==History==
A Necron Pylon is a crescent shaped Necron "defense turret" constructed from the same living metal as the Necron [[Monolith]]. <sup>2</sup> 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. Pylons have a large range of fire thanks to their ability to rapidly traverse the firing element of their primary weapon system, making them a threat to both land-based targets and aircraft alike.<sup>2</sup>
In the 2006 campaign for [[Medusa IV]] The 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.
