    This is a reupload of the video that came out about 1h ago to fix the visuals being out of sync with the audio. It was due to an error that occasionally happens with my (very basic) video editing software that I usually catch before release. I figured it was worth re-editing and uploading given that this one will hopefully be of use to people searching in the future.

    Returned to the game recently. I hopped in originally at end of 4th Ed when Necrons weren’t used much. Loved their ability to come back from the dead and be a lingering annoyance.
    Returned a month or so ago to find out they were the last editions headline army with space marines and got A LOT of love.
    So cue me grabbing two Indomitus halves and all the crypteks I could grab to bolster my older models. Gonna be busy in the next few months

    Thank you so much for the video, I'm isolated in this hobby and I'm reasonably new. I have part of a 9th edition necron set, a few random units, and a whole lot of tyranids but tue necrons are my true passion. Thank you. This is wonderfully helpful

  • @etiennewoodward5775

  • @reavern
    @reavern 7 місяців тому +6

    I’m thankful I started my Necrons army back in 9e with the Indomitus box, and expanded it with the Command Edition starter box. Those two boxes gave me plenty of Warriors, a half dozen Skorpekh Destroyers, and a good assortment of characters. I also appreciated that the starter boxes didn’t overlap with the 9e Necrons Combat Patrol, giving me Immortals/Death Marks, 3 Tomb Blades, and a Doom Scythe.
    The Doom Scythe is virtually unplayable because of 10e’s Flyer rules, but I’m glad I got it - and at a great discount. In comparison, the 10e Necrons Combat Patrol isn’t a great value, but it’s the only option because the 9e Starters and CP boxes are gone.
    The tricky thing is that 10e Necron detachments are geared toward specific unit types, whereas 9e’s dynasties had some good rules without as many restrictions. For new players, they should choose a detachment and buy for it. Don’t try to do everything. I have over 8000 points of Necrons and I still can’t fill an all Destroyer or Canoptek detachment.
    Another reason to be cautious about starting/expanding a Necrons army is that Necron models aren’t the easiest to build. They can be pretty spindly and break easily if you’re not careful. Remember: Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Also, I highly recommend magnetizing the Necrons models’ bases for safe transport. Packing them in foam tends to result in breakage.

    I'm a beginner in living in Japan. I want a Necron Lord, but the only way to get it is to buy it on eBay through an agent. Stupidly, I ended up paying nearly $70 for shipping and handling charges. Therefore, I will modify and demote the $20 overload.

      Necron Lords don’t exist anymore in the new codex (they removed the data sheet completely) so there is absolutely no point in getting one unless you want it to sit on your shelf until 11th edition

    aw you didnt mention their killteam box. For $65 GW retail youre getting a decent discount, one battleline and a great HQ. Even cheaper if you get it through a LGS. You could also get more value out of it if you have some extra necron legs or find a couple bits or warriors for sale. You could make a royal warden proxy with despotek and a cryptek proxy with the apprentek. Total thats roughly 200 points for at max $65.

    Hi. I am a Necrons player and that is all I've ever played. I'm starting to feel weird about reanimation protocols because a lot of the time when I win I have nearly my entire army on the board. All the reanimating, regen, high saves, cover, LOS, etc. It just makes it hard to put my army down. Now I realize it's not a top tier army and this likely has a lot to do with my opponents and their armies, but it does feel kind of odd. And when I face my friend's Genestealer army he does a lot of "reinforcements", which essentially feels like reanimation. And same thing with the Tyranids. It seems like there is a ton of this in 10th.

    How good is the old combat patrol? I am considering starting 40k with necrons, and the combat patrol is an obvious first place, but I hesitate to get the new one it since it has Skorpekh destroyers, which I find to be rather ugly (like of all the units I have seen, I would rate them either dead last or second to dead last) and make me completely uninterested in it since about 1/3 of the money is Skorpekh destroyers.
