Necron Update

Well Be Back!

Any Necron model, save Pariahs, that is reduced to 0 wounds or would otherwise be removed as a

casualty, is instead left on the table and immediately laid down on its side to show that it is Damaged.

Damaged Necrons are ignored for unit coherency and all other purposes. They are seen as just so much

battlefield debris.

At the start of every Necron turn, Damaged Necrons may attempt to Self-Repair. Roll a D6 for every

Necron model capable of Self-Repair. On a roll of 1-3, remove the model as normal. On a roll of 4-6, the

Necron is repaired and stands back up with 1 Wound remaining.

A Necron cannot Self-Repair if it was destroyed by a close combat attack that ignores Armor saves or

any weapon whose Strength is twice the Toughness of the Necron concerned. This may be overridden

by the abilities of a Resurrection Orb if one is in range. Additionally, the Necron may not make a self

repair roll if there are no un-Damaged Necron units of the same type, but not necessarily of the same

unit, on the battlefield.

The repaired Necron immediately rejoins its parent unit placing it within coherency, should it still be on

the table and may act as normal for the remainder of the turn. Should the unit be in close combat, the

model is placed back in coherency, but it may not contact an unengaged enemy unit and does not count

as charging.

Should a Necron become Damaged during close combat and its parent unit is subsequently caught in a

Sweeping Advance, those models caught in the Advance are removed as casualties. However, those thatwere damaged during the course of close combat are left on the table. They roll for self repair as normal

at the start of the next Necron turn and, if successful, are placed standing up in the same place that they

were Damaged. Any models that Self-Repair in this way are not a new unit and act normally for the

remainder of the game.

Necron Lords

A Necron Lord does not require another Lord to be on the battlefield to attempt to Self-Repair. If Self-

Repair is successful, they stand up with 1 Wound, not their full 3. If the Lords last wound is lost to a close

combat attack that ignores Armor saves or any weapon whose Strength is twice the Lords Toughness,

then Self-Repair may not be attempted. However, the Lord may benefit from the effects of a

Resurrection Orb as normal, even one the Lord itself is carrying. If hit by several attacks simultaneously,

assume those that do not allow Self-Repair strike before those that do.

Tomb Spyders


2/21

If a Necron model is Damaged within 12 of a Tomb Spyder, it may attempt a Self-Repair roll, even if

there are no Necrons of the same type remaining on the battlefield.

Phase Out

If, at the beginning of the Necron players turn, they have no models on the field with either the Necron

or Ctan special rules, then the remaining units are removed from the table. The army is considered to

have suffered a Wipe Out!

Gauss Weapons

Weapon Range Str AP Type

Gauss Flayer 24 4 5 Rapid Fire, Gauss

Gauss Blaster 24 5 4 Assault 2, Gauss

Gauss Cannon 36 6 4 Heavy 3, Gauss

Gauss Flux Arc 12 5 4 Heavy D6 (per target unit), Gauss

Particle Whip 24 9 3 Ordinance 1

Staff of Light 12 5 3 Assault 3, Gauss

Against troops, Gauss weapons will cause an automatic wound on a To Hit roll of 6. Saving throws apply

as normal.

Against vehicles, Gauss weapons cause an automatic Glancing hit on an Armor Penetration roll of 6,

unless they would otherwise cause a Penetrating hit.

Staff of Light:

As in Codex: Necrons.


3/21

Particle Whip:


Warscythe:


Wargear

Chronometron:

A Lord with a chronometron and any unit it has joined count as being armed with defensive grenades

and gain the Counter Attack special rule. Additionally, the Lord and its unit roll 2d6 and pick the highest

when making their Initiative test for falling back or pursuing in a sweeping advance.

Disruption Field:

During an Assault, all of the Lords attacks have the same properties as a Gauss weapon, in addition to

any other properties that might apply to the Lords attacks.

Destroyer Body:


Gaze of Flame:

Enemy units attempting to charge the Necron Lord or a unit he has joined must pass a Ld test. Should

they fail, they may not assault this turn. Additionally, for as long as the enemy unit is locked in assault

with the Lord, they suffer a -1 penalty to all Ld and Morale tests they are called upon to make.


4/21

Lightning Field:


Nightmare Shroud:

A Necron Lord may choose to use the Nightmare Shroud in the Shooting phase. It may still shoot, but

cannot run and it may still assault as normal. This ability may be activated even if the Lord is in close

combat. All enemy units with a model within 12 ofthe Lord that arent locked in close combat must

take a Morale check, suffering a penalty equal to the difference between their Leadership value and the

Leadership value of the Necron Lord. All enemy models within that range that are locked in close

combat must also pass a Ld test. Those that fail will only successfully hit on a roll of 6 in close combat

this turn.

Phase Shifter:


Phylactery:

This small device is home to a vast swarm of miniscule spider-like machines that constantly work to

repair the Lord. A Necron Lord with a phylactery and any unit he has joined benefit from the Feel No

Pain special rule. Additionally, the first time the Necron Lord is destroyed, he (and he alone) willsuccessfully self-repair on a roll of 2+ and will be returned to the battlefield with 2 wounds rather than

1. Should the Lord self-repair again after this, he will self-repair as normal.

Resurrection Orb:


Solar Pulse:

Once per game, the Solar Pulse may be activated at the start of the Necron turn. If the Night Fighting

rules are in effect, they will cease to apply during the Necron turn in which the Solar Pulse is used. If the

Night Fighting rules are not in effect, then in the following enemy turn, after the Solar Pulse is used, the

Night Fighting rules will apply to any unit firing at the Necron Lord or any unit that is fully within 12 of


5/21

the Lord. If an enemy unit cannot see the unit it wishes to target, it may choose to redirect fire at

another unit that is not affected by the Solar Pulse.

Veil of Darkness:

A Necron Lord may use a Veil of Darkness at the start of its Movement phase instead of moving

normally. The Necron Lord and up to one unit with the Necron special rule without any attached

Independent Characters within 6 of it are removed from the battlefield and are then placed back

together as a single unit anywhere on the battlefield as per the Deep Strike rules. The Veil may be used

even if enemy models are in base to base contact with the Lord or any of the Necrons that move with it,

leaving the enemy models behind. If the Lords Deep Strike movement brings it, or the unit that has

joined it, into base contact with an enemy model, then they are immediately placed into assault with

that unit. In such a case, the Lord and his unit count as charging that turn.

Silent Commander:

A Necron Lord and any unit it has joined will choose to automatically pass or fail any moral or pinning

test that they are called upon to make.

Necron:

The Pariah is considered a Necron for all purposes; however it may not attempt to self-repair with the

A Pariah has a 3+ Invulnerable save against all psychic powers. Additionally, any psyker that begins their

turn within 6 of a Pariah must make a Morale test or immediately fall back, along with any unit they are

Monolith Phalanx

You may include 1-3 Monoliths as a single Heavy Support choice. You may only take one unit of

Monoliths in a single army. A Monolith Phalanx is deployed as a single unit, but the models do not have

to be placed together and operate as independent units during the game.

Deep Strike:

A Monolith deep strikes as normal. However should it end up within 1 of an enemy model, it does not

suffer a deepstrike mishap. Instead, the enemy models are moved the minimum distance necessary to

allow the Monolith to be placed on the table with 1 of space between it and any enemy models.

Additionally, should it end up on impassible terrain or a friendly model, then reduce the scatter distance

by the minimum amount reuired to avoid the obsticle

Nightshroud:


17/21

If two or more Monoliths from the phalanx are within 24 of each other, they project a Nightshroud. A

line is traced from the center of a projecting Monolith to all other projecting Monoliths within 24. Any

shots from weapons without the Gauss special rule that trace their line of sight across one or more

Nightshrouds have their Strength reduced by one. Psychic powers cannot be targeted through the

Nightshroud.

Nodal Grid:

If all three Monoliths are projecting Nightshrouds between them, they create a Nodal Grid. The area of

the Nodal Grid is the area within the bounds of all three of the projected nightshrouds. While the grid is

in operation, all friendly Necron models within the affected area will succeed on their Well Be Back!

Aspects of the Ctan

Ctan

A Necron army may only select one Ctan. This selection takes up one of the army's HQ slots. A model

with the Ctan special rule has the following qualities-

Above all Others:

A Ctan is a Monstous Creature. A Ctan is Fearless. All friendly Necron units with a model within 12 of a

Ctan are Fearless.

Drain Life:

A Ctans close combat attacks ignore saves of any kind. Any model reduced to 0 Wounds by a Ctan may

not recover wounds in any way.


19/21

Immune to Natural Law:

Ctan ignore intervening terrain for movement and assault purposes and count as being armed with

offensive grenades.

Manifestation:


Necrodermis:

A Ctan has a 3+ Armor save, a 4+ Invulnerable save and possesses the Eternal Warrior special ability.

Should the Ctan lose all its wounds, it deals a S6 hit on all enemy models within d6 of it with no Armor

saves allowed. If a Ctan Phase sword or knife successfully hits a Ctan, it is absorbed into its body. The

Ctan suffers no damage and the weapon is lost to the attacker.
