When war was declared, the Necrontyr realized they would never be able to win. They were constantly outmaneuvered by the Old Ones mastery of the webways. Eventually they were pushed back to merely an annoyance in the outer regions among the halo stars. The fury of the Necrontyr was cooled after many thousands of years of imprisonment, and their disgust of the Old Ones turned into an utter hatred of all life.
Due to As their sun being what has star had haunted them for so longtheir own existance, the Necrontyr have studied the suns stars in an attempt to understand more of how they worked and to try to find something they could unleash on the Old Ones. Eventually, they found something so ancient as to predate even the Old Ones. This sentience fed on the stars they orbited but had little conception of the universe around them other than satiating satisfying their need for energy. This was the weapon they needed to fight the Old Ones, and win. Their etheric form made them invincible to conventional weapons. They were named [[C'tan]], or Star Gods.
How the Necrontyr managed to communicate with these beings is unknown, but the Necrontyr knew these beings could not understand the material universe without a physical, material body. So they made bodies for these creatures out of their living metal, allowing these bodies to expand and change at the will of the beingenclosed. Supposedly, 'translucent streams of force' were seen as the first being moved across the incorporeal starlight bridge into the bodies body forged for themit.
The first being to come across the starlight bridge was the Nightbringer. As the creature became more manifest and intelligent, the Necrontyr fell in awe of their discovery. Shortly after this, the Necrontyr began to worship the C'tan were worshiped as gods simply because of for their supreme powers. The C'tan turned the Necrontyr into slaves and enjoyed ruling over them with cruelty and distrust.
Soon the Necrontyr were ready to begin the battle anew with the Old Ones. The C'tan then made a proposition to the Necrontyr, one that they could not refuse. They The C'tan offered immortality stability for the race. Their cursed flesh would be discarded in favor of bodies like their gods, made of living metal. Their bodies would be consumed and their minds transferred into the new metal bodies with which they could continue the war with the Old Ones. Whether the Necrontyr knew what the consequences of this were is unknown, but their entire race was purged, when transferred into the metal bodies. Their minds were dulled and they were drawn into eternal servitude. Only a few of the Necrontyr retained any form of independent thought, but it was much reduced. The Necrontyr were no more, and the [[Necron]]s were born.
