A rather quick and brutal game due to some poor dice for the Necrons. We ended up calling it at the end of the second as Matt A. had lost a Phalanx, C'Tan and Pylon, and had his BTS, another Phalanx and Venerator broken off-board.

Start of Game A Monolith Maniple teleports in near the middle of the board. And on the right flank. And left. The Annihilators advance and take out an Obelisk, breaking the Maniple on the right flank. It doubles out near the Scouts. The Land Speeders retain and double, taking out a Monolith. A Phalanx engages out of the Monolith, taking a loss from Scout overwatch. The Scouts amazingly pull off a win for the loss of a stand and a Rhino, the Phalanx withdraws off board. A Pylon attempts to retain and fails, it regroups. The Devastators advance and fail to do anything to the broken Maniple. A Maniple attempts to double and fails, it regroups. The Destructors double and manage to take out a Monolith in the broken Maniple. The Pylon lays a BM on the Scouts. A Phalanx engages out of the center Maniple, the Scouts use their Overwatch. After round one nothing's dead. It goes to round two... The Scouts die horrendously and a Rhino runs away. The Whirlwinds take out the lord and two Warriors. The Vindicators break them. The last Maniple doubles and lays a BM on the Tacticals. The Bikes march to engage next turn. The BTS comes out and takes out an Attack Bike. The Tacticals doucbe on the broken Phalanx and take out one, hacking down two. The Flayed ones engage the Tacticals. One to one... And it goes to a second round. The Tacticals pull off a win (one Flayed one made it off board) for the loss of four stands. The Supreme Commander doubles and takes out a Warrior, completely destroying the broken Phalanx. |

Turn 2 A Obelisk teleports in to be annoying. And the Nightbringer comes in as well. The Annihilators advance away form the Nightbringer and lay a BM on the center Maniple. The Destructors do the same... And take out two Warriors in the open. The Maniple on the left flank doubles and lays a BM on the Supeme Commander. The Phalanx off board fails to retain and engage the SC with a reroll. The Land Speeders advance and break the BTS which withdraws offboard. The Bikes engage the Pylon and score two hits, taking it out. The Nightbringer engages the Scouts. Who take it out with a crit, for the loss of a stand. End of Game End of Game |

jeez, what a disaster! I think I would have focused on one flank to peel the onion (or held off until turn 2). Matt also didn't take as much advantage (when he could, obviously) of the double-shoot-assault-support-disappear Necron trick and leaving Phalanxes out in the open after an assault is an invitation to get them killed. But wow, those rolls were terrible, poor sod. When I saw the nightbringer come in, his targets run away (as per usual) and then get taken down by some scouts, I nearly cried. Note to Matt, don't bring a nightbringer, it sucks. Try a warbarque instead, much more useful. |

You can blame my Speeders for denying the consolidate off trick. They killed a Monolith and he only had one portal open in the middle by the time he engaged out of it with a Phalanx. I think the Nightbringer's pretty scary IF you let him engage you. More often than not that relies on you getting SR, so unless you're playing against IG/Orks he's just going to be left twiddling his thumbs somewhere. Matt B. has pretty much used him as a Blitz grab in the games I've played against him, cowering behind buildings and rubble like the living god that he is. |

Isn't this the same Matt who won the 2011 Adepticon Epic Armageddon Challenge WITH the Necrons? Definitely the bad rolls in this game is what did him in by the looks of it. |

Yep, same Matt EBB. After the game he said that Marines are the only army that've given him trouble with the Necrons. After the VASSAL games I've had with Matt the Muppet (yes another one) my Mobile Castle Formation of Doom (+2) has seen a lot of practice. Multi-quote GO!

The A4 Sheet? I did know, as I pm'd them here asking for permission to add it to the epic-uk site, and I can't remember what happened to that request! |

Good batrep. The Nightbringer will be getting some love with a walker ability soon. |
