Ok everyone. So my last tournament, ITC as well, i got 3rd place with my biggest issue being that a living tomb formation with a monolith did NOTHING but explode. So i want to get rid of it.

Here is my current list.


Decurion Hogwash
-Reclamation Legion
--10x Immortal
Gauss Blaster
--Nemesor Zahndrekh (WARLORD)
Phase Shifter, Staff of Light, Warlord Trait: Eternal Madness
--5x Tomb Blade
Nebuloscope, Shield Vanes, Twin-linked Gauss Blaster

--10x Necron Warrior
Ghost Ark
--10x Necron Warrior
--10x Necron Warrior

Command
Royal Court
--Orikan the Diviner
Phase Shifter, Staff of Tomorrow
--Overlord
Phylactery, The Solar Staff
--Vargard Obyron
Ghostwalk Mantle, Warscythe

Auxiliary
Canoptek Harvest
--Canoptek Spyder
--3x Canoptek Scarab
--3x Canoptek Wraiths
Whip Coils
Deathmarks
--5x Deathmark
Star-God
--C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer


Here is the overall plan.

Namesor with the deathmarks
Orikan and Vargard with Immortals
Overlord with a group of warriors

Goal is to have the deathmarks and Namesor Ethereal Intercept in. At the beggining of my next movement phase, ghostmantle the immortals, cargard, and orikan to the deathmarks.
The Overlord/warriors unit will stay back. Overlord has solar staff to try and avoid any other deathstar or drop pods in my deployment zone.

second and third warriors squads move up to middle. Canoptic harvest does whatever i need at the time. and Stargod is there to gaze at flyrants or kill other things with randomness.

I wanted to do a destroyer cult but i dont have enough destroyers. The only other models i have ready are.... Every single HQ besides illuminor, 5 cryptecs, 10 lychguard, monolith, obelisk, stalker.
Also, im unsure how to remove and readd characters to units. Will it take me 2 turns to get namessor with the group of immortals?

Does everyone just hate decurion lists now?

I don't think Zahndrekh can join the Deathmarks and be able to Intercept in. He doesn't have Deep Strike.

Personally I'd recommend dropping the Deathmarks all together. I've just not had much luck with them, and when I do take them, I usually end up going first. You've met your Aux requirements with the Harvest and Star-God. I don't care much for the ITC, so that's about all the advice I have.

That is a good point. Didnt think about that.

Yeah if he cant join then the deathmarks are pointless and easy kill points.

So what to replace it with? Removing the deathmarks leave me at 1754 points

In Order, I'd recommend:

Bulk out the Warrior units on foot.
A second Ghost Ark.
More Tomb Blades, and make a second unit.
More Immortals, and make a second unit.
Small unit of Flayed Ones for Infiltration / Counter Infiltration / Objective grab.
Bulk out the Wraiths.

While I'm not a fan of Ghost Arks, I think you might have an issue with taking just one. It's the only vehicle so all of your enemies AT is gonna be gunning for that. I don't play ITC, so the Flayed Ones might not be a good option. I just don't have any experience, but they work well enough in 40k. Most people will tell you to bulk out the Wraiths at the top of the list. I like the inclusion of the CTan eventhough I don't see how he fits really.

I think Necrons have one thing similar to marines: they work way better when they have transports. So it is better to drop one Squad of warriors, and bring in a second Ghost ark.
Moreover, How about grabbing a squad of Lychguard, and put those Royal Court with them in a Nightscythe? That would become a more proper deathstar, you may just drop the Deathmark and one Squad of warriors, and reduce the Immortals to 5 men level, which I think will get you enough points for this deathstar.

Ok so i ended up taking this list:

Decurion Hogwash
-Reclamation Legion
--10x Immortal
Gauss Blaster
--Nemesor Zahndrekh (WARLORD)
Phase Shifter, Staff of Light, Warlord Trait: Eternal Madness
--5x Tomb Blade
Nebuloscope, Shield Vanes, Twin-linked Gauss Blaster

--10x Necron Warrior
Ghost Ark
--10x Necron Warrior
--20x Necron Warrior

Command
Royal Court
--Orikan the Diviner
Phase Shifter, Staff of Tomorrow
--Overlord
Phylactery, The Solar Staff, Veil
--Vargard Obyron
Ghostwalk Mantle, Warscythe

Auxiliary
Canoptek Harvest
--Canoptek Spyder
--3x Canoptek Scarab
--3x Canoptek Wraiths
Whip Coils
Deathmarks
--10x Deathmark

I did well, the list worked great. I got to bounce the deathmarks in twice for the 2+ wounding rule. And the big 20 man blob with vargaurd and orikan. I went against a Tau shooting line with the ghostkeel formation. Even with the intercept i lost only half my warriors. They eneded up landing next to his objective he needed and had enough shots to move him off. 3 man wraiths tarpitted his stormsurge perfectly.
