Topic: Necrons + IG for doubles tourney (1K + 1K)

[Milford Cubicle]

I'm attending a doubles tourney with a friend tomorrow, and would like some feedback on our lists and how do you think they'll work together. There will be three games: Purge the alien, Relic and Crusade (5 objectives). I'm playing Necrons and my friend is playing Guard. His detachment seems really solid, but I'm a bit worried about my own and if I'm able to pull my own weight. Here are our lists:

HQ
 
Necron Overlord
 -Warscythe
 
Royal Court:
 -2x Harbinger of the Storm
 
TROOPS
 
7x Immortals

TOTAL 994

One problem I see with Necron list is the frailty of the troops. Once they are out of their transport, they're pretty much dead meat (or mangled metal ). I wonder if I should drop the Gauss immortals altogether and beef up the other squads, mounting the Tesla Immortals in the Scythe. What do you guys think? Any other glaring weaknesses? We both have a quite extensive collection of minis for our armies, so all kinds of propositions for improvement are welcome.

Personally I find IG to be the much superior shooty force from a distance. whereas the Necron bread and butter is at 24" typically.

Seeing as your partner does have a pretty solid handle on that, I'd personally shore up the one big issue that IG have trouble with: Assault.

Personally I'd take staple units like Annihilation Barges, and Immortals in flyers, but after that... I'd probably go Destroyer Lord, wraith wing. And/Or Tomb Spyders and Scarab swarm.

This would allow you to really put the hurt on anything trying to close the gap. Manticores at 1K I find to be crazy good... you gotta protect that stuff.

Anyway, that's what I'd do. There's nothing wrong with the Necron shooting, just at range your partner does it a lot better.. he's just super fragile.
