	This ominous title is well earned, as it happens. A Plasmancer is also a master in the art of weaponising the hypertechnology of the Necrons, and the plasmic lance its bears – equally deadly at range as it is in melee – is a fine example of its skills given form. Floaty and frail-looking? Yes. Super deadly at every distance? Also yes.		This ominous title is well earned, as it happens.

Floaty and frail-looking? Yes. Super deadly at every distance? Also yes.

	Hard crunch wise, the Plasmancer's main ability is basically a smite, striking at the closest enemy unit within 18", throwing 3D6 and inflicting a mortal wound for each roll of a 4+. In addition to this, and harder to make use of without throwing him in harm's way, his Lightning Aura deals 1 mortal wound to every enemy unit within 6" on a roll of a ~~6 (!!)~~ at the start of the fight phase. So don't lean on that too hard.

	9th Edition came in looking to step back the horrible mistake of removing these specializations, as the Indomitus boxed set is including a Plasmancer as a new model and the Cryptek with Canoptek Cloak has been renamed Technomancer (technically been called that since 5th, but 9th just made it their official designation). HUZZAH! Our hopes were high that this meant the other disciplines were also gaining new models. And our prayers were promptly answered when the Psychomancer and Chronomancer have joined the plastic ranks of the New-crons, looking baller as fuck.		9th Edition came in looking to step back the horrible mistake of removing these specializations, as the Indomitus boxed set is including a Plasmancer as a new model and the Cryptek with Canoptek Cloak has been renamed Technomancer (technically been called that since 5th, but 9th just made it their official designation).

	As of now, only 4 disciplines have their own individual models and rules. In general, they all share the same relatively flimsy frame but they can get help from a couple [[Cryptothralls\|murder buckets]] that won't even take up a slot. What's more, you get two Crypteks slot-free for each detachment with a NOBLE character, so their value has to be analyzed in that context.

In general, they all share the same relatively flimsy frame but they can get help from a couple [[Cryptothralls\|murder buckets]] that won't even take up a slot. With those, your opponent will find itself having to chew on 2x2 extra wounds of T5 Sv3+ (with Reanimation Protocols and Living Metal) scrap heaps before getting to the squishy center while your robot nerd remains untargettable by ranged attacks. What's more, you get two Crypteks slot-free for each detachment with a NOBLE character, so their value has to be analyzed in that context.

	Like <strike>wizards</strike> nerds, they tended to isolate themselves from the affairs of their fellow Necrontyr. Most nobles are happy to leave the Crypteks to their own devices, rather than put in the effort to actually understand how any of their shit works. Like IT, Crypteks are basically allowed to mess around as they like until their boomer bosses forget to plug in the monitor again.

	Still as an HQ if you didn't have the points to make a reclamation legion you did good to take this guy and just simply stick him to the most important unit (that would be Immortals or a huge group of Warriors) to keep them alive. Could also take a little thing that gives a 5++ against shooting.

	Chronomancers are the sub-class that likes to fuck around with time for work and pleasure. Officially the '''Harbingers of Eternity''', they are pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Guys who mess around with the flow of time in the battlefield to give their metallic buddies an advantage over their fleshy opponents. Doing stuff like slowing down incoming fire from the enemy so their own troops can just stroll past without a scratch.

	The Chronometron piece of equipment has been made their main gimmick ability. It grants one <DYNASTY> unit Charge rerolls and a 5++ invuln save for a turn. Note that his buff target does not need to be a Core unit. They also happen to move at the same pace as a certain new Destroyer Cult unit...

	Psychomancers are the subclass that prefers to mindbreak their opponents on the battlefield, mainly sowing the emotion of fear to reap a toll from the enemy. Officially the '''Harbingers of Despair''', they are sadists crazy enough to use tech that channels the ''Nightbringer'', using that visage of dread and death and sharing it around with anyone who may or may not be staring at them funny.
