Tournament List

Let me know what you think I should change

HQ
Overlord + Warscythe + Command Barge = 180 pts

Overlord + Warscythe + Command Barge = 180 pts

Royal Court 1
4 Harbinger of Destruction - Eldritch Lance = 140 pts
1 Harbinger of Destruction - Eldritch Lance - Solar Pulse -= 55 pts

Royal Court 2
4 Harbinger of Destruction - Eldritch Lance = 140 pts
1 Harbinger of Destruction - Eldritch Lance - Solar Pulse -= 55 pts

Troops
9 Warriors = 117 pts
9 Warriors = 117 pts
9 Warriors = 117 pts
2 Ghost Arks = 230 pts

Fast Attack
6 Wraiths - 3 whip coils, 2 particle casters = 250 pts
5 scarabs = 75 pts
5 scarabs = 75 pts

Heavy Support
3 Annihilation Barges 270 pts

Total = 2001 pts

OK so turn 1 harbingers get into ghost arks ( 5 in each ghost ark) and just pop shot at tanks, warriors in front of ghost arks should be pretty survivable. Wraiths, annihilation barges, scarabs and overlords do what they do best!Solar pulses stop me from getting shot to bits while I'm maneuvering into position.

So what do you think?

A Chronometron would be really handy in those courts, even worth the loss of a lance. Turning a shaken result to destroyed is funtastic.

Warriors aren't really doing anything. You could take the 5 minimum to unlock the Ark and throw them into reserves. Spend the rest on Immortals with Tesla Carbines for a more durable, threatening unit.

Yeah I see what you mean about the chronometron, but the whole point of the 3 x 9 warriors with the ghost arks was to have troop choices that had good survivability. If I do the 2 x 5 units of warriors to keep the ghost arks, I will only have enough points for a unit of 6 immortals and a unit of 7 immortals. That seems like 4 troop choices that are too easy to put down.

9 Warriors aren't terribly durable even with Ark support, Immortals also have the capacity to shoot back going for them.

Ok point taken, what would you suggest? If I'm switching out warriors for immortals should I drop the ghost arks all together?

i wish i could field a necron version of the DE mass raider style.

alas im not sure how viable it is considering the ARKS price

the warriors in the ark is totally fine. You might want a pheoron. They make the ark fantastic.

Looks good, though I think you'd be better off with lances in the Immortal units to give you more AT at range.

If I want to put the 2 crypteks with a squad of immortals can I only have 8 immortals in the squad, bringing the total to 10 or can I have 10 immortals + 2 crypteks bringing the total size of the squad to 12?

Any time you add Crypteks to a unit they are in addition to the unit. You can have 10 immortals and 2 crypteks. The only time you need to worry about size will be for transports. You can only have 8 warriors and 2 crypteks to be able to ride in a Ghost ark. Though, for that instance, 5 warriors and 2 crypteks are better.

How about if I reduce the scarabs down and put 7 of them in 1 squad, that will give me enough to put 2 more immortals in each squad.
