Talk:Pylon

?

"1- Time - Necrons have gone over 60 millions years ago. How they could know about Eye of Terror and the birth of Slaanesh. 2- Place - if Slaanesh was born in the very centre of Eldar empire, then comes the question, was necrons conquests of galaxy so far, that they were able to constuct Pylons right in the heart of Eldar civilization."

What does the Eye of Terror have to do with the pylons? Warp storms aren't only in the Eye of Terror. Also, the Necrons are far older then the Eldar. The pylons would have been constructed before the Eldar even had a civilization. These two points are wrong.

The pylons emit a form of energy much like that produced by Imperial Geller fields. They have the ability to hold back warp-stuff and in so doing they have created the Cadian gate. The Eldar are known to have fought against the Necrons in the first great war, several documents mention their presence even if it was when they were using swords rather than shurikens. The real questions are:

• How did the Necrons know to build the Pylons where they did?
• When did they build them?

Something tells me it wasn't a form of future-sight that the Necrons used, that power coming from the warp and them being anathema to the warp itself rules that out. Another solution would be that they were constructed after the creation of the Eye of Terror, at the end of the Age of Strife. It is always possible that, as communications and space travel were very difficult, the Necrons could have constructed them in secret. Also it could be that they were put there to hold back a different warp storm which had formed in the past and just happened to be there to stop the Eye.

As similar constructions were being made during the Medusa V campaign and that coincided with the coming of a warp storm, the link is hard to disprove.--Jonru 10:41, 26 July 2008 (CEST)

There was Necron activity occuring before 897.M41, so it is not unlikely that the Necrons built the Pylons some time after the Eye was formed. Commisar Gegnillum 19:29, 29 June 2011 (CEST)
