Phylactery
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Phylacteries are pieces of equipment used by Necron Lords, Crypteks, and Necron Overlords.[2]
Each Phylactery is a small item containing a swarm of Nanoscarabs[3] with powerful repair capabilities. If the Necron Lord has received significant damage, the creatures swarm over the Lord's body, re-knitting his frame, allowing the Lord to continue the fight.[1]
