Most Lychguard are equipped with the heavy but nigh-unstoppable [[warscythe]], while a smaller number carry [[Hyperphase Sword]]s and [[Dispersion Shield]]s.<sup>1</sup> This is usually due to the influence of the specific patron each Lychguard is assigned to, for it is from his armoury that the weapons are chosen. Trading away the warscythe will slow a squad down as it cuts its away through its enemies, losing some measure of offensive might, but gains tremendous hardiness, as the shield's interlocking force barriers protect them from anything up to and beyond the deadliness of a siege shell or the blast of a defense laser.<sup>2</sup>
Regardless of their armament or duty, a Lychguard always takes favor to single, dismembering strikes and unlike lesser Necrons, takes pride in their bloody work. They are perfectionists, seeking to slay their enemies with the most efficient attacks, standing still as the battle rages around them, waiting for the exact, right moment to strike. Anything less than an immaculate strike is a cause for shame to the Lychguards, some of whom will go so far as to seek out their sovereign and seek ask for their forgiveness for it.<sup>2</sup>
