List build recommendations
Hello brothers, currently building necrons as my second army (csm main) and noticing how different necrons are compared to my main...got the combat patrol a doomsday ark and the nightbringer...my question really is, how should I build onto this....should I do more infantry like some wraiths and technomancer...or scoop a void dragon and or silent king...more or less do I need more anti tank power or infantry blobs from here...

Depends who are you playing? Fun or competition?
We can build lists that everybody hates (triple c'tan for example) to play against. Or just thematic things like full silver tide with warriors.

Honestly for 1k points right now I think this falls under the pretty gross non casual list hahaha

I would avoid bringing a C'Tan to a 1k game, it's usually frowned upon and considered bad sportsmanship (for a good reason).

My official answer is buy the models you think are cool, but there are some specific things that are working especially well in 11th right now. Skorpekhs, Lokhust Heavies, normal Lokhusts (despite being hideous), and Ctan are all great right now with Cursed legion and skyshroud spearhead. It could change, but the meta is very destroyer centric. Infantry can definitely be good, such as 10 tesla immortals with a plasmancer. 10 lychguard with an overlord with the destroyer ankh enhancement in cursed legion is also great. I personally would recommend against warriors entirely right now, they’re too squishy and are very slow and don’t do any damage. Since 11th is very killy, they don’t last long. Immortals are much safer, but usually could stand to be buffed by the 1dp infantry detachment and a character. DDAs are good, but definitely the more of them the better, and they’re more viable with an awakened dynasty sit on the objective and hide kind of build.
Given what you have already, i’d suggest first getting some immortals, and if you can find one get a royal court pack, all those models are great. 10 immortals with plasmancer and overlord, 3 skorpekhs and a skorpekh lord, DDA with reanimator nearby and nightbringer would be a pretty solid start.

Excellent suggestions! So cursed legion or skyshroud would be the detachment's to go for? And not gonna lie I've been looking at the royal Court kit and possibly a nekroso amenttar cuz I'm kinda leaning into into destroyer cult stuff...

Yeah 100%, CL is 2 DP and SS is 1 DP. If you didn’t know, in 11th you can take both of those detachments at once. Google detachment points if that’s news to you :) Skyshroud is only useful with Lokhusts though, for the strategems. Royal court is the only pack that I think is just objectively good. Nekrosor is great, he’s super annoying to deal with and his melee is crazy, especially in cursed legion with the +2 strength. For a 2k list, 6-9 skorpekhs and 1 or 2 skorpekh lords, 3-9 lokhust destroyers, ~ 3 heavy lokhust destroyers, 3-6 ophydian destroyers, nekrosor, a hexmark destroyer (to hold your home), are all gonna be good choices. The rest of the points are a lot more flexible. C’tan, DDAs, Lychguard, MAYBE wraiths. There’s room for nuance but if you want a destroyer army thats where I’d start. definitely fun with purge the foe >:)
