I am attending DaBoyz GT in November and I am bringing Necrons. I played Necrons a lot in 6th edition and stopped when Ork Codex came out. Since picking them back up, I have 4-5 practice games in (I have been playing A LOT of Orks lately but the Ork armies I would like to take to a tournament will not align with DaBoyz's army building restrictions). DaBoyz link is http://daboyzgt.com/40k/.

The majority of the three armies are very similar: necron warriors in ghost arks, necron warriors in night scythes, wraiths, and annihilation barges.

It is the HQ I am struggling with. I have 2 games in with the bargelord and i am terrible with positioning him so far. My other two games have been with list C and the triarch stalker works well with the ghost arks, especially versus knights. However, the stalker feels like the easiest thing to kill in the army. List B is my 6th edition necron list. List B is the fuzzy blanket army. If I am undecided on the due date for army lists, i will run this list.

Which army list should I take? Any ideas on filling in the few extra points I have leftover? I am willing to tweak the list further as I have 98% of the army painted.

I like B. I would drop the res orb on the lord though and up the other unit of wraiths to 6. If you drop the 8 man units of warriors down to 5 mans then you can gain 78 points back. Which is really 80 since you are 2 short. Doesn't seem like much you could cut to make it 90 for another barge but maybe something else you can take for 80?

Or I guess you could cut 1 wraith (which I don't like to do!) and take another barge then add 1 or 2 warriors to some units to fill them up.


I am also coming to Da boyz btw! I am playing my crons in the doubles but am playing the fantasy gt for the main event.

Possibly the last chance to play crons semi-competitively until they get a nerfed and watered down codex. G'luck
