I just realized that as written ONLY a necron destroyer lord can take a phylactery.
Please tel me this was a goof that's been corrected somewhere...

Nope. It's because only the Destroyer Lord comes with a phylactery part. It makes absolutely no sense.

Wait, do they?
Which part of the Destroyer Lord is the Phylactery?

Huh. I never once realised that that was supposed to be a Phylactery.
For some reason I always thought that a Phylactery would be in the middle of their chest (where the Necron symbol is).

You'd think so, but the destroyer lord has it on his wrist.

I wish they wouldn't let someone who clearly hates necron players write the codex for necrons...

At any rate, I really hate this thing the 8th edition codices have whereby the only customisation for most characters is via Artefacts.
(Or, in the case of Dark Eldar, the only customisation *and* the only way to get a HQ that isn't utterly abysmal.)
Surely there's got to be some non-weapon equipment that's not the only one of its kind in the universe?
It's doubly weird because the WYSIWIG rules appear to have been removed from the rulebook - so it's not even as if you're required to represent all equipment on a model anymore.

What's really weird is that this no-equipment-in-box-no-rules thing is inconsistent.
Ok, so you can't give an Overlord a phylactery because it doesn't come in the set, but you can give him a void blade or a hyperphase sword...which doesn't come in the set. Its a stupid policy that doesn't make sense, and the list building in 8th ed can't hold a candle to earlier editions.

I agree entirely.
I also despise it when only special characters are allowed interesting rules and wargear.
