Interesting list, I'd like to hear how it does.

Couple of suggestions:

a) The lords have too much kit - dump the phase shifters and use the points for more wraiths. Remember that the lords are characters and can be challenged out - thats a LOT of points on a 1 wound model.

b) For the destroyers I suggest you group the Heavy destroyers together and the normal destroyers together. The main reason is because of the range differentials - the heavy destroyers can lurk in the backfield, but the normal destroyers need to get closer. Also, Heavy destroyers are more anti tank, whereas the destroyers are more anti infantry, so by separating you can focus on appropriate targets.

hth

I dont really know what to cut for it (or them) but i find triarch stalkers to be really good with destroyers.

The mobillity of the destroyers + their range allows them to basically always hit the twin-linked target.

True, but as you say it is is a lot of points to find.

Thinking about it - destroyers have PE, so you are rerolling 1's to hit anyway - probably not worth the extra points to reroll the 2's.

well its not like the destroyers are the only units getting twin linked...

also if i had to choose between a 150 point lord, or a 13 front armor walker that can twin link my army, id know what to pick.

True.

And if you manage to light up a flyer with it - well, that would just be too bad for the flyer with all those warriors around.

If you take a stalker though, make the immortals tesla. tesla loves being twin linked.
