That's 1848

Is this good enough for a tournament? How do I handle a wraithknight etc?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I thought about cutting the 2 night scythe and using the points to up take a 3rd doom scythe and up the bikes units to 6 bikes each. Thoughts?

I like nemesor to bring 4 flyers on turn 2 almost every game lol

It's not a typical necron tournament list that's for sure. Flyers are a bit out of fashion and you'll want to check if death from the sky's is a thing in your tournament before you drop the night sythes.

Drop the particle Beamer on the spyder.

Necrons have a lot of really good options for auxiliary however doombringer flight isn't generally considered the strongest choice. My main problem with the doombringer flight isn't the formation or even the rules for the formation it's the new rules for the death ray. This weapon used to be the hands down most powerful weapon necrons had. It could shoot into combat and hit anything under the line but you could stop the line whenever you wanted, no scatter. It was the closest thing to barrage and they took it away. What did they replace it with? A lance weapon for an army with almost all gauss weapons and entropic strike to deal with vehicles.

Not that I'm complaining, the new codex made destroyers, flayed ones, and tomb blades not only playable but fun units that give armies a varried theme on the table. My point is the weapon just feels out of place.

Anyway if you want to stick with it then there is the potential for you to upset the meta by bringing lots of flyers. People might not see it coming. I personally prefer making my neurons cc oriented, focussing on tarpits and tough as nails infantry to do my fighting.

As for what do you have to take a Wraithknight? Your wraiths, that is your solution. Tie it up and hope that you can keep the alive with reanimation long enough to destroy the rest of the army.

I like the advice!

I know fire raptors will be there as well as IH command squads. I figured the flyers would help verse enemy flyers and the s10 verse the fnp.

I have destroyers too.

Can you write me a list you think is better?

I like the bikes a lot. Do you? I have 18

4 flyers in a Cron List isn't something that anyone is going to expect, but I don't think that will be a big enough offset to the loss of Dakka. Most death stars have some method of protection beyond good saves, invis, invuls, RP, T6, absurd look out sirs, etc. So a S10 weapon at AP 1 seems fearsome on paper but in practice, the people you want to use it against will have protection, and it's way overkill on most other things. If it were str D, doom scythes would be a staple of the necron army (which could ignite a flyers arms race), but str 10, AP1, lance, and blast is a cool if slightly overpriced weapon on a so so platform.

As for other lists my usual is: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/690185.page
It's a standard D-Cult/harvest decurion with some lych guard to accompany the O-Lord and D-Lord.

Mindshackle scarabs are garbage now.

Tomb blades are good. I like mine with particle beamers, but that's me. I do understand why people still like gauss.

As for a 1850 list...I don't know what models you have. Let me get back to you by the end of today.

It will either be 3 harvests, flayed ones, and a overlord+lychguard, or destroyer cult, harvest, and orikan star most likely.

I have no lych guard. I have a full destroyer cult however.

I love the bikes. I love fliers too, but I don't think they work brilliant in the meta. Here is the list I would play if I was playing Necrons:

Zandrekh
10 Warrriors
10 Warriors
5 Immortals
3 Tomb Blades (vains, nebuloscopes)
3 Tomb Blades (vains, nebuloscopes)
