maybe pass on the extra warriors and the Gaze of Flames at 750 for 2 arks and the solar pulse. I'd be willing to pass on the wraith pistols and the 9th scarab for a 2nd Solar pulse and a Nightmare Shroud.

I can't pick up a 2nd solar pulse without dropping the Destroyer Lord for a regular Overlord.

I think that it's weird... once I stopped trying to make Spyders fit the list seems to come together. Granted, Spyders make the scarabs better, but they aren't what the list is about. In a real sense, they were kinda in the middle. They were aggressive, but not fast. If I hold them back to increase the durability of the warriors, then they aren't making new scarabs.

A Quick update:
I've played 4 games with my 500 point list

Overlord w/warscythe and CCBarge
2 Lanceteks
2 groups of 5 warriors
8 scarab swarms

I'm sitting at 2-1-1
The wins happening against BT and another necron list (with 3 min warrior squads), the tie against a foot guard (barely!), and the loss against another necron list (with 12 man warrior squads).

A quick unit review:
The overlord on CCbarge is a beast. I'm not even afraid of running him up to most troop choices. The only thing to fear is a power weapon of some type in assault. Rounds he spends chasing the CCBarge is rounds not firing at my troops.
The scarabs are great, as long as they don't go up against things that can ID them or units that have more bases then they do.
My lanceteks have been weak so far. They roll way too many 2's to hit and way too many 1's to wound. It's just not fair.
I am unhappy with the minimum squads of warriors. They just suck.
I also need a better way of dealing with a lot of weak enemies at range.

For my next 250 points, I really need to fill out the troop section, and gain a solar pulse.
