Hello,
I'm making a plan for bolstering out my necrons for playing them independently (no allies) in larger point games. Any thoughts, feedback or suggestions are welcome

-Stormteks go with the 5 man warrior units in Night scythes
-Despairtek goes with the Deathmarks
-Destructek goes with the 9 man warrior unit in the Ghost Ark
-Destroyer Lord goes with the Wraiths

I'm not sure about the Tomb Blade, the plan is keep him out of LoS and go for objectives quickly late game or in Maelstrom/modified Maelstrom missions. Also can't find anywhere else to spend the 20 points.
To bump the list up to 2k (my local club plays both 1850 and 2000) I'm thinking either a Triarch Stalker with HGC or drop an AB and add some Spyders and Scarabs for a mini-scarab farm.

I'd spend that 20 pts on a pistol for the wraiths instead.

Actually trawling through the army list and looking at upgrades I normally wouldn't bother with, I'm thinking about a Tesseract Labyrinth on the Overlord on CCB (helpful against wraithknights and similar) or a Solar Pulse on the Destructek could be handy.

I would say either the Solar Pulse or the Tomb Blade would both be great. The Tomb Blade is nice for objective grabbing as you mentioned, but the solar pulse can help you survive against shooting for a turn

I think the tomb blade is great.

Which way would be better to bulk it up to 2000?

Triarch Stalker

Or scarab farm?
