Picture this:
Orikan the Diviner + 10 sword and board Lychguard + Nightscythe
Fun begins turn 2-4 onward.
Nightscythe arrives, moves upto 36", unit disembarks exactly where it needs to be.
Orikan's a cryptek so they have 4+ WBB
Chronometron is not needed as the unit has dispersion shields anyway.
120 points for a guy carrying an AP2 stick and Eternal Warrior is pretty decent.
As a bonus the entire unit re-rolls saving throws of 1 - this affects both armor and inv., and - correct me if I am wrong, but if WBB is a saving throw then it is affected as well.
In any case, the unit is pretty survivable and can draw lots of fire.
The longer it remains on the board the deadlier it becomes because the chances of Orikan Empowered increase.
By the time I'm at the enemy's DZ chances are good my unit just ferried over an MC type of creature with AP2 cc attacks that re-roll failed hits.
