Your decurion is illegal. You need two separate units of warriors. Also, your destroyer cult is a separate formation which doesn't meet the requirements ( I think it's 3 different units of destroyers).

Tomb blades are one of the best parts of the decurion. You should really run squads of 5-6 of them with shield veins and nebuloscopes. Multiple small squads could be OK at 1k points.

It is 2 10 man warrior units. I know that's fine and okay I'm trying to stay with the decurion. I like the tomb blades and my friend said I should do judicator battalion With the praetorians. But I'm just trying to figure out what to do. I know one of my buddies runs the living tomb and destroyer cult and nothing else

Also it states in the codex that a single unit of destroyers is at least 1 destroyer. So my three destroyers plus the destroyer lord works with the decurion

You should write the list out to be more readable then. When you say 3x destroyers, or 20x warriors it seems like they are one squad. It's generally best to separate the formations and detachments when listing them.

I would not suggest taking squads of single destroyers. With what you want to take 1k points might be too limiting.

I also just realized you have a Cryptek which isn't part of the decurion either.

I might suggest reorganizing your list appropriately with the main decurion, then list out the other formations you would like to bring.

Okay and I understand it's hard to do what I'm trying to do with such a low point limit im just trying to get into necrons

No it doesn't. The Destroyer Cult requires each unit of Destroyers to have at least 3 models in it (read the box that says "Restrictions"). So you need a minimum of 9 Destroyers and a Destroyer Lord to include Destroyers in a Decurion.

You also can't take a Cryptek in a Decurion unless you're purchasing a Royal Court.

Here's what you can do with the models you're showing.

Decurion:
Reclamation Legion:
Overlord w/ voidreaver, phase shifter, gauntlet of fire (this guy isn't doing much alone. I'd give him a unit of Lychguard to travel with or put him in a command barge)
10x Warriors
10x Warriors
10x Immortals (stick to 5 man unless you plan to do something with these)
3x Tomb Blades w/ Shieldvanes, particle beamers (up the count of these to at least 5 and maybe consider gauss instead of beamers)

Destroyer Cult:
Destroyer Lord (give him upgrades... warscythe and phase shifter are good starts. Nightmare Shroud is also useful)
3x Destroyers
3x Destroyers
3x Destroyers
1x Heavy Destroyer

See how I formated that? It's easy to tell what units are part of what formation and how many of each model there is.

Well thank you for pointing that out and I went a different route for a 1000 points Im putting it up now. Could you possibly take a look at that

I just got back into Necrons recently. So my available models is also limited.

Command Barge do not have my list with me but this is 170 points.
Phylactery -

10x Warriors on Ghost Ark
10x Warriors on Ghost Ark
15x Warriors
5 x Immortals
3 x Tomb Blades - Shieldvanes, Nebuloscope and Particle Beamer


I really want to get a different model besides command barge. Put some more points into Tomb Blades or maybe a Night Scythe(for the Immortals).

Next unit will be two Doom Scythes for that detachment. Minus some Warriors to get me to 1250.

I guess it rele is hard to stay in the decurion for a 1000 point army. But I'm just getting into necrons and have no models yet but will by the end of the semester. I try to make a halfway decent list that can be built upon later so I don't have to buy too many models at first
