Kill Stats For Necron Skorpekh Destroyers In Warhammer 40k

[@Planet40K]

This Is How We Should Be Using Necron Lokhust Heavy Destroyers!!! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqHRZH2Jrtqne6s Apologies for the double intro!

[@HiveFleetOni]

Reducing killing everything to a numbers game and applying exactly what you need to? That’s the thinking of a true Destroyer right there.

[@DaneInTheUS]

The only correct way for an overlord to wage battle

[@Kaegro]

Thinking like a Destroyer? Time to remove my legs for a hover pad, add an extra arm and attach all my arms to a giant destructo cannon.

[@vernpwns4143]

Feel like you missed one option; three Skorpekhs with a Lord.

[@hugosinnicks]

Maybe the best option

[@Sman16]

The skorpek lord means that even if the unit takes some damage and loses models its still a lethal threat for most units

[@avlaenamnell6994]

i also like a skorpekh lord on his own, can hide him easier then ROAR skorpekh lord through a wall

[@ForTehNguyen]

Skorpekh Lord finally got justice at 80 points

[@veryblocky]

Can’t believe it was so expensive at the start of 10th, something ridiculous like 150 points right?

[@hansjohannsen6722]

Built my lits and did a double take!!! Awakened treats these well finally.

[@autakis84]

Love my Glass Hammers. As long as i get them into the enemy they will do what destroyers do best, so i find them great in hypercrypt, or in matches on tables with a lot of terrain to hide them behind. Also, they look amazing.

[@hansjohannsen6722]

I've discovered reserves really helps their survival. As a bonus they (always)get a 9" charge against their ideal target. A squad with a Lord showing up on the 3rd turn has been a regular"tik" in my opponents face. Just failed the charge and they had several other more important targets by then and much lower firepower..

[@veryblocky]

I really like the unit in Awakened with +1 to hit and the Protocol of Hungry Void Stratagem. Well worth it for 260 points

[@Planet40K]

Prob the best option

[@lord123a]

I tried 2 units of 3 in my canoptek court list. Useful to protect the back field and do some secondary. And 3 of the are still dangerous but don't take too much agro.

[@6packproductions710]

I literally skipped 10th because I like these so much I didn’t care to play when they weren’t that good. My mind may be changing.

[@Iris_Astraea]

Honestly with the increase in points to the wraiths and technomancer I feel the skorpekh are Honestly giving them a little competition 260 points 6 skorpekhs + lord 335 points 6 wraiths + technomancer They are doing different roles as wraiths are much more tanky and skorpekhs are heavier damage

[@staceyrob01]

They definitely scare the opponent when they are on the table. Keeping them safe until they can successfully charge in is important I’ve found. The defensive profile is pretty week to focussed shooting at them. Crimson harvest is glorious with the lord if you can roll a 6 for D3+3 mortals on the charge! Really fun unit.

[@MichaelWilliamsMilke]

A skorpekh lord with 6 destroyers is the way to go.

[@xhossbossxgamingclips8239]

i run 3 skorpekh lords with 2 units of 6 and one unit of 3 in annihilation legion with 18 scarabs. and 3 units of flayed ones and some other 6 lokust destroyer and 6 more heavy destroyers.......this list wrecks everything that i put in front of it if i need to screen out in front of me i yeet the scarabs up and tie up everything or move block everything if they have mad deepstrike i can liter half the board in scarabs and my destroyers. if they go first sure they probably muck my flayed ones but it set them up for a charge from the skorpekh. this detachment gets a bad rep, since the canoptek court nerf this has become my new favourite detachement. If you havent tried it i think you should , you will be surprised how much fun it is.

[@Rasmus.Elnegaard]

Skorpekh Destroyers are my favourite Necrons unit, so I am thrilled they feel strong now. However, I really wish you would have considered a unit of 3 Skorpekhs+Lord. The full unit can be hard to hide and move around the table, but I feel this smaller unit with a Lord has some real play.

[@missingone9185]

I freaking love taking Skorpekhs in the Hypercrypt Legion. They've won me so many games after I throw them into an opponent's deployment zone with the Monolith's Eternity Gate then use Dimensional Corridor to charge and snag an easy Capture Enemy Outpost. I always take Skorpekh Lord in case I fight an army like Astra Militarum which has a tendency of turning their deployment zone into a parking lot and the Lethal Hits melts them like butter.

[@graysonsewell652]

Same that’s exactly what mine do and they are awesome.

[@Planet40K]

its a shame that capture enemy outpost isnt a card anymore, but they do storm hostile just as good.

[@Lakitemerin]

Can you do Lychguards next? I´m into Overlord detachment lately 😃

[@Lothrean]

Best use for the Skorpekh lord is solo with the 4+fnp enhancement from awakened dynasty.

[@sm901ftw]

I feel like if you can stretch the points that works best on a Catacomb Command Barge. Considerably tougher already with T8 and the -1 to wound on most anti-tank weapons (S9+) so with the 4+ FNP you're approaching C'tan levels of durability for half the price. And while not quite as dangerous in melee as the Skorpekh lord it still packs a punch and has an alright ranged attack as well. Skorpekh Lord is definitely a great option for taking it still though.

[@Lothrean]

@@sm901ftw the CCB offense is weaker and you can’t revive the CCB with the stratagem. Reviving the Lord makes it way better defensively compared to the CCB and even a Ctan if played right. This is because it can tank an entire phase of damage and still be alive. You can have it get literally be charged and completely overkilled by something that would easily oneshot the CCB or a Ctan and be alive at the end of the phase. There is no other army in the game that can do this.

[@sm901ftw]

@@Lothrean True, but you can't count on always having that spare CP or not having a better character to use the stratagem on. A buffed Skorpekh Lord's usually a good choice, but if it's between him and Szeras then he's probably staying dead. Plus your opponent may end up scoring secondaries for destroying the Lord where a CCB could have survived. And of course, can't discount the buffs the base CCB provides. The extra OC and Res Orb can occasionally come in clutch but it needs to be in the thick of it to work, which is a lot safer with the enhancement. Especially since unlike the SL it has no bodyguard.

[@avlaenamnell6994]

@@sm901ftw skorp lord can be ressed, and he can go through ruins unlike the CCB!

[@bolter445]

Big combo I think was missed is the 1xp crit 5s in Obeisance phalanx. Rest of the detachment dosent help em but crit 5s full rr to hit is already nutty on lokhusts. Curious to try it out myself

[@Trueflights]

why not 3 Skorpekh Destroyers and a Lord? Probably the best way to field them.

[@Lordiisback]

what i wanna try next is 2x 1 Skorpekh Lord + 3 Skorpekhs on Awakend... im thinking about this like 2 Month already. Sadly got no one to play atm (ಥ _ ಥ)

[@danjones3012]

I would rather have 2 Skorpek lords than 1 with 3 Skorpek destroyers. In awakened dynasty, the 15 point 4+ fnp turns him into a mini illuminor Szeras with better damage output. Hypercrypt tricks with monolith is cool but requires 2 cp and both units to be on the battlefield.

[@sm901ftw]

I would save the Monolith trick for Lychguard. Footslogging with Warscythes can be a nightmare if your opponent decides to play keepaway, and given how competitive Hypercrypt Stratagems are having an Overlord to reduce the cost makes the trick feel a lot more viable.

[@ggadmire]

I know you definitely lose out on sheer number of attacks but running 3 skorpek + Lord is only 170 points, double up on that and you have two small trade pieces that can definitely put the hurt on units in the mid board.

[@Patrick_Edwards]

That's cool, but how do I get sth to the midboard to bait the countercharge? Necrons are so slow

[@goldendragon6396]

i have been annoying friends by sticking my skorpehks and their lord in a night scythe. this tactic is only made worse for them now that night scythes have deep strike

[@josselinmartin1462]

skorpekh lord + 6 man squad is obviously the better option,the skorpekh lord has just to much drip !

[@Rich-in6ds]

What about just 3 or 3 with a lord? Cheaper, easier to hide. Still will munch through many ranged squads of higher cost in 1-2 turns.

[@Lothrean]

The problem is that skorpekhs are only a counter charge unit, because of their weak defense.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Is there a place to get feed back on gombrew necrons stuff? I redid Annihilation Legion recently and would like to know interested Necron Players' takes on it. Feels like there's too much of a focus on comp play these days.

[@avlaenamnell6994]

would love to see one of these for tesla and gauss immortals ;p

[@Dunkan-3]

Thanks 👍

[@Kaegro]

I love my Skorpekks + Lord in Hypercrypt with the Monolith. If you go 2nd on the 1st turn, you can Hyperfase the Monolith next to an opponents important minion, bring the Skorpeks to the Monolith, spend 2CP to let them charge and take out just about anything on the board. I took out a Nightringer, a Mortarion and a Aggron in Alpha strikes.

[@AndyQC40k]

Nope Monolith needs to start on the table to use the charge strat

[@Kaegro]

@@AndyQC40k Well ya, Monolith starts on the table. This all happens only if you go 2nd. Monolith usually doesn't get to charge, it's the Skorpekhs.

[@AndyQC40k]

@@Kaegro again Skorps can't charge out of the monolith unless it starts on the table

[@Planet40K]

Monolith needs to start the turn on the board. If it’s hyperphased, it’s not on the table.

[@Kaegro]

@@Planet40K what you're saying is if my monolith hyperphases on my opponents 1st turn, I can't use the Eternity Gate and Dimensional Corridor after deep striking on my turn?

[@40KStoics-pu2fb]

Everything you say is true but the issue with Skorpekh destroyers is how vulnberable they are to many of the D3 weapons out there.
