My usual opponent always uses these lists. I play Necrons, and he always beats me with Unbound and solo vehicle stupidity.
(Running vehicles in seperate squads and putting them next to each other prevents high RPM AV weapons from doing damage to more than one with a single volley)
He allies ALL THE THINGS together.

His Lists:

Tau:
Fireblade, 2 Hammerheads, Riptide, 3 Solo Piranhas, 36 fire warriors, 3 Suits (One proxied as Farsight), all drones are marker drones.

Orks:
Solo Kans, Deff Dreads and Lootas. As many KMBs as possible.

Chaos:
Just about everything.

GK List
HQ-
Terminator Librarian
-ML3 (Rolling on Telepathy for invisibility)

Troops-
Strike Squad (10x GKs) with 2x Psilencers and 2x Daemonhammers
Purifier Squad w/ Psilencer

Elites
Paladins w/ Psycannon, Nemesis Banner, 5 Daemonhammers, Apothecary, and Land Raider.
Librarian and Paladins are in Land Raider together.

Heavy Support
Dreadknight w/ Heavy Psycannon and DOOMHAMMER.


Please help! I have almost every Necron unit.

It's hard to beat IoM ally shenanigans as Xenos as we lack a battle brother ally (except for space pansies).

Gauss is probably your best bet against his baneblade and maybe spam flyers?

The only way to beat IoM cheese (especially Grey Knight cheese) is through using your own cheese.

Tried Flyer spam last game. I almost got wiped as soon as the game started, any unit that dropped out of the flyers was instagibbed by tons of pie plates, and the Flyers couldn't do anything to AV14.

Purifiers are Elites by the way.

How many points is this?

The only other thing that I could suggest would be going going unbound yourself and ally in some stuff. Get some Tau allies as they're allies of convenience (I believe), as although they aren't upper tier anymore they do work well against Grey Knights and mech heavy lists +through deep striking fusion blaster suits).

Or another option is to do what most other IoM players do and ally in an Imperial Knight or two.

The way to beat him is to play Maelstrom missions, take plenty of troops in transports, preferably Nightscythes since he has no anti-flyer. Stay Battle-forged, so that your troops get Objective Secured. You don't need to kill the enemy, you just need to score more victory points than him. Play to the objectives all the time.

Doing this would bring my net total of friends who play 40k to 0.
Also, whenever I ask for more LOS blocking terrain because Gunline Tau are broken on open fields, he just says I'm whining because he can beat me.

Anyone know where I can get tons of LOS blocking terrain for cheap? I don't have much money and suck at making terrain.

Hot glue and cardboard.

Corigated for the bulk

Cardstock for details

Make it look nice.

It wont matter if your friend wont let you use it.

Otherwise found objects and books work well.

He's a tool... Shake that dude off your friends list and take the time to connect with the 3 at the store... Use the down time to paint or assemble more stuff and even make some terrain. Playing against an donkey-cave like that isn't productive or fun so ditch him and enjoy the other great elements of this game while you locate better opponents.
