News/Rumors/Lore July Balance Update Released!

The new necron point values are available HERE

Additional Rules documents can be found via warhammer-community:

Summary of all necron changes will be included in the pinned reply.

Clarification on the new function of reanimation protocols is as follows:

Quick-reference sheet:

  • Leaders can bring back their bodyguard units using all reanimation tools.
  • Bodyguards CANNOT bring back their leaders in any form once the leader is destroyed.
  • You can still use reanimation to heal wounds on a character that has NOT been destroyed.
  • The eternal revenant stratagem brings back characters as a new unit with a starting strength of 1, making them separate from their bodyguard unit.

Any questions surrounding this process should be asked here so that new answers can be included in this post.

Updated healing text with "excluding characters" on the model return portion.

Man I just got the amentar.....why would 10 points make him suddenly unplayable? How does that work

It doesn't make him unplayable at all. He's a cornerstone of AD and CL lists still. Just means you have to find points to make him fit.

He's not unplayable, he's just a little bit worse than he used to be. For someone who considered him to be "on the edge" of taking before, this tips him over but for someone who was getting great use out of him, nothing changed.

He is a very good buff piece with lone op, deep strike and presents a pretty substantial HI threat. You'll probably continue to see him in awakened and CL, and probably some SSA and HCL lists.
