Came up with a new list and plan that I was hoping people could give me some tips on, pick it apart at your desire. My friend mainly plays nids so was basing it around him.

Command Unit
Overlord (180)
-Warscythe
-MSS
-Phase Shifter
-Res Orb
-Tesseract Labyrinth
5 Lychguard (200)
-Warscythes
Cryptek (60)
-Veil of Darkness

Main Army
4*10 Warriors (520)
2 Ghost Arks (230)
2 Triarch Stalkers (310)
-Particle Shredder

(1500)

My plan was to have a warrior unit with each ark and the same for the stalkers. The arks would move forward to hold objectives whilst the stalker/warrior combos would target any threatenning swarmy groups, taking advantage of twin linking. The Overlord/Lych/Cryptek would teleport up and go up against the big guys (hive tyrant etc)

I understand that I should tesla is better for Horde armies for obvious reasons but the extra models will help in my opinion. I also think that the potential extra hits gained from tesla will likely be lost at AP-, plus I like the uniformity

Also noticed the list has no heavy support or fast attack choices and not sure how I would work around this or implement some

Thanks in advance!

Good list.

Overlord/Lychguard unit isn't going to be able to assault on the turn you Veil over, so be aware of that. Most opponents will learn fast, if they don't already know, about the MSS. They might ignore the unit or put a trash unit into them. Oh, drop the Tesseract Labryinth, you have MSS and a Warscythe.

The 2 Arks are good, but combine the 2 Squads on the ground into 1. 10 man Warrior squads won't last long outside of an Ark or w/o character support. You could also drop one of the Stalkers if you needed points.

No Fast Attack is fine, but freeing up the 90 pts for an Anni Barge would be good. Dropping that 2nd Stalker and 2-3 Warriors from the Ground Squad if you combine them will easily get you 2 of them.
