Monolith
Fun little pesudo deathstar, Overlords go with the 20 man warrior blob and just advance on targets (deepstrike the monolith to give them the ability to pop up behind something)
Between a 2+3++ with rerolls to save, 2 rerolls per round and a rez orb in the blob it should be something thats hard to remove...

I feel you could make better use of your courts. How about a Stormtek in the Night Scythe to mess with a vehicle upon insertion?
Might also be better to just unite the Wraiths. They work better as a big fist than a small harassment.

That's actually a pretty fun idea. If you keep your Olords positioned right you could make that brick a nightmare to take down.
I'm not sure if I'd bring the Wraiths in a list like this. You need down range fire power to pair up with your brick, because it won't go down easy but it also will be limited on how much it can kill. 6 Wraiths stand out as an easy early target.
I would drop them altogether and get crypteks for your warrior squads. Probably a pair of Lanceteks for the GA squad and a pair of haywireteks for the NS squad. That leaves, what, 90 left over? Should be just enough to grab another 5 warriors and a single haywiretek. Leave this guy in the back as a nasty surprise out of the Mono.
That gives considerably more firepower, most of it considerably safer then the 6 Wraiths would be.

Wraiths aren't all that fragile in the shooting phase if you know how to use jump infantry that completely ignores all terrain properly.
Barring a wide open field, they can normally find an approach vector where they intentionally distract a small fraction of firepower they can actually shrug off then close in.
Yes, they'll die as fast as twelve marines to massed S4 shooting if they get caught in the open.

Yeah, I suppose it depends on the type of terrain you are anticipating. Wraiths are good, don't get me wrong, I just feel they are better in bulk and paired with a DLord to soak things that double them up. I also think it's a bit of waist have two RCs and two transports with open RC slots and not using them.
Another reasonably solid way to extend firepower in a Mono list is a couple of Heavy Ds. You can peek them around the Mono with relative ease and bombard in relative LOS secured safety.

Yeah, those wraiths are just asking to be shot.

You can only re roll a die one time. So having the redundant cronomatrons will only be so good. That's not to say I don't like to see multiple cronomatrons in a unit but that point is often overlooked. Other than that you lack anti air. Finding a spot for at least 1 annhilation barge would solve that problem.

Night scythe is anti-air. Not only a Tesla Destructor, but a turn Skyfire on and off at will one.
