Bleh, I ment WoN or Without number.
The Tyrant dosen't really need an escort, That build is amazing. I used a simmular build to have one singlehandedly knock out around half of Neruz'z tosters in a 1000pt game.

I think you won't have many points left to get more, as crushing claws are 35 points, But If you can, Wing the rippers.

Never EVER put a seeker missile on a pirahna.
Get a hammerhead instead, And give it the missiles.
Otherwise, You'll just be wasting points.

You need WAY more troops.
Same thing with the missiles,  Try to get a squad of pathfinders instaed and use theier transport.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE PLASMA RIFLES.
Try out burst cannons, They are really cost efficient.

I have two 500 pt armies, and 4 750 pt Armies - What I want to use them for is noted above the army list. Any criticisms?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

500 pt Armies:

Basic Infantry Army:
Necron Lord w/ Resurrection Orb -140 pts
2 10 strong Necron Warrior Squads - 360 pts
-500pts

Anti-Vehicle Infantry Army:
Necron Lord - 100 pts
2 10 Strong Necron Warrior Squads w/ Disruption Field - 400 pts
-500pts

750 pt Armies:

Necron Lord Support with Anti-Vehicle Infantry
Necron lord w/ Resurrection Orb, Phase Shifter, Phylactery, Disruption Field 190 pts
2 10 Strong Necron Warrior Squads -360 pts
1 10 Strong Necron Warrior Squad w/ Disruption Field - 200 pts
-750 pts

Heavy Vehicle Support Army
Necron Lord w/Resurrection Orb, Phylactery -155 pts
2 10 Strong Necron Warrior Squads -360 pts
1 Necron Monolith -235 points
-750 pts

Monstrous Creature Support Army
Necron Lord w/Ressurection Orb, Phase Shifter,Phylactery - 185pts
2 10 Strong Necron Warrior Squads w/Disruption Fields - 400 pts
3 Tomb Spyders w/Particle Projectors - 165pts
-750 pts

Fast Attack Support Army
Necron Lord w/Resurrection Orb - 140 pts
2 10 Strong Necron Warrior Squads -360 pts
5 Strong Squadron of Destroyers - 250 pts
-750 pts

I'm not sure if having such specialised armies is a good idea, and I'm not sure about the effectiveness of Disruption Field on Necron Warriors or Particle Projectors on my Tomb Spyders is a good idea.

Actually your Devourers did very little, it was the melee attacks that ate me.

Devourers are great against low armour targets, but pretty worthless against tougher, high armour targets like Toasters.

[Jackrabbit]

MagmaDeath I love you in a totally platonic way.

It's just hit me that a 1000 point IG army is going to be huge.

Unless I spend 500 points on tanks.

[3]

I had an idea for an IG army once.

Conscripts. Tons of conscripts, some Leman Russ tanks, and maybe some artillery. Providing you could get them all on the board, it'd be virtually unstoppable, at least so long as the opponent hasn't decided to take 3+ Monoliths or something.

Now tell me why this wouldn't work.

[zchris13]

THE DICE.  SO MANY DICE.

[Jackrabbit]

Well, I'm still pretty new at this, but if they fielded an immensely close combat orientated and included some heavy artillery, your conscripts would barely get a shot off and it'd be a shoot up between your big guns and his.

Unless you're playing Space Marines or something. Then you might be in trouble.

Unless I spend 500 points on tanks.

Which is kind of what you should be doing.

Blast weapons.

The fact that Cthulhu's demon blade gives him +2d6 attacks.

They might get three attacks in melee when charging, but will suck if you failed to roll a 5-6 for each squad at the beginning of the game.

Heh. Yeah, I guess. Might ditch a heavy weapons squad for more better tanks.
