Necrons vs Pseudo-Necrons... (Rubric Marines)

[Daryl]

Who'd win?
they're both essentially an army of non-bio things

[Vladimiś]

Depends who would get plot armor for that battle

[Takao]

Warpfire bolts will probably will have no additional effect on necrodermis. The gauss flayer will make short work of the power armor, releasing the soul inside back into the warp.

With that being said: a regular bolter round can still do a lot of mess to a necron warrior. I'd say the edge in a 1v1 is still with a rubric marine since it was a warrior in life while a necron warrior is a simple necrontyr citizen trapped in a shell and given a weapon.

That's actually a tough match. Necron technology can do anything they want with reality itself, but Thousand Sons can do the same with the Warp... Warp energies can deform reality, but Necrons do have Warp dampening technology.

they retconned the entire necron being citizens trapped in a shell
to a race that felt it necessary to evolve through that method, and imprisoning the C'TAN as their pet.

Seems to me a Chaos Marine can still use a melta-bomb. Kind of an ultimate answer there. It also doesn't hurt that although the Rubric has no will of their own, the Sorcerer controlling them has nearly 11,000 years of experience to draw upon while the Necron probably spent most of that time hibernating.

The Necron may have slept for 60 million years, but the main problem is, that we don't know the lenght of the War in Heaven, though we do know that the Necron did fight, besides the Old Ones, also the Ork and the Eldar. Those fungus boys and pointy ears are both quite old, aren't they. Still took the Eldar over 60 million years to finally birth a chaos god of their own.

Anyway, depending on the lenght of the War in Heaven, the Necron commanders might also have a substanstial amount of experience in fighting wars and if the long sleep hasn't dulled that experience they may even be able to put it to good use.
