Ok 3rd time lucky hopefully with this Necron 1500 pointer. Would love opinions and feedback.

Hq
1x overlord w, war scythe & Command Barge
1x lord w, orb

Troops
20x warriors
5x warriors w, ghost ark
5x warriors w, ghost ark

Fast Attack
6 wraiths w, 5x whip coils
3x scarabs

Heavy Support
2x annihilation Barges
3x tomb Spyders

Ok so the lord and his orb will be with the 20 man blob, the 2 ghost arks can go for nearest objectives. While 2 barges / catacomb barge and the wraiths all push forward leaving those nasty spiders spawning me some more scarabs at the back.

Feedback is much appreciated. Thanks

No one?

Nah, looks decent.
Maybe drop a couple of Whip Coils from the Wraiths to give your Overlord MSS and your ResOrb-Lord a Gauntlet of Fire?

I like the mindshackles idea but not sure about the g of fire? Staff of light seems like a winner to me

Gauntlet lets him do something besides flail in CC with the tradeoff of not being able to kill roughly 1 meq a turn, the gauntlets flamer can still do damage to most things and gives more reliable overwatch.

Imo I would drop the ccb and lord all together and just give the olord the orb so you can take some more scarabs and kit out the olord a bit more, maybe buy a GA for the 20 man blob for repair goodness since you said the other GAs would be going over to camp objectives. This is just more suitable for my playstyle though so you may want to keep the ccb if you like it more

you can get rid of the lord for a stormtek that will wreck in cc and if you get rid of those spyders i think you have enough for a nightscythe and five warriors

I think 5 whipcoils is a bit excessive. In my wraith units of 6 wraiths, I only use 3 whipcoils, and put them in formation where the non-whipcoil wraiths will take hits rather than the ones with the coils

Careful that your three scarab bases aren't deleted by alpha strike (drop pods, orbital, IG, Doomsday Ark, Riptide, TF cannons etc) as any player that has such weapons will go for a very easy first blood and kill your farm before it has started. I think to do even a small farm you really want two units of scarabs to potentially add to.
