Idea is: bunch of fast movers with good shooting.
Astrix denote who goes with who.
Had another version that replaced the Harvest with a couple Night Scythes for the Warriors to ride around in, but the utility of the Harvest in being able to catch and hold things that might threaten my important guns was too good to ignore.

The deathmarks assembly out of place as do the mix of heavy destroyers and destroyers...other than that I really like it.

Yeah, I think the Destroyers could be better arranged.
Using what you have (9 regular & 5 heavy), I think this would be a better set-up:

5x Destroyers [5x Regular]
3x Destroyers [2x Regular, 1x Heavy]
3x Destroyers [2x Regular, 1x Heavy]
3x Heavy Destroyers

That gives you 1 dedicated anti-tank unit with the Heavies, 1 dedicated anti-infantry unit with the 5 Destroyer unit, and 2 versatile units that can clean up anything the first 2 didn't kill.

The rest of the list looks great. Btw, the minimum unit size for Wraiths is 5, not 3*



*(at least it is if you want them to see combat)

-

Actually, that is my usual Destroyer setup (5/3/3/3), but I find that sticking 3 Heavies together often results in wasted shots (with the formation bonus, two shots are typically able to handle most vehicles). I experimented and found the 3 Regular + 1 Heavy setup tends to be a lot more versatile, able to at least threaten any unit in the game. The psychological effect that has on opponent's choices should not be underestimated.

Also, with this build, the Wraiths are primarily playing bodyguard for the Destroyer (War)Lord so he can have ablative wounds to play with. I considered bumping them up to 4 or 5, but that would mean cutting utility things like the Overlord's Veil and the Deathmarks. Perhaps, but I may want to see how this iteration of the list works first.
(besides, Harvest units aren't meant for killing, they're meant for tarpitting. Even 3 Wraiths and 5 Scarabs can do that job.)
