About Necrons
Ancient dynasties waking to reclaim the stars.
Necrons are undying machine-legions of ancient dynasties. Warriors, Canoptek constructs, and Overlords define a range that stayed popular after Indomitus-era releases.
Combat Patrol and Warrior boxes are reliable. Character and vehicle kits spike. Magazine partworks sometimes pollute search results.
