first battle.

[God_Grinder]

ok guys i got my first battle with my necrons this week. accualy my first battle in about 8 years or so. ok so i need a 1k pt list to take on jimmys black templars.
here what i thought .

HQ lord/ res orb, phalactery, warsyth. 165.
troop warriors x10 180
troop warriors x10 180
fast attack destroyers x3 150
fast attack scarabs x6 w/ dfeild 96
heavy support monolith 235

my other thought was to drop the monolith and tahe another squad of warriors and add a destroyer. but i figgured templars dont have the havocs to damage the mono and they will have to get close to do enough damage and the gauss flux arc is pritty buff.
what do you guys think?

I say get more warriors. That is the bulk of your army, and with 18pts per model, you need the bodies.

3 squads of 10 warriors would be scary to see walking towards me.

[God_Grinder]

ok so how about this revised list.

lord- warsyth, phalactry, resorb 165.
troops- 10x warriors 180
troops- 10x warriors 180
troops- 10x warriors 180
fast attack- 3x destroyers 150
fast attack- 6x scarab basses 96
heavy support- tomb spyder 55

i thinnk that aught to do the trick

[Baron Spikey]

that should do it- if he brings a 'raider so much the better- its just a big box of victory pts waiting for your warriors to open fire.

[hairyyahoo]

that raises your phase-out threash hold too

either drop the scarabs for more destroyers or else lose the destroyer for more warriors... first thing i always ask myself when playing against the 'crons is, "where's the small, easy to kill in one turn 'necron' unit/s?". 3 destroyer are easy even for templars to gun down. once that last one dies, none of them can attempt their "we'll be back" rolls. it's easy kills like that which will lose you the game!
put those pts into say, a viel of darkness for your lord and start teleporting him about the board along with a squad of warriors! always good fun for getting the templars running about in every direction!

cheers!

problem is pts. if i drop the scarabs i can only affors to ad 1 destroyer and 2 warriors, if i drop the destroyers i cant ad another squad of warriors, but can bolster the 3 squads with 8 more warriors. what do you think?

[Word Bearer 81007]

bring more warriors anything to prevent phase out is very important.

[God_Grinder]

woohoo, i won, but barley, jimmy wasnt ther so i didnt get to face the templars, so i challenged walkers eldar insted. i did well in the first 2 rounds till he was able to get his howling banchies and specal char model into CC. things wher still ok till his specal char tore up my lord and he failed his WBB, by by resorb, so the banchies power weps started realy hurting thogh the first squad they tore threw almost all stood back up and joind the 3rd squad to bolster the #'s. thta squad was then able to hold out and eventualy take out the banchies. all in all it came down to the very last combat of the last round. i had 2 scoring units in place, he ad non. his only hope was to make me phase. i stayed by 1 model. and won.im glad i won the roll for first turn but let him start off. all in all a very fun return to the gaming table. thoug i will say i almost made a few greavus misstakes that he was cool enough to point out the follies cause he knew it was my first battle in foreve and wanted it to be fun, and it was.

Nice job on winning your first fight!

I felt good about mine too, and it will be even better once you rip up the Marine boys
