First of all, the game I'm planning with my friend will be friendly, so we have seen the general pieces of the other's list. He's using Imotekh, which means lots of night fighting, but I was already planning on bringing cover-ignoring stuff. He surprisingly will be deep striking very little; just a scythe and monolith. I also have no fliers. Anyways, here we go with my plan (again):

Total: Wait, 1555? Lolnope, 1455. I carried an extra 1, it seems. I'm 45 points UNDER budget. Wow, I'm just amazing. Dakka kills my arithmetic (I'm in calculus, I swear! Derivatives and integrals!). Anyways, I'll fix up my list.

Here's the current plan: Use the non-Straken CCS and the platoon as a basic gunline. The colossus tanks will stay on the back edge, hitting Necron backfield, while the Hellhounds hang out alongside the gunline to address scarabs and co. that give my artillery any dirty looks and cover shot range and midfield. Straken, and vets will all move up and pop vehicles and assault Warrior squads if they get the chance. Psykers put yet another high strength pie-plate in play, they could reinforce the gunline or hide behind the assaults squads and Weaken Resolve.

Fixed up list, forgive me for my ridiculousness:


Grand Total: 1500 precisely. I did my math on paper this time, trust me. Same strategy stands: Small little gunline flanked by Hellhounds in front of Colossus tanks, the rest go up and harass some Necrons.

Addendum: Having shared my list with my friend, he's revealed that a cryptek with reroll 1D6 per turn for anyone in unit upgrade is chilling with Imotehk, which will almost certainly prolong night-fighting for most of the game.
