Currently in a league and we're about to jump from 850 to 1000pts in a couple of weeks and am curious to get people's recommendations on how I can/should augment what I currently have.

+++ Necron (850) (849pts) +++ +++ 850pt Necrons 6th Ed (2011) Roster (Primary Detachment)) +++ Selections: Necrons 6th Ed (2011) (Primary Detachment) Selections: + HQ + (240pts) * Necron Overlord (240pts) (Ever-Living, Independent Character, Reanimation Protocols) Mindshackle Scarabs (15pts) (Mindshackle Scarabs), Sempiternal Weave (15pts) (Sempiternal Weave), Warscythe (10pts) * Royal Court (110pts) * Harbinger of Destruction (35pts) (Ever-Living, Reanimation Protocols) Eldritch Lance * Necron Lord (75pts) (Ever-Living, Reanimation Protocols) Mindshackle Scarabs (15pts) (Mindshackle Scarabs), Sempiternal Weave (15pts) (Sempiternal Weave), Warscythe (10pts) + Troops + (339pts) * Necron Immortals (170pts) * 10x Necron Immortal (170pts) (Reanimation Protocols) 10x Tesla Carbine (Tesla Weapon) * Necron Warriors (169pts) * 13x Necron Warrior (169pts) (Reanimation Protocols) 13x Gauss Flayer (Gauss Weapon) + Fast Attack + (180pts) * Necron Destroyers (180pts) (Preferred Enemy (Everything!), Reanimation Protocols) * 3x Heavy Destroyer (180pts) 3x Heavy Gauss Cannon (Gauss Weapon) + Heavy Support + (90pts) * Annihilation Barge (90pts) (Living Metal, Quantum Shielding) Tesla Cannon (Tesla Weapon), Twin-Linked Tesla Destructor (Arc, Tesla Weapon)


This list has done well for me since there have been restrictions on single model size (200pts) and number non-troop/hq choices (3). When we move to 1000pts in a few weeks, those restrictions will be off. Not many people are using flyers nor monstrous creatures at the moment but I expect them to exist once we move to 1000.

What's been working
- AB has been good at AI.
- Heavy Destroyers and the destructek has been good at eliminating enemy armor and smaller units.

What hasn't been working
- With only 2 scoring units, I forego the ability to capture 3 objectives if the mission has such. (Thankfully missions have been mixed between a spread of mission scenario books)
- Res Orbs - for 30pts, I have only rolled 2 4's in the past 3 games for Resurrection Protocol. This is why I have not included them in the above list.
- Heavy Destroyers tend to have a target painted on them - I have to try and keep my Heavy Destroyers at max range in order to keep them safe.
- Monstrous Creatures are taxing to fight and annoying when ignored.
- Inability to grab line-breaker or contest backfield objectives effectively

Posting points on wargear like that is going to get you mobbed. Might want to remove that and just post the generic "unit" points.

The list is pretty good. The lord is a little costly for a warrior escort. I would add a few more warriors to the blob and add a resorb. Once you get to a certain point the resorb pays for itself many times over. Having a ghost ark to back up large warrior blobs is also nice. Between 4+ RP and repair barge, you have a tough little unit.

AB is always good, adding a second one is even better. 2 is 1 and 1 is none.

Heavy Destoryers are just to expensive for my taste. With only one wound and one shot each. They just cost to much for what you can get out of them. Given that for just a few poitns more you could field an entire wraith unit.

MC are interesting. They are week to vof, poison and annoying things like rend.In your army, ABs, Wraiths, loaded overlords stand the best chances to take them down with the least amount of impact to the unit.

You are also starting to enter the world of flyer builds. Deathmarks with a Despairtek. Or warriors with stormtek kind of builds.
