Hi Peter!
I was thought about this, when reading the Slaan rules. Perhaps limit
the normal jump of Necrons to 20cm. Any further jumps would have to use
the Swallowed/Scattered table.
Your idea about the Scarabs is good. Integrate them into the Necron
units. Either keep the stats and cost the same, or boost the Necron
ability to Nulify at range as the Scarab does, AND boost the price up.
I would like to hear what Hellreich and Rune would say about this,
however.
