Time to settle this!

[Brinan The Barbarian]

Lets just try this! Just to add to my list of disadvantages, no fleet, cannot be sucked through monolith (aka slow as hell)

[MajorSoB]

As I have stated, Pariahs are good but IMO never capable of making up their points. Too slow, no way to get them across the board, etc. They are only affective as counter assualt. they have their use I guess but not one of your better choices in Necrons, now Scarabs on the other hand.....

[Brinan The Barbarian]

They are only affective as counter assualt.

Is I have said before, no one in the right mind will get anywhere close to you.

[Iron Warrior]

Your playing the wrong game then Brian, because if you rely on you opponent to make mistakes and fall into you OBVIOUS traps you will never make a good tacticion

You need to use your pariahs in an active role. Dont be passive with them and wait till they come into range...be proactive and march them over to where there will be combat, behind terrain to counter assualt even being near an assualt where you can use thier special ability is good enough.

You dont need to make up points with units, you need to use them in combination with your army as a whole....if your rely on unit to unit basis, You will find your necrons on the short end of the stick. They are not like chaos where your units can stand up unit to unit, they work together like an ant nest.

I like Ron's reply.
Not to branch this topic out, but there are other units in other armies same problems ie:Avatar. I think Ron answered the guestion for all those type of units though.

I have 6 Pariahs and that is one of the only ways to play them. Thats why I dont use them. I was thinking walking them behind spiders could be affective.

Huh? plopping down 6 pariahs isnt "using" them...its taking 6 pariahs.

that is ONE of the ONLY ways to play them? This sentence doesnt make anysense. you need to rephrase it to:
1.) That is the ONLY way to play them
OR
2.) That is ONE of the ways I play them
OR
3.) That is THE ONE way I play them

So far we havent heard anthing about them being played, only that you take 6.

I MEANT DEPENDING ON YOUR OPPONENTS MISTAKES!

[MajorSoB]

Wow, Ron are you on the rag!!! LMAO!!!!

I saw your Slugga comparison and I think its apples to oranges since Pariahs are WAY more expensive and last I checked they can'y WAAGHH!

[Iron Warrior]

Say what you mean then. I cant assume everything for you. And I still dont see you point.

I saw your Slugga comparison and I think its apples to oranges since Pariahs are WAY more expensive and last I checked they can'y WAAGHH!

No its not diffrent, we are talking about units that have to WALK across the table. Last time I checked Pariahs have a better: BS, I, S, Weapon, Range, LD, Armor Save, A Diffrent Sepcial rule....so now that we got that out of the way back to the topic of How people dont like to walk things across the table because..... Its bad?

Wow, Ron are you on the rag!!! LMAO!!!!

No, Are you?

[dragons3]

THIS IS A FIRST MAJOR S.O.B., BRIAN AND I ALL AGREE ON SOMETHING, PARAIH ARE 36 POINT WALKING SLUGS THAT HELP YOU PHASE OUT SOONER JUST TO MAKE YOUR OPPONENT FEEL BETTER, (ALTHOUGH I'VE NEVER PHASED OUT).

IN THE NECRON DICTIONARY, I LOOK UP PARAIH!

PARAIH: A USELESS METALLIC LIKE MACHINE THAT MOVES LIKE A SLUG. PARA-OF-ASS-HOLE: IS THE SUCKER WHO THINKS THAT HE or SHE CAN WIN A 40K ROUND USING A PARAIH.
PARAIH: SYNONYM FOR SUCKER.

IT'S TRUE! ;D ;D ;D

[Iron Warrior]

First, No one said pariah will win you the game.

Second if you dont have the skills to use all your units in your codex dont b!tch about it.

-I used to think raptors were too expensive, never got its points back blah blah blah...then one day I used them out of boredom. They did terrifc IN CONJUNCTION with other units. They are a hit or miss unit, more often than not if used in conjuntion with another unit they will hit.

Im not forcing you to take Pariahs, Im suggestion to you instead of taking the typical Necron army, try something diffrent for a change, like Pariahs. The unit is not half bad, hell I will take if I could.

Its not like its hard to hide a 6 man squad of them, they can be used well and get a counter assualt off or even an assualt if used wisely.

[dragons3]

RON, WHAT HELL IS WRONG WITH, GO GET SOME COFFEE, WASH YOUR FACE WITH COULD WATER OR SOMETHING. YOU DO REALIZE YOU'RE ARGUING SOB AND SON RIGHT!

OK BIKES SUCK, BUT ATTACK BIKES ARE GOOD, IF YOUR PLAYING DARK ANGELS.

GOTTA GO! ;D ;D ;D

I HAVE USED PARAIH'S, I HIT 5 OUT OF 6 AT 50 YARDS WITH MY 22 LONG RIFLE, I DID MAKE A TACTICAL ERROR.
I SHOULD HAVE RE-ADJUSTED MY SCOPE AND CHECKED THE WIND READINGS FIRST.

[Iron Warrior]

WTF?

Im not arguing, Im giving advice, explaing that Paraih arent all that bad.


All I hear from you , SOB and Brian is: Piss, moan, piss, moan, my units suck i need str 10, i want this, i need this, I cant rely on tactics, so im gonna b!tch about my army.

Seriously, reality check here- game wise: Any unit can be made good when you take the time to figure it out. It has a niche some where, just gotta find it. I cant play the game for you or make you play something you dont want to. Take it as it is....

[dragons3]

REALITY CHECK,OK THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGNED THESE UNITS ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE US ARGUING OVER THE RULES HALF THE TIME INSTEAD DOING SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE!

RON, CHECKOUT THE SPACEMARINE ARMY LIST I POSTED BEFORE PARAIH STUFF MOVED OVER.
