... right?
HQ [470]
Overlord (scythe, barge) = 180
Overlord (scythe, barge) = 180
2 Harbingers of Destruction (x2 solar pulse) = 110

TROOP [416]
8 Immortals (tesla, Night Scythe) = 236
5 Warriors (Ghost Ark) = 180

FAST [315]
5 Wraiths (3x Coils, 1x Caster) = 210
7 Scarabs = 105

HEAVY [295]
2 Spyders (1x Prism) = 115
Annihilation Barge = 90
Annihilation Barge = 90

TOTAL [1496]

... though, with four AV13 vehicles and three Tesla Destructors.
It does seem to have enough of its basic anti-armor/anti-infantry roles filled.
maybe just too light on objective taking?
(though, I'm not sure what I would drop to free up the 65 points needed for the obligatory squad of 5 late-game-walk-on Warriors)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449765/4283092.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449765/4283092.page GMT Re:[Necron] Overbalanced 1500 list
AV14 killers - CCB, Scarabs - Tick
anti horde - tesla, wraiths, gunboat - Tick
Ability to hold 1 objective - Tick
Ability to contest 4 additional objectives - Tick (assuming vehicles or scarabs survive).
Fun to play? CCB, Anni Barge, Wraiths, Gunboat, scarabs - Tick
Extra Cheese? Fail. No death and despair??

But seriously, in objective games you only need to hold one objective more than your opponent. imho, as long as you have a plan to get one objective uncontested and can contest ALL the remaining ones reliably, you win. So, you have 2 units that can hold objectives, they are both pretty tough so they are likely to survive to when you need them.

You appear to have created a balanced list that looks easy to play but requires a shedload of tactical skill to master in objective games. Actually, it is only seize ground that will give you any issues as you'll be all over the opponents objective in C&C. (how does holding your opponent objective while contesting your own mean you win? "Yes, we definitely won, ignore the enemy troops outside the door" )

However, if the 6th Ed points system comes and you get points for holding objectives at the end of each turn, and if they have to be scoring units, that could be a problem.

For now though - awesome list! Despite the lack of cheese - no death and despair

Thinking about it - funny that a "balanced" list has to have so much Mech in it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449765/4284754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449765/4284754.page GMT
