My question is about both lash whips and whip coils from nids and necrons respectively

Was wondering why so many people mention to equip the tyrant guards with lash whips for the swarmlord but I didnt think that lash whip could affect inside a challenge and the few things that actually hit hard enough to hurt the swarmlord and still have Ini6 or more are character which will just challenge and avoid the lash whips.

So to make the question clear, can a daemon prince challenge a swarmlord to avoid going to ini 1 from lash whips that his tyrant guards are hypothetically wearing?

You mean even though the daemon prince would be in B2B with the swarm lord and one or more guards, right?

While in a challenge, the two models count as only being in base contact with one another.

If the Nid player charges, he can choose for Whips to be resolved, then Challenge.

If the Demon player charges, he can choose to challenge first. Yes, this would avoid Lash Whips. It's not just to save the Swarmlord - it helps when charging into terrain as well, and to keep the Guard alive...
