Well, we've been doing a lot of Necron playtesting the past week and actually manage to get in a whopping five games in the past few days!  (Though I only played in four of them... which makes six games of EPIC for me this week... sorry Hena!   :D  )

I'll try to post battle reports for all five games!

Setup

4x4 table
Orks won the roll-off and chose edge deployment.

Garrisons and Deployment

Necrons kept everything in reserve.

Orks garrisoned the Big Guns and Stompas in cover and on overwatch, with the Warband in the ruined cathedral near the Stompas and the Stormboyz stretched up from the Ork Blitz to reach the ruins in the centre of the battlefield.

Orks deployed their remaining forces as shown below, with the Gargant in cover in ruins.

Turn 1

Monolith 1 and Pylon 1 teleport in safely on one side of the battlefield, while Monolith 2 and Pylon 2 each receive a single Blast marker arriving on the other side of the battlefield



Strategy roll: Necrons

Pylon 2 powers up and sustains fire on the Stompas? and misses?

Pylon 1 fails to sustain fire, but still manages a shot at the Stompas? and misses? (I love deploying AVs in cover!)

The Gargant trundles forward on a double and blasts Pylon 1 and Monolith 1 with Soopa-Gunz, breaking the Pylon and placing 2 Blast markers on the Monolith formation.

Blitz Brigade 2 doubles on Monolith 2 and destroys a single Obelisk, but breaking the formation.

In a flash of green, the Eques formation advances out of Monolith 2's Portal and obliterates 4 Gunwagonz from Blitz Brigade 2, breaking the formation easily.

Monolith 1 doubles forward and particle whips 1 Big Gun into oblivion.

The Stormboyz jump forward to engage Monolith 1, with the support of the Big Gunz. ?One Stormboy is atomized and an Obelisk dragged down and the Necron lose? but hold their ground.

The Kult of Speed revs their engines to engage, sputter, sputter? and just move forward to try and hear what the Warboss is shouting about? *sigh*

Phalanx 3 steps out of the Portal of Monolith 1 and moves to engage the Gargant. ?Overwatch fire from the Big Gunz drops 2 Necron Warriors before they reach their target. ?The Necrons inflict 2 DC damage to the big war engine, but they are all stomped flat in return, completely wiped out.

With the support of the Gargant, the Kult of Speed, the Stormboyz, and the Big Gunz unit, Blitz Brigade 1 engages the dented Monolith 1? and wipes them out without any assistance.

The Boyz of the Warband double towards the floating Eques, but only manage to lay a single Blast marker.

The Stompas also double forward, successfully negotiating the ruins to fire on Pylon 2, doing no damage, but breaking the bizarre device?

End of Turn: Both Pylons fail to rally, and Monolith 2 fades away. ?The Eques does manage to remove its Blast marker.

For the Orks, only the Gargant and the Stormboyz successfully rally.

Turn 2

Monolith 2 shimmers into existence behind the Boyz, while Monolith 3 and Pylon 2 show up near the Ork Blitz, the Pylon suffering a single Blast marker.




Strategy roll: Necrons

Phalanx 2 charges out of Monolith 3's Portal to engage the co-mingled Blitz Brigade 1 and Kult of Speed? but the metal Warriors have taken on more than they realize and a Skorcha tries to ram and Obelisk, drawing the hovering Necron machines into the fray. ?In the end 2 Flakwagonz and a Deth Kopta are destroyed and all that remain of the Necrons is a lonely stand of Pariahs and the Monolith.

The Eques buzzes forward to advance on the Stompa? and tears apart three of the Ork contraptions, sending the last on running for the hills.

Trying to help his little buddies, the Gargant doubles towards the Eques, but its massive firepower only drops 1 unit of Heavy Destroyers.

The Stormboyz jump on Pylon 1 in hopes of cracking it open? 1 Stormboy and 1 Warbike unit are fluxed, through the Orks still win? and do nothing to the Pylon.

Pylon 3 hums to life and sustains fire on the Gargant, stripping away 2 Power fields.

Phalanx 3 stumbles confusedly out of the Portal of Monlith 2, hoping to engage someone, but not being sure where to go, they get a single Blast marker for their troubles. (Failing the Action Test when coming out of a Portal, really sucks!)

The Kult of Speed zooms forward to engage Monolith 3. ?Three Warbuggies are cooked, but none of the Necron machines survive.

Not liking the look of all that crackling green lightning, the Warband sustains fire on Monolith 2, wiping out the formation.

The Big Gunz also sustain fire (rolled a 4!), targeting Pylon 1, and do 1 DC of damage.

Blitz Brigade 2 doubles back to the Orky Blitz and inflicts 1DC damage on Pylon 3, breaking it?

End of Turn: All Pylons fail to rally, though the other remaining Necron formations do manage to rally. ?The battered Blitz Brigade 2 is the only Ork formation that fails.

Turn 3

Pylon 4 appears almost on top of the Gargant, humming threateningly?


Strategy roll: Orks

In a surprising move, the Gargant sustains fire on the Eques, and destroys 4 Heavy Destroyers, breaking the formation!

Feeling a bit left out, the sole surviving Stompa engages Pylon 4, but is wiped out after doing 1DC of damage.

Pylon 4 sustains fire on the Gargant? and misses?

Phalanx 3, still can't figure out what to do, so they just shamble off into cover.

The Stormboyz double forward to claim the Necron Blitz.

Blitz Brigade 1 sustains fire on Pylon 3 to no effect.

While the Warband doubles towards Pylon 2, also to no effect.

The Big Gunz go on overwatch, securing both Necron's and Ork's Objectives 1?

End of Turn: Broken Necron formations fade away?

Necrons 0 (none) vs Orks 3 (Blitz, BTS, T-n-H)

Quote (Hena @ 28 May 2006 (17:56))
But necrons failed a lot of rally rolls. Too bad that the pylons were mostly targets for everyone. Also I'm quite not sure if engaging a gargant with phalanx was very wise. Better fire one volley from dests to strip the fields and fry it with pylons. Also necrons didn't seem to consentrate the assaults and engages were done without supporting monoliths.

Well, my desire was to break every Monolith I could draw a bead on... then, even though it gives them a "free" move, they aren't gaussing the crap out of me.  *laugh*
