I'm getting back into 40k and this is going to be my list for casual pickup games at 1500 points.

The concept is straight forward:

- Deceiver for MW and to reposition Immortals/Scarabs before the game starts
- Zahndrekh rolls for his ability and prays for +1A on Lychguard. Otherwise +1 BS goes onto Immortals and Charge Rerolls onto Wraiths.
- MWBD on Lychguard.
- Cryptek with Veil teleports Zahndrekh close to a high-priority target and Vargard Obyron follows up with Lychguard for 1st turn charge
- Lychguard and Obyron charge and delete whatever is in their way in cc
- Immortals and Scarabs sit on objectives
- Wraiths move foreward and play distraction carnifex

In the enemy turn, Lychguard will be the prime target, but with DISPERSION FIELD AMPLIFICATION they go up to 3+ and deal MW on 6s, hopefully surviving until the next turn and forcing a few deaths from enemy fire.

Fairly confident if you remove the models and reset them up again, the lose the bonus.

So would just use the deceiver to teleport Zahndrekh, then have him run into a closer position for a 1" charge from the lychguard and obyron

the FAQ says it about stratagems I think, but pretty sure it means if it leaves the table for an ability it loses its buffs.

can't charge from a deceiver re-deploy

This would be important to know for sure. Is there any official clarification on this topic?

Rulebook update 1.3 :

Q: If you use a Stratagem to remove a model from the battlefield
and set it up again, does the model retain any persistent effects
(for example, a bonus to one of its characteristics as a result of
an ability)?
A: No.

This does not apply to relics, like the veil of darkness. A unit buffed by nemesor, then veiled by the cryptek retains the buff.

would argue the person asking the question used the strat as an example, but should not matter how it happens, the act is the exact same

also never said Zahndrekh to charge, he just needs to move as a becon for obyron and the lychguard

Thanks a bunch, I was a bit worried there
