Just got back into 40k after several years off, so consider me a total noob. Haven't played since 5th edition. I'm playing Necrons for the first time, and need some opinions on this 1850 tournament list. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Well its not a bad list.
However, I'd replace the Spyder for another AB.
Wraiths should be led by a DLord to tank wounds.
You don't need five whip coils, just one or two.
I generally go out without coils since the attacks which count are I 1 anyway.

Thanks. Aside from the whip coils, what do I drop then to make up the extra point cost for adding the destroyer lord? He's 125 pts.

You definitely want a despairtek with those deathmarks. Thats what makes them worth taking.

All the lords need the Warscythe in case they get into combat. So drop the Spyder and spend points on all the lords.

Other than that this list is quite solid. Is this your first list?

Hope this helps

@Darkhorse19, yeah this is my first necron list. I try and come up with a list before I've got the actual points and use it as my purchase guide. Thanks to everyone who's posted thus far for the suggestions.

Glad to help in anyway dont be afraid to private message me to swap and ask for ideas been doing lists for over 11 years now for 40k alone so safe to say i know what im talking about
