Yes, I know, my list was 14 points short of the 1500, but I liked it.
His list, had:
A lord with the orb thingy.
The Night Bringer
20 warriors
6 Destroyers
a wraith
I think there was 6 or so Immortals
and a Monolith.
So we just did a basic cleanse mission.
As for Deployment, I put down the 8 man Guard squad, and the Lords with my Far seer, and spreed out the other two squads.
For some reason, the Necron player, kept the warriors, and Immortals in reserve....
He got first deployment, I got first turn.
Turn one Not a lot happend here, I moved up, as fast as I could, I ended up a good distance up the board, about an average of 8 inches from where I started, and in as much cover as I could get.
At the top of the necron turn, he opened up with a particle whip, landed smack on my far-seer, and squad of Guard I had with him, the two Lords were just out side of the blast zone.
How ever, I had a good laugh when it came times for the wounding, out of 9 dice, he had 5 ones, that had to suck, so out of the reaming 4, I just ate one, on each of the first 4 Guard.
The rest of his shooting was lackluster, and nothing else took a wound.
Turn 2After such a stellar performace from the Necrons, I thought, lets see what my dead-boys can do..., my far-seer guarded by 8 WG's and 2 WL's moved up into 'weapons range' of the monolith, and let lose, with 5 Wraith Cannon shots, since they were the only ones in-range, And the dice gods said...

Well not bad, I thought, two Pens, and three Glances.
For the Glances, I got, Immobilised, Immobilised, Weapon Destroyed.
But the best part was the Pen's, double 6's, you know the one, the big boom! too bad I got nothing grate for the radius.
That all being said, the look on his face, when he found out, what those cannons do, well, he just about had a heart attack, he was pushed to almost phase out, with that one blow.
My other two Guard units, moved a little closer to his destroyers, and the Night Bringer....
His turn 2:
Well having dealt with the loss of his star player, he moved the Night Bringer into almost Close Combat range, and blasted me with his shot, that wounded, but didn't kill, he asked why, stating that it S9, and I said, true, but my Guard are T6, I think I saw him cringe a little more, when I said that.
He moved his Destroyers up into a position, where they could get a shot off at the Wraith Lords, shot and he jumped for joy, when he got 5 sixes, from one squad, and boasted that that'd bring down my 'vehceals', when I informed him, that they were monstrous creatures, and not vehceals, I think he learned that he was a little outclassed.
Well, I'm not one for writing long winded reports, nor am I all that skilled at typing them out, so long story short, I won, after the shooting phase on turn 3, due to phase out.
