Thank you for advice in advance.

Is there a particular play reason why you are using Zahndrek other than the fact that he has an Orb? I was just thinking that Anrakyr might be better because you get the immortals upgraded to eternals for free (giving them FC and counterattack) plus in CC Anrakyr has a warscythe (useful for opening vehicles) and he also has mind in the machine. He doesn't have an orb, though so you may need to find points for another lord with res orb.

Also, the immortals would be better off as Tesla, because then you can move and shoot further.

Alternatively, if you replace Zahndrek with an Olord with Phaeron, your blob would become relentless.

Re your Fast attack, I would personally swap 3 wraiths for 7Scarabs if you have them. the interweb is saying 3 wraiths is not an optimal number, particularly without whip coils.

The reason i like Zahndrek is the fact that he passes out buffs and debuffs, this allows him to soften charges from hard targets with FC, and buff my annihilation barges to str 8 or even give my wraith furious charge. Also he good survivability with T5 2+/3++ and a overlord with the same gear costs 180 pt. Also Zahndrek joins the Immortals, the Cryptek joins the Immortals as well, leaving the necron lord to the warriors.

Ok, course he can only give 1 special rule to 1 unit per turn. Don't forget he can also give stealth!
