I recently startend my 40k hobby after finding and painting mysterieus old lotrarmy.
Fel completely in love without necron so i bought a bunch, and after some painting and moddeling i found a club to start gaming.
So this is where i am new and i would love some advise to what i should bring and what tactics to use to get a good first impression
The list i came up with is what i currently own in a decent painted state.
Hq
Overlord 175
Warsythe
Scarabs
Weave
Res orb
Phylactery

Royal court 60
Despair cryptec
Abyssal staff
Veil

Troops
20 warriors 260
5 immortals tesla 85

Fast attack
8 scarabs 120

Elite
5 deathmark 95

Heavy
1 anni barge 90

Transport
1 ghost ark 115

The total is 1k points exactly
As far as the tactics go i would probably use 2 squads of 10 warriors or 5 in the ark and 15 with the lord on foot just walking across the table and shooting. 2 squads of 4 scarabs to assult verhicles. Ad the cryptec to the deathmarks and ds to delete units. And for the immortals or anni barge i dont realy have a plan , just like the models and have em painted up.

I am currently working on the following so you guys know what i have to change around my list.
1 overlord
1 crypte
2 lords
20 warriors
2 scarabs
2 destroyers
1 ghost ark ( will Take a while since i havve to build /magnatize and paint it )

Please let me know what yoj guys think and what i should do ( and buy next )

It is a pretty decent list for 1k. I have never found much use for Phylactery. It is one time use and is a D3 to see how many wounds you get. Just as much of a chance to get 1 than anything else.

I like the big blog in front of the ark with the Olord. Between RP and the arks repair barge.. it because a fairly tough unit to kill.

I also would not break the scarabs up. The AB can destory most light armor and you should not be seeing tons of av13/14 at 1k. A single unit of 8 will give you a much better chance to have more bases reach their target.

As for the immortals, they should just be a back field objective holder. I might even walk them on from reserve if you are afraid you could lose them early on. With telsa they want to be at pretty much max range from most things.
