== Necron Titans == [[File:Tomb Stalker.jpg.jpg|800px|right|thumb|Only in 40k do centipedes eat Rhinos.]] While no record of Titan-scale war machines exist in Imperial Archives, it should be duly noted that it is well within the reach of [[Necron]] technology to create them, and they most likely do exist. The only other race with knowledge on this matter would be the [[Eldar]], who we are sure have already purged the memories of such constructs from their minds to rid themselves of the PTSD. While many fans speculate over what a Necron Titan would look like, most agree it would be a Necron version of the Iron Giant; i.e. an up-sized, unkillable Necron Lord with guns aplenty. A machine suspected to be the Necron Titan looked like a worm. (Well, what would you expect from race that most time spends under the surface?) They are called [[Tomb Stalker]]s, and are strange beasties that walk and talk like monstrous creatures, but supposedly can take down Warhounds. This doesn't make them Titan-class vehicles in the strictest sense, but it's certainly up there in terms of vehicular homicide (ba-dum-tssh). There are also the [[Γonic Orb]]s and the [[Tesseract Vault]]s. They're not titans per se, but they are REALLY HUGE battle vehicles. Something that could perhaps be a true "Necron Titan" (or at least the closest that have been seen to have so far, it's more the size of a [[Wraithknight]] really) appeared in the old [[Necromunda]] comic ''Kal Jerico: Above & Beyond''. It begins with Kal's mother [[Jena Orechiel]] basically abducting him from Necromunda's underhive and whisking him away from his life of gun-slinging bounty-hunter shenanigans. She took him on a mission to the [[Space Hulk]] Kronos which had recently re-emerged from the Warp and where there supposedly rested a powerful alien weapon she wanted destroyed which, after a [[Grimdark|fun]] journey through the Space Hulk, turned out to be a giant Necron called The Setekh. Obviously the thing wakes up cranky and starts killing the shit out of Orechiel's retinue as well as the numerous [[Deathwatch]] Space Marines some asshole rival Inquisitor named Malva brought with him while taking zero damage from their attempts to fight back (at this point Orechiel comments that defeating it wouldn't be possible even with an entire Space Marine chapter behind them). The only ones to barely escape the hulk alive were Kal, his half-sister and his mother (oh, and her pet Kroot) who commandeered the Deathwatch ship and ordered it to perform [[Exterminatus]] on the Space Hulk which was heavily damaged by the ensuing barrage of cyclonic torpedoes and thrown back into the Warp. It's important to note this was before the changes to the Necron fluff so it's likely it [[Retcon|never even happened]]. A shame because fielding this thing in one's Necron army would probably be hilarious. Another possibility of a Necron Titan happened during the Medusa V campaign where the Necrons tried to awaken a huge Tomb Spyder like construction called a [[Crypt Stalker]]. Unfortunately it got its ass handed to it by a bunch of Chaos Titans. However, since this was from a time where the Necrons were actually cool silent Terminator-death-machines and the C'tan weren't reduced to overgrown Pokemon, it has likely been shelved alongside the Setekh. The [[Skorpekh Lord]], while appearing colossal at first glance, is likely the size of an Imperial Knight Armiger ''at most''. Whether this means its 100% not a Titan [[skub|is up for debate]], though. The [[Seraptek Heavy Construct]] is the closest thing that the Necrons have got to a proper titan, though is closer to a knight in size. However, with the Necrons waking up more than ever before, there may yet be some crazy shit they've got in store for the galaxy.
