Necron Lord
Equipment: destroyer body, res orb, phylacter

Troops

Warrior x 13

Elites
Immortal x 10

Flayed One x 5

Fast Attack
Wraith x 3

Destroyer x 4

Total Pts:1983
Total Necrons:53

This looks a lot like my friend's Necron list. However, he has a higher warrior count for phase out reasons. Take a look at your army and if you think you are overdoing in certain areas, swap out for more warriors. Don't take this advice to seriously though, I only play against him.

5 flayed ones will render .. possibly useless, so small size.. could tie up things but.... its so small.

Wraiths.. aren't strong either, very fragile, and exspensive, I would not invest points into them.

If anything, I would load up on more flayed ones to make 10x.

Wraiths won't do anything for you really. The destroyer lord - yes he can go with wraiths but... hes not that great either. I would scrap him for a 2nd foot lord or maybe you dont even need that.

I would crank out more warriors, start looking into scarabs for CC fodder and tieing up things. and/or a few heavy destroyers to do more gunning.

Necrons really need to have long range gunning, and bodies.

this is my 2cents.

Suggested NECRON LIST. (This list still has variety, and bodies)

Hvy Dest.

NECRON LIST 2 (Hm I was powering up for the 20x immortals hah)

hmmm......ill take these into consideration and try and work out something new. but just a question, wouldnt i want a lord up with my destroyers? that's what i originally it for, not my wraiths like you though. just thought it would be good to have a lord up there with the destroyer squads. ill post a new army list for review once i work it out.

Why would you need them? They are toughness 5, so only the really str 10 railguns would render WBB useless correct?

Thats my 2 cents, i wouldn't spend 350 pts + on strictly 2 hq's when with an army size small.

ikky makes good points, you definatly need more warriors . and scarabs are worth ther weight in gold if you can keep them from getting templated first turn, i never really bother with the flayed ones cause i realise cc is not realy my armies strong point and i usualy use tomb spiders for my cc protection. i personaly like the wraiths but if you are gonna use em you need atleast 6. 3+invull is nice. but definatly not the flayed ones and the wraiths in the same list. atleast the wraiths count tward your phase. yeah i made the mistake of sticking a destroyer lord with my destroyers(useless). but realise ther pritty long range so you realy arnt gonna go advancing them very far anyway. i would bump up the destroyers to 1 squad of 5. then atleast 1 pack of 10 scarabs. possably 2 they tie up units in cc forever and they cut threw tanks like butter. many a times i have destroyed the approching tank full of troops on the first turn. i tend to like giving my aponent first turn just for this reason. just make sure you give them the disruption field.
perhaps try:

lord resorb, phalactory,

10x warriors
10x warriors
10x warroirs
10x warriors

2x tomb spiders

5x desroyers

10x scarabs
10x scarabs
and depanding on points
10x immortals or
a monolith

i dont have dex with me to work out points but should be in the 2k ballpark.

THe true bread and butter of any necron force is all on the warriors. Speaking from experience, it is usually a very bade idea to go charging into an 1850 pt game or higher without at least 50 warriors to keep model count high. Also, while destroyers are amazingly fantastic, dont go overboard on them. One squad of five would be a better bet. I prefer flayed ones over wraiths for the model count, but if you choose wraiths drop the flayed ones for now.

The advice about scarabs is right on the money, just remember to give them d-fields for tank hunting and you will always come out decent in any situation, either by tank hunting, tearing up infantry, or bogging down heavy firepower units for several turns.
