Just wondering what the good Ork units there are against Necrons. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Good ork lists should have everything you need.
A better question is about tactics and which units of necrons should you watch.

Stormboyz have increased value.
Rockets are needed to deal with their av13.
Looted wagons can be great as templates are useful against scarabs.

I think slugga boys are pretty effective but they cant hurt any cron armor and will have some trouble killing T5 units .Nobs are one of the better options since there are very few Str8 weps in a cron army so you cant get doubled out to easy.And against things like lychguard/wraiths you can spread around the wounds without much fear. Big choppas will be great against scarabs and most of the T5 units. Only downside would be a nightmare shroud making you run off the board. Lootas are horrible at killing Quantum shields since they cant pen and most glances will get living metal'd which means you need to take rokkits to threaten.

KFF meks will help give you coversaves against all those tesla weapons.

Might want to look into a unit of tankbustas as well. 15 rokkits will do a job on any Necron armor, knock out full scarab bases per rokkit, and leave their troopers relying on 5+ repair protocalls to keep from dying.

Then you have the standard PK nobs and biker nobs that just knock things down with weight of attacks - self generating cover saves + FNP will really be nice as well.

Thanks! More please!

Rokkit buggies can do wonders for cheap. They are fast so can out flank and hit that nasty doom barge (the abrge with the big cannon the crons don't want you to shoot at, can't remember the real name). Kans with rokkits. BW bash (deffrolla will eat trought AV13).

Tank hunters could bite you back if you make a mistake with them, they'll end up getting quiteed and not able to shoot anything for the whole game.

Problem with Deffrollas is that all Necron vehicles (except the Triarch Stalker) are skimmers, so they have a chance of dodging the ram from the BW.

true, that's when you unload and charge that PK into the skimmer (and hope for the best)

Sadly, Orks do not have a lot of effective shooting weapons to hit anything over AV12.

As a Necron player, i'd be afraid of a unit of Nob bikers...
Burnas could do a number as well

rokkit buggies are pretty valuble vs vecrons, if they play scarab farm you can throw wounds on the ... whatever it is that poops scarabs

vs mech crons you can throw 9 tl str8 rokkits at af13 which is nice. also don't forget

also don't underestimate how well a pk can bust a vehicle. warboss on a bike paired with nobv bikers (one of the only armies I'll pair em against) 3pl nobz for 12 str 9 pk attacks, and 5 str 10 pk attacks from he warboss will probably break an av13 vehicle and should at least pen for reduced armour

You've got to be tactical, but Killa Kanz with Grotzookaz will annihilate Scarabs.

Lots of boys.

You definitely need as many rokkits as you can get, otherwise AV13 spam is going to break your neck. Even after the shields are gone, rear armor 11 makes it hard to deal with most of their vehicles, as boyz can't scratch them.

Orks are a pretty good matchup vs Necrons. Necrons have a 24" range with most of their guns. With Ghazzy, you can get that as an assault from a BW.

Nobs on bikes also are a pain for Necrons. Green tide are a pain for necrons, etc.

Orks also have a good counter to wraiths. Who cares if you have a 3++ save if you are attacked 80 times in assault.

So long as you army is not full of looted wagons and flashgitz, you should be fine.

Thanks for all your replies!
