Description
Necrons need some new units - their current list is frightfully barren, with so much potential.

1. C'tan Cultists/Machine Converts - These guys are essentially Husks from Mass Effect. Living sapients infected through their bionics (and special scarabs), they act as shock-troop cannon-fodder.

2. Sarcophagi - Armoured, semi-floating walkers. Vicious in close combat, capable of being upgraded with Pariah-like abilities. They're thought to be used to harvest living tissue - for what purpose is unknown.

3. Pariah. We know the score on these guys - humans with the Pariah gene, captured and converted into Cyberman-esque cyborgs with an anti-psyker bent. It's believed that Necrons have the ability to extract material for their Pariahs from humans who aren't actively blanks - it just takes a lot more of them to get enough worthy cells.

4. Obelisk. The little brother of the Monolith - capable of everything the big M can, but cheaper, smaller, and less heavily-armed and armoured.

5. A Shade. Essentially a ranged-combat version of the Wraith, equipped with nasty Assault Gauss weaponry.

6. Crypt Spyder variants. From left to right - Constructor Spyder, Stalker Spyder, Guardian Spyder. Scarab-building/Res Orb effect, CC MC nastiness, and ranged combat, respectively.

7. Crypt Wyrm. Used to excavate entire planets, also called Undertaker Wyrms, Metal Maggots, etc. A deep-striking assault unit of Beasts with a wicked cover save as it moves through the ground.

8. Mantleborn. Necrons caught in continental drift, volcanic activity, or who were simply damaged too badly too many times to properly repair - physically deformed and equipped with mental capabilities ranging from mindless to insane. Think the T-X toward the end of T3 - a skeletal form with liquid metal thrashing and dripping around it.

9. AEonic Orb. Essentially a Monolith, exchanging the transport capabilities for a horrifying superweapon.
