I was just wondering what else could/should i get for the rest of my necron army.
i have a necron battleforce (which contains a ghost/doomsday ark, 5 scarab bases, 20 necron warriors and 5 immortals/deathmarks) and i recently picked up a necron lord with a ressurrection orb. what else do i need to start an army good for a tournament.

Thanks, mrdarkmesa

a) Annihiliation barges. They are excellent for the points, and the kit provides you with an overlord model as well.
b) Some form of anti CC. So, wraiths are the best CC unit we have - but expensive to buy as you need 2 boxes to make a decent unit. Alternatively, get more scarabs (i got some off Ebay), and support with Spyders.
c) Deathmarks and immortals are good. In order to get the most out of the box, you can actually make both the immortals and the deathmarks if you have some spare warrior legs and chests. In fact, if you haven't built your warriors yet, try this trick and build deathmarks and immortals out of the battleforce.
d) Get a couple of scythes. They are good delivery systems for all sorts of units.
e) Buying a lychguard/Praetorian box is well worth it - the bits in there make excellent crypteks (again on warrior bodies). I made Sword and Board Lychguard out of mine, but interweb would say use warscythes. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5812092.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5812092.page GMT
thanks for both your feedback. there is one slight problem. i hve a very low budget as i only have $75 left and i wanna spend it wisely. the trick with the immortals and deathmark i tried to do but didnt seem to work out, plus my warriors are assembled an ready for painting. one more thing, im constructing an ark, bur which one? doomsday or ghost ark?

thanks again, mrdarkmesa]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5813229.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5813229.page GMT
If you are in NZ, and are buying new, you aren't going to get either of those for $75 bucks. Wraithwing needs min12 to 18 wraiths, CronAir 5+ scythes.

However, they aren't they only builds that go well. What armies are you going to be playing generally and can you get hold of stuff cheaply? Are you comfortable with eBay?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5813425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5813425.page GMT
You should be able to get one box of Wraiths or a Night Scythe for $75 on Ebay or from most independent stores that stock 40k. That's a good place to start.

For the Ark, you could magnetise it pretty easily, but if you don't want to, I find the Doomsday Ark to be far more helpful but that just might be my play style.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5813598.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5813598.page GMT
Doomsday could be better as it is heavy support.

What points level are you aiming for?

I think style of play plays a big part and its always tough to tell you where to spend money FIRST but I wouldn't invest in Ghosat Arks first. You'll find it plenty easy to play without them.

Here's a sample list, assuming you built immortals and bought an Anni Barge (which will give you the extra overlord model).

Imotekh
Trazyn
5x Tesla Immortals (Trazyn here)
20x Warriors (Imotekh here)
Ghost Ark
5x Scarabs
Anni Barge

Comes to 1025 points. Not near my codex so not sure if Trazyn comes back as a Immortal. Trazyn and his obliterator are your counter attack unit. If not, use the below.

Imotekh,
Zahndrek
5xImmortals
15xWarriors (Zandrekh)
5x Warriors (Imotekh) Ghost Ark
5x Scarabs
1x Anni Barge.

The idea with the second list is to provide a bit more protection for Imotekh, who will be your warlord.

hth

depends on your playstyle really. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5814361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537763/5814361.page GMT
