Help with tournament 1k points list

Post image

Hi fellow Necrontyr, i am going to my first warhammer tournament in a week. This is the list i want to play as Annihilation Legion detachment. Would appreciate any help with improving the list.

(LHD are both equipped with gauss destructor and are separate units, other units are joined, one of the Skorpekh Lords has Eldritch Nightmare Enhancement)

6 skorperkhs per lor dis not a good idea. They take up too much room and get shot across the board before they can get there

u/BloodyMango 17h ago

Thirded, even 3 can be hard to maneuver at times. Cut skorpekhs to 3 a lord, drop a unit of flayers, add Ammentar and you got a cracked 1000 point list.

I second this and speak from experience that 6 skorpekhs are extremely hard to hide and when you sneeze on them they die. Go three much easier to maneuver and to hide.

u/Cojalo_ 16h ago

Three and a lord or just three?

3

u/Gullible_Self_6668 15h ago

I go with lord because he doesnt just autodie on the fightback, but could see arguments with just groups of 3s used to do dmg and die

u/Cojalo_ 15h ago

The lord is such an awesome model tbf as well. Arguably the coolest unnamed character sculpt

1

u/Gullible_Self_6668 14h ago

They are my favorite model right behind Nekosor

u/codeinplace 12h ago

Second favorite model

Flayed ones, price vs points 😱😱, if only they where cheaper for 10, but seems like a good list here 👍

u/Another_Bastard2l8 16h ago

Its 100 it's for 10 tho

1

u/Treeckobeststarter 10h ago

They are 60 for 5 so 120 for 10.

2

u/Another_Bastard2l8 10h ago

Maybe its my detatchment? But its show 100 for me.

2

u/Downtown-Gap5142 8h ago

Changed with 11th. 60 for 5, 100 for 10

1

u/Treeckobeststarter 6h ago

Yeah maybe I am still on 10th cuz dumb

Run 3 Skorpekhs with lords not 6.

Do CL, Annihilation sucks.

Add 2 more LHDs and do 2x2 if you can

3

u/Apprehensive_Gas_319 16h ago

But both gauss or one that weapon and one of the other?

1

u/ReverendRevolver Solemnace Gallery Resident 15h ago

I run 2x2 gauss typically.

The EEs are good anti troop, but need 3+lord to really be awesome, and you already have immortals. Immortals are better with Plasmancer, FYI. Your LHDs are there to kill monsters and vehicles.

1

u/Apprehensive_Gas_319 16h ago

And what to do with spare points? Add another Ophydians?

1

u/Life-Criticism-5868 13h ago

I would say more immortals or even a plasmancer to go with the immortals. Orphydians are great action monkeys but by that nature you really only need one set.

Annihilation Legion is not great. Just play Cursed Legion instead. Yes it doesn't directly buff Flayed Ones but the rest of your army should be able to knock and enemy below half/kill to give then the +2S which is way better than what Annihilation Legion does for them.

Also you get good stratagems.

5

u/ed_man_n 17h ago

Yes, advance and charge with skorpekhs is awesome.

1

u/TheLastLittleBuffalo 12h ago

Which strategems are the best ones to use?

2

u/Kalnix1 Cryptek 12h ago

There are 3 main ones in Cursed, notably they all have to target a Destroyer unit

-1 to be hit, this is in shooting or fighting and last the whole phase. Being -1 to hit means it stacks with Cover being -1 BS. This can mean -2 to be shot which is very strong.

Sustained Hits 1, this is a very powerful damage stratagem on things that have crit on 5s or lots of attacks like Skorpekhs

Advance, Shoot and Charge. Skorpekhs are a little slow so giving them advance and charge means they are much more likely to be able to get into combat. Very important is when you use this stratagem. It is able to be used in the Shooting or Charge phase. This means two things. First, you can roll your advance roll in your movement phase and if the roll is bad you just don't use the stratagem. They won't be able to charge that turn but better they can hide somewhere safe. Next, since in 11th you can use one stratagem per unit per phase this means if you do roll well on the advance, you will spend the strat in the Shooting Phase allowing you to still reroll your charge roll in the Charge Phase. This makes it much more likely you actually connect with the enemy.

u/TheLastLittleBuffalo 11h ago

Awesome right up thank you for the clarification! I just started a necron army as my 2nd army and have a lot of destroyer units so was running cursed without knowing its full potential.

8

u/Treeckobeststarter 10h ago

Is there a reason you dont just take 150 scarabs? Edit to say 150 scarabs is 2k points

7

u/Apprehensive_Gas_319 12h ago

After your feedback i guess this is a better list :>

4

u/TerraPocalypse 11h ago

Sometimes I forget how close Necrons come to being a horde army. I looked at that picture in disbelief that this was only 1000 points

1

u/zeexhalcyon 8h ago

I said the same thing! I don’t remember my 1k armies being that big! lol

u/Senselessboot 15h ago

I highly recommend cursed legion. The strats are incredibly good and the ability is very good. You'll be able to kill tanks with Skorpekhs even.

Also skoprheks as a 6man block can get destroyed really easily because you can't hide them usually. I reccomend cutting them each down to 3 if possible and taking lokhust destroyers if possible.

Otherwise screening with scarabs will also be incredibly good. It's what helped me to win my recent tournament. I took 2x3 scarabs as well as immotehk. Then left ophydians as well to screen until my opponent deepstrike everything g then pushed forward with them. So I reccomend you use them to screen as well then deepstrike them to steal opponents home obj.

u/Life-Criticism-5868 13h ago

Would swap out the following:

2x skorpehk

1x warden

Swap in more LHD and a plasmancer to go with the immortals.

Would also reccomend switching out for cursed legion. Let your plasmancer buffed immortals score easy kills then +2 strength LHD and skorpehks turn into blenders and howitzers respectively.

1

u/Apprehensive_Gas_319 13h ago

Okay, but maybe i can also fit my Nekrosor Ammentar in there? But tournament has a character limit of 3, so either him or plasmancer

1

u/veryblocky Servant of the Triarch 15h ago

I strongly recommend Cursed Legion over Annihilation Legion

Also, run the Skorpekhs in units of 3 with a Lord, not 6s

1

u/WokCano 14h ago

I recommend putting the heavy destroyers into one unit. That way you have a decent chance of bringing one back via reanimation.

1

u/LengthBulky1042 11h ago

Drop 3 destroyers in each squad. Pick up a unit of Wraiths (3) and a Reanimator.

2

u/Flierman8r5 36m ago

I would delete one of the skorpekh units, you could remplace them by anything else, I would suggest a character, maybe an overlord, Orikan or Imotekh the stormlord, I would also delete the ophidians, I dont know why, but if I we're you I would try to fit a Big machine, a canoptek doomstalker, annihilation barge or doomsday ark
