This is just a list I thought of today. Open to all comments and if anyone wants to dissect my list then feel free.

CAD

--HQ--

Destroyer Lord W/ Veil of Darkness, Phase Shifter, Phylactery, Warscythe

Orikan the Diviner

--Troops-

5 Immortals Gauss Blaster

5 Immortals Gauss Blaster

--Fast Attack--

4 Tomb Blades W/ Gauss Blaster, Nebuloscope, Shield Vanes

4 Tomb Blades W/ Gauss Blaster, Nebuloscope, Shield Vanes

--Heavy Support--

Canoptek Spyder W/ Fabircator Claw Array, Gloom Prism, TWL Particle Beamer

Heavy Destroyer

Heavy Destroyer

Formation Detachment

--Judicator Battalion--

7 Triarch Preatorians W/ Rod of Covenant

7 Triarch Preatorians W/ Rod of Covenant Inside a Night Side

Triarch Stalker W/ TWL Heavy Gauss

Total:1493

Basic idea is to have the D.Lord with the normal Praetorians and use the Veil of Darkness to Deepstrike turn one and then assault on turn 2.

Then have Orikan with the other Praetorians in the Night Scythe, basiclly deploy them near enemy units, hope Orikan goes super-sayan and see my enemies models disapear infront of me.

Both immortals will fire and get objects, Tomb Blades are the same but will do the job better. Have the 2 Heavy Destroyers with the Stalker so they get +1 BS and have 3 36 inches strength 9 AP2 blast which will hoepfuly do a good bit of damage each turn.

Sypder will be used for 5+ against the witch rolls, Healing the Stalker if it takes damage and maybe shoot if something is in range.

Seems relatively solid, though it does seem you've got a good bit clustered around your stalker. The HDs and the Spider are kinda just goin' wherever he does. The Gloom Prism is generally what I consider a "sideboard item". I leave about 15-20 points(in an army this size) out of my main list for upgrades that are specifically catered to a certain army. I almost never use it, but that depends on your local meta. 2 5-man immo squads is weird to me, but they seem like a sound idea for obsec. TB also work, especially cause they're fast.
Hope this helps,

Cheers for the reply.

Well the Stalker give both Heavy Destroyers +1 BS which is handy as it means I have a better chance at hitting. Also, because the Stalker is pretty big and menacing most people target it 1st hence why I'm using a Sypder so that it has a chance to stick around for longer. I will mostly have the Stalker in cover though for a better chance of survival as well. And, because it is in a Judicator Battalion I can nominate one enemy unit in my Stalkers line of sight and have my Praetorians have re-roll failed to-hit, to-wound and armour penetration rolls against said unit which is clutch when considering I have 2 CC units.

I will have basically 3 other unit field around my Stalker but once things turn south I will just have both H.Destroyers do their own thing and have the Spyder hide behind a bit of terrain and act as a anti-flanker.

I will be going against either my brothers Tau or Thousand Sons so the Spyders Gloom Prism will be helpfully if i'm against TS. If not, ill drop the GP and have my list at 1483pts.

The reasons I have 2 immos is because I wanted to put more points towards my CC units because of me either going against Tau or TS and because Tau have horrible CC I thought it would be best to have 2 good CC units. Also, I could use the Night Scythe to pick-up any infantry unit I have and get them to disembark next turn somewhere else on the board so my immo and other infantry type units will have good board movement through out the stages and get to where they need to be.

However, I was thinking of drop the Formation and just going straight CAD with 1 unit of 10 Praetorians, Orikan and D.Lord in the night scythe, 10 warriors and 5 immos instead of 2 5 immos and a normal destroyer with a Heavy and another Heavy on its own still within the Stalkers 6 inch bubble of +1 WS.

Your thoughts?

I'm away at the moment so I will show my updated list when I get a chance to.
