Oh fuck, you're right. This is going to make getting decent recasts a HUGE pain in the a...
Actually they'll still accept Crypto. Whatever. I'm presuming they're not blockading packages from Russia?
They were absolutely horrendous in 2018 ed. You had 2 (3 in elites), and any failed saves would be absolutely devastating. You couldn't control objectives and your range was limited, so you had to get in and melee, and with 3 models that just melt every time you roll 3-4 1s, you had no staying power

If sanctions are put on China at any point expect shortages of kits at best and and complete upheaval of the release schedule at worst.

Ghost ark or doomsday ark?

Show us your list so far if you have one.

The shit from 2 starter boxes, the kit for an ark, and an extra 3 skorpekhs from the Imperium mag I mentioned a few days ago.
So…
1. 20 warriors. Haven’t decided on flayers or reapers. If ghost ark probably half of them as reapers because it’d be easier to get them in range.
2. 6 skorpekh destroyers and 2 plasmacytes.
3. 6 scarab swarms.
4. A Royal Warden
5. An Overlord
6. One of the arks
A little barebones I know, but I’m just starting. Nowhere near enough points yet for a proper army but I think it’s a respectable entry point.
Crons seem to have issues doign antivehicle stuff and the Doomsday would be an answer to that, albeat a slightly unreliable one.

Don’t forget that you can use the Ghost Ark necrons as additional warriors. Just get enough bases and put whatever weapon option you aren’t using on one of the other two on their back.
Ghost Ark does have an ability to bring back D3 models in a unit in the command phase along with transport capacity.
Doomsday Ark may have D6 shots, but I can see it being useful as a back line target, forcing your opponent to focus fire on it rather than on your warriors or destroyers.

Ghost arks are pretty stronk in silver tide lists, they 're big as fuck and can easily block movement lanes in the table.

I'd tell the Vostroyans to fire up the printers, but they were already doing that.

Probably go for a ghost ark in that case.

Someone at my local shop turned me on to maybe using the Deceiver as my really heavy option. Redeploy, reserves, deep strike, and the potential to do truly evil shit by combining cosmic insanity with flayed ones and/or a psychomancer.
How would people recommend painting him if I were to go that route? Gold with brass in the recesses, the inverse, or something else?

I painted mine the same as the box art but flesh tones would also look quite good.

How is he in games, and do you know if he was resin or plastic? I’m not sure how resin would like the Tamiya ultra thin I’ve been using.

IIRC all the C'tans minus the Void Dragon and Transcendent are resin.

So I’d need to get some superglue if I go that route?

Pretty much. Superglue's cheap but essential if you work with anything that isn't plastic like resin kits or if you plan to sculpt additional details with green stuff.
