| Well... my friend's starting out necrons... so I'm helping him get his army together... here's a list we've come up with... HQ Necron Lord - Staff of Light, Phylactery, Rez Orb - 155 points Troops Warriors x10 -180pts Warriors x 10 - 180pts Warriors x 12 -216 pts Fast Attack Scarab Swarm x 5 - 60pts Scarab Swarm x 5 - 60pts Destoryers x 3 - 150pts total points - 1001pts Any suggestions or ideas... my friends on a limited budget, but necrons aren't to expesnive for their points... warriors are perhaps some of the best deals out there!

| If hes just going to be making the purchase then i would recommend the lord on destroyer body first. Its nice to get him where you want him on the field and the extra T is sweet. But a ton of warriors is perfect for starting out. I don't play necrons but my brother does and I have played vs it enough to know what scares me.

Blog Entries: 2 | Wait a minute.... i replied to this weeks ago... The list is nice it should work quite well in most cases ![]() Destroyers and Swarms bring about a little more mobility than necrons are known for.... but i still prefer Immortals (but that`s more a matter of personal preference since i got lots and lots of kills with my immortals )

| i love immortals, necrons were my first army. won my first rt with them as well. the only bad thing about immortals is they are expensive at 10$ each. but well worth it, especially if you plan on useing the teleporting necron lord then there really awesome.

| I recommend losing the Scarabs, anything that doesn't shoot in the Necron army really isn't worth it in the end. I know Scarabs are used to tie up tough units, etc., but a lord with a VoD and some more warriors or Immortals if you can swing it are way better than the Scarabs. I use a 1000pt list that has 2 squads of warriors (not Minimum size), a Lord with a VoD, 4 Destroyers and the balance made up of Immortals (7 I think). Total 997 or 992 pts. Works like a charm. In the end, get your buddy and play a few games with the list as is, then go over what would have been better: different units or different descisions.
