My current gaming area has been forcing players to bring either a battalion or brigade to tournies. Trying to build a competitive necron army using a battalion detachment.

- overlord with warscythe
- destroyer lord with warscythe

- 3 units of 10 immortals

- 2 units of 6 destroyers (each has a heavy destroyer)
- 1 unit of 6 scarabs

- 2 Triach stalkers with heat rays

Comes in at 1993pts

Idea is for the destroyer lord to hang out with the 2 you it's of destroyers.

The overlord sits with the 3 units of immortals with the stalkers behind them allowing him to use his re-roll either on a immortal unit or stalker.

Do you guys think I'd be better off with 1 immortal unit and 2 units of 20 warriors? I'd have to drop a stalker to make that work.

Time of madness

Why not a cryptek, +1 to RP, and 5+ invuln sv ? What about a ghost ark ? This combo will give you two RP rolls at 4+ for each slain model, every turn. Give the immortals tesla, and buff them with overlord BS+1. Every 5 and 6 you roll will be 3 hits.

That is such a terrible fix to the issues of the game, and basically rules out certain armies to even compete in tournaments.

Why ? What is wrong with that combo ?

^He means requiring people to always bring a battalion or a brigade to events. Some armies don't have the options to run brigades or even a battalion well, while others excel.

Yeah, lots of armies struggle to be competitive with battalions, while others can fill brigades for 600 points.

To address the list, do you know the main armies you are facing? Also what models do you have available to use?

Never add in 20 man warrior squads, you are nerfing yourself.

You have destroyers and stalkers, which do not synergise well at all, due to the destroyers already having the buff that the stalkers give out.

Im not sure what you mean by "The overlord sits with the 3 units of immortals with the stalkers behind them allowing him to use his re-roll either on a immortal unit or stalker. " I'm assuming you mean using the overlords reroll, which he doesn't have. He has MWBD, which gives +1 to hit, advance and charge. The stalker gives out the reroll 1's to hit.

Destroyers are okay.... but its not hard for alot of armies to point their high STR, multi damage high ap weapons at them and you will watch them wither to focused fire. Also, you only have 4 heavy weapons, two of which are in destroyer squads, and 2 which are on close range stalker weapons.

Write us a list of what you have to work with and I can give you some ideas as to list concepts you can run with.
