Hi everyone!
My brother and I watched a game of WH40k between a couple of mutual acquaintances and decided to give it a try ourselves. Neither of us have a ton of extra income at the moment, so we decided to start smallish, 500 or 600 points. I've taken a liking to Necrons and he to Tau, so I'm looking for army lists at that budget that we could scale up to 1000 as we go. Any advice for a couple of noobs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

For my necron army I was thinking maybe:

Overlord: Sempiternal Weave, Mindshackle Scarabs,War Scythe - 130 Points

Immortals x5 With a Nightscythe - 185 Points

Warriors x5 - 65 Points
-------------------------------------------------------------- Total 380

With Either:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy Destroyer - 60 Points

Wraith x3: Whip Coils - 135 Points

Immortal x1 added to the Nightscythe Squad - 17 Points
--------------------------------------------------------------- Total 592

OR

--------------------------------------------------------------
Annihilation Barge - 90 Points

Command Barge - 80 Points

Switch the warriors to Immortals and add 2 more to the Nightscythe Squad - 54 Points
--------------------------------------------------------------- Total 604

I like the Deathmarks a lot, but couldn't figure out how to shoe horn them in.

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka
