1750 Necrons

Initiate Age : 23 Joined : 24 Sep 2007 Posts : 273

So after looking over Makari's ork horde of 170 models I came up with this. I think its got what it takes to make a game of things. If I do play Necrons at the tourny I doubt this is what my list will be. Just thought it would be fun to throw down.

235 Monolith
288 Warriors x16
252 Warriors x14
280 Immortals x10
300 Deciever
185 Lord: Res Orb, Phase Shifter, Phylactery
72 Scarabs x6
72 Scarabs x6
60 Scarabs x5

1744
60 models
41 Necrons
10 Phase Out

Unless you hide that c'tan, he's a large vunerable target for shooting. Believe me He's the first that I would take out. Opponents will concentrate most if not all heavy fire on him. It looks good though. Why not use two monoliths and use the 2 tower tactic, you got mass amounts of shooting.

out of habit i had to look at it from my armies perspective...

that c'tan would be ignored at first, then, before it would get close enough, it would go down in 1 round of shooting. The scarabs are a nasty little tactic, though i would probably concentrate on them first round (i imagine they are turbo boosting for turn 2 tie up any unit they want?)

gimme more tactics, especially for how you would deal with the ork list. That i want to hear.

IF he gets near you. With my Daemon hunters 10 psycannons (no inv save), he's toast before he gets to me. I'll play the numbers even though they will need 6's to wound.

Yeah they are pretty cool! As the c'tan moved towards me, I could move also and fire at him keeping the distance between us.

Meh, C'tan are easy to ignore... but the deciever is still pretty rad.

Against a horde list (like Makaris proposed one) the c'tan would be wreaking some serious havoc.

pathfinders would make quick work of him.. but 30 orks would be toast pretty rapidly.

Ever thought about using the "wraithstorm" tactic? It has worked well for a fellow gamer of mine. Also 3 units of Destroyers are good, especially holding objectives and table quarters. Turbo to the objective in turn 6 to contest or take it. They can unleash alot of fire power.

Dume, he has been playing Necrons for some time now. I think what he is getting at with this list is to play with something that would work against Makaris horde.

His normal lists are a lot more nasty (and include some of the things you mentioned).

I think wraith storm is decent, but seems to get bogged down for a long time against most opponents.

I must have misunderstood his intentions, it seemed he was making a list to be competative with Makaris ringer list if he used it. I didn't claim he was inexperienced with Necrons and it shouldn't be taken as such. I would not assume to think that any of you are inexperienced with their army as we don't know each other or even have played each other. Tactic wise, you would be surprised to know how many players don't know many tactics for their own lists, other than kill, kill, kill. Wraith storm is very effective especially if you use a lord with a destroyer body and war scythe running with them. 9 wraiths with 3 attacks, 36 on the charge at str. 6, not including you lord.... I'll take those numbers.

Yeah, running a lord with them goes without saying.

I'm not too worried about a wraith rush. It's a lot of points on the necron players end to tie a unit up. Hell, they are killy but not killy enough to warrant the cost.

I see wraiths as being the one thing to get a big improvement in the next necron codex release. They really need it for how much they cost.

My understanding is they will get rending (which in the new rulebook it won't be as effective), plus FNP should make them more bang for the buck.
