I've beaten the DC campaign with the SM, Tau, and halfway with the Necrons (in normal mode). When I decided to play a nice skirmish game with a random computer while being Chaos, I faced the most unsuspected predicament in my whole...experience in DoW.
In short maps like (2)Quest's Triumph I can't beat up the Necrons. Since I didn't save any replays, I'll just descriptively tell what happened as good as I can. I've tried Chaos Marine rushes, machine attacks, Raptor Squad rushes; game after game. I'm starting to think that the Necrons are rigged. During the Chaos and Raptor Squad rushes, I was able to push two squads in the Necron base, causing a lot of damage, blowing out the majority of their power cores and obelisks. Yet, out of no where, a single group of Flayed Ones came out and attack my incoming reinforcements. They single handedly dominated two squads of a Raptor and Chaos Marines, later my Chaos Lord and Cultists. I sent my attacking squads to come back and defeat the Flayed Ones,... then they died also. The battle against 1 squad of Flayed Ones took me like 6-10 minutes, enough time for the Necrons to recover and get Immortals ;/. Damn Flayed Ones. I just can't beat them. My Chaos Lord dies too easily, my possessed machines die too easily, everything I throw at them just seems to end out in a blood bath for them.
Any suggestions from an experienced player?
