I have a game tomorrow against a buddy of mine who plays Daemons. He agreed to bring Daemons and I agreed to bring Necrons so we could both bring lists designed to beat the other one. Here is what I am planning.

Harbinger of Transmogrification

- Seismuc Crucible
Necron Lord
- Mindshackle Scarabs
- Gauntlet of Fire
- Resurrection Orb
Elites
C'tan Shard
- Pyreshards
- Writhing Wordscape
Troops
9 Necron Warriors
- Ghost Ark
10 Necron Immortals
- Tesla Carbines
10 Necron Immortals
- Gauss Blasters
Fast Attack
5 Canoptek Scarabs

5 Tomb Blades

Now, I know he does not have the models to do something like Fatecrusher or 18 Fiends. He tends to bring pretty mixed lists with one of each of the "good" choices. We played last week but it was 2 objectives with Spearhead deployment so it ended up being a tie. This time we are doing victory points to prevent that.
We tend to play with 25-30% terrain on the board, most of it being ruins or other pieces that provide cover. I’m hoping with this list I can hurt his units when they deepstrike into cover by taking out 1 or 2 models per unit from DT tests, and if he doesn’t DS into cover he’ll be easy to shoot.
I think I’ve got enough firepower to kill or severely weaken anything that comes close to assaulting me. The scarabs I plan to use as assault screens, if I can keep the number of assaults happening at a time down to 1 or 2, I can use Counter Tactics to tip the scales in my favor with Counter Attack and by taking away furious charge from Khorne Daemons.
How have my fellow Necron players done against Daemons?
