750 pts vs necrons

[disband85]

For anyone that saw my previous post, I bought a Tervigon to include in my list. For anyone that didn't - this Sunday I'm versing my friend (necrons) in my first ever 40k battle to learn the ropes. This is also his first 6th ed game (he hasn't played for about a year).

This is the army he is fielding:


Necron Overload - 215 (Phylactery, Sempiternal Weave, Phase Shifter, Tesseract Labyrinth, Resurrection orb) (also, staff of light and hyperphase sword are interchangeable, not sure what I'd use)
9 Warriors - 117
9 Immortals - 153
10 flayed ones - 130
3 Wraiths - 135 (Whip Coils)


This is the list I've come up with, taking people's advice from the previous post and including my new Tervigon:

HQ
hive tyrant /w TL devourers BL worms - 185

Troops
3x warrior - 90
1x tervigon, catalyst, toxin - 185
10x genestealer - 140
12x termagant - 60
15x hormagaunt - 90


Any advice on what I should change is welcome.

Your list is pretty solid as it is. If you are going to make it 1000 pts. I'd reccomend making your tyrant into a swarmlord. Very much worth the points! Also a Trygon Or a zoanthrope or two would be great! Also see if you can get your hands on a spore!

So I played my first game. My friend ended up bringing a completely different army - overlord, immortals, destroyers and heavy destroyers. I won but only just.... had my tervigon hanging onto an objective with 1 wound left.

Good job man! Any highlight unit performances?

[disband85]

I think my Tervigon saved the day. Despite not entering combat or shooting for the whole game, the fact that he has 6 wounds enabled him to hold onto my objective for the entire game. He also spawned 20 termagants before rolling doubles.

My hive tyrant and genestealers were the first to die, the stealers never got into combat. The hormagaunts and termagants did well, doing most of the killing. The warriors did ok when I finally got them into combat (they had a long run through difficult terrain).

What psychic powers did you use on the Tervigon?

[disband85]

haha i forgot all about psychic powers. As I said it was my first game, I was just trying to keep up with what was going on moving / shooting / combat wise. I think it was in turn 2 when I realised I hadn't chosen any powers for my hive tyrant lol...

[mash]

Genestealers being killed before they do anything. Sounds familiar. Honestly I'm starting to think they aren't worth the points. Next list you do think what you could get instead of the points. Gargoyles are looking good...

[disband85]

Unfortunately I don't have any gargoyles yet, I only have a battle force, hive tyrant and tervigon. I'm going to my GW on Sunday to play my second game, will probably use the same list and see if the genestealers are more useful this time.
