Necrons, any suggestions or experiences with/against them?

[Civik]

I'm looking to start up a necron army and already got the first box of warriors. Not too experienced with or against the army, but it looked like a challenge.

Anybody have any suggestions or more information on them? Already have their codex, just want to know if anyone has or has seen what works and what doesn't with the army list.

have lots or flayed ones and wraiths... kik some sm ass in combat!

[Majestyk]

nah, take the all warrior army. nothing can beat like 100 guys who refuse to die.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS take a resurrection orb on your Lords. ALWAYS. I cannot stress this enough.

Take as many Immortals as you can without depleting your army in other ways, and a Lord with Veil of Darkness. Just shoot away at the enemy, then teleport away if they charge you.

At least get one maximum strength Immortal squad.

Against them? Take lots of high S weapons and power HTH weapons. The Necrons suffer the same flaw of low numbers that the Marines do, except that the Necrons are terrible in hand-to-hand.

If you can consistently deny them of their shooting, you're on the right path.

well, doing a CC oriented necron army would definitely be a change. loads of wraiths and flayed ones.

or maybe a shooty army with a large amount of scarabs to tie down aforementioned enemy CC troops.

Stear clear of starcannons...

Pariahs are pretty good, bloody expensive but if you stick them with a combat tooled lord in the centre of your advancing line of metallic death then you can really mess with anyone's head.

first thing i think when i hear necrons is damn i hope they dont use those gauss rifles to full ability

second thing i think is i hope they dont have many scarabs

and third is
pleese dont let those flayed ones hit my guys too soon in the fight

so if you take all the things i dont like about fighting aganst them and do them theen people arent gonna win aganst you

clear as mud huh?

[SPOON!]

has anyone come up against the... big floaty temple thing (sorry cant for the life of me remember what it is :dunce:)

damn bastard to kill. only weapons good on that are wraith cannons which can use their special rule while no other weapon can ie. melta's or the rail gun for tau or other strength 10 weapon

the Wraith cannon rules

edit: remembered it now Monolith :dunce:

Keep an eye on the number of models with the necron special rule. The more you have of them the later your army will phase out.
(a small army I thought up just now)
Necron Lord: Resurrection Orb + Veil of Darkness & Warscythe
Necron Lord: Destroyer Body, Phylactery, Phase Shifter, Chronometron & Warscythe.

10 Flayed Ones with Disruption Fields.

3x 10 Necron Warriors

3 Destroyers

3 Heavy Destroyers

That is 1500 points. Very deadly, but weaker than a specialised army of necrons
