Necrons are mid range shooting army. so you need somthing to help you get around the board fast for objectives as well. Replace Imotekh and C'tan and use the points to help movement such as Doom scythe and tomb blades. Flayed ones are a distraction at most or tar pit. if your grouping your basic nec lord with warriors, no need for Res Orb.. let the ghost ark rebuild your units. at 1000 I find the D-lord is a must but i normaly don't get to take a Court when i play him. its more of a "steal punch" roster.. no trickery tactics. i've been playing tournaments at 1000 and my club practice at 1000 its really hard to find that combo at 1000 that works well and is a Strong hold by 4th round. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4025806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4025806.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts imo, it is a bit small to have Imotekh and a Ctan.

I like this alot better,, but i'd say drop one of your spyders and a tad of warriors to add a annihilation barge.. at 90 points.. its pretty much a must take model at so low point games. your enemy will focus fire power on your lych guard right off the bat so carful on VOD with them, i'd keep them with the over lord that has the resorb. i was runing a group of Praetorians with my D-lord but found out they have "shoot me" writen on thier fourhead so by the time i make it accross the board i was normaly down to 2 plus a wound on my Dlord. but give this a try def let me know how it works out. use your swarms to draw attention .. if you can get them into a vehicle more the better but there is alot of weapons that will instant kill them because of thier low Toughness. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4026150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4026150.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts
In any case I have to turn in the list on sunday, so much time to practice :(

Another thing is I don't really like the barge that much, I don't know why...besides I don't own one hehe.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4026749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4026749.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts
what else do you have for heavy support? and i'm guessing this is a wysiwyg tournament?

it also took me a while to "like" the annihilation barge but it does work good and have seen it tip the table in my favor before. the St 7 works good also with the tesla rule of a single 6 = 3 hits. the arking.. hmm i've seen it work well but you can't bank on it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4026990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4026990.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts STR it does have AP 3 and Gauss rule]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027056.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027056.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts lol. so yes gauss gauss gauss.. thats what necrons do best. is this a friendly game or tournament?

the only thing that i see that has a " shoot me " sign on it .. is the lychgaurd.. make sure you keep those expensive boys with the res orb lord.. they can provide cover for your swarms half way cross the table then turn the swarm loose by then you should have 9 swarms built up. don't forget you can also add swarms even if they are in Close Combat. tar pit a enemy unit and keep adding swarms. or let them eat armor off vehicles. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027072.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts FLGS. I'll try out both lists since we are only 16 players total and our meta is pretty different. Mechanized IG is our biggest threat for example.

i have a friend that runs Space Marines.. but he is assault guy.. so all his vehicles he has moves at 12' because they are assault.. so running my swarms against him don't work well cuz then i only hit on 6.. so i have to use "gauss" to stop his vehicles. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027143.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027143.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts

*With the stormlord in a transport you can use his doombeam like a monster, thanks to the glories of open topped.

Imotehk is only a non-choice in 1k when you want to use a 200+pt unit like c'tan (or lychguard). That's my take on it. Personally I think he's one of the strongest units in the game, as his lightning is random, but extremely strong. str 8 d6 rolls has a fair chance of penning most non superheavies, and destroys transports on a regular and frequent basis. It also instakills most every single infantry.

Since transports are so common, and I've yet to play against a list that doesn't use at least one, I just can't get over the utility of lightning. Add to that his destroyer staff, phaeron upgrade, and general overlord strengths he's just the core of almost every army I make at 1k.

Not to mention reserving to avoid the lightning is a blessing for slow-moving necron. If they give you time to set up your shooties on objectives then you should win, regardless of perfect late game reserve deployment.

The one thing I don't understand in a lot of small lists (1k) is the whole 5man mentology of necron squads. 5 Lych, 5 DM, 5 Immortals, I see it all the time. I'd much rather have the equivalent pts from Lychguard in warriors, or hell, even wraiths. I understand why people like lych, and by god they have cool models, but in small lists I'd take a c'tan before I touched just a 5-man of lych.

In small games it seems like it always comes down to:

1. How many durable but cheap troops do you have to hold points?

2. How many vehicles do you have to spread anti-tank fire?

3. How many fast units do you have to contest points at the last minute?

In scarab-spyder lists it always seems like you're meant to lock the scarabs in combat asap and leave them there the whole fight. I tend to use mine for that only as a last resort. My primary use for them is to hide in cover near one of the "unclaimed-till-turn-4" objectives. With the assault, or the threat of assault, they can weaken even a strong cc unit for a turn and last maybe two, giving you some breathing room elsewhere to grasp for points.

PS: KPs is a joke with necron in my experience, lock your army into huge mobs and just laugh while the enemy tries to pick off units for a kill point while you constantly regenerate :x.

I never thought of using anything but a warscythe since it would have a better chance at penetrating tanks.

While I tested the barge I didn't really get many hits and the the one that hit DID destroy the vehicle...then the barge immediatly dies from units firing it/assaulting it.

Maybe we're just unlucky, that's all]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027368.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027368.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts ap 1 hit line, talk about mow down some troops and hit a tank or two up to 3 D6 in inches. how ever i have rolled shot a 4 and two 1's total of 6 inch.. yeah that sucked but on avge your looking at 10 inchs give or take. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027422.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts 2d6 and draw a line]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027444.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436238/4027444.page GMT Necrons 1000 pts D6 not 2.. so basicaly the first marker is any where up to 12' of model then roll 3D6 and from the first marker thats how many inches.. thats why i say .. on avg 10 inches from marker .. still i have rolled very high with this and i have fell short too..lol but very fun to watch your oppent go " oh crud "

so really your looking at the total range can be 12' .. and if you roll 3 6's .. 18' so a total of 30 inch from the model..

Just had a 750pts Seize Ground game vs Grey Knights.

List was:

Overlord w/ warscythe & Res. Orb

7 Immortals
7 Necron Warriors
7 necron warriros

2 Destroyers
1 Heavy destroyer

Doomsday Ark.

I also tested the last list I posted but got rid of one regular destroyer and replaced the Overlord with anrakyr the traveler. I fought vs Blood Angels and, even though deepstrike is your worst enemy, I almost won. In the end we tied on our Capture and Control Spearhead game.

The key here is the Veil of Darkness...Mind in the Machine helped destroy a Furioso Dreadnaught, though
