The one that looks like a boat is called a Ghost Ark (I think). The spider one is a Canoptek Spider. The weird ones that stand on their tails are Wraiths. The ones in the centre back of the first picture are called Tomb Blades (I think).
New to 40K so sorry if the names are wrong, just trying to help.

Ghost Ark, Necron transport. Turned upside down, remove the Necrons, and mount big guns on it and that becomes the Doomsday Ark; the model kit comes with the pieces to do either.

Very nice looking, that blue and gold color scheme really makes them look more Egyptian.

Thanks, that was what I was hoping for!

Looks great! I have about 20k in Necrons and this makes me want to get them out for some photos.

Lovely, nice to see some colourful Necrons, I'd have liked you to paint the plastic green gauss rods to improve the humble Warriors, but otherwise a great cohesive looking Force. What's next? More Canoptek Harvest Wraiths and Spyders? How do you fare with the Particle Weapons on the Tomb Blades? I've opted for Gauss, but interested to see how others manage?
Here is my Force, I use red Gauss energy on a blue accent armour: http://weemen.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Necrons
Thanks! I currently have a stalker and monolith assembled that I will be painting next. After that the plan is to pick up a second ghost ark, 2 units of praetorians to complete the judicator battalion, 3 more wraiths, and deathmarks. That will put me around the 2k mark. I know the monolith isn't the most useful way to spend 200pts but I just think it's too cool not to have :)
I agree the warriors could use something to make them more exciting, but those were my first models so I was a little cautious to try something different.
I've only played around 10 games so far, but I have mixed feelings about the particle weapons. It's nice to have some blast weapons to hit some of the horde units whereas the rest of the army is mostly Gauss, but it is kind of tedious rolling the scatter die for each shot.
Your army looks great. I really like the contrast of the red and blue!
I'm also thinking about adding a monolith to my army. I think it's just too iconic for Necrons not to have one. I also wouldn't worry about competitiveness too much at this moment in time. The 8th Edition will mix up usefulness and powerlevels soon anyway.
