Been trying to come up with a good solid list. So critiques are absolutely welcome.

HQ

Nemesor Zahndrekh -185pts
Royal Court w/ 1 Harbinger of Destruction -35pts

Elites
5x Deathmarks -95pts

Troops

5x Necron Warriors w/ Night Scythe -165pts
5x Necron Warriors w/ Night Scythe -165pts
5x Necron Warriors w/ Night Scythe -165pts

Fast Attack
3x Canoptek Scarab Bases -45pts

Heavy Support
Annihilation Barge w/ Gauss Cannon -90pts
Annihilation Barge w/ Gauss Cannon -90pts
3x Canoptek Spyders w/ Fabricator Claw Arrays -180pts

Lord of War
Tesseract Vault w/ Seismic Assault, Wave of Withering -635pts

The main tactic is to use Zahndrekh to give the Tesseract Vault tank hunter and obliterate enemy vehicles and super heavys with seismic assault. Wave of withering is mostly for close in defense as the Tesseract Vaults main weakness is getting smashed in assault. The Spyders will follow behind the Vault to repair damage done to it every turn. Zahndrekh will likely be place out of line of sight and camping an objective that is out of my opponents way.

Most of the list revolves around the Tesseract Vault. In the games that I've used it the Vault has managed to single handedly mangle my opponents army. So now i am wondering how it will do if you support it properly.

Bumps for the Bump God!
Posts for the thread throne!

But seriously I take it that it is not half bad. Or it is rubbing peeps the wrong way.

It is for a no holds bar environment where people that will face will not get upset by it. So that is something right?

Is the tesseract vault really worth it? I think tracendent ctan is a better call

I think you meant trancendant ctan. If so then yea it's a super mean list.

I think you have the right idea with the list you have, repair options, mobile capturing units, a tremendous amount of aa.

So far yes it has.

Also I'm planning on bringing this list to Adepticon. An as of right now the Transcendent C'tan is band. So I have to go with the Vault.

If you want the T. C'tan to be legal at Adepticon send an email here info@adepticon.org
and make your opinion known.

Those Deathmarks look like they're not going to be doing a lot, since the Cryptek can't DS with them, finding points for a Nightscythe would do wonders for them.

Other than that...not much to say. Obviously the (dirty) T. C'tan is better than the Vault but if it's banned then fair do's. My only concern would be the Scarab bases need bumping up a bit but with three Spyders that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

pretty solid. swap the sythe from the warriors to the deathmarks and you should be set

i would consider swapping out wave of withering also. I run a transcendent pretty often and I love the power on him, but i can't see it being good on the vault. the model is way too big to be able to maneuvre it efficiently where you want to go to nail that template. I'd maybe take sky of falling stars or antimatter meteror. then you can sit back, heal it with the spyders and not have to worry about trying to move it all the time.

Might have to take you up on the advice.

I'm honestly not sure about either the Deathmarks or Scarabs. But I am not sure as to what the army needs to fills those points with.

That could work.

You might be right. I took the wave of withering specifically to torch anything trying to pound the vault down as its biggest weakness is melee. That and drop lists that attempt to alpha strike it. But more ranged guns could be nice too.

2 Spyders should be plenty for repair duty.
I'd drop one and use its points to either bump up the Scarab numbers or throw a Despair-tek into the Deathmark unit (and then stick them all in one of the Night Scythes).
