I've been toying with a few different 1000 point lists for the tournament, and so far this is my favorite one. Any feedback or suggestions you have are welcome. I think overall its pretty solid, but its not very fast/meneuverable, which can be an issue for grabbing objectives. But its durable AF, and can take anything in the game thanks to Gauss auto wounding/glancing on 6s.
Necron CAD 1000 points
HQ:
Destroyer Lord - warscythe, nightmare shroud, phase shifter, phylactery
Orikan the Diviner
Troops:
10 Warriors
10 Warriors
5 Immortals - tesla
5 Immortals - tesla
Fast Attack:
3 Destroyers
3 Destroyers
The whole list is infantry, so can score in the tournament setup, and the 4 troop units are objective secured. The destroyers can deep strike for mobility, or can jump shoot jump with their jet packs to get around the board. And Orikan + the Destroyer Lord make a neat little deathstar, where Orikan gives rerolls to saves and gives +1 to reanimation protocols - giving the destroyer lord a 2+ rerollable with a 4+ inuln and a 4+ reanimation protocol on T6. Against anything but massed AP2, he can take an extreme beating.
Might be worth dropping Orikan and taking another 3 destroyers, or dropping the immortals and adding in some praetorians or a ghost ark. Less scoring ability, but more mobility and some more gauss to handle every threat on the board.

Can you write in point cost?

If you want the 4+ reanimation, you could also switch out orikan for a normal crypts. Those deepstriking destroyers are key, cause otherwise you don't have much mobility.
And Id also consider a lychguard + orikan/cryptek deathstar for that T5 3++,4+++ goodness

This may also be one of the few times Praetorians could be of much value. T5 Jump Infantry are pretty fast and durable. It's also a reliable source of AP 2.

Will you're right on the money, that's exactly what I'm thinking. I don't want to build my lychguard as praetorians in general, but for this it may be a great choice. If I did go with lychguard, there's a 90% chance I'd go with the warscythes, since S6 AP2 is just...amazing, even if it IS at I2.

Picked up some Praetorians, going to try out a new list this week. Very excited, I love the praetorian models and the fluff is so cool - and I need some AP2 in this army, that's for sure!
Necron CAD:
HQ:
Cryptek - solar staff- 80
Overlord - veil of darkness, mindshackle scarabs, phase shifter (warlord)- 160
Elite:
5 triarch praetorians (rod of covenant)- 140
Troops:
10 warriors- 130
10 warriors- 130
Fast Attack:
3 destroyers- 120
3 destroyers- 120
3 destroyers- 120

With the downgrade in table size to 4'x4' I think those Praetorians are going to really earn their points. |

And with the overlord and cryptek with them, its a nice mini-deathstar that can, on turn 1, Deepstrike across the board to anywhere I need them, and then pop the Solar Staff so my opponent has to snap shot at the unit before I charge in on my following turn. Alternatively the entire unit can deep strike (sans cryptek) if the terrain/my opponent should call for it. So the options I have just feel good for this type of game set up.
Plus I can't wait to paint these damn praetorians, they're so freaking cool. The only question is, do I stick to the "gold and silver" theme since technically triarchs don't realy "belong" to the various dynasties? Or do I paint them in the red/white of my dynasty to keep the visuals similar?

Or do I paint them in the red/white of my dynasty to keep the visuals similar? This is a quote from the Dynastic Heraldry section of the Necron Codex: "Triarch Praetorians usually bear the dynastic colours of the tomb world they attend, although some battalions wear ancestral colours associated with the rule of the Triarch." With that said, it seems like your free to paint them however and still be fluffy. Personally, I like the look of the red a lot and recommend keeping the scheme. |

Good eye will! Red it is.
Also if I drop 1 destroyer (so 2 units of 3 and 1 unit of 2) I can upgrade the overlord to a destroyer lord.
40 point switch = -1 WS/BS but +1T, Preffered Enemy and IWND. Worth it? I think PE praetorians with their ap2 guns is better than an extra destroyer frankly, since thier job is more to deepstrike onto objectives late game while the praetorians are designed to put out the hurt.
