The Necrons are an undying race of xenos androids who, in a long-forgotten age, were the rulers of the galaxy. Now, after millennia of stasis, they rise again, conquering once more. Wielding self-repairing bodies of living metal, the Necrons bear weapons that harness the most destructive energies of the cosmos, and they are a terrible foe. They are fearless, implacable, and utterly merciless as they advance in dense ranks, unleashing devastating firestorms that wipe out even the most powerful foes. The incredibly resilient Necron warriors are supported by murderous, specialised units, techno-magical war machines, mindless Canoptek constructs, and shards of their shattered star-gods. They are led into war by immortal nobles, who wield weapons of annihilating power and are driven by the unwavering belief that they are the rightful rulers of the stars. And if the long slumber has reduced many Necrons to mindless monsters or corrupted their minds, turning them into murderous demigods? This madness only makes them a greater and more terrifying threat.
Codex: Necrons is your essential guide to one of the most formidable threats of the 41st Millennium – an ancient alliance of ancient androids who long ago traded their essence for greater power.
