As an overall army, say which army has the best saves out there?

So if you were to fight them, you know they have some tough armour, majority of em.

Deathwing.

Necrons are well armoured too, especially if their WBB rolls are considered to be some kind of additional armour save.

Definitely necrons.

They get two armor saves: a normal 3+ save and another 4+ WBB "save" which can be invulnerable if a lord with a resurrection orb is within range.

THEN, they can get a third save, if they decide to transport through a monolith and have taken casualties in the previous turn.

Must be nice.

well if you think thats bad play a sisters of battle army....
power armour on all their dudes..... their H.Q. can be made to have termy armour in a way (cloak of saint aspira and a rosarius) plus they are cheap!(points wise)
they are really well armored and come in big squads so they are'nt exactly weak in the armour table

oh yeah and deathwing for sure 2+ 5+ jeeze

even though necrons can have 3 saves its not realy dependable mostly for fact that most of the time the necrons will be doing something else,being hacked away at in close combat...having 12 lascannons aimed at the monolithe....
many things even though the nectrons can have three saves (jeeze) they are'nt too tough


and there ya go

How about Deathwing, all armed with Storm Shields, and a Grand Master with a Lion Helm?????

4+ Invulnerable in CC, 4+ Invulnerable vs. Shooting. Oh yeah and a normal 2+.

Sorry if I'm wrong about the invulnerable; no codex in front of me right now.

Necrons: 3+ and WBB role.
SM: 3+ or better, Deathwing is even 'Arder.
CSM: same as SM, invulnerable saves are more common too.
Daemonhunters: 3+ or better, with anti-shooting and anti-'psykering' rules.
IG Armored Company: alternative to regular armies, but still damn 'Ard.
