The Necron dynasties benefit from the nigh-on supernatural technologies that once saw them dominate the galaxy, perhaps the most unsettling of which are their reanimation protocols. Should a Necron be slain, its body becomes wreathed in an eerie glow. Crawling limbs reattach. Sundered torsos and smashed skulls reform amidst emerald sparks. Witch lights flare back to life within dead eye-lenses and the Necron rises again, shambling back into their battle line. Those Necrons too catastrophically damaged to reform vanish instead, teleported away to their tombs for repair.

• When a unit’s Reanimation Protocols activate, that unit heals D3 wounds.

Countless worlds across the galaxy harbour quiescent Necron technology, buried beneath the surface or mistaken for mere xenoarchaeological ruins. Whether part of an awakening tomb world’s defences, phased beneath the crust of a planet to empower the Cryptek’s conquest or perhaps the very objects they seek, these strange engines can be roused to wakefulness. Linked in an interdimensional matrix, their ancient energy cores can be vampirically bled to empower the Crypteks’ arcane technologies as well as their artificial and servile constructs.

• Your deployment zone is always within your army’s Power Matrix.
• At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within No Man’s Land, until the end of that phase, No Man’s Land is within your army’s Power Matrix.
• At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within your opponent’s deployment zone, until the end of that phase, your opponent’s deployment zone is within your army’s Power Matrix.

Employing fractal corridors, dolmen gates and ancient translocation science, the Necrons are able to phase in and out of existence. Nowhere is safe for the terrified foe as mechanoid hunters appear from unfolding planar lattices to slaughter or escape retribution into gulfs of darkness, only to materialise elsewhere to kill anew.

• If the target unit is an attached unit, use the highest T characteristic amongst bodyguard models in that unit that are on the battlefield.
• Use the highest T characteristic amongst models in that unit that are on the battlefield.

• That model has the INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM keyword and is within a terrain area.
• That model is not fully visible to the attacking model due to one or more intervening terrain features and/or one or more intervening obscuring terrain areas (see below).

• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to a unit or model you must end that model’s move in base contact with that unit or model if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If a model is already as close as possible to a unit or model when it is instructed to make a move as close as possible towards a unit or model, that model cannot be moved, but still counts as having made the move in question.
• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to an objective you must end that model’s move within range of an objective if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If that model is already within range of an objective it can move up to the maximum distance of that move but must end its move still within range of that objective.

• If that roll succeeds, that unit does not become battle-shocked.
• If that roll fails, that unit, and each model in it, is battle-shocked.

• The Objective Control (OC) characteristic of all of its models is modified to ‘-’ (02.02).
• Its controlling player cannot target that unit with stratagems (15).
• It is not eligible to start an action (16), and any action it has started cannot be completed.

1. Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
   
   

   If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit.



2. Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.

1. Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
   
   • One group for each CHARACTER model.
   • One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
2. Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
   
   • If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
   • No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
   • CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
3. Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.

Whether building on one anothers’ shared results or vying to produce the most ingenious adaptations, the Crypteks treat the battlefield as an opportunity to test their latest scientific and technological breakthroughs.

• Ranged weapons equipped by CRYPTEK models from your army have the [ASSAULT] ability.
• In your Shooting phase, each time a CRYPTEK unit from your army is selected to shoot, select one of the following abilities: [ANTI-INFANTRY 3+], [ANTI-MOUNTED 4+], [ASSAULT], [HEAVY], [IGNORES COVER]. Until the end of the phase, ranged weapons equipped by models in that unit have that ability.

The quantum dissonance and molecular erosion caused by multiple C’tan shards in close proximity is enough to fray the very physical being of the foe at an atomic level.

Dispatched to acquire eldritch artefacts in the deadliest of confines, Crypteks augment their immortal retinues with their arcane technical knowledge and devices, ensuring they are sufficient to dominate the vessels and complexes they invade.

• Hyperlocation Stutter (Aura): While a friendly NECRONS unit is within 6" of this model, add 2 to Advance rolls made for that unit.
• Transharmonic Disruption (Aura): While a friendly NECRONS unit is within 6" of this model, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of weapons equipped by models in that unit.
• Quantum Interface (Aura): While a friendly NECRONS unit is within 6" of this model, models in that unit have a 5+ invulnerable save.

The Necrons possess countless terrifying engines of war. When mustered in great number, these instruments of annihilation sweep across the battlefield, seeking to reclaim lost realms and obliterate any foolish enough to trespass upon the territories of their ancient dynasty.

The fury of the Destroyers and – by extension – of the cursed legion is not a wild or reckless thing. It is rather a ruthlessly methodical annihilation of the enemy, in which the Destroyers take the lead while ripples of their strange madness roll out to infect nearby Necrons and goad them, too, to greater efforts of tireless murder.

• Add 2 to the Strength characteristic of weapons equipped by DESTROYER CULT models from your army.
• The first time each turn that a DESTROYER CULT unit from your army makes attacks that destroy a unit or cause it to become Below Half-strength, after that unit has finished resolving its attacks, until the end of the turn, add 2 to the Strength characteristic of weapons equipped by friendly NECRONS models (excluding DESTROYER CULT, MONSTER and TITANIC models).

The Necron commander seeks to regain lost ground from their upstart foe. Those who seek to prevent the dynasty from reclaiming that which is rightfully theirs are marked for immediate termination.

Those Canoptek constructs and Necron Warriors that serve the Crypteks are inloaded with instructions to defend their master. Should a Crypteks physical form be destroyed, a vengeful wrath will awaken within their followers.
