Hello! I typically play at 2k, which allows me to fit all my toys in but have a severely hard time scaling back my lists. I want a good all-comers list that will play mainly with/against Nids, Tau and all forms of Space Marines in a doubles environment.

I have the following models at my disposal:

3 lords/overlords/whatever HQs
5 whatever crypteks

5 deathmarks
2 triarch stalkers

25 warriors
2 ghost arks

3 wraiths
8 scarabs

2 annihilation/cc barges
1 monolith (shut up )
1 night scythe/doom scythe

I'd love to build the wraiths in if at all possible. If you think I need a destroyer lord, I would not be opposed to acquiring one.

Here's what I was thinking but feel free to spin me in a different direction:

Destroyer Lord w/ MSS (wraiths)

5 Deathmarks in a Night Scythe

5 warriors in a Ghost Ark
5 warriors in a Ghost Ark

5 Scarabs
3 wraiths with whip coils

1 anni barge

Thoughts? Thanks guys!

At 1000 points you should go vehicle heavy...

So lets start with 2 ghost arcs and the night scythe.

330 points.
l
Plan on two units of 9 234
and one unit of 7 91

655

2 Crypteks of despair 60
1 Necron Lord 35
750

1 overlord in a barge 170
920

Then you have 80 points to pump up the lord and overlord.
The other option is to field your 2 stalkers.

655 for 3 vehicles and 25 warriors
300 2 Stalkers.
1 Overlord 90

1045 So sadly you have to drop 5 warriors (assuming you want to give the overlord a sythe). -65 + 10 so 990. Sadly there is no 10 point option for the overlord and I think the warscythe is worth it. If you want to try cheezy, go with a gauntlet of fire and mindshackle scarabs.

So that is vehicles and warriors 655

At low points deathmarks usually works great for me. Put a HoD Cryptek with a veil in the unit and you should be able to kill a powerful enemy unit.

So here's an idea:

Destroyer Lord (with Wraiths)

5 deathmarks in a night scythe

5 warriors in a ghost ark x2

3 wraiths with whip coils

Annihilation barge x2

Puts me at 995. Tweaks, thoughts?

The only actual bad part I see in this list is lack of scoring units. You only have 2...

In my recent tournament lists, x6 wraiths with a destroyer lord worked really well, and is something I would recommend to just about everyone.

I definitely get the lack of scoring units but bear in mind this list won't see play outside of doubles, and everyone that plays tends to bring plenty of scoring units. I want enough firepower to make them regret that.
