Hi all,

I have two friends that are collecting Necrons and Admech (with a Knight Crusader) both are just over 1000 points, though the necrons have big trouble dealing with the knight. The necron player has 2x10 warriors, an overlord, 5x immortals, 3x tomb blades and DSHS lychguard.

We aren't sure what to get next for the necrons in the new edition (if wraiths are any good), and would like to know what the best units in the necron book are for taking on something large like a knight and some dunecrawlers.

Thanks in advance!

For big one necrons hale two choice in GW: DDA or heavy destroyers. DDA works well with stalker, heavy works well with destroyer lord and some kind of cryptek.
You have more choice in FW.

The best knight killers necrons have access to is a guass pylon from fw. It is very good at killing knights will statistically either instant kill or bring to half health a knight depending on if 1 or 2 shots get past the invul.

The teseract arc is also fully capable of doing some serious damage to knights heavu destroyers and the tomb stalker? (One of the 2 centipedes) can also bring some decent hurt.
