Warhammer 40K Caledonian Revolutions 2015

So hadd a good game against 5 Imperial Knight list. The Necrons were able to shrug off most of the firepower but struggled to do anything at range themselves. However the warscythe unit was amazing - cleaved through three knights on their own and won me the game. Hitting before two of the knights who had power fists helped, and the knights died before they could stomp the unit. Strength D and stomp are only really scary if he rolls a six - removed two wraiths with one stomp!

This is the list I tried:

Decurion
Reclamation Legion:
Zahndrek
2 x 10 Warriors, 1 with Ghost Ark
5 Immortals - gauss
3 tomb blades - nebuloscopes
10 Lychguard - war scythes
8 Lychguard - shields and swords
Canoptek Harvest:
6 Wraiths - 5 whip coils
3 scarabs
Spyder
Royal Court:
Overlord - warscythe, res orb, veil of darkness
Lord - solar staff
Orikan

Didn't use the veil, might drop it. Solar staff was good and kept the warscythe unit alive for a turn. Wraiths held up a knight for a turn but didn't do much else. Shield and sword unit similarly was a bit useless in thus game but soaked some firepower with their 3++ and were alive end game. Orikan was not that great this time- even empowered he only glances a knight on a 6 but was fun with him going toe to toe with one, trading blows until he ran away!

Zahndrek's abilities were nice, used reroll 1's when shooting then switched to fearless/ IWND or furious charge later on. Not convinced he's needed though.

The decor ion is worth it though, survivability is great and the three small units it means you have to take (scarabs, tomb blades, immortals) can be holding objectives/ turboing to seize while the rest of the stuff does the fighting.
