I'm not looking for a WAAC but I am looking for something rather powerful and can give other armies are fun for their money.
So here is what I have for Necrons at 1500

Overlord with Res joining the Warriors

18 Warriors
5 Warriors inside Ghost Ark
5 Warriors inside Ghost Ark

Stalker with Heavy Gauss

5 Destroyers 3 with Heavy Gauss

Doomsday Ark
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge

Total 1494

In my opinion this list has everything that makes Necrons strong from high AV value, strong survivability with the Warriors, and some high AP attacks for those Dreads and Tides. The thing I also like is how there's synergy with the list, the Ghosts not only help the Warriors but they also serve as a moving shield for the Warriors and Destroyers. The Stalker and makes a target easy to shoot at with the Destroyers and Doomsday Ark for some very powerful dakka. So what do you guys think? Should there be some changes or some other advice?

I assume the Overlord is going with the walking warriors? Ditch 2 normal destroyers and put a warscythe, MSS and Weave on the overlord, because otherwise he won't have a hope to survive a challenge.

This is true, I'm not too worried about a challenge since I'll be keeping my distance and just blasting my enemies. The Overlord will be there to give life to the Warriors and just keep on going, or at least that's the plan.

I'm with mark on this one.

You don't always get to choose to "keep your distance" when playing someone. I would go as far as to say you never really get to choose. There are man fast armies that will close in on you.. I have armies that would be in your face by t2

mixed destoyers are meh.. because of the limited range on the regular guns forcing you to get closer than you need to be.

Good point, I was planning on using the Arks as a moving shield to give some cover to my Warriors but that doesn't mean they will always be able to stop a charge. So I'll drop one regular Destroyer and that gives me enough points to give the Overlord a warscythe, MSS and Weave.
