cleaned up Ferrus Manus theory, not sure if unconfirmed conjecture should remain at all :S

{{NecronsPortal}}
The [[Necrontyr]] originally invented '''living metal''' for use in constructing their ships. It is a metallic substance that appears to grow and heal as if it were part of a living organism. It is most often associated with the skin of the [[C'tan]] as well as the bodies of the [[Necrons]] and their [[We'll Be Back|amazing regenerative abilities]].<sup>2</sup> The hands of [[Ferrus Manus]] were also said to be made of living metal.{{Cite This}}
The hull of all Necron vehicles, including the [[Necron]] [[Monolith]] and the [[Necron Pylon]], is also made of this living metal, where its adaptive and regerative capabilities render powerful weapons such as [[Meltaguns]], [[Multi-meltas]] and [[Power Fist]]s almost obsolete.<sup>2</sup>
==C'tan Phase Weaponry==
A class of weapons known as [[C'tan Phase Weapon]]s are also thought to utilize living metal. These are usually potent close combat weapons but when they come into contact with the necrodermis of a C'tan (forged from Living Metal), they are sucked from the hands of their wielder as if the C'tan is reabsorbing a part of its body.<sup>1</sup>
==Asirnoth==
It has been theorized that [[Asirnoth]], the Silver Wyrm whose melted skin coated The hands of [[Ferrus Manus]] is potentially a Necron construct, and thus his hands were coated with living metal; however there has been no confirmation of this.
