Hey guys
Here are some simple 1200pt 40k Lists to build towards if you are just starting out in the game, by no means super tuned and really just to give you guys a flavour of what the game is like. Mike, Andy and Scott asked me to write a few lists for gaming day we are having to introduce them to 40k and I thought it might make good reading for those thinking about starting 40k. No formations or crazy spammy builds just now until we all get up to speed.
Rich Necrons:
Overlord: Warscythe; Phase Shifter
10 Warriors
10 Immortals
10 Triarch Praetorians
5 Canoptek Wraiths: 5× Whip Coils
4 Destroyers
6 Canoptek Scarabs
1,200 points
My list is a bit of a sampler to show you the different Necron units, might flex it a wee bit to tune down the power a little as it is hard to write a necron list that isn't awesome lol!

Mike's list is essentially a full Betrayal at Calth set built up with some upgrades to get to 1200pts. All from the one box! Should be super easy (and cheap!) for you to get on the table. Obviously this a perfect starting place to build up to for 30k and the builds transfer to 30k really well as a Pride of the legion army list.
