1500 points vs Necrons

[megadeth321]

HQ
Hive Tyrant - HC, 2 x TLD, Wings

Elites
2 Hive Guard
Doom of Malan'tai - Mycetic Spore
2 Zoanthropes - Mycetic Spore

Troops
Tervigon - TS, AG, CC, 3 Biomany Powers
Tervigon - TS, 2 Biomancy Powers
17 Termagants - Devourers, Mycetic Spore
10 Termagants

Fast Attack
20 Gargoyles - TS

My basic plan is to push my Gargoyles straight up and get into CC, the 10 Termagants will try to get a backfield objective whilst my least upgraded Tervigon advances with the Gargoyles. The Zoanthropes will take care of any vehicles as well as my Hivr Guard and the Doom will hopefully disrupt some units near to each other. And obviously my Tyrant will take care of any flyers. What do you think I should change? I'd really like to add Ymgarls but I'm not sure what to get rid of.

Anyone care to help?

Um I personally think your list looks pretty good the way it is. If you really wanted the Ymgarls I would either get rid of the doom because of how many Strength 8 shots some necron lists can dish out might make him fall flat on his face when he arrives, or the Zoanthropes because the Hive guard in my experience are more reliable light tank hunters. Do you know anything about the Necron player you are playing against?

list is good. go forth and slaughter.

What strength 8 shots would that be? Doomsday ark and Monolith both shoots strength 8+ shots blasts, so not 100% reliable. Tesla Destructor is S7. Tachyon Arrow is S10, but only one use from a character with that upgrade. Can't think of any else.

I've played against Necrons before and the Doom managed to take out 2 Wraiths and a whole Deathmark squad, just from the Spirit Leech ability. I agree about the Hive Guard, but he's more than likely going to use a Monolith, which with the Hive Guard is a struggle to take out since I need 6's. Whereas with the Zoanthropes, they have lance so it's glancing on 2's and penetrating hits on everything higher.

The Necron player likes to take Scarabs, which I can deal with easily with the Flyrant. He will bring Warriors, Immortals, probably a Doom Scythe - if that's what it's called, can't remember. Some sort of flying transport, Wraiths, Deathmark and maybe Lychguard. No idea about his HQ though.

It's been almost 24 hours, can someone at least help me?

your list is good, what do you need help with? if you're worried about monoliths, keep the codex powers on your podded zoanthropes and they'll make short work of them.
