So far I really like this I just can't decide what to spend the rest of the points on.

I really don't want to take Ghost Arks or Annihilation barges as the ghost ark doesn't really provide any real support and the annihilation barge IMO is just trash. Help please!

Why Trazyn? In my experience, he's just not that great. Empathic Obliterator is just not all that likely to get off, so his only real upside is that he's scoring. If you want some CC ability in with your Deathmarks, throw in Obyron.

I also vastly prefer Immortals over Warriors. Warriors don't commit much and are too fragile with a 4+ save.

Doomsday Arks - I'm a take or leave on this, but if you're going to go with one, you may as well go for two.

A couple Spyders and a unit or two of Scarabs will go a long way.

Lastly just flesh out with more Troops choices and DestroCrypteks.

I just like that Trazyn counts as scoring so the Deathmarks are more of a threat because they can now claim objectives. Also he's a phaeron so if they get a bad scatter they can still fire.

I like immortals too but really the warriors are just cheap wounds for the Crypteks. What do you usually run with your immortals as far as lord vs. Crypteks?

Warriors are better, if you want to run large blocks and support with Ghost Arks. You can also do Warriors if you only want 5 and are sticking them in a Night Scythe.

I tend to run Immortals so that there are at least 9 total models in the unit (7 Immortals + 2 Crypteks). If you can go to 13, that will work too (10 Immortals + 2 Crypteks + IC). Units with a number that is a factor of 4 + 1 (5/9/13/etc) allow you to minimize the morale tests you have to take from enemy shooting.

Ok so here's the updated list.

Does this look pretty good? I know some people don't like the harps but I like them in this list because I don't have many threats to Av14 and they can give the lances a chance to get through as well as allowing for the immortals to be able to penetrate against lower AV targets. I also considered dropping the lords for 2 Harbingers of Eternity with chronometron to put in with the harps to increase their chances of success in which case the overlord and Nemesor would go into the immortal units so they could benefit from the reroll on their RP rolls if they need to.
