Here are all the new 40k rules datasheets for the Necron Character models that are coming inside the Indomitus Box Set!
Spotted on Reddit, there has been a massive dump of both Necron and Primaris hotness for 9th Edition. With that said, here’s a closer look at all the Necron characters that’ll be coming inside the new Box Set.
In case you missed it, here’s the list of character and non-character Primaris datasheets coming alongside the Necrons as well.
New 9th Edition Necron Character 40k Rules REVEALED
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.
Plasmancer
The Plasmancer is a new Cryptek model that has no torso. Looking at his profile, he’s got a decent statline but with one attack and a 4+ Save, don’t ever let this guy see melee. His lance is pretty sweet in shooting and can be useful on just about any target. There’s some kind of aura on this dude that lets him do a Mortal Wound to everyone within 6″ is cool, but not why you’d take him.
Harbinger of Destruction is a slightly better rule than the “… Lightning” rule. You can potentially do 3 Mortal Wounds to something within 18″. It’s basically the army’s way of having a D3 Mortal Wound mechanic similar to smite.
Royal Warden
The Royal Warden is looking to be a solid T5 backbone character to seed into the ranks of your blobs of Warriors and Immortals. He’s got a solid four-shot 2-damage gun up close and will let your dudes around him become extra slippery in-game.
Adaptive Strategy has a 9″ aura and lets a unit fall back to shoot and charge later that turn. This is essentially the Raven Guard’s Chapter Litany (which can only go off on a 3+). However, this guy does it for free and has a 9″ range. Big Pimpin.
Overall, the Necron character package inside of the Indomitus Box Set is looking like a heavy buff to the characters at our disposal currently.
