I came up with an infantry list that so far has worked well. Still needs more play testing for tourney on the 28 up here in Seattle.

Imotehk
Nemissor Zed
Oberon

court:
2 despair cryteks with viel
1 storm with both items
1 eternity with Chrono

4 lords with WS, mind shackle, 3 rez orbs


10x tesla Immortals
10x tesla Immortals
10x gauss Immortals


10x Triarch Pretorians with sword/pistol
10x Death Marks
20x Flayed Ones



The basic premise is that if i am going up against an opponent that can Deep strike in 1st turn...I can do the same. Ideally I would start on the table with Zedrekh & Stormlord with 10x Guass Immortals( lord& Chrono tek). then everthing can deep strike onto table 1st turn if lets say someone has drop pod assualt or deathwing assualt. If not i can do all kinds of other fun stuff...infiltrate the flayed ones or even outflank. If there is no reserves, I would start everything on the table most likely. Oberyn would be with Deathmarks+storm tek+lord. with 3 units that can Deep strike around the table randomly, I should be able to keep my opponent on there toes.

Let me know what flaws you see.

Thanks

It just seems like your anti-armor is extremely limited for a 2500 point game. If your opponent is mechanized you can for the most part only stun lock them with your gauss immortals. Praetorians can use their entropic strike sure, but they only get 2 attacks on the charge...

Why Praetorians? They are really underpowered against actual troops, you'd be better off with lychguard as a bodyguard and melee tanking force, if not i'd take multiple wings of wraiths instead.

Deathmarks can be useful against IC's and MC's
Flayed ones are really only useful when using Imotehk, but you seem to have a plan for them, so I guess they should stay as melee screen and tarpit.

On another note, are you sure this adds up to 2500 points? Seems rather light for 2500

Zedrek also always you to give a special ability to a unit, lets say Tank hunter to one of the immortal squads or furious charge to the flayed ones. Praetorians actually have 2 base because of the close combat weapon/pistol. they can kill tanks/dreadnaughts, certain types of infantry.

I don't have any of the old wraith models, otherwise i'd have at least a unit of 5.

Ideally my opponent spreads his forces around the table unsure as to my intentions, at which point a strike at the weakest point with my Veil units under cover of night fighting.

Its 2500 points...80 models...the HQs alone is like 1100 points or so. My necron lists are very HQ driven, the troops tend to be cannon fodder.

Any other concerns or comments.

cannon fodder? really? troops in a necron army are just as, if not more, important than hq. you always have to keep the phase out rule in mind.

Ain't no kill like overkill.

Nah, they took away phase out. There were a few tweaks, necrons are a little less likely to come back, but they don't lose if they look 75% of their troops or whatever anymore. (Thank god)
That specific reason is why I chose Necrons as my 1st army.
