I have no tomb but have thought about getting them how ever i thought they take up a heavy slot?? I have 2 monolith as well. I also think immortals and 15 destoiers and a must for necron army
thanks for your imput let me know what else you got, I was going to do a lord of foot with immortals and veil and orb the second lord in destorer body with orb but are there anyother upgrades i need or is that ok you think?

I agree. Stop with the this army sucks or that army sucks crap..its uncalled for.

Now to help with your army. first what kreedos say about the spyders are cool..the only problem is they are heavy just like the monoliths. so can take 2 monos and 3 spyders if you should wish, I love spyders. I am hoping to do an all spyder esc list when the new dex comes out. But wishfull thinking there.

This is what I came up with. Now I don't play crons but I have seen them played and I do have there dex. SO I know what they can and can't do.
hq
2x lords: vial, orb
elites
2x8 Immortals
troops
4x10 warriors
fast
2x4 Destroyers
heavy
2x Monoliths
1x spyders

basically you vail the immortals around giving support to the destroyers. And the spyder helps with the warriors getting back up. Not sure if its something you would want but I kinda think it could be alittle nasty to deal with..just an idea. phase out would be 16.

Good luck!

Edit: If you do destroyer lord. phylactrey is kinda nice.

Good idea thanks, and am not sure y people are so against necromancer, I think they are really very good and can only get better when codex comes out

Well to be honest they are not the best army out there. Just looking at purely what they can and can't do. Compared to what the other armies do and there rules. For example Whole armies having FNP now but not having to worry about Phase out like you do. So you get my point.

But I am also one that doesn't care whats the best because the army is only as good as the general, ie you, me, whom ever is playing.

I hope you can figure it out and good luck.

Actually, it depends on where the typo was in the original post. Either the points cost for each warrior group is wrong or the number of warriors in each group is wrong.

If the number of warriors is accurate, then the total is 2492.

+1 this!

Am not sure anyone answered this but I'll re ask should I use nightbringer for a HQ?

You could, but I don't reallly think he is worth the 350(?) that you would pay for him. A squad of lootas would kill him pretty fast. Just mass fire will kill him pretty fast and you would lose an Orb, which is something you really need 2 of.

But you could try it out, hey he might add something that you need.

360 pts but him behind monolith, I think that his toughness is 8 so even for loota it would be 5+ to hit and a 4+? to wound and he has 5 wounds and crazy cool powers. I wish orb had longer range or maybe play tomb spyders to help repair, if nightbringer gets in any range at all then yeah wow don t mess with him

I agree completely. I Personally run wraith wing with the Nightbringer. I keep my lord in the back with the warriors for the orb and use him as the srg we dont have if a squad gets assaulted. If someone is going to assault my warriors I would at least have my lord in there and shoot them to pieces first. Then us the wraiths to assault there heavies or force them to react in some way and buy time for my nightbringer to get there from behind a monolith.

But i love the nightbringer so I would run him in my opinion yeah its a little bit more but he is a bad tough dude with a bunch of powers lol. GL I hope ya figure it out man.

Thanks same to you if you go to Ard Boyz, I really think destoryer wing is sooo much better then wraith wing. Ill post a necron army with nightbringer and people can tell me what they think, please make sure that you have played as or played against them when you post to have some idea on what they can do. One more thing posting a message of "sorry I don t have a suggestion or any idea about them" is not helpful and a waste of time, lol has happened to me a few times now

Ok thanks for help on this list seems like ill add in nightbringer and let me friend do his best then.

29th place out of 75 players for a GT that's been cooking for months. Meaning a lot of people had a lot of time to get ready for it. I call finishing almost in the top third respectable and competitive, particularly when you realize each placing was different by a narrow margin.

Check the (above) link yourself to see the armies that placed. And 'expecting marines' is kinda silly . It's like expecting counter-spells out of a blue deck of M:tG. What are majority of models sold by GW? Spess Muhreens.
Oy.
Your post is the kind that I was trying to point out earlier: Unhelpful.

jbuzzsaw has already maxed the destoyers out ... so if there's anything more to be helpful with ... ? And gee, if DoP can make Wraiths work reasonably well, then there ought to be room to expand one's ideas on the list.

Back to jbuzzsaw:
In 4e, there was a Tomb Spider list with scarabs up the ying-yang (and the larger the point-game the better), meant to be mega cheese. Have you explored that option?

max monolith?

I did try to help, i gave him an idea of what to take to be competitive. Its not the only competitive army but 3 monolith is scary and hard to kill

Yeah but only have 2, i can add some heavy destoyers or tomb spyders just was not sure

Hey the problem with most of the lists suggested are that they are about considering phase out.
Unfortunately there is no way to really prevent that so you should really just ignore it and hope for the best.
For example

3 Monoliths 705
15 Destroyers 750
Destroyer Lord with Phase Shifter and Res orb (plus warscythe) 210
10 Warriors 180
10 Warriors 180
1 Lord with Res 140
10 Immortals 280
then just fill in the last 55 pts with what you want

Even with this, necron are simply not really competitive at this point value. They are best at about 1500 with a two towers list, because not that many other armies can field that kind of firebase in a 1500 pt game
