Heya Dakka.

I am very new at warhammer (tryed it a few times back in 3rd ed.).

So I have desided to play necrons (because I think the look kinda cool )

I will be playing agenst alot of people (who all are more or less new to the game)... So I will face lots of diffrent armies.

Most of them dont have lots of tanks and stuff... but they will get them eventualy.

I have no idea what my playstyle is yet so I have made 3 lists (all at 1000 pt).

The first one:


In the few posts i have read, people dont seem to use wraiths so much. They seem like a finde unit (but what do i know, havent played them yet).


The second list:


This seems to go more in line whit the army lists i have seen here on dakka.

The 3rd:

The last one here i am not so sure about... but i looks like it could be fun.

And by the way... is disruption fields worth it on the scarabs?
And i can see Immortals can get them as well, is there any merit with that?


Well this is my 3 lists.

I like that they are pretty diffrent so i can test out what i like and dont like.

But i would like to get your opinons of how to tweek them for the better

Anyway, have a nice day.

Problem with your first list is the wraiths, they might do ok, but best when coming out of monolith portal with a Destroyer Lord.

I like you second list. But would maybe swap Veil for another Destoyer, and have 2 squads of.
Your 3rd list would probably work quite well, at 1000 points its going to be very hard to kill a monolith. But again, i'm not sure about Veil (but then again, i probably just don't like it very much.)

Your second list is my favorite. It is very fast and dangerous.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The problem with the third list is that it won't take much effort to make you phase out.

The second and third lists are quite good.

If you don't mind, i'll be stealing your 3rd list for 1000 points as I can never seem to fit a Monolith in at 1k

Okay i can see your points.

I was thinking that list 2 would be most popular (because its more in line whit what everyone do) so no surprises there.

Whit list 3 I am not so sure about the scarabs... i could list 2 more immortals for that price.
What is your thought on that?

And list one... i had i feeling it wont be to popular... but i really want to make something like that work.
If not for anything else, then just to check the playstyle out.

But what could you else do to make at semi decent necron list whits focuses on melee combat?

It is obvious that i would be hard to fit both a monolith and a destroyer lord alongside the wraths at 1000 pt.
But a destroyer lord plus a res orb is 170 pt (or 180 if he would get a scythe as well).

And then 246 for 6 wraths... then the required 20 warriors would make it a total of 776 (or 786).

That leaves 224 (214) for the rest.

What would be optimal to bring for the rest?

The idea for list 1 is not to win me a lot of tourneys, but more to explore the different playstyles.

I love your input!
Have a nice day

Although I have my opinions of which ones will work best, I'd say go with whatever list you like the most.

You'll have more fun playing an army that is personalized to your preference - even if you don't win. Winning isn't everything.
