Subject: [2000] - Necrons - Arking Lot for RTT/GTs
Hey All, I've been iterating on this "Arking Lot" list that seems to be floating around the Necrontyr web scene, and I think I might have found something that has a lot of potential. I've tried a version of this with a lot of success in casual matches, but I am interested in seeing what people think of its competitive potential.
+ Heavy Support + Annihilation Barge [6 PL, 125pts]: Gauss Cannon
Annihilation Barge [6 PL, 125pts]: Gauss Cannon
++ Total: [107 PL, 5CP, 1,995pts] ++
One possible twist I see is rotating to Nightbringer instead of Void Dragon and swapping from 3 DDAs & 2 Annihilation barges to 3 Annihilation Barges & 2 DDAs. Thoughts?

I think having the Nightbringer is a very good idea as you have literally no significant melee present/threat otherwise (CCB is there but I wouldn't count on him cleaning up). I think you should consider dropping the Skorpekh Lord as he's out of place a bit in this list for something cheaper so you can keep 3 DDAs. Probably swap the Skorpekh for a Lord/Overlord with minimal upgrades, that way you even gain MWBD or Lord's Will for the immortals (dunno how much that will accomplish but could be nice). The other option is take a Lord and also take 2 Cryptothralls (extra action bodies/obj campers).

Few things:
- keep the CCB in the patrol detachment to save 2CP, as the warlord refunds the CP cost of his own patrol.
- consider replacing the particle beamers with Gauss cannons for the extra AP.
- nightbringer > VD
- the skorpekh lord doesn't have much utility here, drop him in lieu of a cloaktek to heal your vehicles.

I don't think the durability is a problem with him, but rather the output.
However, since you need a second HQ there's not really much space for another countercharge threat that fits in there. Repairing with Technomancer is pretty much a waste of time and points.
As you know I'm pretty negative on DDA's, so 3x Annihilation Barges always gets my vote.
Have you been missing Mephrite & Talent for Annihilation any? I've been debating splitting my list into a Mephrite Detachment and some flavor of Eternal Conquerors. Annihilation Barges in Mephrite to fire off extra MW's and AP.

There are certainly a few times where I have missed the stratagem. It's worth considering having split dynasties.
I'm playtesting a really extreme version of this list with 3 aux support detachments. Entire list is just CCB lord, Nightbringer, 3x DDA, 3xTesseract Arks, 3x Annihilation Barges (each in its own aux support detachment) and I think I like it better.
