I field the Deceiver myself but I'm reconsidering that to see if I can take a buttload of wraiths (I do not mean six). Or a monolith, but people would look upon me with disdain if i did that probably.

Sam
a) rockin Joshua burn with the buttload thing there
b) ditch the deciever because people hate that you use him
and c)people would still hate you but not nearly as much if you got a momolith, besides its just tactical sense!

I think it is stupid for people not to play the Necrons because of the Easy Bake Oven...er Radio..I mean that...mono....thingy. Yeah its broke (it doesnt bloke line of sight...magic!) but the Necron army is a tough army to play, I would play you Sam. As for special characters, I hate them, mainly because the Eldar don't get any good ones. I would go with the Nightbringer if I did get one though. Its a cool looking model, and if you get to use it I think it is more effective with the hammer of Necron strategy that people can't seem to deal with.
Remember just because you have a model doesn't mean you have to use it. I highly doubt people wouldn't play you because of the Monolith, who knows after the game maybe your cookies will be done and we can take them out of the oven and eat them, by the way I have a 40 Watt light bulb when you do get the Easy Bake Oven and start putting it together. ;D

I don't like really any C'tan gods, but I must admit the Deciever is rather cool...also he could probally fetch for a lot more monies in the 40K world since he is a golden brown. (and not because he was cooked in the Necron Easy Bake Oven)

lol rockin Ryka
Ok first off special characters are weak not because Ben kant take any "good" ones, its because theyre way too many points and i think kinda unbalanced. I mean they have to be or else you wouldnt have to ask your opponet if its ok to use them. And besides theyre not going to win you diddly, i played a game against James the other day wherein he use Old one Eye and The red terrer (yes you can do that) and what happened was that the red terror was thouroughly shoot down by a heavy bolter and laspistols after killing 6 gaurdsmen, and old one eye never even got into combat!
I would go with the momolith fo shor. But if you dont want to do that for any reason, (i dont see why you wouldnt if you have no qualms about taking the deciever ;D) then i would ditch the deciever and fill it with a cheepo lord and more warriors! bring on the bloo screen o' death baby!

Greg has a point. Special Characters are either way too many points for what they're worth or they are just too god-like/impossible to beat. There are few characters that have a good balance between skills and point cost. Some like Lucius for Slaanesh. All the stuff he has you could take in a normal Slaanesh Force Lord besides that he gets a 4+ inv. save which you can take a 5+ inv. save for a normal lord. He has one other rule but it is pretty even.(he gets like 3 attacks when fighting guys with WS 2 and under. and he gets 5(or 6 i forget) when fighting guys with WS 5 or higher.) Special Characters with only slight changes seem to be the most balanced.

You're right Greg. It wouldn't be much of a blue screen of death if i didn't have enough warriors. however I really do want to take all them wraiths and filleted ones first.

You see, now that is the coolest thing playing an imperium army (particularly guard) it's the character that everyone loves! look at greg's army: EVERTHING is named in it. i.e. Dreadforge (Demolisher), Colonel Volgarth etc etc etc. if you tried to do that with a necron or nid army or something of the like, people would call you an idiot.

sam has a good point (woah, thats a first) but isnt that what everyones army is about? i mean we all have that one seargent or, haemonculous or something, that always seems to do something kool and ends up sneaking into the legends and record books sooner or later.

Ya...fun, fun when your HQ does something amazing...like survive like 50 dark eldar splinter rifle shots and about 5 ap 2 guns where you only lose 2 wounds. Fun times.

I remember once when vohlgarth ran out into the exact like middle of the fray where there was no cover and tanks/units all about, and he put his powerhammer threw the engine of a space marine seargent, the rider flew a good 8 feet! it was glorious

The E-Z bake oven is one of the most broken items in the game. It ignores rules! It's better than a land raider! It kills anything!
And if you want anything else get a Destroyer Lord. Like a C'Tan but smaller! He fit's in your pocket, you can take him on walks, he kills anything! the Pocket C'Tan!
