Granted I'm a new Necron player, but a successful tactic I've seen involves using the destroyer lord and scarabs swarms to move directly into the brunt of the enemy to cause some trouble. All in all it is a sacrificial unit. This allows all my warriors to have time to shoot and quickly retreat back.

In the meantime my destroyers will be at the opposite end of the board laying cover fire down and moving in to protect the warriors when needed. The warriors will continue to fire and retreat back under this cover.

Also: Warriors really arnt that great. Immortals are amazing at busting down infantry.

I would suggest losing some warriors and adding some heavy destroyers to start. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174153.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174191.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List

What will you do if the opponent has AV 14?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174192.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List HQs]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174198.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174200.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List IMO. If the guns were twin linked I would say yeah, but their not. It may sounds easy to roll 3s but for some reason it never happends. I would say play the list how you like and see what works and what doesnt. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174231.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1174231.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List
Destroyers are cheaper and their multiple S6 shots (3 per model) against the side armor of a Land Raider would actual do more damage in the long run.

LRs have AV 14 on all sides so...

You only need a single unit to contest an objective. the most objectives in a regular game is 3. Presuming scarabs are your only objective grabbers don't you think 6 is enough? Hey its not my list, do with it as you like. But when trying to shave points here and there consider taking out a few scarabs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1175099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1175099.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1175167.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1175167.page GMT 1,750 pt Necron List

So, now I should definitely make room for heavy destroyers and immortals.

Are Monoliths 100% necessary?

Here was what I was originally going for so that you can understand my noobie reasoning:

You need a way to avoid close combat.

There are several ways to do this all of which have their own advantages and disadvantaes: Walling with scarabs, walling with monoliths, taking a destroyer based army.

Just my thoughts, good luck building a necron force.

I don't want to get rid of some of the swarms but in reality it will benefit my mobility and strength.

I think this might balance out my list enough to be more competitive than the previous list. What do you guys think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1178157.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269116/1178157.page GMT
