Hi everyone,

I will be facing a Grey Knight player with multiple Nemesis DreadKnights and I need help to build my list (+maybe Draigo star, storm raven spam, etc.).
Mission will be ITC#2.
I intend to play the following units (927pts) but I'm not sure what to add (for the 923 points left). I'm open to allies and can use proxy if needed.

What I will play at least (though it's not optimal against Grey Knight)
3x20 Plague zombies (= 60 Wounds, Fearless, FnP 4+)
3x3 Rapier laser destroyers (= 9 x 36’’ s9 ap2 Ordnance 1, Twin-linked)
3x1 Earthshaker (= 3 x 36’’-240'' s9 ap3 Ordnance 1, Barrage, Blast 5’’).
2x2 Thudd guns (= 16 x 12’’-60’’ s5 ap5 Blast 3’’)
2x1 Wyvern (= 8 x s4 ap6 Shred, Blast 3'')
+HQ and its command squad
I might also play the void shield generator.

So I was think about the following :

[#1]
~850 points of Necron allies in the form of
Bunker with escape hatch to propulse 10 Lychguards and a Royal court, giving me, among others, 20 attacks S7 AP2 with Armourbane, with four 4++ in the unit, Orikan and Cryptek (+2 to Reanimation, and re-roll failed saving throws of 1), Solar staff so the enemy can only snap shot against them for a turn. Majority toughness of 5. Move through cover. There is also the possibility to take the Dispershield instead (twenty 3++), though their weapon would be AP3 (and I need those AP2), but I could buy war scythe to accompanying characters (it would only be 7 AP2 attack though).

[#1]
~850 points of Necron allies in the form of
3 Sentry Pylon (480 points) and Royal court to join the Sentry Pylon for heavy protection (2++ rerollable, solar staff, etc.). I'm wondering if it's worth it. The Sentry Pylon has the old death ray shot, so you pick a point within 24'', then you trace a line of 3D6''. Since the unit comprised 3 Sentry pylons, enemy units will suffer SIX S10 AP1 hits for each model under the line. I think it's easy to hit 4 models and to have TWENTY-FOUR hits. It's way better than the Praetorians. To be honest, what else can put that many S10 AP1 hit against infantry unit for 480 points? With the royal court, the unit would also have relentless and move through cover. // My major concern with this list is that I would only have 60 zombies within me and the assaulting grey knights.

For this game I could not play daemons, but would they be great allies in general for that Renegades list?

I'm open to other ideas, please help me!
