Template:NPort Abattoir

Once called World Harvesters by the Eldar this more building than vehicle weapon has been the destruction of many worlds and civilisations. During ancient times this small pyramid sized construct was used when slave races could not be transported to the temples of the C'tan to be sacrificed. Unlike most Necron units and vehicles the Abattoir does not have phasing capacities, it has to be brought to a world to be deployed on site. This a generally done by a rapidly deploying ship like the Scythe Class Harvester dropping off the Abattoir. Once on the surface it will walk around supported by tentacle like limbs that are deployed from its capacitor subpyramids.


Like most Necron units the Abattoir makes heavy use of Gauss weaponary, its armaments are however of much greater strength. Not only flaying their victims where they stand, but also harvesting their pain and fear at the moment of death, creating a stored source of sustenance for the C'tan. Next to these weapons it makes heavy use of the massive swarms of Scarabs it carries inside that normally are used for maintenance purposes.
