Need to pull the new codex still but the Necron updates seem good, especially moving the C'Tan out of the heavy hitter section.
I take it that update 3 should read '... from 2 Monolith for...'?!

Now if the spaceship would have come down in points...

where can I get me some lynxes

Yep, looks a very positive update for the Yme-loc on the whole

Not sure what to make of the Necron changes overall yet, nice to see a unit of wraiths to try out, but curious to see how much of a difference the reduction in the number of immortals in a unit will make to their ability to take on more challenging assault units, which were already a bit touch and go!

Right, after having pulled the Necron codex:

The Monolith upgrade still feels good, for a nerf.

Immortals did not just become more expensive, the codex comments forget to mention that their actual number has been cut. Now i got 3 Immortal bases that i can't use till i physically buy a 4th infantry phalanx.

Very much looking forward to fielding a C'Tan more often!
Not that it helps in any way with its bullseye

Better CC on the Tomb Spider is nice, though i don't see why it would make me play it more.
Except for the same reason as before, to push a phalanx into single BTS territory.

I need to commission painting for a single Wraith base to make a formation of 4, haha *cry a little

On a different note, i dare say that the codex update overall shows the same pattern like previous nerfs.
Certain units or formations that where too good got weakened without really opening up other list options for players to explore. An elite (though fast) CC formations, a CC buff of the Tomb Spider and making a supreme commander WE not part of 1/3 section just won't make for a new build.

Having said that, i look forward to play my Necrons just as much as before!
Which is way better then last time one of my armies got updated, hehe

Last but not least, thanks to team EpicUK for their continuous efforts! *thumb up

Just a quick one on the Necron list, Wraiths are still listed as possible upgrades for some of the formations, but there is no option for wraiths in the upgrades section anymore.

Flo don't think this is actually much of a nerf bat. By way of example Richard's Necron list of horror is still pretty much viable. You just sub flayed ones for heavy destroyers and lose a few immortals but maybe add a pariah or 2.

That is a quick ref error, Wraith upgrade is removed and replaced by Maniple. Thanks for the spot. Codex is correct

A nerf is a nerf.
I agree though, the current Necron lists (if there are even more then 1.5) don't really change.
But that is what i said.

Definitely improvements for yme loc, addresses some of the fundamental issues that made it so unworkable.
