Maybe, maybe not. But they are certainly capable of making the traditional "top tier" lists give a lot more thought to their play.Timbernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-41258532697403640072011-12-14T11:02:53.344-06:002011-12-14T11:02:53.344-06:00MVB: Doh!

The opinion of one or two among very many top tier competitive gamers isn't really a consensus.<br /><br />Necron are Top Tier; they give fits most especially to your typical grey knight builds (especially psyfledread/psyback spam), and don't really struggle with guard or the like either.<br /><br />There are plenty of things in the Necron dex that aren't any good, but ... the best Necron builds you can put together are very well matched against the top IG/SW/GK builds ... so, you go on with your bad self, but unless you think they're just "ok competitive" you're AMONG the consensus of folks that see them as capable of tackling just about anyone.Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-19181059947278134032011-12-14T08:02:49.607-06:002011-12-14T08:02:49.607-06:00Well said and I completely agree, as did damn near...Well said and I completely agree, as did damn near everyone who voted on the poll I ran on my blog about it.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437070475561268098noreply@blogger.com
