Tiny-Tim and I had a game friday I was using my sisters and T-T was having a go with the Sautekh, we were both getting our heads around this necron list with a fair amount of discussion during the game and I took some initial photos but then completely forgot after that. T-T has an epic uk necron force which I have played many times which tends to be simple compared to the Sautekh simply because their is so much choice.

My thoughts on the game well T-T took a similar list to his epicUK one with all fun teleporters but with a bit of everything, without any phase out the Sauteth teleported on the table then stayed pretty much bang in the middle of the board while we engage each other which is what sisters are good at. The impression I got was the fighters are nifty (and the one shot spaceship) being able to put a couple of portals any where on the table with 1+ initiative a 4+ save and some alright shooting. Its the MW ones I'm dreading.

Sounds like a really close match. Interested in your thoughts on the Vault and the C'tan. The teleporting Fearless WE in a group of warriors when I used it came off quite powerful though only being DC2 (and easily singled out) would go down to AT fire pretty easily.

Thanks for writing up the report CAA. It was an interesting game. I certainly made new army mistakes, the Sentry Pylons should have teleported behind the cover, I should have activated the Shard at the beginning of turn 2 and we should have got the Tomb Blade engagement correct.

However my thoughts on the army are that it was fun to play although I certainly needed to make my rally rolls otherwise it would have been a very quick game.
The Night Scythes are an interesting unit and I found the portal to be critical in the final two turns to try and stretch out the game and go for a sneaky win.
I think that the Vault is going to be difficult to test, it will probably see a lot of shots against it in the next few games however it might very well be a must take unit. We shall see.
My saves were good and to hit rolls poor so definitely needs more game to even this out.

I want to try out the Arks and also more Aircraft, there should be some stern tests for the Sisters over the next few weeks.
