I deliberately left out all of the FW Necrons from my Sautekh Dynasty Necron Army List as the FW Necrons are more Tomb World like and not a conquering army.
Yeah I left out the sentry pylons, tomb sentinels and stalkers for that reason. The archantrites I think fit a more offensive list as they're described as being the vanguard. The bomber is also included because I think they fit a more offensive army.
I'm actually kind of undecided on the sentry pylons. They do seem like a more defesive unit, but at the same time if the necrons have the technology, while on the offensive, to teleport in a giagantic pylon, wouldn't teleporting in the smaller sentry pylons be rather easy for them.
The big pylons are a problem that have been discussed before, being so to easy to break (like shown again in my above report). I have therefore added the option of an extra pylon.
If we were to add the sentry pylons to the list, then I don't want them in a seperate formation of their own (that seems more like a defensive thing). There is an apocalypse formation in Imperial Armour Apocaplysoe called a Necrons Pylon network. I've been thinking that maybe we could add the sentry p's as an optional upgrade to the Pylon along those lines. for ex "add two sentry pylons for X points", this would mean that I'd take away the extra big Pylon option. Thoughts about this?
Of course Ulrik has a veto on this subject, if he wants them only in the tomb world list.

Maybe based on the new IA book? Wasn't that all about some Newcrons kicking some imperial butt?
Yeah I thought about them, but after reading through the book I don't think they fit the bill. I want a more general dynasty. The maynarkh are described as especially affected by the flayer virus. Their overlords have a special rule called "mark of the flayer". I think they would be better suited for a flayed-one themed list. Thanks for the suggestion though
