Scoring: 5pts for each square occupied Bonus: 10 pts for holding more than 4-5 squares, 15 pts for holding entire board.
Sounds like a fun tournament! Re your list, given the missions, I'd probably consider dropping the fast attack altogether. Certainly, three wraiths is a bit light by all accounts.
If you drop the wraiths and scarabs you could, with a little bit of jiggling, get another ghost ark and an anni barge (not sure if you have enough models?)
Logic for this is:
In the first mission having scoring units which are mobile will be key, so having another ghost ark will be helpful once you have eggs.
In the second mission you could use both ghost arks to soften up targets for thhq to kill.
In the 3rd mission you'll have greater protection for the warriors and will be able to create an av13 (for a while anyway) wall. Plus, the ghost ark arrays can fire at two different units.
The anni barge - well it's tesla which may be helpful against many things. Also it can support the CCB.
If you didn't want the anni, how about MSS and phase shifter for the Olord, or a destructek with pulse to make it night.
I did consider what you're suggesting but I do not have the models. I do plan to get another barge, so if I get it in time I use it. Players ay my store tend to have mech lists tend hence the scarabs. So drop wraiths, then destructek and buff scarabs?

Death is for quitters and Jaws of the World Wolf is for pansies
Yep, if you don't have the models, drop the wraiths, get a destructek and increase the scarabs. I also suggest you change the immortals to Tesla, because they can move and shoot further. Also because..well Tesla.
(actually I haven't got my codex. Are the gauss blasters still rapid fire?)
