It’s a battle between two of the toughest armies in 40k: Necrons and the new Death Guard! Join us at 5pm PST Friday the 15th on our Twitch Channel to see who comes out on top.
Our guest Jessica was the top Necron player at both the BAO and NOVA Open. This should be a very fun game. That Gauss Pylon will certainly give ole’ Morty something to sweat!

So good to see some actual thought put in unlike MWG by taking a warptime dude with Mortarion
I assume this is using all the new Death Gaurd stuff so I look forward to seeing how long it takes Necrons to be tabled ;p. Without any psychic defence those motral wounds will rip through and make the wraiths sad.
Cross your fingers (I will be) the Pylon can get through Morty’s Invuln save, if not this will be a very quick game.
Can’t wait to see the pylon in play.
That thing is savage!
A new codex army vs one of the lowest rated armies in the competitive scene?
I don’t see how anyone can think the Necrons have even remote chance here.
We have a guest coming in to play with her Necrons, and wanted to take a crack at the new Death Guard. The game is not meant to be an exhibition of the current meta or what have you.
totally agreed, i have a necron player as my friend and i beat him every time
Great to see a competetive Necron list being played. And as Pyrothem said, this will be Morty vs Pylon.
Yeah, Frankie is sweating the Pylon, lol
If she roll’s hot and the nurgle fail their saves motarion and the demon princes will all be dead by t3, there alot of tesla for the cultists… wraiths do die to MW, however they have a lot of wounds, 14 wraiths is 42 wounds to chew through.
I desperately hope the necrons manage to pull out a win, but it’s hard to see when up against a shiny new codex and we have a very weak index.
Fingeres crossed
There is 0 tesla in that list. The cultist will tie up the wraiths and the flying demons and morty will go through the HQs and sad troops(just warriors) like butter. Then it is a game of how long does it take Morty and Demon Ps to get through the 30 wound Pylon.
I see that by T3 the only thing that will be left is about 6 wraiths and a half dead pylon.
If the dice gods are om her side and Morty goes down T1 to the Pylon then we might have a game but that is a stretch.
3 tesla barges.
Yes, lots of small arms fire which Necrons do quite well.
The barges have guass cannons(S5 sadly) so only the three Tesla guns you can’t change in the list. With Morty those barges are T5.
Assuming Morty gets that close, of course.
With Warp Time and the no brainer of spending a CP for the extra relic “Fugaris’ Helm” Morty will have no problem turning a very large chunk of her necrons to -1T.
Turning Wraiths to T4 will make a big difference I think.
The barges main gun is Tessa, the gauss is an underslung gun.
Morty cannot have a relic.
Sweet, I will be hopping for some 6’s for those Barges (They always seem to die for me before even doing half of their cost in damage).
I am hoping for a fun game for both sides.
Sure first they rob our (necrons) supersavingthrow. Then they rob our sythes…now they rob the last Piece of dignity we have…
What?
Are you asyrious, bro?
Are you guys not doing any AoS bat reps anymore? I’ve been really looking forward to some for quite some time now!
We will, it’s just tough to fit them in right now because of the rapid pace of 40k releases. We have limited time to cover everything, so we stick to what is most prevalent each week.
Yea I can understand that. It’s just that you guys make the best AoS content by far and I just miss it :).but its nice to hear you guys havent forgotten about it completely 😛 Still apreciate all the good stuff you guys do, especially Signals from the frontline and its always nice how you respond to all the comments on here! Keep up the amazing job guys!
Thank you for the kind words, sir =)
Sad day it looks like Typhus went up in points in the codex.
I quite enjoyed how ludicrously undercosted he was considering he was cheaper than a Lord of Contagion but literally just a better carbon copy 🙂
Is one of those Demon Princes getting “The Suppurating Plate” Relic?
Yes
DEEP. STRIKE. AdMech priests.
That one should really compete with Mars.
So much you can do with that.
Morty vs pylon. Wonder what the los blocking terrain will look like.
If there is too much Terrian and Death Guard goes first with all the flying and mass amount of bodies they might be able to deny the Pylon from deep striking in at all!
Maybe she plans to use tesla and small arms gauss fire to clear the cultists, advance with the wraiths and move up warriors to try to eat the smites, then use wraiths to take out the sorcerer and clear the mid field, all the while hammering Morty, DP and Typhus with the pylon. And in the mid- and end game have the barges jump on objectives and help take down bigger remaining targets with the gauss cannon
I’ll be at work 🙁
Will you be posting the video afterwards?
When will the replay of this be? I want to feel depressed about my Necrons 🙁
No work for me today although we have a gigantic hail-storm over us atm. Imagine the coziness of watching a batrep with the sound of a hailstorm outside. 🙂
DANG, Francis just got owned!! Cant believe he let Morty die… I think it wasn’t the real Morty, just someone cosplaying in the army I bet
Franky did indeed throw Morty away. The Pylon only got 6 wounds on him the rest of it was from putting Morty into rapidfire range for no real strategic reason. Although if the game went on to turn 6 or 7 he would have tabled the Necrons so I would not say he got owned.
What I take away from this game as a Necron player is to stop trying to make Reanimation Protocol a main part of a list and keep HQ as cheap as you can. Keep troops as just a screen and for getting CP’s not as a force to use and no named characters. Jessica is one of the best Necron players and she brought the Hardest Necron list that got to 51st at Nova so I will try like her to make Necrons work without RP.
She ended up placing 22nd after the bracket pairings.
How did the pylon only do 6 wounds to him? Isn’t the minimum the macro weapon does to a titanic character 14 wounds. That is a lot of DR saves.
He’s not titanic.
Morty should have died sooner, the pylon whiffed.
Now a much more interesting batrep would have been without a pylon or similar monsterous contraption as a morty counter or sw/sm without a missile spam gunline.
I missed this match, is there anyway to see it now?
