| i love the doom scythe, but it has one fundamental flaw. it has a very week AV of 11 and a short range on its death ray. I've found a few ways to manage this but none that really make me happy.
#1 using the storm lord to black out the map...
#2 double solar pulse to keep them out target selection.
#3 DS - pop the death ray and die.
any other ideas would be much appreciated | |

| I've been in the same boat on how to get it to work in 5th. Right now your best bet is your option 2 i think. Imo makes your turn night fight also so the issue of having to roll for night fight really limits the uses the Doom scyth has. Also the DS - get 1 shot and die is kind of a waste of the 175 points your paying for it. I also think you may have to play them like you do the lord on the barge (turbo and prep for shinanigans in turn 2.) | |

| Don't have the necron codex, but I listen to alot of podcasts that reviewed it, doesn't the doom scythe have that piece of gear that makes it armor 14 until it takes a penetrating hit? That would nullify alot of problems for you I would think. | |

In fact it does not. This is where the problem lies. It hits like a mac truck, but gets smashed like an ant. With all the 6th roumers comming out, it's starting to look good for this guy | |
