here we go

HQ

necron overlord,weave, phase shifter, tachion arrow, warsythe=190pts

destroyer lord,weave, tachion arrow,mindshackle scarabs= 190pts

necron lord,weave,warsythe= 70pts

380pts

elites

5 lychguards with dispertion shields=225pts

225pts

troops

15 warriors 195pts
15 warriors 195pts
15 warriors 195pts

585pts

fast attack

5 wraiths with whip coils=225pts

6 scarabs= 90pts

5 destroyers= 220pts

1 monolith= 200pts

2005pts


note: i dont have any new stuff except the lynchguards and overlord

I will put the wraiths with the necron destroyer and then go tank hunting

I will use the lynchguards as bodyguards for my overlord and this is brilliant for ani-infantry fights

I will put the necron lord with the necron warriors so they have a chance of fighting in cc

is there anything wrong with this army list? i want to improve on the way i play

suggestions???

Make both overlords phaeron if your going to run this list, so 2 blocks of warriors will get relentless (move and shoot at full 24" range). drop the other lord and give both overlords phaeron/res orb.

I am not a fan of tachyon arrow but can see it's use.
I would also consolidate your warriors into 2 blocks of 20, and have a reserve 5 troops to grab objectives late in game without being shot up.

I am guessing you don't have any heavy destroyers or drop a destroyer and make some of those heavy.

As a side not 6 scarabs at 2000 point level are just going to be fodder. You need to make sure you focus your list around an idea.

I am not making any recommendations on adding items because I think you are trying to make a list from what you have.

I would also drop weave in favor of mindshakle scarabs.

yes, give me a few and ill try to give you an idea on something list wise that might run a little better but I will leave as many scarabs in (just thinking less than 10 is not ideal at 2k+ point games)

This would work with pretty much the same models but a more synergized list. I don't think this is the best the codex can do but without buying anything this list will probably be a better synergy with the stuff you own and 5th edition rules.

On a Canoptek Spyder's Waiting List




AZ

I would give only 2 or 3 of the Wraiths Whip Coils as you want to be able to allocate wounds to the ones without when you get shot out of combat, otherwise you just wasted 20 or 30 points because they will die before then. Also I don't think the Destroyer Lord can take a Tachyon Arrow.

Also in regards to the Transdimensional Beamer, I ran that in my tournament list over the weekend, being a heavy I never really got to use it and out of the 4 shots it did make not a single one failed the strength test.

As our bodies are armoured with Adamantium, our souls are protected with our loyalty. As our bolters are charged with death for the Emperor's enemies, our thoughts are charged with his wisdom. As our ranks advance, so does our devotion, for are we not Marines? Are we not the chosen of the Emperor, his loyal servants unto death?

To admit defeat is to blaspheme against the Emperor.

I put transidmensional beamer in for wound allocation since they all have 2w.

it's not because it is the most useful, just as wound allocations.

very nice runnymouth. how could you use 2 overlords 1 is joined to the lynchguards what will the other overlord do?

and ive heard that the res orb isnt that good anymore it used to but as it only does a 4+ instead of 5+ for reanamon protocols is it worth getting?

I'll have to check the Dex, but I'm pretty sure it says "Any of the following" not "Any one of the following," so for the same price as the TD you could give the same wraith a WC and a PC. Probably more effective that way.

I run Obyron and Zahndreck, put Zahndreck with the Lychguard and deep strike him inside the Monolith, if anyone decides to charge them Obyron pops up and kicks ass. Warriors do their bit but I put them in the Ghost Arks so they can shoot out without being caught in combat.
