Hey Dakka, so I am getting my hands on some Necrons. This list is ultimately where I would like to take it. I however, am looking for advice since my main army is CSM and I don't really know a lot about Necrons. I'm looking to stay away from the flying bakery so I don't want anything more than two flyers. I need roughly 194 points to fill the list up. Thoughts on this? How are deathmarks and lychguard? I like their models but worry about their effectiveness.

Immortals are either 10 strong on don't go. If you want flyers, use 10 Man Immortal Squads and 10 Man Deathmark Squads (dropping your veil tek, he isn't needed anymore.

Naked warriors is always a bad idea. So much long range AP4 exists these days, that unless you're going 20 man blob w/ Res Orb and Ghost Ark support, it's just a waste.

I don't like wraiths without a Destroyer Lord or full wraith wing. You'd be better off with more Av13 or more Immortals.

Both Deathmarks and Immortals love Triarch Stalkers.

Do yourself a favor:
• Give one of those Nightscythes to the Deathmarks. Pinpoint insertion is better than risking a mishap when trying to kill a marked enemy (unless you're going to start them on the table for a first turn alpha strike, in which case, carry on).
• Switch the Warriors around so there's 17 walking and 5 riding in the Ghost Ark. You want those units with higher numbers for when you replace them later (if you've set the cap to 12, it's not really going to be worth it).
• Add a Storm-tek to one Gauss weapon unit in a Nightscythe (I prefer Gauss Immortals for this job). This strike unit can then be used to go vehicle hunting very effectively.
