NECRONS

ARMY RULE
The scattered dynasties of the Necrons pursue many
different paths to dominance, embracing their own
traditions and martial doctrines. All dynasties also benefit
from the nigh-supernatural technologies that once saw
them dominate the galaxy, perhaps the most unsettling
of which are their reanimation protocols. Should a Necron
be slain, its body becomes wreathed in an eerie glow.
Crawling limbs reattach, sundered torsos and smashed
skulls reform and the Necron rises again, shambling back
into battle.

REANIMATION PROTOCOLS
If your Army Faction is Necrons, at the end of your
Command phase, each unit from your army with this
ability activates its Reanimation Protocols and reanimates
D3 wounds. Each time such a unit reanimates a wound:

■ If that unit contains one or more models with fewer

than their starting number of wounds remaining,
select one of those models; that model regains one
lost wound.
■ If all models in that unit have their starting number of
wounds, but that unit is not at its Starting Strength,
one destroyed model is returned to that unit with one
wound remaining.

Once such a unit is at its Starting Strength and all of its

models have their starting number of wounds, nothing
further happens.

Example: A unit of Lokhust Destroyers (which have a

Wounds characteristic of 3) activates its Reanimation
Protocols. The unit had a Starting Strength of 3, but
currently contains 2 models, and one of those models
has lost 1 wound. A 3 is rolled to see how many
wounds are reanimated. The first of these reanimated
wounds restores the wounded Lokhust Destroyer
back to 3 wounds. The second of these reanimated
wounds returns the destroyed Lokhust Destroyer to the
battlefield with 1 wound remaining. The third of these
reanimated wounds restores one of the remaining lost
wounds to the same Lokhust Destroyer that was just
returned. The unit now contains 3 models, two
of which have 3 wounds remaining and one of
which has 2 wounds remaining.

DETACHMENT RULE

Awakened Dynasty Detachment rule.

COMMAND PROTOCOLS
The Necron nobility make war in a codified and relentless
fashion. Their command protocols crackle out across
multi-dimensional spectra from carrier-wave projectors,
compelling their semi-sentient soldiery into battle one
overriding directive at a time.

While a Necrons Character model is leading this unit,

each time a model in this unit makes an attack, add 1 to
the Hit roll.
