Bump :(

It seems alright for where you're at. I have a very similar list. If you haven't yet, I'd suggest you try out your overlord in a CCB.

Also possibly adding some additional harbingers (the destructek and chronometron have been pretty successful for me so far).

I'm assuming your running your despairtek with your deathmarks?

Yea he's with my deathmarks. I guess I should change that. Destructteks seem pretty cool but so far my problem is that most armored units don't get in range when they blast my ghost ark (where i would assume most people put their dteks). Do you use your chrono with the warrior blob?

Yes, I've been running my destruckteks with a 5 man warrior in my GA. I usually try to position it away from heavy weapons and try to flank the enemy with that on their weak side mowing through as many units as possible. I also run my Overlord in the CCB along with it too running my scarabs in the same area.

I usually try to run my wraiths up the opposite flank and warriors and immortals up the middle paired with my chrontek.

Overloading one flank seems to be a good tactic for me so far.

If you are going to take the Spyders then more Scarabs would be a good idea, and a destroyer lord would be nice with the wraiths

Ghost arks are great however I'd stick a ten man squad of warriors in it. Rush it to the objective, unload on the objective and position the GA to act as defence line on the most open side. From there you'll be able to repair warriors, move it out the way during shooting, pop off some shots with the warriors then turbo boost the GA back in front of the warriors.

I found having an annihilation barge accompanying this unit works well in conjunction.

My only beef with the GA is it's a pain in the a$$ to paint unless you paint the sections individually which you can't do if you wanna play with the damn thing!

Thanks for taking the time to give me good advice guys. I appreciate it and will definitely take all of your tips into my next game this week.

Get another despairtek to run with the deathmarks and get them a nightscythe. with the despairtek with veil, give him 2 or 3 stormteks and you will have a nice deepstriking AT unit. D lord with the wraiths and more scarabs has already been mentioned. To fill it up to 2k get another 2 5 man warrior squads in scythes as you are low on scoring.
