Changes

The Necrons burst into the Old Ones strongest fortresses and destroyed , overcoming their magics magicks and technology. The Old Ones were forced to seed planets with life to help fight the C'tan, including the Eldar and [[Krork]]. These races had the ability to use the warp to defend themselves. Gradually, the Old Ones were forced back by the relentless push of the C'tan and billions of souls were harvested for the Star Gods. The C'tan had been working on a plan to cripple the Old Ones, and eventually it came to fruition. They burst into and destroyed the webways discovered by the Old Ones. Without these portals, the Old Ones were unable to move troops throughout the galaxy. With the new races using so much warp increasing their power for the purposes of killing, the benign creatures in the warp mutated into the evil creatures they are today. Then the [[Enslavers]] came, and forced the Necrons back with their psychic powers. The 4 remaining C'tan went into stasis to avoid the Enslavers and allow the galaxy to repopulate without the psychic swarm, so they could emerge and reconquer their empireincredible proportions.¹

Countless The C'tan had been working on a plan to cripple the Old Ones, and eventually it came to frutition. They burst into and destroyed the webways discovered by the Old Ones. Without these portals, the Old Ones were unable to move troops throughout the galaxy. With the new races using so much warp power for the purposes of killing, the benign creatures in the warp mutated into the evil creatures they are today. At the precipice of victory, the [[Enslavers]] emerged from the now tumultuous [[Warp]] and forced the C'tan and their slaves back with their psychic powers, the weakness of the Star Gods. The Enslavers killed many of the C'tan, leaving the Necrons in disarray and without figureheads to lead them and forcing the C'tan away from the forefront. As the Enslaver plague expanded sections of the galaxy, the four remaining C'tan went into stasis to avoid the onslaught and allow the galaxy to repopulate without the psychic swarm so they could emerge and reconquer their empire. However, this kindled a single-minded determination in the C'tan to eliminate the only threat to their conquest, the Warp. Thus began the [[Great Work]], the severing of the [[Materium]] and [[Immaterium]] so that the C'tan would go unchallenged once again.¹ For countless years, the Necrons remained in their deathless slumber hidden in their tombs on many worldsas the Enslavers were defeated by the races the Old Ones created, this however, would not last. In 783.M41, the Eldar [[Farseer]] [[Eldrad Ulthran]] of [[Craftworld]] [[Ulthwe]] witnessed a vision where on the dead world of [[Maedrex]] an Imperial [[Explorator]] team would arrive and unwittingly awaken the Necrons on that planet. To prevent this, the Eldar struck quickly and destroyed the Imperial ships before descending onto the planet where they purged it of the Necron presence.³ Later came the first reported contact between the Necrons and the [[Imperium]] of Man came in [[897.M41]] during the raid on [[Sanctuary 101]] which was garrisoned by the [[Adeptus Sororitas]]. At the time, the invaders were identified as an unknown form of Xenos species but later reported as being the first encounter with the awakening Necrons. Its also later reported that the invaders did not attack the colony but instead emerged from the ground itself.³

In appearance, the Necrons are skeletal parodies of living beings with preservative fluids oozing swirling green energies emanating from their mechanical limbs and baleful lifeless emerald eyes. All of their numbers possess sophisticated auto-repair systems throughout their exo-skeletal systems that can repair even the most crippling of damages. Whilst While this can keep them functioning constantly, should there be irrepairable damage sustained than the Necron ''"phases out"''. Both their minds and their bodies are teleported to the nearest tomb complex where they either remain in storage until repairs are made or a new body is forged. Thus act does, however, come at a cost as each act of transference leads to a decay in the Necron's engrams. As such, those Necrons that have ''"died"'' and phased out hundreds of times suffer the most for they become little more than automatons who have lost the memory of the creature that they used to be in life.²
