The Necrons were introduced, as mentioned before, in Space Crusade as a type of enemy to fight in the form of "Chaos Androids". Really, the only thing to describe about them here is that they're pretty derpy. Oh, and 2E had a model used for [[Assholetep]].

A long time ago (even before the [[Eldar]]) the Necrontyr [[Grimdark|lived on a planet blasted by radiation from their sun. Their short lives were filled from beginning to end with cancer]], [[AIDS]], and [[Grimdark|pain]]. The only reason the Necrontyr formed an empire beyond their planet at all was because they put their people in stasis pods and made extremely long journeys across interstellar distances. But the damage their sun did to their genes was permanent, so they still had short, cancer-prone lives.

While all this sun-rape was going on a race of psychically-attuned space precursors called the [[Old_Ones_(Warhammer)|Old Ones]] had already built a vast civilization throughout the galaxy. They created many races or augmented many existing ones (leaving [[human|humanity]] alone) and generally showed off. Oh yeah, and they are speculated to have been immortal [[lizardmen|lizards]] (Or the Eldar gods. It's quite confusing in all honesty).

[[Grimdark|The Necrontyr met the Old Ones and quickly grew to resent their neighbors, loathing how long their lifespans were by comparison. Resentment grew into bitter jealousy and finally all-consuming hatred after the Old Ones refused to help. The Old Ones were indeed much stronger and repelled Necrontyr assault after assault until the race was clinging to the edge of the galaxy and their lives]].

The Necrontyr finally encountered a space-borne anomaly- [[TTS|some celestial fart gas]] that did nothing but eat stars. Eventually, for some reason, the Necrontyr crafted shells of living metal for them. They were then known as the C'tan , literally “star god” in the Necrontyr tongue. The Star Gods were beings with almost absolute power over the corporeal world, while the Warp, which the Old Ones used extensively, was anathema to them, and they sought nothing less than the total separation of the real world from the Maelstrom.

The Necrontyr bargained with the C'tan known as the Deceiver (but only the other C'tan called it that) for eternal life. [[Just As Planned|The Necrontyr knew him as Mephet'ran ("The Messenger")]] because no one in their right mind would actually trust a guy named the Deceiver. The Deceiver promised the living Necrontyr race immortality and fun times if they would sacrifice their bodies to the gods to be replaced with metallic goodness, made from a very durable and self-repairing material called [[Necrodermis]]. Some of the Necrontyr agreed to the Deceiver's terms, but most of them doubted it was a good idea. Using its talent for trickery, [[Grimdark|the Deceiver lured the doubters into the clutches of its followers and forced them to become Necrons before roboticizing its followers]]. The race had their souls ripped out of their collective urethrae, replacing the Necrontyr with the skeletal bodies of the Necrons.

War breaks out between the Necrons and the Old Ones, this war being named [[War in Heaven|the War in Heaven]] since all of the awesome shit that went down was akin to the gods themselves fighting. The Old Ones get their asses soundly beat over and over again and created new races (lol, [[Ork|Krork]]) to defend themselves with. Oh, and by using the Warp as a weapon they turned it into the [[warp|fun place we all know and love]] (which essentially means that the Old Ones are responsible for all the Chaos-infested shit that goes down these days). At this point, the old Necron fluff and new stuff begins to diverge a bit. Old fluff says the [[Eldar]] were created by the old Ones directly but new fluff simply says that the Eldar and Old Ones were allies in the war against the Necrons. It doesn't specifically say the Eldar were created by the Old Ones although the new background is worded in such a way as to make both interpretations plausible. However, being allies doesn’t mean the Eldar weren’t created or modified by them. In Eldar culture, there's another great conflict also known as the [[War in Heaven]]. This is primarily where the theory that the Old Ones and the Eldar Pantheon are potentially the same thing comes from (if true, that means some Old Ones are still alive, namely [[Isha]], [[Cegorach]], and [[Khaine]], though Khaine is split into a bajillion pieces so truly ''alive'' is debatable for him). But the most likely explanation for this is that GeeDubs' writers never talk to each other about the intricacies of this stuff and ended up giving two different conflicts the same damn name. However, the Eldar ''were'' present in both wars, so... eh?

Anyway, after the Old Ones' strategy of cranking out race after race to be used as cannon fodder backfires when an Enslaver Plague rolls around, the C'tan go on a feast of galactic proportions. During this time they even start killing and eating each other until there are only four left (The Void Dragon, The Outsider, The Nightbringer and The Deceiver). It's as this point that they realize that their excessive OMNOMNOM habits are causing their own food (essentially EVERYTHING) to die out. So, they and their Necron slaves decide to go to sleep for 60 million years 'till the scrumptious morsels known as EVERYTHING regrow.

In present time, the Necrons spend most of their time killing anything with a pulse and generally hating anything living, including bacteria. Their main objective was to use their advanced technology to close or seal off the Eye of Terror, drive back the 'Nids to turn the galaxy into paradise for the C'tan.

In essence, OldCron fluff basically makes them "Evil Order", as opposed to "Evil Chaos" (redundant in this universe), or "Metal Tyranids" because of the emotionless mass of silver that represents their armies (with guys like [[Dawn of War|Thomas Macabee]] being more of an exception than a rule).
