(figures I'd decide on a list I want to play and still have to buy $300 worth of freakin models!!!!)

lol... was looking on "YTTH" website... apparently this army theme makes me an idiot...

the article is entitled "wraiths + destroyer lord = idiot"

apparently the loss of wraithflight bonus doesn't equal out adding a warscythe toting, 2+ save independent character who mitigates the biggest flaw of wraiths in the insta-death rule...

of course that guy hates wraiths anyways, and thinks the necron army is terrible and non-competitive, so I really shouldn't expect anything else

wow some people. I like the list, I see you have some tesla in there which I like. I always liked the tesla rules.

[Jack Shrapnel]

The one thing I'm kind of "meh" about is the stalkers...

I like the models... and the concept is cool... but kind of seems like an expensive open topped walker that will die a horrible death to the first high strength weapon that points at it (one gun + open topped doesn't give a whole lot of damage results that aren't really, really bad!)

another option would be starting off with 2 more scarabs and a C'tan with whirling worldscape and gaze of death... at least the C'Tan would take four shots to kill instead of two... lol.... but I think it might lower my anti-tank to some pretty abysmal numbers...

[LizardTau]

your destroyer lords can mess up many vehicles in close combat, you could always take the tesla from the one immortals unit and put more gauss

[Frosty the Pirate]

I'm thinking you might want some extra scarabs, it wouldn't take too many str 6 shots to wipe them and that could easily leave you without any scarab farm if you don't get first turn. Especially since you've got good mid strength gun denial with QS and lots of bodies

As cool as the stalkers are, as soon as you get into melta range or run into a list with a fair amount of str 8 at range (SW, GK, Guard) those stalker's won't last to get into combat. A single pen damage roll is a 2+ to reduce it from a threat to an annoyance.

As an added note, I don't know all that much about necrons, but I know enough that anyone saying wraiths are bad isn't worth my time to insult.
