Your destroyers are not very good in this situation. Take multiple squads, or none at all.

Just noticing: res orb = 40, shroud = 30...how did you get 200?

shroud is 60 points. you don't have enough AT/AP2 in my opinion. lose the shroud or orb (personal preference), and drop the warrior squads down to 10 each and drop the destroyers. then add 3-4 heavy destroyers. here is my 1000 pt list and it works very very well.

i turbo boost destroyers on the 5-6th turn onto objectives to contest and haven't lost yet in 5 games. i haven't found an army able to withstand this much firepower in such a small list.

Regular destroyers really aren't enough fire power to offer good ranged anti tank IMHO I would recommend scraping up some points and get heavies as listed above they will serve you much better against Guard and MEQ armies not that you will face too many tanks in the 1k bracket but still having good support will and can win you the game.

Dont put all eggs in one basket or you wont get the WBB rolls for your destroyers.

Brados list looks solid and alot better.

once again thank you for the help just getting back into the game with the new 5e. also someone was telling me about making a wraith lord and putting him into a unit of 3 wraiths for some extra punching power. but do the necron lords still have the 100 point restrictions on wargear or is that not the case anymore?
was wondering if this was legal?
necron lord with warscythe 110
destroyer body 30
phase shifter 30
phylactery 15
res orb 40
225 points

100pts limit on wargear. The Warscythe wont count towards that limit though. Drop the Phylactery and you'll be fine.

I use to play a Necron army with alot of Destroyers. I used 3 squads of (4) Destroyers, and 3 squads of (2) Heavy Destroyers. It's very mobil with alot of fire power.

destroyers a too good to only have 1 unit of

a list id use
HQ:
lord w/ Res Orb and phylactery and a warscythe(optional) 165pts
Troops:
10 warriors - 180pts
10 warriors - 180pts
10 warriors - 180pts
FA:
3 destroyers - 150pts
3 destroyers - 150pts

1005 Points Total

That's a decent version of Necron Flying Circus, should work OK in 1,000 points.
