Hi people. So I'm thinking about trying this list. What's your opinion on it ?

10x Necron Warrior
Ghost Ark


++Annihilation Nexus++

-Doomsday Ark

-Annihilation Barge

-Annihilation Barge

For a 1000 point game you have very little bodies. Perhaps get another Phalanx? Or consider a cad with some warriors?

Perhaps try a barebones reclamation legion and see if you can fit in a judicator battalion as well as your annihilation nexus to expand. I agree with the last poster you need more bodies. 10 more warriors in a ghost ark should do. The nightmare shroud isn't also that great. Unless he's with lychguard, I wouldn't put my lord into combat by himself. Orbs are also nowhere near as great as they used to be, take a Phylactery.

What army are you playing against. For the Barges i found that the Tesla is better, and for the Stalker i think the heat ray is better because it has 2 patterns, I have had better luck with the heat ray i guess is all, if you are bringing the retribution phalanx unless you bring more scarabs they are not gonna get anything done. Also depending on what army you are fighting you are wasting points on the warscythe, and try to get a phylactery as well, It Will Not Die might not be relevant, but its better to have it and not need it, especially with out any backup for your overlord. i prefer the voidblade, S User, ap4, Entropic Strike, and Rending, then pick up the 10 point gauntlet for a flamer. I have had great success with the ghost ark, but it is the opposite strategy of the retribution phalanx if you take hits you want them all to drop so they can all come back next turn, you should get rid of it and then get more warriors, preferably 20. The Annhilation Nexus will do work. Try to set up the doomsday ark where i can fire on the whole field with out moving, and then keep the stalker with warriors, and keep the barges together. And focus fire, take out your opponents heavy hitters as soon as possible, and use the warriors to clean up the big point guys or decimate their infantry. I play aggressively, and with reanimaltion protocols it works for shooting, but keep the warriors out of combat they will lose, and then the enemy will sweeping advance you. Good luck.
