Editing Warhammer 40,000/4th Edition Tactics/Necrons (section)

===Elites===
*'''Flayed Ones''' - Can Infiltrate or Deep Strike. Forces foes to take a LD test or hit them on 6s. Are essentially marines with 2xCCW. Meh. On paper they seem like an interesting choice, once they hit the table top they will never surprise you with anything other than a bland performance as a speed bump. With the plethora of leadership 10 units their Terrifying Visage ability is guaranteed to pretty much never work, unless they are working in tandem with Pariahs, and if you're taking Pariahs, why bother with Flayed Ones, who don't pierce armor and only have S4? Damn shame, because they certainly look awesome. They work a lot better in DoW, and it gives them some pretty cool effects.
*'''Immortals''' - Bigger, tougher (T5) shootier (S5 assault 2 guns) and more expensive Warriors. Most armies will have at least one big unit of these guys.  A resilient (even for Necrons) point and click unit.  Walk, shoot and watch things die. They have the same chances of getting back up from We'll Be Back rolls, just with T5. S10 shots will deny them their WBB roll, but that's fairly uncommon and rather wasteful. Beware of power weapons, especially power fists; Immortals aren't much better than Warriors in assault and the fist will eat them for breakfast. Turns things like Gaunts and Guardsmen to mush and causes Tactical Space Marine squads to shit bricks. Keep them out of assault.
*'''Pariahs''' - Fearless Immortals with Warscythes. They knock all nearby enemies to LD 7. And force psykers to take LD tests. Sounds awesome, right? Pity they're not "Necrons" and, as such, don't benefit from all the cool special wargear and rules. They tend to get shot to pieces before making it within 12" of the enemy... And they're also horridly expensive. Easily the best H2H unit in the Necron book, if they make it there. Great at chopping up Tyranid Synapse creatures, Hammernators and psykers. Pariahs are a real situational bunch so it's a good idea to think if you do need a slow, psyker hunter squad to go in your army, otherwise you could invest the points elsewhere.
