Hi all, I've recently started a Necron army with four boxes of Warriors (48 total). The next step is to start field-testing them, but I've already started playing around with some theory. What do you think of the viability of this list for tournaments? I know the two Doom Scythes is a little spammy, but they're d#mn awesome! However I'm considering removing one Doom Scythe and replacing it with a second Monolith.

I truly think the monoliths suck. I'd replace it with something a bit more useful like wraiths or an annihilation barge.

I think your points are wrong for HQ's
Ive used the stalker in about 3 games now, and its never been worth bringing :S just my experience

monoliths can be very good if used correctly. just centralise it in an advancing battleline and you'll do ok.

Deepstriking T4 3+Sv units are minced with a single whip, it can reap some impressive kill counts on other units as well. Crisis Suits, Vanguard Vets, Storm Troopers, Id drop it on Termies as well, force some saves. S8 Ord can also help vs most vehicles in the game
