Now, I won't be building a Necron army any time soon (you can calm down ;P) or atleast not until i finish building & painting space elves to 1500. But I couldn't help but to write up an army list for this extremely unique codex.
Here are my rules: Has to use Anrakyr The Traveller
It has to use the availible models
It has to be a foot list (I've got enough skimmers)
The reason I've chosen the traveller is simply because of his insanely fun power of controlling an enemy's tank, now I still need a way to deliver him close to use his ability without any transports. I can do this by joining him to a lychguard squad with an accompanied Viel of darkness cryptek so I can teleport anytime needed, giving the whole squad warscythes will ensure I blow up any tank after controlling it and still retains anti-infantry combat prowess with the crypteks flamer.
Anrakyr-165, Harbinger of despair Cryptek with viel of darkness-60, 5x Lychguard-200
Pretty expensive start, but if used well it can cause army wide mayhem. The traveller gives a nice little bonus of buffing up an Immortal squad with counter attack and furious charge, making them really good mid-fielders. let's take advantage of that. While we're at it we'll establish a scoring base with more Immortals that can be bumbed down to warriors if needed.
10x Immortals-170, 3x5x Immortals-255 (tesla carbines on all of them)
Now to take some pressure off the mini deathstar unit we'll get a big squad of Scarabs running up straight to the foe to eat away at armour and tie up infantry. Being beasts that throw down 50 attacks they are probably the most destructive unit in the entire codex so yes please! We're at exactly 1000 points. Let's add some long range firepower and since we can't use tanks we're limited to Heavy Destroyers, yes they are way to expensive and really fragile but they still have uses, just keep them in cover and keep pressure with scarabs and lychguard.
10x Canoptek Scarabs-150, 2x3x Heavy Destroyers-360
Those small Immortal squads look pretty awkward just holding objectives and shooting whatever passes by, so lets buff it up with Crypteks with the str 8 weapons. We can now get a Solar Flare a.k.a the best wargear in the codex, the reason for this is that the night fighting allows you to get the alpha strike on your opponent going first or second as well as protecting your troops for a turn.
3x Harbinger of destruction Crypteks, 1x Solar Flare-125
So we end up with:
Anrakyr The Traveller - 165
Royal court: 4x Crypteks, 1xDespair w/ VoD, 3xDestruction w/ SF - 180
5x Lyguard, warscythes - 200
10x Immortals, Tesla, Pyrrhian Eternals - 170
5x Immortals, Tesla - 85
5x Immortals, Tesla - 85
5x Immortals, Tesla - 85
10x Canoptek Scarabs - 150
3x Heavy destroyers - 180
3x Heavy destroyers - 180
Total: 1485
