Quick thoughts.
Nightbringer - Is a beast, but I prefer Deceiver over him.
This was deliberate, I wanted some S9 shooty to supress LRs etc.
Lord - Put a destroyer body on him with a warscythe and run him around with some scarabs to soak up that 2+ cover save after turbo boosting.
Noted, I might try this.
Destroyers - Probably went down quick, because they are a nasty unit. Did you have 1 big squad or 2 smaller squads to help with WBB?
2 squads - 1 x 3, 1 x 2. Why? Because thats all I had! But still not sure I would use more within the points I had.
Warriors - 3 squads of 10. No reason to take 11, especially if you're filling points with scarabs already. Throw more destroyers on the table.
11 was points filling somewhat - I didn't have any more Destroyers!
Monolith - Really only need 1 unless you're playing 2k points.
We were! I usually play IG, these were great new tanks!
Spyders - Great on paper, but points could be used for destroyers.
A fair comment. The good on paper though, should translate if I can use them properly.
Fritz's Necron PDF - Bought it, worth the $10 just for some good tips. You could spend a lot of time searching the web for the tips, but they're right there in the PDF and he makes it easy for you by providing screen shots and discussing tactics in the PDF. If you're going to play crons, I'd suggest giving it a read.
I recently acquired a Necron force myself after having been facinated with them for quite some time. I played my first game last Friday, and beat a Tau player 14-0 in KP at the end of 6.
Just one beginners observations to another after a first game
. Sounds like you did a nice job, but I wouldn't count destroyers out. Free up some points and do 2 squads of 4 or 5 depending on the points you have available to you. I found them to be extremely effective.
