Heres the 1850 Necron list I took to Adepticon. It did pretty well at 3-1 with 1 being a minor loss. It ususally nullifies most hit and run based Deathstars. In fact it matches up really well with most things out there.

HQ
Immmotekh
Chrono tek.

Zahndrekh

Troops

Warriors (Night Scythe)

Elite
Deathmarks (Night Scythe) 2 Abyssal Cryptekhs
Deathmarks (Night Scythe) 1 Abyssal Cryptekh

Fast
3 Scarabs
3 Scarabs

Heavy
3 x Spyders
3 x spyders
3 x Spyders (gloom Prism)

If Seer council, Lots of biker marines, beast star, screemerstar is a problem for you, give this list a try.

Very interesting list. Great showing at Adepticon!!! Would love to see some pics! Who do the HQ buddy up with? Did you have trouble with such few scarab models?

Why Imohtek over say a D Lord?

I really enjoy that list and think it looks super duper interesting. I love Spyders. How do those run and do you have anything to say about them performance , IE combat, how you got them there etc..

Do you use the scarabs as tarpits? What's the tactic there?

The tactic is to pump up a scarab swarm 9 extra bases a turn. You tentacle the scarabs toward the enemy staying out of LOS....or using nightfight cover (immotekh) mixed with terrain for defense. Once squad grows for 2 turns......send out 21 scarabs to destroy lots of enemy units....esspecially with furious charge. In a pinch....tarpit. Take hit and run from 2+ re-roll or hit and run marines and just keep piling in scarabs. Even when the unit dies, they were only a 45 point investment.

Scythes full of Deathmarks usually is enough of a deterant from the enemy rushing the scarab swarms while they grow. You have to sit and wait so Immotekh does random dmage to enemy....enough for a first blood here and there.

Where are you getting Hit and Run 2+ reroll? I'm unclear on what you mean by hit and run 2+ reroll.

I think he means remove it from the enemies 2+ reroll unit
