the idea with the warriors was to reserve and walk on to a home objective . the army i am trying to build overall i want to be skimmer and flyer based so wraiths alhough great in this list will not fit later on .
although i like the harbringer idea
Edit: played my 750 game last night . was against vanilla marines with some sprshial character a couple of tac squads (ML, plasma) and a storm talon .
it went very well tabled my opponent with a loss of just the lord and hes bargr .
i did learn just how tough flyers are for the list in the direction it was heading so i decided i needed more to deal with that and the hq guy in took two turns of full rapid fire to the face to die . as necrons dont do low ap very well and the lord should be hitting vehicles or crappy guys i decided the best way to deal with both of these problems is more tesla ( as u will see in my next list )

so played deamons for my 1k game (wd update list)
he had
herald
6 screamers
6 screamers
5 flamers
5 flamers
5 plagues
5plagues
5 plagues
9 plagues
was emporers will and diagonal deployment on a 4x4 board he won the role so i went first
i deployed the ghost arks in an l shape with the annihilation barges sat within the arks and the board edge and turbo'ed the ccb towards he's objective. he droped he's 9 man plague squad by he's objective and the two 5 man ones in a position to get mine ( the 3rd misshaped and went back into reserve).
i then sweeped and assaulted the 9 man squad with the ccb killing half. shot up 4 out of 5 of one of the 5 man squads .
he's turn two he droped the lamers and screamers by my ghosts and barges. he took two hull points of a barge with flamers and turboed the screamers behind cover.
turn 3 i killed the flamers finished of the lone plague and the 9 man squad and put a few wounds on the screamers.
he then droped the last 5 man squad by he's own objective and then multi assaulted both barges and and ark killing them all with the screamers.
turn 4 i droped troops on hes objective and flew of the board. then shot up the screamers leaving 2 in one unit and one in the other. then i assaulted he's herrald with the lord
he assaulted my remaining ark with he's screamers losint two to overwatch and assaulted the plagues in my deployment into my warriors that fell out of the other ark.
the rest of the game was spent pretty much fighting cc to which it ended up he had one flamer unit and one plague left on he's objective and i had my nightscythe and a warrior squad left on my objective and a warrior squad in my deployment zone and my lord killed the herald and got line breaker
so i won thanks to my lord killing the herald and the fact i got first blood
The things i learnt from this game is that i need more mobility . so the counter this for my next list i am thinking of getting another night scythe unit and another annihilation barge which will look something like this

i was woundering on the effectiveness of the lord with out the mindshackle scarabs but i have to be honest so far they have not been very successful for me so i am hoping that the loss of them will not be such a big issue ...
