Rogue Trader Baby!




This Saturday is another Rogue Trader at Fantasy Books and Games and since my nids are not painted I will have to play one of my other armies.  Since I brought orks last time, and guard the time before, I decided to bring my Necrons.   Here is the list

Hq
Overlord- MS scarabs, Semp weave, Res orb, Phase shifter, Warscythe                                
Overlord- MS scarabs, Semp weave, Res orb, Phase shifter, Warscythe

                Cryptek- Destru                               

Troops
10 Immortals                                     
10 Immortals                                     
15 Warriors                                        

Heavy Support
DoomScythe                                     
Annihilation Barge                                                                          
2 spyder- 2 gloom prism                               

Fast Attack
5 Scarabs                                            
6 Scarabs                                            
Heavy destroyer                             

Fort
Aegis defense line with quad    

Usually I have some wraiths and ghost arcs but they are not painted so no luck there.  I really don’t like the heavy destroyer since it is an easy killpoint I will put it in reserve hoping that I can kill something befeore it comes in and gives away first blood. The way I play it is that the overlords go with the immortals each with a cryptek and then the lord goes with the big squad of warriors hunkered down behind the defense line.
Another option is to bring the storm lord while droping the destroyer and adding a couple of solar pulses.  In the end I just might do that since I won’t have a single model unit to give first blood.
I could also drop the destroyer and split out the warriors and add a few more to give me more troop…. So many choices so little time…
Let me know what you think.  I will take suggestions up till Sat morning when I have to print out the list and party.
