alright so I'm building a pirate necron army, and every army starts with a list. here's what I've got so far:

HQ
Captain Jack Teach (overlord): warscythe, sempertinal weave, mindshackle scarabs, catacomb command barge: 210

Ann the siren (destroyer lord): warcythe, sempertinal weave, mindshackle scarabs: 155

"the below deck crew" (royal court): 4x harbingers of desruction: 140

TROOPS
"Rackham's raiders" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

"mess #5" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

"the keel haulers" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

"the tell no tales brigade" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

FAST ATTACK:
"the siren's choir (5 wraiths): 3x whip coils: 205

HEAVY SUPPORT
"ol' thumper" (annihilation barge)

"smokey Joe" (annihilation barge)

"the commodore" (doomsday cannon)

as always C&C are very welcome.

fast and deadly problem is this would work better for dark eldar but this is fine i guess

Personally whenever I run ghost arks, especially with only 1 court, I prefer harbingers of the storm over destruction. They are more reliable for taking on vehicles and the range works in better synergy with the arks. Plus against 2+ saves they don't lose too much effectiveness, the only downside is they are worse against high toughness models.

Plus it would free up about 40 points for you which you could use to get another wraith.

Pretty sure your DLord is 5 points too cheap as MSS on the DLord is 20 points.

This is the kind of list that just screams for a Stalker if you can find the room as you have a lot of Gauss fire/doomsday arc that could be twinlinked, not too mention a lot of AV13.

@ ShadarLogoth: you're right, I was mostly working the list from memory of the codex while I was waiting for class to start. also I've added a stalker in called "crustasius maximus" (may change the name to actual latin, we'll see)

@ Punisher: you know harbingers of storm would actually be a bit more fluffier in a pirate list (pirates, sailors, storms, it all works) and I've replaced them.

here's the list as it stands:

HQ
Captain Jack Teach (overlord): warscythe, sempertinal weave, mindshackle scarabs, catacomb command barge: 210

Ann the siren (destroyer lord): warcythe, sempertinal weave, mindshackle scarabs: 160

"the below deck crew" (royal court): 4x harbingers of the storm: 100

ELITES
"Crustacius Maximus" (triarch stalker)

TROOPS
"Rackham's raiders" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

"mess #5" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

"the keel haulers" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

"the tell no tales brigade" (9 warriors in ghost ark): 232

FAST ATTACK:
"the siren's choir (7 wraiths): 3x whip coils: 275

HEAVY SUPPORT
"the commodore" (doomsday cannon)

Wraiths come to a max of 6 per squad
I'd drop the stalker, and go back to the A-barges for sure

Whops my bad. once again making this list from memory because there's barely enough room in my backpack for my textbooks, and definitely not for my codex.
