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:

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.
