Whatup Dakkanaught

I always liked the C'tan Shards but I never really considered them since I find them too expensive for how strong they are. So instead of looking at them for their close combat might or shooting prowess I figured they could be worth their points if I get the powers which affect the battlefield and the tactics that we might use.
After going through all of the powers I am settling on Grand Illusion and Writhing Worldscape.
I really wish I could get a third power cuz I would totally add Transdimentional thunderbolt too but you gotta work with what you got and they chose to limit them to 2 special powers.

Anyways I really like the feel of Writhing Worldscape, the opponent is constricted in his movement anywhere on the board, this power really makes the opponent feel like hes fighting against a god, all the normal rules of what he thought he knew about the world is changing.
it'll make him very wary of hugging terrain since if he touches any terrain he has chances of losing dudes. This makes the Grand illusion be particularly usefull since once he chose where he wanted to put his dudes (outside of terrain), the Doomsday Arks are 100% gonna be able to have good shots at them as they come over since Ill get to reposition them.

So here is the list

190 1x Destroyer Lord / Sempitermal Weaves / MSS / Tachyon Arrow

219 7x Immortals - Night Scythe
219 7x Immortals - Night Scythe

260 1x C'tan Shard - Grand Illusion - Writhing Worldscape

240 6x Wraiths / 3x Whipcoils
160 4x Wraiths / 2x Whipcoils
160 4x Wraiths / 2x Whipcoils

175 1x Doomsday Ark
175 1x Doomsday Ark
200 1x Monolith

Total 1998pts

The goal is make him come to me, keep the Wraiths in front of the Arks to give them a cover save and blast away with them. The Monolith is there to give backup to the Arks in case the opponent has deepstrikers or flankers or something to get close while staying out of the Arks line of sight, the Wraiths can move forward if needed since they move fast. the C'tan is a bodyguard of my Arks and Monolith. The Immortals can come out of the Scythes, the Monolith or the back if they prefer so I got some nice choice here.
Night Scythes are AA and could drop off the Immortals on a objective.

Seems like a fun list

What do you guys think?

i think it needs a few more troops. other than that looks fairly evil

ya, I wouldn't mind more troops but I wouldn't know where to get the points. I suppose I could take out the Tachyon Arrow but I would just barely miss by 2pts to be able to get 2 more immortals.
Nothing else seems to be a good idea to change.
Does anyone have sugestions?

so first thing i'm seeing is that there only a moderate amount of shooting to take advantage of that c'tan power. I'd love to see a small unit of warriors in a ghost ark maybe with harmonic harp thingy that pairs well with writhing worldscape Maybe in exchange for a unit of wraiths?

Wow, I totally forgot about the Tremorstaves, 36" range blast weapon that will make a unit hit by it count open ground as difficult terrain. that works really well with Writhing worldscape.

I would need an Overlord to get a court so that changes the whole feel of the list. I think this list is pretty solid as is, but I do want to see what I could do with a tremorstaff and Writing worldscape Combo. probably no Wraiths in that list I guess.

listbuilding YAY!!!!
