Just looking for some help/ feedback. Wanted to get into Necrons so I got the hypercrypt box over thanksgiving. The box value is 715 points so got the Doom scythe and Heavy destroyers to bring it to 1000 points is there anything I should swap and add or is it okay as is to play casually? Not looking to win tournaments just trying not to get stomped to badly by friends.

This is what I’m setting up so far, any and all help is appreciated!

Hypercrypt Legion
Incursion (1000 Points)

How do you plan to take and hold objectives?
That’s how you win games.

Was hoping with Lychguard and warriors lol

That's two units. One durable, and one with OC 2.
That's not a lot.

Also, why the Enhancement on the Overlord? That one does NOT stack with the Overlord's native ability.

To cover more ground, since the unit has no range attack I thought I’d get to objectives fast and to add the 2 heavy destroyers I had to move points at so I thought it was a fair compromise. The list isn’t in stone just want to make 1000 points out of the box with a couple add ins

By all means, try it if you own the models.
But if you want to add more, I’d add some more units period.

What you should add really depends upon what you'll be facing.

Do you know what your friends play with /play with most often? If so, take things that will be effective against them.

Have you built all those models yet? If not, consider doing things like splitting the 10 Lychguard into 5 Guard and 5 Praetorians - at 1k points you have more than half of your list sunk into the Void Dragon and Doom Scythe and you could do with having more units.

Doom Scythe could be legitimately quite good in this size of game, you could move it around with hypercrypt rules to avoid the lame flyer restrictions, and just keep it at a safe range.

Enmitic heavy destroyers are a tough unit to use well - they are great in Awakened Dynasty with a Lord leading them. If these guys are built already, consider splitting them into 2 units for objectives/actions.

Swap your enhancement out for Dimensional Overseer or Osteoclave Fulcrum, more teleporting or better teleporting will help you get to where you need to be to score points.
