So Im trying out a list with the Decurion detachment to take advantage of the 4+ Reanimation rolls as much as possible.
Adding a 4+ reanimations to Wraiths and Destroyers seem awesome so here is my try at it.

105 1x Overlord / Tachion Arrow
130 10x Necron Warriors
105 1x Ghost Ark
130 10x Necron Warriors
130 1x Night Scythe
85 5x Immortals
130 1x Night Scythe
100 4x Tomb Blades / Particle Beamer / Nebuloscope / Shield Vane / Shadowloom

Canoptek Harvest formation

120 2x Tomb Spyders / TL Particle beamer
258 6x Canoptek Wraiths
60 3x Canoptek Scarabs

Destroyer Cult formation

135 1x Destroyer Lord / Tachion Arrow
150 3x Heavy Destroyer
120 3x Destroyer
120 3x Destroyer
120 3x Destroyer

Seems pretty solid, two night scythes for anti flyers protection, lots of shooting from the destroyers and everything else actually, Wraiths for some close combat.
The Tombblades when fully upgraded can be really tough, especially with the +1 Reanimation roll, they throw out str6 blasts which ignore cover and have T5, a 3+arSv, a 3+ Jink, and a 4+ reanimation roll.
The whole army should be really tough to take out,

What do you guys think?

I like it, I was entertained something similar. But most tourneys I play only allow 2 sources, so 1 CAD 1 Formation or 2 CAD per say.

Follow up with how it plays out for you, looks solid.

The Tomb Blades can't take both Nebuloscope and Shadowloom.

This army list is in fact 1 detachment so it falls in line with those limitations

May I suggest you read this thread about the number of Spyders you can take in the Canoptek Harvest before you field this army.

ah, so only one spyder, well thats fine, I can just get more Tombblades. maybe make the spyder as cheap as possible since he wont last long (a cunning tactician will always target the spyder first).

so I could get 5 more Tombblades if I lose one wraith too making me 3 units of 3 tombblades giving me a little armada of flying little jets spitting St6 ignore cover blasts 24" that dont want to die

this is pretty cool.
what do you guys think

If your Destroyer Lord is going with the Wraiths , then giving him a Tachyon Arrrow instead of a Phase Shifter is really weird. Especially since you're going to want to run that unit towards the enemy to get closer to the enemy.

the wraiths job could easily be just to guard the shooty component of my army and a Tachion arrow would serve well here, also its only one use only so I dont think I would want to run everyturn, its really just an ace in the hole but I do see the value of exchanging it for a phase shifter, that would be a good choice too.

Personally, I'd cram more Warriors in there to take advantage of the Decurion. It's such a cheap way to bubble wrap your good stuff. I'm running a minimum of 50 warriors in my decurion and not even worrying about flyers.

I personally really dislike the idea of putting a Destroyer Lord in with the Wraiths. The change to jetpack infantry paired with Wraiths becoming beasts slows them down too much to justify the preferred enemy.

I get why people love wraiths, but they need to get that turn 2 assault and move quickly to get their points back.

Another suggestion: I've been running tomb blade units with 2x Gauss and one particle caster. It lets you do something with them in case you're targeted with high S, low AP weapons so you can jink and still shoot twin-linked gauss after.

meh I prefer running instead of shooting badly so I dont mind jinking if I have to save the tomblades and a str6 blast is so much better than one or two str4 shot. they can actuall harm jinking vehicules decently.

Anything with reanimation protocol takes advantage of the decurion protocole so tomblades and destroyers are a good choice, even the spyders and Wraith can have it due to the formation.
Dont get me wrong I love the idea of 50 Warriors running up the field, they can easilly take the best that the flyers can fire at them, but it doesnt move very fast. its all a question of style
