Fantastic play. I thought, going in to this, that the Death Guard would have it in the bag, but this proves that it comes down to scoring objectives.

[@anachronity9002]

in the new rules of 9e, necrons are actually amazing at just outliving opponents and winning on points.

[@tatooine_dream]

necrons op at point scoring. army doesnt need to be nerfed just their secondaries

[@tatooine_dream]

funnily enough iirc death guard were winning tournaments back when mortarian was released. now silent kind is the hot new army commander needing to be sold and low and behold necrons are the strongest competitive army currently

[@finnon7460]

Man, what a great video! I really love seeing Michael's necrons in these battle reports, he's got such a beautiful colour scheme. Very entertaining as always, you guys are the absolute pros at high quality batreps

[@lordvaust5830]

Michael is my favorite player on the show. Not many people play Xenos like the Necron and I love his dedication to his favorite unit (Watson) despite it not being an optimal choice. That’s exactly how I’d play with my army (if I could play this game). Fun trumps winning, that’s why I love Grey Knights and Necrons.

[@devinkeller2699]

michael, im a newer necron player and i've been wayching you and watson over the last 6 months and you've pretty much taught me how to really use my necrons, keep it up!!! i use a very similar list to this one. long live the king!

This'll be the perfect match to help me decide!! Edit: Oh yea, It's thanks to your channel I became interested and hoped on board with the hobby, so thank you guys!

[@liamhobbs1401]

A few rules mistakes here and there but a fun watch regardless! For reference: 1) Techno-Cloak heals in the Movement phase, not Command Phase. Doesn't usually make a different as it tends to stick to one or two units anyway. In this case, as the LHD has 2W it would heal 1 for LM and then auto heal one from the Techno so there was no need to roll. 2) Whirling Onslaught makes you -1 to Wound, not Hit, although I think Steve just got them mixed up. It does *sound* like it should make you -1 to Hit. 3) TSK MAKES YOU FIGHT LAST! Could have made a difference.

[@khorneflakes8069]

Yeah it's real frustrating watching someone forget a massive rule for a Supreme Commander like that. Morty woulda been bracketed by the time he got to swing on that second charge for sure.

[@GhostMan407]

[@teemink]

The Necrons also don't get command protocols because they don't have a noble unit. Right?

[@khorneflakes8069]

@@teemink Yeah but by the time TSK bit it I don't think he was using protocols

Watson also wasn't -1 to hit shooting into combat against Morty, as the Flayer Arrays are Rapid Fire and not Heavy weapons.

[@Aeinxx]

Letting you know when the Daemon Prince charged at 23:45, charges DO NOT ignore vertical distances, even if you have fly. They rolled a 9" on the charge, depending on the distance and the crate's height, it is looking like a risky 10" or something like that. Everyone seems to always forget that charges do not ignore vertical movement, lol. "If a unit’s datasheet has the FLY keyword, then when it makes a charge move, its models can be moved across other models (and their bases) as if they were not there, but they must move over terrain features (including BUILDING units) like any other model. A model that can FLY cannot finish any move on top of another model." - Core Rules, Flying when Charging. This means the Daemon prince, to move down, would need to move the distance of his base, and the height distance of the crate, THEN move within 1" of the models as well. Its very rough, and most likely a failed charge. This also applies to Mortarian, but TSK was within 1" of the edge of that building, meaning he did not have to move down to engage them. Kinda rough mechanic, but I see SO many channels do it wrong.

[@brothertobias]

12:10 - Interesting opportunity here: If Mortarion and/or the spawn WIPED the Scarabs, the drone could have Piled into and consolidated towards the Necron Warriors, because even without any surviving Scarabs around, it made a successful charge. That means the Necrons could have been tied up into melee for a bit, since even buffed 20 of them might struggle to melee a 3+ saving vehicles with Toughness 7.
