Well, back to the batreps!

Got in two games vs Necrons this evening; the first against Biel-Tan!

Battlefield:

4x6
Biel-Tan chose edge deployment.

Deployment:

Biel-Tan kept Aspect Warhost 1 and Windriders 2 in reserve in the Wraithgate.

Necrons kept all formations in reserve.

Biel-Tan garrisoned both Ranger Troupes forward of the Eldar Blitz and on overwatch.

The remaining deployment is shown below:

Turn 1

Pylon 1 phases in safely near some strange green crystals.

Pylon 2 appears in some central ruins, takes a Blast marker on the way in, then takes a point of damage? and then explodes in a green flash! ?(OOPS! ?My opponent was quite displeased with that!)



Pylon 3 appears in the exact same spot that Pylon 2 occupied, takes a Blast marker, then takes a point of damage? and doesn?t explode.

Monolith 1 shows up on the Eldar left flank, taking 1 Blast marker.

Monolith 2 materializes behind a hill on the Eldar right flank, while Monolith 3 emerges right beside Guardian Warhost 2 and gets one Blast marker.

In response, the Avatar appears to guard the same Guardians?



Strategy Roll: Biel-Tan

With a roar of rage, the Avatar engages Monolith Group 3, knocking an Obelisk out of the sky, and breaking the Necron machines? which stay put.


Inspired by the Avatar, Guardian Warhost 2 engages Monolith 3 as well, drawing the Avatar in? when the smoke clears, nothing?s been hurt at all! ?The Necrons still lose? and stay put!

Falcons 1 advance on Monolith 1 and destroy its 2 Obelisks, the broken machine moves towards the Eldar lines?

Phalanx 3 steps out of Monolith 1 to engage Falcons 1, who respond by drawing in the broken Monolith. ?Lethal energies flash between the two forces? 1 Falcon goes down and does a single unit of Necron Warriors? the Eldar manage a narrow win, taking out another Warrior. ?The broken Necrons fallback, but the Falcons pursue?



Pylon 3 marshals, zapping Fire Prisms 2, crisping one, and breaking the Troupe, and clearing its Blast marker.

Aspect Warhost 2 sees that there?s an unused Necron Portal nearby, so they mount up to engage Monolith 3, staying in their Wave Serpents and letting the Swooping Hawks lead. ?The support of the Avatar and Guardian Warhost 2 finally fell the Monolith, with no Eldar casualties. ?The victorious Aspect Warriors then race to the forested hill and disembark near Monolith 2.



Monolith 2 advances on Aspect Warhost 2, getting into easy support range, and place a Blast marker on them.

The Wraiths of Recon 1 swarm out of Monolith 2 to engage Aspect Warhost 2. ?The Eldar lose 1 Striking Scorpion and 1 Wave Serpent, but wipe out the Wraiths, placing a Blast marker on the nearby Monolith 2.



Fire Prisms 2 advance to fire on Pylon 3, but miss because it?s in cover. ?*sigh*

The Wraithgate then hums to life, and the Warp Spiders leap out to engage Pylon 3 and they shred it to pieces before it can respond.



Phalanx 1 doubles out of the Tomb Complex to grab cover nearby.

Pylon 1 attempts to sustain fire, but fails, and just shoots at Falcons 2, placing a single Blast marker.

Windriders 1 engage the broken Phalanx 3, with the support of Falcons 2. ?The do no damage, and lose 3 Jetbikes, and then, but to add insult to injury, win by ?1?, eliminating the broken Phalanx!



Phalanx 2 holds, deep in the depths of the Tomb Complex as there are no Portals available for use.

Falcons 2 double on Monolith 1 and destroy it.

Wraiths 2 hold as well, biding their time.

Rangers 2 stay on overwatch.

Guardian Warhost 1 goes on overwatch.

Rangers 1 double to fire to suppress on Pylon 1, breaking it?

End of Turn

Windrider 1 fails to rally.

Pylon 1 fails to rally.

Turn 2

Cloaked in dark glory, the Nightbringer arrives near Aspect Warhost 2?



Strategy Roll: Necrons? on a tie!

In deadly silence, the Nightbringer engages Aspect Warhost 2, getting support from Monolith 2.  The Eldar do a single DC of damage to the C?tan, and a single Wave Serpent survives the onslaught fleeing in terror.



Monolith 2 pursues on a double and eliminates the sole survivor of Aspect Warhost 2.

Fire Prisms 2 advance on Monolith 2 and place a Blast marker.

Guardian Warhost 2 engages Monolith 2, with the support of Rangers 2, scoring a single hit, which is saved.  In return, the lose one each of Guardian, Heavy Weapon Platform, and Support Platform? losing 3 more Guardians to combat resolution!


The Wraiths of Recon 2 then boil out of Monolith 2 to engage and eliminate the remains of Guardian Warhost, staying just out of range of any overwatch fire!


Falcons 2 advance on Pylon 1 and place a single Blast marker.

Ranger 1 doubles to get close to Pylon 1 and secures Necron Objective 1.

The Warp Spiders then leap forward to engage Pylon 1.  



A monofilament wire cuts something [i]IMPORTANT[i] as the Pylon explodes in a massive (13cm radius) green flash, engulfing Falcons 2, Ranger 1, and the Warp Spiders!



The Falcons are completely eliminated, 5 units of Rangers are vapourized, and 4 units of Warp Spiders cease to exist? the survivors are *seriously* broken!  (WOW!  I have never seen anything like that before!  The crit on the Pylon is an automatic ?hit?, and the low Eldar armour really didn?t help at all!

Phalanx 1 goes on overwatch, guarding the Tomb Complex.

Fire Prisms 1 pauses, marshals, moves, and clears their Blast marker.

Phalanx 2 holds in the Tomb Complex.

Falcons 1 try to rev up and march, but fail, moving slowly forward.

Windriders 2 hold in the Webway, while Guardian Warhost 1 stays on overwatch?

End of Turn

Only Ranger Troupe 1 and Windrider Troupe 1 rally for the Eldar.

All Necron formations rally.

Turn 3

No teleports.

Strategy Roll: Biel-Tan?on another tie!

Fire Prisms 2 sustain fire on Monolith 2? taking out the Monolith and an Obelisk.

The Nightbringer advances towards Ranger 2, and Lightning Arcs Fire Prisms 2, shorting out one tank, and breaking the survivors.

Wraiths 2 engage Ranger 2, getting caught in some crossfire overwatch, which drops a single Wraith? since they were in cover when fire on!  One Wraith and 1 Ranger go down, and the Eldar manage to win by ?1?, pushing off the Wraiths off.



Fire Prisms 1 advance to pop-up and eliminate the last Obelisk of Monolith 2.

Phalanx 2 holds in the Tomb Complex and decides to go back to sleep for a while.

Falcon 1 doubles and fire on the Nightbringer, doing 2DC damage and driving the C?tan horror from the battlefield.

And we call the game because we want to get in a second match?

End of Turn:

Necron 1 (BTS) vs Biel-Tan 2 (DTF, TSNP)

Wicked game - and I love Necron criticals... :D  So what is your take on the new and improved (read: weakened) Necron?

Post subject:  [BatRep] Necrons vs Biel-Tan

Yeah, it was a heckuva boom... *laugh* ?Seeing the effect of that, my opponent commented about dropping Pylons right into the heart of enemy territory and just engaging with them to hope for the critical!  Certainly made up for the one exploding in the ruins at the start of the game!  Now, if my opponent had dropped that into my deployment zone, I might've lost a lot of stuff!

Necrons have certainly been toned down! ?I'm of the mind that having only +2 EA on the Monoliths is too low... I'm not scared of them anymore, and made an effort to drag broken ones into assaults so I could take shots at them!

I'll comment more after I post the other battle... which may take a bit, as I'm off to see Iron Man soon!
