Hey guys. I'm thinking of starting a necron force soon once I have all my Tau and BA sold. I was just wondering if I could have some very basic cron tactics bullet pointed.

Also. Would a list built around warriors in ghost arks and ani barges? Just literaly an HQ, 3 ani barges and then 3 or 4 full warrior squads in ghost arks?

The 6th edition Tactics thread that keeps getting bumped has quite a bit of good information in it.

AV13 heavy it a very solid build, particularly with people often going with Plasma over Missles/Melta as of late. Ani Barges, Ghost Arks, Stlakers, Doomsday Arks, and Catacomb Command Barges all fit in this build.

Wraiths are great. Dlord is great, particularly when attached to Triarch Praetorians or Wriaths.

Stormteks and Despairteks are great when attached to Warriors or Deathmarks in a Scythe. Lanceteks are good for back filed scoring units. Lord (with MSS, SW, RO, WS) is a good addition to any (large) unit you anticipate getting in close.

Nemesor is probably the most popular named Character, although Imo can be quite strong still with the right list (heavy CC/short ranged firepower) and Trazyn is a great way to make a Deathstar scoring (say a huge group of Lychguard or a Royal Court).

Also, if you're running Ghost Arks, I strongly recommend having one Brick of Warriors (15 to 20) on foot lead by a Phaeron Overlord. It will attract firepower and allow the Ghost Arks to do their thing.

I honestly haven't found a single unit that is unusable. The Elite section probably takes the most consideration on what you want the unit to do, what it's best at doing, and what you can put in to support it doing that.
