6 Destroyers - 300pts

10 CP total
Spending 5 on Translocation Crypt and 1 on extra relic
4CP to start
The rest to be used on Extermination Protocals etc.
My plan was to use the Nephrek stratagem Translocation Crypt to deploy my 60 warriors, Lord and 6 Destroyers turn 2 within 9 inches to be in rapid fire range. The warlord and other destroyers can Veil of Darkness to give everyone 5++, +1 to RP, immune to moral, reroll 1s to Wound and a resurrection orb. Destroyer Lord stays back with Heavy Destroyers for reroll1s to wounds and to counter charge threats and soak wounds. Other Cryptek stays with them to provide 5++ and RP bonus. I know I cant deploy outside of my deployment zone turn 1 but depending on the oppenent, mission and deployment I may not wait until turn 2 to deploy half my army. If going second, at least my units will be at full strength to start. Any thoughts on the army highly welcomed. Is it a little bit competitive? A terrible idea? How could I make it better?
Thanks in advance

Have you ever heard of ghost arks ?

Yes, ive been reconsidering them with their new points drop. Ive thought about can you use the deceiver to Grand Illusion up to 3 Ghost Arcs each with 10 warriors in them?

In matched play you cant use stratagem more than ones per turn

Thanks, I didnt know that

Yes. With the orb of eternity and a ghost ark you can make three RP rolls for a unit of warriors.

Not true. You cannot use the same stratagem more than once per phase. Translocation crypt is not used in a phase, its used during deployment, there is no limit how many times it can be played. However, in matched play, at least 50% of your army has to start on the battlefield.

No, only on infantry.

So I can use Translocation Crypt on multiple units! That's cool. I understand the restrictions on having over 50% on the board and turn 1 cant be outside your deployment zone. I still feel it would be fun to play a fairly mobile silvertide list cause I like the aesthetic.

The ghost Ark's repair barge ability cant be used with either orb unfortunately.

You are wrong.

You may wish to anchor your field with a warrior screen, saving you a CP and providing a way to protect your home field objectives/screen HDs vs. T1 charges.

Adversary anti-tank will hunt your Destroyers since you have nothing else for them to target. Taking full advantage of unpenalized mobility, Fly, LOS blocking, and infantry cover saves will be key. If you spread out the HDs, that may help mitigate risk of efficient adversary concentration of fire and fill out your deployment zone versus deepstrikes, but may forego the 5++ and Reanimation bonus. Situationally dependebt.
