The '''Destroyer Cult''' is a sub-sect of [[Necron]] society.{{Fn|1a}}
==Description==
Those of the Destroyer Cult 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 Cult 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 have been seen among every social class in Necron society{{Fn|1b}}. Destroyer Cultists are outcasts in their own society, with most Necrons believing their madness to be infectious. However, Dynasties still find them useful shock troops.{{Fn|6}}
