Hey guys, I'm really keen to start a Necron army (love the minis and lore) that I can compete against my friends with, but I also want to keep said friends, so... I've gone for a Decurion (Reclamation Legion + Judicator Battalion). I knew taking the Canoptek Harvest is one of the strongest metas at the moment, so I wanted to avoid it...also, I don't really like the Spyder or Scarab models. Anyway, here's my list, tell me if it's too strong or too weak - bearing in mind that my friend plays Skyhammer SM a lot). Thanks in advance!

CORE - 1050pts


AUXILIARY - 800pts

I'd go with Gauss or Tesla on the Tomb Blades, but that's personal choice. Also Nebulascopes, not Shadowlooms.

The Monolith is a signature unit for a non-competitive list.
Particle beamers for TBs are great. They are deadly vs. hordes.

Stop spreading the Monolith hate, brother. It's absolutely perfect for strong yet not waac lists. The place where you could actually improve are the HQ(Your overlord is 170 points of worthless nothingness) and your Tomb Blades loadout!
I would take Zahndrekh instead of your Overlord, he seems to fit your in so many ways. (inlcuding reserve manipulation for flyers!) And him riding the Immortals squad could make for quite dirty goodness. Ressurection orbs are quite useless in troops, since your troops are not likely to absorb too many RP rolls. If not Zahndrekh, then at least go for a CCB OLord. (Anything, to make something usefull instead of this generic guy who doesn't do stuff)

For your Tomb Blades loadout, I would make them 3 squads of 3, instead of 2 squads of 5. Then, I'd equip some with Nebuloscopes and Gauss Blasters and others with Shadowlooms and Particle Beamers according to my likes. Different loadoads for different jobs. Then you should have some extra points left over. Think of either getting some extra warriors, or do some more finances elsewhere and get yourself a Ghost Ark. It fits your list perfectly, it's going to boost your movement, your AV saturation and your firepower.(not to mention ressurecting warrior goodness!)

Other than that, it really seems like a solid list. Something that makes for a fun game. Nothing too weak or too cheesy, I'd love to play that any day of the week. Well done!
