Editing Necron Warrior (section)

====Ancient History====
For all these reasons to pity the Warriors, most people fighting them find it hard to feel sympathy for them, because they are so tremendously powerful for basic infantry.

In most respects, they were equals to Space Marines and available in greater numbers - while being substantially cheaper prior to [[6th edition (Warhammer 40,000)|6th edition]]. Their standard weapon, the [[gauss flayer]], is actually better than a [[bolter]], in fact, it competes with the Tau Pulse Rifle for "Best basic infantry weapon in the game", while their "Reanimation Protocols" rule (formerly known as "We'll Be Back!") makes them even tougher, at least until AP4 weapons start bypassing their defenses. However, you could fit them into a Reclamation Legion until 8th Edition and make these necronscrips a pain to get out of the world, just the simple happiness on your opponents face when he kills a single one, should you not remind him about that you should have some T5 out there.

They may be unfairly stripped of their souls and identities because of poor decisions made by their rulers without their consent, but it's hard to feel sorry for them when you kill them and they just get right back up, and it's even harder when you see their [[Flayed_Ones | neighbor]] wearing your buddy's face. In all fairness, Bob's ugly mug has never looked better, and that's saying something.
