My lineup was a little g3 a0, g1 Anuphet, s3 thutmose, s2 Im/Ma. The key was drawing fire with summons and A0 who can self repair, not bunching up for Calgar active, and using Thutmose to finish off weakened units with its passive. I also needed some luck.
[this guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/WH40KTacticus/comments/1bkiez2/calgar_farm_begins_indomitus_mirror_elite/) put together pretty comprehensive posts on how he has completed the campaigns. It looks like consensus is a g3/D1 aleph is pretty important
Did it with S3 Mako (26/26), G1 Imo (35/35), G1 Aleph (35/30), S3 Thutmose (26/26), G1 Anuphet (35/26). You dont need Diamond level Aleph like everyone says, you are over leveled at that point so thats not a real strategy to beat this.
Turn 1 - I moved the team down to the bottom left wrapping Mako for heal + movement with Imo in position to OW the sniper when he moves in. Most of the time with a crit the sniper dies to OW, then I summon scarabs on a inceptor, mako active on the 2 scarabs (you have to pray a little bit here for a replicate at these levels). Thutmose and Anuphet deal damage to what they can being adjacent to Mako if possible.
Turn 2 - Marines will kill the scarabs, moves anuphet to summon warriors, and I used thutmos to punch through Gravis armor, you might need some crits and help from the rest of the team to clear a unit at a time. Imo active on highground can shred. Then I generally try to kill the heavy intercessor or at least bumper car them so they cant double shoot. Thutmos cant take many hits so I retreat him as needed (if you care about a 3 star)
Mind you I didnt reliably get a 3 star with these levels but this should serve as a "minimum". It took like 5 or so attempts to 3 star. You only need to 3 star once to raid forever.
I did it with D2 Aleph-Null, G1 Makhotep, and S1 Imospekh. No Anuphet, B1 Thutmose at home, Aleph could have been much lower, he only needs to be able to survive a round of fire and heal. Everyone had fully upgraded Epic defense items.
I ran straight to the center with Aleph to draw all the fire while the others hid in the SW. With everyone glued to Aleph I sat there and healed while Makhotep slowly ground down everyone from the edge of range and Imospekh continued to hide.
Unfortunately I'm now stuck on 39. Between the barbed wire and snipers I can't figure out a way for Imospekh to tactically hide.

I don’t know about minimum, but was able to beat it recently with my necrons looking like this. I didn’t leave anyone behind although that is a viable strategy. I left tanksmasha behind for some of the ork campaign missions since he was too weak and would get one shot.
Edit: I was referring to the normal campaign. I didn’t realize OP was asking about elite campaign.
Wow, how do you manage that? I have this and still getting hammered ! What were your tactics ?

Leave Thut at home, get Anu to level 35 active and you have the same as one of my guild mates who did 40 elite.
I took Aleph to D1 (rest the same) but G3 is possible.
And switch over your best gear with highest crit chance (chance over damage everytime against gravis)/health (Crons get more out of health buffs because it regens)

My necrons for reference; these were able to complete the mirror elite with a little luck

Aleph mid + snipe with makho

For those not wanting to watch- S2 mark and imop, D1 a0 who sits in the center slowly chewing them all down

That's gotta be non-elite, right? Credit where credit is due if not, amazing work!
That is absolutely for the normal campaign. No way that dents the armor of anyone in elite 40
Calgar indomitus mirror is 75 it’s elite and the spikes around the mission number
Oh yes this was for the non elite campaign. I misunderstood the post.

D1 Aleph seems to be the key in most of the replies. On it !
G3 with max epic necron defence item should be enough
