How to Start a Necrons Army in Warhammer 40K 10th Edition- Necron Beginner Guide to Start Collecting

This is a reupload of the video that came out about 1h ago to fix the visuals being out of sync with the audio. It was due to an error that occasionally happens with my (very basic) video editing software that I usually catch before release. I figured it was worth re-editing and uploading given that this one will hopefully be of use to people searching in the future.

thanks

aw you didnt mention their killteam box. For $65 GW retail youre getting a decent discount, one battleline and a great HQ. Even cheaper if you get it through a LGS. You could also get more value out of it if you have some extra necron legs or find a couple bits or warriors for sale. You could make a royal warden proxy with despotek and a cryptek proxy with the apprentek. Total thats roughly 200 points for at max $65.

Good to know that the kill team box for Necron as a kit of 5 immortal/deathmark plus a cryptech for a good discount.

Now that we have spruecons and sproot, we need to find a way to make every faction in the game from nothing but sprues

Thanks

Underworld gaming amd eire hobbies are discount sellers in irelamd for anyone wondering.

sees the sprue-crons

Holy shit, that’s amazing. Imma steal that as an idea for my army, lol.

I have no audio on this. Either from speakers of BT headphones.

Great vid, definitely need to go to element games for the monolith!

necron need a news figurine of the nightbringer and deceiver ...

It really feels like there is a unit missing from the combat patrol if you compare the contents to the contents of the Orks combat patrol for example.

Thank you
Be careful when handling the miniatures, the Necron sculptures are rather fragile.

I managed to find Indomitus box from my LGS i started Necrons with that

Step 1: Be the chillest person alive or be the most insufferable annoying cheating warhammer player known to man

I first got exposed to 40k about 2 years ago. Immediately fell in love with Necrons. I've been putting off actually buying stuff, but you are tempting.

I've just decided to finally get in army making and after buying fish patrol I could get my hands on, you upload this.
Perfect timing really! It'll come really handy

These are really useful and give good, practical tips and explaining the (current) meta whilst not being mad hungry for it.

I just have to say that ebay is a great source for necrons in Germany. I was able to get the contents of Combat Patrol Box for 60€ instead of the 100€ i would have to pay at third party sellers with a 20% discount

Buy a full playset of everything.
Regret nothing!
Have fun shoving 18 Wraiths with 3 Technomancers and whatever other war crimes you can think of for a month or so.

If you are new to the hobby, Wahapedia is also a great source when planning your army

I'm a beginner in living in Japan. I want a Necron Lord, but the only way to get it is to buy it on eBay through an agent. Stupidly, I ended up paying nearly $70 for shipping and handling charges. Therefore, I will modify and demote the $20 overload.

NECRONS!

how is obeisance phalanx doing? im planning to build it

When will the imperium of man use the Dragon on Mars for new and blasphemous weapons!? Would it be of any use to the Necrons? Ohh I want Hexmarks and warriors next for my collection because of a western episode I saw on the internet! Stay fly!

You gotta get all the ctan shards. Might just be me but i love them even though the models are a little... outdated in a few cases

Hi. I am a Necrons player and that is all I've ever played. I'm starting to feel weird about reanimation protocols because a lot of the time when I win I have nearly my entire army on the board. All the reanimating, regen, high saves, cover, LOS, etc. It just makes it hard to put my army down. Now I realize it's not a top tier army and this likely has a lot to do with my opponents and their armies, but it does feel kind of odd. And when I face my friend's Genestealer army he does a lot of "reinforcements", which essentially feels like reanimation. And same thing with the Tyranids. It seems like there is a ton of this in 10th.

me sitting on 7k worth of necrons

Oooo how would I get started?

Will you be doing an updated necron tier list since we have the points out now?

TrollTrader is your friend for acquiring cheap 40K models. If you're looking for cheap basic stuff like Warriors, Immortals, Overlords, Royal Wardens, Plasmancers, and Scarab Swarms then you'd be hard pressed to find better deals. Skorpekh Destroys used to be dirt cheap on there as well although I think their prices have gone up over the past month.

Outside of TrollTrader for Necrons the Combat Patrols are ok if you're new to the faction. Boarding Patrols are fantastic -- if you can find them anymore for a reasonable price. Like getting into any faction for the first time, ignore the meta talk and just get what you think is cool and interesting.

How good is the old combat patrol? I am considering starting 40k with necrons, and the combat patrol is an obvious first place, but I hesitate to get the new one it since it has Skorpekh destroyers, which I find to be rather ugly (like of all the units I have seen, I would rate them either dead last or second to dead last) and make me completely uninterested in it since about 1/3 of the money is Skorpekh destroyers.

Thank you so much for the video, I'm isolated in this hobby and I'm reasonably new. I have part of a 9th edition necron set, a few random units, and a whole lot of tyranids but tue necrons are my true passion. Thank you. This is wonderfully helpful

Returned to the game recently. I hopped in originally at end of 4th Ed when Necrons weren’t used much. Loved their ability to come back from the dead and be a lingering annoyance.

Returned a month or so ago to find out they were the last editions headline army with space marines and got A LOT of love.

So cue me grabbing two Indomitus halves and all the crypteks I could grab to bolster my older models. Gonna be busy in the next few months

A good mention that there's still weekly magazines of Warhammer Imperium that should cover near 2500 to 3000 points Necrons for a massive discount, there might be areas that are in the early numbers and some at the later numbers.

I’m thankful I started my Necrons army back in 9e with the Indomitus box, and expanded it with the Command Edition starter box. Those two boxes gave me plenty of Warriors, a half dozen Skorpekh Destroyers, and a good assortment of characters. I also appreciated that the starter boxes didn’t overlap with the 9e Necrons Combat Patrol, giving me Immortals/Death Marks, 3 Tomb Blades, and a Doom Scythe.

The Doom Scythe is virtually unplayable because of 10e’s Flyer rules, but I’m glad I got it — and at a great discount. In comparison, the 10e Necrons Combat Patrol isn’t a great value, but it’s the only option because the 9e Starters and CP boxes are gone.

The tricky thing is that 10e Necron detachments are geared toward specific unit types, whereas 9e’s dynasties had some good rules without as many restrictions. For new players, they should choose a detachment and buy for it. Don’t try to do everything. I have over 8000 points of Necrons and I still can’t fill an all Destroyer or Canoptek detachment.

Another reason to be cautious about starting/expanding a Necrons army is that Necron models aren’t the easiest to build. They can be pretty spindly and break easily if you’re not careful. Remember: Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Also, I highly recommend magnetizing the Necrons models’ bases for safe transport. Packing them in foam tends to result in breakage.

I started collecting recently. I bought ebay lots & managed to sell off enough to get lots of unpainted Necron models for free.

Love the content man!
