The Imperial Army at 2,170pts take on 3,550pts of Necrons!

Hello everyone!

A little while ago I was getting my "Grand Imperial Army" ready for its first grind-down game. The concept is to build a massive Imperial army and I stay motivated to paint all units. I was considering the size of this army and that I would be going up against @owen-turner's 3,5k Necron army, I knew I needed to buff the army a bit.

So with Post 17 I had put together an army that would at least offer some staunch resistance to the Necrons but also make it fairly lopsided in Owen's favour.

We will then repeat this game later on after I have grown the list a bit.

So, onwards to this game.

There are a lot of pictures in the camera roll below, it is sequential but I am not going to a play-by-play on the photos.

Instead, I will do a bit of a run through on my kills scored during the game.

Owen and I rolled for first turn after setting up. We both got a 1, we both rolled again, I got another 1 and he got a four. So he get's first turn!

Thankfully for me, he did not manage to kill anything of mine in turn 1. He did, however hurt about 4 different units.

I did not record his kills. It took him 6 turns, but he did wipe out all of my forces. That is the whole list as Post 17 above shows.

In retaliation I slew the following:

Turn 1:

• C'tan Shard of the Deceiver - 265pts
• Triarch Stalker - 110pts

Total: 375pts

Turn 2:
Doom Scythe - 230pts
Scarabs x3 - 40pts
Scarabs x6 - 80pts

Total: 350pts
Total so far: 725pts

Turn 3:
Skorpekh Destroyers x3 - 90pts
Transcendent C'tan - 295pts
Lokhurst Heavy Destroyers x2 - 110pts
Canoptec Doomstalker - 145pts

Total: 640pts
Total so far: 1,365pt

Turn 4:

Scarabs x6 - 80pts
Tomb Blades - 75pts

Total: 155pts
Total so far: 1,520pts

Turn 5:

Necron Warriors x20 - 200pts

Total: 200pts
Total so far: 1,720pts

Turn 6:

Royal Warden - 50pts
Immortals x10 - 150pts

Total: 200pts

Grand Total at the end of the game: 1,920pts!

For 2,170pts facing off against a for that is 1.6 times its size, they accounted for themselves well. Right at the end you can see the Necron units that survived the battle. The Nightbringer and a bunch of other units that carry high weight in value.

We shall see what happens next time!

Cheers!
