'Morning gents.
A lazy Saturday morning; e-thumbing through the revisions for necron fleets, looking at all the good work and rather regretting I didn't get some more scythe class cruisers to chop up and convert.
The necrons are something of a headache for me - the significant other loves playing with them, who wouldn't? Harder than Chinese calculus, after all. In a 1,000 point game (armada lists) the usual choice is
1x Tombship
1x Scythe
1x Shroud
I tend to find killing necron vessels damn near impossible with their 2+ save and ability to slip away unnoticed. By comparison, my ships have a nasty habit of spontaneously transforming into expanding clouds of dust, often accompanied by self-satisfied cackling.
My previous encounters have led me to a strategy focusing all attention on one of their softer targets in the hope that come time to add up VP's, I've maintained some shred of dignity. Sadly, the new BFG:R fleet lists appear to have removed said table and I'm left wondering: now what?
The other fleets we have knocking around aren't so much of an issue - boarding actions. Lots and lots of boarding actions. Craftworld eldar, Chaos & the bugs can all munch their way through a necron ship in some shape or form but I'm struggling with the Imperial Navy.
Aside from upping the nova cannon count (tempting), can any of you chaps recommend fleet choices or tactics?
C'mon guys, help a (battle)brother out, glorious defeat in combat is one thing but having your ass handed to you
by a girl is just plain embarrassing
