So if you use it against say a squad of necron warriors and you roll lets say a 12 with 3 dice then you take the warriors LD(10) away from your roll resulting in 2 wounds inflicted.

Nope, you only take away 2 warriors (that is if they would also fail their reanimation) as you cause 2 woundts to the unit, not to every model.

I... don't think Punisher was ever saying you would cause 2 wounds to every model.

Yeah... I'm not sure how it could have been interpreted otherwise? Why would you need to tack on "to the unit" at the end of that sentence? Pretty much everyone knows that if you target a unit and do X wounds, that's X wounds to the unit, not X wounds to every model in the unit.

Ok so does anyone know what formation benefits are yet?

The ones I have been able to find so far are the decurion which gives you 4+ RP and the canoptic one which lets you choose each turn if you want fleet(though 2 out of 3 units are beasts and already have fleet and only the single spyder doesn't have it), RP, or shred.

Just wondering what the other benefits were.

[Andrew Thomas]

I wasn't paying attention to formations when I read the 'dex, but the Decurion isn't mandatory, (although it isn't that hard to satisfy and once you get past the Overlord/2 Warriors/Immortals/Tomb Blades tax, you get up to 10 of anything you want, with the caveat that a lot of what's awesome has side requirements) and Caster & Nebuloscope Tomb Blades are going to ruin many a horde player's day.

Canoptek Swarm and a bunch of Flayed Ones will give you everything likeable about the Maynarch List, with none of the drawbacks.
Spamming Deathmarks may just be the ultimate Spanish Inquisition list.

Got my necron stuff today, not had much time to read anything but backround-wise there are a few interesting nuggets in the Time line section such as a direct reference to a void dragon shard going amok and a tomb corrupted by a chaos demon prince!

Bah! No book for me until around 5:30, because work.

Would have been 4:30, but took a page out of the Necron book (no, not that one. The metaphorical one) and overslept by an hour.
