It's always a weird fealing facing the deathwatch. First your horrified by the inasane power of engagements they have and think that all hope is lost when the assaulting start. But then you see them startign to fall apart slowly and get grinded into dust by the attrition of battle.

As i commented before, they feel very much like a alphastrike super elite army that can't handle prolonged combat. That to me is very fluffy and and interesting style of playing. You can also do lots of different combinaions of assault themed lists which is very fun.

i also gotta be honest and say that i don't know how to play necrons well at all and maybe didn't use them to their advantage to the fullest.

I wished mor epeople tried this list out! It's fun, got it's own theme and deserves to be approved.
