The one change I have been thinking of making is swapping out the Praetorian unit with an equal amount of Wraiths with whips allowing me to drop the Resorb on the destroyer lord and give my lords war scythes to make sure they win challenges in one turn however without the Praetorians that cuts deeply into my TEQ killing power. The other thing im concerned about is the amount of scoring units seeing as some of the Eternal War Missions can have up to 5 objectives
Thanks for reading

Surely someone must have an opinion on my list

1) More troop squads. You need them to capture objectives.
2) In my opinion, Necron Warrior squads should have 10 men minimum in order to reduce the risk of the entire squad being knocked down in one phase.

So I dropped the Deathmark Squad along with the despairtek and used the remaining points to bring the group of 5 warriors up to a group of 10 put them in a scythe and give both lords warscythes to make absolutely sure they will win just about any challenge thrown at them. What does Dakka think enough Troops now?

Any particular reason why you gave a 10 man warrior squad a scyth? Seems to me that is perfect for a ghost ark! PLus it could creep right next to the larger warrior squad and rebuold any fallen warriors.

Also, why did the immortals get a scyth? I always thought a scyth was for zooming up fast! The immortals always seemed to me to be slow advance and lay down suppressing fire. they wont get a chance to in a scyth! thats a hundred points you could use towards I would say another squad of warriors. 4 troops in 2000 points is mandatory isnt? if it isnt its not a bad idea..since they capture objectives!

hope this helps.

I was thinking with all the new flyer rules and lack of sky fire that getting as many scythes on the board would be good. I put the immortals in a scythe so they could get up to mid field as quickly as possible and then use the lord with his 2+ save to negate most shooting at them and in the event he did fall he does have a 3+ reanimation protocols. I also just checked my rulebook 2k points is the start of the double FoC chart so Ill have some tweaking to do, probably going to end up with 2 squads of warriors and 2 of immortals. What do you guys think of the Destroyer lord unit worth the points for a TEQ killer or should I reinvest my points elsewhere and just drown any 2+ armor save in giant amounts of Dakka?

I'd consider putting the Dlord in with a unit of 6 Wraiths. Wraiths with Preferred Enemy and Rending is vile on the table and will give you a good amount of anti-TEQ.
