Games Workshop - Warhammer 40K: Necrons Dice Set

Product Information

Out of the four core rosters, the Eldar received the fewest new options by far at only two light cruisers and a battleship. A unique weapon option is the Impaler module – a modified, much heavier version of a short-ranged assault boat. Finally, the best rule of all is that enemy vessels when boarded by Tyranids may elect to detonate their drives rather than face down the Genestealers rampaging through the ship – a random roll will determine whether the ship goes semi or supernova which can then take a cluster of Tyranid vessels with it if you’re not careful. Having now awoken, still angry, they are seeking to overthrow all of the kids that have come to play on their lawn. Essentially the mimic engines disguise the Dark Eldar vessels on opposing fleet screens by imitating their own race’s vessels – enemy fleets being unable to detect the deception until its too late.

It may also launch 2d6 torpedo salvoes on the prow and beams which can be devastating if it finds itself close in to your fleet. Their presence in BFG is via the totally-not-an-egg, egg-like Kroot Warsphere which is also the only Tau vessel that has a Warp Drive. Tyranid weapon batteries are represented by pyro-acid batteries that act normal except any critical hit result inflicts an automatic Fire result in addition to any other critical results.The other two additions to the Chaos roster are a couple of Grand Cruisers of the same era as the Imperial counterparts.

Unfortunately, Hulks have a very low leadership of 6 by default and upgrades from Warbosses or Meks come with an increased cost. movement, or leadership results from many forms of celestial phenomena, and makes critical repairs on a 4+ per hull point vice the usual 6. They were one-dimensional raider fleets without any strong basis for building a narrative story around, lacking both a deep roster and battleships that could anchor a battlefleet. He comes in at a whopping 195 points but carries a leadership value of 10 and allows a single re-roll each turn.Sigh– I’m not going to lie to you, I do not have the energy or will to talk about the Tau Merchant fleets. Beyond the movement differences, the Dark Eldar benefit from some neat little tricks – perhaps the most prominent being the Mimic Engine. The Shroud is true Light Cruiser with only four hullpoints with a 5+ shield save (though a 6+ armor) and a ‘light’ armament of 10-strength batteries. At 380 points it is not a cheap battleship, and it suffers all the drawbacks of the rest of the Corsair list – low hull points (comparable to an Imperial Grand Cruiser) paper thin armor, and easy criticals (the typical 4+) that can be a serious detriment if you can pin it down.

It’s startling how fast they can end up in the middle of your formation dropping lightning arc barrages and teleporting metal men into the passageways of your vessel. Fielding a few squadrons of these guys is therefore the go to choice for any Chapter Master who wants to ruffle some naval feathers. Scythes and Tomb Ship will also carry Star Pulse Generators which can generate a single attack against every enemy vessel or ordnance marker within 20cm and ignores holofields/shadowfields.

The Dark Eldar are depraved slavers and murderers who constantly seek to substitute their own doom at the hand of Slaanesh with that of others. While Heretic Astartes make use of the regular Chaos fleets to which they’ve had access since the days of the Great Crusade, Imperial Marines post-Heresy were given fleets designed with one primary purpose in mind: planetary assaults.

Finally, each ship can can be provided with a mimic engine that provides the fleet with a first strike advantage. The Necrons are one of the most ancient civilizations in the galaxy and in their time they have thrown an epic, truly timeless tantrum, sacrificed their living flesh, and in most cases their consciousness, for eternal metal husks then took a big grandpa nap. Almost exactly like the Imperial fleet except they cant do hit-and-run attacks and are at half-strength for boarding actions. the fleet as a whole won’t have the heft and endurance of the Imperial Navy, nor does it enjoy the same flexibility.Given that one cruiser transports up to a company of marines, it’d be a bit weird if a chapter had more than 10 cruisers, and besides, ten cruisers would be 1,450pts of cruiser, which in the average game leaves no room for barges and escorts. In the lore, these things rarely have more than a single squad of marines on board, overseeing the human crew and gently expressing themselves all over anyone foolish enough to board it. Loyalist Astartes fleets in BFG are extremely thematic: they’re disciplined, manoeuverable, punchy, and excel in planetary assaults, boarding actions and hit and run attacks.
