Annihilation Legion
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Annihilation Legions, or also known as Cults of Annihilation, are Necron armies that are composed of a Dynasty's forces that have been afflicted by the Flayer or Destroyer Curse.[1]
Description
They are created by their Dynasty's Overlord, when their numbers grow to large for them to be safely harnessed. The afflicted armies are then given to the command of Nobles who have also fallen to the Flayer or the Destroyer Curse, as no others would risk becoming infected as well. When they are unleashed in battle, the Annihilation Legions are accompanied by Plasmacytes and become an unstoppable tide of blood-mad killers, who are intent on scouring the galaxy of life.[1]
