Necron Update
Well Be Back!
Any Necron model, save Pariahs, that is reduced to 0 wounds or would otherwise be removed as a
casualty, is instead left on the table and immediately laid down on its side to show that it is Damaged.
Damaged Necrons are ignored for unit coherency and all other purposes. They are seen as just so much
battlefield debris.
At the start of every Necron turn, Damaged Necrons may attempt to Self-Repair. Roll a D6 for every
Necron model capable of Self-Repair. On a roll of 1-3, remove the model as normal. On a roll of 4-6, the
Necron is repaired and stands back up with 1 Wound remaining.
A Necron cannot Self-Repair if it was destroyed by a close combat attack that ignores Armor saves or
any weapon whose Strength is twice the Toughness of the Necron concerned. This may be overridden
by the abilities of a Resurrection Orb if one is in range. Additionally, the Necron may not make a self
repair roll if there are no un-Damaged Necron units of the same type, but not necessarily of the same
unit, on the battlefield.
The repaired Necron immediately rejoins its parent unit placing it within coherency, should it still be on
the table and may act as normal for the remainder of the turn. Should the unit be in close combat, the
model is placed back in coherency, but it may not contact an unengaged enemy unit and does not count
as charging.
Should a Necron become Damaged during close combat and its parent unit is subsequently caught in a
Sweeping Advance, those models caught in the Advance are removed as casualties. However, those thatwere damaged during the course of close combat are left on the table. They roll for self repair as normal
at the start of the next Necron turn and, if successful, are placed standing up in the same place that they
were Damaged. Any models that Self-Repair in this way are not a new unit and act normally for the
remainder of the game.
Necron Lords
A Necron Lord does not require another Lord to be on the battlefield to attempt to Self-Repair. If Self-
Repair is successful, they stand up with 1 Wound, not their full 3. If the Lords last wound is lost to a close
combat attack that ignores Armor saves or any weapon whose Strength is twice the Lords Toughness,
then Self-Repair may not be attempted. However, the Lord may benefit from the effects of a
Resurrection Orb as normal, even one the Lord itself is carrying. If hit by several attacks simultaneously,
assume those that do not allow Self-Repair strike before those that do.
Tomb Spyders
7/28/2019 Necron Rewrite
2/21
If a Necron model is Damaged within 12 of a Tomb Spyder, it may attempt a Self-Repair roll, even if
there are no Necrons of the same type remaining on the battlefield.
Phase Out
If, at the beginning of the Necron players turn, they have no models on the field with either the Necron
or Ctan special rules, then the remaining units are removed from the table. The army is considered to
have suffered a Wipe Out!

Chronometron:
A Lord with a chronometron and any unit it has joined count as being armed with defensive grenades
and gain the Counter Attack special rule. Additionally, the Lord and its unit roll 2d6 and pick the highest
when making their Initiative test for falling back or pursuing in a sweeping advance.
Disruption Field:
During an Assault, all of the Lords attacks have the same properties as a Gauss weapon, in addition to
any other properties that might apply to the Lords attacks.
Destroyer Body:
As in Codex: Necrons.
Gaze of Flame:
Enemy units attempting to charge the Necron Lord or a unit he has joined must pass a Ld test. Should
they fail, they may not assault this turn. Additionally, for as long as the enemy unit is locked in assault
with the Lord, they suffer a -1 penalty to all Ld and Morale tests they are called upon to make.

Lightning Field:
As in Codex: Necrons.
Nightmare Shroud:
A Necron Lord may choose to use the Nightmare Shroud in the Shooting phase. It may still shoot, but
cannot run and it may still assault as normal. This ability may be activated even if the Lord is in close
combat. All enemy units with a model within 12 ofthe Lord that arent locked in close combat must
take a Morale check, suffering a penalty equal to the difference between their Leadership value and the
Leadership value of the Necron Lord. All enemy models within that range that are locked in close
combat must also pass a Ld test. Those that fail will only successfully hit on a roll of 6 in close combat
this turn.
Phase Shifter:
As in Codex: Necrons.
Phylactery:
This small device is home to a vast swarm of miniscule spider-like machines that constantly work to
repair the Lord. A Necron Lord with a phylactery and any unit he has joined benefit from the Feel No
Pain special rule. Additionally, the first time the Necron Lord is destroyed, he (and he alone) willsuccessfully self-repair on a roll of 2+ and will be returned to the battlefield with 2 wounds rather than
1. Should the Lord self-repair again after this, he will self-repair as normal.
Resurrection Orb:
As in Codex: Necrons.
Solar Pulse:
Once per game, the Solar Pulse may be activated at the start of the Necron turn. If the Night Fighting
rules are in effect, they will cease to apply during the Necron turn in which the Solar Pulse is used. If the
Night Fighting rules are not in effect, then in the following enemy turn, after the Solar Pulse is used, the
Night Fighting rules will apply to any unit firing at the Necron Lord or any unit that is fully within 12 of
7/28/2019 Necron Rewrite

the Lord. If an enemy unit cannot see the unit it wishes to target, it may choose to redirect fire at
another unit that is not affected by the Solar Pulse.
Veil of Darkness:
A Necron Lord may use a Veil of Darkness at the start of its Movement phase instead of moving
normally. The Necron Lord and up to one unit with the Necron special rule without any attached
Independent Characters within 6 of it are removed from the battlefield and are then placed back
together as a single unit anywhere on the battlefield as per the Deep Strike rules. The Veil may be used
even if enemy models are in base to base contact with the Lord or any of the Necrons that move with it,
leaving the enemy models behind. If the Lords Deep Strike movement brings it, or the unit that has
joined it, into base contact with an enemy model, then they are immediately placed into assault with
that unit. In such a case, the Lord and his unit count as charging that turn.

Deep Strike:
A Monolith deep strikes as normal. However should it end up within 1 of an enemy model, it does not
suffer a deepstrike mishap. Instead, the enemy models are moved the minimum distance necessary to
allow the Monolith to be placed on the table with 1 of space between it and any enemy models.
Additionally, should it end up on impassible terrain or a friendly model, then reduce the scatter distance
