The command barge isn't necessary. I would go with a less expensive character and use the points for more bodies.

Lots of regular Destroyers seems like overkill to me. Either leave them as 3 or do 2 Destroyers and 1 Heavy. Big units get expensive, the true strength of the Cult is MSU. That'll also free up some points for more Troops, more Scarabs, or maybe a Ghost Ark.

Better take less destroyer and a basic qg and take transport for warriors and immortal, so you can handle AA control and have better mobility.

Couple tweaks. So I would add all the expensive wargear to the Dlord. The barge can no longer benefit from the invul. I would keep the barge cheap with just a scythe and maybe phylactery. Then give the Dlord 2+/4++, and scythe.

A big squad of 7-10 tomb blades with particle beamers appealing, but best to leave the min squads with gauss so they can threaten vehicles.

Someone did the math on Destroyer Cults deep in the 7th ed Necron Tactics thread. Overall, the 2x D + 1 HD is the best statistical loadout.

A big blob of tomb blades with a destroyer Lord should also work well. Against anything ap4 or lower they'll pretty much kill anything, especially in rapid fire range, especially with preferred enemy from the d-Lord. (Dont listen to siren voices luring you away from this combo - ymdc recently debated d-Lord jumps and the strong consensus was that the thrust move us allowed!)

I'll second that; as I said, particle beamers are only advised in larger squads.
