So the idea is to make good use of the object secure and 6" forward rules to begin with. The scarabs and spyders can lock in cc enemies and can even put some damage thanks to the advisor cryptek. Warriors are there to sit on objectives, and the doomstalkers kinda babysit them. Now that I think about it, I gabe the first cryptek a canoptek cloack to heal them, but I should probably give him the canoptek control node to boost their attacks. The spyders heal the scarabs, the technomancers reanimate the warriors. We try to out number the opponent on the objectives lin enough to gain more VP than them.
What do you think of it ?

Well, 3x20 Warriors is a good start.
I don't like Spyders but I guess you want them in due to the Scarabs.
However, I'd rethink about the HS.
I'd prefer LHD's and no armored units.

Have you played many games with this army yet?

Unless you can hide the reanimator its trash fyi and becuase you want the warrior squads pushing up I think you'll find that quite difficult.

put a res orb on the lord and you'll have a much better time. Also you'll probs want a chronomancers 5++ at some point. For a couple of cp a turn one technomancer can res d3 warriors from two separate units anyway

Well, I think its better to have a SK when you run lots of Warriors.

I think dropping one squad of warriors down to ten and bringing a ghost ark would solve a lot of problems for you, they help reanimating and movement without losing much firepower. Good luck with your robits
