Summary

 

That was enjoyable..I forgot to shoot the monolith and Infantry phalanx in turn four at the SCARAB OCCULT, may have caused it to break, but yeah I need to really pull off few rolls to do that..Over all I was happy with the Necron list, that I had used. It may have been better to teleport the Monoliths in on one flank and that way cut down on some of the firepower that was thrown at them…arh well next time..

 

The thousand sons list was interesting to face low activations, but staying power..
