	~~Well,~~ Zahndrekh did not take well to the biotransference process. In fact, it gave him Alzheimer's. As such, he [[Wat\|is completely unaware that he's an immortal robot zombie from outer space]], and thinks he's still a Necrontyr, from before the [[Eldar]] even existed. He's also nearsighted, making him see all of his enemies as Necrontyr rebelling against the Triarchs, which in turn makes him quite a bit less xenocidal than most of his species. Woe the day he finds a pair of glasses, and discovers the [[Ork\|green, smelly and burly necrons]] he keeps meeting around the galaxy are [[Just As Planned\|not what they seem]].

	This utter weirdness fills his fellow Necrons with [[Rage]] because they don't know how to have fun, but they "live" with him anyways. Why? Remember the whole "Creedcron" thing? Despite being so deluded he can't even see his enemies right, his tactical genius is on par with Creed and wasn't affected by his ~~dementia~~ at all. He's no slouch in combat, but his prowess as a commander is what he's feared for, turning losing battles victories and equal battles into roflstomps.

	As for the "Don Quixote IN SPESS" aspect, it's actually canon – in 8th edition (Carried forward in to ninth, yay!), his ''Transient Madness'' rule has an effect named "Solarmills? Charge!" - just with infinitely less [[Fail]], since his tactical acumen was untouched by his delusions. With a generous disregard for reality, swinging between pretense and belief that he's still in the past and a loyal servant who is aware of what's going on yet does nothing to stop him (compare Obyron with Sancho Panza), he's one hard-ass grandpa.

	Zahndrekh did not take well to the biotransference process. In fact, it gave him Alzheimer's. As such, he [[Wat\|is completely unaware that he's an immortal robot zombie from outer space]], and thinks he's still a Necrontyr, from before the [[Eldar]] even existed. He's also nearsighted, making him see all of his enemies as Necrontyr rebelling against the Triarchs, which in turn makes him quite a bit less xenocidal than most of his species. Woe the day he finds a pair of glasses, and discovers the [[Ork\|green, smelly and burly necrons]] he keeps meeting around the galaxy are [[Just As Planned\|not what they seem]].

	This utter weirdness fills his fellow Necrons with [[Rage]] because they don't know how to have fun, but they "live" with him anyways. Why? Remember the whole "Creedcron" thing? Despite being so deluded he can't even see his enemies right, his tactical genius is on par with Creed and wasn't affected by his delusions at all. He's no slouch in combat, but his prowess as a commander is what he's feared for, turning losing battles victories and equal battles into roflstomps.

	The other reason they have to tolerate him is that the fools who don't end up plastered on the floor of the nearest pyramid. He's still alive to be Space Don Quixote, they're stuck respawning or permanently dead because, necron or necrontyr, somebody is ALWAYS trying to kill you and he's prepared for that. His sepulcher is [[Imperial Fists\| fortified to the nines with traps]], he has three legions of [[Lychguard\|Lychguards]] to protect him when he (tries) to sleep and more than anything else he has OBYRON, basically making everything else redundant (but redundancy helps!).

	[[Wat\|He also literally has a hundred spare taste testers for whenever he tries to eat]]. Remember, he's a necron. But nobody complains, because then they'd also have to complain to Obyron. He also wants to complain, but unlike the others he can suck it up because he's used to it.		[[Wat\|He also literally has a hundred spare taste testers for whenever he tries to eat]].

	It's been revealed in the newest story containing him and Obyron that it's more Robo-Dementia and he is a bit eccentric. [https://old.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/dtv03r/zahndrekh_and_obyron_best_characters_ever/f7b30zb/ His awareness of the world around him comes and goes] and he's somewhat aware of his condition and tries to make the most of it (eg; taking advantage of his condition to fool his enemies into underestimating him, literally just having fun with the fact that he is ''hypothetically'' an immortal robot zombie from outer space), which is both [[Awesome\|awesome]] and tragic, making for a very compelling character. A small expansion to his character has also been made through the form of a small cameo in ''The Twice Dead King'' series, where he is shown as someone known for his quirky (read: trollish) character as far back as the time of the flesh.

	As for the "Don Quixote IN SPESS" aspect, it's actually canon – in 8th edition (Carried forward in to ninth, yay!), his ''Transient Madness'' rule has an effect named "Solarmills? Charge!" - just with infinitely less [[Fail]], since his tactical acumen was untouched by his delusions. With a generous disregard for reality, swinging between pretense and belief that he's still in the past and a loyal servant who is aware of what's going on yet does nothing to stop him (compare Obyron with Sancho Panza), he's one hard-ass grandpa.

	8th edition is all about auras. Commanders and leaders projecting bubbles around themselves to buff up their troops so they can actually get their points back. Zahndrekh shuts them all down. Well, ok, only one of them down at a time, and only within 12 inches. But this is still huge. For instance, rules as written, you can shut down [[Azrael]]'s Lion Helm, leaving the heavy plasma spam he was guarding open for some maximum [[rape]].		8th edition is all about auras.

	On top of that, he gives cool random buffs (taken from a D3 chart) to one Infantry unit within 6", and you roll the D3 before you choose the unit to buff, meaning the buff won't be absolutely wasted ''just'' because of a bad dice roll (it can still be absolutely wasted, just not because of one bad roll). His random effects are +1 Attack, +1 Ballistic Skill, or "I'm Don Quixote! Charge those Solar Mills!" (i.e. re-roll failed charges).

	Zahndrekh only comes with a Phase Shifter giving 4+ invulnerable Saves for extra survivability, or so it would seem. Alternatively, you can have Obyron perform a classic "GET DOWN, MR. PRESIDENT!" move to exchange a wound Zahndrekh would have taken for a mortal wound on Obyron on a 2+ roll if the two are within 3" (which sounds useless on its own since it sounds like Obyron would have to babysit Zahndrekh to get any use from it, but Obyron can also teleport himself and an Infantry unit within 6" of himself right to Zahndrekh in the movement phase). Certainly something to be used incredibly sparingly, especially since Obyron has a sizable point cost himself, but it could be useful to save Zahndrekh from what would have been a death blow.

	Overall, though, Zahndrekh is most certainly far more situational compared to his big boss Sautekh HQ counterpart, [[Imotekh the Stormlord\|Imotekh]]. The two only have a 15 point cost difference, and while the ability to shut down auras is powerful, Imotekh provides a lot more overall benefits to his troops, including a free command point if he's Warlord, being able to use My Will Be Done Twice, extra Living Metal regen, unique improved weapons (one being a direct upgrade to Zahndrekh's standard Staff of Light), and his badass Lightning Storm that has obscene damage potential (if it works, of course). But in the end, Zahndrekh's random buffs, synergy with Obyron, and aura shutdown can certainly provide a fun alternative playstyle.
