Hi I would like start game with Necron army. On start i think about 1000 pts army. What do you think about this list?

Destroyer Lord (Sempiternal weave, Mindshlacke scrabs) 160
5x Warriors (Night Scythe) 165
5x Warriors (Night Scythe) 165
6x Wraiths (3x Whip Coils) 240
Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon) 90
Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon) 90
Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon) 90

That's a pretty competitive list for just starting out. Will you be playing at a local gaming store, or among friends casually?

I will be playing at a local gaming store

Then this list should do fairly well. A big weakness will be against AV14. You'll be relying on close combat with your wraiths/lord, or two small squads of warriors to finish them off, which isn't very likely. If you find that you're consistently losing games to high armour, consider loading up on more gauss weaponry.

If you can find 50 pts you could get a 2 Crypteks w/ Voltaic staves to go w/ each warrior set. That is 8 Haywire shots at 5str.
Not only is that good vs vehicles but 5 str is ok vs inf and MCs.

He won't be able to bring Crypteks unless he adds an Overlord.

Yeah, I think you'll find this list to be pretty high strength for 1000 point games.

If you find yourself playing a newer player or in a non-competetive game, a way to tone it down would be to replace 1 Annihilation Barge with more Warriors (which could also mitigate the AV14 vulnerability and increase your chances at scoring objectives).

It will be my 4th army. And I want stay with necrons only for 1000 pts. I can change for this army list but I think sow thah first one is stronger

Overlord (Warscythe, Mindshlacke scrabs, Catacomb Command Barage(gauss cannon)) 195
2x Crypteks (2x voltaic staff) 50
5x Warriors (Night Scythe) 165
5x Warriors (Night Scythe) 165
6x Wraiths (3x Whip Coils) 240
Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon) 90
Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon) 90

You don't have to glue the big gun onto the Barge, so any box you buy you'll be able to switch between Annihilation Barge and Catacomb Command Barge

You're better off fielding a 20 warrior blob squad with a necron lord with semp weave and an orb and taking out the wraiths all together and 1 barge.
