How are Necrons correctly played?
I am new to the game and preparing for my first tournament and have played against my friends (Guard and Tau) on their tournament lists but I always feel like my stuff is so slow and I don't have enough of them to score secondary objectives while they have so many more guys to just screen out the entire board so I can't drop my deep strikers to score secondaries.
On the other hand I can take mid and hold it and maybe another point but I don't feel like I have enough units to hold those 2 and try and knock them off the third no man's land and then they outscore me on side objectives.
I feel like I might just be playing Necrons wrong or maybe even my list wrong but I feel like I am too new to the game to assess what mistakes I am making. I try to keep my units safe turn 1 but turn 2 I feel I need to get on to points or I just lose on primary since they will score at the end of turn 5.
I am playing Awakened Dynasty and here is the list if it helps figure out what I might need to do differently. I keep on squad of Skorpekhs+Lord in reserves to try and deal with things that push up to far or help threaten things that deep strike near my home point. The Hexmark Destroyer stays in reserves until I have a place to safely put him on a point or to have him score a secondary.
