Just starting to build my first few Necrons. I may have went overboard, but when both my kid and my wife said they liked the Necrons and wanted to paint some models I figured I would try to get them into the hobby side of 40k at least. Anywho, I tried to make at least semi-educated purchases based off of what I'd like to play and so far have this:
Catacomb Command Barge
Ghost Ark and 10 Warriors (Planning on getting a second set of these)
10 Immortals (Also considering Death Marks)
5 Lych Guard (Planning on Axe and Shield)
Night Scythe
2x Triarch Stalkers
2x 3 Canoptek Wraiths
What I am looking for is a basic 1850 collection of models to get me started in tournaments and get the family painting. As mentioned above I plan on adding another Ghost Ark with 10 warriors, but after that am at a loss because I haven't even seen Necrons on the table since 5th edition, and even then I was across the table from them. My meta has a lot of drop pod lists, or similar, which is one reason I would like to try the deathmarks out. The rule where they get to auto-couter deep strike and come in wounding on 2s looks amazing. I have also been considering some Tomb Scythes for late game boosting onto objectives and ignore cover shots and harassment.
Anywho, what direction do you guys think I should go, and what would be some good additions to my collection?

From what I'm seeing, you probably want to follow the formations on offer for the decurion. This means 10-20 triarch praetorians (depending if you prefer min or max squads). Also you want to get a Spyder as the formation is broken for wraiths. Also get at least 6 tombblades as they are required for the reclamation legion as well as being extremely useful. Then add other auxiliary formations that you prefer, destroyers are excellent MEQ killers with the heavy variant being a las cannon on a jet bike.
