Editing Necron (section)

==Novels and stories featuring the Necrons==
Here is a list with a small synopsis of publications by [[Black Library]] and GeeDubs which feature them, '''before you start adding, remember, Necrons must not only be mentioned, but actually appear in the story,''' feel free to add new items and follow the alphabetic order:
*'''Ambition Knows No Bounds:''' Rogue Trader trying to plunder a Necron Tomb World.
*'''But Dust in the Wind:''' Imperial Fists vs Necrons, enuff said!
*'''Cain's Last Stand:''' Chronologically the last novel of Commissar [[Ciaphas Cain]], the Necrons appear later in the novel and proceed to ''march of doom'' a chaos fleet.
*'''Caves of Ice:''' Cain and the Valhallan 597th are sent to an ice planet to defend a refinery from an ork horde, but an ugly surprise awaits below the installations.
*'''Cold Steel:''' renegade imperial guard attempts to escape penal moon while there is a three-side war between the 'crons, space marines and khornates, featuring a [[Tesseract Vault]].
*'''Damnos:''' Ultramarines vs Necrons, features some Necrons POV, as well as the Ultramarines commanded by Cato Sicarius, if you don't like the Ultramarines, this may be the novel for you!
*'''Dark Creed:''' Word Bearers vs Astartes Praeses, the Necrons come in the later part of the novel, a great portrayal of how they are actually totally scary and overpowered.
*'''Dead Men Walking:''' Death-korps of Krieg vs Necrons, the novel has an extremely grim tone as it puts a lot of focus on the civilians caught in the campaign, and shows a lot of Krieg jerkassery, don't get too attached to any of the main characters and no Krieg-chan for you!
*'''Echoes of the Tomb''': One of the earliest novels of Ciaphas Cain, and the origin of his fear of the Necrons.
*'''Fabius Bile- Clone Lord:''' Sequel to the first novel focusing on everyone's favorite clone fetishist [[Fabius Bile]], this one has him continuing his search for a way to cure himself. Specifically involving him going to a forgotten planet in the eastern fringe called [[Trazyn the Infinite|Solemence]]...
*'''Flayed:''' [[Death Spectres]] evacuate civilians from a world that gets attacked by Flayed Ones every few years. Not what you expect going in.
*'''Hammer & Anvil:''' Sisters of Battle get slaughtered by the necrons and... wait! Are they fighting back? And they are actually competent? quite a nice read and gives the Sisters a lot of street cred back.
*'''Hellforged:''' 5th novel in the Soul Drinkers series by Ben Counter, a very good take on OldCrons that makes them genuinely terrifying, also includes awesome Mechanicus and Space Marines action.
*'''Imperial Armour Volume Twelve - The Fall of Orpheus:''' a Forgeworld book about the totally badass and horrifying [[Maynarkh Dynasty]] vs the Minotaurs and the Death-Korps of Krieg, overall an extremely cool, if expensive, book.
*'''Indomitus:''' Tie-in novel for the 9th Edition box set. 10 years into the Indomitus Crusade the Ultramarines of Crusade Fleet Quintus stumble across a Necron plot to expand the Pariah Nexus. Has Ultramarine and Necron PoV chapters.
*'''Infinite Circuit:''' A small story about a Cult Mechanicus procession getting their hands on a C'tan shard and the Deathwatch paying a visit to see what's going on.
*'''The Infinite and the Divine:''' Full-length Necron POV novel starring Trazyn and Orikan as they feud down millennia over possession of a mysterious Necrontyr artifact. Goes in a lot of directions, all of them fun, often very funny (come on, it's Trazyn so hilarity is a must). This one was very well received by the community, and for good reason, it's not just a well written novel, it brings everything non-grimderp we love and want from 40k while still being true to the bleakness of our favourite setting. If you could only get one title from this list- it's gonna be this one, [[Awesome|the novel sums up most if not all things /tg/ cheer about the new-crons]].
*'''The Twice-dead King: Ruin:''' Focuses on a "young" and arrogant exiled Necron prince named Oltyx, whose dynasty is in the path of an apocalyptic tide. This one is more grim than infinite and the divine with the Flayer virus being a big focus and how terrifying it is even to Necrons (also some glimpses at Necrontyr culture pre bio transference) and heavy psychological themes.
*'''The Twice-dead King: Reign:''' Immediate sequel and conclusion to the previous book. Having inherited the dynasty at the moment of its destruction, Oltyx flees with what survivors he can gather, with the enemy in hot pursuit. Features weird Necron superscience, more Flayed Ones than you can shake a stick at, and a twist ending that’s as heavily foreshadowed as it is bewildering.
*'''Nightbringer:''' Ultramarines vs Dark Eldar and Human traitors rushing to get to the crypt of the [[Nightbringer]], or perhaps it's just a shard. And let's be honest, it being a shard makes anyone in that room surviving a possibility.
*'''Rise of the Ynnari - Wild Rider:''' Primarily focusing on the Ynnari and the clans of [[Saim-Hann]], a scouting party comprised of the two factions accidentally awakens a dormant Necron Tomb World upon the maiden world of Agrimathea while searching for ancient Aeldari artifacts. Notably, the tomb complex is ruled by Phaerakh Hazepkhut; also known as the Watcher in the Dark. Having at least a passing interest in eldar lore is advised, as the Necrons do take a backseat to them in this novel.
*'''Severed''' Fantastic novella. Takes Vargard Obyron's point of view as he and Zahndrekh get up to some funs. One of the few books that balances how badass the Necrons can be with the bitter tragedy of the faction, and does it with dark humor. Well-written, consequential, and ends with one of the most awesome sequences in any 40k book. Will probably single handily start an entire genre of slash fics featuring Zahndrekh and Obyron.
*'''Shield of Baal: Devourer:''' Necrons POV! Featuring Anrakyr the Traveler trying to seize a tomb-world and some Necron dynasty nobles trying to flee a Flayed-Ones overran crypt-complex, also, Blood Angels and Tyranids.
*'''Shield of Baal: Exterminatus:''' campaign book featuring Anrakyr and the Mephrit Dynasty, teaming up with the Imperium to contain Hivefleet Leviathan, minimun oldcrons, maximun newcrons acting like Tomb Kings in space.
*'''Spear of Macragge:''' Ultramarines tanks vs Necrons, as well as some Ultramarines internal politicking.
*'''The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia:''' Trazyn decides to play the hero and help the imperials fend off Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade assault on Cadia.
*'''The Lords of Borsis:''' The preview for the World-Engine novel, featuring a Necron coup d'etat.
*'''The Word of the Silent King:''' The Silent King himself dealing with the Blood Angels, it seems the old Necron monarch has been acquaintances with Sanguinius himself.
*'''The World Engine:''' also known as <s>one of</s> the coolest Space Marines novel ever, it narrates the fight between the Astral Knights and the Necron dynasty from Borsis, if you liked the entry in the Codex, go for it!
*'''The Infinite Tableau:''' A trio of Deathwatch lead a team of Inquisitorial troopers to an ice-bound moon in search of missing Adeptus Mechanicus explorators. Following their trail into ancient caverns, the Deathwatch find a bunch of necrons waiting to kill them all!
*'''War in the Museum:''' Short story, Trazyn shows the problems of having living creatures as part of lifesized dioramas
*'''Warhammer Adventures: Attack of the Necron:''' Small children without guns versus the Necrons. We all know how this is going to [[rape|end.]]
