Cursed Legion: The 11th-Edition Necrons Destroyer Madness Detachment

All Destroyer Cult models get +2 Strength on their weapons. Then the madness spreads: the first time each turn a Destroyer Cult unit destroys an enemy unit or drops it below half-strength, until end of turn your other Necrons models also gain +2 weapon Strength — though this spread excludes Destroyer Cult (they already have it), Monster and Titanic models. It's a snowball engine: land one clean kill and your whole army starts wounding far above its weight.

• Methodical Murder (Shooting/Fight) — a Necrons unit gains Sustained Hits 1. Spend it on a key unit before it swings to help land that army-wide-triggering kill.
• Image of Death (defensive) — a Destroyer Cult unit imposes -1 to be hit after being targeted, protecting an exposed unit.
• Mortis Protocols — after a Destroyer Cult unit destroys an enemy, a nearby non-Vehicle/Monster unit reanimates, recycling wounds mid-turn.
• Unnatural Aggression (opponent's Charge) — an out-of-sequence counter-charge (without charge bonuses) to lock a unit or grab position.

• Destroyer Ankh (Catacomb Command Barge or Overlord) — gives the bearer the Destroyer Cult keyword, +2" Move and +2 melee Attacks, turning a character into a heavy hitter that also benefits from Cold Fervour.
• Community databases list further options (a Cryptek keyword-spreader, a Hit-buff, a surge-move enhancement) that aren't fully confirmed for the June 2026 pack — treat those as provisional and check the app.

• Skorpekh Destroyers — the core melee blender; +2 Strength pushes their high-Strength blades into monster- and vehicle-killing territory, and wiping units flips on the army-wide bonus.
• Lokhust Destroyers — ranged Destroyer Cult; +2 Strength sharpens their gauss cannons, and kills spread the bonus.
• Ophydian Destroyers — fast deep-strike melee, ideal for delivering the cascade and Unnatural Aggression charges.
• Flayed Ones — cheap horde that reliably wipes screens — exactly the trigger that spreads Cold Fervour.
• Overlord with Destroyer Ankh — a keyword-carrying heavy hitter to lead the Destroyers.

Take it when you want an aggressive, melee-forward Destroyer army that hits far above its weight and want the whole force — not just Destroyers — to snowball in Strength as units die. It rewards a proactive, board-pushing playstyle over slow attrition, and it pairs strongly with a fast 1-DP support at 2,000 points. It's generally the preferred Necron Destroyer detachment over Annihilation Legion.

Sample gameplan: deploy a Destroyer-heavy core (Skorpekh and Ophydian for melee, Lokhust for range) plus an Overlord with the Destroyer Ankh. Use speed and deep strike to threaten multiple targets, then, in the first combat each turn, cleanly destroy or break an enemy unit with a Destroyer to flip on the army-wide +2 Strength. Use Methodical Murder before a key swing, Image of Death to protect an exposed unit, Unnatural Aggression to counter-charge, and Mortis Protocols to keep the grind going.
