Rant Session
Tactics Corner
Rules Lawyer
- I’ve come up with a Rules Lawyer issue that can make Necrons extremely cheesy.First off, Chariots and Necron Overlords now combine to be 1 single unit with 2 profiles (once they join, they cannot separate). Here, the argument is that because the Overlord is an IC, the combined Chariot/Overlord unit retains the Overlord’s IC status.
Therefore, imagine this. Overlord on CCB joins a unit of wraiths and act as an AV13 tank for them against small-arms fire! True…or too cheesy to even consider?
BTW, it was FAQ’d in the Daemon codex that Heralds lose their IC status when they take a chariot. However, there is no such FAQ for the Overlord+CCB combo.
List Review
This is a list I plan on taking to a wacky non competitive “tournament” and would really appreciate your advice on it!

Troops:
Veteran Squad-90- 3x Melta guns

Heavy Support:

This leaves me with 10 points left. What are your suggestions for changes or tweaks etc? The main idea is a lot of heavy armour (obviously).
