Editing Necron Immortal (section)

[[File:Immortal with Gauss Blaster.jpg|thumb|when you absolutely positively need to separate a meatbag from their precious flesh, accept no substitutes.]]

For all that lore, the differences between Immortals and Warriors on the tabletop are that Immortals are slightly more expensive and get better weapons ([[gauss blaster]]s or [[tesla carbine]]s vs. [[gauss flayer]]s or [[Gauss_Reaper|gauss reapers]]), one extra point of toughness, a better armor save (3+ vs. 4+) and one extra attack (with no melee weapon).

This is in contrast to 8th edition, where they only really had the extra armor and Tesla to differentiate themselves - the standard tactic then being to take large blobs of them, cast [[Necron Overlord|My Will Be Done]] which not only gave them great WS but also [[Rape|triggered the Tesla rule on 5's instead of just 6's]].

In 9th edition, with Tesla still having garbage AP and now only triggering on ''unmodified'' 6's, Immortals are not looking quite as hot for damage dealing. This isn't helped by the fact that the Gauss Reaper that Warriors have been handed down has most of the features of the Gauss Blaster has (save for a few dynastic synergies). Their main upside is now instead that 10 Immortals, with their two attacks and extra toughness are much harder to bully off an objective (and still benefit from solid Resurrection Protocol.)
