Hey,

Can you add anrakyr the traveller and à cryptek in the same squad whit my lychguards?

And can't decied to pick à doomsday ark or An other 10 immortals.
Already got 2 squads of each 10 immortals and 2 squads of 5 lychguards.

Yes you can. You add the Cryptek from the Royal Court and then Anrakyr can join as an independant character.

À Nice 2 zapping hard hitting close combat units

Now what About the doomsday ark i like the model and whit the stalker in my army it could do alot of dmg if i get THE special rule of THE stalker twin linked

And immortals whit gauss blaster or the tesla?
Thinking About the tesla becaus of the hit roll rule but gauss is better for tanks right?

Well, I think that depends on what you already have in your list. If you already have lots of firepower but not many scoring units, go for the immortals. If you already have lots of scoring but not too much firepower, I'd probably say the Doomsday Ark.

Well i got 4 scoring units 2 imortal squads of 10 man each and 2 lychguards 5 man each and both got hq or à cryptech in them so they can zap from place 2 place. And like i sayed i like the arks looks

Yeah I like the Ark. Unfortunately Lychguard don't score objectives as they're Elites, so I'd probably go with the Immortals. Or you could go for a higher points level and take both.

Immortals are very inexpensive and can be fairly tough with their 3+ armor save.

Lychguard are great but they eat a huge chunk of points in the army. Also run them with a lord with a resurection orb and no less than about 7 lychguard or they can be wiped out easily.

The necron army is one of the few that benefits greatly by having larger unit sizes over more smaller units because of reanimation protocols, if all the models in a unit are killed and dont have everliving the entire unit is wiped out and you wont get to make reanimation protocol rolls.

i got à stalker also but heard its not the best. Mabey i gonne make 1 unit of 7 lychguards whit the power weapon and shield.
Then i could add An other unit of 7 immortals to my army. But then i keep THE stalker if i loos that i got An other 150 pts to spend.

Usually stalkers are best fielded in pairs because 1 is a target but 2 is threat. The stalkers can unleash some nice long range(well for necron anyways) anti-tank shots, or the default load out isn't bad either and the targeting relay is incredibly nice. The downside to them is they are very slow being walkers and have trouble keeping up with the rest of a mechanized list. I've had great luck with just a single one but you need to keep it a bit more protected with only 1.

If you can spare the points a lord with a warscythe, res orb, and mindshackle scarabs can give them some real survivability. The res orb means the lychguard come back more often and that great cause they are spendy and it hurts to lose them. The scythe give you a nice anti-tank weapon if you need it and helps against MC because it wounds them easily. The scarabs are great for fighting MC and characters who are on their own(Mephiston, the Sanguinor, and other non-blood angels characters) as there's about a 50% chance(at LD 10) that the enemy attacks himself instead of you, or they are great for reducing the number of attacks your opponents make while increasing your number of attacks that round. Definitely go sword and shield for this load out.

With a lord loaded out like this my squad of immortals + lord can routinely beat an MC in CC.

A squad like I described can be a real pain for an enemy to deal with.

And take them whit shield or the warscythe?

Shield on the lychguard
warsythe on the lord
If you can go with a squad of 7+ lychguard so it's harder to get them pushed to where they can't use repair protocols, unless your deep striking(which sounds like what your doing) then try to keep the squad smaller..

Yep thats what i gonne do. Put vargard and à lord whit the stuff you told me then they can zap out of combat if its geta to hard.
So then i got à lord whit warscythe and 5 lychguards whit powerweapon and shield for 5 points per model.

Other points more immortals and scarabs alrdy got 3 spyders.
