Sequence valid

Every step is affordable at its stated timing and its prerequisites are met.

Execution notes

The Necron default and the best introduction to the faction. Concede distance, hold two points properly, and take improved reanimation before any weapon research — it changes every trade you make afterwards.

Adaptations

If: Opponent expanding freely
Take phase shifting and contest a third point rather than holding two.

Known weaknesses

  • Very little map control early
  • Loses to an opponent who simply takes the rest of the map and waits

Unproven build

This build was written before Dawn of War IV was released. Its timings come from provisional statistics and it has never been played.
