The Necrons are an ancient race of soulless, metallic warriors who once ruled the galaxy and now rise from millennia of slumber to reclaim their empire. Driven by cold logic and the will of their undying masters, the Necrons combine advanced technology, implacable durability, and a chilling aesthetic to create an army as menacing as it is powerful. Collecting the Necrons allows players to command a force of relentless, robotic conquerors with a rich history and a grim determination to reclaim the stars.
Necron miniatures are a painter’s dream, with their skeletal designs, eerie glowing energy effects, and intricate details that evoke ancient but highly advanced alien machinery. From the hulking Destroyer Lords and towering Monoliths to the legions of skeletal Necron Warriors, their models balance ancient horror with sleek, futuristic design. On the battlefield, Necrons are a resilient army, capable of enduring incredible punishment thanks to their Reanimation Protocols, which allow fallen warriors to rise again. Their unique arsenal of gauss weapons and other alien technologies can strip enemies of defences and cut down even the toughest foes with precision and efficiency. Necrons also excel at board control, with their ability to teleport and summon reinforcements to key locations.
The lore of the Necrons is steeped in tragedy and ambition, detailing their fall from mortal beings to soulless constructs in a desperate bid for immortality. Now ruled by ancient overlords with conflicting agendas—ranging from galactic conquest to a desire for revenge against their former gods—the Necrons are as fascinating in their motivations as they are terrifying in their methods. For players who love an army that is as visually striking as it is mechanically durable and tactically unique, the Necrons are an ideal choice—a force that exemplifies the relentless march of death and technological supremacy.
