Yet Another 1500 Point Necron List ...

Despite the lack of joy in the title I am enjoying writing these very much. I just assume you guys are sick of it by now.


Of all the lists I've been playing around with for this points level I think I like this one best as it has alot of guns that can hurt. Whether I'm right on that point remains to be seen but from what I gather I'm fairly confident this would do well. I'm not sure what it is though but I feel myself limited when writing 1500 point lists with these guys, it could possibly be that the things they do have are fairly expensive points wise. I think though that I have done a good job.

HQ


Overlord w/ Warscythe - 100

Command Barge - 80

Royal Court
Cryptek Harbringer of Destruction - Solar Pulse - 55
Cryptek Harbringer of Destruction - 35

Troops

Immortals x 10 - 170

Warriors x 9 -232 Ghost Ark

Immortals x 9 - 153


Fast Attack

3 x Heavy Destroyers - 185

9 x Scarabs - 135

Heavy Support

Annihilation Barge - 90

Annihilation Barge - 90

Doom Scythe - 175


I thought that I lacked ranged AT weaponry which is why I implemented the Doom Scythes and Heavy Destroyers. I really do like the look of the Doom Scythe and really look forward to playing with it, the Death Ray sounds silly but it also sounds fun. Tesla is one of my favourite things in the Codex so lots of that makes me very happy. The only other thing I may do with a list is trying to fit in a Monolith, sadly this may have to replace the Doom Scythe =[ unless you have advice on what I could do to fit it in?

If you have written lists I really want to see them so either post a link to where you have written them or just write them out in the comment section. It's not that I need inspiration I'm just really enjoying everyones different take on it.

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

  1. I think I am going to stick with this for 1750 points:

    2 x Overlord, Warscythe, Catacomb Command Barge
    Cryptek, HoD, Solar Pulse...55
    3 x Triarch Stalker
    3 x 5 Necron Warriors, Night Scythe
    2 x 4 Scarab Swarms
    3x Annihilation Barge

    Although after a suggestion from my mate Talos I want to test Anrakyr in the place of an Overlord (and use fewer Swarms). Sounds like a very fun and potent Special Character.

    For your list I am not sure what the footslogging Immortal could accomplish. Also heavy destroyers could be a risky to play but I guess with a Solar Pulse they will shot at least once before they die. I think 3 Heavy Destroyers would cost 180 points though and not 185 (what an odd number :P).

  2. I was thinking a very similar list but with only one Overlord. Night Scythe look really good to me and after a bit of discussion with a few people the Triarch Stalkers seem a great choice. They will destroy alot and also help to destroy alot =] I would possibly use The Stormlord in a list very similar to what you have written. You may have sparked some inspiration for me.

    The Destroyers must have been a typo which resulted in me messing up the list haha. Ah well back to the drawing board on that. The footslogging Immortals are a hang back unit to be honest. Although I may, after reading and talking a bit with other players, reduce my troops a little to have a better array of toys.

  3. Man, I desperately want to rock the Doomscythe, but I'm really uncomfortable with the lack of Quantum Shielding. Also, it's terribly expensive, and I shy away from high-points things. Personal preference.

    I'm not sure about those destroyers, though. That's a loooot of points for a single wound model. You're absolutely right that getting long range AT in there is key, but I can't help but feel like they're too little for too much.

    The Barges should be good against armor. Probably not going pop much, but it'll definitely Shake dang near anything you point it at, which is kindasortaalmost as good.

    I need to talk myself into trying the Doomsday Ark. It's super expensive, like the Doomscythe... but should be more durable.

  4. Inclined to agree with you, after much review I don't like the point sink of the Doomscythe. Same goes for the Destroyers.

    I played around with lists but I can up with this.
