Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Apocalypse (section)

===Gauss Pylon===
At 550 points this model is a steal (where most titan killing weapons are either baneblades or cost 1000+ points), being more survivable than a stompa while packing enough punch to almost one shot a stompa (which costs roughly the same price). It's poor shooting once stuck in melee does mean that if it does get stuck in melee it will never win, keep it in reserve until either your opponent moves a titanic unit into a nice line of sight, or deploy into your deployment zone turn 1 (effectively a better version of the swarmlords ability). There's not much else to say about it other than the fact that it cannot move, so always plan its position in advance, but otherwise it is a must have for any necron apocalypse army, and will happily pay for itself in 2000 points and less battles as long as your opponent brought along some juicy vehicles to shoot at.
