It's interesting, to be sure, but what makes it fluffy?

The Necrons are far more technologically advanced than the other 40k races. Their tech is from the time of war in heaven when their opponents were far more advanced than 40k races. Because of this, their vehicles are not tough and covered in thick armour like 40k races (because that wouldn't help against the super powered weaponry of the war in heaven), instead they have energy shields designed to shrug of ridiculously powerful shots.

The current QS rules are great at representing this because really powerful weapons that do 6 damage are useless against it. The way to beat it is with lower tech, low damage weapons that the Necrons did not used to have to worry about. It allows the Necrons to have rules that represent their superior technology, without breaking the game.

I suspect the old QS rule prevented GW from increasing the damage of weapons in the game without having it become broken. We will probably be seeing more weapons doing damage along the lines of the Death ray, Anihilator Beam, and close range melta in the new codexes.

2-5 feels really weird, I feel like it's a typo.

And thinking about it, a technomancer with cloak might be good to run forward if you're fielding skorpekh to help keep them fighting, it can mitigate the one killed from the plasmacyte if nothing else

My question now is whether or not the Skorpekh Lord will lose the -1 to hit on his blade

It's 2-5 Veterans and they have 1 mandatory Veteran Sergeant, so in reality the modelcount of the unit is 3-6.

This actually makes a surprising amount of sense if you figure Orks into the equation. Weren't Orks originally created by the Old Ones to combat the C'tan and Necrons? Can't get much lower tech then a greenskin, riding a boar & attacking with a stone spear...

You might want to have a look at the ork tech. Much of it is more advanced than what the imperium has and on the same level als eldar and necron tech.
Their primary function was to provide masses of rank&file troops to overwhelm the numerically limited necrons while the eldar were created to be superior elite warriors.

ynasty warlord traits

Mephrit : +1 attack and +1 strength (warlord)

Nephrekh : -1 to hit the warlord

Nihilakh : At the start of the combat phase, if this warlord is in range of an enemy unit, he can fight first in this phase

Novokh : Each time the warlord makes a melee attack, an unmodified wound roll of 6 deal one additional mortal wound.

Sautekh : As long as this warlord is one the battlefield, when you use one CP to use a stratagem, roll a D6. On 5+, you get the CP refunded.

Szarekhan : When you assign command protocols, you can chose 4 of them instead of 5, and one of those 4 can be assigned to two rounds instead of one.
