Considering something that won't break the bank as I tend to not have much surplus funds each month, is the following list any good or should I go back to the drawing board? The Necron Battleforce seems like it's really good value for what you get in it, so this is mostly using that with some extras (I'm trying to also prepare a shopping list so I know what it's going to cost me so I can save appropriately). However I don't know much about Necrons in 6th edition as I've only skimmed through the Codex briefly; I do know that they don't have a 6th edition Codex (yet?) but their 5E Codex was likely designed with 6th in mind. Last I remember with Necrons (from way back) if you reduced them to like 20% or something you would automatically win the game... is that gone? I don't recall seeing it in the codex.

Points may or may not be accurate, I am using a web-based army builder to experiment

HQ
Overlord w/Res Orb, Warscythe, Command Barge - 210 points (This loadout is only because that seems to be what the model included in the Command Barge has equipped, and I like to stay WYSIWYG)

TROOPS
10x Necron Warriors w/Ghost Ark - 245
10x Necron Warriors w/Ghost Ark - 245

FAST ATTACK
3x Necron Destroyers - 120

HEAVY SUPPORT
Annihilation Barge - 90
Annihilation Barge - 90

TOTAL: 1,000

I could also do the following instead (again mostly using the Battleforce):

HQ
Overlord w/Staff, Res Orb, Command Barge - 200

TROOPS
10x Necron Warriors w/Ghost Ark - 245
10x Necron Warriors - 130 (On foot)
5x Necron Immortals w/Night Scythe - 185

FAST ATTACK
3x Tomb Blades - 60

HEAVY
Annihilation Barge - 90
Annihilation Barge - 90

TOTAL: 1,000

I could also do this, which would cost me about $50 more but seems to be overall better:

List #3

HQ
Necron Overlord w/Warscythe, Phase Shifter, Command Barge - 225

TROOPS
10x Warriors w/Night Scythe - 230
10x Warriors w/Night Scythe - 230

FAST ATTACK
3x Wraiths, 1 w/Whip Coils - 115

HEAVY SUPPORT
Annihilation Barge - 90
Annihilation Barge - 90

TOTAL: 980

This one would also let me use the Ghost Ark that comes with the Battleforce as a Doomsday Ark at higher points values. So without knowing much of anything about Necrons, is this a start in the right direction or completely off base?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577956/6507151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577956/6507151.page GMT
