Working on refining a list into something playable that is decent against most foes! Still somewhat new to this, so let me know how far off in the wrong direction I'm heading.

HQ:
Overlord (160)
-Semp
-Orb
-MSS
-Warscythe

5 Warriors w/ Night Scythe (165)

Fast Attack
6 Wraiths (250)

-2 Particle Casters (I had the points)


Heavy Support
3 Annihilation Barge - 270
-Heavy Gauss Cannon

Its pretty decent but there are a few improvements you could make.

1. change up your troops, arks can carry 10 infantry so you cant fit in your squads + crypteks and lords. Arks aren't that good unless you are supporting warriors on foot, you need to be regenning them to get your moneys worth. so i would suggest swapping things about so you end up with 1 block of 20 with 2 ghost arks with men inside. When youve done that you can afford to drop 1 orb off a lord as you will not be using reanimation on a small squad that is inside an ark.
2. with the points saved and for the way you are using your lord, why not change him out for zahndrek, he has the same wargear (basically) as your vanilla guy but for 15 points gives out so much more.
3. swap out the gauss on your barges for tesla. Chances are you will be moving hte barges so if youre snap shooting your underslung weapon it makes sense for any 6s you roll to be worth 3 hits instead of 1 (dirty math=1 hit per shot as opposed to .5)
Hope this is what you wanted advice wise

Thanks for the advice- can do. With the 20 man warrior blob and GAs, do you recommend just moving them around as a huge formation and tearing stuff up with mountains of gauss fire? I imagine that would be rather powerful with the repair coming from two arks at once...

Also, would it be worth trying to fit a Triarch Stalker into this list? I have a model lying around and I was wondering if the twin-linking of mass gauss fire would make it worth the points.

the arks and warrior formation is how you basically run them yeah, moving them about to provide cover etc as required.

As to your stalker....mmm...its 150 points to twinlink vs 1 unit. If youre doing av 13 spam then sure its good (as its from the elite slot).If you have a monolith/doomsday then twinlinking a large blast is good. If you're using destroyers, immortals with tesla, lots of deathmarks, lots of despairteks without deathmarks and HfH then twinlinking is good. With what you're running (all HS already twinlinked) the only way i'd say the stalker would be good would be if you brought at least another 2 destrukteks. Even then ask yourself, best case scenario, what are you going to want to fire 1 str 9 shot at to twinlink the rest of your (str4) army against? I'd say play a few games with it in before deciding for yourself, but personally I'd be more inclined to get more crypteks for your warrior squads. You've paid a heavy premium on 2 not very killy lords to access 2 courts, make the most of that.
