 The
Necrons, an alien race ancient beyond imagining, are awakening from
their sixty-million year dormancy to plague the living once more.
Thousands of immortal, soulless warriors have risen from dusty stasis-tombs,
intent on preying on the teeming species of the galaxy. The Necrons'
miraculous technology was far in advance of any contemporary equivalent
long before the Eldar, reckoned the oldest among races, had even
come into existence. Although the Imperium of Man has only recently
acknowledged the Necrons' reappearance, the monstrous gods of the
Necrons feasted upon colossal stars before the planets themselves
were born.
Once a proud race whose empire spanned the stars, the Necrons now
exist purely to serve their omniscient masters, inescapably bound
to the malignant will of the ancient deities that granted the Necrons
immortality. At the vanguard of their forces are the Necron Lords,
their tattered shrouds flowing in an unearthly breeze as they silently
compel their skeletal warriors forward.
Alongside the Necron Lords march the metal monstrosities and war
machines of their race, some mercurially fast and utterly lethal,
some as ponderous and inescapable as death itself. The Necrons specialize
in terror attacks, striking without warning, slaughtering their
prey and disappearing without trace. The purpose of these attacks
is unknown, but their total, devastating efficiency is without question.
