This is Game Theory — The Necrons
The Necrontyr's Curse
• 60 million years ago: flesh-and-blood species with short, radiation-plagued lives
• Begged the Old Ones for immortality — were refused
• Went to war and lost badly against psychic gods
Biotransference — The Greatest Mistake
• The C'tan offered a solution: transfer consciousness into living metal bodies
• Souls were stripped away, memories fragmented, emotions erased
• Became soulless automatons enslaved to the C'tan and the Silent King
The War in Heaven
• Necrons crushed the Old Ones and shattered their empire
• Psychic backlash birthed the Chaos Gods in the Warp
• Necrons turned on the C'tan, shattered them into shards, imprisoned them in tesseract labyrinths
The Great Sleep
• Exhausted and facing the rising Eldar, the Silent King ordered the Great Sleep
• Necrons entered stasis in tomb worlds across the galaxy
• Waited millions of years for the galaxy to forget them
The Awakening — 41st Millennium
• Tomb worlds waking up across the galaxy
• Some awaken perfectly, others damaged and feral
• Necron Warriors phase out when destroyed, reassemble, return to battle
Terrifying Technology
• Gauss flayers strip matter atom by atom
• Tesla carbines arc lightning through squads
• Doomsday cannons crack open Titans
• Necron Monoliths teleport entire armies
• Dolmen Gates allow instant travel without the Warp
• Celestial Orreries destroy stars by extinguishing lights on a map
The Silent King Returns
• Szarekh abdicated after the Great Sleep, exiled himself as penance
• Returned after seeing the Tyranid threat
• If Tyranids devour all biomass, biotransference can never be reversed
• Working to unite fractured Necron dynasties
Feuding Dynasties
• Imotekh the Stormlord: conquers with cold precision
• Trazyn the Infinite: collects artifacts and living beings for his museum
• Not a unified empire — collection of dynasties with their own goals
• But all agree: this galaxy belongs to them
The Bottom Line
The Necrons don't negotiate. They don't conquer. They reclaim. Humanity, the Eldar, the Tau — all squatters on Necron worlds. The Imperium calls them xenos. The Necrons call them temporary.
The Necrons are waking up. And they want their galaxy back.
