There are more efficient ways, but many necessitate the willing cooperation of other species, others who will slay as I do.

The '''Destroyer Cult''' is a sub-sect of [[Necron]] society characterized by their hatred of all life.{{Fn|1a}}
==Description==
[[Image:Lokhust Heavy Destroyer.jpg|thumb|right|220px|[[Lokhust Heavy Destroyer]]{{Fn|4}}]]
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 centred 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. 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}} The [[Oruscar Dynasty]] member [[Revkkah]], for example, believed [[Aza'gorod]] was responsible for the creation of the Destroyer Cults and thought the infected were the C'tan's bastard offspring.{{Fn|7}}
