Hey guys, I know there are a lot of questions on this board regarding phase out, and I hate to add another, but it really is a very simple question.

When you check each turn to determine phase out, is the percentage of Necron Models dead determined by points or simply number of models? Because 5 downed deystroyers would be way more points than 2-3 warriors, thus adding more quickly to the phase out count.

Thanks in advance, I hope my question is clearly stated .

phase out is calculated by the number of models that are considered 'necrons' rather than the number of points a model costs.

Really? You're certain? Because that makes it kinda stupid if you think about it... Necrons phase out tactically based upon loss of units, and a deystroyer is a far more valuable unit than a warrior, know what I'm saying?

I do understand what you are saying, but I believe to keep things simple they just wanted to do it by model count. Maybe when the new codex comes out they will upgrade to that sort of system. It would defentally be interesting.

I think its likely to me that in any new Codex:Necrons they will remove Phase Out, and weaken the codex to compensate. I'm not fond of Phase Out as a method of balancing Codex:Necrons.

It is definately, 100% number of models. On the note of taking Phase out, out of the codex, I agree, as all I do is hide a unit of warriors in the corner as an emergency and they prevent phase out, it's a waste!

It's reduced to 25% and yes, I've phased out when I've had major victories in hand. Not often but enough to stay on guard the ENTIRE game. Once my opponent realized the mission objectives cannot be met, phase out becomes the sole objective since phasing out an Necron army grants a complete and total win for the opponent.

Even a draw, it matters! Especially for players like me, who play quite a few tournaments, the margin of victory between you and your opponent affects your score, meaning Necron players are at a big disadvantage...
