Have a local tourney next week and this is the list I came up with-

HQ (1/2) = 265pts
Overlord + Resurrection Orb + Sempiternal Weave + Warscythe =145pts
3 Harbingers of Destruction = 105pts
Harbinger of the Storm = 25pts

TROOPS (4/6) = 365pts
10 Immortal (Gauss) = 170pts
5 Warrior = 65pts
5 Warrior = 65pts
5 Warrior = 65pts

DEDICATED TRANSPORTS = 100pts
Night Scythe = 100pts

FAST ATTACK (2/3) = 390pts
6 Canoptek Wraiths + 3 Whipcoils = 240pts
5 Tomb Blades + Shadowlooms = 150pts

HEAVY SUPPORT (3/3) = 380pts
2 Annihilation Barges = 180pts
Doom Scythe = 200pts

TOTAL: 1,500pts

Rules are WYSIWYG, Fast attack are scoring and worth a kill point, mission is an objective games with 3 objectives per player (one provides skyfire and is worth 1 point, one halves charge distance against the holding unit and is worth 2 points and one provides +1 cover and explodes each turn with a S4 AP- large blast and is worth 3 points), first blood, slay the warlord and linebreaker.

Deployments are along the wide table edges, night fighting rules and game length are standard, warlord traits are rolled for normally.

I'm thinking to go with a hard hitting rapid strike force- my Warrior squads would be holding objectives that don't explode (one staying near the exploding objective for a last turn seizing) and taking pot shots at stuff with their attached harbingers, the ABs, TBs and Wraiths would be moving fast across the board to draw attention and wreak havoc (the latter two are great wound sponges and all three pack a serious punch), the DS will be zooming in for some deathray goodness and the Immortals in the NS are going to be zoomed out into someone's face (preferably an unsuspecting high value vehicle to gank with the stormtek's 12" 4 shot haywire staff or some poor insufficiently armored infantry squad)

Got 10 spare telsa immortals, 10 more Warriors, 3 more crypteks, an extra overlord (also warscythe), two lords (one with warscythe and one with staff of light), a ghost/doomsday ark, a destroyer lord, 10 deathmarks, 5 lychguards and 10 scarabs.

How does it look?

Yep, looks pretty decent.
I would have been tempted to have the Immortals footslog with a Destruc-tek (with gaze of flame. added to Tesla immortals makes a great unit for taking and holding objectives), then stuck a unit of 5 Warriors in the Nightscythe with the Storm-tek. But this way works, too.

If you want to scale this up to 1750/1850/2000, it looks like you've got everything needed to make viable additions, too.

Almost forgot I've got a pair of regular lords and a C'Tan Shard.

Yeah I agree with Skoffs, it's pretty solid.

The way your using the Immortals+Overlord squad, I would recommend scrounging up the points to get MSS, Phaeron, and maybe the anti assault thingy for your Stormtek. Turns the unit into a pretty legit assault threat, which could be useful as you'll be playing pretty up close and personal with it anyway.

Other then that, not much to add.

Oh, and Doom Scythe is 175 right?

yeah doom scythe is wrong, also pretty sure your not aloud to post point values of individual units

and the small squads of warriors without the protection of scythes is a bit scary

No, in the case where you're posting an army list and there's only a single model/bare minimum number of models in a unit, it's fine to list the point cost (though, only for the total points cost of the unit, so don't list the individual points for each upgrade they take. that's where the no-no comes in).

For the Warriors, this is a common 5th tactic, seeing as how the Destruc-tek has 36" range, the hope is to keep them out harms way and take pot shots at opportune targets.
