Looking for help building my first competitive 2,000-point Necron army
Hi everyone,
I’ve finally decided to start Necrons as my main 40K army, and I’m now looking to build my first 2,000-point list.
I’m still relatively new to competitive 40K, so I’m looking for a list that is beginner-friendly but genuinely competitive. My goal is not just to have a strong list for a few games, but to build a solid core that I can learn with and expand over time.
Ideally, I’m looking for a list that:
- is competitive at 2,000 points
- is relatively straightforward to learn
- has good durability and board control
- has a mix of strong melee and ranged options
- gives me enough flexibility to play different matchups
- uses units that are good long-term investments
- can be expanded or adapted into other competitive lists later
- has enough depth that I can eventually become a strong competitive player with the army
I particularly like the idea of durable warrior bricks, powerful characters and a few big threats such as C’tan, but I’m open to different approaches if there are better competitive options.
Since I’m starting from scratch, I’d also really appreciate advice on which boxes/units I should buy first and which units I should avoid buying if they are currently less useful competitively.
I’m not looking for a hyper-optimized tournament list that will become obsolete after the next balance update. I’d rather have a stable, well-rounded competitive foundation that I can build my collection around.
Thanks in advance!
