Well things change, and I stumble into a pretty fantastic deal for some Necrons. The problem is I am not really sure how to approach 1000 points. I wrote up a couple lists and would like some input. The missions being played are:

Round 1 - Crusade (5 Objectives Hammer and Anvil)
***LUNCH*** - My favorite mission!!
Round 2 - Purge the Aliens (Dawn of War)
Round 3 - The Scouring (Vanguard Strike)
Round 4 - The Emperor's Will (Dawn of War)

Anywho, as mentioned before, got a couple concepts in mind.

List #1
Destroyer Lord w/Weave, MSS
6 Wraiths
6 Warriors w/Night scythe
6 Warriors w/Night scythe
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge

List #2
Overlord w/Weave, MSS, Warscythe, Res Orb
Cryptek w/Aeonstave, Chronometron
10 Immortals
6 Warriors w/Night scythe
6 Warriors w/Night scythe
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge

List #3
Overlord
5 Warriors w/Night Scythe
5 Warriors w/Night Scythe
5 Warriors w/Night Scythe
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge
9 Scarab Swarms

So yeah, three fairly different lists and not entirely sure where I should start. List #1 is my favorite I think, but it is a bit handicapped with the crusade mission, so I am not sure.

Thoughts?

Noone has any thoughts? I am kinda stuck in a rut here :(

Go List 1. Because it is your favourite!

In List 1, ditch the 1 extra warrior in each squad and get a couple of whip coils.

In list 2, i suggest ditch the extra warriors, then swap the Chronotek for a lord with Warscythe, Weave, MSS. Move the Orb from the Overlord to the normal lord and put them both into the immortals. (not sure the points will quite work out, in which case drop the weave).

In list 3, I like the scarabs at smaller point games. But I think you need Weave and a warscythe on the OLord. swap 2 scarabs for weave and a warscythe.

hth

I have identical tourney next weekend, and I have thought about giving the first a try, if I end up choosing necrons and cant finish my grey knight painting. I would say go with it. What problems would you have with crusade when your enemy has nothing alive after wraithtruck!

This!

I would play list one myself, minus the extra warriors, becuase it is more like my builds.
