I am new to the Warhammer scene and have ordered the Necron Battleforce as well as the start collecting sets. I was wondering what the best army for me to build using the two boxes. I heard that I could use the deathmark pieces on the warrior body and I think that might be a good idea just to increase the variation of my dull and soulless troops. Anyway if anyone has tips let me know.

Well, ideally you would want to build Necrons with them.

It's a good start on the Decurion detachment I believe which is what really gives Necrons their bite in 7th. Check out https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Necrons(7E)#Decurion_Detachment for a good overview on Decurion and what you need to build your force. As a heads up, the rest of the website can be NSFW so be careful!

Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.
1500 pts

Spoiler:
The Get Started/Retribution Phalanx contains the following:
Necron Overlord
Triarch Stalker
Scarab Swarm
Necron Warriors x12

The Battleforce contains the following:
20 Necron Warriors
5 Canoptek Scarab Swarms
5 Immortals / Deathmarks
Ghost Ark / Doomsday Ark


I'd roll with:

HQ 1: Necron Overlord
TROOPS 1: 10 Necron Warriors w/ Ghost Ark
TROOPS 2: 10 Necron Warriors
TROOPS 3: 12 Necron Warriors
FA1: 5 Canoptek Scarab Swarms

+ Whatever you have left up to the points value your playing

If you get another HQ model I would run the Retirbution Phalanx + a CAD of whatever you have left

Spoiler:
The Retribution Phalanx Special Rules: From the Sands, We Rise: If the unit of Necron Warriors or Canopek Scarabs from a Retribution Phlanx is wiped out, it can return to the battlefield at the start of your next turn. The unit must set up within 3″ of the Necron Overlord from this Formation.
