Something new and unique instead of handing out more melta.<br /><br />Also, dealing with armor seems to be the biggest problem the current necrons run into. this seems a surprisingly elegant solution to that issue without having to introduce a new tank hunting unit. And being a fast attack choice, it won't take up slots needed for the stuff that will actually be punching armor.<br /><br />I don't play necrons, but it sounds like something that should be fun to play against. <br /><br />and maybe those razorspam armies (and similar) will start taking a special weapon other than meltaguns! we may actually see flamers againmuffinmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06874382541912694188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-69459647320717379332011-08-19T12:21:21.059-05:002011-08-19T12:21:21.059-05:00I like the new armor reducing rule.

That is stupidly good. My dark eldar don't care but this makes me EVEN MORE glad I sold my tyranids. Why does evey single new codex have to bone tyranids so hard?

Given they're probably S3, anything they wound they'll ignore armor on. With the amount of attacks in a standard swarm squad, that's hefty.<br /><br />Ex: 10 Scarabs vs 10 Tac Marines (outside of a Rhino). Neither side charges. 12 Marine attacks, 8 hit, ~5-6 wound, maybe a base dies and a wound on another best case.<br /><br />9 Scarabs strike back. Assuming standard 3 attacks each, hitting on 4s, ~14-15 hits. ~4-5 wounds, which ignore armor. The scarabs do just as many wounds back to the Marines, but there's still 9 bases as opposed to 5-6 marines left. That's scary.tzeentchlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886812068265076783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-1986183443579159042011-08-18T14:50:02.881-05:002011-08-18T14:50:02.881-05:00When Necrons were first released Scarabs had a sim...When Necrons were first released Scarabs had a similar rule to reduce armor. This was a cool part of their fluff that a lot of people were bummed about when they released the codex. If I remember correctly I think you lost a scarab when you did it though because they attached themselves to the hull.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279670699731739002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-58115512072965957042011-08-18T12:34:02.463-05:002011-08-18T12:34:02.463-05:00It will make them practically unplayable in a mult...It will make them practically unplayable in a multiplayer game though, given the current information.

A Predator reduced to AV11 on the front is still requiring Warriors to glance it at best and Destroyers now have a 1 in 6 chance to pen. It will make Heavy Destroyers a more considered choice though.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437070475561268098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-12154139221501891362011-08-18T09:39:35.255-05:002011-08-18T09:39:35.255-05:00Plus remember that Scarabs can only attack in CC, ...Plus remember that Scarabs can only attack in CC, and their Init is much lower than most of the things that rule will kill, so they're more than likely going to die first and only a small handful of models are going to actually do damage.Gauthichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037324467263090784noreply@blogger.com
