2 · Complete your army ~1,000 pts (Incursion)

Amonhotekh's Guard (Overlord, Doomstalker, Skorpekh Destroyers, Warriors, Scarabs) is well-rounded but a single Warrior squad with no dedicated anti-tank. Add core bodies, firepower battleline, and anti-armour.

Necron Warriors x1 Second core Battleline so Reanimation keeps two objectives held all game. 🛒

Immortals x1 Firepower battleline with better guns/durability than basic Warriors. 🛒

Lokhust Heavy Destroyers x1 The dedicated anti-tank the box lacks — cracks vehicles and monsters. 🛒

Lychguard x1 A durable melee wall to add a close-combat threat. 🛒

3 · Competitive core — what winning lists run
