Necron Scarabs

Necron Scarabs are beetle like robots about 30cm long able of limited flight and able to disassemble and reassemble matter at a molecular level. Scarabs have a variety of functions, ranging from maintenance of Necron bases and machinery to combat. While an individual scarab can be put down with a good lasgun shot they generally travel in groups and a swarm of Scarabs can eat a Leman Russ Battle Tank and it's crew and crap out a pile of slightly damp metallic dust with some carbon and calcium impurities in seconds. Give them some more time and they can also crap out the tank's mass in new scarabs. Scarabs are not sapient, they are generally slaved to either Necron overseers or Spyders. If neither is present, Scarabs tend to become mindless von Neumann Machines eating everything and making more Scarabs from it until you got a planet who's entire surface is covered with the little bastards.
