K, so I have this:

3 Monoliths
1 Canoptyk spyder
3 Ghost/Destroyer Arks
3 Wraiths
3 Destroyers
3 Tomb blades
1 Overlord
1 Stalker
3 squads of warriors
2 Night/Doom scythes
1 Nightbringer
5 Deathmarks
5 Lychguard

That's all I have. I have the option to change things as I still have money, so please give me suggestion. Trying to build as competitive of a list as possible, so please help me build. I have a general idea being ghost ark follows warriors. Cryptek (I may get one or two) with warriors for RP. Not sure where to go from there though. Thanks!

Hello there!

Monoliths are quite useless this right edition, sadly speaking. Sell them, all of them. They have been useless from 3rd edition to now.

Spyder keep it for fun with friends. Keep away from competitive lists. Night/Doom have the same pattern. Nightbringer is fun with friends, quite depending on the situation what is the meta in your local store, but mostly useless in competitive sites. Lychguard is trash, nothing to say.

Going for what you have essential:
- Ghost ark: meh, not totally useless in table, but you have a better choice to build it: DoomsDay Ark. Try to keep 2 DD in your rooster.
- Wraiths. Well, 5-6 in the same unit or split them in 3-3 in your rooster. They aren't going to kill anything, but they are a pain in the ass. You can charge into a unit that you want to be screened. Same for little necron spawns, same funcionality. But you should get rid of the idea that it gonna kill anything. Just screen.
- Tomb blades: good mobility, medium skills, good for everything, bad to mastery a shooting phase. Highly dependance on the situation and local meta.
- Destroyers: Oh lord, soft destroyers are the biggest gak in our index, heavy destroyers are better but coster. I'd rather prefer DD and CCB for efficiency.
- Blobs of warriors. Keep them 20u in same unit.
- Deathmarks: Raise them to 7-8, not neccesary to get more than that. You're not going to delete a thing with them, so better keep away from table. They're not ratlings, sadly.
- Stalker: Situational. In my opinion, it never gets impact, no matter the dices I use to. But at least, you'd have the marker to reroll 1s. You even have the chance to screen a unit with it. Keep it with gauss cannon always.
- IMMORTALS: why on earth you don't have a single one? These guys are the ONLY thing in our index that is somehow competitive! Buy at least 20 of them, keep them on tesla guns, units of 10. Overlord behind them to give MWBD every single turn.
- Buy at least 1 cryptek, behind ob 20x warrios blob.

To sum it up... Necrons currently are the lowest army in the competitive outlook. I love them, but it's the truth. Your core would be: Overlord, warriors+cryptek, immortals, doomsday ark. Nothing else.
