Their anti-grav warmachines are based around the art of invasion and terror, wielding horrifying energy weaponry and other esoteric abilities such as Worm Holes. This includes even 'dead' Necrons (those who have not yet repaired themselves) and those already engaged in close combat. They strike out of nowhere without warning, wreak havoc and leave before any major reinforcements can arrive. Over many millennia, the ultimate outcome of this process of gradual desensitisation was that the Necrons became the soulless warrior-slaves of the C'tan, harvesting intelligent life from across the galaxy to feed these souls to their insatiable masters. Battle raged in the darkness. Thus, they have been granted the Imperial sobriquet of "Wraiths." The larger the Royal Court, the greater their seniority and the more troops under their command. They were little more than monstrous energy parasites that suckled upon the solar energies of the stars that had brought them into existence, shortening the lives of otherwise main-sequence stars by millions of standard years. Though the entire Necron race was now his to command, he could not hope to oppose the C'tan at the height of their power, and even if he did and met with success, the Necrons would then have to finish the War in Heaven against the Old Ones and their increasingly potent allied species alone. On the verge of total defeat, the unity of the Necrontyr began to fracture once more in the Second Wars of Secession. The Necrons focused the unimaginable energies of the living universe into weapons too mighty for even the C'tan to endure. Zarathusa the Ineffable, Overlord of Perdita, turns his legions once more to the stars, setting off on a crusade of reclamation. Lower still are the Necron Lords, each charged with the keeping of a dynasty's single core or fringeworld. The Tomb World of Thanatos is a hollow planet, and hidden at its heart is one of the galaxy's greatest treasures -- the Celestial Orrery. Yet most of the Necrons cared not at all for their loss; all that mattered to them was that they would live forever without disease or death as their Star Gods had promised. The Necrons' form of warfare could best be described as a continuous process of causality, as each battle, campaign and "Harvest" produces preordained responses from the controlling program of the Tomb World. Reflecting their status and, perhaps, their individual preferences, Lychguards are often adorned with decorative headgear and segmented metal tabards. Curiously, Destroyer Lords forgo the decorative finery commonly worn by Necron royalty. This rivalry is not ended in the current era, merely dormant. The Gauss Flayer which they wield is no less terrifying, as it strips its targets to atoms, dissolving skin and muscle in a heartbeat and then disintegrating bone until nothing remains. They are now only echoes of their former selves, splinters of energy that survived their Necron servants' ancient betrayal and were enslaved in turn. In later times, these entities would become known as the "C'tan," but early in their existence they were nothing like the malevolent beings they would eventually become. So it was that the Silent King ordered the remaining Necron cities to be transformed into great tomb complexes threaded with stasis-crypts. As time passed, many Tomb Worlds fell prey to malfunction or ill-fortune. They had discovered entities of pure energy that had spawned during the birth of the stars eons before. The vassals of the Hive Mind are not immune to the unsettling soulessness of the Necrons, and the Null Field Matrix only serves to exacerbate this effect on the normally inviolate Hive Mind. This is supported by the Necrons' terrifying ability to appear anywhere using their phase technology. The Necron nobles of the Tomb World of Zantragora have but one overriding goal. A Tomb Stalker attacking a Space Marine Rhino transport carrier. The Old Ones had long ago conquered the secrets of immortality, yet they refused to share the gift of eternal life with the Necrontyr, who yet bore the genetic curse of the bitter star they had been born under. The first sentient beings of the Milky Way Galaxy known to have developed a civilisation technologically advanced enough to cross the stars was a reptilian race of beings called the Old Ones by the Aeldari, who knew them best. What at first appeared to be unrelated alien raids serving no overall purpose were, in fact, the heralds of a disaster of galactic proportions facing the Imperium of Man. Even the lowliest of the Necrontyr was now blessed with immortality -- age and hard radiation could little erode their new mechanical bodies, and only the most terrible of injuries could destroy them utterly. [2], Necrons possess Chronosense, which allows them to adjust the speed of their perception of time. It is impossible to say how many survived, save that they number in the hundreds, or possibly thousands. They recovered the fragments of the great map from one of the Crone Worlds of the Eye of Terror, spread their networks of Outcasts and Exodites ever wider and waited for the ancient enemy to return. Now, as the Necrons awaken once more into a strife-torn galaxy, the Triarch Praetorians have also re-emerged to serve the Necron Lords' dynastic legions. The Neokhares Dynasty controlled the great artificial Tomb World known as. Even if there were, by what means would the data be catalogued? A Null Field Matrix requires incredible amounts of power to function properly and is a fragile device that must be hidden away at a Tomb World's very heart to prevent its destruction. Every phaeron and Overlord is served by a Royal Court, which assists in the administration of Tomb Worlds and the execution of military campaigns. Thin and wiry, they habitually adorn themselves with the still-wet pieces of skin and hide they have stripped from their victims, leaving behind the skinned corpses to sow fear and confusion. The Necrons are ancient beyond reckoning, predating even the birth of the Aeldari. In this bold and ambitious crossover featuring Metroid, Transformers, Worm, Warhammer 40k, … The Kardenath Dynasty is a Necron Dynasty located beyond the easternmost border of the Ultima Segmentum within the northern reaches of the Eastern Fringe. Their superior technology was consistently outmanoeuvred by the Old Ones thanks to their mastery of the Webway portals and Warp Gates. The origins of these various attacks and their motives are unknown, though it is known that the current Necron forces in the galaxy are only soul harvesters, not the full-fledged fighting machines of the C'tan. Thus the soulless machines known as the Necrons were born.[4c]. The Necrontyr species was united as never before. It will take time and a great many machinations for the Necron dynasties to regain their rightful place as the rulers of the galaxy; the agents of Chaos must be overthrown; the dangerous Aeldari, inheritors of the Old Ones' mantle, eliminated; Humanity subjugated and the great work cutting off the material universe from the Warp completed before a new age of Necron dominion can truly begin. Some wielded vast political and military power while others were vestigial and broken, mere echoes of once-great noble houses. Badass Long Robe: Deathwing Knights, the company's most elite members, wear hooded green robes over their armor. Older entities that had existed within the Immaterium transformed into terrifying psychic predators, tearing at the souls of vulnerable psykers as their own environment was torn apart and reforged into the Realm of Chaos. In 744.M41, the Silent King ended his self-imposed exile and returned to the galaxy after encounter with the Tyranids within the intergalactic void. Transcendant C'tan are the most dangerous of their kind amongst the C'tan Shards. They used their great scientific skills to genetically engineer intelligent beings with an even stronger psychic link to the Warp, hoping to create servants with the capability of channeling psychic power to defend themselves against the Necrons, whose soulless nature placed the power of the Immaterium beyond their grasp. Legions of the undying living metal warriors set out into the galaxy in their Tomb Ships and the stars burned in their wake. [4c], For sixty million years the Necrons remained in their deathless slumber in their tombs in what became known as the Great Sleep. During the War in Heaven the Triarch Praetorians fought at the forefront of that cataclysm, but their efforts were all for naught. The Necrontyr were pushed back until they were little more than an irritation to the Old Ones' dominance of the galaxy, a quiescent threat clinging to their irradiated world among the Halo Stars, exiled and forgotten. In such a state they are a terrifying sight to behold, so much so that enemy combatants lose their nerve when they see pieces of old squadmates hanging from the undying machines approaching their lines. Their wide, hunched shoulders support a leering, skull face and long, whip-like arms that wield Necrodermis scalpel blades for fingers and a nightmare array of surgical implements. Clad in crumbling vestments and wielding ancient, arcane staff weapons, the Necron Lord is a chilling sight to behold on the battlefield as they direct their Necron Warriors in unnatural silence. A Platinum-level Necron Lord has not yet been encountered by Imperial forces. They possess a reputation as planet killers and acted as the solar executioners of the War in Heaven under orders of the Silent King, who often utilised this ruthless dynasty to exterminate a race or planet that proved especially defiant. Canoptek Sentinels are used to control the raw elemental energies of a Transcendent C'tan. [3] Later the first reported contact between the Necrons and the Imperium of Man came in 897.M41 during the raid on Sanctuary 101 which was garrisoned by the Adepta Sororitas. When the Necrontyr gave up their organic bodies to serve the C'tan, they transferred their consciousnesses into bodies made of the living metal "Necrodermis". Crafted by artisans of the Oruscar Dynasty long before the onset of the War in Heaven, this web of hologram and living metal is beyond price for its artistic value alone. In the 41st Millennium, the Null Field Matrix has also proven to have a deleterious effect upon the Tyranids. The march of aeons during the Great Sleep left the Mephrit's grandeur faded and tattered. This evolving structure is made possible by a system similar to that used in the most complex assemblies of the Adeptus Mechanicus, which is known as "Nodal Command.". With every silent gesture, glittering arcs of viridian energy surround them as their empty eye sockets burn with soulless fire. Through a series of living stone portals known as the Dolmen Gates, the Necrons were finally able to turn the Old Ones' greatest weapon against them, vastly accelerating the ultimate end of the War in Heaven. In the wake of these victories, the C'tan and their undying Necron servants now dominated the galaxy. At first, the Silent King embraced this species-wide unanimity, for it was a welcome reprieve from the chaos that had consumed the Necrontyr Empire in recent years. This also protects them from many of the practical problems and dangers of Warp travel. The Necrons were laid to rest, ordered to sleep for sixty million years and then reawaken, ready to rebuild all that was lost and restore the dynasties to their former glory. However, despite this psychic immunity, Pariahs tend to not live long as the feelings of hatred and distaste they generate among others due to their soulless state means they have few friends and many enemies. First, the Tomb World releases swarms of robotic Canoptek Scarab and Canoptek Spyder constructs to attend to the rudimentary needs of the stasis tombs. The Imperium's C'tan Phase Weapons are also crafted from necrodermis. Throughout the War in Heaven, the wharves of Seidon continued to ply their trade, but instead sent expeditionary forces in search of fresh worlds to conquer. He discovered the Tyranids were just one of many threats facing the Necrons. But as time wore on, further strife came to the Necrontyr. This enables the warriors of Nephrekh to drink deep and grow strong. Nevertheless, there is one common cause that binds all Tomb Worlds: the rebuilding of the Necron dynasties of old, and the return of the Necrons to their rightful place of supremacy over the whole of the ignorant galaxy. Already jealous of the Old Ones' seemingly eternal life spans, the Necrontyr went to war with the Old Ones, the separatists abandoned their rebellion, and the War in Heaven began. [4l], During the Great Sleep the Silent King was on a self-imposed exile into the void between galaxies while the majority of the Necron race was still in hibernation. Should a fallen Necron warrior fail to phase out, it self-destructs and is consumed in a blaze of emerald light. The terrible wars between the Old Ones and the Necrontyr that followed, known later in Aeldari myth as the War in Heaven, would fill a library in their own right, but the Necrontyr could never win. The lords of the re-emergent Oltep Dynasty delved deep beneath the empty Imperial hab-blocks only to discover that the favoured, The worlds ruled by the Oroskh Dynasty are heavily infected by the dreaded Flayer Virus -- the result of a deliberate contamination conducted by. Fortunately, all of the Necron fleets encountered so far were small task forces that usually disengaged and phased out like their land-based counterparts, rather than putting up a full fight. Due to the current situation, it is not possible to ship goods to all countries. In the aftermath, and fearing the vengeance of the Old Ones, the Deceiver and its brothers had hidden themselves away, hoping one day to find allies with whom they could finally bring the Old Ones to account. Having slept so still and for so long, it is not possible for a Tomb World to awaken quickly into a fully alert state. Likewise, the Necrons now enjoyed a political unity that the Necrontyr had never known, though it was achieved through tyranny and the complete loss of individuality and emotion rather than by any form of consent. No longer did the prospect of a common enemy have any hold over the disparate dynasties. Where they passed, they seeded new intelligent species and reshaped thousands of worlds to make them their own according to their predetermined environmental and geographic criteria. With the pact between the Necrontyr and C'tan sealed, the Star Gods revealed the form that immortality would take for the Necrontyr, and the great biotransference process began. Scattered Necron raiding parties heralded the undying race's awakening to full activity once more in the 41st Millennium, but now as their thirsty Star Gods, the C'tan, rise to a hungry wakefulness for life energy, the dreaded Necrontyr have returned to claim the galaxy for their own. Yet as Seidon's Necron nobility have no need to query the Tomb Mind, the fault continues to go unnoticed. Yet even here a tiny spark of self-awareness remains, enough only to torment the Necron with vague memories and echoes of the past it once knew. With access to such great resource-wealth, crownworlds were able to construct the most reliable stasis-crypts for their inhabitants. There are more than two dozen records of Necron contacts in space in Imperial archives, and accounts of other intelligent species like the Orks, Aeldari and T'au battling Necron fleets also exist. Entombed in stasis-crypts for millions of Terran years, they have slumbered through the aeons, waiting for the galaxy to heal from the wounds of a long and bloody war. Telling the Silent King that his kind had also fought and been defeated by the Old Ones and were now looking for vengeance. Necron Deathmarks are the highly-skilled snipers and assassins of the Necron forces, appearing from apparently nowhere and striking with terrible precision. The name literally means "corpse skin" (from Greek νεκρος and δερμις, or dermis). Their bodies are large and rounded in order to accommodate the internal systems that construct the smaller constructs known as Canoptek Scarabs as needed. madness and conflicting agendas. But as resistance grows, so does the strength of the forces that will be released by the Tomb World's autonomic systems to the Nodal Command structure for use by the commanding Necron Lord or Lords. Yet if billions of Necrons have been destroyed by the passage of eternity, countless billions more remain to see their dominion reborn. However, as time wore on he grew weary of his burden, but dared not sever the command protocols lest his subjects turn on him seeking vengeance for the terrible curse he had visited upon them. His new machine body was far mightier than the frail form he had tolerated for so long, and his thoughts were swifter and clearer than they had ever been. Many of its dormant Tomb Worlds were devoured by the, The Dyvanakh Dynasty rules many Tomb Worlds to the galactic south-east in the Ultima Segmentum, adjacent to the Sekemtar Dynasty, a Client Dynasty of the powerful Sautek Dynasty. Their science allowed them to cross the vast gulfs of space with only a single step via the myriad of Warp Gates they had built to connect the worlds of the galaxy in a vast network, much like the Aeldari Webway of today; though on a much larger scale. At long last, however, they are beginning to awaken, seeking to reestablish the supremacy of the Necron Dynasties over the Galaxy once more. Using their mastery of advanced interdimensional geometry, the Necrons built massive chambers that could house tens of thousands of their kind in a space seemingly larger on the inside than without. Ferociously quick, the most common use for Destroyers is as mobile fire support platforms. Yet even with the defeat of both the Old Ones and C'tan, the Silent King saw that the time of the Necrons was - for the moment - over. Under Thaszar's command, the ancient and noble crownworld of the Sarnekh Dynasty has been made over into the Reaveworld. Through it all, the only dissenting voice was that of Orikan, the court astrologer, who foretold that the alliance between the Necrontyr and the C'tan would bring about a renaissance of glory, but destroy forever the soul of the Necrontyr people. No one has borne witness to the atrocities committed by these steel harbingers of apocalypse and lived, and so it can only be guessed at the threat stirring on barren worlds scattered across the galaxy. In a typically bitter act of jealousy and resentment for the Necrontyr race, it was the Silent King who used the Old Ones' refusal to share the secret of immortality as a pretext for war, forcibly uniting the entire Necrontyr species beneath the rule of the Triarch against their common foe. As the centuries passed, ever more Tomb Worlds fell prey to malfunction or ill-fortune. And everywhere, inquisitive lifeforms scrabbled and fought over the bones of Necron territories, causing more damage in their unthinking search for knowledge than the vengeful Aeldari ever could. Hierarchy. Hundreds of Human worlds are depopulated or destroyed every year, and if their fates are noted at all by the Administratum, the cause of their demise is rarely discovered. In the complex skeins of the energetic plasma of these suns, the Necrontyr found a sentience that was more ancient than that of any of the corporeal species in Creation, including the Old Ones. So it is that whilst most Asuryani craftworlds are re-honing half-remembered strategies from the War in Heaven, Alaitoc is reaching its hand, assailing the Necrons on their own territory, sabotaging their Tomb Worlds and bringing the fight to their legions of undying warriors whenever the opportunity presents itself. In defeat, they "phase-out" and return to their associated Tomb World for repairs. As even the smallest of Tomb Worlds has at least two-score nobles of lesser rank, an Overlord can commonly draw upon at least a hundred legions of Necron Warriors, should they have need. On desolate worlds thought long-bereft of all life, ancient machineries wake into grim purpose, commencing the slow process of revivification that will see those entombed within freed to stride across the stars once again. If all goes well, the master program's actions will be sufficient to drive out the invader, or at least stall their progress until the first Necron legions have awoken. The unstoppable, undying Necron legions are rising. Their voidships are stunningly fast and agile, equipped with propulsion systems which are capable of traveling interstellar distances without entering the Warp as well as by using the Dolmen Gates into the Webway. These Tomb Worlds are the ones that have activated the most rapidly during the current awakening of the Necrons and are now hives of activity for the undying race. In most situations, only a few Necron Warriors and specialist support units like Destroyers or Wraiths are deployed to defeat an emerging threat. however, complex reanimation protocols and self-repair rituals keep their forces strong, even in defeat. They can manifest energy blasts, control the minds of lesser beings, manipulate the flow of time, and banish foes to alternate dimensions. The mind reels from imagining what kinds of horrific machines the Necrons may yet unleash upon an unsuspecting galaxy when this unknown line is finally crossed in the not-too-distant future. This process transformed the Necrontyr into the undying Necrons. He intends to unite the Necrons against the Tyranids while also manipulating the younger races to his own schemes. As the threat level rises, so too does the intensity of the master program's countermeasures, prioritising the activation of the Tomb World's automated defences and the revivification of its armies according to the needs of the situation at hand. In battle Drakvir is accompanied by his Royal Court, foremost amongst whom is Overlord R'zhan R'drah, Regent of Oblivios, a necessary, but untrustworthy, second in command, who musters the Xonthar Decurions when Drakvir is otherwise engaged. Snuff out one of these lights and its physical counterpart in the real galaxy will go supernova long millennia before its destined time, bringing fiery oblivion to all nearby worlds through the use of technology far beyond the understanding of Mankind. Such devices are unstable, making the deployment of a Transcendant C'tan without the device known as a Tesseract Vault to contain it something of a risk, only undertaken in times of direst need. The Tomb Worlds listed below represent no more than a handful of the many millions spread throughout the galaxy. Others are damaged, their entombed legions afflicted by slow madness or worn to dust by entropy's irresistible onset. They offered the Necrontyr a path to immortality and the physical stability their race had always craved. Map of Necron Dynasty activity across the Milky Way Galaxy, ca. Several Necron super-weapons such as the World Engine and Celestial Orrery have galaxy-devastating capabilities. The Pariah Gene is extremely rare and confined solely to Mankind, meaning that Pariahs are quite rare in the galaxy, and there are very few even amongst the Necrons. It is impossible to say for certain how the Necrontyr first made contact with the C'tan, though many misleading, contradictory and one-sided accounts of these events exist. When the Necron race entered hibernation after the end of the War in Heaven over 60 million Terran years ago, the Triarch Praetorians chose to remain awake. To take such a step, the incumbent must be entirely sure of their own position, as a challenge to tradition is sure to rouse discontent within their own court. Possessed of even more resilient frames, Necron Immortals prove almost impervious to small arms. All Necrons are tall, skeletal figures made of a living metal called Necrodermis that provides excellent protection in battle and is able to repair itself if damaged, allowing even heavily damaged Necrons to rise up and do battle once more. With their superior anti-gravity technology their mobility equals that of an Aeldari Jetbike. Faced with the total collapse of their rule, the Triarch searched desperately for a means of restoring order. However, all Aeldari agree that the splinters of knowledge held by the Imperium of Man are so flawed and confused that they, if anything, move further from the truth with each fresh discovery made. At long last, however, they are beginning to awaken from their Tomb Worlds, for the galaxy is ripe for conquest and the restoration of the Necron Empire since the disappearance of the Old Ones more than 60 million standard years ago. The C'tan or Necron "Star Gods," known in the Aeldari Lexicon as the Yngir, are said to be the oldest intelligent beings in existence in the Milky Way Galaxy. So did the Triarch declare war on the Old Ones. Even as a raiding force, they are a serious threat because they are fully capable of outmaneuvering most other fleets (probably with the exception of the Asuryani and their dark Drukhari kin) to pick fights on an even footing. The Old Ones' intergalactic Webway network was breached from the Immaterium and lost to them. The deliciously focused trickles of electromagnetic energy given off by the physical bodies of the Necrontyr all about them awakened a new hunger in the C'tan very unlike the one they had once sated using the nourishing, but essentially tasteless, energies of the stars. To the younger sentient species of the galaxy, the Necrons and their Star Gods were cruel masters, callously harvesting their populations at will to feed the C'tan's ceaseless hunger. Yet even with the defeat of the Old Ones and the C'tan alike, the Silent King saw that the time of the Necrons in the galaxy was over -- for the moment, at least. Yet though the price had been steep, biotransference had fulfilled all of the promises that the C'tan had made. The C'tan, almost impossible to destroy entirely due to their very nature, were instead shattered into shards. To external observers, the behaviour of awoken Tomb Worlds must seem eclectic almost to the point of randomness. In this they are, at best, only tangentially correct. Alas, the C'tan were immortal star-spawn, part of the fundamental fabric of reality and therefore nigh-impossible to destroy. At the allotted time, a Necron Overlord is awakened, and upon their full revival the Tomb Mind cedes power to its creators. With the devastating weapon known as a Rod of Covenant at their disposal there is very little that can survive the assault of a Triarch Praetorian. The matter around them was so insignificant that it did not register on their voracious appetite. Even with these precautions, the Necrons are wary of employing C'tan Shards in battle. In situations where speed is less important than processing all of the relevant information, decision-making defers across several Bronze or Silver-level Lords, and can even devolve down to the individual Necron Warriors at specific times during combat. In addition to the bodies of the C'tan and the Necrons themselves, all Necron vehicles and starships are made from necrodermis, including Monoliths and Gauss Pylons. Deep beneath Gheden's surface lies the Oracle Chamber, where the bulbous head of an ancient alien prophet gifted with psychic precognition is kept alive through a combination of stasis field technology and temporal stabilisers. Searching its databases, the Tomb Mind sent its mindless Necron legions of "the Severed" to invade Takarak, a slumbering Tomb World located nearby. Canoptek Wraiths prowl the corridors of slumbering tombs of a Necron Tomb World, gliding silently through the cyclopean corridors, guarding against intrusion and ensuring the safety of its slumbering occupants.
