Split the 10 Scarabs into 2x5 for better choice of targets. The two Lords also seem a bit pointless in this list.

One scarab unit is to few for a farm. If you lose that one unit your spiders will have nothing to add scarabs too.

6 Coils is a waste of points. 3 are plenty.

"Royal Court Destrotek, Lord Solar Pulse, Lord with Mindshackle 100"

The above entry is confusing, do you mean you have a destruction cryptec with a solar pulse but no Lance and a lord with MindShackle scarabs but no War Scyth? Why ever take a Lord with no Scyth or a destruco with no Lance?

There's a bit of a twist here. Nemesor Zahndrekhhh whatever will give a scarab unit "Furious Charge" in our turn etc, in which case all of a sudden they turn into a mondo butt-stomping unit with a bazillion attacks, and the bigger they are the more they benefit from the special ability. This is actually one of Reecius's builds here. By funnelling all the spawned scarabs into one unit he builds this uber nasty block of 50+ scarabs with 250+ S4 attacks that you can use not only against armor but against most anything.

Yea sorry for the court confusion, i write these out in excel and they sometimes dont transfer well... what i meant was i have 1 Cryptek with the Lance and Pulse, and the Lord with Midshackle Scarabs. the idea was that Zandrekh and Imotekh as well as the Court would be in the Warrior unit, and i forgot to add the warscythe to the Lord.
To change i would add the Warscythe and Drop 3 Whip Coils, adding 1 more Destrotek with the Lance to fill the points straight to 2000. (i think)
