Summary

 

Another interesting game with Mathew..His list was interesting and I was not looking forward in have those two formation in my half of the table, with his daemon support..As it was I lost two full formations to the Retinue near my Blitz..

 

Other all the plan was send out the BLADE MANIPLE into the his half and give them support with the Bombers.The IUDICIUM MANIPLE,were there to shoot armour or any target that was in range if no armour..The WARRIOR PHALANXs were there to hold ground, but in this game one manage to win the game for me, by doing just that…

 

So the Necron Sautekh Legion List its self..

 

• NIGHT SHROUD BOMBER: May need to have points increase or drop the Disrupted..
• Scythe Class Harvester: Should it be same points as in the other Necrons list…
• BLADE MANIPLE: More testing need, but 200 maybe about right, but it maybe ok at 225 too..

 

I’m sure there will be others, but this is the list I have basically settled on for the Briscon17…It may change to get some ground base AA in yet..
