So playing my second ever game of 40K this Wednesday. Boning up to try and get spanked a little less than last week. I've asked for a thousand point game to be able to cope with what I have on the table! 2 Variants on a list:


LIST 1:

Destroyer Lord (warscythe, semp weave)

10 Immortals

12 Warriors (Scythe)

6 Wraiths (4 with coils - that's how I've built them - DL with these)

2 Anni barges


That's 996 points


LIST 2:

Overlord (staff of light, semp weave, res orb)
Royal Court - Harbringer of the Storm (voltaic staff, lightning field)

10 immortals (overlord with these)

10 warriors (Scythe - Stormtek here)

6 wraiths (as above but without the DL obvs)

2 Barges

that's 1,000 points - I think I prefer this - the immortals maybe live up to their names a bit better? the voltaic staff with those warriors is going to pop whatever it lands beside the turn the scythe comes in - I think I can have fun with this. But everyone always says take the lord with the wriaths, and I get that that gives me one super hard unit - but does it make my opponent concentrate fire?

Thoughts appreciated.

If you want to suggest other ideas - I have a C'tan, five lychguards, Nem Z, Varg O, Doomsday Ark, some scarabs, and crypteks for destruction and despair also...

Thoughts?

Both lists look solid but I prefer the second. Couple of comments:

In the first list, locking up a fair chunk of your firepower in a scythe could be risky if it doesn't come in. Generally, you'll find more utility from keeping a min squad of warriors and using the points for something else.

Think about getting a VeilTek (Harbringer of Despair with Veil of Darkness). Then put that with the immortals and the Overlord for teleporting fun! (Tesla on the Immortals, of course).

hth

Drop the scythe, the warriors, the storm tek and the overlord take nemezor and a dispare tek with 10 more immortals.

Anrakyr would be better if you are taking all immortals.

List 1 is much stronger. The rerolls on the wraiths are gold.

however, I would split the warriors into two squads of 6, drop the scythe, and grab a 3rd annihilation barge, giving you 10 points to give your DL MSS

thats about as competitive a list as you can get for 1k necrons

overlord 145pts
warscythe
orb
sempiternal weave

lord 75pts
warscythe
orb

Troops
10 immortals 170pts

10 immortals 170pts

fast attack

6 wraiths 250pts
4 whip coils

heavy support

annihilation barge 90pts

annihilation barge 90pts

pretty simple list or chuck out lord and 5 immortals for d lord or just 5 immortals for another barge

I like the first list too, and honestly if you're worried about concentrated fire, I think you'll soon find that it takes a LOT of firepower to kill a wraith blob. My friend had to fire about... 1500 points worth of Tau in a 1750 point game to kill all 6 Wraiths and the D. Lord. The key is to let the D. Lord tank most small arms fire (within reason, don't go crazy like I did one game and then have him die because I rolled 3 1s in a row...). and abuse LOS blocking terrain as best you can. I'd recommend a few more changes, but based on your current models I think this one is the best.
