Hi guys,

I am considering building a new Necron tournament army and wanted to get some advice from people who use them

Here is what I was planning:

Overlord with Warscythe, Mindshackle scarabs and Resurrection orb 145 points

Royal Court, Cryptek with Tremorstave, Cryptek with Tremorstave, Lord with Warscythe and Resurrection Orb 135 points

C'Tan Shard with Writhing Worldscape and Grand Illusion 260 points

10 Immortals 170 points

10 Immortals 170 points

10 Immortals 170 points

3 Destroyers 120 points

Triarch Stalker 150 points

Annihilation Barge 90 points

Annihilation Barge 90 points

1500 Points

I think the army has reasonable firepower with 3 units of Immortals, Annihilation Barges and Destroyers to deal with most armies, and the combination of the C'Tan's abilities and the tremorstaves causes two units of my choosing (if I can hit them that is to move through dangerous terrain, which will slow down and thin out the opponents assault elements, especially anything with jump or jetpacks as they will be failing their dangerous terrain tests on 1's and 2's instead of just 1's.

Cheers for any advice given guys, look forward to hearing what you all think

As much as I tried to make destroyers work when the new codex dropped they are pitifully over priced for their table top value. Everything they do can be done better by torrent fire from other 24" shooting specialists which are in abundance in the necron codex.

I also find Immortals work wonderfully with no Lord or Overlord support at all so dropping a lord for another termor tek or even a Solar Pule cryptek would help a bunch. I would vote for the solar pulse as a C'tan can be focused down.

I would also vote for a CCB for the overlord. Going the Writhing Worldscape route keeps necrons from taking a lot of Eldrich lances which means less anti tank. A CCB Overlord would help shore up that gap in the list.
