Hey guys, I'm thinking about making a necron army and I just want to know what everyone thinks is essential in a 1500pts army and different tactics. Sorry if there isn't much direction but at the minute I'm just looking for ideas.
Thanks in advance

For starters a basic 1500 list you are going to want to buy an Overlord in a CCB. At least one squad of wraiths (half with whip coils) maybe 2 squads. And either Tesla immortals or warriors with crypteks attached. The cryptek you pick depends strongly on your play style.

Annihilation barges also tend to go a long way so thoes would not be a bad pick up either.

Well, what kinda army do you want? There are a lot of different builds that Necrons can make work.
Scarab farming/night fighting abuse
wraithwing / more night fighting abuse
footslogging /even more night fighting abuse
Mech spam (av 13 wall)
Tremorcrons

The biggest thing is to get some kinda idea of what army appeals to you.
