Necron Overlord & Command Barge New 40k Rules SPOTTED
This is one of those kits that have an Overlord in it to make the Command Barge. However, you can also build an Overlord on foot and an Annihilation Barge (Heavy Support) if you’d rather.
Now let’s jump into the stats.
The Hobby Products & Tools We Swear By
The Annihilation Barge got:
- +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 Attack.
The Catacomb Command Barge (using the Overlord in the kit) got some pretty crazy buffs:
- +1 Toughness.
- +1 Wound.
- +1 Attack.
- Tesla Cannons now Heavy 3 +6″ range.
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?
