Using a Force Organisation Chart
The army lists are used in conjunction with the Force Organisation chart from a scenario. Each Force Organisation chart is split into five categories that correspond to the sections in the army list, and each category has one or more boxes. Each box indicates that you may make one choice from that section of the army list, while a dark toned box means that you must make a choice from that section.

Using the Army Lists
To make a choice, look in the relevant section in the army list and decide what unit you wish to have in your army, how many models there will be in the unit, and which upgrades that you want (if any). Remember that you cannot field models that are equipped with weapons and wargear that are not shown on the model.
Once this is done, subtract the points value of the unit from your total points and then go back and make another choice. Continue doing this until you have spent all your points.
Army List Entries
Each army list entry consists of the following:
- Unit Name: The type of unit, which may also show a limitation on the minimum or maximum number of choices you can make of that unit type (0-1, for example).
- Profile: These are the characteristics of that unit type, including its points cost.
- Number/Squad: This shows the number of models in the unit, or the number of models you may take for one choice from the Force Organisation chart. If this is a variable amount, it shows the minimum and maximum unit size.
- Weapons: These are the unit's standard weapons.
- Options: This lists the different weapon and equipment options for the unit and any additional points cost for taking these options. If a squad is allowed to have models with upgrades, then these must be given to ordinary team members, not to a character in the squad.
- Special Rules: This is where you'll find any special rules that apply to the unit.
Special Necron Notes
Strategy rating The Necrons have a Strategy rating of 3.
Sentries When required to deploy sentries, the Necron player may use ten Necron Warriors. These Warriors do not benefit from the 'We'll Be Back!' special rule.
Sustained Attack scenario special rule When attacking in a mission that uses the Sustained Attack special rule (for example, the Meat Grinder mission) the 25% Phase Out rule is waived.
Capturing Necrons Due to their Phase Out ability, no enemy army ever scores bonus Victory points for 'capturing' Necrons as they will simply phase out.
Experience Necrons never gain experience during campaigns, as they have no individual identity or capacity to learn from experience. For the same reason, Necron vehicles have no Leadership value.
C'tan do not gain experience as they are special characters and, because they have been around for a very long time, there is little they have not already learned.
