Been about 6 months since I've ran my Necrons, wondering if a list like this is still considered strong given the updates to the overall meta, new books, formations, etc, thanks.

Looks very strong

Why did you go particle beamer instead of gauss on your tomb blades? I am still a novice at this and I am curious the pros and cons. I am debating doing a mixed squad (2 gauss 1 beamer) for my Tomb Blades (just have 1 squad currently).

No problem, good question. I think that str 6 ap 5 ignores cover blasts on mobile, durable, relentless units are far more potent against far more things than str 5 ap 4 rapid fire gauss. Couple other points, I have 3 units of warriors in ghost arks, the list is packing a ton of gauss already. Also, even though ap 4 seems a lot better than ap 5, for the purposes of competitive games, ap 3 is really the magic number, anything above that starts to become unimportant, however, the beamers being strength 6 means they can instant death guard/eldar/deldar/tau multi-wound units. There's a few reasons.

I don't think you can have 4 units of 3 Tomb Blades (1-3 units in the Reclamation Legion requirements). But you can have 3 units of 4 Tomb Blades for the same points.

Correct, slight oversight there, thanks.
