The nightscythes snap shot fliers though because they dont have skyfire right

Flyers have the option to use Skyfire.

This is a question that you really should have a rulebook for and have looked it up.

Trying to, army is expensive enough as it is, let alone buying the book atm

No, Annihilation Barges snap shot fliers. Night Scythes fire at full BS.
But either way, it hardly matters.
They're twin linked weapons with 4 shots. Every thing that's not a 6 gets rerolled, and once you DO get a 6, you get 2 extra hits. That basically evens out to BS3.
(TL;DR- what are your odds on getting a 6 if you roll a D6 eight times?)

Yeah thats amazing, one could argue its better then one shot at bs 4 with skyfire. Ive been taking a lot into consideration and bought a bunch of models, ill update my list after i play a match later

Go check through the Necrons in 7th post in the tactics section. Might help before your game.
Also, try checking out some of the battle reports to see what people did well/wrong.
I'd recommend jy2's ones, but if you're not familiar with competitive tactics it might be a little advanced.

Stepping up to the big leagues and I havent played one game yet lol. Thanks for the help, ill be sure to go through it.

The only thing i found out os tge immortals werent really as big of an impact as id hope theyd been. I decided to remove them and cryptek and add back the doomscythe and 5 warriors to the blob making them a full 20, it comes to 1860 so ill take out a whip coil or an upgrade somewhere

Hey guys, been about a week of trying out things and I've changed my list up a little bit, can I get some comments on my new one.

HQ = 355
Necron Overlord (SW, WS) :
+ Catacomb Command Barge :
Destroyer Lord (WS, MSS, SW) :

Troops = 570
5x Warriors :
+ Storm-Tek :
+NightScythe :
5x Warriors :
+ Storm-Tek :
+NightScythe :
5x Warriors :
+ Storm-Tek :
+NightScythe :

Elite = 225
5x DeathMarks :
+ Despair-tek :
+ NightScythe :

Fast = 315
5x Wraiths :
4x Wraiths :

Heavy = 270
Annihilation Barge :
Annihilation Barge :
Annihilation Barge :

Total = 1735

Still 115 points to spare which can go into upgrading to some immortals for more vehicle killing power, upgrade my overlord a bit, whipcoils, or maybe even a fast attack/elite choice

Deathmarks and Triarch Stalkers work really well for focus firing things, and they're pretty much the only Elites anyone really uses. And I find it better to put Warriors in Ghost Arks. Makes them more mobile and much harder to deal with.

I'm using them more as a way to fly in real fast, drop off the 5 man unit with a stormtek, and basically blow the hell out of a vehicle with 10 gauss shots rapid fire and 4 haywire shots. I dont plan on them surviving the opponents next turn
