Hey there! I thought we could discuss a bit about the nightshroud-bomber...a unit I hardly ever see in any list. It comes with a huge bunch of points (more than necron Monolith, less than tesseract arc). Profile is not that bad: Flier, 12/12/12 4 HP. It is equipped with 5 bombs, which have also impressive profiles: S10 AP1 Bomb, Large blast, pinning, blind Has also-like all our fliers- a twinlinked tesla destructor So now my thoughts about it: - It his quite hard to crack with its armor and the amount of HP. With the new rules for penetration hits, a high number of HP is even more effective (as you wont be able to pop it directly as easy). - bombs do not scatter a lot (just 1 D6)...however, you drop them in MOVEMENT phase by moving over enemy units - dropping in the movement phase means getting still the alpha strike even if enemy has interceptor. Interceptor shoots at END of your movement phase, doesnt it? - Dropping bombs in movement phase does sadly mean they do not profit from the Stalkers TL - in 6th rulebook it clearly states you can drop a bomb at one target and shoot on another in the shooting phase, autoincluded splitfire! (however, do not know if the same in 7th) - dropping in movement phase would mean DROPPING BOMBS EVEN WHEN JINKED BEFORE. This is huge! 4+ cover save all the time and still dropping bombs? hell yeah! The last point is the most important one. That could be what gives it the edge over the doom scythe (which cant shoot its deathray after jinking). However, I do not have the 7th rulebook yet...so tell me if there is anything new in the rulebook that prevents us from dropping bombs after jinking! If there is not...nightshroud bomber could have become pretty awesome in 7th edition! |

You can field as many as you have heavy support slots. They are just an entry in a Dark Harvest army from IA12. You can field them with the same ease as tomb stalkers or acanthrites for example. |

That's what I thought. Wasn't sure since I lost my .pdf copy of IA12. I just remember multiple units in IA12 being listed as eligible to be taken with a standard Necron, non-Dark Harvest Army and I wasn't sure about the Nightshroud! |
