Tactics: Necrons

Flayed One Packs

I know this unit has been talked about, but I want to talk about them further in there flaws and, if any, strengths.

In regards to the Flayed Ones, They are perhaps the worst unit in this codex. Here's why:

• First: It's the same as Necron Warriors except there BS value which is one. the problem is, for an assaulter unit, it has a really low Initiative, yes it is a Necron but for low Initiative they could have changed the Save Value like a lot of other Elite units.
• Second: the deep strike rule. It really isn't needed for this unit since if you deep strike you will get shot up and just wasted a unit.and also the unit does not move after deep striking nor assault either.
• Third: No transports. Because of this, it makes it really hard to get this unit around without losing models in the processes.
• Fourth: No benefits to Resurrection Orb. this downgrades the unit even more because of this.

• Fifth: Where is the Weapons? I don't see it in the codex or the faq's, and is there one or two weapons? I guess we won't know until the 6th edition codex comes out. 

The only good thing that is with this unit is the Infiltrate special rule because you can move the unit closer to assault but that depends how close you infiltrate to the enemy.

Even so, I'll not pay $45 for 5 of these barely useful units.
