I was thinking of swapping out a harvest and putting in a destroyer cult.

i suggest going with the gauss blaster cause i think its better, and you dont need whip coils for all the wraiths, i think going with two a squad is fine, i suggest finding points and putting a destroyer lord in there is also a good idea

Its pretty good but i see one big flaw and a smaller one.

Big One: If any of the missions are destroy units, the tomb blades and immortals are easy targets. Also, dont take the particle beamers, IMO. I do just fine with the gauss.

Smaller One: If Namesor is going with the immortals, That unit is going to be hit HARD. No one is afraid of immortals. It would be an easy Slay the Warlord and unit kill.

Please take the whip coils. You want to be going before other Initiative 2 guys out there.

You are going to be weak against any fliers as well, so depending on how competitive you want to go... I am running a similiar list that i am putting up soon.

Tomb blades and immortals are plenty survivable. 3+ with a 4+++ will allow them to survive unless they get focused down (which is unlikely for the immortals but likely for the tomb blades). Almost all competetive Necron lists (including the two top 8 places at LVO) use a minimum reclamation legion with more more than 6 immortals and 4 tomb blades.

Smaller One: If Namesor is going with the immortals, That unit is going to be hit HARD. No one is afraid of immortals. It would be an easy Slay the Warlord and unit kill.

I agree that Zahndrekh will do better in a squad of warriors, but he is NEVER an easy slay the warlord. T5, three wounds, 2+, 4++, and 4+++ will keep him alive nearly every time.

Necrons are resilient enough to just ignore flyers. If they drop into hover mode, they can be dealt with. In addition, the only AA we have is a night scythe, which is ok but not great, and the pylon, which is not great either.

I like it a lot. The Tomb Blades are great, if you can squeeze a third unit in there, they will win you games. I'd keep the wraiths maxed out and take from scarabs for tomb blades. Hoestly, i think they are the in the top three units in the codex along with Wraiths and Praetorians...

Can you take more than 3 wraiths in a harvest?

I thought it had to be 1 spyder, 3 scarabs, 3 wraiths.

If I'm wrong, this changes my plans!

Yes you can take up to 6 wraiths and 6 scarabs. Current convention is that you can only take one spyder however, since the formation says you can take on spyder and not a unit of spyders.
