Turn 1 Necrons
Movement
Court Veils into striking distance, using chrono to reduce the scatter. Obyron follows after homing in on Nemesor. Nemesor gives Immortals tank hunter skill. Other forces advance.

Shooting
Court fires on dread and strip it of all its weapons and immobilizes it. Immortals immobilize a razorback. Destroyers stun 2x Predators.
Doh, forgot to take a pic.

Turn 1 Marines
Movement
Trying to be aggressive, move forward to rapid fire on court. I believe this was hoping for too much, and they should have stayed in their box.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...MarineMove.png

Shooting
Gun down a squad of destroyers and knock another off of the second squad. Shooting into the court produces tons of wounds, but between chorno armor reroll and great repair rolls, nothing died. Also, no results against the monolith.

Turn 2 Necrons
Movement
The DSing Doomscythe and two immortal teams come in. Gable the Doomscythe and it pays off with a hit. Monolith pulls the third squad of immortals out of reserves.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...NecronMove.png

Shooting
Court Annihilates the tac squad. Immortals take down the predator and the Doomscythe only manages to kill a razorback (even though it hit 4 tanks). Destroyers manage to keep other predator locked down.

Turn 2 Marines
Movement
1 speeder squad comes in. Try to maintain the line. Lone Razorback that lost it's squad tank shocks the court....and they break. Unfortunately only declared 6 inches because didn't expect it to work and wanted to shoot still.

Shooting
Doomscythe has to die, and it does so....but after way too many shots. Also, lone razorback drops the monolith with a well played lascannon.

Turn 3 Necrons
Movement
Court is still too close to razor and falls back further. Obyron and immortals position to make sure the razor dies this turn. Other forces continue to try to apply pressure.

Shooting
Shooting doesn't yield much this turn.

Assault
Obyron has to assault with immortals to finish off the razor. With tank hunters, it is easily done.

Turn 3 Marines
Movement
Remaining speeders arrive. It is looking grim for necrons
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...MarineMove.png

Shooting
Dumping an amazing amount of fire power only to yield 2 destroyers and 3 immortals T_T
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...neShooting.png

Turn 4 Necrons
Movement
Last doomscythe arrives and turbos onto the board to get the save and good positioning. Rally the court and obyrons squad keeps holding things down.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...NecronMove.png

Shooting
Continues to be very consistent. Yielding a dead razor and almost an entire tac squad
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...onShooting.png

Turn 4 Marines
Movement
Try and reform my lines and get some good shots on the Doomscythe to try and put it down fast.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...MarineMove.png

Shooting
WTF!?!? Thankfully managed to destroy the Doomscythes ray, but rest of the results were saved by cover or were shake results that living metal shook off
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...neShooting.png

Turn 5 Necrons
Movement
Obyron splits off to go for some juicy targets and get kill points. Court DS again and the chrono keeps them safe again, reducing a 6 + 2 scatter to a 1+2.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...NecronMove.png

Shooting
Court bags a speeder but not the entire squad. Same goes for the doomscythe. Immortals bag the last marine and the lone speeder for more kill points.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...onShooting.png

Assault
Obyron takes on a dread and chops it up
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ronassault.png

Turn 5 Marines
Movement
Speeders move flat out to get saves and stay alive. Position to kill obyron.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...MarineMove.png

Shooting
Again, some how obyron survives a metric ton of wounds. And only manage to stun the doomscythe 4 times.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ineAssault.png

Assault
Dread charges into the doomscythe....and some how kicks it out the sky.
Doh, forgot picture

GAME ENDS TURN 5 O_O
Necrons scored 8 kill points
Marines scored 6 kill points

Final Thoughts
Forgot to use Nemesors phase in during the game, but not sure how much would have changed. Necron side was seeing average dice and the marine side just couldn't kill doomscythes. Overally, I am very impressed at the Necrons ability to weather ranged fire power. This game my gambles payed off, and it shows what can be gained from them. But could have just as easily bit me in the ass, tis the fun of it. I believe I might drop one unit of destroyers for some scarabs, I believe they will go a long way to back up the court and obyron.

Disclaimer: In no way does this battle verify the quality of my list. This is merely a report.

Great match and nice way of showing a tactical view of the battle instead of pictures where you have no real idea of what;s going on. Shame about the first doomscythe only lasting 1 turn though. Congrats on the necron win, those meat bags didn't know what hit em.
