I'm new to the WH40k scene as a whole and I've got some Necrons to play with:

HQ
2x Necron Overlord
1x Destroyer Lord

Troops
20x Warriors

Fast Attack
3x Wraiths
3x *Tomb Blades* [Future]

Heavy Support
1x Nightscythe/Doomscythe
1x Command/Annihilation Barge
1x *Command/Annihilation Barge* [Future]

Here are the three lists I've managed to come up with to consider trying out with their respective [Titles]:

[Invasion]
HQ (125)
1x Destroyer Lord

Troops (230)
5x Necron Warrior: 1x Night Scythe
5x Necron Warrior

Fast Attack (135)
3x Canoptek Wraiths: 3x Whip Coils

Warriors camp out objectives.
HQ + Wraiths rush forward.
Nightscythe Deepstrikes turn 2+ with hail of gauss/tesla and hold ground until HQ + Wraiths catch up.

[Ground]
HQ (145)
1x Destroyer Lord: Mindshackle Scarabs

Troops (130)
5x Necron Warrior
5x Necron Warrior

Fast Attack (135)
3x Canoptek Wraiths: 3x Whip Coils

Heavy Support (90)
1x Annihilation Barge: Tesla Cannon, TL Tesla Destructor

Warriors on objectives.
Everyone else moves forward.

[Mech]
HQ (180)
1x Necron Overlord: Warscythe, 1x Catacomb Command Barge

Troops (230)
5x Necron Warrior: 1x Night Scythe
5x Necron Warrior

Heavy Support (90)
1x Annihilation Barge: Tesla Cannon, TL Tesla Destructor

Nightscythe Deepstrikes to initiate.
C.Barge move to catch up and wreak havoc.
A.Barge supports C.Barge or tears up another unit.


I'm curious as to which list you all think would work best or if you think I need to edit anything on any of the three lists above. I'm just unsure what to use. I don't have enough battle experience and the only things I can use as justification for the lists above are what I understand as the most reasonable choices. However I do know experience plays a huge part of things and so I've come to this community to ask for it's help/opinions. Thanks for the read!

List #1 is fan-freaking-tastic. You have a mini Wraithstar to put ALOT of pressure on the opponent, a Flyer with mobile troops to score objectives, another squad to hold a home objective, and a tough warlord to boot!

I honestly don't really have critiques for it, it's solid mate

list 1 for me wins. there all good lists but like jathomas said. having a mini wraith squad for the d lord too AND a flyer.

the list 2 also good but id take a flyer over a barge anyday .

list 3 is fine but im not a fan of the command barge. i always feel like i am wasting 80 points.

list 1 100%
