ANYONE ANYONE AT ALL!

ookay.. few things

immotehk is MUCH more than 135, and even so, a barge is a waste on him
That being said, he really only becomes a scary HQ in higher-point games. Go with either a generic overlord or someone like zahndrekh for low point games
Immortals should be maxed squad size, or you can watch em die fast at 17 pts a model.
5 scarab bases don't get you much, a distraction at best. either max those out too, or drop em

As for adding- annihilation barges are your friends

The stormlord is 225 points. I should know.

Yeh sorry put immotek in wrong but immotek looks awesome and he always does well when i play agaist or see him play

How does this look
Zahndrekh 185
Vargard Obyron 160
Lord (Warscythe and Resurrection Orb and Mindshackle Scarabs) 90

Immortals X5 (Tesla Carbines) 85
Necron Warriors X9 (Ghost Arks) 232
Necron Warriors X11 143

Annihalation Barge 90

Total 985

At this point cost- you just need bodies on the table. I know what you're going for here- you got a battleforce, and are trying to use that. I love zahndrekh and Obyron, but it is really not wise to take both of them until the 1500+ bracket. Seriously though- decide weather you like immortals or warriors more- and invest in getting more. When possible, it is VERY important for necrons to get max squad size, as not only does that make your res orbs more efficient, it makes it harder to wipe out your squad, thus denying your reanimates. with what you got- drop obyron, get 5 more immortals, then spend the rest on filling up that warrior blob with more warriors.

So could you draft a list off the battlefroce for me up?

At best using a Battleforce and an Annihilation Barge, you're going to squeeze out about 810pts tops with ideal comp. (i.e. no Doomsday Ark as HS is better used for Barges or Scythes) If you're wanting to use Battleforces, you can get a decent start to a foot-horde with two boxes, and still have models to spare for higher points.

Necron Overlord - 180 pts
- Mindshackle Scarabs
- Resurrection Orb
- Sempiternal Weave
- Warscythe
- Phaeron

Necron Immortals x 10 - 170 pts
- Gauss Blasters

- Necron Warriors x 16 - 323 pts
- Ghost Ark

- Necron Warriors x 16 - 323 pts
- Ghost Ark

Total: 996 pts

Idea here is to walk to Warriors with the arks to take advantage of the repair procedures, also giving you the option of using them as high AV gunships as the warrior squads diminish in numbers. I like Gauss on my first Immortal squad, as having a high amount of weapons fire capable of glancing is your only form of reliable ranged anti-AV14. Phaeron on the Overlord allows you to rapid fire and charge the immortals to deny charge bonuses vs things like Grey Hunters. Don't underestimate their staying power, especially with a Res Lord in there.

so this is a box of warriors ghost ark 2 immortal boxs and ovverlord right?

Only thing I'd say about this is that phaeron isn't really needed. Nothing necrons have benefits too much from relentless. If you are insistent on charging with immortals, go tesla.

This force is-
1 battleforce
1 ghost ark
1 warrior box
1 immortal box
1 barge

You get a lord in the barge kit, so long as you don't make a chariot. Even then, you don't have to glue the lord into the chariot anyway.

Edit-

Yknow, for the cost of warriors + immortals + ark, you could just make this math into 2 battleforces and a barge, and you get more units for the same amount of money.

I really like Anrakyr (or counts as) for low point games. He really buffs up a unit of immortals with counter attack, and can use your opponents linchpin units against him!

Beyond that, warriors in Ghost arks are really resiliant because most people have a hard time dealing with AV 13 at 1k. Same goes for Annibarges. You just need to keep them away from your enemy, even if that means snapshotting rather than normal shooting.

But why rely on 10 assault shots when you can do 20 Ap 4 Rapid Fire shots, and still deny the charge? Honestly Phaeron is there primarily as points filler. You could swap to Tesla and add an extra warrior to one squad if you wish.

Yeah, the best use I've found for phaeron is adding a gen. overlord to gauss blaster squad WITH obyron. Turn one- teleport- fry a vehicle. Turns everything after- rapid fire, then charge infantry. Not only can it deny charges, but it will probably win too
