GK vs Necrons

[Korhil]

Thanks to all for feedback.
Damn, I didn't remember about Instant Death
Yeah, Scarabs can Go to Ground and take cover if a player remembers to do so/knows he should do it. And he not always does
That clears some things up.

So do you think it's worth to attack with Strike Squads for instance Necron Warriors or Immortals in Close Combat? Or try to outshoot them?
And what about those Lychguard? They can be devastating if they charge my Termies. If not, it's easy. But I won't always be able to Warp Rift and charge them first...

Bait and move. Deploy your guys outside of the transports so they can remove any pesky scarabs asap and use the longer ranged weaponry to start chipping away at the Warriors. Hopefully they'll get pissed off from taking damage and move closer. You then move away and keep firing. They move nearer, and eventually they'll get you, but it'll be too late. Shoot, assault, win.

Lychguard aren't as good in CC as terminators

If they are warscythes, they have no invul save so you will cut them down.
If they are sword + shield, they have 5 str which is decent, but only a 4+ invul. I guess I keep comparing them to storm shield / thunder hammer terminators and in that comparison, there is no comparison. TH/SS Termies will win. I'd say they're easy enough to bring down with firepower.

Lychguard are Initiative 2, unless you have a Hammer, you're striking first anyways...Against Wraiths with Whip Coils, you're still Initiative 1...Don't know where/why you're insisting your right?

No you are still Initiative 3 with Halberds as the wraiths with whip cant take away your +2 from your weapon as stated in the FAQ for Grey Knights

If you want to tailor ()to beat Necrons, take Meltavets (Henchmen with Meltas), the silly grenades of choice, and take Stormravens with Meltas/Lascannons.

Not to say the typical thing GKs usually do well works, but you seem to want to be silly like that

just FYI

Au Contraire, I think Lychguard > TH/SS Termies. But my thoughts on GK vs Crons: CC more than shoot, you don't have to change your list much at all

...Against Wraiths with Whip Coils, you're still Initiative 1...

The newest faq releases changed this. Now you'd at least be Initiative 3. Correct when you said it.

Smelly necrons!

How I loathe them. My first game ever I got slaughtered guarding a point. (Lucky as rolls on her part mind) The fecking Arc is annoying.

Yep I agree. Depending on who gets the charge and what is attached to support the unit (ms lord, orb, etc) determines who wins.
