In the wargear section of the necron rule book it says that warscythes add 2 to your strength and wounds caused dont allow armor save...Furthermore you roll 2d6 for armor pen...What does that mean? If you roll 2d6 the most you can get is 12, the least is 2, and the best armor save you can have is 2+...And if you ignore armor saves, why roll armor pen at all?
Thanks for your time!

Armour pen is for use against vehicles, so in this case 2D6 + strength

As above. Vehicles you roll Armour Penetration, whcih is usually Strength + D6 - here you get 2D6 instead.

Against non-vehicles you roll to-wound, so ignore the extra D6 and just use your strength, +2 because of the warscythe

Ohhh ok duh awesome yeah thats not bad at all...Guess its Warscythes over voidblades then! Thanks! Awesome that means at strength 7 id need a 7 to glance a 14 armor value...sounds great!

If you're going to start swinging at vehicles, have another read of page 63. It has the rules you'll need to know for what you have to roll to hit and so on.

Just think necron overlord. Catacomb command barge. Using a sweep attack vs a vehicle.
