2000 points for a Necron Newbie

[TheBigC]

Hi there, I’m new to Necrons, and am trying to figure out a good list. I’m interested in any constructive criticism you can give me. Here’s the list:
HQ
Lord, Res Orb, Veil of Darkness
Lord, Res Orb, Phlactery

ELITE
Immortals x 10

TROOPS
Warriors x 10
Warriors x 10
Warriors x 10
Warriors x 10

FAST ATTACK
Destroyers x3
Destroyers x3
Destroyers x3

HEAVY SUPPORT
Heavy Destroyer
Heavy Destroyer
Heavy Destroyer
Total= 2000 even

Tactics are pretty basic, Warriors and the Phlactery Lord are a stable fire base, Veil Lord and Immortals teleport around causing headaches, while the regular and heavy Destroyers zoom around, threatening infantry and vehicles. What do you guys think? Any comments would be welcome. Thanks!

Overall, not too shabby. Most people put a C'Tan or Monolith in 2,000 points, but I think this list works nicely without them.

The only thing I'd change is the second lord. He seems to be an afterthought, and I can't help but think scrapping him for, say, a couple of Tomb Spyders would not be a bad idea. They'd serve as a good counter-charge unit, and they might help keep the warriors alive.

Otherwise, very nice. Go get 'em!

I'm confused. Are you fielding 1 unit of 3 heavy destroyers or 3 units of 1. Anyway, for my 2 cents I'll assume the former and not the latter.

This list sure can lay down alot of Dakka! and it has enough back bone to take the hits and keep on coming, not like most pansy destroyer lists with only 20 Warriors. I would just like to add with your tactics, to not zoom around with the heavy ds too much as they are very brittle and expensive thus making easy targets and dying easy.

Other than that I love it! Should I go phalanx? should I go Destroyer/Flying Circus? With this list you can do both.

So maybe change this list to:

HQ
Lord, Res Orb, Veil of Darkness

ELITE
Immortals x 10

TROOPS
Warriors x 10
Warriors x 10
Warriors x 10
Warriors x 10

FAST ATTACK
Destroyers x3
Destroyers x3
Destroyers x3

HEAVY SUPPORT
Heavy Destroyers x 3
Tomb Spyder
Tomb Spyder

Total= 1955

My initial thought is to keep the Spyders in separate units to watch the flanks of my army, have you guys found that they work better in a big unit? Also, any ideas what I can do with that remaining 45 points?

[visseking]

For one heavy slot you get 3 units of 1 tomb spyder each.

For your lord issue, i'd tell you to keep the other lord but scrap the resorb on the VoD-lord. And then keep out of the way of demolisher shells and railguns.

But that's just me...
