So some guy at another forum decided to take Obyron, give him every single piece of gear in the Necron Codex and then face him off against various enemies. This was meant as more of a fluffwise thing, but I found myself unable to resist the temptation of going over the Codex and writing up the full statline.

Without further ado, I hereby present you with

Still more balanced than the R'varna.

Player A: Player B, what does the statline say about his points cost?
Player B: IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAND!

Should totally make a model of Obyron standing on top of a Doomsday cannon with all those other Necron cannons glued to its sides and three staffs and a hyperphase sword strapped on his back.
