So here we are. The final Random Unit Review. Where shall I go after this? What will make people quit whining? Will I ever see the irony in my complaining about complainers? Will the Joker be able to thwart Batman’s evil plan? What? That’s different here? Fuck.
Oh, before I go to deep into Necron milling… I want to chat about the 6th Edition and Hrud rumors. Now, I’m not one to call people bald face liars (except when I do that exact thing all the time). But those rumors would represent a significant departure from my own timeline. I’m not saying that the people spreading those rumors should look into asbestos pants, I’m just saying that unless your world shifts a lot from my own… they are just making shit up. Wildly inaccurate wishlisting… that’s what it would be on the REAL Earth. Anything that is right would be pure luck. But hey, I’m not from YOUR future. So things could be correct. I just wouldn’t know.
Ok, so Necron Heavy Support. That’s what you are here to learn about. Rolling the d10 and divide by 2. Ooh, a 9… so that’s…4.5. Round down right? That’s what we do. So 4! The French Breakfast Bread! This will be a quick one!
Like a Rhino on all sides, this vehicles is ready for even the most trying of circumstances. Made of the same material as the big pyramid, this bird can still move as fast as a razorwing! It’s two weapons make for a quick delivery of damage as it swoops down on the fleshy fleshy prey. While the main gun may be limited to pistol ranges, it more than makes it up for in oomph, rocking it at maximum strength and allowing none of those pesky armor saves (a big help against enemy vehicles too!).
But wait… there is more! Act now and you’ll also be able to fire all your weapons while cruising around the battlefield. All your weapons? Yes! Even the troop crushing destruct-o-magics! Once you’re taking fire from bolters, these would make even Edison blush, as they give autocannons are run for their money, even if they can’t even break an Orks leather. With a rate of fire comparable to the assault cannon, these weapons can hit multiple units, ruining all those multiple small units days.
So act now, and you too can make a parking lot look like a junkyard!
So there you have it! Some random Necron Units. I hope you have enjoyed this bit of trans-dimensional speculation (I know some of me has). As the PDS starts to subside from anything I might have changed, I’ll come back with a bit more.

Sounds good, just one question, what’s the name of this thing?
Thanks again for the Necron rumours. Now onto the Not-So-Random-Necron-Unit-Review?!
Sounds snazzy. So you’re saying also that all these 6th ed rumors are bs? The hrud I didn’t buy at all and I’d be more than happy for the 6th ed rumors to be bs too. haha
Thanks for the update.. I also share doubts on the extreme nature of the recent “6th edition” rumors. They feel too disgruntled & too much of a change to take seriously.
My opinion is no better than the rest of the masses though, I have no inside link to GW to confirm/deny.
quite useless gimmie back my time
I think the timing of the 6th and Hrud “rumours” is designed to coincide with the announcement of Mantic and Privateer Press’s new Sci-Fi games. I’m not saying they are the guilty parties, but I do think this is a deliberate concerted attack against GW.
I like a good prank as much as the next guy, it’s just a shame that reputable sites like BoLS are giving them serious consideration.
I would advise giving us the info on what the weapon options are and how they work
If you actually try to work out all the little riddles and hints, that’s exactly what he does.
no i mean the weapons types he said in the first post (Ray, Gauss, Tesla and Particle)
Thank you for taking the time to give us the info. As a long dormant 40k player I can’t wait to get back into the hobby when the new book comes out! Again, thanks!
From what I can ellucidate.
AP10 all around with resistance to lance and melta weapons.
Tesla cannons on the side I believe, at least it fits the description.
Range 48″ S7 AP- Heavy 4
This is how I believe it works. At least this is what I have been able to piece together from several sources.
For every successful hit on a unit roll to hit on any unit within 6″. So if you get 3 hits on the first unit then roll 3 to hit dice against every unit within 6″.

Please do not down a bottle of vodka before writing your unit reviews. Thank you.
so a ST 10 AP 1 (or 2 since that is also no armor) 6 inch (blast maybe) weapon with two ST 7 Ap – heavy 4 weapons with 48 inch range and 11 armor all round with no melta or lance shenanigans! this sounds like it will be quite expensive
I heard that if you roll a 6 on the roll off for turn order, you automatically win.
I’d rather say the weapons are:
Main: range 12″ S10 Ap1 Heavy 1
Support: range 24″ S7 AP – Heavy 4 (Possibly blast, and can target each blast separately)
Also with the DE like ability to fire all weapons after moving 12″ it’ll be quite nice:)
There was also one rumor, I think on warseer, that the new necron skimmer/flyers would have +2 armour value until they get a first glancing or penetrating hit.
