Edit: I stand corrected, as Resurrection Orbs resurrect, which activates reanimation protocols, which is "Healing"; it still doesn't affect Characters. Resurrect just seems to be a new keyword (for me anyway) to specify you cannot resurrect a unit more than once per turn.

Edit2: 01.02.03 does seem to specify resurrecting and does specifiy leaders and support units can be revived, so I suppose they are resurrected with 0 wounds and THEN reanimation protocols activate on them.

Am I correct in thinking the following:
A Character can reanimate a destroyed bodyguard unit.
A bodyguard unit cannot reanimate a destroyed character.
A Character with a resurrection orb can resurrect a destroyed Leader/Support Character.

A leader only becomes a separate unit when revived using Protocol of the Eternal Revenant stratagem.

A Catacomb Command Barge can use its resurrection orb on a unit with a destroyed Character to "resurrect" an overlord, for example:

1. Your opponent uses precision and kills a leader.
2. You use the resurrection orb on the unit to resurrect the leader at the end of the shooting/fight phase.
3. The leader then activates reanimation protocols and heals in your command phase.

Say, for example, you have a block of warriors with a Support and Leader character; both are precisioned and destroyed. CCB uses its RO; you resurrect your Overlord; Overlord uses its RO; you resurrect your support character.

Pretty hard to pull off, as you would need the bodyguard unit to be at full strength before you can resurrect the leader/support characters, but possible.

Before starting, I don’t think this puts us in a bad spot or that it’s the end of Necrons as an army I just think GW’s approach to handling Necrons has been lazy and dumb.

We’re sitting somewhere between 4th-7th best army right now, and we just ate 8 points increases plus some weirdly targeted hits Tesseract Vault and Doomsday Ark nerfs came out of nowhere and weren’t asked for.
Awakened Dynasty losing precision protection guts half its use case, and our leaders are already super squishy. Meanwhile some top-tier armies barely got touched this round.
This is the pattern with Necrons: C’tan too strong? Exclude them from every detachment ability and strat. Awakened too strong? Nerf something that’s been core to the army all of 10th. If GW can’t design a working archetype, stop handing us gimmicks you’re not willing to actually balance.
Salty take, but it feels like we’re getting punished because some players don’t know how to play against a few big units and are the loudest about it while genuinely oppressive armies get a pass because they’re just marine bodies in different colors.

Ps: My C’tans ❤️

Is this a good list for awakened dynasty? Its usually me and my friends who play adeptus sororitas and aeldari. I already own a majority of it.

I got the combat patrol a pack of cantopek wraiths a technomancer a hexmark destroyer and illuminor szeras and the app says it's 2000 POINTS!?! Did i do something wrong

I have not shout the Battleforce yet but I am thinking about buying it and getting some models I thought looked cool.

I see people are taking Overlord w/ Shroud + Lychguard to auto advance 6" and then use the Driven to butchery strat to charge. I am debating doing something similar with the Chronomancer w/ the Chronometron ability, but would the same strat override the abilities restriction on charging that turn?

My interpretation of the rules now, where necrons army rule has been changed to mean "heal", means that we can no longer bring models back (the army rule example is the same old text).

Someone please explain to me why I'm wrong.

edit Thanks all for clarifying. I needed to read the rules under HEAL more closely. I will leave this up just in case anyone else gets caught out skimming rules like me.

Did I miss something? I see plenty of comments about how great murdermind is now that they are changed to support. The old Enhancement called out that they were allowed to join Destroyers with it, but the new version lacks that and is leaving me confused. Thanks in advance!

Edit: thanks to help I've now found where it states the new supports in the MFM detachments section. Thanks again!

Been painting for a few years now. Main armies are Orks and Death Guard, but wanted to try something new for 11th.
Not going for any particular dynasty(at least I don’t think, I’m not too deep into lore). Just a dark gold skeleton with red and grey accents. Pink weapons was the big thing for me, I wanted to paint bright glowy pink weapons. Doing a thing where they’re all emerging from an underground tomb.

Basic recipe is:
* prime black
* drybrush with Warpaints Heavy Metal, then Death Metal, the. A light drybrush of Bright Gold.
* Leadbelcher for the other metallic bits
* Mephiston red for the plates.
* for the weapons Doomfire magenta over Corax White, followed by another CW highlight and then globs of Power Node Glow.
* base painted green, then applied Mordant Earth for the cracked earth look.

I’m quite happy with how they turned out, and I can’t wait to get this paintjob on bigger units. I have my eye on two Doomstalkers next!

C+C welcome!

I’m tweaking list after balance dataslate and I’m considering 10 flayed ones. I run cursed legions so Purge the Foe disposition. Flayed ones are great cause infiltrators, but maybe taking unit of 10 is actually good?
They are cheaper per model (55 per 5 or 100 per 10, so 45points extra) and maybe could actually survive?
In purge it’s better to have fewer but tougher units.
Idk. Should I just write them off as a first turn infiltration or try to make them do something more later? What are your thoughts? (Picture for attention)

Hello fellow scarab lovers,

I'm currently stuck on what basing theme to choose for my models. I provided some pictures of my models (still WIP) to give you a sense of my theme.

I have also provided some pictures of what I think I would like my bases to look like, but would love some advice on what fits better. If you have another idea that isn't too much work (looking at you full forest bases) I would love to hear it too.

Edit: Grammar

It started as a painting challenge. A checkerboard. A touch of chromatic aberration. An illusion.
One square became hundreds, each demanding the next until I could no longer tell whether I was painting the pattern... or the pattern was painting me.

Now the colors refuse to stay still. The edges breathe.
I can't tell if the model is out of focus...
...or if m̵̱̚y̶͙̿ ̵͔͝m̴̹̿ḯ̷͎ǹ̶̠d̷͓̓ has simply forgotten what reality is supposed to look like."
I finished the miniature...
...but I'm not convinced i̸̫̓t̶͉͋ ̷͍̕l̶̮̚e̶̞͋t̶̝̾ ̵̺̾m̷̼̕ë̴̬́ ̷̩͂g̸͚͗o̷͛͜.

[Thanks everyone for being part of my maddening adventure, now I'll retreat back into the stasis chamber until next time, when my mad mind will be useful once again]

BEST: Pinning units from mid-range to penalize their movement and charge distance. Tremorglaive has a [Melta] profile for anti-armor, a [Torrent] profile to deal with light infantry, and packs a punch in melee (despite only 2 attacks). Can scout alongside its fellow Macrocytes. 12" aura of ingress denial makes it not a bad strike denier while sitting in your deployment zone.

WORST: Actual fighting & shooting accuracy is very mid, and has no support abilities that directly benefit any of the units it can support. One of several Crypteks with no Invuln save, making it easy pickings for sniper units without the aid of Cryptothrall bodyguards. Overall performance outside of Kill Team not worth the 75 pt price tag.

RECOMMENDED DETACHMENT(S): Awakened Dynasty, Canoptek Court, Cursed Legion (can take Murdermind enhancement), Cryptek Conclave, Hand of the Dynasty

Your thoughts about this Best & Worst? What changes (if any) do you hope to see for this model & datasheet for a future 11th edition codex?

Finally finished the Canoptek Doomstalker, bringing the Combat Patrol to completion.

Its about time like damn…

Hey just finished this absolute beauty now im moving onto the ghost ark \ doomsday ark let me know which one you guys like more and i think i might do that one.

Appologies for the bad lighting, t'was 4:30 when images were taken. Please ignore the background junk.

Howdy yall id like yall to meet Phaul (the h is silent). Hes the friendliest necron warrior. He had a tragic accident with his left arm (Cat). But his loving overlord had an extra arm to replace it with. He might not be the most accurate necron but sure is the friendliest.
