'''Immortals''' are the shock troops of the [[NecronsNecron]]army. In the time before bioconversion, they were the soldiers of the Necrontyr civilization: battle-hardened veterans who were born anew into tireless, metal bodies. They are said to be While their forms lack much in the most favoured way of the servants strength and complexity of their superiors, the Immortals were given bodies that were better-constructed and armored than their smaller, [[Necron OverlordWarrior]]sbrethren, and were some of equipped with superior weapons. Furthermore, Immortals have retained the ability to talk, albeit in a flat, emotionless tone: all the first better to issue orders to Warriors, relay reports to give up their bodiessuperiors. They are metal giantsrarely speak in other situations, equalling a [[Space Marine]] in heightremaining silent when faced with concepts beyond their understanding.^1a However, but wielding far more dangerous weaponrythere has been at least one documented case of an Immortal verbally sparring with an opponent on the battlefield.²

Due They are veritable giants, towering over even a [[Space Marine]],² and have retained much of their skill and expertise from their previous lives. If anything, bioconversion has allowed them to prosecute war with an even-greater amount of efficiency. Unlike the Necron Warrior, who will fall back on defensive protocols should it be without orders, an Immortal will strive for victory using every tactic and strategy at its disposal, if left to its own devices. An Immortal is incapable of adapting to their agenew modes of warfare, their silver sleekness but war has been worn away, although even with technological advancements, remained the same across the eons, and an Immortal is seldom baffled in this manner.^1a Where an Immortal is found wanting in no way reduces terms of tactical flexibility, it more than makes up for it in the quality of its armour. Immortals are capable of wading through storms of heavy bolter or assault cannon fire with nothing to show for it but fresh carbon scoring on their terrifying appearancemetallic forms. Furthermore, an Immortal’s self-repair systems are slightly superior to a Warrior’s, allowing them to present a still-more persistent threat to the enemy. Unlike The enemy will not-so-easily withstand an Immortal’s return fire, as their [[Necron WarriorGauss Blaster]]s they are capable of speech, albeit punching through most armor with ease and flaying the flesh from the bones of the soldiers inside. An Immortal’s weight of fire only increases as it closes in on a flat target, and emotionless toneit will methodically chip away an enemy’s cover until there is nowhere to hide, and every nook and cranny is scoured. This allows them to issue orders to their superiors ^1a Necron Immortals are armed either with '''Gauss Blasters''' or [[Tesla Carbine]]s, and give them usually take to standard Necron Warriorsthe field in units of 5-10 Immortals.^11b
