Here is what I am debating bringing to my FLGS 1k tournament next month, and I was looking for a bit of C&C on it, lemmie know what you think.

D-Lord (SW/MSS/WE) 160
x6 Wraiths x3 coils 240
A barge (tesla) 90
A barge (tesla) 90
A barge (tesla) 90
x10 Warriors 130
x7 warriors 98
x7 warriors 98
996 pts


My plan for flyers is use the barges as pinch AA, between three of them, I should be able to kill almost anything in a round of shooting.
The wraiths and Destroyer Lord target my enemy's strongest assault unit, and bring them low
The immortals can advance up the board, claim objectives, and assist in a pinch in assault. With 20 of them on the field, I should have a strong base line of troops.

What are your thoughts?

You can take off 1 coil to have the reght amount of points. Use warriors in this list. Tesla can't .hurt vehicles. Warriors are also 5 points less so you can get more coils.

Yeah, first you need to drop those extra 10 points.

I would say its a good list, the Annihilation barges should take care of all the mech you will face. The only problem is you have nothing to deal with AV 14. Maybe swap one immortal squad for warriors. Maybe in a night scythe with the cryptek that has the haywire gun.

I like the list, but i would be concerned that you only have 1 decent assault unit, so if the wraiths get swarmed by let's say termagaunts (oh who could possibly be bringing those right??) then you are kinda SOL and you have pretty much no unit to rescue them from assault. Also, thinking about this, you only have two scoring units. And at this tournament, VPs are big. It will be really really unlikely that you will win the top prize even if you win all of your matches because only having two scoring units will limit your top VP points you can score. Just saying. But i like the list, it looks pretty nasty. But once again, you are sinking a ton of points into your death star, and if you face an enemy that has a way to circumvent that death star, you are kinda sol..

Looks pretty scary though

Thanks for the feedback so far guys, i've updated the list to use warriors, and get it below the 1k point threshold. Few more bodies on the field is helpful right?
I've added the new list up top.

Yeah...thisisnotpancho....gaunts....gaunts...gaunts...ideally i'll send them after a Hive Tyrant when i down it with the barges, they'll shred it in assault. Otherwise, good point with the VP's. If only it was 1250 points...

Damn, yeah if only. I like the new list though. Still think it wouldn't be so hot against the new list that the tyranid player will bring. He's looking to bring 3 tervigons and the doom. Period....

Your list is pretty good. I wouldn't change anything.

Thanks sounddemon
Anything else for the good of the cause?

Also

The D-lord and wraiths absolutely own av 14 in melee, just a matter of getting close.

The only weakness your army glaring presents is a lack of psychic protection, but almost every necron army has this problem.

Your weakest matchup might be against Space Wolves but if you can close the distance and get your wraiths in to assault , you shouldn't be that be far off.
