My dad and I will hopefully be playing an 1850 point battle Necrons v. 'nids early next week, but I need help coming up with a casual list (no ridiculous tournament cheese, but nothing that's just gonna be steamrolled) for him to use since he hasn't really played in a LONG time and so doesn't really know what he should put in there. Here's what I know he'd like so far:

HQ
-2x Necron Overlord
-2x Royal Court, 5x Necron Lords each

Troops
-10x Immortals
-5x Immortals
-5x Immortals
-10x Warriors

Fast attack
6x Canoptek Wraiths

Heavy Support
Monolith

I don't know what upgrades I should put on the Overlords/Necron Lords (if any), and I don't know what else I should add to make for a list that can hold its own but isn't stuffed to the brim with cheddar. I'm open to removing some units I've put on here since I have no idea where to even start with Necrons. Thanks in advance :-)

What models do you have? I assume you can't play anything you don't have.

Ghost Arks and Annihilation Barges are amazing ... av 13 with quantum shielding which is hard for nids to crack, my main list is 3 GAs / 3 ABs / Overlord in CCB, av spam is strong but taken in small numbers isnt really broken and gives you solid options.

I would suggest not taking necron lords unless its with a resurrection orb (and attached to warriors / immortals). crypteks are cheaper and add more to your army shooting wise (I normally use stormteks for haywire / 1 despairtek with orb for deep striking at will)

Going against nids unless he gets lucky with certain MCs or a carnifex charges it he wont have anything to hurt your monolith with it being av 14

Posting what models you have to use would be helpful to build a balanced casual list that wont steam roll your opponent but still hold up .

My father's the one who will be playing Necrons, and I actually don't really have any Necron models except mostly Warriors and 4 Immortals so I've been hoping someone could give some suggestions for common household objects that are of similar size to monoliths/any vehicles. I do have Lizardmen that I could use if they're the same size - I've got Saurus, Skink Skirmishers, the new Kroq-Gar, cold one riders, Temple Guard and 3 Kroxigors (maybe for Canoptek wraiths?).

As for me, I'm using a homebrew 'dex I made that will hopefully make for a more balanced 'nid force. In this game hopefully I'd get an idea of what units need adjusting to what areas and that sort of thing.
Here's my 'nid list:

HQ:
1x Dakka Flyrant w/Hive Commander
Tyranid Prime with Deathspitter

Troops:
30x terms, 10x devs
3x warriors, 1x BS 1x Deathspitter
Tervgon with "Altered Physiology" (allows it to spawn hormagaunts or termagants (not both in the same turn of course))

Elites:
3x Pyrovores w/Mycetic Assault (similar to the old spores, but no actual spore model, just a 5+ cover save on the turn they arrive)
Haruspex w/lash whips
2x Hive Guard

Fast Attack:
5x Raveners w/rending claws
Hive Crone

Heavy Support:
Exocrine
3x Biovores
