Please tell me what you guys think. be kind, but not too kind.

With so much transport and veiltec in main troop unit - drop Monolith.
Use the points you get to purchase more Wriaths (3 is a fail) and perhaps 3rd Annihilation Barge (those are very good all-purpose support vehicles)

This.

However, with some of those spare points, put MSS on the overlords. The barge lord would be more useful with SW for when he is out of the barge. I would suggest that a phase shifter might help on the Orb overlord - but I play against opponents with a lot of power weapons. Also, I'm not a fan of gauntlet of fire, I'd prefer a war scythe for the extra 5 points because the scythe is more value in CC.

Okay, if I remove the Gauntlet overlord along with the veiltek and the monolith, I have points toput Zandrek and Obyron in that unit of immortals. and If I take one of the immortals out that,s room for 5 Wraiths instead of 3 with 3 whip coils.

So itg would be more like this:

HQ

Necron Overlord
-Warscythe
-CCB

Nemessor Zahndrekh

Vargard Obyron

Troops

8 Warriors w/2 Destruction Crypteks
-Ghost Ark
-Solar Pulse

8 Warriors w/2 Destruction Crypteks
-Ghost Ark
-Solar Pulse

9 Immortals w/ Zahndrekh and Obyron
-Tesla Carbines

Elite

Triarch Stalker
-Heat Ray

Triarch Stalker
-Particle Sredder

Fast Attack

5 Wraiths
-3x Whip Coils

Heavy Support

Annihialiation Barge

Annihialiation Barge


So far, in the few games I have played. The Monolith has been a problem for my opponent. But on the other hand in both games I used the veiltek Immortals, I ended up leaving them too close to the opponent's edge where they were assaulted and locked. (They put up a damn good fight and kept 2 genestealers locked for 3 turns the one game, and got swept in another). With Nemessor and Obyron, I can have all that with a warscythe, a veil I can use in combat, a rex orb, 2 semp weaves and phase shifter. All that is heavy on points though and makes me a little nervous

Works for me.

Minor point with the warriors - you might consider dropping the unit to 5 warriors, using the spare points for some upgrades for the barge lord. MSS and SW (even add PS) make a big difference once the CCB gets shot down and the warriors have ghost ark support anyway.

Damn, that's much better!
I'll echo MarkCron's suggestion to reduce the Warriors down to free up extra points, but I would suggest using them to get Zahndrekh & Obyron's unit a Chrono-tek and a Lightning-tek (being able to reroll Obyron's scatter dice pays for itself, plus being able to abuse the ResOrb via rerolls. not to mention those tesla carbines will love you forever if they have a chance to turn a into a )

You can'y have 4 Destruction Crypteks because you can only have one of the Harbingers per Royal Court.

@ evildog112 please read the little paraghraph marked * at the bottom of page 90 in the necron codex, this will clear it up for you.
If you ddont have the codex handy then too sum it up since he has 2 courts he could potentially take 10 crypteks and upgrade them all to Harbingers of Destruction as it clearly states you can take ay number of a specific harbinger, the Necron FAQ states all of these would need to have the upgraded weapon in this case the eldritch lance, however the optional wargear (Gaze of Flame and Solar Pulse) may be taken only once in a royal court, this means he could have upto 10 eldritch lances but only 2 Gaze of Flame or Solar Pulses in his army, 4 Destruction Cryteks are allowed as long as only 2 have the wargear.

Okay, my next question is with the Lancetekx with Tank hunters paired with the warscythe in Obyron.... Is it still necessary to have the second overlord? Sure I'll be losing one of the solar pulses, but I have room for the Chronotek and another Anni barge. Plus probably some points left over for something a bit more situational ie. deathmarks or destroyers.

By the way, my opponent list is improving but right now I play mostly against an artillery/infantry heavy IG army, and a tyranid army with a few MC's

Keep in mind: without the second Overlord, you will only be able to attach one Cryptek to a unit. (this may drastically change the way you will play your army).

OK, that makes sense now. I was looking at it like only one Harbinger type per court. Thanks for clarifying it.

You meant re roll one of the D6s from Obyron's scatter dice, not the scatter dice itself right? I thought that this was still iffy (same with LD and Morale rolls?). The YMDC thread on this died.
