Nemesor can change his warlord trait to anything after the first game turn. Under strategic traits there is a WT called master of ambush. It says that the warlord and 3 non vehicle models have the infiltrate special rule.

Obviously they can't deploy using infiltrate because they can only get the infiltrate special rule from the WT from the second game onwards. However infiltrate also gives outflank so if you keep any models in reserve when they come in on turn 2 with they could use outflank from this new warlord trait. This would make necrons even more powerful with C'tan's, powerful lychguard units, 20 man warriors blobs, tombblades, and destroyer units coming in from flanks and potentially right next to the opponent much faster than what would usually be possible. There is no other way that these units can outflank.

The rules for outflank are like everyone knows, 1-2 left side, 3-4 right 5-6 choose which side. However there is a sentence at the beginning which states

"during deployment players can declare that any unit that contains at least one model with this special rule is attempting to Outflank the enemy"

The thing is none of these models have outflank until the SECOND game turn, not BEFORE DEPLOYMENT so does it make their outflank void? Or should they be allowed to outflank? I don't think GW have FAQ'd this anywhere

Thanks

If they dont have the ability to Outflank, they cannot declare they are using it before Deployment.

Technically, they wouldn't be able to use it before Deployment.

It can only be declared during Deployment. Outflank cannot be declared as part of Ongoing Reserves, either.

So, if they can go in to regular Reserves after receiving Infiltrate, then they could Outflank. Good luck with that, as it is a rare occurrence since Ongoing Reserves was introduced.
