Seems pretty good overall to me mate. Can't go wrong with Destroyer Cult in any circumstance, Arks are solid too.

Of course you're gonna face troubles with close combat - Barges aren't that amazing imo.
You also have a lot of easy first blood pick off units and kill point give away's, but it can be avoided.
Capturing objective will also be an issue - 3 tomb blades will die, which leaves immortals as the only free unit to capture things, as everything else in the army is a pure fighting unit.

I'd be trying to make tomb blades a little more survivable with shieldvanes since they really shouldn't be a throw away unit, they have their uses.

There really aren't many small changes that can be made to fix the difficulties this list will face. But realistically it's a fine list overall and has weaknesses like any other list does.

Removing the heavy destroyers in favor of more dudes in general is probably a good idea. I dont know about your success with heavy destroyers but mine is pretty meh. They are mediocre tank destroyers, too few shots to really burn down monstrous creatures. They always seem to be too little too late for me. But they do have value.

As far as small changes there aren't many with your list, as well as many necron lists at these points. With decurion restrictions there really isnt a ton of flavor out there. The best small changes i can recommend are removing the warscythe and nightmare shroud from your barge and your upgrades on the Destroyer lord. Use these points to buff immortals and tomb blades. This makes your HQ's slightly less power full but also less of a loss when they get focused. It also adds lots of power to objective games for you as well as it gives a lot more strength 5 gauss shots.

Sorry, but I don't agree with any of that. Destroyers are his only anti-tank (and they've worked well for me in the past). He might as well not bring a warlord on a barge and leave it in the corner the entire game, because if it's not taking a warscythe it would be completely useless. Only thing I agree with is maybe dropping upgrades on Destroyer Lord and beefing up Tomb Blades.

In essence, aren't all of his Warriors and the Immortals (given they're Gauss and not Tesla, I don't think that was clarified) technically anti-tank?

I'm a fairly new player and have only played against Orks, IG, and Space Marines but I've won all my games by cruising up to tanks and walkers with my Ghost Arks and dumping 10 warriors within 12". This is usually enough Gauss overload to bring down just about anything my opponents have had.
