I just want to know if they are fun to play.

I have always enjoyed playing Necrons, it was my 1st army. They are what got me started in 40K!

It all depends on what kind of style of play your into, just like any other army.

sweet!

Just want to see what others think about the fun of the army before I drop 600 on a new army!

$600?

How many points are you getting?

I recommend.... the Phalanx (still available at the War Store for $167)

48 warriors
6 Destroyers
12 Scarabs
1 Lord
1 Monolith
If you fully point out the Lord that is a min of 1744 points.

1 Can black Spary - $5.00
1 Can silver Spray - $5.00
2 tubs of Badab Black - $6.00
2 tubs of a color for the babse - $6.00
Sand - $2.00
Glue - $1.00
Codex $25

So that is 1750 pts for $217.00. Not bad to get a flavor. Too bad all the rest of the stuff is metal (Wraiths, Immortals, Flayed Ones, and Pariahs). At $10-$12 each a 10 robot unit gets a little stiff. Howeve, you can always convert some warriors.

Your gonna want a Pylon Then. Those things are sweet. Back on topic , I like both lists John but would probably choose #1 because of the Monolith.

I don't think you have to run 2 HQ's with Necrons. I wouldn' think about not running 2 in my Chaos but not necessarily so with Necrons. It all depends on what your comfortable playing with and the roles that each are needed for. In list #1 you could drop the D-Lord and a tomb spider to get that nice unit of Immortals and a warscythe for the other Lord!!!

I like the Phase Shifter because it helps to prolong the time before you have to make WBB roles to stay alive. The Phylactery and Phase Shifter used together is pretty nice also.

Next Year? I plan to bring @ least 3K of painted Necrons to Gen Con 2009. If you are nice I'll bring a box of tissues for you Salamanders. afro

I don't play if I cannot field my battle company. sunny

3K barely covers my Land Raiders, vindicators, Dreads and drop pods.

Gotta play min 4500! santa

just kidding, I will take call pretenders!

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Again... thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. I went out and beefed up my Destroyers based on it.

Wish I had time to try these out and get a little more flavor prior to Saturday. Such is life with kids. flower

Well... I said I would have 3K painted. I've got another Phalanx and a 3rd Monolith sitting on my door step as we speak. I think I can get them painted by then.

I got mine off of ebay. They do show up from time to time there. I didn't save alot of money buying it off ebay maybe $10 or so but every little bit helps.

Off topic for a minute: I was wondering if anybody was having any problems connecting to the CAG site. I can't seem to access it thru Yahoo, it keeps taking me to a go-daddy.com page. I have been using google the past couple of times and that works fine. scratch

I can give you a game John. My Black Legion are about 85% painted now, but listed @1750 and not 1850. Have things changed these past few months?

That would be great my man. You probably can teach me a few things for sure. I'm sure "rusty" describes my skillset best. I plan on hitting the painting side hard this week now that classes are over. First time I can remember my desk has neither an Eldar model or a textbook near it..
