40K - An education
#5
For Necrons watch out for the deathmark unit with one or two despair crypteks in a nightscythe. these mark a unit when they deploy (eg your terminators) and this means they wound that unit on 2's. The deathmarks have rapid fire 24" sniper weapons, and the attached crypteks have a flamer template (so ignores cover) that again wounds the marked unit on 2's and is ap2!! Tasty, although they are a bit of a one shot weapon - beware deepstriking your termies near his lines if he has these in reserve...

mind shackle scarabs on the overlords are nasty - causing you to test ld on 3d6 and if fail that model attacks its own unit (or itself!)

Necrons can also play around with night fight but prob not a massive issue with your list as you will be trying to get up close. They are very resistant to shooting due to reanimation rolls (made at the end of each phase, any model killed with this rule stands back up on a 5+ (although can't be used if they flee - Ld10 across the board though). assault is best way to take down necrons.

Wriathwing sounds very popular talking to big rob last night. wraiths are 2wounds, 3++ save, T4, S6 rending attacks, quite a few attacks each and ignore terrain when moving so resilient and good in combat. They also can have whips that reduce the enemy to I1. I think termies, especially with a few storm shields, have the edge on these. best to torrent them or shoot with S8 missiles though, don't bother shooting the plasma into them unless no better targets.

that's all I can think of for Necrons atm.
