NECRONS
The Necron dynasties benefit from the nigh-on supernatural technologies that once saw them dominate the galaxy, perhaps the most unsettling of which are their reanimation protocols. Should a Necron be slain, its body becomes wreathed in an eerie glow. Crawling limbs reattach. Sundered torsos and smashed skulls reform amidst emerald sparks. Witch lights flare back to life within dead eye-lenses and the Necron rises again, shambling back into their battle line. Those Necrons too catastrophically damaged to reform vanish instead, teleported away to their tombs for repair.
If your Army Faction is NECRONS, at the end of your Command phase, each unit from your army with this ability that is on the battlefield activates its Reanimation Protocols and reanimates D3 wounds. Each time such a unit reanimates a wound:- If that unit contains one or more models with fewer than their starting number of wounds remaining, select one of those models; that model regains one lost wound
- If all models in that unit have their starting number of wounds, but that unit is not at its Starting Strength, one destroyed model is returned to that unit with one wound remaining.
- Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit. - Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.
MORTAL WOUNDS AND NORMAL DAMAGE
When resolving attack dice, if those attacks inflict a mixture of both mortal wounds and normal damage, resolve all of the normal damage first, then resolve all of the mortal wounds.
- That model has the INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM keyword and is within a terrain area.
- That model is not fully visible to the attacking model due to one or more intervening terrain features and/or one or more intervening obscuring terrain areas (see below).
Each time a ranged attack targets a unit that has the benefit of cover against it, worsen the BS characteristic of that attack by 1.
The stealthiest warriors can evade the attentions, and the bullets, of their foes.
If every model in a unit has this ability, each time a ranged attack targets that unit, that unit has the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08).Some weapons are designed to root enemy formations out of entrenched positions.
Each time an attack is made with an [IGNORES COVER] weapon, the target cannot have the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08), including from rules that give a model or unit the benefit of cover (e.g. Stealth).The most potent weapons strike with such power that they make a mockery of armour and can cleave through several foes.
Each time an attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon results in a critical wound, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the D characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks.Mortal wounds inflicted by [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each critical wound; any remaining mortal wounds inflicted by that attack are lost.
The NECRONS keyword is used in the following Necrons datasheets:
The INFANTRY keyword is used in the following Necrons datasheets:
The CHARACTER keyword is used in the following Necrons datasheets:
The NOBLE keyword is used in the following Necrons datasheets:
- While a friendly model is within engagement range of one or more enemy models, those models – and the units they belong to – are engaged with each other.
- While a unit contains no engaged models, that unit is unengaged.
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
BEFORE MOVING: Make an advance roll by rolling one D6.
AFTER MOVING:
- Your unit must be unengaged.
- Until the end of the turn, unless otherwise stated, your unit is not eligible to declare a charge or start an action.
Many deadly weapons can inflict fatal injuries on any foe, no matter their resilience.
Each time an attack made with a [LETHAL HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, you can choose for that attack to automatically wound the target.
|
- Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
- One group for each CHARACTER model.
- One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
- Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
- If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
- No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
- CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
- Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.

- Advance roll
- Charge roll
- Damage roll
- Hazard roll
- Hit roll
- Save roll
- Wound roll
- A roll to determine the number of attacks generated with a weapon.
TARGET: That unit or model.
EFFECT: You re-roll that roll. If you are rolling more than one dice together, select one of those dice to re-roll (excluding charge rolls, which you must re-roll in full).
- If that roll succeeds, that unit does not become battle-shocked.
- If that roll fails, that unit, and each model in it, is battle-shocked.
While a unit is battle-shocked:
- The Objective Control (OC) characteristic of all of its models is modified to ‘-’ (02.02).
- Its controlling player cannot target that unit with stratagems (15).
- It is not eligible to start an action (16), and any action it has started cannot be completed.
TARGET: That unit.
EFFECT: That battle-shock roll is automatically successful.
RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this stratagem more than once per battle.
Other models and units can be either visible or fully visible to the observing model, as shown below. Note that terrain applies additional rules to visibility (13.07).
EFFECT: Your unit shoots as described in Making Attacks (04).
WHILE SHOOTING:
- You can only target one visible enemy unit within 24" of your unit (and only if it is an eligible target).
- Each attack only hits on an unmodified hit roll of 6 (irrespective of the attacking weapon’s BS characteristic or any modifiers).
- You cannot re-roll hit rolls.
TARGET: One friendly unengaged unit (excluding TITANIC units).
EFFECT: Your unit shoots using snap shooting.
EFFECT: Your unit is set up as described in Set Up (03.02).
BEFORE MOVING: Your unit is set up as described in Set Up (03.02).
WHILE MOVING: Set up your unit wholly within the set-up distance of one or more battlefield edges and more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units.
- Before the Third Battle Round: While doing so, no models can be set up within your opponent’s deployment zone.
TARGET: One friendly unit that is in strategic reserves (excluding AIRCRAFT).
EFFECT: Your unit makes an ingress move (20.04).
RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this stratagem during the first battle round.
TARGET: One friendly unengaged unit within 12" of one or more enemy units. You can only select a VEHICLE unit if it is a CHARACTER/WALKER unit.
EFFECT: Resolve a charge with your unit (11.02). While doing so, before making the charge roll, you must select one of the following modes:
- Leap to Defend: When selecting charge targets, you can only select enemy units that made a charge move this phase and are within the maximum distance.
- Into the Fray:
- When making the charge roll, if the result is greater than 6 (after modifiers), change it to 6.
- When selecting charge targets, you can select any enemy units that are within 6" of your unit and within the maximum distance.
When a model is destroyed, first resolve any rules that are triggered when it is destroyed, then it is removed from the battlefield. If any such rules apply, and if the model was destroyed as the result of an attack, unless otherwise stated, those rules are only resolved and that model is only removed after the attacking unit’s attacks have been resolved. Unless otherwise stated, destroyed models and units cannot use abilities or be selected or targeted by rules.
Some rules only trigger if an enemy model or unit was destroyed by you, or by a model or unit from your army. This means that the enemy model or unit was destroyed by an attack made by a model from your army, or by a player rule you have. Enemy models or units that are destroyed by any other means are not destroyed by you, or by a model or unit from your army.
Precision attacks can pick high-value targets out in a crowd.
While resolving attacks made with one or more [PRECISION] weapons, at the start of the Allocation Order step (05.03), if the target unit contains one or more CHARACTER models visible to one or more of the attacking models, the active player can select one allocation group that contains one of those visible CHARACTER models. If they do, until those attacks are resolved, or until that CHARACTER group is destroyed (whichever happens first), that CHARACTER group is the current allocation group.TARGET: That CHARACTER unit.
EFFECT: Select one CHARACTER model in your unit. Until the end of the phase, that model’s melee weapons have the [PRECISION] ability.
Those possessed of lightning-fast reactions may strike before the opponent can react.
While every model in a unit has this ability, that unit is a Fights First unit.See the Resolve Fights First Combats step in the Fight phase (12.04).
TARGET: One friendly unit that is eligible to fight.
EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, your unit has the Fights First ability and it must be the next unit you select to fight (12.04).
The NECRONS, INFANTRY and CHARACTER keywords are used in the following Necrons datasheets:
TARGET: One NECRONS INFANTRY CHARACTER model from your army that was just destroyed. You can use this Stratagem on that model even though it was just destroyed.

RESTRICTIONS: Each model can only be targeted with this Stratagem once per battle.
- Unengaged and made an advance move this turn.
- Has one or more [ASSAULT] weapons.
WHILE SHOOTING: You can only select [ASSAULT] weapons to make attacks with.
AFTER SHOOTING: Until the end of the phase, your unit is not eligible to start an action.
Folding stocks, shortened barrels or lightweight construction enable some weapons to be easily fired on the move.
Units containing one or more models with an [ASSAULT] weapon can shoot using assault shooting (10.05).The NECRONS and CHARACTER keywords are used in the following Necrons datasheets:
TARGET: One NECRONS unit from your army.
EFFECT: Until the end of the turn, ranged weapons equipped by models in your unit have the [ASSAULT] ability. In addition, if a NECRONS CHARACTER is leading your unit, until the end of the phase, you can re-roll Advance rolls made for your unit.
TARGET: One NECRONS unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot this phase.
EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack that targets a unit within half range, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. If a NECRONS CHARACTER is leading your unit, until the end of the phase, you can re-roll the Hit roll for that attack instead.
TARGET: One NECRONS CHARACTER unit from your army that was within 6" of that NECRONS unit when it was destroyed.
EFFECT: After the attacking unit has resolved its attacks, your unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but it must target only that enemy unit when doing so, and can only do so if that enemy unit is an eligible target.
TARGET: One NECRONS unit from your army that has not been selected to fight this phase.
EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of melee weapons equipped by models in your unit.

(this is not cumulative with any other modifiers that improve Armour Penetration].
Mighty heroes fight at the forefront of battle.
Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it.Unless otherwise stated, each bodyguard unit can only have one leader unit and one support unit attached to it.
TARGET: One Leader unit from your army and one friendly Bodyguard unit within 6" of it that it could normally be attached to.
EFFECT: Select one of your Leader unit’s Leader abilities. Until the start of your next Command phase, that Bodyguard unit is treated as being led by that Leader unit for the purposes of that Leader ability.
RESTRICTIONS: Once you target a unit with this Stratagem, that unit cannot be targeted with it again until your next Command phase.
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
BEFORE MOVING: Select fall-back mode:
- Ordered Retreat: If your unit is not battle-shocked, you can select this mode.
- Desperate Escape: Otherwise, you must select this mode. Make a hazard roll for each model in your unit (06.03).
- Desperate Escape: Each model that is moved can be moved through enemy models.
- Your unit must be unengaged.
- Until the end of the turn, unless otherwise stated, your unit is not eligible to shoot, declare a charge or start an action.
- Desperate Escape: If your unit is not battle-shocked, you must make a battle-shock roll for your unit (01.07).
Weapons powered by unstable and dangerous energy sources pose a substantial risk to the wielder and those that stand beside them.
Each time a unit is selected to shoot or selected to fight, after that unit has resolved all of its attacks, make a number of hazard rolls (06.03) for that unit equal to the number of [HAZARDOUS] weapons you selected in the Select Weapons step.TARGET: That unit or model from your army.
EFFECT: You re-roll that roll, test or saving throw.
TARGET: The unit from your army that Battle-shock test was just taken for (even though your Battle-shocked units cannot normally be affected by your Stratagems).
EFFECT: Your unit is treated as having passed that test instead, and is not Battle-shocked as a result.
High-explosive rounds can fell several warriors in a single blast, but firing them too close to comrades is unwise.
Each time you gather attack dice for a [BLAST] weapon, add one additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down).If this ability takes the form [BLAST X], each time you gather attack dice for such a weapon, add X additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down) instead.
TARGET: One unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot this phase.
EFFECT: Select one model in your unit that is equipped with a weapon with the [BLAST] ability.

TARGET: Your NECRONS WARLORD.
EFFECT: For each of your NECRONS units in Reserves, that Reserves unit’s Reanimation Protocols activate.
Some units make their way to battle via tunnelling, teleportation, high-altitude descent or other extraordinary means that allow them to appear suddenly in the thick of the fighting.
During the Declare Battle Formations step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can set it up in Reserves instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models. If a unit with the Deep Strike ability arrives from Strategic Reserves, the controlling player can choose for that unit to be set up either using the rules for Strategic Reserves or using the Deep Strike ability.- Unit can be set up in Reserves instead of on the battlefield.
- Unit can be set up in your Reinforcements step, more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models.
Employing fractal corridors, dolmen gates and ancient translocation science, the Necrons are able to phase in and out of existence. Nowhere is safe for the terrified foe as mechanoid hunters appear from unfolding planar lattices to slaughter or escape retribution into gulfs of darkness, only to materialise elsewhere to kill anew.
At the end of your opponent’s turn, you can select a number of NECRONS units from your army (excluding units that are within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units). The maximum number of units you can select depends on the battle size, as follows:

In addition, ranged weapons equipped by NECRONS VEHICLE and NECRONS MOUNTED models (excluding TITANIC models) from your army have the [ASSAULT] ability.The fury of the Destroyers and – by extension – of the cursed legion is not a wild or reckless thing. It is rather a ruthlessly methodical annihilation of the enemy, in which the Destroyers take the lead while ripples of their strange madness roll out to infect nearby Necrons and goad them, too, to greater efforts of tireless murder.

Countless worlds across the galaxy harbour quiescent Necron technology, buried beneath the surface or mistaken for mere xenoarchaeological ruins. Whether part of an awakening tomb world’s defences, phased beneath the crust of a planet to empower the Cryptek’s conquest or perhaps the very objects they seek, these strange engines can be roused to wakefulness. Linked in an interdimensional matrix, their ancient energy cores can be vampirically bled to empower the Crypteks’ arcane technologies as well as their artificial and servile constructs.
