Tell me whats wrong with this list.

13 Warriors
13 Warriros
13 Warriors

1 Lord w Orb
1 Lord w Orb

1 Monolith
1 Monolith
1 Monolith

41 Crons, phase out at 10.

Attach 1 lord to each flanking squad to give the center squad double orb coverage.

Anit armor is handled by the 39 gauss weapons and Mono plates.
Anti horde by 3 flux projectors.
CC by 3 teleporters that can pull the entire army out of CC on any turn.

The only thing missing is anti Zilla but crons always have a problem with that.

Tough list. umm id watch out for those super ranged guns. fire prisms could be the armies bane here because two of them can power each other up to make ordanence size template, AP3 blats that could drop a few necrons a turn. and the fire prism has a range of 60.

better to drop down to 2 warrior squads covered by one lord. use the points on immortals to replace the third warriors (immortals don't need orb babysitting due to toughness 5, and move and shoot str5 guns gives very nice versatility) and scarabs. necron lists that go for this sort of defensive approach really need the scarabs to tie up dangerous threats until they can be dealt with.

Its a very tough list, even in the 5th ed.
It needs to be played defensively so that the Monos inflict most of the damage.

With a low body count to begin with ( only 39 warriors) I can see most oppoentes just pumping all their shots into a single warrior unit until it is wiped out and then they have no shot at a WBB. Or you go up against a 6 Broadside Tau list and your monoliths drop out of the sky either way you will need to be careful when it comes to playing a shooty army.

I am not convinced that this will do much against the new ork Dex. With units of lootas that can out range most of your list I can see you struggling in a competitive environment.

Orks?

Gauss flux arc. Warriors behind area terrain. Game over.

If you fight Tau, you Deepstrike your Monoliths.

Deepstriking into GEQ is a winner with this army - that way you can either GFA everything, or tele warriors/lord through. Against MEQ you will find life a bit harder, especially if they have fast moving combat troops (jetpacks, bikes, etc). And dropping tanks would be a tough job - you would need to roll a hell of a lot of 6's. But if that's what you want, run with it.
