So, basically, a friend and I are thinking of entering the next doubles tournament and we are practising against a necron army. I know that the necrons have a doom scythe, but nought else about the list.
My friend will be taking calgar and guards terms and assault marines, but don't know much else about his list. My 750 points have been spent as following:
HQ – I haven’t taken any as calgar covers this
Troops
Tactical squad - 265
Ten men, flamer, missile launcher, the sarg has melta bombs. It has a razorback with with an assault cannon, dozer blade and storm bolter
Tactical squad - 255
Ten men, plasmagun, missile launcher, the sarg has melta bombs and plasma pistol. It has a droppod with deathwind missile launcher
Elites
Dreadnought - 105
With meltagun, Dreadnought close combat weapon and stormbolter
Heavy
Vindicator - 125
With a stormbolter
750 points
My friend will take the middle as his force is close comat orientated with terms and assault troopers. My marines are split into combat squads. The first will have the sarg and flamer in a razor back taking the left flank whilst the missile launcher will deploy near the doom scythe so as to use flakk missiles to eradicate it early. From the other squad, the missile will go behind enemy lines in the droppod to take out the rear of vehicles or the doom scythe whilst the sarge and plasma gun take the right flank supported by the dreadnought. I thought the vindicator would be a good way to deal with necron infantry and should deal enough damage to support my combat orientated friend, if I can take out the doom scythe early so as to keep the vindicator in the game. I have never fought necrons before, having spent most of my time honing my tactics against orcs, guardsmen and tyranids so please point out anything that I have done wrong.

Please do help, the game is tommorow

The doom scythe doesn't start on the board, it comes on using reserves. So you can't deploy your missles near it.
