-If I wanted to use Nemesor its hard to hide anywhere
-I like idea of deathmarks for possible centurions, at least wound them a lot
-I want to run lots of wraiths
-Should I drop some wraiths to get one more barge?
-I could drop deathmarks for one more troop and 1 wraith for one more barge
-What do you think? Any suggestions?

I don't think you have enough troops to reliably win games. Just my humble opinion.

Thank you for your reply. I'm going back and forth between one more scythe troop + barge, and dropping deathmarks, one wraith and despairtek. But I know there will be centurionstars so despairtek was for that.

Who's Imohtek and the Chrono guy hanging out with? Do you really need 3 Wraith Squads? You should at least have 3 troop choices. Despairtek w/ Deathmarks is a great unit don't dump it. Maybe dump one of the wraiths and consider getting Nemesor instead of Imohtek?
He not only takes away but gives special abiliies. Giving a unit of Wraiths Hit and Run is kind of kick butt.


Nemesor Zandrekh Saves 40 points
Removing one squad of Wraiths gives you 230 more points
You don't need the Chrono guy so that's another 40 points
So now you have 310
Annihilation Barge is 90
Another Troop with Night Scythe is 165.
You still have 60 points left over to do something with.

Taking hit and run away from Gravstar centurion nonsense with Zandrekh and sticking one or two wraith units on them is a good way of taking them out of the game.

Also, Zandrekh in a bastion with destrukteks (tank hunting) can be good. You can have a quad gun on the roof with a single BS5 tomb blade manning it for 3+ cover as well if you want (bit squishy) or no upgrades to bastion and put an annihilation barge up there for 4+cover and no snap shooting.

Well given that you have to take a named character, and cant take allies, you wont be seing any Seer Councils. Beast Star, and 2++ Deamons will still be there, but i think this list looks good against those armies.

I agree with Hollismason's advice. You could use the 60 points to swap some Warriors for Imortals

Well personally I'd go with the advise to use Zandrekh I'd ditch the deathmarks and a unit of wraithes and take 4 scythes with warriors and an extra a Barge.

Your biggest issue would probably be a daemon flying circus as really all they lose is a heldrake. Kairos 3 maxed out Slanesh daemon princes a keeper of secrets and 2-3 units of troops would more or less ruin your day.
