Well, I've been considering this. Ok, so in a big enough battle, you can have 4 squads of elites. Make that four ten-man lychguard squads. Then get trazyn, with a royal court of 5 crypteks with Veil of Darkness. Bounce them around the board, making sure each is near enough a massed unit, and when Trazyn dies, he'll have wiped out a good chunk and will join another, who can do the same while Trazyn bounces around the field before returning (if they survived) to the main army through your other overlords court of normal Lords or the Overlord himself, who's own cryptek can throw you back into the battle with the other lords with, say warscythes so you can swipe your way through the army, doom arks or something like that blow any vehicles out of the sky. Would that work..?

You can only take 1 veil of darkness per court.

No, it won't really work :(
Because if you have a gigantic army, your opponent will have a gigantic army too.
What you are describing is at least 1500 points for this trick alone (out of the 2k you need for double FOC)
And in a Necron-list, I can think of more fun and OP things to do with 1500+ points.

It would be fun in Apocalypse though, since you have a Formation with 5 units of Lychguard and Trazyn.
It gives Victory Points and has a way to give them all 3++

Yeah, I kinda' revised my plan... he'll bounce around to whatever unit Trazyn's joined

He can't. A Despair-tek is not an IC. He can't split off from/join units once the game starts.
