    One thing to note is that the 10pt enhancement that permits a unit to fll back and shoot happens in the movement phase. this means that you can fall back with, say, your Lokhust destroyers, and then drop in your Hexmark nearby and 'boom' thy get to shoot. Nice.

    "Have not watched video yet, commenting first" played it last night with TSK and 2xDDA with a hexmark and overlord taking the -1D and rerolls. Overlord with tacyon arrow because, with that blob, everything had rerolls 1s to hit and wound, so yay tacyon. But , I also just kept ignores modifiers on as well from TSK, so I was just ruining Marines lives with no AOC and no damage reduction. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a Triarch Stalker to give ignores cover. They wouldn't have been making any saves.

    A cool use for the Merciless Reclamation stratagem might be with Orikan when he is using When the Stars Allign.
    All successful wounds are dev wounds and triple strength, add a +1 to wound and you have a great combo.

    I've run this list a few ways, Ive lost once since it came out, that was bad placements on my part, and him bringing a Harpoon knight... (dont remember the name of the knight specifically, other than it has a str 24 harpoon), First fight was vs Thousand Sons, I knocked Magnus off the table turn one. though I had to soak most of my shooting into him. it was worth it, and his army crumbled pretty quick after that. second match was knights as mentioned, 3rd was against Eldar I won that match comfortably, and the most recent was against tau, 76-62. this new detachment is def an answer to our movement woes. being able to advance and still be able to shoot has made repositioning, or outright being able to cover up to 14 in of distance more useful than any of the other detachments. As of Current, Im running Imotekh, CCB, 1 Skorp lord, 2 Lok lords, 2x6 Lokhurst destroyers, 1x3 Enigmatic Lokhurst Heavy, DDA, Triarch Stalker, Reanimator, 1 Technomancer, 6 Wraiths, Deathmarks, 10 flayed ones, im sure im forgetting a few things but the list performs admirably. especially with the Lok Lords 5+ Lethal hits, and rerolls. really makes the destroyers very punchy

Second I have had a chance to run this and the ability to move up the board and get in good angles to shoot is so massive. Third it makes some models *cough command barge cough* better and playable. But the assult on mounted like tomb blades and heavy and regular locust destroyers is so crazy i cant wait till they make this official in the app and i can make more tweeks to the army to make it that much better.

    I’ve got a game next week. I’m going to attack the centre of the board with a10 lychguard and OL with T shroud, NB and CCB. I have a feeling they will be sufficient to hold the middle. With 2 res orbs, and a reanimation strat I feel I have great survivability.
    Then I’m going to use 2x6 locknuts and lord and T-Ctan to hunt down anything that looks like it might hurt me. The fact the T Ctan will not get isolated is a massive boost. In any other detachment but HC it was often to exposed. This time it will be be getting a good amount of support.

      S6 re-rolling 1's. Ap-2. Into guards men you're killing 25 models. Into marines you're killing 10. Terminators it's about 5.
      You run into trouble with the T12+/2+ save stuff. But if needed you have the 1+ to wound.
      Which btw cost 0 CP with the lord. All backed up by a night bringer, hitting on 2, re-rolling 1's. Wounding on 2's/3's re-rolling 1's.

      ​@@WorHammer40k so it went great. I won comfortably. Opposition was not a great player. But then neither am I lol. Lychguard in this detachment are great. Very simple to use.
      This detachment; it is about denying your opposition targets. Before popping up and levelling whole units. So anything exposed get a lot of attention. With the T shroud, the Lychguard fit right in as they can jump about, and reduce LoS and get BoC. Making them tough.
      Last night it was his T3 before he was able to get a decent volley off at my scoring units.
      FYI - I did not use it last night but I think the T'Can is a MUST take for this army now. Lokhust are now super fast compared to normal C'Tan. But his ability to drop in and fire / back up in melee will be more than useful. As will the ability to stay hidden until needed.

    Well, jokes on us xD Now we got a vehicle killer list for SM Librarians and the Orks com'n busting hard. More blocking units? add 2x5 flayed cause they are cheap and have another purpose than blocking? Get a Brick of 20 Warriors with a Technomancer? Thing is, vs other lists you most likely won't need it. Think i will ignore them as best a possible and thx for the idea with the flayed ones. Did something like that in Awakened with 2x10 and a Glocktopus for +1 to hit aura and strat for +1S but this is soooo much more efficient.
    Some smol nagging ^^Reactive Reanimation if some model died in a friendly unit is from "Awakened" not "Annihilation". "Annihilation" you can activate reanimation if you bring an enemy unit below half or kill them rightaway, when a model in your unit dies you can do a 6" blood surge move for 1cp. Triarch Stalker does NOT give +1 to hit, that was last edition, he strips cover from the unit he shot at. cheers :)

    Brand new to this, so not an expert, but if you had Tomb Blades in this detachment, while using the Particle Beamers with the [Blast] and [Devastating Wounds] characteristics, couldn't you make a rapid 1st turn assault with them, target the biggest units of 20+ and use the stacking bonuses to reliably reduce the opponents' core armies, then take cover out of LoS only to try it again next turn? That's 3d6+12 hits on a 20-man squad for every 3 Tomb Blades, with strong likelihood of getting 2+ turns of value? Maybe 2 squads of 3 to target both flanks?

    I agree regarding balance - DDAs were reduced from 200 to 190, we can expect them to jump up to 225+ after this, and Lokurst Heavy Destroyers will jump up in points too, which really hurts anti-tank in other detachments (other than Canoptek Court), so Awakened Dynasty is going to take a big hit. At the very least, it will discourage other detachments from using as many vehicles, but as DDAs are already so good, it will just mean cutting out other models to get below 2000 or 1000 points, unfortunately, so it will just make Awakened Dynasty and maybe obeisance phalanx worse too - Hypercrypt can afford to take a small hit like that, but I don't think OP and AD can.

    Alright this was you guys' second chance after the obelisk video to try and convince me that you know what you're talking about. So many mistakes and so many bad takes in talking about the detachment. Make sure you know your rules before you start giving opinions guys. Please

    You’re treating the rule as if it’s always +1 to hit. The opponent knows your rule, they’re not going to put the things you’ll want to attack on the points

      Counter would probably be to get first turn and find ways to get turn 1 charges and lock up as many units in combat as possible. That enhancement only allows 1 unit to fall back and shoot and many of the units that benefit most from this detachment will be poor in melee. So World Eaters and other melee centric armies could really give Starshatter a run for its money if the Necrons player overextends or doesn't get the opportunity to make some space for itself.

    -Doom Scythe enter 2nd turn
    -Move 20" in a straight line, rotate it 90° so it face the border
    -Shoot everything it can see since it have normal Line of Sight being an [Aircraft
    -The enemy unit it shoot with its Heavy Death Ray either have 5+ crit until the end of the shooting phase or -1 to hit until your next turn
    -The enemy shoot it in its turn
    -After the 1st unit shoot it you spend 1cp, if there isn't any major treat to other unit, to use [Reactive Repositioning] to make it move 6" so it end outside the terrain
    -It goes in Strategic Reserve since, by the rules: "If, when making a Normal move, any part of an AIRCRAFT model’s base crosses the edge of the battlefield, or it cannot move a minimum of 20", that model’s move ends and it is placed into Strategic Reserves."
    -Make the enemy waste at least 2-3 units since it cannot shoot at it anymore
    -Repeat next turn

      There is an FAQ under “positioning and movement“ which asks “Can a unit with a minimum Move characteristic be affected by a rule that would cause it to move less than that minimum Move characteristic?”, the answer is No.
