Necron Lord with res orb, viel, and staff of light
2x 10 Necron warriors
6 scarab swarms
3 Wraiths
1 monolith

I haven't been doing too well with this list, I've only won against Eldar. I've been thinking of replacing the Wraiths with 4 scarabs and 4 warriors.

Monolith is a bit to much for a 1000 point list i would drop it. I would get more warriors also. Maybe something like this

1000 Pts - Necrons Roster

HQ: Lord (1#, 200 pts)
. . 1 Lord @ 200 pts (Staff of Light; Resurrection Orb; Veil of Darkness)
. . . . 1 Resurrection Orb
. . . . 1 Veil Of Darkness

Elite: Immortals (5#, 140 pts)
. . 5 Immortals @ 140 pts (Gauss Blaster)

Troops: Warriors (12#, 216 pts)
. . 12 Warriors @ 216 pts (Gauss Flayer)

Troops: Warriors (12#, 216 pts)
. . 12 Warriors @ 216 pts (Gauss Flayer)

Troops: Warriors (10#, 180 pts)
. . 10 Warriors @ 180 pts (Gauss Flayer)

Fast Attack: Scarab Swarms (3#, 48 pts)
. . 3 Scarab Swarms @ 48 pts (Disruption Field)

Total Roster Cost: 1000

Gives you a phase out of 10

I agree with General Chaos. In a 1000 point list, your Monolith is too big a drain on your points. My usual 1000 point list for general games includes a Lord with ResOrb, 2 small warrior squads, an immortal squad, several destroyers and a scarab swarm unit. The destroyers give you long range firepower and have worked ok against armor or just to put a lot of wounds on non-armor units. The scarab swarms can delay, even kill sometimes, enemy sniper or assault units. I was surprised the first time I tried out Immortals. They are worth so much more that warriors for their ability to put two shots out to 24", on the move and each shot more likely to wound. Note that "on the move" is as likely to be while moving away as while moving towards.
