Imotehk isn't very good on a CCB as he has no warscythe. Praetorians aren't as good in 5th as they probably will be in 6th.

Thanks. So ditch the ccb and the praetorians. what would you put in their place?

I think you need to focus it a bit more, seems like you're just trying a little bit of everything lol. Maybe make the wraiths squad 6? And at 2500pts is only 15 troops in 3 squads going to be enough? Just my thoughts but might be wrong haha

Agree with LordTyphus on the CCB.

What were you planning to do with the Praetorians? I don't have wraiths, but in other lists with only 3, the comment is that they will not last long. So, obvious replacement for the Praetorians (assuming you wanted fast counter assault) - more wraiths.

Actually, how were you thinking of playing the list you have?

It looks a bit like a TremorTek list but if so, you probably need another Crucible.

you have Imotekh, who makes it night fighting, but then you have a Stalker as well. Was the stalker to help the monoliths?

Then you have monoliths, so you have the ability to suck your troops (is that the correct term??) across the field as well.

Perhaps we could be more specific if you gave us a quick idea of the way you are planning on playing the list.

hth a bit?

best way to describe what i am i was thinking when i built the list
Monoliths i own the 3 of the damn things from old necron army that a friend traded me, figured might as well use them. My two major opponents aren't very smart and i was planning on using the monoliths as a distraction to keep the shots of the rest of the army.

Stalker- i was thinking of using to deal with some the heavy armour that i normally face.

The rest is like markcron suggested very close to the tremortek idea.

I tend to normally play very aggressively either templating or hth my opponents to death.. My primary army is an leafblower ig list that hasn't lost yet to an opponent .

The "I have it so I might as well use it" method of building army lists has rarely translated to effectiveness.

So much of your list... doesn't make much sense (eg. Imotekh in a Command Barge).
However, luckily there have been plenty of good suggestions have been made already, so I shalln't repeat them... except one

MarkCron wrote:more wraiths.

I think putting the advice together you should drop the ccb, praetorians, maybe stalker and one lith

Go for 2 units of full wraiths and one big scarab squad, more crypteks, maybe more troops if points allow. If you do drop a lith maybe get an ani barge, save a lot of points.

I like the idea of a list that puts the enemy in a storm and risky to move lol, hope it works for you!

Looks good, but have you had to drop the ww ctan? Or am I just completely missing it lol?

your not blind, I forgot the ctan which i can make room for by pulling upgrades and one of the troops. are gauss blaster or telsa carbines better for the imortals?

Without the Writhing Worldscape C'tan, Orikan is no longer as useful... that and your Tremor-teks went from auto-include to just okay.

Definitely get the ctan back in as skoffs pointed out its a big part of the list.

If you're using imotekh with guass imortals then you get phaeron (spelling?), otherwise stick with tesla
