=== The Necrons Rise ===
Soon the Necrontyr were ready to begin the battle anew with the Old Ones. The C'tan then made a proposition to the Necrontyr that they could not refuse: immortality for their race. Their cursed flesh would be discarded in favour of bodies like their gods', made of living metal. Their bodies old forms would be consumed and their minds transferred into the new metal bodies skeletons with which they could continue the war with the Old Ones. Whether the Necrontyr knew the consequences of this is unknown, but their entire race was purged when it was they were transferred into the metal bodies. Their minds were dulled and they were drawn forced into eternal servitude. Only a few of the Necrontyr retained any form of independent thought, but it was much albeit far reducedfrom their past intellect. The Necrontyr were no more, and the [[Necron]]s were born.{{Fn|1}}
