Ok, guys.
I've posted about these some time ago on the EA playtester's forum, though they seem to have passed almost unnoticed.
There are 3 unofficial army lists, that I'd like you to check out. These are: Necrons v 1.4, Sisters of Battle v 1.2, and, though not necessarily important, the Kroot Mercenaries v 1.1 . The Kroot are more of a side-effect, done mainly to kill time, but you may use them both as an army of their own adn as mercenaries, as fragment of another army.
The Necron list is the very first one I started, this is 5th version, much improved over the time. Follows the Codex:Necrons very closely.
Oh, and but one question: What stats would you give Necron "Scorpion" unit in Epic? It's going to be similar to a Tomb Spyder, but ground based, without enchancing the Necron self-repair, but with a heavy punch- one Gauss or even Heavy Gauss cannon is a must. Maybe some more weapons too. It will have claws as Spyder does. Maybe also what stats would you give the War Engine based on very similar concept, probably with Particle Whip or Beam instead of Heavy Gauss.
Sisters of Battle are a niche army, but quite fun to play. You cannot shoot enemy apart like Marines do, neither make a furious close quarters charge like the Tyranids. They are not numerous as Orks, but not too powerful as well. You have to balance your tactics and use each unit in complex plan. And you still have some good troops, say Seraphim who are somewhat equal or even better than Assault Marines, and for less points! Or Exorcist: D6 Krak missiles. That's risky. You can roll 1 missile. But you can also roll 6. A formation of 4 of these babies can shoot anywhere from 4 to 24 missiles in a turn. Ouch. 24 Krak Missiles really hurt. With Indirect Fire, not Artillery. I did not want to copy a Whirlwind too close. It's a big gamble, but worth it's points.
They are all for download on the adress: groups.yahoo.com/group/epica
And, thanks to the CyberShadow, the Necron and SoB lists are going to appear on his website too. Thanks once again, Shadow.
Anyway: please post your coments on this thread as much as you like to, and do not spare any harsh opinions. These lists ar made for you, after all.
"The Vaul-moon shall bring forth the Dragon
The Master of Death will drink deep from Isha's Eye
That Which Lies Outside will be drawn to harvest
And the Jackal-God shall turn brother against brother.
The Four shall take place amongst the stars,
Their Legions ascendant, unstoppable as the night"
A joke:
"-How do you call a Necron army?
-
-Basically, as far as I know, a group of Necrons is called a Threat"
Got it? Threat. Heh, Heh...
First was my stormboyz against assault marines. Both were unhurt, and the stormboyz did okay (killing three to the marines two) However, I failed to remember supporting fire, and a nearby tac unit shot the rest of the Stormboyz to simitherines.
