This is a list i have had some decent success with recently (beat Ba and Deathguard a few weeks agao, and DE last night).

but i am looking to tweak it a little and wanted the advice of the venerable Dakka community. here's the list as it stands:

OverLord - CCB, MSS, Weave, Scythe

Lord - Scythe, Res Orb
Cryptek - Lance, Pulse
Cryptek - Lance
Cryptek - Lance

5 Warriors - Ghost Ark, LanceTek (with Pulse)
10 Warriors - LanceTek
10 Warriors - LanceTek
10 Immortals - Tesla (with Lord)

7 Scarabs
4 Destroyers (2 Heavy)

Anni Barge
Anni Barge




Now, i understand that 7 scarabs isn't great but that's all i had sspace for.

Only recently tried mixing up the Detroyer squad and i think it is the way to go. i still get 2 "lascannons" but i also get 4 S5 AP3 shots as well so they can harrass infantry sqauds too.

My question - would it be worth dropping a squad of warriors in favour of a pair of spyders? This gives me more scrabs to play with during the game. i woudl rather not drop one of the Anni barges as i like to combine fire with both of them for extra "POW".

Basically i tend to leave the warriors squads at the back (or one of them anyway) to guard the home objective. the Ghost ark and support either them or one unit moving up, and can make a 12" dash for a last turn contest if needs be. Do i need to have a full 10 man squad holding the home? Is a 10 man squad more advisable?

In the last 5 or 6 games the "home" unit has done nothing but take pot-shots. but in one game it literally won the game for me by holding out against a BA assault sqaud and stoppign them claiming an objective which would have made the game a draw.

im not a necron player so i cant really help you but to save up on points i would either go the anti infantry wrought or the anti tank wrought for your destroyers so 4 none upgrade or 3 upgraded
