My list so far is as follows-

HQ (2/2) = 540pts:
2 x Overlord + Gauntlet of Fire + Resurrection Orb + Mindshackle Scarabs + Sempiternal Weave = 310pts
2 x Harbinger of the Storm + Lightning Field = 35pts
2 x Harbinger of Destruction + Gaze of Flames = 45
2 x Harbinger of Destruction = 35

TROOPS (3/6) = 510pts
10 Tesla Immortal = 170pts
10 Tesla Immortal = 170pts
10 Tesla Immortal = 170pts

FAST ATTACK (1/3) = 270pts
6 Canoptek Wraith + 6 Whip Coils = 270

HEAVY SUPPORT (2/3) = 180pts
2 Annihilation Barges /w Gauss Cannon = 180pts

TOTAL: 1,500pts

Don't know too much about my opponent, glimpsed him playing low point games a couple of times and I believe he played mostly infantry in those games. Both times I say him engaged in assaults (ironically enough he wiped the floor with the Necron player in that game and lost the assault against the Tau in the second, but that player's Tau are somehow ridiculously lucky in melee so I shouldn't be that surprised ).

After skimming the DE codex I figured I'd better be keeping out of assaults as much as possible, so I decided to field two "hard nut" Immortal squads to pound front and center, each boasting a Rezorb overlord with the gauntlet of stay the f**k away from me, an LF stormtek and a GoF destructek (should score me around 6-7 unsaved overwatch wounds against most DE infantry squads if they assault before the first blow is struck). Third squad sits back around an objective taking pot shots at anything in range (hopefully if it's an objective game I'll be able to place one somewhere defensible that's within shooting range of the action), ABs do their thing and Wraiths are on counter-charge duty.

I'll be proxying my deathmarks for Immortals as well as ten of my Warriors (leaves me with 15 unused Warrior models), my Ghost Ark busted its pylon so I'll need to apply some green stuff before it's back into action, got 11 Scarab bases, 5 Lychguards, two Lords, a Destroyer Lord and one extra Cryptek I'm not using.

Thoughts?

You are going to want to shave off a lot of points from your HQ's, drop a whole Overlord and his court
Get another Annihilation Barge
Use the warriors as warriors in a 15-man squad, maybe give them a basic lord with WS/MSS to babysit them

Don't have a third barge, and I can't use the extra warriors as warriors- I have to field them as Immortals or drop one of the Immortal squads and field all my warrior models as warriors instead.

In a month or so I'll be getting two more boxes of Immortals, two boxes of Tomb Blades and two Nightscythes, but until then what I wrote in the last paragraph is a list of ALL my unused models.

List worked admirably- won by a landslide and would've probably tabled the guy if the game had stretched on another couple of turns.

Fun fact- DE don't do so hot vs Tesla.

Congrats on the win. A suggestion for your A-Barges. Since you should always be moving them to get a Jink save, equip them with the Tesla Cannon instead of Gauss. The reason for this is when you move any weapons fired past the first need a 6 to hit...might as well take advantage of the Tesla rule while you're at it.
