Hi, can you help me choose dynasties, relics and more for this list? I have the follow 3rd edition models:

Battallion detatchment:

HQ
Lokhust Lord w/ressurection orb 135 pts
Overlord 95 pts

Troops
5 Immortals (really pariahs) 85 pts
20 Necron Warriors 260 pts
20 Necron Warriors 260 pts

Elites
C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer 370 pts
3 Canoptek Spyders 180 pts
5 Flayed Ones 50 pts

Fast attack
5 Canoptek Scarab Swarm 75 pts
5 Canoptek Scarab Swarm 75 pts
4 Canoptek Wraiths 140 pts

Heavy Support
4 Lokhust Destroyers +1 Heavy destroyer 240 pts

Total 2000 pts


The only models I have surplus is 1 immortal and a unpainted foot lord with ressurection orb. The list was 2k points in early 2000s sans the C'tan, and is now 2k incl C'tan


Planning to play friendly easter games with experienced players. I've played a few matches in 9th, but it feels a bit overwhelming with all the extra rules

So:

Question A: Should I drop some scarabs for weapons for the lords, gloom prisms, etc?

Question B: Can you help me pimp this list in regards to:

1, Dynasty. Which one?

2, Command Protocols?

3, Warlord trait?

4, Dynastic Heirlooms/Relics? I'd like to use Command points before the match, so perhaps 2 relics?

5. Which powers for the C'tan?

6. Secondaries, are there secondary objective I should consider?

Bonus Question: I could kit bash a Cryptek from the unpainted orb-lord I have. Should I? Would it be worth it for Cryptek Arcana and synergy with spyders and wraiths?


The army. (Needs a little glue)

Thanks if advance if you take the time to give this some thoughts.

First of, your points for Flayed Ones and Lokhusts are wrong. Would save 60 points.

Then I would drop one Lokhust for the 3rd HQ perhaps.

This might be best with Custom Obsec Dynasty.

Got you.

And what type of HQ would work here do you think?

The Lokhust squad should be 235 I think.

Technomancer and Chronomancer might be the best ones in every list.

Maybe you can get a free Royal Warden, I got 3 and play none.

Now to your questions

1, Dynasty. Which one? Custom with Obsec +pregame move

2, Command Protocols?
can be shuffled before every game, I usually start with +1 movement.

3, Warlord trait? Enduring Will on Lohkhust Lord, Thrall of the SK on Overlord.

4, Dynastic Heirlooms/Relics? I'd like to use Command points before the match, so perhaps 2 relics?
Always max Relics, Veil for Overlord, Orb of E. or Voltaic Staff for the Lokhust Lord

5. Which powers for the C'tan?
hmm, maybe one that does not require sight

6. Secondaries, are there secondary objective I should consider?
Secondaries should be either 3x"pacifist" (Retrieve, To the last, Stranglehold) or 3 that reward fighting (Purge the vermin)
