Primarily, I play Blood Angels. But when I saw a good sized, well painted army on Ebay the other day....I couldn't resist, so I bought in to Necrons!

I've done fair amount of reading on the subject, and come up with the following list. Starting at 1500 till I can expand the list a bit more.

Advice is welcome! If I'm making a noob mistake, point it out.

Overlord, WS, MSS, CCB

6x Canoptek Wraiths
-3x Whip Coils

5x Warriors
-2x Crypteks w/ Harp of Dissonance

7x Immortals (Gauss or Tesla, haven't decided.....probably Tesla)
-2x Lancetek
-Solar Pulse

7 pts. leftover

Well you could give one wraith a gun for 5 points

If you take warriors, put them in a Ghost Ark. They are worth the 115 pts and increase your protection so much. I know it's common knowledge that the 45pt Phase Shifter isn't worth it, but I always take one for my Overlord. Enemies tend to have power weapons :lol: Also, Anrakyr is a great Overlord and easy to make a model for. Flying 24" turn 1 and using Mind In The Machine on a heavy vehicle is pretty fun.

Give one wraith a particle caster for 5 points for better wound allocation and scrap the harp on the crypteks for more eldritch lances. The harp of dissonance blows!

Good catch! Didn't even think about that.

That's a thought. My goal with the Warriors was to have them sit in the back and hold an objective while using the unlimited range of the Harps to snipe. If necessary, I can focus them on a Landraider to reduce it's armor from the other side of the board, then put it down with a Barge or a Cryptek. Even if there isn't any heavy armor on the board, an unlimited range STR 6 weapon can still put some hurt on a flyer or a raider or something.

Maybe that's a bad idea though?

I'm pretty sure that you can't do this. If I'm wrong, I'm putting Anrakyr in my list ASAP, but I think the recent FAQ states that you can't use abilities that require LOS from inside a transport, unless it specifically states that it is a "Shooting attack". Mitm isn't a shooting attack, ergo....

Yeah, I messed up! Oh well.

The Harp of Dissonance is iffy. Necrons are good at shooting, but the reason Scarabs are so good is because there are so many attacks that you will most likely kill a vehicle. One Cryptek with the Harp? I don't think so. Use those 25 pts elsewhere.
As a general rule, scarabs do the entropic striking.

As far as warriors, go 9 with a Lance tek in a ghost ark. I also really like the Triarch Stalker in this combo for more destruction.
