Hey guys,

I am allying in some necrons and at present my force has;
2x10 warriors
2x ghost arks
An overlord/cryptek (he's a converted model which I could run as either I suppose)

So in the rules for the ghost arks; its a 10 model transport, for warriors and infantry IC's. But the issue is warrior squads are min 10 man anyway? So there is no way I can get my lord into a ghostark with a squad, unless I create a royal court/ wait for a warrior to die.

What im wondering is where do you guys put your lords? I have some immortals and some deathmarks that I am converting up along with a nightsythe. So I would assume the HQ preferably should go to one of these units? Lord with veil and gaunlet of conflag? in with the deathmarks for a DSing unit that can insta-remove a threat? or as close as insta-remove. I assume if I put a lord in with veil he can't make use of the enemy turn DS and shoot? (Ethereal interception). Or do I stick him with some immortals in the nightsythe and give him perhaps the solar staff so I can drop down and get out some shooting with pseudo-invis?

I am simply a little lost as to what my lord brings, he seems reasonably choppy if geared correctly, with plenty of buffs to RP and such, but I cant stick him with my warriors and in smaller units such as deathmarks or immortals they dont really want to be in combat right?

Any direction would be greatly appreciated, Solar

Some places to look:
Deepstriking with Flayed Ones [D.Lord or Shroud of Darkness]
Running with Wraiths or Praetorians [D.Lord using his Assault-phase move to keep up]
Running with Lychguard [O.Lord with PS or Cryptek with Chronometron to protect them]
Running with Lychguard with Sword and Shield [Bringing Warscythe for damage]
In a mob of 20 Warriors
In a Nightscythe with Immortals

D.Lord with Deathmarks can be fun - he can deepstrike on his own, and while he can't Etherial Interception, he can bring that nice S7AP2 flamer.

Orikan is a pretty amazing fairly low points HQ right now.

Allows both a reroll of ones on saves and +1 to reanimation on his unit, then when his Mumm-Ra power activates he becomes an absolute beast in combat.

So a D.lord can DS? is that because he is jet pack infantry? I couldn't see anything in his stats page giving him DS. Hmm how would you rate the deathmarks ability to kill a unit using the etereal interception? Aka, is it worth sacrificing it to have the D.lord in the unit? I can just imagine if I DS the D.lord in solo he wouldn't make to my next turn in order to join a unit, or assault anything.

where would you stick him? immortals in a nightsythe? maybe adding in another IC to act as a tank/bring the solar staff?
basically I have a nightsythe that I could put anything in, so potentially lychguard?

No idea bout crons but i adore your Gron warriors!

yup jump infantry can deep strike
