first nevron list 2000pts

I made the mistake of letting my girlfriend see pictures of necron painted pink.... Now I am the proud owner of a work in progress necron army.

So, I have been looking around for advise on how to play these metal men and found out that some people are finding the tricks. One in particular is the ctan with the withering worldscape and the shenanagains you can play with that.

So here is my first list

HQ1 Orikan the deviner
HQ2 Nemesor Zahndrekh
HQ2b Vanguard Obyron
HQ2c Royal court 5 Harbringer of transmogrification with tremmor staves

E1 C'tan shard with withering worldscape and swarm of spirit dust

T1 10 warriors
T2 10 warriors
T3 10 warriors
T4 10 warriors
T5 10 warriors

F1 10 Scarabs
F2 10 Scarabs
F3 10 Scarabs

Clocks in at 2000 points on the nose

The Harbringers all split to each warrior squads, Orikan, Nemesor and Vanguard each go to a warrior squad
The shard hides in whatever cover is available
The scarabs move toward the enemy as fast as possible trying to catch immobilised tanks or ones that are to scared to move.

There are one trick poney lists floating around, then there is this. (remember it is a Ward book) The way this works is the ctan makes all difficult terrain dangerous, then on turn one Okrin makes the entire enemy army move in difficult terrain on turn 1 (dangerous now) Then when they start coming forward the tremorstaves from the harbringers in every squad cause any enemy it hits to move as if in difficult terrain (again dangerous because of the shard)
What this will cause is the necrons will deploy in their deployment zone in cover and sit there. With the scarabs staying out so they can get the maximum distance and try and smash into a tank. The shard needs to survive so he will hide as best he can.
The newer mid range codexes that have come out recently will be really hurt by this as thier usual tactic of maneouver and fire is replaced by having their metal boxes stall out in the begining of the game and tip toeing around terrain.

Liek I said this list isnt optimised at all. This is just a fun one trick list to throw down if you really werent in the mood to roll dice that day. The enemy is going to be rolling alot more than your share of them for all those checks.
