Description
The Necrons have come a long way from their spooky beginnings in Warhammer 40,000. Once a terrifying force of silent, unknowable machines, they have evolved into one of the most fascinating factions in the galaxy - filled with ancient dynasties, tragic history, and unimaginable power.
In this video, we look into the evolution of the Necrons throughout Warhammer 40K, from their earliest points in the game to the terrifying immortal empire they have become today. We’ll tell you how their lore changed, why they became one of the most iconic factions in the setting, and what makes them such a unique part of the 41st Millennium.
Whether you’re a longtime Necron player or just discovering the galaxy’s oldest warriors, join us as we dive into the history, transformation, and legacy of the Necrons!
