Never underestimate Scarabs!

I started playing recently and one of the factions I really wanted to try was Necrons. I saw a few people mention scarabs as a good choice for units, and looking them over I decided that 2 points per unit wasn't half bad. However, nothing feels as good as just straight blocking everything and being faster than practically any non-vehicle unit. Objective right in the middle of the table and you need to get there first? Scarabs. Oh no, a squad of terminators/demon prince/etc looking to ruin everything you've ever loved? Scarabs. My C'tan shard looking a little defenseless in all this chaos? Fucking scarabs.

Nothing feels quite as good (for you) and quite as bad (for your opponent) as sending over a three-bug squad of 3W 4A scarabs that barely hit anything, because your opponent can feel all the time wasted either running or fighting these dog sized monsters. Again, I might be new and there may be a lot of things I don't know about the game, but scarabs have been MVP for three games in a row and I love them.
