Editing Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Necrons(8E) (section)

===The Grand Illusion===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">Take a Cryptek with the Veil of Darkness and, if you're planning on also taking Orikan the Diviner, a Canoptek Cloak, and a C'tan Shard of the Deceiver with Cosmic Fire and Seismic Assault, Transdimensional Thunderbolt, or Antimatter Meteor, depending on the shape of the enemy army, Nemesor Zahndrekh, Varguard Obyron, a nasty assault squad in the {{W40kKeyword|SAUTEKH}} Dynasty (e.g. Lychguard/Flayed Ones), a Monolith, 2 more murder units (max Warriors are best for synergy with Ghost Arks, or you can reach for anything else you like, including more assault units) set up on their tomb world, 0-2 Ghost Arks (if you take less than 2 Ghost Arks, a [[Rape|Tesseract Vault]] is fucking funny), optionally Orikan the Diviner (who will ride into battle on one of the Arks, or he can take up a Monolith slot, if you have a particular hard-on for guaranteeing he shows up on time), and optionally 10-man Warrior units to ride in any unoccupied Arks you brought. <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> 
Before the first turn, use the Shard's '''Grand Illusion''' to move itself and the Monolith up the field. If you get a 2 or 3 on the 1d3 (and spending CPs on re-rolls here is a reasonable idea), bring the Arks/Vault along - otherwise, they'll have to catch up the hard way. At the start of the turn, use Zahndrekh's '''Transient Madness''' and '''My Will Be Done''' on the assault unit. During movement, get your Monolith snuggled up to the enemy, and make sure any embarked Ghost Ark party-goers disembark. At the end of movement, all of the following happen:
#Your Deceiver and the Vault, if you took one, get to use their C'Tan Powers.
#The Cryptek pops his veil, and shows up next to the ongoing party, bringing Zahndrekh with him.
#Obyron teleports to Zahndrekh, bringing the assault unit with him. Obyron and the assault unit should easily be able to charge the enemy.
#The Monolith attempts to summon 1 tomb world unit, and you interrupt it with Enhanced Invasion Beam, summoning both. Both should easily be within charging range of the enemy, or you could have brought guns.

This lets you deliver Obyron and 3 units into charge/shooty murder range of anything you dislike, along with a Deceiver, Monolith, Zahndrekh, and Cryptek as support, and up to 2-4 additional units.

With the beta rules, GW has nerfed this a lot. Since the monolith can't deploy any of its offworld units outside your deployment area the first turn, it means that the earliest that it can deploy is your second turn. This includes the Emergency Invasion Beam if your opponent decides that the massive pile of potential reinforcements just has to die, since it's still turn 1.

With the beta rules in mind, this is a possible work around.

#Your Deceiver and the Vault, if you took one, get to use their C'Tan Powers.
#The Cryptek pops his veil, and shows up next to the ongoing party, bringing Zahndrekh with him.
#Obyron teleports to Zahndrekh, bringing the assault unit with him. Obyron and the assault unit should easily be able to charge the enemy.
#The Monolith teleports 1 unit with the Dimensional Corridor Stratagem, this unit will obviously have had to start on the battlefield but just keep it in the back. This should get around the beta rules, as the Monolith's unit started on the table.
