Necron strong hold is difficult. The method I learned to deal with them is to focus on infantry. When you start, put your hero and something to support them at the ramp to your base, and stick a anti-tank vehicle or unit behind your base. You do not want to attempt the stronghold without some degree of honorgaurd. Once you fight the initial battle, don't even consider poking around the enemy monoliths until you have a decent fighting force. Stay still for awhile. Necrons don't send too many forces at you. Once you have built up, fight past the first tunnel and necron energy spire, then battle into the first wide area. This spot is really important. Using your funds, start building strongholds in this zone, as many as you can. These will help you settle for the long slug as they provide requisition and obviously generators. Make liberal use of turrets as well, and set up a defensive perimeter. Make sure you have plenty of men. Use the remainder of the space building up your tech tree. In the initial spot just focus on a functioning forward operating base. After this, your in for the haul. Clear out the map, every corner. Reliance on infantry is pretty important as one energy spire can take over your vehicles. Clear each and every bonus objective BEFORE the first, as your hero has to make a mad dash back to your initial starting spot and as such, your going to sacrifice your army. The reason for this is that the enemy has a nightbringer that NEVER leaves, and you dont want to get even close to the main objective because that will make him move. Just move as a unit, stay reinforced, and kill each objective and zone of the map, eliminate every fortification. When your certain, ball up your army minus hero and launch at the main objective in the back. Your army needs to tie up the Nightbringer as your hero runs past. After, your hero needs to run as fast as they can back to safety. I want to add the nightbringer decimates a big force quick, so coordinate.

Of note, I never use my hero once I have the big zone I mentioned above. The army is expendable due to the income of requisition, so it's better to lose and rebuild then not. Make good use of turrets and be through.
