Ah, yes, thanks (everyone) for the correction on the Ghost Ark.
Looks like the only vehicle 'Crons would be able to bring would be a Stalker... but as that would only leave 50 points left over foir the rest of the army, you wouldn't be able to take a leader+specialists, so that wouldn't work either.
*sigh*
So much for hoping for variety. Looks like it's just gonna be Wraiths & Deathmarks after all...

Good luck ever getting slay the Warlord. Heck, I'm about 90% convinced that the Acanthrite is the reason FW wasn't allowed in Kill Team in the first place. The reason for the slightly odd picks of specialists was to both do more damage overall and also to let the Acanthrite choose instant death, fleshbane or rage when it gets the right warlord trait.

If not using FW, just default back to the Necron list everyone settles on with 3 Wraiths and 5 Deathmarks. I think the old 5 Wraiths with Particle Casters probably still functions but you'll have a tough time stopping things escaping the board in that one mission.
... How are you getting a single Acanthrite in that list? I thought they had a unit minimum of 3. For 150 points, that doesn't leave any points left over to afford anything else (though, you'd be able to get a 4th Acanthrite).

Ah rats, you're right. I just assumed they'd be like Wraiths but checking again it is min 3. Damn, there goes that plan entirely then, 4 Acanthrites is really weak when two of the missions demand assaulty hordes. Back to Wraiths then....

There's GOTTA be some way Necrons can do this other than merely resorting to 3 Wraiths+5 Deathmarks.
Some kind of compromise with Scarabs and Warriors so we can attempt a mob? (or, actually, if assaulting > shooting in Kill Teams, would Flayed Ones be better than Warriors in this case?)
9x Scarabs
5x Warriors/Flayed Ones
That's 32 wounds on the table for 200 points on the dot.
Question is, would they be any good?
(compared to that CSM list with Spawn and Cultists, probably not)

Hmm, perhaps the Dark Harvest list might be worth considering?
10 Flayed Ones (+ Flensing Scarabs) : 130+10
4 Canoptek Scarabs : 60
Not as many wounds as the other way around, but is somewhat killy, no?
