We do lose a lot of ground to the Tau now, what with stuff like Ions with marker lights getting high str no cover large blasts. With the loss of closest models first, footslogging loses distance with every model lost and a big green tide takes to long to move in a limited time frame most tourneys have. Taking Ghaz with Snkrot is still a good laugh though, coming in on any table edge even if you can't assault from reserve. He can call his Waaagh at anytime (after you find out how many wounds those AP 2 weapons inflicted, for example)and get the 2++, and the after-1st turn requirment is already over since he was in reserves. To be honest, i use Grotsnik that way more than Ghaz, since i can give the kommandos Cybork and FNP as well as make em fearless). Since you know the game well, take a look at multiple small-squad uses of Stormboyz. You can get a few str 9 on the charge powerklaws with a tiny footprint in their back filed, and with the extra 1d6 for ork rocket packs, on an average roll for the pack and assault, you can fairly reliably assault 22-23". Everyone loves them lootas, but if you run an Aegis, go 10 or less, since they can't go to ground if they have 11+ orks for fearless.40K + T&Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058918571922538449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-66911496888413649432013-05-30T21:44:50.181-04:002013-05-30T21:44:50.181-04:00orks and necrons aren't a bad combo, necrons ...orks and necrons aren't a bad combo, necrons bring to the table longer range and higher quality shooting to an otherwise short ranged anti-infantry army. Orks bring close combat to an otherwise sub-par cc army.<br /><br />Great pairing from a competitive standpoint and both are about as likely to run away from things. So at least morale is not something to worry too much about.Archfiend of Dezdemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570996254347477584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-62104671424033812702013-05-30T18:40:49.335-04:002013-05-30T18:40:49.335-04:00At the most recent GT in my area, Orks and Crons w...At the most recent GT in my area, Orks and Crons walked away with all the awards!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401767380601381115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-14995274484188546322013-05-30T16:31:07.233-04:002013-05-30T16:31:07.233-04:00+1 for the Green Tide.

That being said I am looking for some feed back on playing my necrons even though I told the community I wasn't.
