Codex: Necrons 10th Edition review: "Harder, Better, Slower, Stronger"

GamesRadar+ VerdictCodex: Necrons 10th Edition brings the undying legions to life and it’s probably the best Codex of the edition so far, offering multiple great Detachments and units for you to field.

The tomb worlds are stirring once more as the new Codex: Necrons arrives for Warhammer 40K 10th Edition. This 136-page hardback tome adds a ton of variety and new playstyles for the army and it’s definitely a lot more fun to play than the Index rules. But, is it worth picking up?

This includes core army rules, unit datasheets, and five army Detachments alongside rules for playing Combat Patrol (a smaller, entry-level version of 40K) and Crusade (a narrative-focused game mode). I’ve been playing Necrons since the start of 8th Edition, so I was super excited to get my hands on our 10th Edition Codex. Outside of a few niggling issues, it’s a fantastic rulebook that offers some diverse and fun options. Their number is legion (Image credit: Ian Stokes) There are a total of 47 datasheets in Codex: Necrons 10th Edition, which the eagle-eyed of you will notice is fewer than we had in the Index. Several characters have been moved to theLegends sectionof 40K as their models are ancient and made of resin, which Games Workshop is slowly trying to eliminate from its line-up. Of those that remain, most of them are the same as they were in the Index, but there have been some tweaks, both positive and negative. This book revitalises underused units, like Canoptek Wraiths, but it does overcompensate on nerfing some of the units that were great in the Index – so your Warriors and Lychguard will probably be going back on the shelf (for competitive games anyway). You’re not locked to a certain playstyle just because you wanted to paint your robots red or blue You’re not locked to a certain playstyle just because you wanted to paint your robots red or blue (Image credit: Ian Stokes) Some are better than others; the Canoptek Court and Hypercrypt Legion are stronger than the other three in a competitive game, but they all offer unique playstyles and ways to play your army. The only real disappointment is the Destroyer-focused Annihilation Legion, which is so underpowered that even if you are running a full Destroyer army you’d be better off playing as the Awakened Dynasty as the buffs there are stronger. My favorite Detachment is the Hypercrypt Legion, which is all about teleporting your units around the board. It’s often said that the most important aspect of Warhammer 40K is movement, and the ability to just teleport wherever you need to be is a huge asset (and it’s just a ton of fun teleporting a Monolith behind your opponent’s army and watching them panic). Their name is death (Image credit: Ian Stokes) It’s also worth mentioning that in terms of competitive play, this Codex will be out of date in no time at all, thanks to Game Workshop’s quarterly balance updates and FAQs. Indeed, one of the Canoptek Court’s most powerful (if we’re honest, too powerful) stratagems has already been toned down. This makes for a more balanced game, but it doesn’t leave you feeling great about your $60/£35 purchase, knowing the rules will be superseded so quickly. It’s a real shame that you can’t just buy the digital rules at a lower price It’s a real shame that you can’t just buy the digital rules at a lower price You do get a digital code alongside your Codex, giving you access to all the rules on the Warhammer 40K app, and this digital ruleset is constantly updated with the newest rules. It’s a real shame that you can’t just buy the digital rules at a lower price to be honest, but this is no accident – Games Workshop knows that 90% of players would just buy the cheaper, digital-only option and they’d lose money, so they don’t give you a choice. That’s not to say this isn’t a great book. It’s jam-packed with lore and short stories alongside stunning artwork and photos of beautifully painted armies, showing off all the most famous dynasties and their iconic paint schemes. There is even a painting guide for the box art scheme too. Should you buy Codex: Necrons 10th Edition? If you’re planning on playing Necrons, you need the rules, so you need Codex. You can buy the datacards to get your unit rules, but the Codex is the only legal way to get the Detachment rules. So, the real question here is “should you play as Necrons in Warhammer 40K 10th Edition?,” and that depends wholly on if you think their playstyle will suit you.Necrons are typically slow and tough with middling damage output, and this Codex continues this trend. If you enjoy playing an army that can take a punch and not go down (or go down and then pop back up), then Necrons are the army for you. If that sounds like your thing, then this Codex will be a perfect companion to your army. If you want to start collecting a silver tide of your own, then theCombat Patrol: Necronsbox is an ideal starter set to pick up alongside this book. Buy it if… ✅ You enjoy playing a tough armyNecrons are famously resilient. Your units are tough for their points cost, and they have the added bonus of being able to come back from the dead on the regular. ✅ You enjoy playing a tough armyNecrons are famously resilient.

Don’t buy it if… ❌ You want to play a high mobility armyNecrons are slow, and while this Codex does provide some neat tricks to overcome this weakness, it’s still a defining feature of the faction. If you want to zip around all over the board and react to situations on the fly, this isn’t the faction for you.
