i have a necron list and a nid player on my side

The Daemons have good anti-infantry units, so they'll try and get into cc quickly. Shoot at them when they get close. They haven't got too much shooting, but what they have is quite powerful. Watch out for flamers (wound on 4+, allow NO saves!), Soul Grinder (good in cc and shooting) and horrors (str4 ap4 assault 3). Weapons that disallow armour are useless against Daemons. The csm on the other hand are a different matter, they have good shooting and some good cc stuff as well. Their anti- tank support is brutal (oblits, terminators etc). Obviously try and deny them their armour saves. Use the tyranid monstrous creatures, Necron lord or monolith to take out armour and the rest of the army to tackle the infantry. Send some of the smaller 'nids into combat if needs be, as their numbers will (hopefully) tie up the smaller, more powerful chaos squads. Good Luck!

Get lots of trygons and lots of cheap nids. The daemons will be killed by hordes of Nids and use the Necrites to kill the armour of the CSM.

You could always go heavy, using Monoliths and Trygons to absorb all the big guns with Destroyers and Hive Guards/Zoas providing long range anti-tank.

Necron Warriors supported by Genestealers or Hormogants would make for a decent combination, a rapid fire before the bugs charge.

Destroy as many daemons as possible in shooting as 'nids and 'crons will get mashed in combat against most of them. The csm should be shot as they will probably be providing fire support as the daemons advance; I suppose you could also tie them up in cc, denying them any shooting for a few turns. (BTW, you do know that it's probably going to be an alliance between two csm armies and one with sm and da).

Remember bugs generally attack first and are cheaper than dirt vs. demons. Most demon units are overpriced against non MEQs, so focus hordy and/or Nid against them (ironically demons are excellent against chaos).

From experience, my demon units are survivable against Nids but your high initiative MCs can really hammer a lot of my stuff, you will take casualties though. Although your mileage may vary, keep away from a bloodthirster unless you have a dedicated CC oriented Hive Tyrant.

It's impossible- The C'tan always got bullied by the Chaos gods, the emperor and the laughing god at school. They were so upset they went to sleep for eternity, and their necron legions never did anything decent since.

This is true in every respect.

I posted this on the wrong thread somehow. Sorry.
