Mostly looking at using the army hunt my opponent and make them move where I want them to, the crypteks and heavy destroyers can make life difficult for most things, especially things that are not too mobile.

Scarabs are there for late game tie up anything for a turn or two or go munch on a vee that I cant reach with my crypteks or destroyers.

The only other thing I could think off is drop one of the Overlords with barge for zendrekh to give me tank hunters on a heavy destroyer squad to allow it to more easily deal with AV 14.

Thoughts and opinions?

Looks good to me. I've noticed most people go hammer and tongs for Scarabs but the real strength of Necron Firepower is taking multiple Heavy Destroyers and obliterating enemy armour.

Not such a fan of Royal Courts as a unit but they are pretty good when played with the right theme.

My suggestions would be to drop the Mind Shackle Scarabs or the Scarabs to find points for 2 Solar Pulses. If you are going to try and out shoot an opponent, give yourself two turns as a head start.

I like it. It's scary.
