deliberate and the card discussed/removed, or was it accidental and I should
put it back in for 5.0? Thanks.

>Necron Scarab Protector: Necron Warriors are usually accompanied onto the
battlefield by small bug-like machines called Scarabs. For every Necron
Warrior squad you may purchase one Scarabs card. Scarabs may be represented
on the battlefield by a stand of small models or by a counter, called a
marker. A Scarab marker:
>¨ Can be placed (or “fired”) on any enemy squad (that is a support card or
one squad within a company card) within 50 cm in the Advance Fire phase just
like a single-use ranged weapon, without premeasuring. If placed out of the
50cm range to the target, it is removed automatically.
>¨ Has the Nullifying Field, but affects only the attacked unit and reduces
the close assault factor value of it by 1D3 instead of by 2 (this is rolled
once and effects all models in the squad an equal amount).
>¨ To be removed from a unit, must be struck three times by ranged weapon
fire or destroyed in Close Combat.

>A Scarab marker does not have a Saving Throw. Once it is placed on a unit
it is considered to be within Close Combat range and can be engaged if
desired in the normal Close Combat Phase. The marker is considered to have a
CAF of +3 and can win a Close Combat and thus destroy a unit if engaged.
Remember that the marker cannot engage a unit, thus if a unit effected by
Scarabs does not want to engage it, it does not have to. If the entire
effected squad is destroyed remove the marker.

>Note that this card is not considered a support card. Instead a marker
should be placed beside any Necron unit with a Scarab card. The Scarab Card
does have a point cost value however and must be applied to the army’s total
at the beginning of the game. Victory Points are awarded when the Scarab
marker has been destroyed. If a Scarab marker is removed from the table for
any other reason no Victory Points are awarded.

Hi!

If memory serves, it was deleted intentionally.
