Each of them possess an internal repair system, capable all but the most grievous of wounds. Side Note- The Old Ones are said to have created both the Orks and the Eldar in an effort to destroy the Necrons.Ī Necron cannot ever be destroyed. Although some worlds have been destroyed or populated by other species, the Necrons are slowly regrouping, and will not stop until their final goal is achieved. Each game has its own figures and armies, with the latest edition featuring Space Marines.
Since its creation over 30 years ago, there has been a huge range of different versions and adaptations to enjoy. Now, in the 41st Millennia, their numbers are rising from the tomb worlds. Warhammer 40,000, often referred to as Warhammer 40k, is a tabletop war role playing game with miniature figures. The Necron king, Szarekh, decided to transform all Necron cities into giant tomb worlds, where the Necron race would sleep for 60 million years, only to emerge and conquer the universe, restoring their dynasties to their former glory. The Necrons, with their forces severely depleted, could not stand up to the rising forces of the Eldar. However, the C'tan could not be truly defeated, and were instead shattered into numerous shards and spread across the universe. Upon accomplishing their goal, the Necrons turned on the C'tan. Becoming nearly indestructible upon receiving their immortal bodies, the Necrons, alongside the C'tan, destroyed the Old Ones in a purge that destroyed whole star systems. They were once human, but in an epic battle against the immortal Old Ones millions of years ago, they sold their souls to the almighty C'tan, also known as the Star Gods. Taking inspiration from both the Terminator movies and the Egyptian dynasties of old, these immortal cybernetic beings rise up from long-buried tombs, marching into battle with arcane technologies beyond the ken of mortal men. A legion of undead warriors made of living metal, the Necrons are indeed fearsome. The Necrons are the Warhammer 40k Xenos equivalent of the Undead in many fantasy settings.
