The Necrons are an ancient race of skeleton-like androids. Millions of years ago, they were flesh-and-blood beings, but then they transferred their minds into android bodies, thereby achieving immortality.<ref name = factionfocus>{{cite web|date=2020-07-22|title=Warhammer 40,000 Faction Focus—Necrons |url=https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40000-faction-focus-history-story-necrons/|access-date=2021-02-24|website=TheGamer|language=en-US|archive-date=2022-02-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220221112010/https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40000-faction-focus-history-story-necrons/|url-status=live}}</ref> However, the transference process was flawed, as they all lost their souls and all but the highest-ranking ones became mindless as well. They are waking up from millions of years of hibernation in underground vaults on planets across the galaxy and seek to rebuild their old empire. Besides the [[Terminator (franchise)|cyborgs from the Terminator franchise]], Necron designs evoke ancient Egypt in their aesthetics, although they are not based on the Tomb Kings of ''Warhammer Fantasy''.

Necron infantry have strong ranged firepower, tough armour, and slow movement. Necron units can rapidly regenerate wounds or "reanimate" killed models at the start of the player's turn.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Harrison |first1=Adam |title=Warhammer 40k: 10th Ed Necron Rules - Reanimated For The New Edition |url=https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2023/05/warhammer-40k-10th-ed-necron-rules-reanimated-for-the-new-edition.html |website=Bell of Lost Souls |date=5 May 2023 |access-date=7 February 2025}}</ref> All Necron models have a Leadership score of 10 (the maximum possible), so Necrons rarely suffer from morale failure. Necrons do not have any psykers, but they possess units called "C'tan shards" which are psyker-like.
