Battling Necrons

Tomorrow it's again against my usual Necron opponent. We play random missions out of the rulebook

His list (as far as I remember)
2 Lords (one with mindcontrolling scarabs, 2x Night combat)
6 Cryptek (all equipped with those antimech-weapons)
10 Necron Warriors (gauss rifles)
2x 5 Immortals (assault weapons)
8 bases of scarabs
2x 6 Wraiths (each with 3 wound groups (sp?): 4 give enemy Ini1, 1 has a gun, 1 has no equipment)
3 Annihilation Barges


My list:
Archon (Blaster, Shadowfield, VB)l
Haem (WWP)
Haem (VB)

4 TB (2 DL)
3 TB (3 Blaster) Venom (2 SC) <- Archons ride

5 Warriors (Blaster) venom (2 SC)
5 Warriors (Blaster) venom (2 SC)
9 Warriors (Blaster) Raider (Dissie, FF)
20 Warriors (2 SC, Sybarite)
10 Wyches (Heka (Agonizer), 2x S+I) <- Haem (VB) joins here
3 Wracks venom (2 SC) <- Portal delivering unit

3 RJB (Heatlance)
3 RJB (Heatlance)
2 Beastmaster (5 Khymaera, 1 Razorwing)

2x Ravager (3 DL, FF)

Target priority: Wraiths, Lords, Barges, Immortals

My plan: Poison him and bind his Wraiths with my wyches.
Drop portal in front of his Wraiths, slow one unit with Wyches and Beasts, splinter the other wraith-unit into oblivion. Loose combat and shoot the wraiths next turn.
Archon and his TB try to instakill Wraiths + Immortals + Cryptek + Lords
RJB and Ravagers go Barge-hunting, then turn his immortals into scrap metal.
I try to never ever assault his Commandsquad of 2 Lords, 2 Cryptek + 5 Immortals - those damned mind scarabs killed more of my troops than his Lords.


Any suggestions? Any bad combos? Any other Ideas against those Wraiths?

First off, only crypteks can get solar pulses (the night fighting thing) Also your whole battle plan depends on a few things.

First off you dont have the speed nor the manuverablility to challenge him that way, and his shooting base in the forms of the warriors and Telsa Immortals (no matter how small) will be better than your warriors. Your best bet is to just pick the highest shooting potential out there (barges, Crypteks if all together, Immortals) and take them out first.

As to deal with the Wraiths, your best bet is to tie one up with the wyches, and then shoot the other one off the map. Dont waste dark lance fire, as while it will ID them, they have a 3++, just splinter them to death and call it a day.

This game shouldnt be hard, but your really restricted with your options due to the lack of transports.

Those 5 Transports are all I got right now. But I get myself another Raider next month.

As for speed and maneuvrability: How about dropping Archon + DL-TB for Sliscus and some Splinterborn in a venom (swapped from the Blasterborn - they are able to get thru the portal to hunt barges/Immortals/ whatsoever)

As I am not able to field more Venoms/Raiders, I try this:

Sliscus
Haem (VB, WWP)
Haem (VB)

4 TB (2 Scarbine, 2 SC) Venom (2 SC) <- Archons ride
3 TB (3 Blaster)

5 Warriors (Blaster) venom (2 SC)
5 Warriors (Blaster) venom (2 SC)
10 Warriors (SC, Blaster) Raider (Dissie, FF)
16 Warriors (1 SC, Sybarite) <- Portal
10 Wyches (Heka (Agonizer), 2x S+I) <- Portal / Haem (VB) joins here
3 Wracks venom (2 SC) <- Haem (WWP) in here

3 RJB (Heatlance) <- Portal
3 RJB (Heatlance) <- Portal
2 Beastmaster (5 Khymaera, 1 Razorwing) <- Portal

2x Ravager (3 DL, FF)



Last games 2 Crypteks joined each Immortal + Warrior unit.
