I have deployed them before in earlier versions of the list, back when they were movement 30, but at movement 25 they're just wasting a turn being shot at while trying to get somewhere useful, whereas they could have just come out of a portal.
As long as you make sure you have more portals than formations to come from them there's no reason to deploy at all.
You assume there are no garrisons to fire at.
And there is a good reason to deploy them as I suggested - for fun and variety, and to give your opponent something unexpected. Too bad you are across the pond - I'd love to demonstrate.
But the next best thing - I am playing sometime before Thanksgiving and I'll try to put together a Necron force that deploys a good portion of its forces.
