[Where's my Space Marine?]

Heya you might of seen the talk in the forums i'm joining the necrons, all I need now is help on a list for my necrons...

Here is what I have

HQ
Lord with OoR,VoD: 200
Troops
17 Warriors: 306
17 Warriors: 306
Elites
10 Immortals: 280
Heavy Support
3 Tomb Spyders: 165
1 Monolith: 235

Total: 1,492

This seems too many points of a waste but this is the best outcome i have come up with.
 
Comments will be greatly appreciated

[hardcore]

would you tell what models do you have? and how many? that way we all know what you have to work with (unless you magically happen to have an infinite budget for Necrons)

[Unholy Harbinger]

What are your plans for the tomb spyders? Also how do you plan on using the monolith?

Also I normally run:

Lord VoD+ 15 points
10 Immortals
10 Scarabs
28 warriors
1 Monolith
4 Destroyers

[Where's my Space Marine?]

Unholy Harbinger: Plans for the Tomb Spyders are to be anti-tank, mybye hide them behind the monolith so they can jump out and rape them, and to tie up other units if nothing else

Monolith is gonna pull warriors out of CC, and of course, blast the heavy armour elites or heavy tanks if a good opportunity rises, If I need to fit to the situation I might deep strike the monolith behind their lines if I need to get to the weak points and just let the warriors walk out of there and blast them to death.

I like your list better to be honest, destroyers I think work better for me and Personally change those scarabs to tomb spyders, they will be making them as they march forward anyway

hardcore: Like I said when you posted the Phalanx Box, about 150 pounds to use (already bought a lord for which I used to test my colour scheme.)
I might just forget about it to be honest, but keep into the modifications though

[Unholy Harbinger]

Just be careful with making scarabs as they will reduce the squads majority toughness to 3 making the tombspyder very vulnerable.

[Where's my Space Marine?]

Yeah but surely when they die it will go back to toughness 6?

[Thor{DoH}]

If you have one Scarab with the Tomb Spyder then the average toughness is 6; if there's no majority then use the highest. When you have two then you are at T3 and if you lose one or both Scarab bases then yes, you're back to T6. The problem is not only are you easier to wound but you'll take more of them, which means the Tomb Spyder will start having to make saves. So, just be aware of that when you start making Scarabs, it can bite you in the dyi.

This doesen't matter anyway because Tomb Spyder can't be targeted, right?

Target the unoit with some basic weaponry and he WILL fall.

Ok I don't want to cause any arguements so back onto subject

Just any problems you have with my list? i'll give it time to rethink it.

EDIT: ok rethought the list and here is what i've come up with

HQ

Lord with OoR: 140

Troops

16 Warriors: 288
15 Warriors: 270

Elites

10 Flayed Ones: 180
10 Flayed Ones: 180

Fast Attack

3 Destroyers: 150

Heavy Support

1 Monolith: 235
1 Tomb Spyder: 55

Total: 1'498

Bold doesen't seem to be working, so sorry for the klkn format (could be because i'm on the old windows on this computer and the javascript won't work)

this better or even worse? Comments will be appreciated

[Mr. HF G. Liath]

Make ONE scarab, and ONLY one scarab. This way you get a T6 bullet shield (I laugh at heavy 1 )

I don't know if you get to take its free cover save, but its still a bullet shield. 10 bolters = around... 14 hits and then about TWO wounds. Thats enough to do... maybe a wound on each?

Two wounds on the swarm, sounds good for me with a giant volley of bolters 

Any more comments please!? I NEED MORE!!! 

[Unholy Harbinger]

Necrons don't get a free cover save.

The issue of majority toughness and tombspyders is very annoying! bUt i do love having 1 giving a T6 W3 bullet shield!
