I made this list to try and get as many rerolls as possible, I'm wondering what you guys think and how it could be improved while retaining the theme of the list.

Decurion Detachment

Reclamation Legion
Nemesor Zandrekh 150 pts.
5 immortals 85 pts.
10 warriors 130 pts.
10 warriors 130 pts.
5 tomb blades (w/ shieldvanes and nebuloscopes) 110 pts.
5 tomb blades (w/ shieldvanes and nebuloscopes) 110 pts.

Judicator Battalion
2 Triarch Stalkers 250 pts.
5 Triarch Praetorians (Rods of Covenant) 140 pts.
5 Triarch Praetorians (Rods of Covenant) 140 pts.
1 Night Scythe 130 pts.

Destroyer Cult
Destroyer Lord 110 pts.
3 Destroyers 120 pts.
3 Destroyers 120 pts.
3 Destroyers 120 pts.

total: 1845 pts.

strategy
Zandrekh joins the immortals, who screen the Triarch stalkers along with the Warriors. They will be firing at bs 5, rerolling 1s starting turn 2 when Zandrekh switches his warlord trait to target priority. The destroyer lord sticks out a bit, since I couldn't afford any upgrades, I don't know what to do with him. The destroyers will also remain near the stalkers to benefit from the +1 bs bubble. They have preferred enemy, so they will be hitting on 2s rerolling, and they also reroll their to wound and armor penetration rolls. The tomb blades and praetorians will be objective grabbers, but they can also put out a lot of firepower. The tomb blades will have their tl ignore cover gauss blaster shots, while the praetorians have their ap2 rods of covenant that will be rerolling to hit and to wound if they fire at a specific unit thanks to the judicator battalion's bonus. The night scythe is mainly for anti-air or anti vehicle, although the tesla destructor is only strength 7 it is tl and can benefit from the judicator battalion's rules to reroll to wound/penetrate.

possible changes
I've thought about dropping the Nemesor in exchange for a stock overlord so that I can upgrade the D-Lord. I've also considered dropping the night scythe in exchange for a couple heavy destroyers. There would be enough points left over to upgrade the destroyer lord or give the stalkers tl heavy gauss cannons

Yeah, played this list not too long after the codex dropped, and it's currently undefeated.

The Destroyer Lord hands out PE to whatever unit he joins, so keep that in mind, You could easily have a unit of Warriors or something on the other side of the Stalkers to kind of spread out, and not worry about being out of 12 of Zandrakh.

Thanks for the feedback, you're right the destroyer lord could be useful giving PE to his unit. If this or a similar list is undefeated in your area, what has caused it the most trouble? I feel that fast cc units, mobile ObSec, and mass invuln saves could be a strong counter.

Ironically enough, the first time I used a list like that was against my friends Khorne Daemons list with one of the new Bloodthirsters. The Bloodthirster was the only model he had left on the board at the end of the game.

Next time it was against Tau, which also went really well. The Praetorians decimated the Riptide, and all of his suits just fell to the AP3.

Then I played against Orks, and they actually did the best against my list. However, once they chewed up a few units, they got thoroughly obliterated. *Side Note, also had a Praetorian die in Overwatch from a Gretchin.

Glad to hear it performs well against Khorne daemons, that surprised me a little considering their cc prowess and army wide invuln. I can see how it would do well against tau, particularly a mech heavy list with lots of 3+ saves. The result with the orks doesn't surprise me, the list is too shooty and mobile to be charged by footslogging boyz, and transports like trukks are going to get blown off the table by the destroyers and stalkers.
*My condolences for your praetorian. That's a tough way to go!
