Need tips tac. squads. Also take a captain and command squad and load the command squad up with power weapons. Get them into combat and shred anything short of the Nightbringer.

Need tips CC and if they break will almost certainly be run down. A fast moving assault unit eats scarabs well too.

Destroyer bodies are just as vulnerable to assault, but hard to catch. Bikes, perhaps? Constantly threaten the charge, and boost to chase their boost. You'll need a sarge with LCs or a pfist to properly threaten to win but tying them up might be just as good.

Necrons have hard times with vehicles. Only HeavyDs and the Monolith can penetrate medium armor, only the Monolith is AP 1, and it takes a LOT of glances to put a vehicle down in 5th. Necrons can do a decent job of preventing vehicle shooting, but actual kills will take quite a while. Remember, they only have S6 and down or S9 for shooting. A transport with extra armor is pretty hard to stop for Necrons, and even a full unit of Destroyers will only pick up 1.5 penetrating hits. And unlike slowly disintegrating a Russ or empty Land Raider, Necrons on foot can't afford to sit in range of a shaken transport.

The big threats are the Monoliths and Destroyers. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1029369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1029369.page GMT Re:Space Marines Vs Necrons.

Need tips ap stuff they will have res orbs. Assault the warriors with about anything, same goes for immortals. Destroyers are tough to catch because of their speed but they tend to move around alot and get away from the res orb. They are also in small squads so concentrate some fire so they don't get back up. Necrons are easily the weakest army in 40k so don't get to cheesy against them or it won't be much fun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1057016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1057016.page GMT Space Marines Vs Necrons.

And Plasma Spam.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1057089.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1057089.page GMT Re:Space Marines Vs Necrons. Need tips No really, it's true.
They're good at killing warriors and killing scarabs.
They also start where the necrons don't want them... closer.

Plasma is good, but Krak Missiles are better.
Devastators with 3 Missile Launchers + 1 Lascannon are the bee's knees.

Keep a unit within 4 inches of the entrance of the Monolith.
It will allow you to charge anything that comes out of the portal unless Monolith moves.
Staying that close will force the Lith to risk blowing itself up if it wants to target the offending unit with its flux arc.

Destroyers are really good, but have a maximum of 5 wounds for the unit.
These are the primary Krak Missile target. (remember to saturate)

Remember Warriors (without a Res Orb within 6") may not WBB after getting croaked by a Krak Missile.

Unless the Warriors, Immortals, Destroyers have a D-fields (unlikely) Dreadnoughts will annihilate them.
But keep in mind, dreadnoughts are stun bait for gauss.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1057153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1057153.page GMT Space Marines Vs Necrons.

The big problem here is creating a good list. Tailoring to beat Crons is fine and all, but when you play someone else, what then? Your tailored list will get beat, and you'll think, well, I'll write another tailored list.

Write a balanced list. Things Marines like: MM/HF Speeders. Dakka Preds. Bikes. Mech. There's more, but those few things should get you through.

A bike list would solve your problems. Speed and CC will fold Crons quickly. Once you figure them out, you'll run 'em through the wringer.

One more thing: Ignore the Monolith. Don't ignore it's capabilities, but don't bother shooting it. It's a quarter of his army that doesnt count for phase out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1060579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1060579.page GMT Space Marines Vs Necrons.

Word!

The only thing I'd change to a "Standard Mech SM) list is giving power weapons to Sergeants (which I usually don't) to cut the warriors down where you find them. There's no need to load on plasma to cut down necs. Cyclone MLs/Typhoon MLs are a big friend of yours (2 Typhoons are mandatory in my list ) for denying wbb otherwise just charge, you have the same profile but higher initiative and power weapons/fists which should be fair enough. Thus your list will be able of beating other players as well and your nec opponent won't hate you for specializing on him ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1063456.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260049/1063456.page GMT
