I went to a 1k point store tournament a while back, about 20 people there, and imo a very weird thing happened.
As people arrived, their names and armys were written on a bit of paper, and they were given an opponent and told to get started (only 4 table and it was a knockout). By the time my name was down all the table weres in use, so I had to wait for one of those games to finish. Naturally I peered at the bit of paper to see who I may be up against, as it turns out, lots of other people did (hardly surprising).
Here's where it gets weird.
As I was chatting to the other people waiting I started to hear murmerings around the room along the lines of "oh shit, theres a necron army here". No mention at all of the giant horde of Nids (the eventual winner), the daemons who were playing at the time and who tabled their first opponent loosing I think one monster and 1 small unit. It was all mumerings about what they could possibly do about the crons. Tbh it did put an evil smile on my face, and once I realised it was happening I may have helped it along a bit.
Are Necrons really that feared, or do you think it was just that people were afraid of what they didn't know. As the day progressed a couple of the people I played really had no clue about the necron abilitys... I've never seen someones face change so fast when what he thought were harmless strength four weapons blew up his landraider.
Blimey, turned into a bit of a rabble, but are necrons overpowered, or is it just they were getting worked up for no reason.
