Essentially a shoot em up kinda list.... using the triarch stalkers to target important enemy units early game and to tar pit or speed bump infantry units as the game goes on. Using the OL as a free safety. Think of him as my Rodney Harrison... Patriots circa early 2006. :p

Warrior squads seem a bit small.

I think you can cut back on the wargear for the overlord. Barge Lords should be kept mean, and lean.
The annihilation barges do not benefit from the twin-linking on the Stalkers...
You also completely ignore our best slot... the Fast Attack. Wraiths and scarabs do a number on armor.
If it was me, I'd drop the stalkers, beef up the warrior squads and take something in the Fast Attack slot.

Okay, what you need to do is to drop the Overlord down to warscythe, MSS, Phylactery and CCB. comes in at only 210 points, so you still have 1540 points to put into other things. Since Lords and Crypteks aren't individual characters, you could have both and cryptek and a lord with Resurrection Orb in each squad of warriors (and lords only have to be upgraded with ROs). with Fast Attack add in scarabs due to their TH abilities and stripping armor. Warrior squads should be boosted up to around 8 men each, to keep survivability high and be able to hold objectives if thats the scenario.

Those are Tomb Stalkers, not Triarch Stalkers.
They can dish out a pretty good beating in CC.

Point... Since they were in the elite slot, I assumed that they were the Triarch Stalkers. I think that the Tomb Stalkers are in the Heavy Support slot.
My advice doesn't change though... I'd still drop them in favor of scarabs, wraiths, and more warriors in the barges.

Now did you mean to list Triarch Stalkers the twin linking walkers? or Tomb stalkers, the forgeworld CC beatstick, because tomb stalkers are also heavy support choices.
Since Lords and Crypteks aren't individual characters, you could have both and cryptek and a lord with Resurrection Orb in each squad of warriors (and lords only have to be upgraded with ROs).
Remember, you can only have one member of a royal court per unit, eg, one or the other, and the lords are a massive point sink with res orbs. If they dont get out of the arcs, they'll be fine. Grab lanceteks with them to boost their power
