I don't know the IG list very well but I have an idea of what it was, no pictures because my camera battery died before we started the game.

We played Kill Points and the mission for 12" in on each long side of the board.

Crons (Me with 9 KP) 1495
Imotek
5x death marks (with a Veil Tek)
Stalker
10x Immortals with Tesla (joined by a Tremor Tek with crucible)
5x Warriors (with a D-Tek)
5x Warriors (with a D-Tek)
5x Wraiths (x3 coils and x1 caster)
2x Doom Scythes

The scythes and Death and Despair where deepstriked.

IG (12 KP)
2x Command squads
a large group of IG
A Chimera with 4/6 guys with weapons that overheat
A lasscannon group with 3 cannons
A rocketlauncher group of IG
2x Large blobs of IG with 2 rocket launcher things each
Rattling snipers
Valkyrie with a suicide squad of vets (reserved for outflanking)
And finally a lemon russ and another tank that uses a Non-LOS large blast gun

We both diced off and he rolled a 2 (to my 1) so he chose for me to go first. The pattern of failing starts here and just does not end from when we both played a Mordheim game earlier.

Deployment
The map was covered with buildings (9 ruins with 2 forests and some chest high walls for good measure), There was three buildings on each side of the board with one nice sized on in the middle of the board and a forest in the middle of each deployment zone, all of out troops deployed into ruins / our forests with only his Russ and Chimera and my Wraiths not being in cover, also his rattlings sneak into the building in the middle of the map to be annoying.

Crons Turn 1
I move my stalker up to the side of the building in the middle so I get cover saves while being in range of turn 2 assault along with running my wraiths along the outside of the board to go after his russ and a rocket unit in the corner, four units of his was spread across the 5 levels of a single ruin so I shied a bit around it for all that darn Dakka! Finally my Immortals scoot their way into the ruins my second squad of warriors where hanging out in (another 2 was rolled for their moving through terrain).

Shooting began and lighting takes effect with demolishing his rocket squad on the outside (only the two guys with rockets are left and pinned for failing their scared poopless test, we might have done that wrong but whatever) along with rolling a 6 on his no-los vehicle followed by two 1's with much ire from me, the only other victims of the lightning are his rattlings who lose two guys and his other outter most squad who loses one. My wraiths run and nothing else really does anything.

IG Turn 1
Nothing moves, he searchlights my stalker and pops smoke on his Chimera followed by giving a command to his Lass cannon team followed by taking off my Shielding (AV13 front to AV11 due to failing a save on a pen) though I make my Living armor roll on a Crew Stunned. To the surprise of both of us his Rattlings are the ones who takes my Stalker out with a wreck. The rest of his shooting phase sadly revolving around completely and utterly missing my wraiths with every single blast but 1 (out of around 10), but he does instant kills a whip wraith and wounds the normal one with his Russ.

Cron Turn 2
Night fighting continues and I rush my wraiths straight after his Russ and the rocket team as I prepare to multi assault them, Both the scythes come onto the board and I place each directly in front of their firing lines without scattering thanks to necron piloting. (one is within 6" of his tower of camping while the other is 9" from his Chimera) in the shooting phase lightning completely wiffed with all 1's and 2's. The first scythe doomrays his Chimera and four troops killing three but smoke saved his Chimera (rolled the pen and it would have been a wreck), the Tesla destructor however kills another four guys. The other Doomscythe wiffs against the No-LOS vehicle and only Shakes it but does kill two command squad lackies. A warrior squad kills a Rattling and the immortals and warriors shoot up his far squad of IG to kill three of them (cover kicks my bum).

In assault my wraiths KO both the squad and the Russ but takes two wounds from the two inch explosion leaving me with 2 coil wraiths (1 wound) and a caster wraith (1 wound), they consolidate into the building taking up a single level each.

IG Turn 2
His Valkary comes in directly behind my Scythe on the wraiths side (far side from all my shooting) and unloads it with his suicide squad of vets. He commands his Lass guns and they fire at the far Scythe, but are unable to see it due to night fight. (Instead of the closer one just 6~7 inches away). After unloading everything but the valkary into my two scythes both are left in smoking Crew Stunned results. Grenade and Rocket after rocket either missed (I guess it was because it was night) or failed to glance, I have a feeling something about veering slightly to the right had something to do with it. The Valkery kills my wounded Coil wraith and puts a wound on my last coil wraith leaving me with two 1W wraiths. (caster and coil)

Necron Turn 3
Night fight ends with a roll of a 2, I decide to run the wraiths at his suicide squad so the meltas don't double dice my scythe that's just out of range, not much shooting for me but I do kill another 2 rattlings and about five more IG with tesla along with doing nothing to his Chimera with a squad of warriors.

My deathmarks also come in and mark his most untouched unit of 2 missile bases with lots of IG meat shields but I scatter about 9" in the wrong direction (just out of template range) but my 5 rapid fire sniper rifles do kill four or so of them. In assault my wraiths win by one (2 IG die and the caster wraith loses his last wound to the IG squad leader), they aren't swept but do run right next to my Deathmarks.

IG Turn 3
Thanks to a command his vets regroup (was in 6" of my deathmarks) and the valkery and them decide to shoot up my deathmarks to hell killing them all. About 75% of the army shot into the Scythes again wiffing even more this time (lots of 1's on the damage table allowing living metal to honey badger the results, because honey badger don't care), also his rattlings kill my last wraith. The NO-LOS vehicle drops a pie plate on one of my warrior units killing three which one comes back. Also two of his overheating guns overheat and blow up from inside the Chimera.

Cron Turn 4
Extremely happy I get to use my scythes even more after waiting for two weeks to use them I move one toward the middle of the board while the other near his almost dead unit on the outside that I've been steadily shooting at with my immortals, when shooting the death rays each one picked a vehicle and hit a few troops, both wiffed with a 1 to glance followed by a 2 or 3 on the damage chart, however with the Tesla and Death ray one of his big blocks with the Rocket platforms is wittled down to the two platforms and four guys left, another one rattling dies and his outside squad finally dies as I move my immortals out of cover for one final Hurra.

Now for the shining moment of my wraith side DoomScythe as I remember correctly what happened, I placed the starting point Directly on the corner of the No-Los vehicle (hits him automatically) and I rolled high enough to hit the Valkary behind me along with three guys in the command squad, all of them wreck and die leaving just his special guy in the command squad left with a single wound who finally dies from my Tesla Destructor.

IG Turn 4 (Cron 6 KP, IG 3 KP)
After shooting what is left, I lose nothing but finally he completely destroys my wraith side scythe after destroying both weapons and then wrecking it with his rattlings (who makes over 3 times their points value back thanks to their amazing tank hunting abilities).

Crons Turn 5
We're wrapping it up as it is almost time to leave so I make pot shots at his second command squad with my last doom scythe and I weapon destroy his Chimera, the immortals runs completely out of cover and finishes off his big block of IG in the trees and another rattling dies (I have no idea how many he had, but there is about 3~5 left).

IG Turn 5
He Immobilizes and Stunes the last Scythe, the rattlings stun it again just to make sure.

End of Game Report (Crons win with 8 KPs against IG with 4KP)
It was my first time against foot IG and I was amazed by how many blast templates he could throw out, though BS3 sure did save my bacon along with very unlucky rolls, though bad rolling was shared by both though luckily my average rolls where less important. Definitely his VIP unit was the rattlings with two of the 3 vehicles I brought under their belt, I think my champ was the one doomscythe who took three units out on turn 4.

Also here is a very crummy drawn map of what happened with arrows at where things went.

Nice map Great batrep, you could maybe make it a bit more narrative - as in, make a bit more of a story of it, but it was very good anyways.
