1750 necrons: flyers, zandrek, and arks o my

[madival]

40K Army: Necrons

Ok, so seeing as how my past list has had the problem of flyers, I came to an idea. Splitting a squad of warriors in half, dropping their ghost ark and a doomsday ark (3 was to wonky as 2 fit nicely in each quarter) and buy 3 night scythes. Tell me what you think

Zandrek

Despair tek (with deathmarks)

5 deathmarks with night scythe (invasion beam them next to marked Target)

5 deathmarks with night scythe

Troops

10 warriors, ghost ark

8 warriors ghost ark

10 warriors with night scythe

Heavy

Doomsday ark

Doomsday ark


Over, the list is a lot more solid and can hurt people a lot more. Zandrek is vital because I don't want a barge lord. Slay the warlord is vital as is first blood. I run a solar pulse in order to get rid of night fight, not to induce it. I have won games by that solar pulse and zandreks tactics so they stay. What do you guys think ? Still have 4 av 13 vehicles and the flyers are often harder to kill.

You know how I feel about doomsday arks, and I think the list has ample horde killing power (in my mind making the large blasts less of a priority) and I'd suggest a pair of Doomscythes.

Is your plan for dealing with heavy vehicles the pair of pie plates and HP stripping through gauss?

Regardless of how you feel about the D-arks, I'd highly recommend splitting the deathmarks in half, and giving a warrior scythe to them. That gives you TWO targets to mark while still retaining their mobility and killyness.
Beyond that I like the list a ton and think it'll do well with whatever decisions you make.

If I do, I will have to buy a second Despair harbinger, but I would drop the viel. double despairteks would rock peoples earth. I did the math and I can do that. I never thought of that.

Forgive, but I've been through the necron codex like a dozen times - what the heck does invasion beam refer to?

[madival]

Its in the faq I believe. Night scythes cant hover so they have to drop people along the line they moved. Fly over a marked target and drop then off for death

Now I expect to see tons of battle reports!

I personally don't think going out and getting more than 3 flyers is sensible at the moment. Sooner or later GW will add a lot more AA into the game through new releases, allowing access to flakk missiles or just giving Skyfire to more units. Thus my necron list I currently run at 1750 has 3 flyers in it.

I have had great success with Annihilation Barges and think if you got rid of 1 Doomsday ark and put 2 Barges in you will have some luck. As already pointed out I believe you already have enough anti horde so the annihilation barge has anti flyer capabilities (Twin Linked AND Tesla) whilst also being able to rip light armour transports left right and centre.

A unit that begins its movement phase embarked on a NS may disembark before or after the vehile has moved (you have to move less than 36") If you move more than 24 the unit can only snapfire once disembarked.
