I've been playing around with various builds of Necrons since planning my royal court listing and have been dwelling on a largely fast list to try and avoid the CC weaknesses of the Necron build. Having overcome my dislike of building up the Barges and their relatively low cost I find these to be a great focus for the list.

Overlord (180)
War Scythe, Command Barge

Royal Court (65):
1 Harbinger of Destruction, Solar Pulse

Immortals (85)
5 Immortals with Gauss

Immortals (85)
5 Immortals with Tesla

Warriors Squad (104)
8 Warriors

Tomb Blades x 5 (150)
Particle Shredder

Destroyers x 3 (140)
1 Heavy

Annihilation Barge (90)
Tesla Cannon

Annihilation Barge (90)
Gauss Cannon

Just short of 1000

This leaves me with 3 AV13 vehicles as the centre point for my list, the Lord is free to sweep over enemy heavies and tanks to hunt them out with its lighter gun in support. Each of the other barges will be supported by either the blades or destroyers to lay down alot of anti-infantry (or light vehicle) fire power and suppress any attempts to get CC units into the main body of the troops in the list.

The cryptek will accompany the warriors to give him some degree of shielding, likely using his pulse very early in the game to allow the faster units to get into position.

The immortals will take and hold any vital points.

Anti-tank wise I have the Scythe Lord, 1 Heavy Destroyer, 1 Eldritch Lance and a bunch of lighter weaponry.
Anti-Infantry I have: 2 Tesla Destructors, 2 Tesla Cannons, 3 Gauss Cannons, 5 Particle thingys, 5 gauss blasters etc...

Any C&C would be great.

Cheers

Ricki
