Use your Kroot, and stealthsuits. Necrons are extremely weak against both melee and have relatively little stealth detection. That said, anti heavy infantry, or rapid firing anti vehicle weapons are a must as tau.

I see a few people here got confused. i am correct in saying that you are playing the necrons and want to beat the tau? not the other way around like some seem to think? in that case id probably reccomend using flayed ones to your advantage. if you have your main forces moving to them, use the flayed ones to teleport in and tie the fire teams (and any other ranged units) into melee, this would result in either them retreating OR trying to use kroots to get them. this is your chance to move in and murder them

try to use stealth suits

If you want to defeat Tau as Necrons, use your Necron Lord a lot. Solar Pulse negates ranged attacks in a large area, and the NL can teleport to keep fire warriors tied up in melee. Kroots are not that much of a problem, as Necron Warriors have a powerful knockback attack. Stealth suits are fairly weak as they do little damage and Builder Scarabs have huge line of sight and cost nothing at all. Solar Pulse also reveals them, and they get focused down nearly instantly by NWs. Research Disruption Fields for NW, that makes them somewhat resistant to ranged attacks.

If you want to beat Necrons with Tau... Keep harrasing with Vespids in early game, cap as many points as you can, and try to out-gun them. Plasma guns do bonus damage to Necrons, and FWs have them by default. Skyray Missile ships can hurt them badly with the missile barrage. The Tau commander's traps can keep melee units from closing onto your infantry. Don't bother with Stealthsuits.
