Unit of the Week: Nemesor Zhandrekh & Vargard Obryon

[NTaW]

 

Welcome to the Necron Unit of the Week Series!

 

Each week a different unit will be highlighted for discussion until we have amalgamated a full list of our available options and their relevant tactics as 8th edition evolves. We already have a few previous entries but things change as FAQs and Chapter Approved books get released and we playtest new ideas so please feel free to reopen a topic when new options become relevant for discussion.

 

Please keep in mind this isn't to lament the status of featured units or compare them to others but to try and find their potential for all types of gameplay.

 

Given their common use together and in light of the recently announced novella starring this quirky pair,

 

This week’s units are:

 

 

As a loose guide, here are some questions we could answer to help out any who happen upon our metallic corner of the B&C:

 

• What synergies have you found with other units?

• Do you ever play Zahndrekh without Obryon?

• Are there any stratagems that specifically buff this unit?

• What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of this unit?

 

Now over to you!

Other than the whole 1st turn charge trick i can not see much point to either of them.

 

For 10 points more than Zahndrek you can get the stormlord who is just better

And Obryon is just an expensive lord, not really much point to him.

 

Again, this is unless you are doing the 10 Lynchguard turn 1 charge bomb, in which case it can be devistating depending on the enemy army
