If you really want to use D-Scythes you could always attach Illic Nightspear and Infiltrate them right in range of a unit that you want to kill turn 1.

Just a thought

No you can't.

As per RAW, yes - but it's strongly suggested in terms of RAI that Infiltrate can confer from ICs.

It's up to your group how you want to play it.

I don't believe it is intended. It would be absurd to allow any infiltrating character to bring any unit with them. The potential for insane abuse is endless. (The situation you mentioned being perfect example.)

Space Marine FAQ:

Page 92 Kayvaan Shrike, See, But Remain Unseen.
Replace this entry with the following: “See, But Remain Unseen: Shrike (and any models in a unit chosen from Codex: Space Marines that he has joined before deployment) benefit from the Infiltrate special rule).

RAI, Shrike and any squad that he has joined should be able to infiltrate - but he still have no permission to join a squad before deployment.

What's the difference between Shrike conferring Infiltrate and Illic?
