Obeisance Phalanx: The 11th-Edition Necrons Lychguard Detachment

Each Command phase you pick one enemy unit; until your next Command phase, your Noble, Lychguard and Triarch units add 1 to the Wound roll against it. The June 2026 pack rewrote the rule to spell out the Noble, Lychguard and Triarch keywords, so your Nobles and characters clearly benefit, not just the bodyguard units. Point it at the enemy's toughest unit each turn and pile your buffed melee into it.

• Suffer No Rival (Fight) — a Lychguard or Triarch unit's melee weapons gain Precision, letting you snipe an attached enemy character out of the unit you tagged.
• Sentinels of Eternity (Fight) — slain Lychguard/Triarch models get a 4+ fight-on-death save, so your brick keeps swinging even as it dies.
• Territorial Obsession (Command) — boosts Objective Control; the June 2026 pack narrowed its target to one Lychguard or Triarch unit.
• Enslaved Artifice — a unit scores Critical Hits on 5+ this phase.
• Nanoassembly Protocols (defensive) — -1 Damage to attacks against a Necrons Vehicle.

• Eternal Conqueror — re-roll Hit rolls against enemies on or near objectives.
• Unflinching Will — the bearer's melee weapons gain Precision and Anti-Infantry 5+.
• Warrior Noble — attacks against the bearer's unit in melee are -1 to Hit.
• Honourable Combatant — destroying an enemy Character costs the opponent 1 CP.

(Enhancement eligibility and points are community-sourced; confirm in the app.)

• Lychguard — the core: hard-hitting, durable melee that benefits from Worthy Foes (+1 Wound), Precision, and the fight-on-death save.
• Triarch Praetorians — fast Noble-tier elites and the specific beneficiaries of Sentinels of Eternity.
• Overlord / Nobles — carry the enhancements, lead the Lychguard, and now count as valid Worthy Foes attackers.
• Triarch Stalker — a support piece (it gained the FRAME keyword) that boosts the army's shooting.
• Lokhust Destroyers — ranged anti-tank the melee core otherwise lacks.

Take it when you want an elite melee 'Noble bodyguard' army — a durable Lychguard-and-Triarch core that reliably grinds through tough targets — rather than a Warriors or Wraith tarpit. It's strongest when you can reliably tag the enemy's key durable unit each turn and pile your buffed melee into it. At 2 DP it leaves 1 DP for a support.

Sample gameplan: deploy a Lychguard brick led by an Overlord (with an offensive enhancement) plus Triarch Praetorians. Each Command phase, tag the enemy's most important durable unit with Worthy Foes for +1 to Wound army-wide. Advance behind Reanimation Protocols, hold objectives with Territorial Obsession, then charge — stacking Suffer No Rival (Precision) to snipe characters and Sentinels of Eternity to keep swinging. Screen with Warriors and bring Lokhusts for anti-tank.
