You need to be able to take down AV13 while taking care of wraiths / scarabs whose sole objective is to close for close combat. This means you need melta and something to fend the wraiths / scarabs with. The problem with this is it brings the necron army into 24" range which is where it really starts to grind you down. They don't care if you are using termies or marines, they will give you your saving throws and just rely on weight of dice to fail them which means they don't really care who they face in terms of opponents. The style is the same versus most opponents, force you to fight the wraiths / scarabs while bringing the rest of the army into 24" range and just sinking you under a weight of shooting. Obviously you also need to be able to cope with the possibility of a flyer wing but they are only AV11 so any of your normal flyer defences will cope with those...
