Everything starts of in a night scythe or is a doom scythe (with the exception of the monolith because i use its portal to get any fallen transports cargo out of reserve.).

Some cool Night Scythe spam, but you've still got problems. A smart opponent would deal with the main threat first, which is the Doom Scythe, and because it's short ranged it won't be hard dealing with it. The tackle the Monolith, again this isn't hard because it's short ranged weaponry requires it to be close to enemy units. Then start popping Night Scythes and your units are walking in. Also the res orbs are not worth the points, they only increase your protocols roll by 16.6%.

Ok, but one thing. One of those night scythes contains 6 war sythes! Which could tear through enemy armour. But i do see what you mean. Perhaps I could ditch the Immortals and replace them with small squads of warriors with cryptics with that anti-tank scythe weapon?

I honestly never noticed that Necron Warriors could take a Night Scythe... anyway...

Ether Crystals and Lightning Field, why? One is only good if you're getting assaulted, the other is only good if enemy units are Deep Striking right next to you. If you're playing a ranged enemy, Lightning Field isn't going to be helpful. Ether Crystals seem like they have a low chance of ever being useful. Voltaic Staff actually isn't bad... Assault 4 Haywire is pretty neat, but with all the Gauss in play, it seems redundant. Crypteks of Destruction with Eldritch Lances seem like they'd give you more oomph for only 5 more points per model.

Why are you giving your Necron Overlord Phaeron if he is joining a unit of Necron Lychguard?

Yeah. (I also love night scythes, basically the same as an annihilation bathe but faster, more mobile with transport for fifteen models, and you can have more in your amy! for just ten more points!)

You mean the Night Scythe you cannot assault out of and if you stay inside to not take small arms fire, then will be blown up and you're back in reserve? Do yuo mean that Night Scythe?

Yeah, this kind of sucks. Im posting a revised list later.

Oh and the cryptic war gear is there was because at the end i had 25 points left and nothing to buy.

Crypteks can only be attached to Warriors, Immortals, Lychguard, or Deathmarks. So the Cryptek/Doom Scythe combo will not work.

That said, I like the list. Perhaps you can use the points from the two Crypteks to bump up the two smaller Immortal units, add an annihilation barge, or even add some scarabs to the mix.

Cant they join a squad and go in there dedicated transport? they join the immortals not the scythe.

If you want Scythe spam you need Imotehk, because you need to seize on a 4+ and you need night fighting until you are in position with your frail scythes.

I have imotehk. Just he is represented by a guy who is not imotehk with all the same rules and points.

I was referring to this. I am unclear as to whether or not you are attempting to place crypteks in/with doom scythes. I might have been unclear about this in my previous post.

I like the list, I'm just not sure what you are trying to do with this bit.

Nope, thats the doom scythes name.

Kinda complicated, as they are te same as the cryptek conclaves.
But what with all those Night Scythes, maybe you could drop the Doom Scythe and opt for another monolith for some heavier armor. Then again, that doesn't leave you with much to counter AV 14 vehicles - something you'll most likely go against in a game of 2000 points.

Ah, ok. Now I am significantly less confused.
