Hi!
Nice report!
I'm glad you tried out chaos, I was curious to see how they'd fare. I had
the suspicion that they would have some trouble. The magic of chaos worked
extremely well against them, which I found to be unexpected, but after some
thought I can see several ways in which the necrons can be seriously hurt by
it. Area attacks like tzeench's bolt of change and plague wind can be
devastatingly effective, even with bad luck on the chaos players side, some
necron wil be slain, decreasing their effectiveness.
Makes you wonder how to counter chaos with necron. No doubt interesting
plans will come for future games.
