So I'm trying to deside on how to expand my necron force so I was waondering, What should I get for it? and how should I equip the models I get?

So far I got
32 Warriors
10 Deathmarks
1 Overlord
5 Lychguard
1 Doomsday Ark (Also used as Ghost Ark)
1 Triarch Stalker
9 Scarab Swarms..? (I think it is 9 atleast..)

Any help and tips are welcome! Though I'd rather not use flyers.

Wraiths. They are arguably the best unit in the book, especially when you don't want to use flyers. You could give some of them Whip Coils, but I personally wouldn't bother.

What is it that makes Wraiths so good and superiour to the Lychguard? Lychguard have 1 higher strength and AP 1 from their Warscythes while Wraiths have 1 more attack and Rending.. And Lychguard are only 5 points more..

Wraiths are great fast attack units and well worth 35 pts each, Destroyers are also great marine killers and work really well for claiming objectives that allow FA to score.

Flyers get moaned about alot but thats really because WAAC players spam them using up to 9 in 2k lists, dont let that put you off using one or two nightscythes as transports does not make you a dick, using 6 + 3 doomscythe does.

I swear by immortals myself yes they are 4 points more but that gets you a better save and superior weapons, if you face horde armies the tesla rifle will become your best friend.

Oh yeah! I got a Annihilation barge too! Forgot about it because it is standing somewhere else and I havent realy used it yet. Thats where my Overlord is from. Some Immortals might be good. Is the Tessla Carbine the best weapon to equip them with?

Mobility Mobility Mobility!!! The fact that they are jump infantry makes it so much better. HoW hits, re-rolling charge distance (if you don't move twelve inches to get nice and close already). A constant 3+ Invuln, instead of a 3+ 4++. 2 wounds per wraith vs 1, more attacks, and a nice upgrade that means everyone else hits last in base contact. Not to mention Rending on the basic CC hits (strength 6 doesn't hurt either). The only only part where the LG when out is in the toughness department, 5 for the LG 4 for the Wraith. Sure the LG have RP, but then Wraiths are fearless. I've fielded both and always been impressed by the wraiths and disappointed by the LG.

I would pick up Immortals, Tesla is probably the best against space marines and what not, but against Tau, IG, and any other mech heavy lists, gauss is your best bet.

Crypteks are a good choice as well with lots of neat special abilities.

Tesla immortals ftw. They are pure AWSOME. Wraiths, either way. They are good but also draw a lot of fire. Some fliers are also useful.

Definitely some wraiths, they are so awesome and will leave you wanting more

Tesla weapons give you extra hits for every 6 you roll so say you fire 10 shots miss with 2 but roll a pair of sixes you'd actually have 12 hits over all.

And as for wraiths they are very fast not only because they are jump troops but because they can plain ignore terrain, they are str 6 meaning they can easily rip vehicles apart in close combat, they have rending so can do real damage to any infantry and they have a 3++ save making them hard to kill to boot.
