Hey everyone I need some feedback!
Im a new necron player I have only played 4-5 games with them so far.
This is the army for a 1250pts army.

HQ: Overlord, Warscyth, The Nightmare shroud.


Troop:10 Warriors


Troop: 10 Warriors


Troop: 9 Immortals.


Elite: 5 Lychguards, Hyperphase swords, Dispertion shields.


Elite: 5 Deathmarks.


Fast Attack: 6 Wraiths, Whip Coils.


Heavy Support: 2 Heavy Destroyers


Heavy Support: 2 Heavy Destroyers

1st question -So Im thinking of splitting the Wraiths in to 2 units of 3 each. Or shall i keep them in a unit of 6.
The unit of 6 is good but it feels like its a big target for mass shooting.
If I splitt them I will have more borde controll.

2nd question- I love the Lychguards. And my SM friend fears them alot. But they are so slow. Shall I remove them and put in somthing else?
Or shall I keep them in and just use them as a counter assualt unit?
If I remove them what shall I take instead?

PS: We are using the Swedish comp.

I would possibly use the mephrit dynasty cohort instead of a CAD, since you have three troop choices and none of the banned items. You lose ObSec on your troops but gain the ability to re-roll failed reanimation rolls of one.

The problem is that I dont have that book =/

Do you need it? Blood of kittens has the detachment listed and command benefits rules. You can (I think) use the necron warlord traits anyway, and you're not taking any special wargear from the list?

Ok I can take a look.
The problem is that I play against players with alot of obsec units. SM, NIds, Eldar, Orks.

But what about the units like the wraiths?
Im sill thinking of have 2 units of 3 wraiths, instead of one unit of 6. They do ok in a unit of 6. But the rest of the army is slow, So my opponents will just focus fire one the wraiths. So thats why Im thinking about it.
And then buy one more box of Wraiths and bump the units up to 2 units of 4 wraiths In 1500pts army. What do you think about that?
Its so hard =/

I've heard that wraiths are always better msu. Since they don't have great damage output, it's better to have multiple units so you can tarpit and react more efficiently to enemy movement.

Thanks for the comments.
@ Anrakyr I will try 2 units of 3 this saturday.
I need more speed in my army. So 2 units will cover more of the table=)
