Skorpekh Lord - Necrons 10th Ed Refresher Review!

[@7vezda]

I've been throwing a Skorpekh Lord into my Boarding Actions list (Tomb Ship Complement) and he's actually shockingly good there as just a standalone character. Due to how characters don't attach to units in Boarding Actions and the substitution of the Reanimation Protocols army rule, there's very little reason to bring most of the character options we have, but when you're largely facing Infantry, a solo Skorpekh Lord is actually quite a beat stick of a unit for just 80 points... good move speed, 4++, his claws are perfect for slaughtering Tau and his harvester for Marines, and even his shooting profile is pretty good in the close quarters because you're almost always getting the Rapid Fire 2.

[@vought19]

I've also recently played BA (really fun mode) and can 100% confirm. The Skorpekh Lord is quite a beast. My oponent whiffed his attacks with Dark Angel inner circle leaving him on 2 wounds and the clapback was triple 3 wounds with -3 AP. Bye bye inner circle.

[@theprojectside6812]

Expanding on what you said about the Awakened Dynasty and the Protocol of the Eternal Revenant is it's a unit that opponents typically and desperately do not want in their face, so they end up (in my experience) blowing it to smithereens when it gets close and the look of horror they have when it gets back up is priceless.

[@Angelshammer]

Love mine. Run him with 3 skorpekhs and the fnp relic in awakened. Hits and kills something. Skorps get killed he survives kills something. Dies, gets rezzed and kills something else! They charge out of ruins as they are infantry. 6 skorps is too big to hide so found it never works. Really good in awakened!

[@abuyousef6224]

The Skorpekh Lord is quite the candidate for the Enslaved Artifice stratagem with the Obeisance Phalanx, making his unit score Lethal Hits on 5+ if they need to punch up high toughness. Certainly not a reason enough to go Obeisance Phalanx, but if you already are, Skorpies are a good addition to consider.

[@danjones3012]

Sorry but sadly obeisance phalanx enhancements are for overlords only. What skorpeks need is access to cryptek support.

[@Planet40K]

I think he’s talking about the stratagem which is open to all

[@missingone9185]

This guy one of the biggest reasons why I take the Skorpekh Destroyers in the Awakened Dynasty. Hits on 2s with rerolls after charging and Lethal Hits? YES PLEASE

[@yossiturgeman2355]

This is my favorite mini in 40K, absolutely love it. I take it with a unit of 6 S.Destroyers with a Vail of darkness in awakened dynasty. bring it 9' from a juicy target behind a ruin and create havoc

[@Killomainia]

Everything you mentioned is what I came to my conclusion when fielding these guys. They have been my go to response unit in strat reserve. 2 units of 340 points, rapid ingress and then have them rush the enemy on my turn to counter whatever they have done with an easy charge.

[@BryanLow-x2z]

Perfect timing as im building a full destroyer list with awakened dynasties

[@Rolman3D]

I just finished painting mine in the 8th edition Mephrit Dynasty colours and saw this video :0

[@Yankees1098]

I love the skorpekh lord he really hits hard in my opinion especially leading a unit. I keep the unit back and move up the board turn two or three to rip units off the middle objectives

[@RockRanchCowboy]

I'm currently running 3 in Awakened, loving them. *with 3 units of 3 skorpeks, one lord with the 4++

[@Planet40K]

Eternal rev strat on top 🫡

[@Waushammer40k]

I normally play him with Awakened Dynasty, Enaegic Dermal Bond and 6 destoyers. But the destroyers are allways gone quick and he survives till end game cause of the 4++ and the Eternal Revenant, so i like the idea of playing him solo as well 😀

[@clementcate4730]

I like them in my melee Hypercrypt too, but with Monolith :D Imotekh for CP farming, Lychguards, 10 Flayed Ones, and 6 Skorpekhs with Lord. Monolith isnt likely to go down too quickly when you have CP, and yes, as you said, he will allow one of these extremely strong melee units to charge into whatever they want to be fighting. Absolutely love it. I have tried to use little units for Necrons, but it seems that people are really starting to understand the weakness of Necrons: if you kill the unit, the Necrons main rule is countered. So my opponents will always pick off any small unit i have, even when i try to hide them, just in order to prevent me from reanimating. And it works! So i like having bigger units now :3

[@bencemihalyhorvath6078]

I love these. I use 2 of them 1 with a unit of 6 and the auto 6 advance enhancement and 1 with a unit of 3 and the deep strike enhancment. I put the little one into reserves and rapid ingress them behind a ruin, then next turn I have an easy charge. If I need a storm hostile It's perfect, but they even killed 5 sanguinary guard (in the index detachment). The big brick usually goes with the monolith and for 2 cp they get an eay charge too. Eliminating big threats. Then there is a monolith and a big brick of skorpekhs and the enemy has to decide which one to kill, so distraction happens as well.

[@WHPL4SH]

I run him in Hypercrypt with 6 Skorpekhs. Keep them in reserves for Rapid Ingress or to teleport them to the monolith and charge out. They usually kill a major threat and then die, but you could always teleport them back to the monolith if they get hit and only lose a model or two and save them for another turn. If they kill a big threat and survive thats usually game over for the opponent because these guys can shred almost any unit.

[@Damnedlegion40k]

Add a comment... My last game was CK vs Necrons and the Skorpek Lord killed 2 little knights and managed to hold my knights in their deployment, lost 50-16 but still awesome game

[@Planet40K]

Dam he held his ground then

[@Damnedlegion40k]

@@Planet40K held his ground for 3 turns and stood back up. I have a couple of pictures of the game in my channel community.

Do game couching or list building help for perks

Thanks

@@Planet40K I can’t join to broke sadly but I watch all your content it’s great for us necron overlords . Would you do a rules overview? Ie: line of sight . And measure distance for shoot I get muddled

[@danemartin791]

It's sad that even skorpekhs cannot justify the annihilation legion

[@Planet40K]

Give them a fnp or something and I’d be happy

[@agshaggy]

have you tried attaching him to some lychguard with the shields

[@Planet40K]

this isnt possible..

[@OwlEmperor]

Yo I'm new to w40k but I think I built an Ann legion build I think can work pseudo competitive. If I send it would you be able to give me some feedback❤. I even have a potential strat for how to use it

[@zissoulander]

Anni Legion is decent mostly because of the 6" pile in and consolidate which is bonkers on the large base size of skorpekhs. It needs just a bit more love with points, or something to support ranged destroyers and it'll be good.

[@Killomainia]

@@zissoulanderthe biggest thing that hurts annihilation legion for me is the 2 strats that allow you to move closer to the enemy don’t even allow you to end in engagement range. What’s the point of a blood surge style move (that with have to pay CP for) and can’t even lock up enemies in combat again. Guess my skorpehk’s will die 1” away from you now rather then 5” 😂
