Cad Necron 1000pt tournament list

[lacman95]

Hq
Destoryer lord 110pt
void reaper 30pt
phase shifter 25pt

elites
flayed ones X8 104pt

troops
12x warriors 156pt

10x warriors ghost ark 235pt

Fast attack
4 wraiths with whip coils 172pt

heavy support
Dooms day ark 170pt

1002pt total

The D-lord will do with the warriors if attacking and flayed ones if i need to go on the defensive.
the flayed ones will infiltrate and support the wraiths or if i'm on the defensive i'll use them to bubble wrap the dooms day ark and be a counter to an assault.
the doom day ark will be arty support.
the ghost ark will stay close to the D-lords unit and provide reinforcement

What are your thoughts on the list?
Anything need changing in the list or any tactics or strategy tips?

Hello, I am not a necron pro player, but here are my general thoughts:

As HQ I strongly recommend command barge with phase shifter. Warscythe or staff of light are optional. Warscythe has potential in CC, staff can unleash 3 shots with S5AP3 at BS5, even when jinking previous turn. Barge has AV13 so it is untouchable by S6 weapons like devourers or scatter lasers. Haywire, melta, lance can be allocated to overlord with 4++ and 5+ RP, so command barge is really difficult to take down.

Destroyer lord with void reaper and shifter is cool option, but I would take him if I ran 3 units of wraiths. Now I could attach destroyer lord to wraiths, for look outs and preferred enemy for entire unit, and go hunting WKs and IKs. Rest wraith units will still be available to tarpit something in CC.

As for troops, I suggest 2 minimal units of immortals embarked upon night scythe. Twin tesla destructors are fantastic. Furthermore, scythes can disembark objective secured immortals on marker (no scatter), even when moved 36''. This is very powerful move, especially in eternal war missions. Even when scythe is destroyed, embarked immortals will enter from own table edge.

Overall more wraiths . Whip coils are optional. If charged through difficult terrain, their initiative is 1. If You favour defensive play and wraiths would more likely receive a charge, whip coils are a way to go.

Heavy destroyers are also competitive unit. Durable jet infantry (additional move in assault phse) with lascannons and preferred enemy. Effective against WK/IK and others.

I hope I helped a little.

I was leaning towards an overlord on the command barge, but things like pask punisher and riptide heavy burst cannon will wipe the barge out.

But however if i swap the D-lord for the Barge and do some shuffling

Yes, these weapons are quite nasty against ccb. You may either apply S5/S6 rending hits on AV13 barge with 4+ jink save or T5, 3+/4++ and 5+ RP overlord.
