I don't do tournaments but basically play with a group of friends. We are competitive and I am always looking to get better. In 9th I plan on creating a couple of lists to choose from for different situations.
This list I am trying to make is going to be my go-to for testing out their armies and getting a base idea for what the Necrons can really do. Looking for thoughts critiques etc.
Breakdown in my thoughts process
1. Doomdsay ark & Doom Scythe are for Anti-Tank/Any heavy infantry.
2. 3 Huge blobs of warriors (2 with Flayers for back objectives, 1 with reapers for forward) This is one place I would love advice if anyone has experience in 9th. Should I run 3 blobs of 20? or 4 blobs of 15?
3. The stalked is almost always a mainstay for me either for priority heavy targets or for larger squads I need taken out by massive fire.
4. Reanimator would be obviously for protocols with warriors, still not sold on this guy.
5. Tomb blades are for mobility and taking out units in cover. Overall still an amazing unit
IMO. Scarabs are for screens, protecting flanks, and objectives in terrible positions.
6. Ghost ark for reanimation, crowd control, and the occasional screen as necessary later game.
7. My
Hq's im not sold on but interested. The Plasmancers ability to deal with mortal wounds in such an indirect way could be both amazing and fun if kept up close, with the cryptothalls and timesplitter cloak it has some staying power.
8. The royal warden would accompany the blob of warriors moving up who would eventually get assaulted at some point.
I appreciate any thoughts and critiques!
