Putting Zahndrek, orikan, and the D-lord with the wraiths.

Hey dude!

My two cents on this:

Running orikan and zandrekh with the wraiths have pretty much crippled the wraiths. They are a super fast unit meant to quickly engage the opponents big scaries to tie them up. Which will never happen now they are moving max 6" a turn. You could daisy chain them, but seems too much effort in my books.

Orikan is generally run with sword & board lychguard, and they normally have a night scythe and a o/lord with a VoD to increase their mobility.

Also, I don't have my codex on me atm but I'm 99% sure you need 3x3 destroyers to make a legal cult, adding heavy destroyers in on top of that.

Having heavy destroyers in the same squad as normal destroyers is wasting shots in my books. They should be focusing completely different targets, and they don't have split fire.

To keep the list similar to what you have but imo stronger I would run:

1x zandrekh
5x immortals w/gauss
10x Warriors
10x Warriors
3x tomb blades w/ vanes & scopes
1x d/lord w/ scythe, Nightmare shroud & phase shifter
3x H/destroyers
5x destroyers
5x destroyers
4x destroyers
1x spyder
6x wraiths w/ coils
4x scarabs

Ok couple of things.

The only restrictions on D-cult is "3 units of Destroyers" and "Each unit of destroyers must contain at least 3 models". So you can run 2 destroyers and 1 Heavy according to the destroyer unit on page 91. As that is a legal choice for the "unit" and has "3 models" it meets the restrictions.

I understand that it will slow the wraiths down a bit. I don't mind daisy chaining them for this purpose. I feel they will be superior to the L-guard with Sword and board because of the +1 attacks, +1 wounds, 5 initiative, +possible ap2 from rending, etc.

I understand what you are saying however and will take it into consideration.

Yep That's probably right, I can't check myself for a couple of days.

Either way I'd still consider splitting them off into their own group, more efficient shot utilisation.

Yep the wraith and d/lord Deathstar is strong, as the lord can keep up pretty well with his run move

But it is something different! Would like to hear how it goes when you run it

Enjoy!

I would turn the 2 Destroyer + 1 Heavy Destroyer units into 3 Destroyer units and drop the whipcoils to free up points to add more war scythes to your Wraithstar.

Equip the naked Overlord and Lord with war scythes and join them to the Wraithstar so that the unit is effective at murdering things it comes up against.

You want the unit killing a unit a turn and not just acting as an overcosted tarpitter.
