No, as of the most recent FAQs Anrakyr cannot use his Mind in the Machine special rule whilst embarked on a CCB, so I'd probably drop him and instead take a standard Overlord on a Barge with a Warscythe.

Also, I pretty certain that you can't have 2 Crypteks in a Royal Court with Veil of Darkness. I'll go and check my codex in a second and change this if I'm wrong.

I had been told that but I couldn't find it in the necron faq am i just being blind where is it, in regard to the cryptek i thought i could have 2 veils as long as they are in separate courts

Its in the main rulebook FaQ. Abilities that require line of sight can't be used from within a vehicle.

I'd consider swaping the Chronometron Tek for for Destruction Tek with the Warrior squad to add some much needed anti-tank. As all your AT is based on close combat and that can cause real problem against certain lists i.e. Grey Knights, Rhino spam Blood Angels, Mech Orks, or basically anything mechanised that can either stay away from you or wants to assault you.

OK well ill drop anrakyr and replace with an overlord with war scythe which leaves me with 60 points to play with could put in 2 destruction teks
