I hate necrons. Just putting that out there first, but I don't like them. The fact they are an unstoppable force of basically, T-X's (terminator movies), and silent cold blooded killers, just scares the crap out of me. Which is why I hate them. I was later in a discussion with a friend about a zombie apocalypse, and what it would be like in the future, space zombies? And then I thought of the NECRONS.

How in the blazes would you survive a necron breakout in a hive city on a densely populated planet? fluff wise, and otherwise...

You would need to destroy their tomb first, so they can't phase out, then destroy their bodies.

But you see, you make a bigger fire so it consumes and absorbs the current fire thus solving fire with fire.

NEVER Fight Fire with Fire, nobody can handle two fires!

In response to the topic at hand, to defeat the Necrons, the answer is you can't. The only hope you have is to kill yourself before they get to you, lest your soul be harvested by the C'tan.

On the table, however, it's a simple matter. Ignore the big shiny scary looking toys (like monolith's and C'tan) and focus on their warriors and other squishy(ish) units. They'll hit phase out soon enough.

How bout if the situation were like that of a zombie apocalypse? basic provisions and such, is there no way?

water & tazers, fire, 2 fires, fires squared... hrm I think these work best with fleshies...

My friend told me a bit about how to play necrons, don't they have a "we'll be back" move or something? As in, as long as you have one unit, you could potentially bring back everyone?
How exactly would taking out their squishier units help?

We'll Be Back is essentially a 4+ Invul save , but it takes place at the start of the next turn. It makes them hard to take down, but it can be negated by hitting them with something that denies their armor save or is double their strength. If they have a Resurrection Orb nearby, they will get it, no matter what you killed them with.

Taking out the squishy units will trigger the phase out and make them go away. Necrons lose if you kill 75% of them.

I have read some fluff where and Ordo-Xenos filled a remaining Necron with beacon-bullets. Once it phased out they used an astropath to track the exact location of its Tomb. Then raid with a lot of explosives.

Of course it is on a much easier said than done scale.

Aditionaly I have also read about the Ordo-Xenos is learning about their Phasing out. And that they constantly have a link to their Tomb. Either when the signal breaks or is given [cant remember] the warriors is return to the Tomb "Phasing Out" Many are trying to imitate this signal...

For your zombie apocalypse scenario, what you have to remember is that the necrons were created to exterminate all life. They cannot be bargained with. They cannot be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop - ever - until you are dead.

Plus, they're armed with disintegration beams, so you're pretty much fethed.

Anything with a decent amount of AP will take them down. My personal vote is ripping a melee Tyranid Warrior's skull from its very head, then tear its lash whip and bonesword off, and have them surgically grafted to your own arms. Then, you get real nice and close with them, because Necrons, like all things in the 41st century, are too dumb to shoot at you if you're next to them, the lash whip ensures that he won't attack first, then the bonesword ignores his armor save and just kills him, thus phasing him out.

Rinse. Repeat. Call it a day, safe from space zombies.

Make an appointment for the Necron lord with a Psychiatrist. He'll leave that place a changed Necron... and severely out of pocket.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

The Proper way. If you have played enough games against them previously then dump ALL YOUR HATE on to them.

Otherwise, attempt Sweeping Advance them IRL for a much easier (in comparison to all other strategies) and cleaner approach

WAIT!

There is a fluffy way to kill necrons, the deathwatch do it at one point or another.

They send 10 marines into a massive pyramid thingo where the necrons phase back to (and all these necrons attack them inside).

Their mission is to plant meltabombs in there, which they do, and every time they kill a necron they see it teleport back onto the walls of the inside of the pyramid to be rebuilt, then it just hops down and goes at it again. I think they loose like 6 brothers in the planting of the meltabombs, and the last 4 die in the explosion. They do however destroy all the warriors and their crypt.
