A rather quick and brutal game due to some poor dice for the Necrons. We ended up calling it at the end of the second as Matt A. had lost a Phalanx, C'Tan and Pylon, and had his BTS, another Phalanx and Venerator broken off-board.

Start of Game

Image
A Monolith Maniple teleports in near the middle of the board.

Image
And on the right flank.

Image
And left.

Image
The Annihilators advance and take out an Obelisk, breaking the Maniple on the right flank. It doubles out near the Scouts.

Image
The Land Speeders retain and double, taking out a Monolith.

Image
A Phalanx engages out of the Monolith, taking a loss from Scout overwatch.

Image
The Scouts amazingly pull off a win for the loss of a stand and a Rhino, the Phalanx withdraws off board.

Image
A Pylon attempts to retain and fails, it regroups.

Image
The Devastators advance and fail to do anything to the broken Maniple.

Image
A Maniple attempts to double and fails, it regroups.

Image
The Destructors double and manage to take out a Monolith in the broken Maniple.

Image
The Pylon lays a BM on the Scouts.

Image
A Phalanx engages out of the center Maniple, the Scouts use their Overwatch.

Image
After round one nothing's dead.

Image
It goes to round two...

Image
The Scouts die horrendously and a Rhino runs away.

Image
The Whirlwinds take out the lord and two Warriors.

Image
The Vindicators break them.

Image
The last Maniple doubles and lays a BM on the Tacticals.

Image
The Bikes march to engage next turn.

Image
The BTS comes out and takes out an Attack Bike.

Image
The Tacticals doucbe on the broken Phalanx and take out one, hacking down two.

Image
The Flayed ones engage the Tacticals.

Image
One to one...

Image
And it goes to a second round.

Image
The Tacticals pull off a win (one Flayed one made it off board) for the loss of four stands.

Image
The Supreme Commander doubles and takes out a Warrior, completely destroying the broken Phalanx.

Turn 2

Image
A Obelisk teleports in to be annoying.

Image
And the Nightbringer comes in as well.

Image
The Annihilators advance away form the Nightbringer and lay a BM on the center Maniple. The Destructors do the same...

Image
And take out two Warriors in the open.

Image
The Maniple on the left flank doubles and lays a BM on the Supeme Commander.

Image
The Phalanx off board fails to retain and engage the SC with a reroll.

Image
The Land Speeders advance and break the BTS which withdraws offboard.

Image
The Bikes engage the Pylon and score two hits, taking it out.

Image
The Nightbringer engages the Scouts.

Image
Who take it out with a crit, for the loss of a stand.

Image
End of Game

Image
End of Game

jeez, what a disaster! I think I would have focused on one flank to peel the onion (or held off until turn 2). Matt also didn't take as much advantage (when he could, obviously) of the double-shoot-assault-support-disappear Necron trick and leaving Phalanxes out in the open after an assault is an invitation to get them killed.

But wow, those rolls were terrible, poor sod. When I saw the nightbringer come in, his targets run away (as per usual) and then get taken down by some scouts, I nearly cried. Note to Matt, don't bring a nightbringer, it sucks. Try a warbarque instead, much more useful.

You can blame my Speeders for denying the consolidate off trick. They killed a Monolith and he only had one portal open in the middle by the time he engaged out of it with a Phalanx.

I think the Nightbringer's pretty scary IF you let him engage you. More often than not that relies on you getting SR, so unless you're playing against IG/Orks he's just going to be left twiddling his thumbs somewhere. Matt B. has pretty much used him as a Blitz grab in the games I've played against him, cowering behind buildings and rubble like the living god that he is.

Isn't this the same Matt who won the 2011 Adepticon Epic Armageddon Challenge WITH the Necrons? Definitely the bad rolls in this game is what did him in by the looks of it.

Can I ask what you have on that handy little reference sheet I saw? And is the file online? Got a couple of newbies that may appreciate such a thing :)

That is Dave's epic tool :P
He put it together himself and printed it out on card board. I'm sure he'll send it to you on request.

Yep, same Matt EBB. After the game he said that Marines are the only army that've given him trouble with the Necrons. After the VASSAL games I've had with Matt the Muppet (yes another one) my Mobile Castle Formation of Doom (+2) has seen a lot of practice.

Multi-quote GO!

The A4 Sheet? I did know, as I pm'd them here asking for permission to add it to the epic-uk site, and I can't remember what happened to that request!

Good batrep. The Nightbringer will be getting some love with a walker ability soon.
