Soulless skeletal phalanxes forged from the common citizenry of the ancient Necrontyr, marching in eerie silence as their Gauss Flayers strip targets atom by atom.

Lore & origins

Sixty million years ago, when the C'tan deceived the mortal Necrontyr into walking into the biotransference furnaces, only the nobility and royal courts were granted bodies capable of preserving their full intellect and personality. The billions of common citizens—farmers, artisans, conscripts, and children—were poured into rugged, mass-produced necrodermis skeletons stripped of free will. Today, Necron Warriors form the inexhaustible backbone of every awakening Tomb World: marching in lockstep without fear or voice, re-knitting severed limbs in seconds through self-repairing scarab subroutines.
