Voltaic staff isn't worth the cp on a Cryptek.
Maybe drop the monolith, take a 3rd DDA and max out warrior and immortal squads.
Make Cryptek the same dynasty as the warriors as he makes them so much more survivable.
Make spearhead detachment with the lord and dda's- nihilakh of course.
Take veil of darkness instead of time splinter cloak, its the best relic in the codex by far.
Destroyer and tombs blades are really good.
Maybe get to get some mwbd to get the tomb blades to hit harder.

unfortunately you can't mwbd on tomb blades. They're not infantry.

My whole issue with them. If they were infantry they would be pretty good but just really good shooting scarabs at 8x the cost.

I don't personally favor warriors but a single unit might be effective screen. Immortals all the way especially Tesla even more so if it's a small squad. What are you doing with 5 immortals.... Cover and holding a objective so guass (especially 5 out of rapid fire range) isn't very effective. Even with Tesla's 0/ap.

P.s. you want 3 DDAs. You want more but can't have them.

The most effective screen is scarabs. Monolith is gak. Get a third DDA instead. Use the rest of the points for more scarabs, immortals, warriors.
