I am planning on running a unit of 3 Sentry pylons, but since they are very fragile for a 480 points unit (9W T7 3+), I was wondering how you guys protect it (or how you would if you were to play the unit). I'll play it in an allied detachment with a Renegades army under ITC rules.

Is a |Cryptek with solar staff and/or phylactery + other independent characters for 4++ save + Orikan| too much?

Destroyer Lord w/ the Veil and Anrakyr is all you really need. A Cryptek with an Orb and Solar Staff is cool too but not necessary.

Destroyer Lord w/ the Veil and Anrakyr is all you really need.

Anrakyr for Relentless? And the Destroyer Lord for T6?
I've seen many people talking about the veil, but is it necessary (since the Pylon would be able to move and fire)?

**Slayer-Fan123**

Destroyer Lord is there for Preferred Enemy, as rerolling to wound is sweet, and you're correct on Anrakyr.

However, the Veil becomes necessary when you have no targets within reach. Sometimes people add Obyron just for a second Veil, if you will.

But will the unit survive? It still feels fragile.

Whats fragile about T7 and 3+?
