{{NecronsPortal}}[[Image:NecronPylon.jpg|left|thumb|A Necron Pylon and two Warriors used for scale]]The '''Necron Pylon''' is a super heavy device used by the [[Necrons]]. The rules for this vehicle are found in Imperial Armour Update 20052006. ==History=====First Encounter===Necron Pylons were first encountered on [[WDY-272]], where they emerged from the sands of this uncharted world and opened fire without prior provocation. Their location was logged by the Imperium for subsequent aerial bombardment, but when the strike was made the Pylons seemed to have vanished without a trace.² ==The Necron Pylon in the 41st Millennium==A Necron Pylon is a crescent shaped Necron "defense turret" constructed from the same living metal as the Necron [[Monolith]].² Unlike traditional turrets, a Pylon's position is not fixed and Necron attacks are often supported by Pylons that are teleported to the surface of the besieged world. When used in a defensive manner, Pylons emerge from the ground to attack trespassers and subsequently vanish to escape retaliation.² In the 2006 campaign for [[Medusa IV]] The objective of the Necron force was to construct a series of pylons across the planet to protect against the encroaching warp storm, as most Necron and C'tan technology (such as [[Blank]]s) seems based on combating warp related technology and beings. ==Design=====Armament===A Necron Pylon has a Necron Power Matrix similar to that of a Monolith, from which the Pylon draws energy prior to discharging it in one of two forms, either as a Particle Accelerator attack or a Gauss Flux Arc.²  A Particle Accelerator is a larger version of the Monolith's Particle Whip, and is the result of the Pylon focussing the energy from the Power Matrix into a single bolt.² The Gauss Flux Arc is coruscating discharge that is capable of affecting multiple units at a lower strength than that of the more focussed Particle Accelerator.² It has been suggested that a Pylon may be able to utilise energy via "other methods" but these abilities, and whether they refer to weapons systems or other systems, remain unknown.²
