Throwing around a few different list ideas ... I was planning on running a AV 13 wall, but after playing DA dakka banner tri-raider alot of my opponets have been stacking anti-armor all over. This list keeps a warrior block with ark repair just a little bit of fliers for stormtek suicide / AA, good deal of AV 13, and gauss immortals with a veiltek for deep striking fun.

Necron Overlord (Warscythe, Mind Shackle Scarabs, Resurrection Orb, Sempiternal Weave) – 160
{Attached to the Unit of 15 Necron Warriors}

Royal Court (2 Harbingers of Destruction, Solar Pulse, Harbinger of the Storm, Harbinger of Despair, Veil of Darkness) – 175
{Both Harbingers of Destruction are each attached to a Unit of Necron Warriors Inside Ghost Arks; The Harbinger of the Storm is attached to the Unit of Necron Warriors deployed inside a Night Scythe; The Harbinger of Despair is attached to the Unit of Necron Immortals}

Necron Warriors (15 Necron Warriors) – 195
Necron Warriors (5 Necron Warriors, Ghost Ark) – 180
Necron Warriors (5 Necron Warriors, Ghost Ark) – 180
Necron Warriors (5 Necron Warriors, Night Scythe) – 165
Necron Immortals (10 Necron Immortals with Gauss Blasters) – 170

Annihilation Barge (Telsa Destructor, Tesla Cannon) – 90
Annihilation Barge (Telsa Destructor, Tesla Cannon) – 90
Annihilation Barge (Telsa Destructor, Tesla Cannon) – 90

= 1495

Not the biggest fan of warrior block but its an easy way to fit the overlord in for a court and keep him in a somewhat durable unit & I don't have the cash to get a CCB after picking up the rest of my anni barges.

The list has a good deal of firepower, mobility, and some staying power with the warrior block with res orb / ark repair.

Thoughts on how it will fare?

I would get rid of a harbinger of destruction and a ghost ark put the other 5 warriors in the nightscythe with the harbinger of storm an get something more elite like a squad of 5 wraiths they soak up fire they can hurt larger things like MC as long as you have whip coils. Other than that its mass anti vehicle and lots of tesla too. The list seems more or less in balance.

I like the list. I would suggest that you change the Immortals to Tesla (no point getting into rapid fire range). I'd also put the overlord with the immortals.

I think keeping the scythe warriors is a good idea, because it gives you way better mobility.

Re the LanceTeks, you can leave them as a royal court and keep them as a pair. If you do this, I'd put them in a GA (so you have a blob of 15 with GA - the lanceteks go in this GA, then 10 in a GA, and 5 in a scythe). The reason is that lanceteks outrange warriors by a fair margin, so this way you can shoot both lanceteks at the same unit without making the attached warriors useless.

@darkhorse
I was planning on adding in wraiths above 1500 points, but trying to fit in 6 wraiths at 1500 points is a really big investment imo .... not sure what to drop unit wise for them.

I would rather have 2 ghost arks instead of 1 and 2 scythes since it's 5 AV 13 vehicles on the board and gives my opponent a tough choice on targeting the arks or abarges.

@markcron
my main matchups are orks / eldar / tau, so the ap 4 from the gauss is really helpful - if they weren't my regular matchups I would go tesla.

not sure what to do with a CC element .... I would add in 10 scarabs bases or wraiths but i'm not sure what to drop for them.

Overall does it seem balanced and would perform decently?

How about this instead

Necron Overlord (Warscythe, Mind Shackle Scarabs, Sempiternal Weave, Resurrection Orb) – 160
Royal Court (2 Harbingers of Destruction, Solar Pulse, 2 Harbingers of the Storm, Harbinger of Despair, Nightmare Shroud, Veil of Darkness) – 210

Necron Warriors (5 Necron Warriors, Night Scythe) – 165
Necron Warriors (5 Necron Warriors, Night Scythe) – 165
Necron Warriors (5 Necron Warriors, Ghost Ark) – 180
Necron Warriors (5 Necron Warriors, Ghost Ark) – 180
Necron Immortals (10 Necron Immortals with Gauss Blasters) – 170

Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon)– 90
Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon)– 90
Annihilation Barge (Tesla Cannon)– 90

= 1500

Lord and veiltek are with the immortals, stormteks with night scythe warriors, destroteks inside the ghost arks .... the veiltek gives the immortals decent mobility and with a lord / res orb they have decent durability (the nightmare shroud on the veiltek is there because I had spare points - my main matchups are orkz / tau / eldar so it could be useful - res orb is on the lord because of extra points also), scythe warriors are anti-armor with the stormteks and the scythes are good AA, the arks are there for AV13 saturation and to make target prioity between themselves and the annihilation barges difficult, tri barges are there for cheap firepower.

i would drop one warrior unit and ghost ark and harbinger of destruction for 5 wraiths 3 with whip coils apart from that not bad quite a solid looking list

I preferred the first list. This one seems to lack the same punch. Imo if you are going for GA then you should have a blob somewhere. I understand he AV 13 wall that you have here, but for me a lot of threat is missing because there aren't enough bodies in either the ga or the NS to do anything useful.
I would also drop either a NS plus unit to get a blob, or a ga and unit to get a NS with unit.

Probably the latter, if you have the models.

i'm planning on adding wraiths in to play at 2k, right now i just dont have the $ to pick up 5-6 wraiths at the moment I only have 1 night scythe available but I could get a second if needed.

@mark ... ya i didn't really think about the GAs just sitting around with no overlaying reason besides being more AV13 with the barges, I may just keep the first version for a while and if the blob works for me ill keep it, and if not drop it for wraiths / scythes.
