Hey there, so I had this crazy idea about a deathstar oriented armylist, that used not 1, not 2 but 3 deathstars (delivered to the opponent on turn 1). I dont know if incredibly competitive due to the lack of bodies, but I think it can still be fun.
Deathstar #1 is the destroyerlord-deathstar I presented recently
Deathstar #2 is the orikan + obyron + lychguard (S&B) combo
Deathstar #3 is Zahndrek + a unit of lychguard (S&B) (okay, maybe not the most incredible deathstar)

So here it comes:
CAD-list

HQ:
Destroyer lord #1: (goes into lychguard unit #1)
warscythe, phylactery, gauntlet of fire, nightmare shroud
Destroyer lord #2: (goes into lychguard unit #1)
warscythe, phylactery, veil of darkness, phase shifter

Elite:
5 Lychguard, swords and shields (Lychguard unit number 1)
5 Lychguard, swords and shields (Lychguard unit number 2)

Troops:
10 warriors in Ghost ark
10 warriors in Ghost ark

Fast attack:
Nightscythe

Heavy support:
Doomscythe

Royal court:
Nemesor Zahndrek (goes into Lychguard unit #1)
Varguard Obyron (goes into Lychguard unit #2)
Orikan the diviner (goes into Lychguard unit #2)

Tactic:
The destroyerlords and Zahndrek join one unit of lychguard, while orikan and obyron join the other.
By turn 1 you teleport lychguard unit #1 into enemy rows (pick a good spot so you wont mishap).
Now you teleport lychguard unit #2 also into enemy rows, using nemesor Zahndrek as a beacon. (as long as you land within 12'' of Zahndrekh (who is in unit 1 that has already been teleported into enemy rows) you wont scatter, so pick a nice spot.
Now run in order to prevent getting damaged too much by blastweapons

Turn 2: You unleash your deathstars. The two destroyerlords split off (together). Nemesor zahndrekh remains with 5 Lychguards (he has zealot, dont forget that!) and orikan & obyron remain with the other unit of lychguards. These 3 different targets now hunt their own targets. Against extreme-MSU lists, you can split up these 3 units in up to 7 different units (althought 6 is probably smarter as zahndrekh on him own wont do a lot)

The Ghostarks give some firesupport and the fliers are antiair and catch units that escape the deathstars grip.

Might I suggest Illuminator Scezras (I can't spell his name) instead of Orikan, just for the fact that he can spread his boost to RP in a 6" bubble. Might do better since you are running CAD and give you a bit more survivability. Although with Orikans rerolls it may not equal out. You are dropping some survivability for one squad but potentially boosting the others.

It does look like a mean list, and I think your ghost arks are going to be relatively ignored for the first few turns while your opponent figures out what to do about the deathstars.

Problem about szeras: once hes there, he does nothing except giving boons. (he is not incredibly good in CC)
Orikan on the other hand is much better in CC (even not beastmode he is not as bad)...and he is a ticking bomb. Once he goes beastmode (usually by turn 4 or 5) the opponent has basically a Ctan shard within his rows (additionaly to the 3 deathstars).
Also as you mentioned: The reroll 1 on saves is very good, especially as orikan has obyron in his unit as a tank (rerolling 2+ save is just mean)

and yeah, I hope the ghostarks get kinda ignored as the opponents focus should be on the deathstars
