Ghost Arks are often pressed into service as conventional transport vehicles, conveying reinforcements to some vital area of the battlefield, or allowing Necron forces to attack from an unexpected quarter.

Orikan is a master astromancer, a Necron Cryptek who uses his knowledge of astral conjunctions to predict the tides of battle and empower himself with cosmic energies. He supplements these skills with chronomantic abilities that allow him to see events before they happen and alter the patterns of the past, helping him evade harm and aim his blows to devastating effect. Through careful study and scrutiny, the Diviner has meddled in monumental events and insignificant occurences throughout history, guiding the Necrons toward a future of his choosing.

Starsteles were placed upon worlds as territorial markers and silent guardians by jealous Necron nobles. Over the millennia they have become forgotten archaeological curios or feared sources of superstitious rumour about vanishments and strange lights.

Shards of the Void Dragon fill the air around them with a searing scream of distorted static.

Overlords lead the Necron dynasties into battle. Their android minds are tremendously swift, their bodies are implacably resilient, but their indomitable wills are perhaps most fearsome of all. Furnished with a translocation shroud drawn from the dynastic vaults, an Overlord can phase through nether-dimensions, passing through rigid defences and even the flesh of mortal guardians to reach whatever prey or prize they demand.

The Necrons are a deathless species of The Necrons are a deathless species of alien androids who dominated the galaxy in ages past. After millions of years in self-imposed slumber, they are rising from their hidden tomb complexes to march in conquest once more. Clad in self-repairing bodies of living metal, armed with weapons that harness the devastating energies of the cosmos, the Necrons are a terrifying enemy. They are without fear or mercy, soulless mechanoids who advance in eerie lockstep to lay down an annihilating storm.

As the Necrons stir ever more into wakefulness, the Triarch Praetorians have re-emerged to join the dynastic legions. Triarch Praetorians hold a great responsibility - to ensure that the Necron dynasties never fall.

Many Necron invasions begin with Night Scythes flitting through a world’s void defences.

The Tomb Blade has a curious motion for a craft of its design, eschewing the arrow-straight attack vectors of other jetbikes and fighter craft. It often corkscrews across the battlefield rather than taking a more direction approach.

Striding forward in a rush of ungainly steps, their weaponised limbs sweeping in a whirlwind of gore, Skorpekh Destroyers feed their need to kill whenever they are unleashed upon the battlefield. Nothing else can override the hard-wired desire to kill that empowers these deranged Necrons.

The Necrons rise across the galaxy, android legions emerging from stasis-crypts after millions of years in deathless slumber. Amonhotekh's Guard stalk the worlds that once belonged to their master, the Overlord Amonhotekh, to cleanse the flesh-vermin and lesser civilisations that now infest his ancient territories. He will stop at nothing to eradicate these pests, calling upon mighty Canoptek constructs, mindless warrior phalanxes, and even the raving Destroyer Cults to eliminate all trespassers.

Like an enormous mechanical spider, a Triarch Stalker looms over the battlefield with its multiple slicing limbs and devastating weaponry controlled by a high-ranking Triarch Praetorian.

Lokhust Heavy Destroyers skim to battle upon repulsor-sled bodies, their upper limbs bound into gauss destructors or enmitic exterminators with which they decimate their foes with devastating blasts from afar.

Imotekh is a sublimely skilled Necron strategist, wielding his armies with hyperlogical skill and deadly strategic insight. In battle, the Stormlord incinerates enemies with his Gauntlet of Fire, blasts them with pan-dimensional energies from the Staff of the Destroyer, and humbles them in punishing one-on-one duels. As phaeron of the Sautekh Dynasty, with over eighty tomb worlds under his command, Imotekh marches to expand his deathless empire.

Necron Warriors form the majority of a tomb world's nigh-inexhaustible armies. They are a corps of fleshless mechanoids, ranged in their millions against the vital races of the galaxy.

Unlike their Necron masters, Canoptek Spyders never sleep, but while away the aeons servicing the structures of their Tomb World. Though the Canoptek Spyder is essentially an automated drone, it is still a formidable foe when the situation demands.
