Necrons vs Grey Knights: 1000 pts
Preliminary: Battlefield setup: The Scouring, 6
objectives, Vanguard Strike table setup
Warlord Traits: Necrons: Princeps of Deceit, Grey
Knights: Conqueror of Cities
Turn order: Grey Knights won the roll off, and Necrons
failed to seize the initiative.
Deployment:
The Grey Knights arrived with two Rhinos and their
Commander. One Rhino was in the back field, while one was on the line, ready to
surge forward. The Commander stood next to an objective within some trees.
My Necrons arrived with one warrior squad , Scarab Swarms,
my Destroyer Lord with two Destroyers and two Heavy Destroyers, and one Spyder
near the edge.
Turn 1:
The center Grey Knight Rhino moved to the center of the
table, deploying a 5-man Grey Knight squad, and shooting at the Necron Warrior squad,
killing one.
The downed Necron Warrior isn't down for long as it
revives. The Necron Warrior squad, Destroyers, and Heavy Destroyers fire upon
and kill entire Grey Knight squad.
Turn 2:
Two Grey Knight squads deep strike onto the battlefield,
one behind the square tower, and one missing their mark deploying out in the
open nearby the green tower. A Callidus Assassin deep strikes behind the Necron
Warrior squad. The Grey Knight squad within the back field Rhino emerges to
take control of an objective. Unleashing hell, the open Grey Knights fire at
and kill one Destroyer and one Heavy Destroyer. The Rhino and other Grey Knight
squad near the square tower fire upon the encroaching Scarab Swarms, causing
three wounds. The Callidus Assassin kills 3 Warriors upon her arrival.
One Warrior and the Heavy Destroyer rise back up to fight
another day! My Monolith then deep strikes into the back field, into the center
of Grey Knight territory. Two warrior squads deploy, one from the Monolith, one
walk in from the side behind the Callidus Assassin. Firing all its majesty, the
Monolith kills three Grey Knights. The Monolith-deployed Warriors wreck the
nearby Rhino. In the center of the battlefield, the Scarab Swarms wreck the
other Rhino. The two Warrior squads fire and kill the now sandwiched Callidus
Assassin. Emerging from cover, the Spyder fires on the nearby Grey Knight
squad, and along with the Destroyer and Heavy Destroyers, take down the entire
squad.
Turn 3:
The Grey Knights still holding an objective, fire upon
and annihilates the entire Necron squad. They can't rise back up if there's no
one left! Outraged, the Commander unleashes his Psycannon at the Monolith, but
fails to damage the armor.
My Spyder, Destroyer, Heavy Destroyers, and Destroyer
Lord all advance up the center of the battlefield. One of my Warrior squads
redeploys out of the Monolith. The newly emerged Warriors fire upon and finish
off the Grey Knight squad, clearing them off the objective. The Heavy
Destroyers manage to cause one wound on the Commander. The Monolith unleashes
upon the remaining Grey Knight squad, hunkering down in the corner woods,
killing 4 of them.
Turn 4:
The Grey Knight Commander fires at the Monolith, still
without causing damage. The remaining Grey Knight misses his Necron Warrior
targets.
My Destoyers and Spyder continue moving up the center of
the table. The Monolith positioned itself to suck the Commander into its
portal, but failed to do so. Firing its cannons, the remaining Grey Knight is
killed, leaving all attention on the Commander. The hail of gunfire from the
Monolith, Destroyer Lords, and Destroyer bring him down to finish off the Grey
Knights' force.
Necron Victory.
Victory Points:
Necrons: 13 (10 from objectives, 1 from Line Breaker, 2,
from Slay the Warlord)
Grey Knights: 1 from First Blood
Lessons: This is my first major success on my own with
40k, and I feel this could not have gone much better for me. I feel my tactical
decisions and unit placement worked very effectively. And while I was concerned
with getting into close combat with the Grey Knights, I managed to keep them at
bay.
