Hi!

actually hit on all 6 of the 4+ shots
against the SM detachment which Eivind had advanced
out into the open, foolishly in the path of
one large hunk of metal :) The Necron Assaults mopped
up the rest in the following round..

I must say, i did indeed enjoy winning and mostly
on the fact that i won, and not the Slann :)

Im looking forward to playing more games in the
future, and testing out some new units we feel
we can introduce now. Im currently making
the Slann Frontguards (which will be a CC support card)
, and Nils is working on Necron Immortals
(which will be almost as good as terminators). I have also made a
Necron special card, called the Necron Numbercruncher,
which is basically a unit which can boost other
units by either giving them either +1 tohit or changing
their order along an axis. It has the same
stats as a Necron Lord with an upgraded CPU,
allowing it to do mathematical and statistical
analysis. Don't know if we will be introducing these
units to netepic, and most certainly not until
we've playtested them thoroughly. We'll "bicker"
among ourselves for a while, and come out with
a finished product. That way the list wont
be swarmed with posts from our group, arguing
about this or that CAF increase/decrease and
whatnot :)

If anybody knows of, or has any units which might
pass for some sort of Necron bikes, id be
very happy for the information :)
Im picturing them as Arnold riding his Harley
in Terminator :)
