Title: Best Dynasty for Necrons.
Post by: TheGreatElder on November 29, 2019, 03:08:25 PM

From the perspective of someone that played necrons a lot (and win a lot), what is the best dynasty for a "no melee" necron army?

I love mephrit, but when enemy get in melee i die immediately...

I generally don't use Mephrit unless I'm running a small detachment of just Deathmarks. Otherwise I find running Mephrit as a bit of a trap. Assuming the core of your army is 30 Immortals with Tesla, you want to keep at Max range.

I usually run Nihilak for the mobility and deepstrike stratagem. If I'm running Doomsday Arks or Doom Scythes I run the Storm Lords trait (can't recall name of it right) for being to move and shoot Doomscythes, free time extra "My will be done" and CP cycling.

In most lists I always have some scarabs and Wraiths to help screen and get out of melee. This is key right now.
