I took my Novokh out for a spin in a simple friendly. The win conditions we set for ourselves was simple:
- My opponent’s goal was to wipe out 3/4’s of my army
- My goal was to wipe out half of his (my opponent was playing roughly 500 points of Custodes)
- First to reach their goal wins
We weren’t really prepared and I honestly missed out on using a lot of the abilities that make the Novokh deadly in melee which prompted me to go through the Necron Codex to pick out key abilities I need to employ in future games:
Dynastic Code: Awakened by Murder
- +1 to charge rolls
- When charging, being charged at or in a Heroic Intervention units gain a +1 AP penetration for melee attacks
- Select both directives when employing Protocol of the Hungry Void
Dynastic Stratagem: Blood Rites
For the measly cost of 1 CP, add +1 Attack to models in melee
Dynastic Warlord Trait: Blood-Fuelled Fury
Warlord melee attacks inflicts bonus +1 mortal wound for unmodified wound rolls of 6.
Command Protocol: Protocol of the Hungry Void
- Unmodified melee wound rolls of 6 get +1 AP
- When charging, being charged or in a Heroic Intervention melee attacks get +1 to Strength
That’s all from me today! Hope everyone’s having an awesome time this Christmas; happy hobbying!
