lots of powerful formations and units. the army is also VERY fast.

Thoughts please dakka.

This isn't a bound list is it?

Bound? Yes
Legal in most tournaments? No

No its not bound.

The Tomb Blade contingency makes it unbound as they are not a formation on their own.

That's what I thought, didn't think it was bound, in that case, I'd probably suggest a triarch stalker, the synergy with destroyers is just to great to ignore.

No particle weapons for the TB?
These weapons are awesome vs. horde armies.

Whilst i agree that the stalker/Destroyer combo is solid, i just see the stalker getting left behind in this army with the whole army either moving 12" a turn or 6" followed by a 2D6 jump move.

i wasn't convinced i needed it:

a. its more expensive
b. i have a lot of fire-power and
c. punchy CC if needs be
d. doom scythe pie plates if poo really hits the fan

I battles Orks on Saturday.
My TB unit with 6 particle weapons has been a pain.
The Orks were not able to reach them and they were punching holes in the mobs.

Hmmmm, ok, had a quick think, what about this?:

Destroyer Cult
Destroyer Lord- Warscythe, Nightmare Shroud, Phase Shifter, Phylactery, Res Orb- 230
3 Destroyers- 120
3 Destroyers- 120
3 Destroyers- 120

Canoptek Harvest
6 Wraith- 6 Whip Coils- 258
3 Scarab Swarms- 60
Sypder- 50

Death Bringer Flight
3 Doom Scythes- 480

5 Tomb Blades- Shield Vanes/Nebuloscopes- 110
5 Tomb Blades- Shield Vanes/Nebuloscopes- 110
4 Tomb Blades- Shield Vanes/Nebuloscopes, Particle Beamers- 96
4 Tomb Blades- Shield Vanes/Nebuloscopes, Particle Beamers- 96

adds a bit more anti-horde whilst maintaining speed and hitting power.

thoughts?

Looks good.
But too bad that it's unbound.
Do you have an approximate bound version?

Not yet no. with the use of 3 formations the only way i'm can make it bound is lose tomb blades in swap for another HQ and 2 troop.

You could do it (and keep a lot of TBs) without too much trouble. Dropping any one of the formations gives you enough to go Decurion, and you could just move the TBs into groups of 6 out of that.
