I'd sub out the wraiths since they are not that killy.
Otherwise, seems to take pretty safe choices to make the best of RP rolls.

What sort of strategy do you have in mind for point based games?

i'd swap 1-2 Heavy Destroyers units for 1-2 Doomsday Ark's.

I was thinking the Wraiths would be more of a buffer against scary assault units than a beat stick. I'm not sure what else to put in their place. The strategy is to use a blob of 20 Warriors, Scarabs, and Wraiths to blunt any assault while the rest of the Warriors and Destroyers go about killing things. If the opposing army wants to sit back, then the Scarabs and Wraiths were supposed to go tie up some units to give my Warriors and Destroyers more time to do damage.



But why would I swap out so many Heavy Destroyers that have synergy with the Destroyer Lord for Doomsday Arks? I'd be giving up a lot, and I'm not sure what the point would be.

3 Heavy Destroyers are only 9 wounds with T5 and a 3+ and cost 225 points they cant take a beating. A Doomsday Ark is 14 wounds t6 and 3+ plus QS so a lot tougher for example 9 lascannon shots kill 3 HD but the DDA only loses 6 wounds which leaves it at full efficiency. plus the HD are only good at monster/vehicle hunting but against infantry the DA can shoot 20 shots if in 12"
