    This or That? Necrons vs GK vs Chaos Marines 2000pts

    So I have an upcoming tourney (mostly casual players) and Ive narrowed it down to 3 lists. Looking for feed back as to which you feel is strongest/most fun to play, and any suggestions to fine tune them. Entry fee is $10 so its more bragging rights than anything else (but I am 2 time defending champ)

    List 1. The necrons. I dont have any of the fancy conversions to try out Nightscythes/Doomscythes, so Im going with the models I have. I also only own 1 Tomb Spyder, and 3 old school Wraiths so using them would be limited:

    HQ:
    Imotekh…225pts
    Nemesor Zahndrek…185pts

    Royal Court 1 (Stormlord)
    Cryptek #1…35pts (with immortals #2)
    - Harbringer of Destruction

    Cryptek #2…35pts (with immortals)
    - Harbringer of Destruction
    -
    Cryptek #3…35pts (With Lychguard)
    - Harbringer of Storm, Lightning Field

    Royal Court 2 (Zahndrek)
    Lord #1…60pts (With Lychguard)
    - Warscythe, MS Scarabs

    Cryptek #4…35pts (with warriors)
    - Harbringer of Storm, Lightning Field

    Troops:
    6 Immortals…85pts
    - Tesla Carbines

    6 Immortals…85pts
    - Tesla Carbines

    12 Warriors…156pts

    Fast:
    9 Scarabs…135pts
    1 Heavy Destroyer… 60pts
    1 Heavy Destroyer… 60pts

    Elite:
    7 Lychguard…315pts
    - Sword + Shield

    Heavy:
    Monolith…200pts
    Monolith…200pts
    Ann. Barge…90pts

    The Nemes Z/Lychguard Unit would be my deathstar, moving around as needed with Monolith Portals for fast deployment across field. Barge would go elite troop hunting, Monoliths would throw pie plates, imotekh would do his lightning thing, supported by a block of warriors sitting back on objective. 2 destroyers would try to blow up tanks as able.

    _________

    List 2. They Grey Knights. With some help from EB, I came up with this GK list. PRetty straight forward.

    HQ:

    Librarian…. 220pts
    Warding Staff , Might of Titan Sanctuary , Warp Rift , Quicksilver , Shrouding
    Empyrean Brain Mines

    Strike Squad (6)… 191pts
    Psy Cannon, 1x Halberd, 2x Sword, Justicar with Halberd
    Razorback with Psi Bolts, Search Light


    Terminators (5)… 225pts
    1 x Psi Cannon+ Sword, 1 x Halberd, 1 x Hammer, 1x Sword, Justicar with Halberd


    Fast Attack:

    Storm Raven Gunship… 201pts
    Twin Linked Multi-Melta, Twin Linked Assault Cannon, Search Light

    On the Necrons, I wouldn't put Harbringers of Destruction in a unit of Tesla Immortals. Tesla is good against infantry and lacklustre against vehicles, which you'll want to aim the Eldritch lance at. Instead I'd give them a Harbringer of Storm or Transmogrification.

    Necrons
    Dark Eldar
    Death Guard
    Nurgle Daemons
    Traitor Guard

    i like the chaos list. Just beware that the new faq says that warptime has to re-roll all wounds or none...you can not take the ones that failed to wound and leave the ones that wounded

    Remember people, Basilisk'''s are my friends

    But sadly, not yours
    Please take a few minutes to look at my Deathwing Tactica

    You need to take out all the points costs for upgrades. It's against Forum rules due to copyright issues.

    Your Strike Squads have too much fat on them. Drop the upgrades all together. If you're taking a 6-man unit in a Psyback, chances are you'll only need the Psycannon anyway. Searchlight are good if you've spare points, that's about it.

    Terminators - special weapons goes on the Halberdier. Because when in CC, the sword carriers will take the heavier hits with their improved Inv save, but it's still only 50/50. If they pass, great. If they fail and are carrying the special, that's baaaaad with a captial BAD.

    Everything else is fairly straight forward. Heavy Psilencer is gank though. Take it off and post it back to GW, they're pointless for all-comers lists.

    This week I am good-naturedly shaking my fist at: Baragash. For being unreasonably reasonable.
    Sex, drugs and pointy ears.
    Cheaphammer 40p: 2000 points of Marines as cheap as possible.
    It'll be alright on the Knight - a slow refreshing of my original Grey Knight army.
    Cordova: In my head you're eight foot tall, always carry an officer's sabre, and speak like Theoden at the battle of Pelennor Fields.

    Grey Knights don't go to heaven: they go to hell and regroup.
