The leader of choice for this patrol is a Tech-Priest Enginseer, who leads three Kataphron Destroyers (which can alternatively be assembled as Kataphron Breachers). Ten Skitarii Rangers make up the majority of the squad, which can be assembled as Skitarii Vanguard (both versions offer good ranged combat). For some heavy support the box contains an Onager Dunecrawler, which is one of my favourite Mechanicus units and looks great on the battlefield.

Budding Necron Phaerons (that’s you guys) can take your revenge with a Codex that’ll let you dispatch endless legions of pitiless automata, on a mission to destroy the fledgling empires stinking the galaxy up with all their flesh.Skitarii Rangers relentlessly stalk the enemy across the galaxy, even if it takes decades to do so. To help them do so their legs have been replaced by cybernetic augmentations so they can hunt the enemy to exhaustion. They are armed with a variety of weapons and are usually led by an Alpha. Imotekh is perhaps the mightiest Necron Overlord in the galaxy after the Silent King – and he’s catching up with worrying speed. The Stormlord is now returning to the galaxy in a mighty panoply of plastic, standing tall and flexing his clawed gauntlet of fire. Imotekh is a mighty Phaeron indeed – in battle, his hyperlogical strategic skills confer an extra Command Point every turn, while unnatural lightning strikes any foolish enough to approach. Orikan the Diviner But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal. – Mechanicus Skitarii Vanguard Taking Cover. Credit: Pendulin All Skitarii models (other than the Terrax, Secutarii Hoplites, and Secutarii Peltasts) have the Doctrina Imperatives ability. So long as you have at least one model alive in your army with the Doctrina Assembler keyword (i.e. a single Tech-Priest of any type or a Skitarii Marshal) at the start of the round, then units with the Doctrina Imperatives ability have access to the buffs (and debuffs) from one of the four different Doctrina Imperatives at your disposal. Just because you can grab a transdimensional tchotchke from your ancestral treasure rooms, doesn’t mean you have to. Plenty of other equally refined Necron Overlords prefer not to sully themselves by phasing their way through the gaucheness of enemy flesh. This particular Overlord – originally available only in certain boxed sets from the previous edition of Warhammer 40,000 – prefers the elegance of a tachyon arrow, which launches a hyperaccelerated thunderbolt out to a range of 72″ for a Strength 16 shot that causes D6+2 damage. Yes, you can only fire it once, but your puny foe won’t need to be told a second time. Royal Warden

Kataphron Destroyers (3 miniatures, each supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round Base, can alternatively be assembled as Kataphron Breachers) Kataphron destroyers can be assembled as Kataphron Breachers and Skitarii Rangers can also be alternatively assembled as Skitarii Vanguard. Adeptus Mechanicus Combat Patrol Components Aesthetic– Models in this faction are utterly distinct from any other. The 60s era retro-futuristic Kastelan Robot, the wasteland cavalry Serberys Raider, the spider-tank Onager Dunecrawler: every model in this faction is positively dripping with style. All Skitarii in your army gain the optimisation but also suffer from the deprecation. If you are clever, you can use a Skitarii Marshall to cancel out the deprecation effect on a single unit in a key turn, taking your opponent off guard.Ah, the Blood Angels– noble and civilised sons of Sanguinius, most handsome, tragic, star-crossed and pretty of all the Emperor’s ‘Primarch’ sons. These renaissance Italy-themed space marines are among the most storied and popular chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.
