Hello all,

Any criticism is welcome!

HQ:
Obyron - 160
Overlord - Phaeron, Tesseract Labyrinth, Res Orb - 185

Troops:
Necron Warriors x10 - 130
Necron Warriors x10 - 130

Elites:
Lychguards x5 - 200

Fast Attack:
Wraiths x3 - 105

Heavy Support:
A-Barge - 90

Total: 1000 points exactly!

Tactics (more are welcome): Obyron joins lychguard and jump around the map taking out easy kills. Overlord goes independent near the warrior phalanx and res orbs them whilst putting decent fire on the main part of opponents army/key targets. Wraiths sneak on the side of the table seeking dug in troops and artillery units. Annihilation barge is the mama bear protecting her cubs from blowing up in shiny metal. She can also hide behind cover as she isn't the biggest bear out there yet she packs a punch!

Thank you for all comments or concerns!

For a casual list, this will likely be fine, but just a few recommendations.

I would drop the Phaeron, TL, and Res Orb, and replace them with a Warscythe, Mind Shackle Scarabs, and a Sempiternal Weave. Reason being is that generally you don't want your Warriors in close combat. Despite having a stat line almost identical to Tactical Marines (which are not that good in close combat either) their initiative 2 really hurts them. Not only will they usually strike last, likely losing at least one or two fellows in the process, they will typically lose combat versus anything that is not a Tau Firewarrior due to their low number of attacks. It's also extremely painful to lose an entire squad to sweeping advance since you likely won't be able to get away.

The Tesseract Labyrinth is an okay item, but for 5 points cheaper you can get MSS, which are not one use only, and are a little more consistent to use. It is always extremely handy to have those on O. Lords especially during challenges.

Res orbs are good, but only pay for themselves in Warrior Squads of at least 15, a full squad of Immortals, or in expensive units like Lychguard and Praetorians. Otherwise its typically a waste of points.

Warscythes are one of the best weapons in the game, especially for their points cost so always take one when you have the points. With a Scythe, MSS, and the Semp Weave giving your O.Lord a 2+ armor save he is going to be tough to kill and actually won't do too bad in close combat. Plus, you can use him to tank wounds for a Warrior Squad. Just look-out-sir anything AP2 or lower.

Great advice! Thanks!
