Codex: Necrons

Codex: Necrons — Price Summary

Product Description

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. These phalanxes are joined by techno-sorcerous war engines, scuttling constructs, and shards of shattered star gods, led to war by undying nobles with wills and bodies of unyielding metal, driven by the absolute conviction that they are the rightful rulers of the galaxy. Ravaged by their long sleep, many Necrons have been reduced to murderous monsters or delusional demigods. Yet their madness only makes them an even greater and more inescapable threat. Codex: Necrons is an essential guide for anyone who wants to collect Necrons and display the might of their phaeron on the tabletop.
