I now have 60 warriors with 20 more on the way.
5 immortals
3 wraiths
3 lords
1 converted nightbringer
1 monolith, trying to get a second at moment (store ran out so trying on ebay)
3 destroyers
2 heavy destroyers
4 pariahs

won two objective games against Daemonhunters and Nids.
with 2 troops of 13 warriors each
1 VOD Orb Lord
5 immortals
1 monolith
1 c'tan
6 scrabs

this was at 1500 points and with all the toys I bought need to bring it to 2k.

Well, you have 1400pts worth of Warriors. Unless you're running ninja necs, when you add 2 monoliths that's your 2k.

What are ninja necs?

Where you only put enough lith's and models on the table so you can assure you won't phase out. Usually you keep two of your warrior squads in reserve and hope your lilths don't get knocked out.

So is having that many warriors feasible or is it too much for 2k?

Not anymore/less feasable than fielding an all infantry space marine army. You're assured to get your WBB rolls, and with a Lord/orb, you can probably position all your troops so you can get your roll everytime.

Geesh - 60 warriors. I think the most I fielded at a time in 3rd edition was 40. Just keep shooting the crap out of everything.

got a game Wednesday. guess I will know then.

Run as many warriors as you can without gimping (40-50 is pretty average), 1-2 monoliths (1 is honestly all you need), Destroyers are beastly, and if you want wraiths run em with a destroyer lord. C'thans, personally, are kinda a waste. They're very slow. yeah they're bad ass, but because they cost so much (and thus bring your phase out lower), its not quite worth it. immortals are great, only if you can run a full squad or two tho (the Str 5 gauss is great)

Agreed. My standard list was 30-40 warriors, lord, 14 Immortals, and 8-12 Destroyers.

I always did pretty well. Just gotta keep em out of HtH.

So 86 the C'tan And get another lord with Destroyer body and warscyth to run with wraiths?

Basically run with=
2 lords, one orb lord w/Vod running with Immortals and the other Destroyer lord running with wraiths.
1 Monolith
the rest warriors
Any scrabs?

Run twenty to thirty warriors but not anymore. You realy have to pick a certain build to go by with Necrons.
Necron gunlines and monolith heavy armies are good, as are destroyer spams.

How about this?

50 troops, 5 units=900 points

1 monolith=235 points

1 Orb Lord w/Vod=200

1 Destroyer lord w/ warscyth, res orb, gaze of flame and phylactery=210 points

6 iMMORTALS=168 POINTS

3 Wraiths=123 points

10 scarabs, 2 units w/ disruption fields=160 points

Good? Total=1996 points

Or you could drop twenty warriors and the wraiths beef up the immortals and add as many destroyers you can fit in (You could also drop the Destroyer Lord and add more destroyers or some heavy destroyers)

I should point out that I will be fighting 'nids on Wed. Beat him in objective game last turn. Vod to winning last objective for win. It will be a rematch 2k points.
