This is a list I'm working on for the 2015 youngbloods tournament. Let me know what you think.

Overlord (Staff of Light, Sempiternal Weave, Phase Shifter, Resurrection orb) 180
Lord (Staff of Light, Sempiternal Weave, Resurrection Orb) 80
Harbinger of Destruction (Eldritch lance) 35

Troops:
20 Warriors 260
20 Warriors 260
10 Immortals 170
Night Scythe 100

Fast Attack:
6 Wraiths (3xWhip Coils) 240

Heavy Support: Doomsday Ark 175
Total: 1500

It's a good start. A couple of suggestions.

I'd trim the Immortals to 5, give them a veil tek instead of the NS, and get a GA to go with your bricks. You can also drop some of those Whip Coils, I personally only ever run one or two per squad.

With the rest of your extra points, I would recommend any of the following, depending on play style:

1.) Solar Pulse on the Lancetek. Who doesn't like a turn of army wide Stealth?

2. ) Phaeron/WS/MSS on the OLord. Now one of your bricks can be the aggressor and has some real CC teeth.

Other then that, it's a pretty solid core to the Silver Tide.

Oh, just noticed this, but if you don't CC up the OLord, the at the very least Zandrehk him. He's basically the same guy you already have, accept 5 points cheaper and can throw out buffs and debuffs. Good add. And his phased reinforcements can give you some solid strategic options with the aforementioned Veiltek+Immortals squad.

If I drop the night scythe, where would my flyer defense be? Also, I know I sound stupid, but what do you mean when you say bricks?

I think he meant to run the immortals out of the night scythe, but keep it in your list.

The doomsday ark is pretty terrible for competitive play. I would run it as a ghost ark and squeeze in more crypteks or something.

I need some heavy support and I have about 200 points left over. What should I take?

A. Barges are dirt cheap and dead lethal. Spyders are great if you have a decent unit of scarabs that they can boost.

Here's my revised list:
HQ: Nemesor Zahndrekkh 185
Lord (Staff of Light, Sempiternal Weave, Resurrection Orb) 80
Harbinger of Destruction (Eldritch lance, solar pulse) 55

Troops:
20 Warriors 260
20 Warriors 260
10 Immortals 170
Night Scythe 100

Fast Attack:
6 Wraiths (3xWhip Coils) 240

Elites: Triarch Stalker
Total: 1500

I just read the faq, and Night Scythes lost deep strike. Is this a major problem?
