This is my first real sit down and revised list after playing my necrons a couple games. Being new to the warhammer game in its entirety any insight would be wonderful.

Here it is

240pts- Necron Overlord, upgraded to warscythe
-Phaeron,mms,res orb, semp weave, phase shifter, phylacery, and a tachyon arrow.


360pts in troops
10x warriors
10x warriors
10x warriors

10x deathmarks = 190pts

Destroyer Lord with sempt weave,res orb, tachyon arrow 200pts

1 night scythe 100pts
2x doom scythes 350pts

and 2x doomsday arks 350pts
_______________________________________________________


My plan is to run the overlord with 10 warriors in the night scythe and hopefully in the later stages of the game I can pop out near an objective and disembark. and the lord can take everything thrown at him pretty much

Run the destroyer lord with the 10 man deathmark squad, so he can tank the wounds and give all the deathmarks the reroll bonus, and that helps alot on the marked squad they want to shoot at.

Use the other warriors for they shooty shooty and hopefully not too much else, maybe try and keep scary enemy models locked in combat for a turn or two

Doomsday arks for artillery support, while scythes do straif runs.


I feel i have a good balance of Troops/elites/heavy choices, what do you guys think?

Take the points off your units.. It's illegal.

Drop the phaeron on the lord, it's pointless. Plus the points cost of your doomsday arks is wrong. Otherwise it seems interesting. Let me know how you get on

Woops, the points arent wrong but you need to get rid of them. I'd drop tachyon arrow, and the phylactery off the lord and drop the tachyon arrow from the destroyer lord. May be best to out the Deathmarks in a night scythe to remove the threat of deep striking

If there is one thing I learned quickly with Necron OL's its to keep the wargear cut down to what they strictly need to accomplish their task (So likely Just a WS, MSS, Sep Weave) would suffice.

You've got all the heavy heavy cannons in the list, this looks like a gunline army, ideally you should neverr get warriors into CC. Sure, they are fairly resilient, and they have decent WS, but thats their only saving grace. I'd honestly drop the destroyer lord completely, grab a VoD cryptek for the deathmarks, and then grab a triarch stakler to twin-link your doomsday arks, and you should still ahve points left over to spare!

You have 4 heavy support units. The destroyer lord is best taken with wraiths or forgive me for saying this, flayed ones. You look to be running a very shooty army. I also like the stalker with a shooty army for the twin linking factor. Just think about dropping the deathmarks in next to the target they maked and using the stalker to twin link them in rapidfire range. Re-rollable 3+ and 2+ to wound with 20 dice is nasty. A cryptek in each warrior unit would make them a little more survivable due to everliving. I would recommend dropping the phaeron upgrade. The only use of it is you can assault after the warriors rapidfire and with this list you don't want to assault unless you absolutely have to. I love annihilation barges with the tesla destructor so if you are set on your heavy choices I would get 2 more nightscythes with the points you free up because they are a faster and harder to kill annihilation barge for 10 points more.
