Had a pretty interesting idea for a Necron list.

http://htmlpaste.com/b9a1da4d5eef22f0b5a933f9edd71491772a4edb

Imotekh + Nemessor Zandrekh w/ Obyron as HQ choices.
2 royal courts to take two destruction crypteks with solar pulse one of them grabbing a N. Lord w/ Res Orb
Blob of 20 warriors - attach lord + obyron
2 groups of 5 warriors flying in Night Scythes
2x 6 model groups of wraiths (whip coils sparsely as points allowed)
2x A. Barge

Game starts with night fighting from Imotekh and ideally continues to turn 3 (pretty reasonable), when it ends I use the 2 destruction crypteks to get 2 more turns of night fighting.

The night fighting allows for (hopefully) some destruction from Imotekh's lightning before it expires and for the wraiths to move pretty freely under cover of night to close on assault targets. The wraiths can tarpit high priority targets (HQ's) or kill open infantry models or really nasty armor, whatever is in range.

Zandrekh is flying around in a Night Scythe as a beacon for Obyron's warrior blob to drop on targets (preferably with tank hunters from Zandrekh to take out long ranged armor targets to kill before they get a chance to fire after night fighting). If they are assaulted, he can deep strike them out of assault again on the next turn.

Barges move up the field under night fighting cover as well, hopefully I can keep them behind cover to keep them in the 3+ cover save range the whole way up, they along with the scythes are my anti-air and anti-troop depending on what's in range and higher priority that turn.

With some luck on Imotekh's night fighting, I could see this being pretty horrible to play against.

Seems horrible and nasty (although typically I hate sinking that many points into HQ choices). Anything I'm missing?

I can see how it would seem nice but there are a few issues

One, lord of the storm does not work from night fighting caused by solar pulse. You would be better served to get a chrono tek in there to reroll a failed NF.

Next, Zandy has to be on the battlefield to grant his powers and for oby to DS next to them. Which means if he is in a NS you have to hope he comes in t2 other wise you have wasted half the game with your buffs hidden. You are also DS 22 models, which greatly increases you chance of mishap. Plus it makes you a pie plate target. (Provided you a DS when zandy is off the board, even with him on you have to be real careful where you place oby. Fail to place one model.. poof mishap.

You are spending a metric ton of points on your HQ slot which is going to leave you lacking in other areas. At 2k you are going to see a lot of firepower from other armies... they could very well shoot you off the board.

I could see this being fun, and if you faced someone who wasn't preparred it could do well. You come up against Tau, DE anything with search lights and you are likely going to suffer.
