Below is a list I'm thinking about using in a tournement in the early part of fall.  I haven't purchased any models yet so please feel to make any adustments as needed.

 

HQ
Lord with Veil and Orb


Troops
10 Warriors
10 Warriors

Elite
10 Immortals 280

Fast
5 Destroyers 250
5 Destroyers 250 (these guys are why I want to play Necrons, they're speeders that get back up when shot.)
9 Scarabs with Disruption Fields 144

Heavy
Monolith 235 (I really like the idea of teleporting units)
Heavy Destroyer 65
Heavy Destroyer 65

Total 1849
Units 9 (8 scoring)
Models 53

I think the Heavy Destroyers are probably the weak link in the army but they're dirt cheap, good for a late game land grab, and a little AP 2 weaponry isn't a bad thing.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Elegant army. Its very ballanced and still strong.

Have you considered a Deciever? Hes been included in a major tournament-winning army over here, so hes propably way stronger then most people think. Sadly Necrons wbb rules dont encourage variety. Propably you`d indeed be better of without Immortals, Scarabs and Heavy Destroyers. Instead you might take a second Monolith and the Deciever and 3 even numbered units of destroyers. When your main force is made up of Destroyers that get wbb twice per game (monos) the low model count isnt as bad as it sound really. This is purely for winning at all costs though. From a hobbyists position I like your army as is much better.

Consider Tomb Spiders! Necrons are really weak on hth and a couple of spiders make for decent counterpunch. , so swapping the heavy destroyers for tombspiders would be a good start.

I have to diasagree. As nice as Spiders look on paper, you give up offensive power with them. CC is of course where Necrons have problems, but investing into CC is not playing to the Necrons strengths. Necrons have great resiance and multiple ways of jumping out of combat. Combine this and opponents will reach CC eventually only to have the Necrons stand up teleport through a Monolith, stand up again and be out of reach while shooting away with all guns.

Thanks for the feedback. I plan on breaking out a C'tan every once in a while but I'll probably reserve them for 2000+ point games. I think a second Monolith could be strong but like Raider pointed out it isn't going to win me any points in the composition department. Plus, Tau is the army du-jour where I play so it is a pretty common sight to see 4-6 rail guns across the table.

I'd urge you to field more Warriors. They're a really great value, even at 18 points, and they're the surest way to protect against Phase Out.

Your Scarab swarm with D-Fields is a great choice, it surprises the heck out of tanks, but it might be a little oversized. Shave points there for more Warriors.

Heavy Destroyers are nice, their speed lets them set up good shots, but you need more Warriors. Drop one or both in favor of more Warriors.
