I got Necron and Ork armies and too little people in my city to play with.
So I want to host some introductory battles for interested people.
Need some help with army lists for balanced battles.
What I got:
Necrons
50~warriors
5 tesla 5 gauss immortals
Overlord
Cryptek
CCB/Annihilation barge
6 tomb blades
5 lychguards with shields and swords
15 triarch pratorians
triarch stalker
Ghost Ark
Doomsday Ark
10 Deathmarks

Orks
2 AoBR WarBosses
9 deathcoptas
7 warbikers
4 trukks
40 choppa boyz
20 unassembled boyz
10 nobz

Plenty of buildings (LoS blocking and ruin types)
Any ideas to make fun encounter with this?

Yeah don't make someone's first game be against necron...... the cheese is to real with those guys. One of my first games ever was against a necron player Almost killed my urge to learn

Not sure of the ballence as I don't know necrons well but if you have any other army it might be better to use those, even if it means a smaller battle. Not because of Necron cheese as that's easy to balence with less points, but because of the number of special rules they have. It's a lot for a new player to pick up.


Also I'd suggst a smaller fight for an intro anyway, maybe 500 points and play on a 4x4 field

I don`t plan to use any formations - so no cheese.
Good suggestion about game and table size.

Also keep the units simple. Don't go for the most effective if it means lots of extra add ons. Keep models simple with mostly base equipment or only a little war gear to give them something cool, but nit to much they get lost.
