NOVA Format 1850 Necron Decurion

[FTGTEvan]

As the subject suggests, I'm putting together a NOVA Necron list. Some important things to keep in mind about the format:

• List item 1
• List item 2
• List item 3

With that in mind, here's my list:

Decurion Detachment
Reclamation Legion:
Nemesor Zahndrekh (WL)
2x10 Warriors
5 Immortals
6 Lychguard: Dispersion Shields
3 Tomb Blades: Nebuloscopes, Particle Beamers, Shield Vanes
3 Tomb Blades: Nebuloscopes, Gauss Blasters, Shield Vanes
Royal Court:
Overlord: Veil of Darkness, Warscythe
Vargard Obyron
Orikan the Diviner
Destroyer Cult:
Destroyer Lord: Gauntlet of the Conflagrator, Warscythe
3x3 Destroyers
3 Heavy Destroyers

I've only gotten a few test games in so far, and both against Tyranids. Ignores Cover Tomb Blades are super good in that matchup, but don't want to add too many more at expense of some other elements in the army for other opponents.

The Characters go with the Lychguard to form a punchy, super durable star that holds the middle, then break out late game for objective grabs and cleanup as needed.

Thoughts?

overall it looks solid tho im not so sure about the RC to me there are better ways to spent points

An update to the list build - been leaning far more MSU than death-star, but still like using Orikan and Zahndrekh when I can. I like the idea of doing a slight adaptation (to make it NOVA-legal) to Ben Mohlie's WargamesCon list and came up with this:

Decurion Detachment;
Reclamation Legion:
Nemesor Zahndrekh
6 Lychguard: Dispersion Shields
5 Immortals
10 Warriors
10 Warriors
3 Tomb Blades: Nebuloscopes
Canoptek Harvest:
Spyder
3 Scarabs
5 Wraiths: Whip Coils
Destroyer Cult:
Destroyer Lord: Resurrection Orb
3 Destroyers
3 Destroyers
3 Destroyers
Royal Court
Orikan
Lord: Solar Staff
Overlord: Voidreaper

I could see shuffling the wargear around a bit between the characters. Some of the wargear changes from Ben's list are partly for points and partly in preparation for the meta I expect at NOVA, which is a healthy number of Battle Companies along with Seer Councils and opposing Decurions. Solar staff is there to counter D-scythes that might make an appearance.

The general gameplan is to put the D-Lord in with the Wraiths and have him tag along (while also tying back to their Spyder) and popping the ResOrb Reroll when they get some heat. The other star will be pretty slow and foot slogging, but will be super durable and take up a good portion of space with the Lychguard and bevy of characters.

My concerns are the number of units I've had to drop to build the double-deathstar. An MSU build would drop the characters completely and take 1-2 more harvests at base strength, dropping the Lychguard as well and adding more Tomb Blades.
