We all understand how good the brand new Necrons are – however the Ghost Ark was all the time an attention-grabbing Necron unit. Here’s why it’s white sizzling today!

This might be some of the annoying Necron Models to color as a result of whereas the Silent King is worse – you solely want to color one.  The Ghost Ark is a flying transport that may transfer your 10 warriors round (which you must take so you can also make certain to deploy and preserve the Ghost Ark), throw out some surprisingly great amount of Gauss Firepower, and even heal your damaged toys.  It can be a really huge mannequin which helps it out rather a lot.

Necron Ghost Ark Basics!

Hey giving a large car Objective Secured looks like an excellent factor proper?  It is an enormous fats transport that covers a number of actual property, flies, and might defend your squishy robots.  It can also restore some Warriors and shoot fairly effectively.  It isn’t too costly for a flying Tank. The Ghost Ark can be exhausting to take away with the power to heal a wound a flip to itself and ignore wound rolls of 1-3.  It is only a huge fats shifting wall of hazard.  Add in a set of customized Dynasty traits with Objective Secured and a pregame transfer and also you see how this unit is one other avenue of risk for the Necrons.

Its a Moving Wall

I keep in mind utilizing Rhinos to guard my guys as shifting partitions and this simply amps it up much more.  Just with the ability to transfer your Necron Warriors across the desk simply is a blessing plus it probably stays Objective secured so its spikey finish and really massive board presence means it will probably simply seize an goal rapidly.  Thankfully you must take 10 man warrior items to carry one in every of these. Luckily they’ve to start out the sport deployed in or we’d see an entire heck of a number of “Ghost Ark” rides simply hanging out with cheaper infantry choices.

Sample List

Liam Hackett took this checklist on the WTC Warmaster GT this previous week.  The WTC is the massive group occasion abroad that the US group took 4th place in.  Liam is a part of Team Australia that gained the occasion this 12 months.  His Necron checklist is a main instance of the Wall of Robots that might be very exhausting for lots of armies to chew through.  The Ghost Ark is a ache within the butt so having 4 of them shifting up the sphere and throwing out firepower is a legit risk.

Necron Ghost Ark Closing Thoughts

The Necrons bought a brilliant increase this final replace and can proceed to wreck desires on the tabletop.  It is nuts how military huge Objective Secured combined with robust mechanical our bodies is a risk to any military.  It makes you surprise if GW ought to actually take a look at what good points CORE and Objective Secured when attempting to stability armies.  Still it’s nice to see Necrons getting some love as they’ve all the time felt off since their launch!
