Is this for Narrative play? As you have 4 scarab swarms and Matched Play only allows 3. Maybe replace one of the scarab units with some Flayed Ones or Canoptek Wraiths?

 

Anyway, it looks like a fun list, but any rational opponent will take the new No Prisoners to max out VPs with the multi-Wound units you have. You should have a fairly fast-moving army that can tie up the enemy and then destroy them in melee.

[Gloomfoe]

Oops, good catch. I got carried away with myself there. Hmmm 135 pts to spend

[Mr4Minutes]

You’ve also got too many hqs, as both detachments cap at 2, and you have no Noble character for the Dynastic Advisor rule.

I’d use your spare points for something to sit on objectives. I’d say lychguard or warriors, but, sticking with the Canoptek/destroyer theme I’d suggest wraiths.

You could also add heavy Lokhust destroyers for some theme appropriate long range firepower.

[Gloomfoe]

It's like the necron codex doesn't want you to have any fun. Ok, back to the drawing board

[Gloomfoe]

Ok, took another pass at it. Remember, this is a patrol and vanguard smashed together. Funnily, I couldn't find room for the skorpek destroyer lord even in a destroyer themed army. Added a plasmancer and 20 flayed ones for leadership shenanigans.
