==Wargear== [[File:Lychguard by jasonjuta.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Suprising amount of artwork for these guys.]] In the fluff, Lychguard wield a wide array of weapons though most are centered around melee combat. '''[[Power weapon#Hyperphase Sword|Hyperphase Sword]]'''- The Necron equivalent of a power sword, these weapons phase in and out of reality and possess cutting power that surpasses most other power weapons of its class. Rather than cutting ''through'' armor like most power weapons, these weapons just teleport ''past'' armor. Still can't phase through storm shields/iron halos/invulnerable saves, or, [[Games Workshop|for some reason]], terminator-equivalent armor. It can be that these blades are too narrow to pass through 30cm thick termie armour. Granted, it looks nothing like a sword (although if you look at it in a way, its an alien and futuristic take on the Egyptian Khopesh), but it still hits like a bus running the speed limit. '''[[C'tan Phase Weapons#Warscythe|Warscythe]]'''- These terrifying and (in the eyes of other races) huge and unwieldy weapons are the trademark weapons of the Lychguard. The Warscythe possesses a blade that can slice through all known forms of armour and force fields as if they weren't even there. This, combined with their heavy weight, means that they can easily cut through tank armour as well. and with the good old +2S you wont regret it. In the crunch, this manifests as an absolute rod of cheesiness with +2S (you'll just go Novokh, then pop 3 CP for Eternal Protectors (cuz there's guaranteed to be an Overlord nearby) Blood Rites, and Disruption Fields, so now you have a unit of Lychguard that each get 5 swings, at Strength 9 AP-4 D2. [[Anal circumference|Say your prayers to your god, for you meet him today.]] Back in the 5th you paid for a Lord with a cheap war scythe, now with the 7th price drop and increase on the War scythe, you now pay for a Warscythe and its holder. Wont complain. '''[[Shield#Dispersion Shield|Dispersion Shield]]'''- Often used in conjunction with the Hyperphase Sword, Dispersion Shields protect the wielder from all but the most destructive weapons (I.E orbital defense lasers) and make the Lychguard utterly immune to almost all small-arms fire and many heavy vehicular weapons. Additionally, beams, rays and bullets are not absorbed and dispersed by the shield's power field like with Imperium storm shield or Tau shield generator, but rather bounce off it and Lychguard are skilled enough to aim this bounced shot back to the asshole who fired it (sadly this bounce-back has been removed). The downside is that the wielder trades sheer offensive might and speed in favor of defense and durability. Still give your Lychguard the power sword/ shield combo and send it against any CC unit. As long as they are in a Reclamation legion. Is handy to keep all those ap 3 away from your overlord/cryptek that cover behind these guys. And with the 7th price drop they are totally worth it.
