Annihilation Barge /w Tesla Cannon = 90pts
3 Canoptek Spyders (2 Twin-Linked Particle Beamers + 1 Fabricator Claw Array + Gloom Prism) = 225pts

Total 2500pts


The Stormlord and Nemesor both go with the warrior blob center field, joined with the gaze of flames destructek. 4 Destructeks hitch a ride inside the Ghost Ark trailing the warrior blob. Annihilation Barges on the flanks.

Immortals sit rear objectives with one harptek each, taking infinite range entropic shots at enemy armor. The extra destructek goes to the one closer to the action, hopefully getting some shots in with his 36" range.

Varguard gets his boss's pimp ride and goes can-opening, always ready to ghostwalk out of danger if things go south.

Scarab farm hides behind the GA for a couple of turns doing its thing and fixing damaged vehicles with the fabricator claw array if needed. Scarabs are on counter-charge duty until they get to critical mass and go hunting. Spyders follow them around and use their particle beamers whenever they get the chance.

Wraiths either counter-charge a melee centric enemy or go hunting against a shooty enemy.

With Imotekh providing night fighting and lightning strikes and the pulseteks providing clear shooting the first couple of turns should definitely favor the crons, and afterwards you'd just have to keep shooting and weak havoc with the mini-wraithwing and scarab farm.


Alternatively scrap the spyders and scarabs and put in two Triarc Stalkers and an extra 3 warriors instead, or give the stalkers gauss cannons instead of taking the warriors.


Either way this list has plenty of anti-armor to go around, considerable CC protection and quite a bit of firepower all tolled.


Thoughts?

I like it.

I'm not sure about the 2 pulses though. They are really only going to be useful T1 if you go 2nd. I'd be looking at a crucible for one of the Tremorteks instead.

Unless you particularly wanted Zahndrek for the buffing, you could ditch Z&O and replace with an O'Lord, plus an normal Lord with Orb, MSS, scythe. Then the normal lord with orb goes with Imo in the warriors (and then the orb can't get picked out). As a thought, replace the Gaze with a StormTek with lightning just as a bit of extra CC deterrent.

I don't see Stalkers and Imo as an effective synergy - wraiths and spyders work better with Imo.

Edit:to fix my poor typing!

Hmm... Good point about the orblord.
