How so? They carry bad ass weapons, are a troop choice, and they're T6 (if i'm correct in my thinking). That means, despite that, necrons NEED to roll 6's to wound them. And if I'm not mistaken their armor saves are good as well.

Or take an Avatar. He facerapes necrons when he gets into CC.

The only thing necrons have to fear is the fact they get a lot of rapid fire shots... and thats it. Wraiths aren't that great, Monoliths can be a killer but thats why you ignore it and down the troops, immortals are... well, expensive.

Just takes some creativity, and the simple rule of DO NOT ATTACK THE MONOLITH!

harlequins. get them in cc and they'll rip the necrons to shreds.

Also a couple things to note (as a Necron player):
-Any decent Necron player will almost certainly have a Res Orb close enough (or in) the main squads you are assaulting, so don't assume that power weapons will save you (assuming you don't sweep them)
-Additionally, some Necron players (Including myself most of the time) can maneuver their forces so that you don't get into CC until they are ready (like a Res Orb getting close enough) and can of course transport out of CC when necessary.
-(Something else I was gonna add but can't remember now)

Actually if you are taking wraith guard and you manage to get the monolith within 12" of your wraithcannon wielding friends by all means take the shot. there are few things outside of apoc that kill a monolith better. Iyanden styled armies make necrons sad.
