So one thing i have been blabbing about on in the CSm armyare Necron Machine Cults. If you have been thinking me crazy or have no idea what I was talking about then here we go.
First off what are Machine Cults? Well we all know techmarimes love machines and they dedicate their lives to the " Omnissiah" now there is SUBSTANTIAL evidence thay some believe the Omnissiah is actually the Ctan god the Void Dragon. In fact quite a so knowing that we can conclude that it is possible some techmarines and workers may believe this. Here is an i.teresting article about the Cult of the Dragon

Hmm. Quite a bit here.
Then in the book Dead Men Walking, some people go insane and claim the Necrons to be iron gods and they fight for them. Whilr it is unknown how the necrons felt about this its still very interesting. So where am I going with this?
Necrons and CSM can be allies of convience. So in 1 troop i can take 35 cultistsn Then by taking a Warpsmith, which will be proxied as a Dark apotle( still deciding) then unlock another 35 cultists. This will give me plenty of man power to hold objectives while my arriors kill everything else. I find this a very fun in termds of fluff and gamwplay
Also what could be better than worshipping a Dragorm when I can use one inv the form of a the csm Heldrake?!
I did a C'tan dragon themed admech cult army a few years ago, heres a link to it : http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?286457-The-secret-cult-of-Mars-the-cult-of-the-dragon havent really done anything with it since the 5th ed retcons though...
ReplyDeleteWow. Very nice! I like it. You should play them in 6. A lot better
DeleteI use necrons in my csm army. I painted them in a dark rust color scheme to give them a more chaos look. My last game I used them with the new csm dex and they proved invaluable. Two very nasty defilers my opponent was running were stomping their way toward my aegis line. I rolled a 3 on my turn and got my night scythe with warriors on the board. Moved 24" straight to the defilers, disembarked, popped off 22 shots and managed to get 5 glancing hits. Bye bye defiler #1! Luckily my opponent fired a blast at my little metal blob that only felled 3 of my warriors, 1 of which stood back up. Next turn I double tapped the remaining defiler and the chaos gods were with me, because I nailed him with 6 glancing hits! I originally went with necrons because I needed a flyer for my csm, and that death ray seemed like it would be too much fun used with a daemon prince with lash. So sad I will never again have the pleasure of lining up a squad of GK terminators to firing squad kill them with the ray of death. :'(
ReplyDeleteI always use nightscythes with lord and 13 warriors and stormtek. It can relibaly kill any vehicle the turn it comea up.
DeleteThar death ray will deffinately be destructive against daemin princes. No EW.
DeleteSounds a good idea. It's nice to see people come up with fluff based reasons for their allies rather than just, 'I want some Chaos Cultists in my Necron army.'
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks guys! Im not sure how this idea came ro mind at first but i think it has alot of gaming amd fluff potential.
