So after a long look at CA (but probably not long enough) I made this list. The nephrekh detachment captures and eliminates Target's with extermination protocols and the destroyers. The sautekh detachment holds firm in cover and takes home field objectives with the nephrekh Lord. Nihilakh DDA and Spyder hides in back field. I feel like it's a little lacking in DDA's or maybe swarms what do you think?

Drop the spyders and get another DDA.

Would if I could but I do that I lose a CP unless I soak some pts from somewhere else. Not saying I shouldn't but is it worth the CP or what points should I steal from?

If you drop the spearhead detachment you wouldnt have to pick a cryptek, saving you 85 points. You have to decide if 1 CP is worth it.

... considering... Maybe idk sometimes the extra cp saves me. Retrieving one on a 5or 6;but maybe not idk

Here are some flaws of the list that you can see what you can do about:

Your Nephrekh lord is not going to be buffing much. He can only help the Destroyers but you will be either moving them too far away from him or using the Stratagem to be re-rolling everything. As well as his Voidreaper is not even needed. (dropping just the artifact saves you 1 cp)

The Spyders can only heal the one DDA (and only one spyder can heal it a turn), which will be sitting back shooting and going no where near any of the targets of the Gloom prism.

Imotekh is still pretty bad. Don't get excited over his points drop; 160 is still 50 points more expensive than he should be and if you make him your warlord then you miss out on the only good WL trait in the codex; Immortal Pride. If you want to keep the general theme/structure of the army then just take a normal overlord and make his detachment Nephrekh too so the characters from the battallion and outrider can buff and support everything without issue. Either that or you go Sautekh and just use Veil of Darkness to get Destroyers into position instead of deepstriking them. I also echo the advice to drop the spyders and take another DDA instead. You miss out on the 1cp but Necrons are honestly not that CP hungry, especially with this list since you're not going to be spending a whole lot of CP's on stratagems aside from extermination protocols and that will only be for 1 turn.

You wont find any HQ unit which adds one CP for 110 pts. That one CP alone is worth at least 50 pts. Commander Dante is 175 pts, and he doesnt add any CP.

Yeah and you wont be using anything with that 1 cp so it's worthless and he is still overcosted. I've run troop-less Necron lists and only had 5-6 cp to work with and still had 1 or 2 by like turn 4. Aside from Extermination Protocols (which you will use in 1 turn and 1 turn only since the destroyers will be killed immediately afterwards) and Phaerons Will if you're doing an Immortals heavy list the army really, really does not need a whole load of CP. Especially with the type of list he wants to run.

You will never ever re-roll that 1 you just rolled for the number of shots of your DDA. You will never ever re-roll that 1 you just rolled for the damage from your DDA. You will never ever use 1 CP for another MWBD. You will never ever use 1 CP to ignore the damage on any vehicle. You will never ever use 2 CP to make 2x10 immortals, each buffed with MWBD from imotekh, give another +1 to hit, to make tesla explode on 4+. You will never ever try to resurrect your just slain character, who was your warlord, to deny your opponent slay the warlord. You will never ever use 1 CP to put destroyers in deepstrike. You will never ever buy a second relic for 1 CP.

CPs are useless to you, you are the ctan of infinite power, you dont need them

Kinda agree with all those examples but it needs changing. I didn't realize about the nephrekh Lord but I really like imotekh and hyperlogical strategist but that's me and ya need to get rid of the extra relic good to have one more CP
