Only 1 AB? I would drop the Tachyon arrow (they can be usefull, but I usually miss), maybe the gift of mutation, a spawn and some cultists, and try to squeeze another AB in there, but otherwise It looks good

Well if it's an allied detachment then you can only take one heavy support option, so no more annhilation barges unless they are your primary detachment.

But as a seasoned necron

Oh yeah, sorry I forgot about that :/

Player I would have to agree, there are usually better ways to spend points then a tach arrow. For me, even with preferred enemy it just doesn't seem to make it's points back. Is there anything else you could give your chaos lord perhaps?

The main reason behind the tach arrow is I think I'm lacking a bit of anti AV14. Would you agree that's the case? Only the wraiths+lord squad, the chaos lord's melta bombs and the necron warriors gauss weapons can hurt land raiders. After a bit of playtesting I might drop it for more cultists or something if this turns out not to be an issue.
