Necrons take 5th place in RedWar tournament!

Not been much posting on the blog for a while what with all these new-fangled video batreps!

I took my new Necrons to a small tournament run by my local club on Sunday 1st July. Had three games, the first against Tau, which I (very) narrowly won, a last turn deepstrike from my veil squad (see list below) managed to shoot some Kroot off an objective so I won seize ground 2-1.

Second game vs Space Marines and a flank attack by the Scythes wasted his tanks and Dreads, I then proceeded to crush his army with an unstoppable onslaught, winning capture and control 2-0.

Third game and I was on the top table (!) vs my arch-nemesis Rob and his Grey Knights. Some dodgy tactics on my part meant I lost 3-0 on killpoints, so a loss and pushed me down to fifth place (out of 14), with Rob winning the tournament.

Overall I was really chuffed with two wins, especially with a new army and only two practise games.

List is below:

Overlord - ccb and warscythe
Overlord - ccb and warscythe
10 warriors (2 dest teks here, 1 solar pulse)
5 warriors and Ghost Ark (2 dest teks here, 1 solar pulse)
5 warriors (veiltek here)
10 Immortals (lord with warscythe and mss here) in Night Scythe
6 scarabs
2 Doomscythes

Veiltek squad was great, Doomscythes performed really well in second game and had a nice threat factor to them. Scarabs were great, very survivable in cover. Overlords didn't perform that well, mainly cos the ccb's got blasted at the first opportunity. Not sure about the ghost ark in this list, but 2 would be good with a slower list and bigger warrior squads. Night Scythe was great. Immortals were ok.

Looking forward to playing some games with 6th edition!
