Me and my bro have decided to mock lists with armies that neither of us play. I decided to go necrons and this is the list I will be playing him with. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Drop the Night Scythe & the third Warrior squad. Get some Lychguard.

What do I do with the lychguard? foot slog them, or switch the night scythe to transport them?

I don't have much experience with crons, but why drop the night scythe? At 100 points a flyer that has good anti flyer guns ( or light vehicles/ infantry without much armour) that can transport my cc or short ranged units where they need to be seems great to me. Am I missing something about them?

If you have the points, switch the scythe to the Lychguard, and have the Overlord join the Lychguard.

The only thing you may be missing about Night Scythes is that they are a drop-off only in RAW (wether this is RAI will remain to be seen)

A guy I play who plays crons, uses 2 or 3 Annihilation Barges and he usually tables most of his opponents in 3-4 turns. Worth a thort?

Anni barges are good, but slightly overrated IMO. I usually take one, and keep the other slots for Monoliths/Doom Scythes

Yeah well he relies a lot on good dice rolls for his tesla cannon shots

I have no complaints about using several Annihilation barges. 2-3 of those with 1-2 Night scythes are a lot of tesla..

I think for 1k, spending 200 on a squad of Lychguard is asking a lot. When I do 1k games it's all warriors and immortals with as many TD as I can get. You may want to try a Destroyer Lord with a squad of 20 warriors for the PE.

at 1k points annihilation barges are awesome because they are so cheap and versatile they deal with light vehicles, infantry and even flyers better than most.

as for lychguard i'm still not convinced to take them at higher points and certainly not at 1k points

as for night scythes are nice and not to expensive but i would try to fit a HoS cryptek in the squad with the scythe for anti tank awesomeness, as for if night scythe drop works it got faq'ed to confirm how far you can move and drop and to what effect it has on the dropping troops so i don't think they will change that the only thing that isnt 100% is if troops inside still take the str 10 hits before coming on the board from reserve.
