I'm going for a new approach with my crons and eschew any real CC units. It has mobility and firepower but obviously vulnerable to CC so any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

HQ: 335
Overlord (160): Warscythe, Sempiternal Weave, MSS, Tachyon Arrow

Court: 175
5 Destruction Crypteks (175)

Troops: 705
10 Warriors (245):
Ghost Ark
10 Warriors (230)
Nightscythe
10 Warriors (230)
Nightscythe

Heavy Support: 355
Doom Scythe (175)
Annihilation Barge (90)
Annihilation Barge (90)

Fortifications: 100
Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

Total: 1495

I'd drop the arrow, the chances of it doing something are rather low.
At the start of the game, you don't have a lot on the table.Lotta toys in this army

you'd have a ghost arc, two annihilation barges, and your HQs

shooting would be strong between the barges and the doom scythe, a smart opponent knocks your barges out turn 1/2 and then focuses the doom scythe after it gets its first shot off

Aegis line plus night scythes make great AA defense.

3 flyers at 1500 is nasty

Assuming the destroteks are manning the gun, consider a cheaper cryptek to man the gun. Maybe even a lord to give them some toys/durability/CC punch.

Thanks for the replies. The overlord is with the court and going to man the gun. He's a pretty good assault deterrent and with the arrow can take a pot shot at any AV 14.

I hear you about the fact that the army is essentially bifurcated but it plays well generally with my units focused on a flank and my flayers cause disruption when they eventually come in. Im open to thoughts about a unit to add to the deployment force though.
