What is the best way to use this particular Necron HQ? I know that, obviously, he works better with units that are not long ranged, but what in particular would you advise? Also, how OP is he in apoc?

In my opinion, he's not THAT good actually. He is decent and helpful when using hammer and anvil deployment as well as helps to seize the initiative.

The reason why I say he's not THAT good is that many times allies play into our armies and any ally that is not a battle brother can get hit by the lightning attack. Given the fact that the same goes for Apoc games, he can be really annoying since that usually is a LOT of lightning rolls.

In my opinion there are better options.

The higher the points level of the game, the better he gets (absolute hate engine in Apoc games).

But yes, might be a good idea to leave the long range guns at home, if you take him.

My primary list is built around him and I absolutely love what he brings to the table. If you want to play with the other Necron CC options outside of Wraiths, you can do a lot worse for HQ choices then Imo.

Imotekh is a decent HQ, but he lacks the aggressive potential of D-Lords.

He works best in a slower necron build with tomb spiders and scarabs.
