What would be better in a 1500 point Necron list, 1 Doom Scythe or 2 Annihilation Barges?
|
Still unsure what army to choose |

2 AB. Doom Scythes are too expensive you would be better off with a Sentry Pylon.

My local meta doesn't allow FW. Would the tesla on the barges be enough for anti-air?

The ABs are a highly underrated AA platform. Those, combined with the minimum of 2 Nightscythes you should never be without, will be plenty of AA. Doomscythes have uses, but ABs are almost always better.

Did Fulgrim Just Behead Ferrus?

ABs are very good for AA purposes. Sure, you need 6s to hit, but with Tesla, you WANT 6s to hit.

Aye. S7 Tesla isn't too shabby against AV 12.

AB are OK anti air, you need quantity for best effect otherwise you will struggle with AV12

You don't have many options. If your meta has a lot of flyers, you might even think about getting AA guns, i.e. Quad Gun.
