Nooo ya think? Yeah, that was actually my first thought the second I saw the Wraith's buffed stats. I really can't understand this change save for making us buy the Wraiths now. They have more wounds than the Lychguard did at full strength, they have the same toughness, the invulnerability and feel no pain. To top it off, they're also faster on the board and have a detachment that significantly benefits them more than the one of the Lychguard. Oh, the Technomancer's Canoptek Control Node benefits them directly, no Thralls needed.

biggest issue with hypercrypt is they have 0 battle tactic strats making the lords ability basically a reroll or go to ground for cover... so my guess is the royal warden will see a lot more play... kinda sad cause I really like the overlord with scythe... I do think it is the best detachement to make use of imhoteks abilities, it is super heavy on cp so his +1 cp will be good and teleporting him to inflict max dmg with his storm might also be an option.

If they wanted to nerf the unkillable brick style they should’ve made reanimators aura 6 or 5 inches, and change the reanimation protocol to a once per turn deal, it would definitely make it harder to stay on field but it wouldn’t be so bad that it’s unplayable. The change the to thralls and technomancer unit attachment is also weird, I get buffing warriors makes the brick more optional but wraiths really don’t need the 5 up feel no pain. The deepstrike shenanigans are interesting but can easily become annoying as units blink in and out of combat, models heal off table and units with living metal self heal. So it can arguably feel worse to fight than the brick because they’ll back out of combat and heal before dealt with unless you put even more resources into killing those units instead of focusing on objectives. Also I don’t wanna paint a monolith, they’ve been awful for a long time and why should I get one for an army if they make it bad again in a few patches, also warriors were you’re bread and butter for the Necrons, they were decent and most players had them because of how many boxes they were put in, making barrier to entry low. These changes feel like if tyranids couldn’t have they’re swarms or tau their medium crisis suits, warriors were the main appeal to new players making them this bad and making sub par models good feels like they’re trying to milk my wallet. I’m lucky enough to have friends to continue playing 9th edition with but it’s sad to see this huge of a immediate shift in play style

Personally I acknowledge that changes were necessary, but a sixfold nerf to RP is staggering and giving me flashbacks to 8th when lokhusts were the only thing that survived long enough to proc it and we paid through the nose for a rule we never actually got to use. And then 9th happened and lokhusts were punished for the crime of being the only viable build. Points costs will out, but if they continue to charge us extra for a rule we are once again much less likely to survive to proc and do so IMMEDIATELY after incentivizing the Silvertide style of army... it's REALLY infuriating, and I can see the writing on the wall for wraiths to be the next unit for the punishment box after GW overcompensates with this slate of nerfs. Are all the nerfs bad? Hardly. The technomancer and max buffed rp on lychguard WAS ridiculous. Ironically, now it'll be similar now with canoptek court wraith buffstacks, and wraiths are meaner in melee and do mortal wounds and one can infiltrate and they all can shoot. Again, the problem isn't the nerfs specifically, it's the sheer extensiveness of nerfs to a faction that has a 48% win rate when Eldar had high 60%s and were given a slap on the wrist. It's being jerked around like a dog on a chain, and seeing the way the wind is blowing.

It was just (for me) a fun little blocker that was hard, not impossible as i keep seeing elsewhere, to get rid of. I think they WAY overcorrected. Why not 6" reanimator, orb only acts in your command phase, or even orb is a flat +1 buff; there was 0 reason to take it from warriors as for adding crypteks and thralls.... not necessary if you reduced regen

The detachment benefit to just reroll charges isn't giving anything to units to hit harder or be more durable or have fun play styles. It also only affects destroyers and flayed ones.

The amount of layered nerfs in this codex is insane.

What a horrible codex I'm playing off the index until they give compensatory changes. Never been a fan of alternative detachments either.
