Well try to do that with Say CC oriented Aspects. They would be essentially wasted points on ground deployment. Regular Orks would be quite useless as well (Ork Warband + 2 units extra). Terminators can teleport and Devastators might be useful on Garrison ... perhaps.

Ork Warband can be garrisoned... and can then double to shoot on the annoying Pylon!

CC oriented Aspects can be deployed on board, to be picked up for re-deployment once the Pylons are dealt with.

Seems simple...  :laugh:

Pylons Gun / 120cm / MW4+ / TK(d3)
     or      / 60cm / AA4+ / TK(1)
Damage Capacity: 3DC, crit range d6cm

Not a terrible idea, at DC3 single pylons are slightly less of a liability.

40k wise they are DC2, but then not everything matches up

Coming in on foot instead of mounted in air is not such a big disadvantage agasint Necron as it might be against other, more mobile armies.

Necrons aren't fast.  Generally, they are going to have to drop down close to you in order to do any damage.  You don't have to worry about getting to them, they will come to you.

Pylons are good as a threat, nothing more.  They aren't anywhere near as effective as their stats make them look.  Never have been.

The greatest use you will ever get out of a Pylon is in letting it's threat persuade your opponent not to deploy their air assests.  The second would be to draw fire and attention to neutralize their mostly empty threat.

I would have thought they were the fastest army in the game.

no, not fast.

Their strength is in their ability to deploy after their opponent does.  

More so than when fighting any other army, proper initial deployment when facing Necrons is crucial.  People who set up willy-nilly will pretty much always get cut to shreds. :)
