1) For Lychguard: Warscythes or Hyperphase Swords & Dispersion Shields?
2) For Immortals, Tomb Blades, etc.: Gauss or Tesla?

Thanks

1) I like both, however: dispersion shields for durrability, warscythes for tank (and other tough stuff) killing
2) depends on what you're planning on shooting them at. Massed infantry? (generally) Tesla. Vehicles, MCs, and other tough things? Gauss.

I'll never be able to repay CA for making GW realize that The Old World was a cash cow, left to die in a field.

1) Field Triarch Praetorians, Not Lychguard However field Boards and Swords to tank most things (and its the key component in an Orikanstar)

2) Gauss is Usally better overall thanks to the Gauss rule, however Tesla is better when faced with stuff that has 2+ and 3+ saves

Untrue about Tesla in rapidfire range for the Gauss Blasters. Not only that but the Decurion gives Relentless, making their Assault profile not anything special.

Under current rules, Gauss is flat-out better than Tesla in every circumstance.

I'd go with Dispersion Shields, but I have plenty of melee anti-tank in my army otherwise.

Drop the monolith, add ghost ark(s), more tomb blades if you can. Immortals are OK but you lack mobility - I like to run a unit of 10 in a night scythe.

Similar for the Warriors - put them in Ghost Arks, they are amazingly good for the points (durable, good damage output, can jink and the warriors can still fire at full BS, has move through cover, rebuilds warriors... it does it all!)

Tomb blades need nebuloscopes - your only source of ignores cover (bar the flamer). I'd prefer to run 2 units if you can.

I can see you've gone for harvest, which is fine, but as good as wraiths are, the scarabs and spyders are a bit of a tax and I find they don't really do much.
