Alright, so I finally got enough put together for a small 1,000 pt. army. Here it is.
HQ: Overlord- Warscythe, Phaeron, Phylactery, Sempiternal weave- 150 pts.
Troops: Warriors- 14x- Includes Lord with Warscythe and Res. orb- 257 pts.
Warriors- 14x- Includes Lord with Warscythe and Res. orb- 257 pts.
Fast Attack: Destroyers- 3x- 120 pts.
Destroyers- 3x- 120 pts.
Scarab swarm- 6x- 90 pts.
Total: 994 pts.
The idea is to just sit in the back and shoot up my opponent. The Overlord is with one of the Warrior units so they can move forward or back and still shoot just fine. The destroyers will target any elite forces and Scarabs are tank hunters.
Thoughts?

Let me know how the Destroyers work out. I've ordered two boxes of warriors, a ghost ark, and an annihalation barge, mainly because I love how the barge looks.
With my own lists I'm leaving the warscythes at home because I'm hoping to keep everything at range to the point where I won't need a power weapon...so again, if you get to use this list soon, let me know if the warscythes came in handy.

Warscythes are handy since they are power weapons that can take out tanks, so if you are charged by a Dreadnought you can take it out.

Seems like a pretty standard list containing all the old units. I too am curious how the destroyers play out because I can't really justify bringing them in the new codex... which is a shame because I own 10 of them.
I have only played 3 games so far with the new Necron Codex at the 750 point level and all I can say is that the scarabs are truly amazing for dealing with vehicles (made a Dark Eldar Ravager/Venom spam player concede turn 4 with them). Also, Monoliths seem to be a good option at the lower point games too. At least mine lived all 3 games and was great for pushing people completely off objectives. Against Dark Angels, it sucked Belial into the Gate ;D

Less mobility, less shots, less range in exchange for -10 points and ap 3. I'm not really sure how I feel about that... not every army I fight is marines. That is why I want to know how they fare when Killer plays with them.

just sit in the back and shoot up my opponent. You dont have anything in your list to just sit back and shoot with!! Your max weapon range is 24" unless your going to upgrade the destroyers with heavy cannons. At 1k I would say that you will be shot up at range and then assaulted. Looking to a larger army I would say deffo upgrade the destroyers with heavy cannons, add some spyders to back up the scarabs, I would recommend a Ghost ark and drop the warrior squads down to 9 + a lord or your phaeron to give you 3 scoring units. I would also suggest that you throw in 1 of the new units just for some fun. I am enjoying the Death Marks for the 3+ to hit and 2+ to wound!

You've basically suggested adding 500+ points without really taking anything out.

BA I am pretty sure I said "in larger armies" in the third line of my responce! However where is your constructive comment?
If I was running this list I would have
10 warriors with the Phaeron 9 Warriors plus a lord 9 warriors plus a lord
3 destroyers ( 2 x heavy cannon) 3 destroyers ( 1 x heavy cannon)
This will leave you with 30 points to give the Phaeron a RO.
This will give you 3 scoring units that all have a 4+ reanimation protocol and also have 2 units that are able to kill tanks and do damage at a greater range.

woah guys, cool it. you dont have to be better than anyone, an oppinion is just an oppinion. necrons are more of a slowly advance and shoot the crap out of anything kind of army, with some units zipping ahead and soaking up fire while wreaking mass destruction on the battlefield. similar to destroyerlords list, this would be a nice all-round list in a 1000 pts game, utilising speed and endurence with the new necron codex have 2 mod points
