I use them in the Awakened Dynasty, give the Skorpekh Lord the Enhancement that gives them Stealth, and there's The Hungry Void Stratagem, if you wanna wound Marines on 2+. Good stuff.

I think this is the way if you really want to play them. The problem is that you could do the same thing with Wraiths and end up with a better unit for a similar price. The Wraiths having access to both invulnerable saves and FnP while Skorpekhs have neither is a big deal.

@@liveac3694 Yeah, this is true on paper. However, i've had more success and more fun playing Skorpekhs than Wraiths, so they're staying. I'm not a competitive player, so my main focus is not to max stats.

@@vernpwns4143 I like them as well. The Skorpekh Lord is among my favorite minis. If we are lucky, perhaps the upcoming balance changes will make them more competitive?

I find it sad that for all the Annihilation Legion's obsession with movement, Hypercrypt does it better and with more options.

I loved the Skorpekhs in 9th. They were amazing elite killers and even better vehicle killers when their weapons were seperate, not to mention way cooler to have the Reapblades and Threshers seperate. Nowadays they're kinda meh. I mean, I get that they aren't supposed to be vehicle killers, but to see them reduced to be elite killers only was a huge letdown. Beyond that, they feel significantly less tanky now than they did before, even though their toughness went up, so the few times I've used them, they just got disintegrated without doing anything, or immediately after they killed a 5 man squad of marines or something similar. They should have at the very least given them a strike and sweep profile, one for anti elite and one for anti light infantry, would have given them a bit more of a purpose than being essentially expensive marine killers.

I like your idea with the Hypercrypt ... I feel like anything you can do to get these guys into short range charges and warp them around to avoid enemy range attacks is a great way to play them

Rate Em. Absolutely Rate them. Especially with a Skorp Lord. They can be tricky to move up the board but now that they have rerolls to hit with a charge you just get so much in. They work well in every detachment aside from C.Court and get some synergy with each. VoD and +1 to hit in Awakened Dynasty, reroll charges and 6" consolidate in A.Legion, Near Guaranteed charges in Hypercrypt, and 5+ crits in the Obeiscance Phalanx via strat you can fish for to punch up ans absolutely demonlish an objective. I love em and think theyre the most B+ unit in our army.

a unit of skorps in the obeisance phalanx can have access to 5+ lethal hits, which is epic given that they get rerolls on the charge still think this dynasty is being slept on a little bit

I like them in the Awaken Dynasty. The can get a extra Strength and Veil of Darkness. Plus Eternal Revenant incase you move them up too far and the unit gets cleared.

I like them thematically. They're not at all optimal I think (Wraiths dominate them at anything besides killing and even there I don't think they're outstanding), but that's more Wraiths/C'tan being stupidly good than Skorpeks being bad. And just looking at them I get why they were the poster boys of 9th. If they gained a point of strength, or maybe if Lethal Hits on the lord was replaced with Sustained Hits to better work with the Plasmacyte? Then we'd be cooking!

Skorpeks fall into the category of GW fails; while it's not a bad stat line, it is yet another unit that is balanced only against it's own army index. Points cost is too high for such a squishy unit, and good luck finding a Skorpek Lord to lead them due to no model availability (yet another GW fail). The kit is easy to build and the models look cool enough, although not in my top 5 necron models.

Considering that they can kill Magnus or Angron on the charge, or least leave them with very low wounds, in ANY detachment (dont even need the Lord for that), i highly rate them :D They are not as good as other melee units from other codices in the sense that they rarely do overkill. But they hurt enough!

The best detatchment for them is the Lychguard one. They absolutely slap with that lethal hits on 5’s with re-rolls

I’ve got to agree with your rating. 300 points is too much for a full unit, I’d rather have a C’tan. I’ll use them in more casual games though, especially in Hypercrypt with a Monolith, or in Awakened Dynasty.

The main problem is that your rival, could have a list with 4 dreadnoughts and 3 tanks, my last rival, was using a list like that, and it will be near imposible for them to take down that kind of list. A void dragon its.cheaper and more resilient. But i will keep using them, its like lichguard, they are suboptimal, but i like to use them

Unfortunately, they can be removed easily. I miss some extra Layer of Defense, Like invul or FNP. And their leader is way to expensive. Instead of the leader I pick up three extra Modells for the Same costs.

Just tested a 6 man squad in the Hypercrypt. Sooo decent!! Really, beside the Monolith the best unit on the field. The eternity gate plus the charge Strategem is awesome! Yes, the Strat costs a lot but it’s worth! Thought it’s just a test for one game. But it went so good, that other units will be kicked out next time. For example the DA

GW likes to get rid of datasheets if they don't have an official model. In this case every 3rd Skorpekh is clearly carrying a larger two handed version of the Hyperphase blade which used to be Dmg 3, so a unit of 6 has 2 WYSIWYG models but GW decided to make the entire unit have the same weapon characteristics, probably to make their rules simple, but not simpler. (We're not idiots, we know how to identify which model has the dmg 3 version) And honestly, since Necrons dont have sergeants or grenades, I dont see why they couldnt keep thier 1-2 dmg 3 2 handed Swords...(less attacks, 8 Str, AP -3 with dmg 3 is fine considering we lack access to keywords like smoke, grenades and dont even have a sergeant that some factions can equip with a different weapon...) As far as Anniliation Legion goes, I really liked the White Dwarf Version of the detachment and it would have been cool if they ported it over to 10th edition sincethey released it too late into 9th edition...

I love the models still, but in 10th they're just tragically overcosted for what they do. I took them into an RTT last weekend, and they proved absolutely useless, even charging out of a Monolith using Hypercrypt. They either need to get a LOT cheaper (and that includes the Skorpekh Lord) or they need to become a lot more murderous. Because for their points, they're not survivable and they don't hit very well against anything tougher than a marine. And that's just plain sad
