Greetings all. I am messing around with my necron codex trying to find a suitable army build to play. This will be my first stab at a Necron army list, and playing 40k in general. I am looking for some help on just about anything, and am extremely open to suggestions. As of right now, I want to avoid flyers. I am not a fan of the models or the play style that they offer. And to be perfectly honest, our games tend to play off of a campaign from battle fleet gothic, so air superiority already gets factored in. As it is, I was thinking of going with large units of troops, with a couple of light vehicles. Basically, I have taken the battleforce box x2 and am looking to go from there. Any critiques are greatly welcomed. This is not a power gaming group, and most of the time we don't follow force orgnization requirements. Its all about having fun. But I wouldn't mind throwing a win or two in. Thanks in advance.

Necron Overlord with Mindshackle scarabs, warscythe, and resurection orb.
20 Necron Warriors.
20 Necron Warriors.
10 Necron Immortals.
1 Triarch Stalker with twin-linked Heavy Gauss Cannon.
10 scarab swarms.
1 Doomsday Arc.
1 Doomsday Arc.

Running that many Warriors I might try and get a ghost ark as it can be a problem for some lists. Plus it can res warriors or even a Royal Court lord w/ res orb (if you so chose to add it) leading your other warriors.

I would see how the scarabs preform and if they under preform try adding a ghost arc and RC lord for the other 20 war.

annihilation barrage x3 turn the doomsday arks to ghost arks and you win. With warriors you always glance on a 6 so you don't need the heavy shots from the dooms day and TL tesla is just to good to pass up. I normally play with 3 barrages and 2 night scythes for a lot of TL Telsa at high str can't go wrong with it IMO

Your army will do fine. Only thing is getting an Orb in each unit of Warriors will extend their life, or a Ghost Ark to support both units.

Drop the MSS if you're putting the Overlord with the Warriors, with a unit that size, it's not going to do much on the turn you get charged. Or you could upgrade to Phaeron to make use of it.

Don't know if your running Tesla or Gauss Immortals, but if the Overlord goes there, then Tesla is recommended, but then you're leaving your Warriors to fend for themselves.
