Imhotek - for his Bloodswarm ability

Zahndrekh - for his plethora of abilities to grant counter-attack, stealth, and furious charge (anyone of these combined with the flayed ones imo would be just nasty). Also his rez orb will make your flayed ones more durable

Cryptek with a veil - so you don't have to reserve your flayed ones and can pop them down any turn you want inside your enemies lines without scattering assuming you are utilizing Imhotek's bloodswarm benefit. This also allows Zahndrekh to join the unit and deepstrike with them.

20 flayed ones

So for roughly 730pts you get a pretty durable unit that has adaptive combat tactics and can deepstrike without teleporting. Like I said: expensive, but compared to the other close combat alternatives in the codex I think it's a pretty solid 22 man unit. And with Imhotek's night fighting rules I think this would work great for a foot list as you move the rest of your necron hordes up and then use the veil when they are close enough to get involved if need be.

So what do you think? Also I'm curious to see what other people's ideas are for using flayed ones are as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3887448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3887448.page GMT Flayed One Tactics Id love to find a way to use flayed ones effectively but i dont see it happening in 5th ed... Maybe if you can assault after deepstriking, but until then they are pretty big fodder.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3887955.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3887955.page GMT Flayed One Tactics http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888054.page GMT Flayed One Tactics http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888120.page GMT Flayed One Tactics

Ah damn, you're right. Guess I didn't read that part carefully enough. Well, the only other option I would think to get a veil in there is stick Obyron in and that is just getting way too expensive. Still it might be fun to play around with once. But yeah, the bloodswarm ability is random, I was just thinking that it would be a safe launching point to deepstrike since you don't scatter to get within the enemies ranks and let the havok ensue. But yes hopefully they will be better in 6E.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888155.page GMT Re:Flayed One Tactics
Opponents deploying first have to consider outflanking Flayed Ones, Deepstriking Flayed Ones, and Infiltrating Flayed Ones. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428481/3888215.page GMT
