The Lychguard are the wardens of the nobility, said to be utterly dedicated to their charges. While most Necrons wear a suit of living metal, the Lychguard wear huge suits of ancient armour.

The Lychguard models are highly detailed, and display the rich iconography and dynastic glyphs in all their glory, be that on their ancient armour or on the heavy coffin-shaped shields. As well as the classic skeletal metal frame, they wear segmented metallic loincloths and carry bulky weaponry including heavy-bladed warscythes, though some carry hyperphase swords and dispersion shields.
