Codex Harlequins – May 19th. Weighing in as one of the longest and most complex datasheets in the game, it’s hard to get a definite read on him by my impression is that he’s incredible. They’re packing another extremely useful buff, allowing you to select one unit within 9″ in your command phase to get charge re-rolls and a 5++. Weighing in at 100pts, give or take, you can either take him with the Indomitus glaive/arrow setup or one of the older weapons. Adding two Arks and two reaper squads massively shores up horde matchups, as the volume threat is considerable, and the big Triarch Praetorian squad is an especially huge threat in a list where opponents are going to have to choose between trying to kill them and trying to take out Szarekh, especially with the Chronomancer following them around and providing a 5++. The custom power (a replacement for the old Gaze shooting attack) is vicious right out the gate – you pick a target (with no LoSir-like restrictions or anything) and roll 3d6, doing d3 MWs for each 4+. Compared to Space Marines, I think Games Workshop took a much more conservative approach to the CORE design philosophy here, which may end up hurting the book in the long-term as further codexes are released. You can add the ability to deep strike, pick up multiple ways to drop mortal wounds on enemies (up to and including an Orbital Strike effect from the Quantum Orb) and interfere with your opponent’s units once they get close, slowing them down with Countertemporal Nanomines or reducing their accuracy with the Cryptogeometric Adjuster. No feel no pains allowed. Great unit, probably good enough to see play in 3s even in this melee-focused metagame.FlyerNight Scythe. After that, Transcendant C’tan are kind of a climbdown. As baseline, in your command phase  they can reanimate one model from a CORE unit, or d3 Warriors. Add to Cart. We’ve known for a while now the first two will be Space Marines and Necrons, and on Saturday they are both up for preorder. This codex is presenting a compelling mission-focused style of play for Necrons that is ideally suited for the 9th edition playstyle that has come into focus in the last two months. Purge the Vermin is like an inverse Engage on All Fronts – from turn 2 onward, you get 2VP for each table quarter that there are no enemy units wholly within. At the point where everything in a bubble is taking 2-3 mortals, with more to come in later turns, some armies have a real problem. The new book represents a near ground-up redesign of the faction, both unlocking a huge array of new choices and giving us a hint of the direction that Games Workshop want to take 9th Edition. Putting 6pts worth of Bring It Down in your list without much purpose is also a touch sell. His auras also affect Triarch Praetorians who would otherwise be left with access to few buffs in the codex as most rules affect CORE or units. The former is probably more of a problem than the latter for how you’re going to use these, just saying. When it stays still its guns now get a tonne better, making them actually pretty potent (though lacking in AP), and the gravity pulse is now a targeted effect that slows down fliers and can put mortals on planes. Credit: Chris CowieLast in this section is the Triarch Stalker. The wound re-rolls were the most important part of the effect, and this will still see heavy use in any army running Lokhusts, but it’s not as spicy as it might have been. Scarabs are still fine as space fillers (and you can take them in 9s again), and thanks to all the boosts to Canoptek and melee can actually do some legitimate damage in some situations. When it stays still its guns now get a tonne better, making them actually pretty potent (though lacking in AP), and the gravity pulse is now a targeted effect that slows down fliers and can put mortals on planes. Detachment Abilities: Reanimation Protocols and Command Protocols. This is also great news for existing Necron players – pretty much whatever set of tools you have access to, there will be a way to put them together that leverages the new book. The best kind of missing stratagem!Gravitic Singularity –  The Obelisk has received a ground-up redesign, rendering this meaninglessThere’s also a couple of notable downgrades. Your core forces are extremely durable, while your specialist units are exceedingly effective when deployed in the right situations. This, of course, combines extremely well with the new custom dynasty granting objective secured to these units so they can also more easily deny your opponent primary points while doing damage. Lychguard, as CORE units, can make excellent use of the stratagem to boost a units strength by +1 taking them to strength 8. The Gauntlet of Fire is now 12″ range with a heavy flamer profile, letting him rack up some body count against hordes, while his Lord of the Storm ability trades being  a bit less good on the initial target (now 3MWs on a 4+) for splashing on a 4+ rather than only a 6. Vehicles aren’t a huge part of the meta right now and you do want them around to get the most from this guy, but they’re no slouch otherwise and I’m certainly still going to pick him up as the world’s number one C’tan appreaciator.Lastly though. He’s dangerous at range and up close, and against an army poorly tooled to deal with him at a distance, I can see him racking this up over a game.In Battlefield Supremacy we have two choices – Purge the Vermin and The Treasures of the Aeons. If you’re up against these, you need to try and pack damage into them whenever possible.All C’tan also know two powers – the named ones all have a unique one and one from the list, while the Transcendant picks two from the list. His ability to seize control of an enemy VEHICLES gun has also changed to a roll against Ld rather than a flat 4+, on 3d6 most of the time and 2d6 against TITANIC. Every unit in your army getting to make a 6″ pre-game move, after you know who’s going first, is absolutely buck wild, and one of the most staggeringly powerful abilities I’ve seen put to print for a while. The wound re-rolls were the most important part of the effect, and this will still see heavy use in any army running Lokhusts, but it’s not as spicy as it might have been. They’re…odd. As such, stratagems that could have been very powerful if they applied to other units are fairly tame overall. Legions of durable infantry lumber up the board, surrounded by a panoply of strange and terrible damage dealers, whether they be viciously be-clawed constructs, robot space wizards wielding arcane relics, imprisoned star gods or looming ancient war machines. Now only goes off on a 3+ rather than 2+, but does 3MWs base and 3+d3 on a 6.Times Arrow: Instantly deletes a model if you roll against the unit’s wounds characteric. You can optionally upgrade him with either a Canoptek Cloak or a Canoptek Control node. I have literally always called this “Rotate Quantum Shields” in my games, and this is now pretty much exactly that. Returning from the void to reclaim his lost empire, the Silent King towers over the Necron codex as the ultimate toolkit model. Most notably, all of the following are available: Having these powerful, workhorse effects available immediately makes it more likely these will get used, but obviously the second half needs to pay off as well. This guy is super pushed, and I think the premium anti-tank ranged option available to the faction once you buddy them up with a Canoptek Control Node Technomancer. Add in the ability to use Whirling Onslaught to protect them and you have a premium unit that’s going to be filling the Bladeguard role in the Necron army extremely well. Specialising in Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k. However, once you start moving then you don’t get to shoot the big gun as effectively, and it’s all a bit confusing. However, if you need something, anything really dead, use the big swing. Been Around the Block AduroT wrote: Damage spillover as in my weapon does 3 Damage, it will kill 3 Warriors with a single blow. The Voltaic Staff does give the Lokhust Lord a way around this though meaning that if you need a cheap beater (or want to spend the extra points on a resurrection orb to go with your Destroyers) they’re still worth a look. This guy is super pushed, and I think the premium anti-tank ranged option available to the faction once you buddy them up with a Canoptek Control Node Technomancer. I’ve got a tonne of these guys waiting in the wings, and I’m ready to get them out again.Immortals are probably still OK, but a bit pricy. The former is probably more of a problem than the latter for how you’re going to use these, just saying.Each C’tan also has their own tricks, starting with the Deceiver. NBD.It’s the statline that’s the real gold though. After suffering through the whole of 8th with an extremely underpowered Codex, Necrons are at the front of the queue for 9th Edition, and in the opinion of your humble ARROGANT AND GLORIOUS correspondant it’s good news. This is an incredibly potent buff, and especially good with the spiicy Canoptek Doomstalker. There is a part of me that, like with the lord, looks at their price tag and says “but I could buy a spicy Cryptek with that”, and I think the buffs being limited to CORE make them an especially hard sell – but again, if you decided to go all in on just so many warriors they could have a place.Skorpekh Lord. For example, Code of Honor (3 points for each enemy unit killed by a NOBLE) synergizes very well with a list involving the Silent King, who is a wreaking ball of devastation. Warlord Traits and Relics to upgrade your characters. Quite swingy, but with Ld 10 the odds are often in your favour, and here the spikes where you do truly appaling damage probably pay for the times you miss. Cute concept, amazing models that will make awesome terrain, but probably not a big competitive hitter.#. They keep their deep strike, trade wound re-rolls out for extra hits on 6s against non-VEHICLEs and -1AP, and have a flat -2Ld aura. Purge the Vermin also seems very reasonable as it allows you to score 2 points for each table corner your opponent does not have units wholly within at the end of your turn. Rounding out the upgrade column, Voidreaper has been changed. Always fun to have.The last big category we’re always looking for is mobility. They made the Monolith a Lord of War GW noooooooo. Format: Hardback 120pp, Eng, … Credit: Chris CowieLast in this section is the Triarch Stalker. brutal killers), but can now be taken in units of up to six and got cheaper, going down to 35ppm each. At the same price point, that makes these feel really hard to justify, and while they’re not a bad unit by any stretch, I’m skeptical they’ll make the cut that often over the more durable options of Skorpekh and Wraiths. Codex T’au Empire – March 10th. The Annihilation Barge remains as forgettable as ever. Adding to that, wandering around in a group of three is great for them, as they essentially get For the Greater Good, so anything charging any one of them risks catching a doomsday blast to the face. Ghazghkull’s ability? He’s not cheap, so you do need a proper purpose for him (probably Triarch Praetorians), but you do at least get a good package for the price. Lastly though. It’s also still only for Lokhust Destroyers – the other flavours have their own tricks.Now for the good stuffNew and Improved StratagemsThere’s an absolute abundance of riches here, so let’s start with some simple ones. Posted by. It’s packed full of new lore, rules, and much more. While the nerf to Extermination Protocols stings, the fact that it still gives you full wound re-rolls means that the high-rate firepower from the gauss cannons can adapt to almost any target. I think these secondary options are fairly solid but certainly list dependent. This lists you redeploy up to three units within your deployment zone or move them into strategic reserves. They’re even better alongside The Silent King, who can use a lot of his effects otherwise locked to CORE on them.Another surprise improvement is Wraiths. Relic wise, the Veil of Darkness has been slightly nerfed but remains a near must-have, and there are some good generic weapon options. The list gives up no kill secondaries for maximum points, has the Lokhust unit to clear out a ranged threat (deep striking if necessary), and feels a whole lot stronger than anything like it did before.I Just Can’t Wait to Be KingSzarekhan Supreme Command +5CPThe Silent King, Warlord – 450Szarekhan Patrol -2CPHQTechomancer, Canoptek Control Node, Voltaic Staff, Metallodermic Tesla Weave – 110Troops10 Warriors, reaper – 130ElitesTriarch Stalker, Heat Ray – 140 10 Triarch Praetorians, rods – 250Heavy SupportCanoptek Doomstalker – 140 Canoptek Doomstalker – 140Dedicated TransportGhost Ark – 145Szarekhan Patrol -2CPHQChronomancer, Entropic Lance – 80Troops10 Warriors, reaper – 130Heavy SupportCanoptek Doomstalker – 140Dedicated TransportGhost Ark – 145Total – 2000pts, 13CPThis list is not complicated. Losing FLY is also a huge problem on the relatively dense boards of 9th. For 2CP, this lets them ignore invulnerable saves for all their attacks in the phase, helping to add to how utterly horrendous they now are. All Lords of War that are not Knights or Supreme Commanders are really tough to get into lists, coming with big CP price tags and not benefittting from detachment abilities in Super Heavy Auxiliary detachments. Zandrekh is quite a bit improved, but with everything being pricy it’s still hard to justify his cost. Most notably, Necrons have received several powerful new melee options such as Skorpekh and Ophydian Destroyers and the Silent King. Mechanical Augmentation can now target any Core unit, which puts Tomb Blades, Lychguard and Deathmarks on the table along with Warriors and Immortals. Cute concept, amazing models that will make awesome terrain, but probably not a big competitive hitter.#Army ListsWhat’s a review without a couple of lists? The big concern I have with these, honestly, is that already when I’ve been trying to get blocks of 10 into lists I’ve been struck by being able to have 10 Warriors and some Crytpothralls for Actions at the same price. Just through attrition, it feels like it will sometimes be really hard to stop this. They’re fractionally more expensive in support of all of this, but not enough so that they aren’t easily the second most interesting after the Technomancer.Necron Plasmancer. Given they’re also healthily priced and CORE, this should make at least 5-model units a pretty common sight, and here I curse GW for taking away my excuse not to get around to painting mine. After deploying, your opponent picks three objective markers, and at the end of your turn you get points for holding those – 2VP for 1, 3VP for 2, 5VP for all three. They get some buffs, gaining T5 at base and having their gauss option go up to 30″ range, but the downside is that Tesla is way weaker than it used to be, only triggering on an unmodified 6 and here having a 2PPM price premium. They also pack two different weapon options which are both pretty cool in their own way, and actually has a built-in invuln unlike the rest of these fragile chumps. Pleasantly surprised by how well these came out, and looking forward to getting mine back on the table – maybe even aiming to double up to 2×5.What’s good for Wraiths, sadly, ends up bad for our last entry, the Ophydian Destroyers. The Necrons are a deathless race of alien androids, rulers of the galaxy in a long-forgotten era. Since you will almost always have a NOBLE, this will come up most games. The only silver lining for enemies planning to go after them at range is that none of them can benefit from Look Out Sir. The Nightbringer. You could also theoretically bring this on from strategic reserves to do the same later in the game. The real spice is the change to Counter Tactics. From this section, I’d expect most lists not going in on a Named Character to take one Overlord and, if they’re taking Destroyers, one of the two Destroyer Cult characters. Methodical Destruction returns from 8th, allowing you to pour firepower into a unit you really want dead right now, and no longer even requiring a successful wound to go through from your first volley to trigger. Still a mixed story overall, but better than the warlord traits, with the addition of the Voltaic Staff being a huge boon, and the Veil and Orb having plenty of serious use cases. Combined with improved splash damage from some C’tan powers and from Imotekh’s big lightning bolt, some armies are going to have a rough time with their units being chipped away by gradual mortal splash. Given that the buff support for Gauss is also just better, I think there’s a use case for trying that option out as well. Weighing in at 100pts, give or take, you can either take him with the Indomitus glaive/arrow setup or one of the older weapons. Interesting stuff. Both of these pack the United in Destruction aura, granting nearby DESTROYER CULT units wound re-rolls of 1 – handy as Skorpekh are great and Lokhusts still seem decent. Meanwhile, the Technomancer has two very useful arkana options to help further buff Canoptek units or help in the reanimation of a non-CORE model. MWBD let’s you pick a friendly CORE unit within 9″ in your commant phase, and give them +1 to their hit rolls till your next command phase. Enduring Will gets a bunch more relevant thanks to being able to buy extra traits and the Skorpekh Lord existing – once you put him on this and add the option to use Whirling Onslaught they’re a total nightmare to kill, and sticky melee nasties are exactly what you want in 9th. It’s also still only for Lokhust Destroyers – the other flavours have their own tricks. Oh, they still randomly reanimate Scarabs for free, so have fun with that. Necrons have four special rules shared between a lot of units: Right up front, the substantially increased breadth of Reanimation Protocols and Living Metal is great. Moving down the hierarchy, Lords are still kind of embarassingly terrible at everything, being stuck at 3A with no invuln. 2018. Rather than turning off Auras (theoretically good, clunky on a slow model in practice), now once per game when an opponent tries to use a stratagem you can just say “no”, it isn’t activated (so no CP are spent) and can’t be used for the rest of the battle round. They’re about to have a bad time. All C’tan also know two powers – the named ones all have a unique one and one from the list, while the Transcendant picks two from the list. In order to use Command Protocols the following has to be true: As long as you meet the first two conditions, then before the game you prepare command protocols. At T5 or 6, this is the perfect sweet spot for this effect, as it lets them push S4 (or S5 for the lord) attacks to only wounding on 6s, and even most really nasty stuff to need 4s. Will this codex banish the dark millennia of 8th edition and allow for the reign of the Necrons? Expert observers may recognise that as “free, reliable Vect” which is quite the thing. They also have a very swingy ranged attack. If you’re up against these, you need to try and pack damage into them whenever possible. Ultimately, that’s probably a fair change, because I still expect to take it a lot, especially as pulling a big Warrior unit out of combat and still letting them shoot is a good use case. At only 60pts per model in units of up to three and coming with a pretty ferocious statline, they’re a very effecting push threat that’s extremely well placed to benefit from a whole host of powerful buffs. They get Relentless March as well, and can bring a Resurrection Orb, but at 70pts they’re a tough sell for one of your limited HQ slots. This gives a unit of Skorpekh Destroyers or a Skorpekh Lord -1 to wound rolls against them for a phase. You could also theoretically bring this on from strategic reserves to do the same later in the game. The big concern I have with these, honestly, is that already when I’ve been trying to get blocks of 10 into lists I’ve been struck by being able to have 10 Warriors and some Crytpothralls for Actions at the same price. Tesla in general takes a bit of a knock in this book compared to 8th, but if there’s a place for using lots of it Mephrit is going to be it. As mentioned before, each of these has two effects and you can only pick one – unless your detachment is from a Dynasty that favours that specific protocol, in which case you get both when that one activates. Small units of these feel like they could have play in a Novokh list with Anrakyr though. and absolutely packed with rules. This guy is super pushed, and I think the premium anti-tank ranged option available to the faction once you buddy them up with a Canoptek Control Node Technomancer. Relentless March gives any CORE units that start their move within 6″ an extra inch of movement if they make a Normal Move or advance. Up first, and probably the most niche, Code of Combat in No Mercy, No Respite gives you 3VP when a NOBLE destroys an enemy unit. The Nightbringer doesn’t really need it, but even for him it can be relevant if they need to use their sweep attack against some targets.Skorpekh lord & Destroyers. This lets you soup up Wraiths or big Scarab Swarms nicely, but really goes over the top on Canoptek Spyders, who come in units of three and are MONSTERS, so hit like goddamn trucks with this added.Phylacterine Hive (20pts): Technomancer only. Art of War coach and avatar of the Hive Mind Alex Macdougall has emerged from the shadows to give us his thoughts…, Hello everyone! They can deep strike (very nice with the wound rate limit), has built-in -1 to hit (sure), and in his most eye-catching ability can enact a Grand Illusion at the start of the first battle round. Finally, in Shadow Operations you get a decent action secondary in Ancient Machines. Purge the Vermin is like an inverse Engage on All Fronts – from turn 2 onward, you get 2VP for each table quarter that there are no enemy units wholly within. However, if you need something, anything really dead, use the big swing. Codex Deathwatch – May 5th. For Necrons specifically, extra warlord traits help because of the mandate to make a NOBLE your warlord. This list is not complicated. I could not be more thrilled about this book and can’t wait to get my spooky silver horde on the table, and I hope if you’re a Necron player you’re now feeling the same way. Don’t trouble your tournament lists with one, but if you have one built and love it dearly, it’ll be a lot more fun to use now.Last, but extravagantly not least, the Silent King. It used to be best on a Cryptek (because cheap), but Crypteks are also super squishy. The army tended to be very vehicle-centric with a tremendous amount of firepower, often sacrificing board control for pure efficiency and the threat of three Doomscythes unleashing an absurd amount of mortal wounds to much of your army. Anrakyr the Traveller is slightly tuned down from where he used to be – he’s still a generic, Dynastic Agent Overlord, but his +1A aura now only affects CORE. All of this is brought together by being slightly cheaper, and combined with access to powerful strats on the offence and defence there’s got to be a place for these in Novokh, where the +1″ to charges out of deep strike and the stratagem really helps. The codex contains six named Dynasties, each of which offer you a two-part Dynastic Code plus a bonus to one of the Protocols. While the nerf to Extermination Protocols stings, the fact that it still gives you full wound re-rolls means that the high-rate firepower from the gauss cannons can adapt to almost any target. The last big category we’re always looking for is mobility. With the new book in play, Necrons play pretty much how you’d expect just from looking at them. The other new toy is more of a comedy option, being a relic Tachyon Arrow. Just like with Ghaz and Exalted Bloodthirsters this means there is only ever so fast an opponent can pop one. All of these have the Dynastic Advisors special rule, allowing you to take two of them in one slot if your detachment contains a NOBLE – handy if you’re trying to squeeze in a few extras without adding another detachment. Slight price drop, gain the CORE keyword and don’t pay a premium for their Tesla, unlike Immortals. Put them together and each 6 is one auto-wound and one extra hit – spicy stuff if you’re running Mephrit especially. They’re pretty cheap and throw out damage and mortals (slightly more efficiently with increased range on the mortals and the ability to do so after advancing), That’s kind of it and they’re kind of fine – I do wonder, now that people can have lots of these, if stacking them up might turn out to be OK, especially as Szarekhan to lean on the re-rolls. Combined with being able to take bigger units of Skorpekh in the book and them picking up a discount from their Indomitus Cost, this makes them look exceptionally spicy. Enduring Will (-1D) is unchanged and Eternal Madness (re-roll melee wounds) is improved very mildly, now being always on rather than just in the first round of combat. It isn’t bad as such, with its main gun having been turbo charged to hilarious heights and having a good anti-horde secondary weapon, but my overwhelming experience of the edition thus far has been that spending 200pts on a plane is a very tough sell, especially one without an invuln to protect it. The Sempiternal Weave is our final entry, and loses out by now being limited to NOBLEs. For armies relying on shooting to clear them out, that makes killing these viciously impractical, and you need some sort of multi-phase plan. In the winner’s column, the first entry has to be the Orb of Eternity. You can activate this after an enemy unit destroys one of your characters, and at the end of the phase a Canoptek Doomstalker from your army can shoot at the unit responsible, and gets +1 to hit against that target for the rest of the game.
