Hey guys this is my first post here, Just thought I'd post and see what opinions people have of my Necron list I currently field. Just so you all know I'm not a tournament player nor do i plan to be. I play socially with friends, before taking a few months break I was doing well against them all. Though now they have recently had new codexs released and updates i.e. one switched to Tau,another plays Eldar and one playing nids. We play a campaign where for victory and loses we earn conquest points which we spend on upgrades for our Warlords. Please feel free to ask questions about conquest abilities that can be earned and I currently posses. Alos 5 point levy.
Enough about the circumstances I play in. lol.

Destroyer Lord
Mindshackle Scarabs
Sempiternal weave 160

4x 10 Necron Immortals/ Tesla Carbines 680

4 Night Scythes 400

Canoptek Wraiths whip Coils 11, (4,4, 3) 495

Annihilation barge-Tesla 3 270


Also may i add that with the campaign that we if we trade something in we only get half the points worth back, to stop us picking and changing to suit against each battle thus encouraging us to build a versatile army that can do what needs to be done.
Destroyer Lord goes with the 3 man squad or wraiths
Immortals hold objectives and everything else just goes and does what it need too.
Anyway there ya goes.
I'm looking forward to having it ripped to shreds

I really love your campaign idea!!

I would put the wraith squads in a 6 and a 5, and have the destroyer lord join the 5 man wraith squad.. He can take a few hits up front as he is T6 and thus can't be instant killed through S8 weapons.. If he does get down to one wound you can just look out sir on a 2+.

What is your plan of dealing with AV13 and AV14? You only really have a destroyer lord with warscythe, although you could get the wraiths with their S6 hitting the rear armour and being able to destroy all but AV14.

It could always be optimised but as you said yourself, you are not a tournament player so I think you have a really solid list!

Warscythe is free.
and part of the original cost


And it comes down to anything tough, normally falls down to the wraiths.

although you could get the wraiths with their S6 hitting the rear armour and being able to destroy all but AV14.

Wraiths can rend 14 rear armour

Running several of the immortal squads as gauss might be a good idea though, adds some more anti-AV whatever.

At the min, My friends don't have much heavy armour for me to worry about yet, one is fielding hornets, -_-. which I think will be troublesome.:((
Yeah relying on the gauss, to chip away at hull points. hmm...

I also never questioned the points cost of a Warscythe, just only having one proper weapon at armour 14 isn't great.

10 Immortals rapid firing 20 shots hit about 13 times, which gets you 2 glances. I'd say swapping all the immortals to gauss will help out a lot!

Thats if they don't get shot or assaulted before they get anywhere near the vehicles they need to get too and with overwatch, I'd rather have tesla.
Generally it's take too long to get across the board to shoot at somebodies let alone them leave it so I could get within 12".
Was thinking about maybe deepstriking a squad against the eldar and tau in order to get behind and gauss the back of a few things.

Thats if they don't get shot or assaulted before they get anywhere near the vehicles

I find 15 warriors or 14 warriors + lord (with res orb) in a nightscythe is an effective anti-vehicle unit. They are also hard to shift from an objective (bar assaulting them with dedicated CC units)

That would mean having to drop a squad of immortals, and probably a wraith or two. I think just slinging the squad in the nightscythe for turn 2 will make them enough of a problem to make my friends focus on them rather then the wraiths.
Lots of ides to think about.
