I thought about fielding the Flayed Ones together with both Destroyer Lords and decided with splitting them so that I have a smaller foot print with each unit (good for deep strike) and able to cover more ground. But I think that will take some play-testing to decide for sure.

Having larger squads will risk losing them to melee and increases their footprint for deep strike. It also reduces my options when selecting targets. The trade-off to that is
KPs, as you say. I mostly run
NOVA OPEN missions which give you options during mission selection to make
KPs lesser of a problem for
MSU armies.
My first list for a 'Destroyer Wing' was a full Destroyer Cult so I just wanted to try the
MSU approach. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Of course if I reaaaaly want to go
MSU then I could go something like this....
Rec Legion:
Zahndrekh
5x Immortals
10x Warriors
10x Warriors
3x Tomb Blades w/ shields and nebs
D. Cult:
D. Lord w/ Nightmare Shroud, Warscythe, Phase Shifter
3x Heavy Ds
2x Destroyers 1x Heavy D
2x Destroyers 1x Heavy D
2x Destroyers 1x Heavy D
8 units of 5x Flayed Ones or 1 unit of 20x Flayed Ones and 4 units of 5x
Would be amusing to see so many infiltrating Flayed Ones on the board...
But more realistically I could go with a list like this.
Rec Legion:
Zahndrekh
5x Immortals
10x Warriors
10x Warriors
3x Tomb Blades w/ Neb, Shield
3x Tomb Blades w/ Neb, Shield, P. Beamers
3x Tomb Blades w/ Neb, Shield, P. Beamers
C. Harvest w/ 6x Wraiths w/ T. Beamers
D Cult: Same as one above with the Nightmare Shroud and 3x Heavy Ds
There's just so many ways to play necrons right now I'm finding it difficult to decide what to do. I really like the idea of a Destroyer Cult so I'm kind of sticking with that. But I also love Wraiths, Flayed Ones and the Conclave. There's not enough points for everything!
