The '''Carnac Campaign''' was a battle in 999.[[M41]] between the [[Necrons]] of [[Anrakyr|Anrakyr the Traveller]] and an [[Eldar]] warhost under [[Farseer]] [[Starbane]].<sup>1</sup>
==Overview==
Anrakyr had come to the [[Tomb World]] of Carnac expecting to reawaken it to his cause, only to find it infested with Eldar [[Exodite]]s. Realizing the forces at his immediate disposal are outmatched, Anrakyr commissions aid from [[Mandragora]], [[Gidrim]], [[Trakonn]], and forces from[[Solemnace]] led by [[Trazyn|Trazyn the Infinite]] himself. However by this point, the Eldar [[Craftworld]] [[Alaitoc]] had arrived to reinforce the Exodites under Farseer Starbane, who sought revenge the Necrons for his earlier humiliation at the hands of [[Imotekh|Imotekh the Stormlord]].<sup>1</sup>
The Eldar first attempt to stall the Necrons with hit-and-run attacks under the command of the [[Ranger]] [[Illic Nightspear]] and strike at Anrakyr and his closest allies, but Anrakyr is able to avoid the assassination attempt due to information provided by [[Orikan|Orikan the Diviner]] and the squad of rangers is ambushed by [[Deathmark]]s.<sup>1</sup>
After several inconclusive battles on Carnac's plains, Anrakyr marches on the [[World Spirit]] shrine and thus forces the Eldar into a direct confrontation. Though the two sides are well matched in the ensuing bloodbath, the Necrons hardiness countered the precise strikes of the Eldar and Carnac's tomb suddenly awakens, providing Anrakyr with the flood of reinforcements he needs to finally emerge victorious. The Eldar retreat, and Anrakyr allows Trazyn to take the planets World Shrine as a spoil of war.<sup>1</sup>
