Hi All

I am new to the necrons, and picked up a codex recently and made the following list. I would like your thoughts and opinions.
(also I don't much necron terminology yet so bare with me for the long descriptions, Thanks)

Overlord - Warscythe, Res orb, Phase shifter, MSS and tachyon arrow
Royal Court;Necron lord - warscythe & res orb x4 (these will join the immortals)
3 Crypteks of destruction, and a cryptek of Eternity with chronmetron and storm with lightning field.
A normal lord just as a ablative wound

Immortals x10
Immortals x10
Immortals x10
Immortals x10

Destroyers x5
Destroyers x5
Heavy Destroyers x3

Thank you for your time everyone :)

The base of the list is good as you have a lot of scoring units, and the orb lords to help them survive. Lots of shooting at 24”, two units shooting at 36”.

The mobile destroyer groups can help you hunt down the enemy scoring units, ideal for objective games, but two groups is kinda pricey

You can remove one destroyer group and have the points for two annihilation barges, with 20 points to spare. They would actually help in the one aspect your list is weak: anti-air. With the tesla effect + twin-link, annihilation barges are good against flyers for the points. And they can efficiently shoot anything else. Improving the anti-air and general army mobility even more would be to put one group of immortals in a nightscythe. (one scythe+1 barge+10 spare points for the price of a destroyer group)

For overlord, I put sempiternal weave before phase shifter, unless you have a good idea of the opposing list. I have almost always relied on look-out-sir to deal with low AP shots against the overlord.
You could put some cheap sempiternal weave on 1-2 lords for the squads that will move upfield the most. Does your overlord go with the unassigned portion of the court? (harbingers) ; with MSS and lightning field, it is less likely that your opponent will charge that unit

Drop the Tachyon Arrow-it's too pricey for a single shot. The above post sums up my other points, though I'd try and squeeze some scarabs (150 pts for 10 bases) if you have the room.
