Could I suggest that the colouration of the actual army list be less dark? The white text on dark background is a bit tough to read and will use gallons of ink if printed at home.
Black text on lighter grey should give you the contrast you want and the "metal" feel of the Necrons.
Other than that, fantastico!

Well, I am this close ---> <---- to putting out the entire Epic Raiders document and I was hoping to do it all at once rather than deal with changing each document. ?As for Raiders, I am not-so-patiently waiting on a single part from one of our creative team. ?I won't say who but his name begins with 'Evi & Chao'. ?If I had that part, the whole thing would be on Tactical Command by the weekend (maybe sooner since I have some time off). ?Unfortunately I can't work around it anymore since I need to do page numbers, last minute layout changes, etc.

I will most definitely be taking a break. With that said, I have offered my assistance to Chroma on the supplement he wanted to head, slowly collecting permission from artists for their artwork, and I even bought publishing software so the layouts won't be nearly as laborious to put together as they currently are with Word and Open Office.
Once I put Raiders out though, I will be concentrating on Epic playing for the summer, finishing up my Raider Mk II molds, etc.

I thought Word is long off date and the people are using LaTeX now. But that's probably only for scientific issues.
Good hand on the final polishing!

Couple more things...
The list needs a note that you can't upgrade a warbarque to a supreme commander if a c'tan is present, or if another barque has already been upgraded.
Isn't the tomb complex meant to be 75 points not 50?

I was initially going to say that it is obvious that you can only have one Supreme Commander, but I went and reviewed the Core rules and
2.1.15 Supreme Commanders Supreme Commanders represent high-level command units. They count as commanders and leaders (see 2.1.2 and 2.1.8 respectively). In addition, each supreme
commander unit in the army allows a player to re-roll one failed initiative test (of any type) once per turn.
So it turns out I need to change the list to correct that after all...  And I've changed the cost of the Tomb Complex. Good catches, thanks!

Yeah, somewhere in the old FAQ Jervis talks about how he wrote the main rules to allow multiple supreme commanders, but didn't give the option to any of the army lists. It's intended for specialist lists and scenarios, and it a classic example of the forward thinking and decent planning that went into the rules writing for Epic, unlike many other GW games.
