Hey guys I've been toying around with a fun list, as i doubt it would see competitive play ever but share your thoughts with me.

CAD
Nemesor Zahndrekh
Cryptek

Troops
5x Immortals
19x Warriors (joined by both hqs)

Fortification detatchment
Aegis Defense line with comms relay

Formation detatchment

Conclave of the burning one(with Night bringer C'tan)
Conclave of the burning one(with Deceiver C'tan and Cryptek with God Shackle)
Deathbringer Flight (With 3x Doom scythes)

The idea is to hide the blob of warriors behind the aegis line for turn one while moving the Conclaves and immortals up the field to grab objectives. Turn 2, use Nemesor(+/-1 to reserve rolls) and the comms relay(rerolling reserves of 1) to bring in the Deathbringer flight, and use the combination of the death bringer flight and deceiver ctan to lower a units leadership, then use the night bringer to use his gaze of death on a power unit, forcing invulns only essentially. After turn 2, use Nemesor's tactics to place the unit where it needs to be, and start unloading some pain.

Only thing I don't like is low unit count, as there's like 4 units.
Thoughts, opinions, questions?

I like what your going for here but I would worry less about reserve rolls. I would drop a doom scythe and increase you immortals to 10.
Also I would consider bringing wraiths or scarabs as tarpit units. How do you plan on dealing with drop pods and CC units?

Drop pods with the warriors blobs 4+/ 4+rp, with a cover save from the aegis,

Cc units with the ctan being mcs with smash.

If your going full on leadership hate why not take some form of psycher to use psychic shriek.

Because of the Whole no battle brothers thing most of the units have a short range leadership reduction. So I might end up attacking my own guys.

I would shave some points and get 2 units of 3 scarab swarms just in case, but the list you have right now looks good. Due tell how it goes when you field it

(Why? Aren't all the units here necron?) --- Scratch this, I didn't know necron have no psychers.
Also psychic shriek targets a single unit and cannot spill over to other units so you are safe.

Your correct but psychic shriek is 24" I think, so I'd have to be 12" from the unit for the leadership debuff, and can't be within 12" for come the apoc allies I believe. So the non battle brothers might kick in and see my army fight itself

If you take a chaos sorceror you are allies of convenience, then you can move within an inch of each other

But then I have to dedicate the sorcerer and like 100pts in cultists, i mean I could bounce it to 2k points but our norm is 1850. I will keep it mind for future consideration, as I just picked up chaos recently so it would be doable model wise as well. thanks.

Plans are to play this army list saturday.

So I played this list saturday and it was alot of fun, the guy ran 2 demi companys, so I got to contend with like 5 rhinos and 2 dreads. He also brought the storm talon/wing formation to give everyone strafing run.

Game was tactical escalation, which ended in a tie after 4 turns because the shop owner wanted to head home. I'm considering bringing it again just to try it out even more.

His best moment was when the C'tan Gazed him for 8 wounds and he only took one with the captains 4+ invuln.

Got to watch some my deceiver take on an assault squad and just wipe the floor with them, he was the one with the god shackle so only the chaplin could deal damage.

I think I'm going to keep playing this list and work out some bugs, I did discover to my own benefit, I don't need to bring the aegis line, as there is a warlord trait that allows me to +/-1 to my reserve rolls and reroll them so I'll have to see what I could have fun with for another 80points

Rowen

Glad to hear the list did well. I'll have to try it for myself

Only thing I can say is that I was looking through warlord traits and there's a +/-1 to reserves and allows rerolls, which is better then just +/-1. Which would save you the points for the defense line and comms relay.

With that 100 points you saved you could drop a couple Warriors from the blob and have enough to give the Immortals a Night Scythe.
Also might not be a bad idea to give the Crypteks a Chronometron so things get mass 5++ saves.

Yea for the points I probably would have brought in an extra doom scythe for my formation. I'm not knocking our flyers, just saying my c'tan were more then enough to remove what I wanted to remove from the field, and his tanks died to mass gauss.
