My friends and I are planning on starting a 500 point escalation league. In the league we have Tau, CSM, SW (missile spam), Horde Orks, Chaos Demons, Eldar, Grey Knights and another Necron Player. (basically everything under the sun)
Starting off at 500 points, trying to make it TAC as possible, please be liberal with the C&C!!!!!

Destroyer lord 160 (SW, MSS, WS)
Annihilation Barge w/ Tesla 90
Annihilation Barge w/ tesla 90
x6 Warriors 78
x6 Warriors 78

Total 496

The idea is to advance the barges and lay down torrents of fire on my enemies, while keeping my troops safe. The D-lord can either fly up the field, relying on that T6 and +2 armor, or keep my warriors out of harm's way so I have a chance in objective games.
Ideally, I'd like to make the d-lord scoring via warlord rules, but thats up to the dice.
Ideas?

Also, for escalation to 750 points, add in a 6-man wraith unit with x3 whip coils, plus the odd warrior here and there

Looks nasty the only thing can see giving you problems is a true green tide as at 500pts Orks can be quite scary IG are also nasty at low points but you didn't say you were fighting them so Orks should be the only true horde you have to worry about.

Why thank you sir, glad it seems like a good idea thusfar. I would suppose the A-barges could help with hordes at least, stick the warriors in buildings and hope for the best lol.

Anyone else for the good of the metal cause?

I would swap out the D lord for a barge lord not much can deal with 3 AV 13 tanks at 500 points it would thin out your troops even more but still i think it would be worth it
