Once called '''World Harvesters''' by the [[Eldar]] (and for good reason, because 'abattoir' means 'slaughterhouse')(one must wonder what the [[World Engine]] was actually called), Abattoirs are more building than vehicle, and have been responsible for the destruction of many worlds and civilizations. During ancient times these pyramid-sized constructs were used when slave races could not be transported to the temples of the [[C'tan]] to be sacrificed.

Unlike most Necron units and vehicles, the Abattoir does not have phasing capacities, instead it has to be brought to a world to be deployed on-site. This is generally done by a rapid-deployment ship like the [[Scythe-class Harvest Ship]]. Once on the surface, it walks around, supported by tentacle-like limbs that are deployed from its capacitor sub-pyramids. This makes it look reminiscent to the Flying Spaghetti Monster which would be [[Lulz|hilarious]] if it wasn't for the fact that this thing dwarfs a [[Megalith]].

The Abattoir is the largest known Necron ground vehicle and is of similar displacement to a goddamned [[Warlord Battle Titan|Imperial Warlord Titan in size and tonnage.]] Essentially a large floating city, it has recently been postulated by Imperial theorists that an Abattoir forms the hub of the wheel which is the Necron's teleportation network.

Like most Necron units, the Abattoir makes heavy use of Gauss weaponry, although its armaments are much stronger. An Abbatoir's weapons not only [[Flayed Ones|flay their victims]] where they stand, but also [[Dark Eldar|harvest their pain and fear at the moment of death,]] creating a stored source of sustenance for the captured C'tan to nibble upon like some sort of strange pet. In addition to these weapons, it carries massive swarms of [[Scarab|Scarabs]] inside; normally used for maintenance purposes, they can also be deployed offensively.

There are no actual official Abattoir models, but that doesn't stop some people from making one.
