Once called '''World Harvesters''' by the [[Eldar]], the Abattoirs are more building than vehicle, and have been responsible for the destruction of many worlds and civilisations. During ancient times these pyramid-sized constructs were used when slave races could not be transported to the temples of the [[C'tan]] to be sacrificed.
Unlike most [[Necron]] units and vehicles the Abattoir does not have phasing capacities, instead it has to be brought to a world to be deployed on site. This is generally done by a rapid-deployment ship like the [[Scythe Class Harvester]]. Once on the surface, it walks around, supported by tentacle-like limbs that are deployed from its capacitor sub-pyramids. Like most [[Necron]] units the Abattoir makes heavy use of [[Gauss weaponry]], although its armaments are however of much greater strengthstronger. Not An Abbatoir's weapons not only flaying flay their victims where they stand, but also harvesting harvest their pain and fear at the moment of death, creating a stored source of sustenance for the [[C'tan]]. Next In addition to these weapons , it makes heavy use of the carries massive swarms of [[Scarabs]] it carries inside that ; normally are used for maintenance purposes, they can also be deployed offensively.
