I've been facing such non-sense lately, and finally beat it with an off-beat mission from a GT yesterday, but it took out more than half my army. I don't see much of anything wrong, and a lot of right.

How do you plan to spread out the Court and Z & O?

Ok, list break down:

Do you have your HQ's?
Yes

Do you have the required troops?
Yes, the block of 20 with a res orb in it and supported by a pair of Ghost Arks is going to be really difficult to take down.

Do you have a way to deal with transports?
Yes, the Annibarge will do well there, so will the monolith and Obyron and the Lychguard, the Lancetek will help there too.

Do you have a way to deal with AV14?
Yes, and no.. You only have a single Lancetek and 1 warscythe. I don't think that this is enough to reliably deal with AV14.

Do you have anti-assault?
Yes, Lychguard are great.

Can you reliably kill power armor?
I think so. Between the Annibarges and shooting from Ghost Arks you should be able to take out most marines.

How many kill points?
11 if deployed sensibly.

Concerns:
Other than Obyron, your army is SLOW!

You have a lot of points tied up in the Monolith and the Lychguard, and your HQ choices and I don't know if you use them to the best effect.

You also seem to be ignoring 3 of our best units, Scythlord on CCBarge, Scarabs, and Wraiths. Annihilation barges are perfect for this point level... they can really bring the hurt.

More crypteks... if you were running marines, you wouldn't take a unit without a heavy bolter, flamer, melta, missile launcher, etc. Don't take a warrior or immortal unit without a cryptek (or 2 if you can with your HQ's)

Also, that Lychguard+Obyron unit is just dying for a WS/MSS/RO lord attached. 565 points of secsie can be made alot secsier with that 90 point edition. WS lords are just nails in those units, hiding behind those big T5 3+/4++/RP 4+ bodies and throwing out MSS and WS attacks left and right.

1 cryp (storms) is going to be with the Lych for the hand to hand and such. THe other Cryp (Destruction) is going to use the Solar Pulse to help slow down the first round salvo from the enemy hopefully allowing me to move quicker since I will run my Necrons.

Running Necrons just seems wrong but it can be done, W/E.

The reason this list was put together this way is because These are the models I have. I don't have wraiths, I also have some immortals, flayed, anih barge, scarabs, destroyers, and other lords.

WHile it might be slow I am hoping to use the Mono to hopefully port some people into position if needed.

The strategy was also to give one of the A-Barges Tank Hunter to help make it easier to take out tanks with pens from Big Z. Having the BiG Z and the Cryp Harb of Dest in the Huge 20 Mass and having Varg OBr and Cryp Storms with the 9 Lychguards. The monolith can DS closer to the objective if there is one, to allow for my Necs to walk out the door being covered by a Door from Hoover, Blast and 4x3 guns.

First thing I see is that those points don't seem to sink up quite right. The total points of what you have written is 2080 points, however you've also written a unit of 6 warriors + ghost ark as 295 points each. The actual point cost for the unit would be 193 points.

I would reccomend that you drop Obyron, 2 lychguard and the monolith in favor of rounding out your other units a bit. Taking out those will free up a respectable 450 points. I'd alter the list to go a bit like this.

Nemesor 185

Crypteks x3 125
H.o.S x1; w/ lightning field x1
H.o.D x2; w/ solar pulse x1
Lord x1 90
w/ WS; MSS; Res. Orb

Lychguard x7 315
w/ Phase Swords & dispersion shields

Warriors x6 w/ Ghost Ark 193

Warriors x6 w/ Ghost Ark 193

Warriors x20 260

Annihilation Barge 90

Annihilation Barge 90

Annihilation Barge 90

This way you can attach the H.o.S to the 20 warriors blob. both of the H.o.D to the ghost ark warrior squads and the lord to the lychguard to make them a hard unit to take down.
This list I wrote is actually 219 points short of 1850. So depending on what you have available. I'd fill the rest with either another squad of 5 warriors + ark + H.o.D cryptek or scarabs + 3 destroyers.
