Living Metal
At the start of your Command phase, each model in this unit regains 1 lost wound.
Dimensional Translocation
During deployment, you can set up this unit in a hyperspace dimension instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases, you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.
Command Protocols
If every unit from your army (excluding DYNASTIC AGENT, C'TAN SHARD and UNALIGNED units) is from the same dynasty, and you select a NECRONS CHARACTER model to be your WARLORD, this unit is eligible to benefit from this ability and the following rules apply.  

After both sides have deployed, but before you have determined who will have the first turn, you must assign a different one of the command protocols to each of the first five battle rounds, and note this down secretly on your army roster.

At the start of each battle round, if any NECRONS CHARACTER units from your army are on the battlefield, the command protocol that you assigned to that battle round becomes active for your army until the end of that battle round. Each command protocol is made up of two directives. When a command protocol becomes active for your army, reveal it to your opponent and select one of its directives.  Until the assigned command protocol stops being active, while a unit that is eligible to benefit from this ability is on the battlefield, that unit benefits from the selected directive.

In addition, if all units from your army are from the same dynasty (excluding DYNASTIC AGENT, C'TAN SHARD and UNALIGNED units), select one command protocol that has not been assigned to a battle round (there will typically only be one). That command protocol is active in every battle round in addition to the one assigned to that battle round – select which directive your units will benefit from at the start of each battle round. Note that if this additional command protocol is the one described in your dynasty’s code, this means both of its directives apply to all units with this ability in your army in every battle round, in addition to the protocol assigned to that battle round.

Abilities
Cleaving Counterblow

When this model is destroyed by a melee attack, do not remove this model from play; after the attacking model's unit has finished making its attacks, this model fights as if it were the Fight phase. This model is then removed from play.

Ever-Present Protector

If a Detachment includes NEMESOR ZAHNDREKH, then VARGARD OBYRON can be included in that Detachment without taking up a Battlefield Role slot.

Ghostwalk Mantle

At the start of your Movement phase, you can remove this model from the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of that phase, set this model back up on the battlefield, anywhere within 3" of a friendly NEMESOR ZAHNDREKH model.

The Lord's Will (Sautekh)

In your Command phase, you can select one friendly SAUTEKH CORE unit within 9" of this model. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.

The Vargard's Duty (Aura)

While a friendly NEMESOR ZAHNDREKH unit is within 3" of this model, enemy models cannot target that unit with ranged attacks.
