Relkin9 Faeruithir Liberi Glacialis Course, my brother's Grey Knight-heavy Daemon Hunters army can do the same with Incinerators....but we're not going there sweatdrop Ouch. That sounds like it would only end in tears. Quote: a friend of mine has (in his stupidity, i think) figured out the only reliable way to take out a C'Tan, at least in his opintion. Snipers. Why he did this, we'll never know, but he thinks snipers are the only way to take them out reliably I've run into this kind of thing before too. Luckily my friend thinks to little of rattlings to include them in his IG army. I think the truth of the matter is that GW overlooked this "glitch" if you will. Think about it: how is it remotely possible for a puny, mortal with a rifle to take down the living embodiment of a star god? But, as far as gameplay goes, snipers really are devistating. Just get a squad of 10 snipers to focus on the Nightbringer for one turn, and POW! Thats the sound of your Nightbringer poping like a balloon at a 6-year olds birthday party. Actually, think about what would happen if ALL your troops choices were scouts with sniper rifles. I have heard of A few armies like that, and do not want to fight them, EVER. sweatdrop you just have to get to them....really, really fast.

Cannot do so. You have to have at least one squad deployed, and I would not be stupid enough to let you deep strike that monolith without having something capable of taking it out.

I just skimmed the posts, so I'm not sure if this was addressed yet...
Are there any Necron players for Battle Fleet Gothic here? What's your best combination of ships in battles, and who do you have the most trouble against? What things have worked on you and vice versa?

I don't know the rules, and I think it's just one more way GW tries to get more money out of you.

Well, battlefleet gothic is A good game, just somewhat less played than 40K or fantasy. It is currently rather pointless, but in the future, I think it will be better. xd

i thought as much. i think i heard that they only have like two or three kinds of ships, which isn't suprising when you think about they way their army is set up. heh, necrons don't specialize, they just get the job done.
