So I've played 2 practice games with this list, both against the same list, 2 D-Lords with 2+ save, MSS and 4+ Inv, 17 Wraiths (2x6, 1x5), 3x5 Warriors in Nightscythes, 1x10 Immortals and 3x A-Barges.
Game1: Scouring and Vanguard strike, the game started well with me getting the 4+ Inv and Missfortune psychic powers, in the first opening shots the Warlord D-Lord went down, but it went down hill from there as 1x6 wraiths and a D-Lord held my Blob in combat for 4 combat turns, while the rest of the army went to town taking out the Grey Hunters, Veterans and both command squads with ease, with the A-Barges thinning the grey hunters enough for the Wraiths to charge and wipe them out one after the other, while in the skies, the Nightscythes all stayed off turn2 with some lucky/unlucky rolling depending on how you see it, 2 Vendettas came on and took out a A-Barge, then the Nightscythes came on and destroyed both Vendettas with 1 Barges help, then the other Vendetta came on a did nothing, then got shot down. In the end I held 1 objective (4pt), slay the warlord, Firstblood, 2 Wraith squads and Linebreaker. While the Necrons held 4 Objectives (1,3,3,2), Linebreaker, for a convincing defeat!
Game2 Relic + Emperors will and Dawn of War Deployment: I got the 4+ inv save again, I didn't get first turn again, this time the A-Barges went for the blob and thinned out 15 turn1, with all the Wraith squads flanking round the blob, I moved up to try get into my backfield again, I managed to catch 1 Wraith squad with the blob for a 17" charge + move! Which was pretty pivotal, as this catapulted the squad towards the relic, the Grey Hunters fought valiantly in combat this time, as I mobbed a Wraith squad, the Veteran squad was eaten, as was both the command squads by the 5 man Wraith squad, which then turned its attention to the grey Hunters, but this time I detached a Rune priest which charged into the combat with the Grey Hunters to support, and he did well killed 2 with his force weapon before being taken out, but this was a turning point in the combat as Grey Hunters just overwhelmed the Wraiths and I ended up holding my objective with a lucky run of 5" to get within 3" of the objective, while the blob which had a Warlord Commissar, 2 Sergeants and a Rune priest left held on to the Relic.
Next up, I want to face the new Daemon build and see how the list fares against all those flamers/screamers.
