Help with Necron HQ choice (1000 points)

Hello, I'm new to 40k and picked up an old necron battleforce from oxfam and an ebay monolith (the immortals and deathmarks were a gift that I want to include). I'm not running decurion because I don't like the visuals of tomb blades and my kit came with destroyers. With that in mind I have some extra freedom with my army lists and I'm a tad overwhelmed.

Can you guys please help me pick a hq for my army list? Here's what I have so far. (I made a rubbish host website when battlescribe output my lists in html. have included them for readability)

Option one - Catacomb command barge. 230 points

Have a CCB with a s5 flamer and s8 warscythe, zip around stabbing tanks and cooking fodder

Option two - Cryptek + lychguard 240 points

5 warscythes + veil of darkness + Chronometron. Use Veil to relocate warscythe murder party, chronometron for some defense vs shooting attacks.

Option three - Overlord and flayed ones 240 points

Deep strike overlord and flayed ones. stab things.

Option four - Destroyer lord and a few more warriors 190 points

Deep strike lord with deathmarks to give preferred enemy on their alpha strike. Fly off and murder tanks.

I'm hoping I can use the monolith portal to relocate infantry if they get out of position and to act as a beachhead. My ideal plan is to drop the pyramid in the enemy battle line and tank shots while pouring warriors and immortals out. Basically I want to play the dow Dark crusade cinematic.

Which of these options do you think:

  1. Supports or contributes to that style?

  2. Is most fun to play against?

  3. Provides some room for future expansion?

I welcome any other thoughts or suggestions, I haven't actually managed to play a game yet as I'm in the process of painting 24 armless warriors. However, I'm really excited to go down to my local gw when its all done. Bonus first 4 warrior pictures
