Well, the 40K Necron gun is basicly a bolter with a better save mod, give
it 30 cm range and 1 FP.

The Assault ability would be better compared to a Tactical Marine but the
Necron has a lower I, debateable between an Assault or 2 or 3.

Both the Necrons and Scarabs cause penalties if they are within 6 inches,
translated a disrupt at 10 cm for each would probably be closest.

What about the Scarab ability to "latch on" and reduce the armor of a
vehicle?? I don't recall hearing if the effect ws permenant or only until
you dislodged the scarab or if you could dislodge the scarab. The only
answer I can think of right now is a new special ability, Reduce Armor -
armor of the target vehicle is reduced by one. If the Scarab moves into
H2H then remove the stand a make a note that the armor of the target is
reduced. There is probably a better solution but I can't seem to think of
anything else right now...
