So I've got a local game group that are hosting a tournament soon. I'd be taking my sisters but I re-basecoated my entire army a day before I heard about the tournament and I don't have the time to repaint 1500 points of models. So that just leaves my necrons. The terms of the tournament are as follows:
1500pts
CAD only- no special formations or detachments
No allies
Codex entry only
No Lord's of war, gargantuan creatures, superheavies
No more than 300pts of flyers or fmc

Old school 40k essentially

I'm used to casual games and this'll be my first time fielding crons competitively
I'm limited with what I can field by the models I have. I acquired my crons in a trade and haven't added to it.

What I have available to me is:

The missions are mostly maelstrom of war with a kill points game during the course of the day.

My current t list is:

Any advice would be appreciated

Well, first and foremost I'd drop the Monoliths. They're fun to play and all, but will die to Grav and D like nothing. I'd probably then (based off of what you have), drop down to 2x 10 man squads of Warriors, one in a Ghost Ark, and take all 3 Heavy Destroyers in a unit. The Wraiths would be a must have, but since you only have 3, they'll probably die before they get to do much, but that can work to your advantage.

Are you allowed multiple CADs? If so, bring the D-Lord, minimum troops, and then multiple squads of Destroyers.

Cheers for the input. We're only allowed a single CAD. Like I said, old school 40k.

Adjusted list so far is:

Spoiler:

D Lord w/voidreaper, phase shifter and mss (just to make up points)
Cryptek w/chronomotron, veil of darkness and mss (making up points again)
10 flayed ones
15 warriors
10 warriors
10 warriors in ghost ark
3 destroyers
3 destroyers
3 destroyers
3 heavy destroyers

With what you have, that's actually not a bad list. Though, I'd probably get rid of MSS on both of those guys and get a Phylactery on the D-Lord and use him to tank shots for a unit of Destroyers or so, maybe even for the 15 man group of warriors.

Put all your destroyers (DLord, Destroyers, H Destroyers) into a destroyer cult - they get to reroll failed To Wound and Armour Pen in their own shooting phase. That is a massive buff.

The rest (1 HQ, 5 troops) can be arranged into a Mephrit dynasty list, which has some excellent wargear options.

"CAD only- no special formations or detachments"

Thanks for that. I'm still a little worried at my lack to seemingly deal with heavier threats. Would it be sound to swap out a destroyer unit for a wraith unit?

I had been considering throwing the cryptek with the 15 warrior unit and deep striking them and the destroyers around the place.
