You can find out more about which cookies we are using or switch them off in settings. Finally, thePlasmancer. The ability appears on the datasheet of all unitsexcept the Ctan shards and the Tesseract Vault, but just having the ability doesnt unlock the effects by itself. In the old days occasionally getting a bunch of free Destroyers was the main draw of this, not so any more. 9th is proving to reward mobility and durability, and Nephrekh bring both to the table, along with the flexibility to deep strike in key units like Lokhust destroyers. You can add the ability to deep strike, pick up multiple ways to drop mortal wounds on enemies (up to and including an Orbital Strike effect from theQuantum Orb) and interfere with your opponents units once they get close, slowing them down withCountertemporal Nanomines orreducing their accuracy with the Cryptogeometric Adjuster. I expect to see this heavily tested alongside the best of the named Dynasties. I could not be more thrilled about this book and cant wait to get my spooky silver horde on the table, and I hope if youre a Necron player youre now feeling the same way. My plan is to take a Tesla cannon on my Catacomb Command Barge so Ive always got access to this in a pinch. My hot take is that the Dynasties fall into three tiers, roughly looking as follows: On to the next exciting topic Necrons get a mighty 12 more stratagems than they did last time around, including a mix of returning favourites, some improved, and whole new tricks. This has a lot of potential because of the wholly within rider there are going to be a lot of missions where you can quite comfortably keep the enemy out of two quarters as long as youre keeping with the damage pace, and its honestly a big surprise that you can max this completely in turns 4 and 5 if you table your opponent on your fourth turn. Running three singles with the big gun in Szerakhan isextremely funny, but having thought about it I suspect the main other place you might see multiples of these is in Mephrit. Across the board, this book provides a lot of good options for a melee strategy, and Novokh supports that exceptionally well, giving it a good chance of being one of the strongest dynasties. Immortals are probably still OK, but a bit pricy. Combined with being able to take bigger units of Skorpekh in the bookand them picking up a discount from their Indomitus Cost, this makes them look exceptionally spicy. And that, as they say, is it. The Warlord trait feels like the better of the two things here simply because Szarekhandont feel like the Dynasty that wants to go heavy on CORE units, but its nice to have the option. Last but extremely not least in this section we haveEnslaved Protectors, letting a CANOPTEK unit perform a heroic intervention.

Three Canoptek units sit in this slot, and two are very good while one remains puzzling. The Silent King. Previously, the Sautekh warlord trait and some of the characters were duct tape desperately trying to hold together a terrible faction now it might turn out you simply have better options. Their warlord trait is still thefine -1 to hit against the warlord, while their relic is a staff of light that looks a bit paltry compared to another option. Necrons contains everything you need to play a game with. Also able to deep strike natively and intercept withAetheric Interception, they seem like a reasonably plausible tool for holding a home objective while projecting some threat in some lists, though investingenough points into them to make them worth it could be a tough ask. Ironically, it still basically does the same thing once per game in your command phase you pick a unit within 6 and roll reanimation for all dead models in the unit. There are lots of ways you can make him do more than that though. Both their warlord trait and relic mess with command protocols in powerful ways. They keep their deep strike, trade wound re-rolls out for extra hits on 6s against non-VEHICLEs and -1AP, and have a flat -2Ld aura. Cute concept, amazing models that will make awesome terrain, but probably not a big competitive hitter.#. Want a unit that can one-round Mortarion, Magnus, Ghazghkull, probably even Big Bird (though abilities that reduce attack damage characteristics do still work, so maybe not quite that last one)? The best kind of missing stratagem! Getting a more substantial actual improvement, theGauntlet of the Conflagrator, which rolls a dice for each model in a target unit and does mortals on 6s, gets increased range in line with other flamers, and can now be fired every turn. Cryptothralls return from Indomitus, and with 3 months more information about how the game plays we know that cheap INFANTRY units that can be chucked into strategic reserves in bulk to pop out to perform Actions are really good. Honestly, Id say Warlord Traits are the one real area of disappointment in the book. I must admit that despite the extremely eye-catching core ability Im not super sold on Nihilakh. Now, having slumbered in stasis for millennia, they are rising up to conquer it again. When it stays still its guns now get a tonne better, making them actually pretty potent (though lacking in AP), and the gravity pulse is now a targeted effect that slows down fliers and can put mortals on planes. That nets out to being more reliable against small stuff and less reliable against Knights and their ilk, a definite sidegrade. Codex Supplement - Ultramarines - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. For now well have to wait and see on that, but if youare allowed to use these, definitely try some of them out. TheChronomancer is the space wizards space wizard, all floating cubes and weird time magic. Especially the NIghtbringer. NBD. In the initial phase at least, dust off your Technomancers (which youdefinitely have if you played 8th) and smash the buy button on a Chronomancer. Up front, the bad news is that the old Cryptek +1 to reanimation aura is gone. This lists you redeploy up to three units within your deployment zoneor move them into strategic reserves. Technomancers, one of the Cryptek sub-classes, can now reanimate a single dead NECRON CORE model from a unit (or d3 Warriors) in your command phase in homage to their old abilities, but dont expect to be routinely rolling this on a 4+. Enduring Will (-1D) is unchanged andEternal Madness(re-roll melee wounds) is improved very mildly, now being always on rather than just in the first round of combat. I expect to take this on my Catacomb Command Barge (the ideal wielder) pretty much every game. Words cannot express how gleeful I am about this. Well the book contains: Were going to focus today on the content thats relevant for matched play our Crusade specialists will be bringing you their thoughts on the new rules for narrative campaigns next week. Necrons get whatappears to be the standard extra warlord and extra relic strats. Starting off Elites with the normal-ish Necron units, we haveDeathmarks.

HQ Embed Codex-Necron-9th-Edition to websites for free. Its new mode of operation (bringing in CORE units from strategic reserves) is cool as well, as is being able to swap the gauss for death rays (though you do pay a cost, and honestly Id keep the gauss a lot of the time). No arguing. Since thats 5pts cheaper than the other options its worth a serious look now, and this unit ends up sufficiently all-roundgood that almost every build is probably worth it somewhere (even gauss given how much the book pushes rapid fire). Stellar Alignment Protocol, a replacement forDamage Control Override, now costs 2CP for TITANIC. 6.1 Codex Supplements; 6.2 Campaigns and Expansions; 7 7th Edition. Relentless March gives any CORE units that start their move within 6 an extra inch of movement if they make a Normal Move or advance. It gave a chance for dead models from your units to get back up at the start of your turn, which was cool in theory but in practice ran face-first into the lethality of 8th. With any gauss weapon, including the new reapers, you can also popDisintegration Capacitors, auto-wounding on unmodified 6s to hit. Most notably, all of the following are available: Having these powerful, workhorse effects available immediately makes it more likely these will get used, but obviously the second half needs to pay off as well. I will try and maintain my objectivity theres some stuff here I still think misses the mark but this is going to be more effusive than my normal fare becausemy army might actually be good now. We start strong with theTechnomancer, and while a lot of these are cool, this guy does a tonne of stuff supporting multiple archetypes. With our three tokens, we can buy one whole Lychguard, with one token left over. Note:a reader has pointed out that Szarekh may not actually get the trait here, as being a dynastic agent excludes him. Getting a bit of a downgrade, we start with theVeil of Darkness (teleport the bearer and a friendly unit), which picks up a CORE restriction on the unit riding along. For 2CP, this lets them ignore invulnerable saves for all their attacks in the phase, helping to add to how utterly horrendous they now are. Lastly though. Straight up justmurdering4W characters half the time. Im expecting to use Nephrekh heavily in my early games, and suggest you give them a try as well. Warriors seem like they get a new lease of life with this book. Just through attrition, it feels like it will sometimes be really hard to stop this. Clad in self-repairing bodies of living metal and wielding weapons that harness the most devastating energies of the cosmos, the Necrons are a terrifying enemy. That mostly takes us down to any other business, with some options for Technomancers and Ghost Arks to boost the number of models they can bring back, and an option for the Reanimator to change the target of its nanoscarab beam (and/or turn it on during the first turn, which is probably more relevant) but I saved the best for last. At 75pts, I think thisll see use as its priced right for a utility tool, but its not quite the instant slam-dunk that, say, the Kelermorph was. Other Ctan? The defences are the eye-catching thing out the gate. Necrons Codex Tier List - Strongest Necron Units in 9th Edition? Taking the trait and stratagem together, pretty muchany unit in a Novokh army becomes capable of doing some damage in the fight phase, and the units that were already good at it become exceptional. There are some abilities that mess with this in a positive way most notably the resurrection orb. Despite his new statline getting added right at the end of 8th, my boyIlluminor Szeras improves further. Download PDF Share Related Publications.

Were going to do our absolute best to cover everything today, but its clear that the degree of upheaval that 9th Edition Codexes are going to represent issignificantly greater than any changes we saw in 8th. I think this will see experimentation it may turn out not to quite work, but this is such an out-there capability that it needs to be properly looked at. Ophydian Destroyers can burrow back into deep strike to return on the following turn, while Tomb Blades can advance and shoot without penalty, treating Rapid Fire weapons as Assault when they do so.
