The Necrons are really bringing some festive destruction with the Starshatter Arsenal, embracing their love for overwhelming firepower and ancient tech! The idea of them sweeping across the battlefield in anti-grav formations, obliterating anything in their path, feels so thematic—and terrifying.
Relentless Onslaught Detachment Rule
The +1 to hit rolls when targeting enemies holding objectives is a brutal incentive to punish anyone foolish enough to hunker down against the Necrons. Combined with Assault weapons on their vehicles, this force will be frighteningly mobile, laying down firepower while maintaining momentum.
Chrono-Impedance Fields & Chronoshift
The Chrono-Impedance Fields are such a clever inclusion—it’s great to see more Necron tech showcasing their mastery of time. Pairing this with Chronoshift to guarantee a 6” Advance for vehicles will really allow the Necron player to maintain pressure or redeploy critical assets as needed. Imagine Doomsday Arks and Annihilation Barges zipping across the battlefield while staying offensively potent.
Mobile Destruction Necron-Style
This detachment feels like it leans into a more dynamic and aggressive playstyle compared to the more plodding, defensive Necron archetypes we’ve seen before. The synergy between relentless firepower and hyper-mobile vehicles/mounted units will make the Starshatter Arsenal a serious threat in games.
What’s your favorite part of this detachment? Are you envisioning fast-moving Night Scythes, or do you think Ghost Arks with endless waves of Warriors will be the backbone of this style?
