The '''Destroyer Cult''' is a sub-sect of [[Necron]] society.{{Fn|1a}}
Those of the Destroyer Cults are [[Necrons]] who have descended into apparent madness and are considered untrustworthy and dangerous by their own kind{{Fn|1a}}. They are agents of annihilation whose sole reason for existence is centered around an unshakable yearning to cleanse the universe of life. Unlike most other Necrons those of the Destroyer Cults do not wish to reverse [[Biotransference]] and regain their organic forms, instead they have heavily modified themselves to better kill their foes. Members of the Destroyer Cult can be found on every [[Tomb World]] and been seen among every social class in Necron society. What impels them to join the Cult is unknown, but some suspect a subconscious imperative programmed into their command protocols - possibly by the [[C'tan]].{{Fn|1b}}
Such is the hatred of life that members of the Destroyer Cult hold that they will relentlessly scour down a planets organisms down to the microscopic level. These include plants and bacteria and even oceans, which they will boil with their weaponry. Even if it takes decades, Destroyers will never cease in their purge.{{Fn|5}}
