The Deployment:
I had Berserkers in the red Rhinos, Chosen in the chrome Rhino along with Kharn, the Chaos Lord with axe and the 2 Dark Apostles. Havocs and the other Lord in the only ruin in my deployment.
All 40 Necron Warriors were deployed on the edge of the deployment zone with Ghost Arks and an Overlord behind them.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 1:
Berserkers disembark assault the Necron Warriors and with the help of Kharn and a Chaos Lord they manage to kill all of them. Havocs manage to get 7 wounds on the Stalker.
Necrons Turn 1:
Stalker gets a few wounds on the full Rhino, but the one of the Ghost Arks destroys it. Warriors kill all the Berserkers. The second Ghost Ark also kills a few Berserkers from the other squad. The Spiders repairs the Stalker. The Overlord assaults the Berserkers, he doesn't wound them but my Chaos Lord intervenes and kills the enemy. Deathmarks shoot at the Havocs and manage to kill one.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 2:
Havocs finish off the Stalker and get a few wounds on the Ghost Ark near the middle of the board and kill 2 Deathmarks. Chosen also get a few wounds on the Ark but 2 of them die when assaulting it. The Lord and the two Dark Apostles finish the Ghost Ark and the Berserkers get 2 wounds on the Overlord that joined the fight.
Necrons Turn 2:
Ghost Ark does 2 wounds to the chromed Rhino. The Tomb Spider joins the fight and kills a Berserker. The Overlord gets 2 wounds on Kharn. Kharn kills the Spider and the Overlord. Warriors wound once the Chaos Lord but after he retaliates, with his Dark Apostles and Chosen, kill a lot of Warriors. Deathmarks kill yet another Havoc.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 3:
Havocs shoot at the Ghost Ark and inflict only 2 damage. The guys in combat leave only one Warrior alive.
Necrons Turn 3:
8 Warriors reanimate and hop in the Ghost Ark which repairs another one. Deathmarks focus fire and kill the Havoc Champion.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 4:
Everybody goes after the Ghost Ark but I didn't manage to take it down.
Necrons Turn 3:
Warriors disembark and kill one of the Dark Apostles. The Ark kills the second one. Deathmarks kill another Havoc.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 4:
Lascannons do 5 wounds on the Ark. Havocs kill a lot of Necron Warriors and they are finished in combat by Kharn.
Here my opponent dropped the white flag and surrendered, I was leading by points (11-1) and I still had a lot of firepower.
In conclusion I have a recommendation: DO NOT SHOOT HEAVY WEAPONS AT NECRON VEHICLES! (unless they do 1 damage). The Quantum Shield is a pain, I rolled high damage with my Lascannons and it was ignored. Berserkers performed well but they die so easy. Two Combi-bolters on the Rhinos is a must and always bring Dark Apostles with Berserkers.
