I know but I think that they are a little too much of a challenge...Especially for the Eldar who aren't speial designed for a certain type of combat.

Not exactly. Something that the Eldar have over almost any other race when it comes to fighting Necrons is one thing: power weapons. There are only two weapons in the entire army that aren't power weapons, and those are chainswords and witchblades. Think about it - howling banshees, almost all exarchs, and storm gaurdians.

Trust me, I have played Necrons and witnessed horrific losses at the hands of Eldar and one particular Senior Heroic Officer (from my friends IG army, he had a power sword and plasma pistol) that has now been given the nickname "Darth Vader". With those typs of weapons, Necrons stay dead. Plus the idea of 20-strong squads of Storm Gaurdians all with power swords FoFing around the map hunting down squads of Warriors is just sick.

I was about to hit myself with my sword on the head if Storm Guardians had power weapons. That would be sick.

Also Singing Spears aren't power weapons which is stupid as hell. Check the codex, it does not say that the Singing Spear ignores normal armor saves.

I agree, whats the point of having extremely expensive close combat squads that have no power weapons? Terminators have power weapons and they can be just as hard (if not harder) to kill than bikes, and if you deep strike with them they are almost as mobile, at least for that turn.
