I want a 2000 army and I current;y have-
32 necron warriors( need I more?)
10 immortals
1 ark
overlord, nemesor
-------------------
So what else should I add to make a bad ass army?
What are mind shackles? How do I use them?
And I'm surely getting 6 wraiths though.

I will soon have a good necron army....Well, at least I'm hoping.

Get 3 annihilation barges, 2 destroyer lords, 18 wraiths and enjoy winning, unless you face new tau with R.I.Ptides, then you are screwed. Right?..


What do you want your army to do? Be shooty or CC oriented?

Are ^you^ being serious?

He asks what next and you say is "spend £280 to make the WAAC crap list the enitire internet hates"

no wonder everyone hates Necrons...

On topic, I would say the next thing I would get is a couple (as in 2, not 6 as most people will suggest) Flyers, and a couple Lords.

a 10 man Warrior Squad with a Lord (Semp) at the front Scythe-dropped into Rapid Fire range of a Target causes all kinds of trouble for your opponant. add in a couple of Storm Teks (from a separate court) to guarantee a dead tank, and 4 S5 shots never went amiss against infantry

In a 2k list, I would say you will need, in no particular order, the following models.


2 - 4 Scythes ( I suggest you use magnets so you can change them if you ever plan to try out the doom) You don't have to have more than 2, I only have one build that has 4 flyers and that is a wraithwing.
3 Annihilation Barges - You can start with 2 and add other HS but lots of folks run the trips AB
4 to 6 Crypteks - This varies based on how you play but I don't have any lists that don't have at least 3 of them in it. Most are 4 to 6.
Warriors - You are pretty close to what you need you don't have to add more. I think my top warrior build has 34 in it.
1-2 Destoryer Lords - I only run two if I run wraithwing, which I don't do often.
6+ Wraiths - Once again, I normally run six but rarely more than that.


This round you out a lot and gives you some options. You can also mix in a unit of DeathMarks for a D&D air combo...

The scythes swap out with needing magnets

18 wraiths?? Holy balls. I think I'll get 9 at most I don't really want flyers...

ok...

a ground-based shooting army covering those Wraiths as they advance is often a good strategy.

In which case you will need a solid firebase. I would suggest a Triarch Stalker or two and then a Doomsday Ark (monolith if you like them better), Destrpyers wouldn't go amiss either.

i suggest: (sorry this is long but i hope it helps)

two Annihilation barges(good for anti mob/air. maybe three barges and have one able to be the command they can be a game changer too with a o.l warscythe.)

6 Wraiths(one full squad they can be fun and 3 man squads suck with wraiths)

2 triarch stalkers(magnetize and use heat/Particle the twin linking is so nice and being able to drop large pie plates/ 2 melta shots is always nice)

having 2-4 Ghost arcs is always nice for the option of mobility.

this can give a wide variety of play and magnetizing the arcs can also help as to if you want to run 2 barges and a dooms day or not.
i currently have 34 warriors, 2 ghost arcs, 1 dooms day, 2 Annihlation barges(one can be command), 10 immortals, 2 night/doom scythes, 6 wraiths, 3 tomb blades, 10 lychguard, 3 lords, 2 crypteks, 5 deathmarks, 2 stalkers, monolith, vargard, overlord(porxies as nemesor when i field Vargard), Imotekh, 2 tomb spyders, and 6 scarabs.

i have alot of fun with them all and changing up my lists but find that lately i rarely field the scarabs and spyders since i have few and the scarabs get blasted fast. i also wish i had one more A.B and could field 4 ghost arcs.
