Necrons faction overview
The Necrons are an ancient, undying robotic civilisation slowly awakening across the galaxy. Their range spans mass-produced Warriors and Immortals to elite Lychguard, swift Wraiths, monolithic Doomsday Arks and the Silent King himself — one of 40K's most visually consistent and resilient armies.
Buying advice for second-hand collectors
Necron plastics are durable and largely current-edition compatible. Watch for OOP metal Pylons, original Monoliths and resin Tomb Stalkers, which command premium prices. Combat Patrol: Necrons (Plasmancer + Skorpekh + Warriors) is the best per-point second-hand starter.
Collecting & army-building advice
Necron schemes reward metallics — leadbelcher drybrush over black primer, gold trim, then green or blue rod weapon glows. Many collectors freehand dynastic patterns on cloaks and shoulder shields. Build 2,000 points around 40 Warriors, a Reanimator, two Doomsday Arks and the Silent King for a solid Awakened Dynasty force.

Frequently asked questions
- Are old Necron Warriors still playable?
- Yes — both the original chunky-sculpt and current slim-build plastic Warriors share the same warscroll. The current sculpts are easier to assemble and pose.
- Is Necron reanimation as strong as it used to be?
- Reanimation Protocols return a flat number of wounds per turn under the current codex, making large infantry blocks (Warriors, Lychguard) very durable.
- What's the best Necron centrepiece purchase?
- The Silent King is the obvious flagship; Tesseract Vaults and Tomb Sentinels are excellent alternatives that often appear on the second-hand market at deep discounts when their owners switch dynasties.
