The Igor to the Cryptek's Dr. Frankenstein.
Cryptothralls are actually formidable adversaries – especially when galvanised into action by the presence of their Cryptek masters, serving as their sword and shield.
As such, these long-limbed Necrons serve as formidable bodyguards. Always taken in pairs, individually they are a S5 T5 2W unit with 3 attacks in melee (performed with an AP-1 modifier) and a fairly nasty 2 shots of S5 AP-2 D1 at range. Their additional rules make them even better at following along their masters : when close to a Cryptek they make it untargettable while conversely setting their WS and BS to 3+ (this is NOT a +1 to hit, meaning it can be buffed further to a 2+).
Considering they have Living Metal AND Reanimation Protocols on top, they are probably one of the best bodyguard units in the game, especially when near a Technomancer. Suddenly instead of shooting a frail T4 robot nerd, the enemy will first have to chew through these two lads, either plinking them with inefficient low strength shots or wasting their valuable anti-elite fire on two silly looking scrap heaps. And they don't even take up a slot in the army - there is literally no reason not to take them if you can fit their point cost.
