GW Reveals New 9th Edition Necron 40k Indomitus Box Rules!

Along with the face-off we got official pics of stats sheets of the participants. With that in mind lets take a look at the Necrons side.

Necron Warriors

Warriors have the same basic statline as before but are coming equipped with a new weapon. The new Gauss Reaper is only 14″ max range, however, at S5 and -2 AP, if you’re running a fast melee list, these dudes will be a great supporting fire option to keep closeby.

Their Number is Legion lets them reroll 1’s for reanimation protocols as well. Pairing Warriors with the Canoptek Reanimator, you could be getting more models back from the dead than ever before.

Canoptek Scarab Swarms

Scarabs are still super fast and can have up to six models in a unit. Getting 4 Attacks apiece, you’ll be fishing for 6’s to hit as they auto-wound no matter the toughness.

Skorpekh Destroyers

Skorpekh Destroyers are going to be the Necron hotness in the days ahead. The leader of the unit is coming with the Hyperphase Reap-blade that’ll be a S7 3-damage wrecker. The other models in the unit will come with the slightly weaker Hyperphase Threshers, however, you do get an additional attack with the weapon. Overall, all their wargear is multi-damage which is fantastic.

You can take a Plasmacyte, who will inject its Necron goods into the plating of the Destroyers unit giving them +1 Strength and Attack.

In total, one unit of three could have up to 8 multi-damage attacks at S9/S6 while rolling 1’s to hit by themselves. Plus, with an 8″ movement, these dudes will be deceptively quick on the battlefield.

Overlord

Overlords now come with a standard-issue Tachyon arrow, which is a once per game S12 shot that is perfect for punching through armor. Even a list with three Overlords can take down something like a Leman Russ in the shooting phase. Plus, with 120″ range, they are relevant anywhere on the battlefield.

Another thing to note is that My Will Be Done is a 9″ aura and only adds 1 to the hit roll either in shooting or melee. You have to declare this ability in your Command Phase and this lasts until the start of your next Command Phase.

Relentless March is a new rule that is the second half of the old My Will Be Done rule. However, it’s only a 6″ aura.

Skorpekh Lord

The Skorpekh Lord is the character version of the Skorpekh Destroyers. Looking at his statline, he is one chunky boy you do not want to stumble across. Even though he’s one thick lad, you still can’t target him under normal conditions because he’s not been put over that 10-wound hump (if that is even a thing anymore). That means he can be a nearly-untargetable T6 wrecking ball that can comfortably move right up to your front line.

As for his weapons, the Enmitic Annihilator leaves something to be desired. The Hyperphase Harvester is definitely the better weapons for killing Primaris or chipping wounds off of armor as it’s basically a thunder hammer profile with an extra AP. Meanwhile, the Flensing Claw is designed to help keep this guy from getting bogged down by fearless screens.

He’s coming with a 4++ invuln and a reroll 1 rule (for himself only). But for his Destroyer keyword friends closeby, he’ll be acting as a Lieutenant.

Which of the face-off Necrons are you most excited for? Are you more excited for other units? Or are you just waiting for your army’s chance to shine in the 9th edition?
