Gauss Turret

This simple structure acts as a focusing mechanism for Necron energies, directing incredibly powerful blasts at enemy units that draw too close. By adding more focusing plates, the blast can be refined to pierce heavy armor plating.

Tactics

Commonly regarded as the best turret amongst all the races. While perhaps not quite as impressive as the blizzard of rounds fired from other more conventional turrets, the Gauss Turret fires off an arc of green energy. Initially effective against infantry, it still has some stopping power against light vehicles. However, the Gauss Turret really becomes the cream of the crop once it is upgraded to a Heavy Gauss Cannon, as its damage against vehicles is substantially increased, and gaining effectiveness against infantry at the same time. This is widely regarded as the greatest advantage of the Gauss Turret, upgrading the other turrets results in increased effectiveness against vehicles but sacrifices their infantry killing-power. That, combined with its large detection and sight radii, as well as the ability to be built anywhere, makes this the best turret available. Therefore, the only effective way for the enemy to take out even a single one of these turrets without staggering losses is with artillery, other extremely long ranged units or simply overwhelming numbers to kill it quickly before it does more damage. A concentrated turret farm of these will take a very large assault force to get past.
