Ok so I was playing around with my TAC list and decided to try fitting in the new FotM unit: Tomb Blades! I also wanted to squeeze in a third Doomsday Ark as the two I normally run have been absolutely beastly MVPs in my games. I normally run Imotekh and a full squad of Wraiths in my TAC list, so I wanted to try something different. Anyways I usually play against my friends' Ad Mech and Space Wolves, and hopefully a third friend will play me with his new Tau soon. Anyways, enough rambling here is what I am hoping for in any feedback:

1. Is Sautekh worth taking in a list like this? I absolutely LOVE the Warlord Trait, and having my CCB and Arks able to move and shoot without penalty is quite nice. I can't quite help thinking that Mephrit with a Veil of Darkness on the Cryptek would probably be better though.

2. I have never used Tomb Blades before (contemplating buying the models), so is it worth running them in a blob with the CCB, cryptek and Destroyers, or are they perfectly tough enough to zip around on their own?

3. I have seen a lot of folks split their Arks into a Nihalak spearhead detachment, is it worth trimming some troops to pay the HQ tax for a 2nd cloaktek?

Thank you to anyone who reads and comments on this post, this forum has helped me immensely on the table top and I am always looking for advice to step up my game!

From what I've heard Tomb Blades are best used as a harassment unit rather than sticking with the blob.

Thank you for the reply, so would you recommend that I use Tomb Blades like a shooty Wraith? With Wraiths I pretty much just rush the closest scary shooty thing I see. With Tomb Blades would it be better to just focus on taking out problem infantry?
