Karandras with the scorpions of course, the Enhance Warlock with the Howling banshees will go in the wave serpent, and the Conceal Warlock will stay close to the 3 Guardian squads.

I was torn about taking Howling Banshees, and considering dropping them for some Fire Dragons, Windriders, Night Spinner, or Dark Reapers. Also, I'm not too sure about the three Guardian squads, I had two thoughts: Get rid of the banshees for some Heavy support and put a guardian squad in the Serpent or should I maybe take a unit of rangers instead? I hear Rangers suck, but against necrons maybe they would be useful?

Guass is your enemy. 24 inch range rapid fire and -1ap so your tee shirts wont do well. Quantum sheilding does not work if you hit it with 1 damage wounds (plentiful catapult shots). Dont take any tank buster guns against quantum sheilding. Also we had an issue with our necron player trying to shot his embarked warriors out of the ghost ark like the old open top rule. The ghost ark does not have such a rule anymore.

Last of all swapping the banshees for another waveserpent may be a good option. Im not sure how good the wave serpent is now but people say its amazing.

Short story, against necrons you just need lots of shots and some way to keep your troops alive. Maybe the windriders would be good for that. Ive nerver used the jetbikes.
