I built up a small 1000 Pt Army, its just a Casual list for messing around at the local game store.

Decurion Detachment

Reclaimation Legion

HQ

Catacomb Command Barge: 180 Pt
>Gauss Cannon
>Warscythe
>Phase Shifter

Troops

10X2 Warriors

5 Immortals
>Gauss Blasters

FA
3 Tomb Blades
>TL Gauss Carbines
>Armor Vanes
>Nebuloscope

Judicator Battalion

5X2 Triarch Praetorians
>1st Rods of Covenant
>2nd Voidblade+Particle Caster

Triarch Stalker
>Heat Ray

My Strategy is that I will hang near the start of the board and try to shoot the Army, while my CCBarge will protect my Warriors from getting Assaulted by dudes, while my Tomb Blades will charge any stray units. my Triarch Praetorians will hide behind cover and ambush the enemies flanks.

C&C Please

I like it, makes a change from the standard canoptek/reclamation decurion lists (guilty).

Why are you running Veil of Darkness and Mind Shackle Scarabs on the Catacomb Command Barge? The Barge is fast enough to get just about anywhere on the board so paying a premium for a one shot deep strike is very wasteful in points. Also Mindshackle Scarabs is garbage in the new codex.

For the Barge, I would purchase equipment in this priority:

1) War Scythe
2) Phase Shifter
3) Nightmare Shroud
4) Phylactery
5) Gauntlet of Fire

I just added in the MS because I had extra points, I used the Veil of Darkness in case I need to DS out of getting my buttkicked, like for an example, doing a DS behind a Tau gunline instead of wasting turns marching up to it, but I'll take your advice. thanks mate

If you're looking for fun units, try out some Praetorians. To take away from fun factor, Lychguard are much better with Hyperphase Swords and Dispersion Shields and based on how you intend to use them, the Swords and Shields are the better option.

Actually that sounds like a pretty cool idea. I'll try out the Praetorians, thanks for the advice!

Agree with all the above, lychguard are good in a Death Star as a wound pool for your nasties. Preatorians are better almost everywhere else because of mobility ap2 shooting AND melee. Mine normally do a lot of heavy lifting, haven't tried the formation yet, looks super fun for them.
