Unit of the Week: Pylon

[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. Comments that do not adhere to this goal will be removed as they are not constructive to the topic.

 

This week’s unit is:

 

 

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:

 

• How many do you include in your list?

• Do you use it with a Code?

• Do you make use of the Phase Shift Generator ability with other units?

• Do you build you list around this unit?

• DO you deploy it with your army or make use of t he Teleportation Matrix?

 

Now over to you!

Pylon.

 

Use it to kill knights, those obnoxious Tau super battle suits, super heavy tanks and generally anything else that's ridiculously large.

 

That's about it.
