Discussion: Necron Warriors MSU?


A question to the floor; why are people loving minimum units of Necron Warriors all of a sudden?

I keep seeing lists with units of Necron Warriors with 5 per squad - why is this? It is generally accepted that Space Marines on foot are pretty rubbish. Why is that Necron Warriors with a 4+ armour and 5+ regeneration seem to be the latest patch of awesome sauce? Warriors aren't hard to kill and it's easy to wipe out a entire unit to stop regen.

I need someone to explain to me why units of 5 Necron Warriors are awesome because I am totally missing the point.
