the overlord joins the warriors to soak up wounds, the storm-teks join the immortals in scythes, the dlord joins the wraiths for a counter to CC units and to deal with elite units. The barges are for AA and anti-MCs. CAN NOT TAKE NAMED CHARACTERS!!!!

This is a solid TAC 1500pt list, especially if you can't use special characters.

Presumably the Destroyer Lord is Warlord if the Overlord is there to eat wounds then? Personally, I would drop some Warriors for MSS on the D Lord as that really messes with MCs. 15 Warriors is a big blob you don't want to lose in assault, but you may be fine with the Overlord. Seems pretty good to me otherwise. Does your area run FW?

Pretty solid list. I think you might struggle a bit against the newer monster kits (wraithknight, riptide). I find a small death and despair unit very helpful against those, but I don't know where you would get the points from besides dropping an immortal squad. If you aren't worried about those (maybe people in your group don't run them), then you're set as is.

Ok, dropped a warrior for MSS, and this campaign is in a gw store so yes forge can be used but im not looking to use it.

Wraithknightd not really, riptides are seen but there are only a select few who play tau so i mean not to worried.

Well, I'd drop the Overlord and the Teks, and add another AB and give the large Warrior squad a Night Scythe. Whip coils are not a must-have since weapons that hurt Wraiths most are initiative 1 anyway.

Seems to me that the list is HQS heavy for the points value perhaps?

I've found that Storm teks don't sit great with immortals. I use immortals with tesla to deal with infantry and stormteks with small warrior blobs dropped out of night scythes to deal with vehicles. They are GREAT at that. But there 12" range doesn't sit well with Tesla immortals. Maybe you're running gauss? At 1500 points I run four scythes and two barges. Twin linked tesla destructors are awesome against most things. So 6 of then is a real boon.

There are lots of different ways of making a necron army competitive though. I was at a tournament at the weekend - 1500 points. Guy who won ran an 18 wraith list. Very scary. Still had two fliers and two barges as well. And there was another guy running an 8 spider scarab farm list.

This list does go along with my dynasty fluff aswell, but i like the overlord.

I prefer gauss to tesla on infantry models, and 10 immortals will on average glance a vehicle twice from one round of shooting in rapid fire range. I take the teks for insurance of dealing with whats left og the vahicles so the scythes can target other units. 2 barges is still good,
