Still thinking cap wounds per phase is lazy but I'll take to get 3 wound 4 plus too wound termies. My deathwing are definitely viable.only have to worry about movement now...

Someone who has a necron codex can you tell me if the Hexmark Destroyer is unique or can I take 3 in a list?

book is in hand... feel free to take 3
he doesn't seem very strong though... kinda fun model but not sure it's very competitive

On another note, what do people think of the Monolith? Sure it being a Lord of War really hampers things but the armor save means it will be getting a 5 or 6 up against the vast majority of anti-tank weapons and the portal of exile funnily enough makes it a viable charging unit.

Hexmark seems... not great sadly, because he's got a cool ass model.
I'm disappointed in the monolith honestly. The flyers do a better job of moving units. C'tan are better for same points, and Silent King eats LoW slots in a lot of armies. But hey, at least it's still better than the Obelisk

But hey, at least it's still better than the Obelisk The Silent King would go into a Supreme Command Detachment like with Primarchs or Daemon Primarchs.

Silent king is the first supreme commander slot... so free slot CP wise at least, and if warlord (and has to be cuz silent king) is giving you the battalion slot for free... so in that case I'm thinking the monolith COULD work, as you're just down 3 CP for taking it.
I agree that the gate isn't fantastic... but 24 T8 wounds with a 2+ and living metal is pretty tough. four death rays and a whip are pretty nice guns and the auto-hitting six attacks in melee at S8 -3AP damage 3 are kinda funny. I think the new model is pretty ace, I just honestly wish it would have had even a 5+ invul at that cost.

ugh... plasmacytes not part of the destroyer unit anymore... that's a hard pass as it was lascannon bait before at least... a buff isn't worth a 1/6 chance of killing such an expensive model!
that convergence of dominion though... I do not get the value at all in this... 120 points for a leadership buff?

I think the new model is pretty ace, I just honestly wish it would have had even a 5+ invul at that cost. Depends on how many AP-4 or -5 weapons you run into. Of course the main benefit of the Monolith is that it can hide in orbit first turn, drop down, blast the things that would damage it the most and then go about it's business.
It's a lot like the tactic of deep striking large Inceptor squads. If they were on the board from the beginning they would get shot up because they are a large threat. But since they're in deep-strike they always get at least one turn of shooting at full strength no matter who goes first.

Out of curiosity I had the Silent King pegged at about 450-550 pts, what did he end up being?

450 on the nose. Unfortunately the imprisoned C'Tan on his throne can't do any powers.
As for his buffs, they're all heavily slanted towards warriors, immortals, lychguard and praetorians.

As an aside it looks like we aren't going to be getting a full range update (for now at least). Because if you look at the unit pictures in the codex, all the named characters aside from the Silent King and Illminor have their old models.
Same for the Lokhust lord, lord, Overlord (I guess the Indomitus Overlord could be a limited edition model or something), Deceiver, Nightbringer and the normal destroyers.

Questions: 1. How many scarabs are max unit? 2. How many Spyders are max unit?
3 how many points for each individual?
