Welcome, mortal, to the pages of this most forbidden tome, a blasphemous text that will guide you down the path of collecting, painting and gaming with the Necrons int he Warhammer 40,000 game. The backbone of the Necron army is comprised of metallic, skeletal warriors that never truly die. Even their most basic weaponry can strip a man to his constituent atoms in a second. those with an inkling of the threat posed by the aeons-old Necrons fear them above all, and rightly so, for the true terror of the Necrons lies with their divine masters, whose ultimate goal is to enslave Humanity and gorge themselves on the essence of untold billions.
A quick read that introduces the reader to an older version of the Necrons. Most of the lore and mechanics are out of date but it's certainly an interesting read if you're a big Necron fan!
I actually prefer the Necron fluff in this Codex rather than that of the later codices. The C-tan are still powerful god-like beings and not the overthrown and constrained former masters they are now.
