So my list is as follows

Will be 11 CP with Imothek and 10 when I use one for artifact.

Any thoughts? I'm quite new this edition and it's basically made out of units I have experienced perform well together.

I like to have a tiny bit of close combat tar pits in wraiths and destroyer lord. I have seen quite a few people use staff of light on lord but I think I can use him to ward of someone who tries to pick out my destroyers or back line in cc.

You dont need a second overlord when you already have imotekh. Having one 6 model unit of wraith is better than two units of 3. Its harder to kill 6 models than 3 models. Gives you a better chance to reanimate them. I suggest deleting one outrider detachment, this will give your more points for non HQ units. Wraith and dlord dont benefit from sautekh, novokh or nephrekh is better for them.

I'm a bit wary of large destroyer unit. While it helps with RP, I find them more useful in smaller squadrons more spread out throughout the board to diversify potential targets for ensuing stratagem.

Smaller units make their stratagem less effective, and its only one use per phase.

I was referencing the sautekh +1 to hit stratagem. Destroyers are one of the best platform for triggering this stratagem.

Reoll hits and wounds for a single unit of destroyers is nice, but entire army gaining +1 to hit can be quite deadly, especially seeing the list without stalker, it is a worthwhile tactic.

If I faced this list, my first priority are the destroyers. My suggestion is to split them up into smaller groups to create redundancy and disrupt target priority.

Keep the destroyers in one blob. They're probably going to get smoked in your opponents first shooting phase regardless, might as well maximise the strat and give yourself the best chance of surviving for RP at the same time. Also drop the heavy destroyer and just max out on the normal ones. They're better against 99% of targets.

Same with Wraiths. One big unit has the best chance of surviving to reanimate and they're such a huge distraction carnifex, they might keep your destroyers alive for a turn longer.

Necron HQs are largely a tax and we're not a hugely CP hungry army (since we only have like 4 good strats). Drop one of the detachments, drop the spare overlord. Consolidate the wraiths. Drop a few scarabs and you can squeeze in the third doomsday ark. They're basically the only A+ unit we have in our book, you want three of them.
