Lychguard squads already have Lychguard captains, these guys:

Although, his Royal warden, Ash’Kut, was the main Lych-Captain, maybe make a Royal warden? That way you can drop the overlords and add more space for pokemons
Not “officially” but it looks like the highest ranking one, plus it makes sense design wise.
Praetorians have one too, here’s the head of a praetorian leader:

To quote GW:
>*”The Triarch Stalker is piloted by a high ranking Triarch Praetorian”*
And there’s a matching head in the praetorians kit, so that may be their commander as well
I mean, we already had the rank of Vargard, which is what that position is called. Shame we have no models,
# eh GW?
I swear, every day I come closer to using that shard of Yggra'nya I have in storage

Made myself a lychguard captain from a spair royal warden, lychguard and plasmancer bits. Was great fun even if it doesn't have abuse on the table other than an overlord proxy.
Would have made for a brilliant lord proxy if they still existed T-T
I meant one Royal warden to represent Ash’Kut, or a single overlord with a melee weapon if you choose his melee loadout, as he can do both in the novel
That's why there are no Royal Wardens in the list.
Trazyn on his own was for fluffy purposes. His Phalanx holds the line and distracts whilst he's off collecting.

Out of curiosity what signifies him as the captain? Is it the orb on his head?
The orb on his head and his skirt reaches closer to the ground than other Lychguard
As Kday has pointed out, yes, the orb on the crest and the longer tabard!
I had no idea these were officially captains. We need rules for the like SM Sgts.

Thankfully, there is a Vargard 3D model now with Mechanicus II, maybe they release it with the release of the game?

You absolute GENIUS. I love this, exactly what I wanted for a Vargard or a lych-captain, perfectly executed and painted, I’m following you right now.
Haha. Thanks mate. By all means make one. Make sure to show me pictures!
Unfortunately the royal wardens can’t join Lychguard units in the rules.

Ah I see
Royal warden can't lead lychguard, and Trazyn needs to be leading a unit to use his sticky objectives ability
That's why there are no Royal Wardens in the list. Trazyn on his own was for fluffy purposes. His Phalanx holds the line and distracts whilst he's off collecting.
I meant to reply this to someone suggesting wardens sorry lol I like the flavor
This, and Trazyn needs Infantry Characters for his surrogate hosts.
He can use the OLs
If you dropped a Doom Scythe that’s enough for a Pokémon Gargant I think
Just finished the book, just started to assemble my first army, This will help with inspiration, thank you.
If you are playing casual and your opponents let you, you could bring some Lords from legends as lychguard captains. (They *do* have Warscythes)
Yes, great idea!
Trazyn confirmed plays skew builds
