Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Necrons (section)

===Fortifications===
Fortification Detachments never gain Detachment abilities, so while these have {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}}, they don't get the rules, just the keyword.


*'''[[Image:Starstele.jpg|175px|right|]] [[Convergence of Dominion]] - {{W40kKeyword|Core}}:'''  Another weird unit with unobvious advantages. This unit's role is to screw with enemy rules that require the opponent to target the nearest thing or otherwise be unable to target good targets, if there's a closer target. Like the psychic power Smite or Look out Sir, for a couple of common examples. They also block line of sight pretty well, too, for the smaller characters that would be otherwise vulnerable to things that would ignore Look Out Sir (sniper fire). Unit comes with 3, independent models which are insanely durable for cost. EACH model is T8 with 10HP, 3+ armor, and Living Metal (so, together, they are as durable as a Monolith for a third the cost). These models can't move per say, but they can be sent into deep strike mode by having a cryptek spend an action on them - so depending on your cryptek, this might be less useful. Beyond that, this unit has an aura of +2 leadership for Dynasty Core, making them leadership 12, which rarely matters for Necron things, but technically may apply if opponent goes heavy in leadership reduction modifiers or has an ability which is more effective versus low leadership (such as several psychic powers). There's also a range boost aura for command protocols that doesn't do anything due to the balance update changes to command protocols.
**So thanks to an update to the core rules, they can't be set up within 3" of other terrain, which really limits their deployment options. That said, it's still very possible to place these on the table. And do note that the other terrain limitation doesn't include other models from their unit entry (which means these can be placed within 3 inches of each other, so you could make a wall)


*'''[[Image:SentryPylon.jpg|175px|right|]] [[Sentry Pylon]] - (Forge World) {{W40kKeyword|Core}}:''' Immobile gun platforms with Deep Strike baked in. Gauss exterminators are good for flyers and ground support with two S8 AP-3 Dd6 shots at [[Awesome|+2 to hit]] (this is obviously to negate an aircraft's -1 to hit; if you fire it at an aircraft that for some reason doesn't have -1 then remember you're still capped at +1 to hit overall). Focussed Death Ray is the same cost and is more similar to the old Gauss Exterminator; only 36" compared to the Exterminator's 48", 1 shot instead of 2, but a whopping [[Awesome|S12, AP-4, Dd3+3]]. The Gauss Exterminator shoots twice, so it has a better chance of landing at least one shot, and can also land two, so the Death Ray packs a punch but it's a risk. The Heat Cannon will generally work out better than the Exterminator (at 1.75x the rate of fire and with melta damage at 18"), but it's also 25 extra points; if you take the latter you want to deepstrike in, but if you go with the Gauss Exterminator then just plonk it down during Deployment instead of waiting until turn 2. Kinda overpriced but not explicitly terrible. 


*'''[[Image:Citadel.jpg|175px|right|]] [[Tomb Citadel|Tomb Citadel Walls]] - (Legends) (Forge World):''' Contains an '''Eternity Gate''', a pair of heavy weapons (Gauss Exterminator for 25pts each or Tesla Destructors for 10pts), a docking station for one Sentry Pylon/Monolith which gives the docked unit +1S on its guns, and a Power Crucible building that gives all {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} units within 6" 5++ vs shooting and a +1 on Reanimation Protocols rolls for {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} units within the same range. Each of the four buildings explodes on a 6+ when killed, dealing D6 mortal wounds to anything within 9", which is quite dangerous, especially if you positioned your units to get the full advantage of the Crucible's rules. Costs an [[What|absolutely ludicrous 760 points, or 785/810 with the Gauss Exterminator emplacements]]. Unfortunately, this is relegated into the [[Warhammer Legends|shadow realm]] so it can't be used in matched games, but it can be a nice piece in apocalypse battles where its cost isn't that big of a problem.
