Trying out a Necron army. What do you guys think of a list like this? I'd like a list that can compete in either maelstrom or eternal war missions, leaning towards being better at eternal war if anything.

Overlord on CCB with MSS, Warscythe, Phase Shifter, Res Orb - 270
Destroyer Lord with MSS - 145

5 Immortals w/Night Scythe - 185
5 Immortals w/Night Scythe - 185
5 Warriors w/Night Scythe - 165

6 Wraiths - 210
6 Wraiths - 210
6 Wraiths - 210

Annihilation Barge - 90
Annihilation Barge - 90
Annihilation Barge - 90

That's 1850 on the nose. Thinking about trying to switch things up to grab a Ghost Ark with warriors inside, but I'd have to change the immortals to warriors and lose 10 points of upgrades from a Lord, or 75 points if I want a 10-strong squad inside the Ark. Alternatively I could down-grade the immortals to give the Lords a 2+ regular save but I wonder where the points might be best spent.

It's a wraithwing, except you swapped a destrolord for the overlord on CCB.

It will do fine, particularly in eternal war. It isn't great for maelstrom or maelstrom style missions because your objective secured troops are locked up in scythes which will come in when they want.

That means in a maelstrom mission, you'll have to work a bit harder to capture objectives with OS troops on them. Shouldn't be disastrously hard, but you'll have to be very careful with positioning of the wraith groups to make sure you can get to the objectives.

If you wanted to make it better from a maelstrom perspective then dump a wraith unit. Swap it for 5 warriors in a GA (180pts) with the remaining 30 points, swap the other warrior NS for a GA (15 pts left) - which you need for weave on the Destroyer lord.
