In the new Codex, Anrakyr is required to take the Implacable Conqueror warlord trait, which is: While a friendly <Dynasty> CORE unit is within 6", you can re-roll charge rolls made for that unit.

The only trouble is...Anrakyr doesn't have a dynasty. He's a Dynastic Agent, the new Necron equivalent of an agent of the imperium (i.e. no subfaction keyword, doesn't break detachments, but also doesn't gain benefit of them either).

Does this mean you delete the <Dynasty> from the warlord trait and it just becomes all CORE, or does it mean it only affects <Null> CORE units, and since those don't exist, it does nothing at all?

I think the intent has to be that it works on everything - both because the rest of his datasheet works on all CORE, and because otherwise it would literally be a useless warlord trait - but do we think the RAW actually works on this one?

Edit: It has come to my attention that DYNASTIC AGENT models replace <DYNASTY> on any Warlord Traits they have with NECRONS. So if Anrakyr has the Implacable Conqueror trait he affects NECRONS CORE units.

Oh hey, it does say that. Go go reading comprehension!

Nice to see GW actually had thought of this.

Anrakyr: 'I have no Dynasty'

Pyrrhians: 'Are we a joke to you?'
