Just wanted to get some feedback on the list I've created for a potential necron army. It's a foot based list build around Imotekh's nightfight (shocking), Syders & Scarabs (no way), and big blocks of warriors (lolwut).

Imotekh The Stormlord - 225
Overlord: Warscythe, Ressurection Orb, Phaeron

Royal Court - 170
Eternitek: Chronometron
Transmotek: Seismic Crucible
Destructek x3

Royal Court - 110
Transmotek: Seismic Crucible
Destructek x2

Triarch Stalker - 150
Triarch Stalker - 150

20 Necron Warriors: Ghost Ark - 375
20 Necron Warriors: Ghost Ark - 375

Cantoptek Scarabs x9 - 135

Canoptek Sypders x3 - 150

So basically, I put a transmotek and each of the Phaeron's in a block of warriors. Screening them will the Scarabs, assisted by the Spyders. The Destructek's just chill in the ghost ark since the warriors don't fit, and the Triarch Stalkers help me blow up tanks and potential tie up low strength assault squads (harlies are pretty scary for this list).

The whole point is to create a mobile, unkillable, scoring firebase with the 40 warriors. I can kite enemy assault units all day long thanks to destructeks, a scarab screen, and Relentless. Killing the warriors from range should be nearly impossible with a Rez Orb, Night Fight, and the two arks.

Thoughts? There are definitely some ideas in my head to keep the theme but tweak the list. The Stalkers are basically just a little tacked on bit to help kill tanks and stuff, so they're replaceable. I figure the best way to get anti tank into the list is Destructeks, since they'll be safe inside the arks.

I'd really like to drop Imotekh, but then this list probably auto loses to Mech Dark Eldar. But a Warscythe, another Rez orb and 75 extra points does sound nice. I probably have to invest them into Solar Pulses because this is really short ranged.

Hmmm. Looks pretty solid to me.

From a play perspective once the ghost arks get popped, you'll have destructeks wandering around by themselves.

Also, you only have 2 scoring units (but big ones - I assume you are hoping to have them spread out over a couple of objectives?)

Looking at both the above, how about this?

Drop one warrior blob/Imotekh and replace with Anrakyr, Lord with Orb, Immortals w tesla x10 (Anrakyr upgrades immortals to eternals). Add 2xsolar pulses to give night fight to enemy on T1,T2.

Remaining points use for a small 5 man warrior squad with LanceTek to hold home objective.

Can't remember what the crucible does - is that the tremortek thing? Don't you need a Ctan with Writhing worldscape for that to be really effective?

That's a lot of shooting to be limiting yourself with Imotekh's storm...
