Deployment Type:
Pitched Battle

I won the roll tk deploy first and chose the side with more cover in order to deny him as much as I could seeing as very little of my army had plasma grenades.
The two raiders with trots and webway haemy and 9 wrack and webway haemy setup 12 inches in, ready to get as close aspossible on first turn. The 2 Ravagers setup next to them, behind buildings in case he seized. Reabers setup 12" in on my left behind a building in order to turboboost first turn. Hellions setup in center to move into cover and forward first turn. Everything else was in reserve.

I rolled +1 attack for combat drugs and rolled 2 extra pain tokens for Uriens rule, so every Wrack and Grot squad started with FnP and FC.

His deployment:

1 wo Warrior stayed in reserve, everything else hit the table. Monoliths were midleft, midright, and far right. One wrait midleft and midright, lords joined one 20 mansquad each, one midleft, one just right of center. Immortals went into building in center. Destroyers were on The far right between the monoliths, scarabs wer far left next to other monolith, Pariahs were behind the 20 man squad on the left, and Spyders were behind left warrior squad, right warrior squad, and between right warrior squad and destroyers. All deployment views are from my side of the table. Sorry for no pics didn't think to take any cause didn't think it was going tk go like it did.

He rolled to sieze and failed.

DE first turn:

Wrack and Grot raiders are both mid left and mid right and both moved 12" and disembarked. Haemies each got out as far forward as they could, while rest of grits and wracks hugged cover to try to keep alive. Ravagers each moved 12" to deny cover saves and get LOS on left warriors and destroyer squads. Reabers turnk boosted and bladevaned the scarabs, causing enough S4 wounds to drop 2 bases after armor saves and enough S6 wounds to drop two more with Instant Death.

Left Ravager and Raider fired Dissy cannons into left warrior Squad dropping 5. Right Ravager and Raider fired Dissy cannons into destroyers, dropping 1 for no WBB and 2 more that got it from spyder.

Necron first turn:
he moves everything forward 6" except Immortals. One monolith has range on the Wracks squad on Left and the bikes, rolls a 2 for both for shots, and misses hitting with all but one o. The Wracks which the pass the cover save on. Left warriors fire on Wracks, cause 8 wounds, all of but one saved from cover or FNP. Immortals fire onHellions, dropping 3 from failed saves, but they pass leadership. Remaining destroyer fire on right Raider, 2 pens and 3 glances, FF negates 2 glances and one Pen. He rolls a 5 for the other Pen, and causes one wound on the grits, who fail both cover and FnP. Other warriors try to hit Raider before Destroyers, but were out of range from Night Shields. His scarabs assaulted the reavers, who took out anothe two bases of them before they got to swing, then lost 2 bikes to return attacks. Scarabs took another two wounds from No Retreat, leaving 4 wounds left in the squad.

DE turn two:
Reserve rolls were amazing!!! Everything came on except one 10 man wrack squad with regular Haemy attached to it and the Talos. Urien and the 6 man grot squad came out left Portal, 1" away from left warrior squad. One wrack with Ancient attached came out same portal and
moved right in front of building Immortals were in. Bloodbrides move 3" through ruins out of left portal, and ran anoth 2" in shooting to close on left monolith. Other 3 wrack squads and Haemys came out right portal to go after other Warrior squad and destroyers. Hellio s moved forward to shoot and assault right wraith, and both grot and wrack squad that started on board moved up to get ready for assault.

Shooting:
lots of liquifier guns later, the left warrior squad had it's lord and 11 warriors left, immortals had 6 out of 10 left, right warrior squad had 14 and the lord left. Hellions shot and failed to killed the wraith, and the destroyers were killed by the right ravager, with no WBB due to spyder and lord too far away from them. Left Raider killed the left wraith, buthe is within6" of the lord so still getsWBB. Left Ravager takes down 3 Pariahs, but they pass leadership.

Assault:
bloodbrides roll4", enough to get to the left Monolith. Urien and grots, along with starting wrack squad assault warrior squad and lord. Other left side wracks assault immortals in cover. Hellions assault other wraith, other grots and 2 wracks assault other warrior squad. Reavers still locked with scarabs.

Reavers do enough wounds tk leave one on last scarad, who doesn't wound and fails two no retreat wounds for bikes to win and get first pain token. Bloodbrides immob, weap destroyed, and stun the left monolith. Urien and his assault wipe the lord and his warriors out. Immortals fail to kill any wracks, and are killed to one Immortal who fails his Ld test but outrolls me by one on initiative to run away 10", leaving him 3" from board edge. Hellions kill Wraith in CC, and the grots and 2 wracks kill the lord and all but 2 of the other warrior squad.

At the beginning of the DE 2nd turn, there were 57 necrons on the board for purposes of phase out. At the end, there was 3 still alive.

Start of Necron 2nd turn:
he passes a total of 12 WBB rolls. Necrons phase out and DE win!!!

The only reason I did sk well was because of the great reserve roll I had. He had a horrible WBB on that turn. I think this army will work really well, even if it's not tourney legal. It was alot of fun, and was built for antihorde at 3k.

Hope everyone enjoy the really lucky battle report for the Dark Eldar and feel free to comment!!!

Lastly, sorry for any spelling or grammar errors as I am doing
