Does rending work against monoliths? this is a deciding factor.

[tiaxrulesall]

-nope, rending doesn't work VS liths

[TheWamp]

I vote necrons

The marines have no way to kill the liths except for 2 combi-melta guns (powerfists don't work either). The big important factor is that the necron lords can do alot of damage in cc, and then their squad can pull out through the lith and rapid fire, seriously hurting a terminator squad.

40 shots
80/3
40/3 wounds
40/18 kills (so after the lord probably killed 1-2, another 2 die. This continues.

[Triumph Of Man]

Another shooting gallery match,

Necrons have this one in the bag.

[Silver Wings]

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but don't Necrons seriously dislike models with say 2+ saves like Terminators? Theres lots of Terminators Dropping in everywhere. Librarians can shov Force Weapons into Lords and the the Powerfist crunching begins.

Deathwing

[Robizzle]

Deathwing

2+ saves are a bad thing for necrons, and this army does have quite a few models with 2+ save. They can ignore the monoliths, nail the Resi orb with power fists and the rest of the necrons will drop like flies until the Phase out.

You can't actually insta- kill due to T5. More importantly, you'll have to kill the lord an average of 4 times, before he fails both his natural WBB and his lith WBB.

[The_Outsider]

Necrons

The monoliths are going to keep the warriors out of combat where they can hit the terminators with a lot of shots.

Plus the lords with their staff of lights will be able to fend of a squad on his own if anyone gets too close, the deathwing will really have to work for their kills.

[tiaxrulesall]

necrons

-liths can't be hurt, they keep warriors out of CC, and termies die to sheer volume of shots

-the lords can't be targeted, as they will probably be somewhere in the warrior squad that can't be reached by a first turn charge, and that's all they're going to get.
