Default Planetstrike Attackers, the no phaseout army

in Planetstrike troops are not required, so this is a Necron army that does not have a phase out. Messes up your opponent

HQ
Nightbringer 360

Elite
10 Piriahs 360

Fast Attack
6 Scarabs 72

Heavy
Monolyth 235

Monolyth 235

Monolyth 235

Total 1497

Since a C'tan can only be brought at 1500 points or higher, this is the best possible combination that I can think of (drop a monolyth add tomb spiders). Notice, no 'Necron' units, which means no phase out. You actually have a really mean army list here too. Problem with the list: you can't capture objectives per 5th ed. (troops) Solution: doesn't apply in Planetstrike.

This also brought to light that there are many combinations of lists that could be created where there are 3 or less 'Necron' models on the table, where, so long as a player protected those units, there would never be a phase out.

Big Question: how many Necon Players would be daring enough to try this list?

a dreadsock is a sock that contains an ancient drednaught. they used to be completely made out of metal, so i would imagine its an aweful thing to have happen to you.

In the part of special rules for both.

Don't resurrect old threads! This thread has been long gone.

Well, since the zombie is already back, mind if i ask a question?
Since you have 0 necrons, and 1/4 or 0 is 0, wouldn't you instantly phase out?
