So I'm struggling to gauge my list for a 1500pt game. I feel like I am going to struggle capturing objectives and am semi-tempted to swap the immortals out for scarab swarms for that reason. Though I know as I grow this list to 2000pts the immortals will probably be more useful. Generally I think they will be better at dealing with more heavy infantry.

Main combo is the barge + stalker giving a 2+ rerolling 1's to hit on any unit that gets buffed while the spider remains hidden (as well as can be) repairing whichever of my vehicles the opponent decides to lay into first. Given both the barge and the triarch will be hard enough to kill as is through quantum shielding im hoping to nullify anything that gets through. Also I can bring my flyers back if they get damaged in order to repair them as they pass by.

If I bring scarabs Instead of immortals I would gain some CC capabilities, more objective capturing ability, make use of the spyders second ability and possibly change the detachment to a +1cp but I don't know.
Feed back and advice most wanted @.@

Any opinions?
Would really like to know how well people think this would hold up in a game lol

I always run neverending phalanx style armies, just a crap load of warriors backed by ghost arks/Monoliths with some doom scythes for flavor

Competitive lists usually have redundancies built in, I see a bunch of single unit types. Also any list with doom scythes is not considered competitive

Good units imo:
Cryptek + characters
Overlord + characters
Immortals - Both Flavors
Warriors
Triarch Stalker
Doomsday Arc

Really? In the new rules the doom scythes looked rather good.

8 shots with the tesla str7's
3 shots with the doom beam thing
360 shooting arc so supersonic no longer stops me from shooting at everything on the board.

They seemed like they would be particularly good at negating enemy walkers and vehicles, even other fliers.

Hmm...

------------------ So something like this as a basis?
