Hello everyone!

This weekend i should finally have enough painted of my Necron army to get in a few 1000 point games. For the most part, I do not have a lot of options due to only having so much built and painted, but i feel like i have a pretty solid 1000 pt list. My only major question is how to set up my troop choices.

I know at smaller games, Necrons have a lot more staying power, so I am looking for what will be the most durable, either the 2 squads of 5 immortals and then the big block of 20 warriors, or have a single squad of 10 immortals, and 2 squads of 12 warriors.

The single squad of 10 immortals would be your best bet, a 20 man warrior blob can be rather easy to remove depending on your opponent.

That'll give you a good core squad with a couple other squads to support/flank/grab objectives

Having the 10 man will also make them a great choice for MWBD

Always aim to max units, to be able to use RP. Removing a maxed unit is harder than removing a unit with minimum models.
