  • +1 armor save.
  • Tesla Cannons now Heavy 3 +6″ range.
  • Twin Tesla Destructors now Heavy 10 +12″ range. 

As for the Overlord:

  • +1″ Movement.

  • +1 Toughness.
  • +1 Wound.

After seeing a bunch of different Necron sheets out there, it seems like the older units are consistently getting nice buffs to make them more competitive.

As for what we’ve covered above, what are your thoughts on these changes? Is the Catacomb Command Barge going to be a hot unit to take thanks to the datasheet buffs?
