Im getting back into 40k after a 2 year break and i am trying to decide between my Word Bearers, Crimson fists or Necrons.

Ive put together a Decurion, which seems to follow what ive seen people putting in their lists. Im just wanting to make sure i've got everything right

Decurion Detachment

{Reclaimation Legion}

Overlord - Warscythe, Gauntlet of Fire
Immortals - Tesla Carbines
Warriors - 10 guys
Warriors - 10 guys
Warriors - 10 guys
Tomb Blades - 3 guys, Particle Beamers, Shield Vanes, Scopes

{Destroyer Cult}

Destroyer Lord - Warlord, Warscythe, Phaseshifter, Nightmare Shroud
Destroyers - 3x
Destroyers - 3x
Destroyers- 3x
Heavy Destroyers - 3x

{Canoptek Harvest}

Canoptek Spider - TL Particle Beamer
Canoptek Scarabs - 3x bases
Canoptek Wraiths - 6x, Whipcoils

Deathmarks - 10 guys

Total : 2000 Pts


It seems really stout with the stacking rules for We'll Be Back roll's, putting the d-lord with the deathmarks to get him into action fast, the destroyers with tons of rerolls and how fast and deadly they made wraiths.

What's the verdict?

The list seems solid enough. As to what to play, it depends. Do you prefer casual or more competitive. CSM still do ok in a casual setting, but get ROFLstomped in tournaments. Marines and Necrons do equally well in both

The list is really good but I would personally ditch a squad of warriors and get a ghost ark, and maybe, if you have enough, give the spyder the claw array.
Move the spyder up behind the barge for cover, that way he can also repair it.
