I was looking to homebrew some Necron Pariah rules and wanted to ask the experts for some ideas.
I've debated between melee specialist, a debuff/buff unit, etc. Even considered cutting out certain units should you just to take one; ie. "The Necron Pariah is the product of "x" Dynasty. Their aggressive empire is constantly on the move, advancing quickly across enemy territories and so lacks the Cryptek constructs that are typically found on Necron Tombworlds such as Wraiths, etc."

The Warscythe route gets a bit redundant with Lychguard.. mobile heavy-hitters are done by Praetorians.. and having the Pariah show up solely for leadership debuffs and screwing with the Psychic Phase seems pointless.
Any ideas?

Edit:
Or a stat-bonus or some decent special rules in exchange for foregoing RP.
"This construct is too complex and uniquely complicated for damage to be repaired even by the hyperadvanced Necrodermis. Should the Necron Pariah fall in battle, the Dynasty must reclaim and repair their prize at a later date."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709526.page GMT Necron Pariah Brainstorming
So, maybe a custom Warscythe that has the Instant Death special rule against psykers. Also, all enemy psykers within 12" have -2 LD, or maybe psykers within 12" cannot generate warp charges.

Special rules: Reanimation protocols, Fearless, Fear, Adamantium Will

Dunno, Again, not much need for them, but it's fun to brainstorm I guess.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709557.page GMT Necron Pariah Brainstorming

I know there isn't a need - other than for fun!

Necrons are living metal but there is also the matter of whatever human (or part of them) which makes them a Pariah. A machine is easy to fix. A cyborg? Not so much. Either way, I was just opting to remove or reduce RP since it seems to ruffle quite a few jimmies and might allow me to give him some good states or rules without people throwing a tantrum.

I was thinking Culexus-rules light for hitting them, since obviously a small foot-slogging unit is going to be destroyed pretty rapidly, RP or not.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709572.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709572.page GMT Necron Pariah Brainstorming

Then make their base RP a 6+. Easy enough. And they're only T4, not T5 like Lychguard.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709580.page GMT Re:Necron Pariah Brainstorming Worse save, toughness, and unit size than Lychguard with pretty much equivalent weapons.

Well, they're not made fully of living metal, so not overall as tough a standard lychguard. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709660.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/642107/7709660.page GMT
