my mates playing a 1250 necron army with 3 anhilation barges 3 nightsythes nd 6 wraiths and 5 squads of necron warriors. whats the best lit to deal with the wraiths. im playing ig

Volume of dice works on wraiths just as good as any other unit. Also, S8+ instagibs them.

but they have in invunerable saves so instant death dont work on them right

Isnt this exactly the same question from http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/522547.page

Anyway you have access to the best flyers out there.

chose to go second and wale on them with a bunch of twinlinked lascannons.

secondly for wraiths since they have that nice 3++, volume of fire works well.

Invul doesnt stop ID, so double straight weapons will ID them if they fail saves.

Invulnerable saves by themselves don't prevent instant death. They're only T4.

In other words, he still gets the best save he can get, but failing that a two wound model is killed in one shot.

Indeed. Leman Russ's cannon and plasma works pretty well. I had some wraiths insta-kill thanks to those. But to take care of wraiths, grab your Guardsmen and fire away. He'll fail some saves.

but if i go second it means my vendetts might not be able to get onto the table straight away

If they fail the save they insti-die just like anything else would, as mentioned the best way to deal with Wraiths is volume of fire

If you go first your vendettas will be shot at by the night scythes, with the next turn involving you flying past them and unable to shoot. (depending on the table)

3 vendetta's with melta vets in them. The planes will blow the scythes out of the sky, and the melta guns will completely wreck an A. barge (3+ on the pen chart to explode since its AP1 and open-topped). Can also use the melta guns on the wraiths in a pinch to ID them, otherwise lasgun spam will do pretty well against wraiths. An Aegis line would also be pretty helpful, with maybe one LRBT (don't take chimeras, they will get eaten up by the barges fast).

First call your friend a butthole for running that.

If you wanna deal with it as IG, simply toss lasguns at the wraiths and lots of fire/vendettas at the fliers, with long range las and/or ordinance on the barges.
