why necrons over space marines

[hero]

hey my friend can't decid on an army and he has narrowed it down to 2 choices necrons and marines and was wondering if any one could tell him why he should do necrons

[aetherguy881]

They stand back up and have no cruddy pistols; they own in shooting!

Necrons are as tough as marines, and then some.

Nercons:
Pros:
-solid overall army
-resilent
-mix of assault and shooting
-balanced
-easy to paint
-wwb
-teleportation
-overall, a powerful, well balanced army
Cons:
-can be boring
-phase out
-many armies similar

Overall, just tell him that Necrons are a solid, resilent, balanced army with good special rules and easy to paint.

Cheers!

you can tell him that necrons always win

that there are no beings in the entire universe that could even threaten the everlasting kingdom of the star gods and their monstrous armies that swarm from the ancient tombs to seek and hervest the whole life of the...

not only for their war abillities but also their background is thrilling

(marines are just borring to me)

okay thanks a lot i hope with this info he will finaly decide

i have noticed that in some areas a lot of people do not like to play against necrons because they feel they are unbalanced.

I personally have only seen 2 battles against necrons and neither time did I see the necron player even break a sweat.

Even people that don't play the game have said that they are unbalanced...
But I have no problem with a challenge and will accept it gladly when it comes my way.

[The_Outsider]

They are called unbalanced simply because of the monolith's sheer resilience and WBB.

Both are clearly balanced out by Phase out and the necrons lack of speed (well, in the majority of the list, destroyers do clearly own).

Problem is, all Necron armies tend to look the same and have very few playing styles, that said they are cool and have lots of cool tricks to play with.

[Terraneaux]

The necron warriors are, pound for pound, some of the best troops for their points cost in the game. As far as cheesy goes, Blood Angels get the same crap on their death company but they dont fall down for the turn. Khorne gets something similar, but its for characters only.

Even the most boring Necron army lists can be some of the the most unrelenting to play against...
