Editing Warhammer 40,000 8th edition (section)

====[[Necrons]]====
*General overview of the Necron military hierarchy. 
*The creation of the Great Rift has triggered the awakening of numerous Tomb Worlds due to anti-Warp protocols. Furthermore, the ancient faction of Cryptek weaponsmiths known as the Technomandrites of Magistrakh has re-emerged, long after its supposed defeat by the Silent King in the early days of the War in Heaven.
*The Necrons are striking at the Forge Worlds throughout the galaxy, largely to gain access to the Blackstone on them. As it turns out most Forge Worlds and many Knight Worlds are also built on Tomb Worlds, and so have large supplies of Blackstone left behind by the Necrons. Naturally, the re-awakened Necrons on said planets have demonstrated their objections to the current inhabitants in exactly the manner you might expect. 
*The Triarch Praetorians have renewed their old vows to the Silent King after learning of his return, swearing to unify the old Necron Empire lest the Tyranids consume it.
*[[Orikan the Diviner]]'s ultimate goal is clarified; when the stars are right, his physical form will become the vessel for celestial power unmatched throughout the galaxy, and the thousands of temporal traps he has seeded throughout the galaxy will grant him total control over the passage of time. Incidentally, he predicted the Great Rift too. Why do we get the feeling this won't work out the way he expects it to?
* When the Necrons turned on the Deceiver, none of the other C'tan came to its aid as they had grown wise to its schemes. The shards of the Deceiver have since fallen prey to their own lies, convincing themselves that it is they who are in control over the Necrons even when they are really slaves. 
*Leading into 9th Edition, Szarekh has formed a plan to set up specialized pylon arrays that completely sever parts of realspace from the Warp. Living beings within affected regions are afflicted with growing despair and apathy until they are rendered virtually mindless...which also makes them ideal candidates for experiments on reversing the biotransference process. 
=====Sautekh=====
*[[Imotekh the Stormlord|Imotekh's]] territory has expanded greatly, as many of the [[Tomb World|Tomb Worlds]] awakened by the Great Rift's creation are invaded by the [[Sautekh Dynasty]] and forced into his empire. Odds are the Tau are about to learn just how good they had it when they just had to contend with the Imperium, Tyranids, and Orks.
*Following the above, Imotekh's forces have been battling Chaos extensively in the hopes of putting the dynasties yet to awaken in the Sautekh Dynasty's debt.
*Imotekh is still very pissed off about the Damnos war, and has sworn that he will have the Ultramarines destroyed, Macragge burned, and its leaders dragged before him in chains so they may know the price of defying him.
=====Nephrekh=====
*The Nephrekh Dynasty's attempts at improving their translocation beams to pierce the Great Rift have been hampered by the Thousand Sons, who want the technology for themselves. 
*The shining golden color of the Necrons of the Nephrekh Dynasty is due to the presence of "metagold", an exotic material that allows its bearer to briefly transform into a being of pure light.
=====Nihilakh=====
*The Nihilakh Dynasty has been increasingly prone to sending its legions outside its territory, and there are reports that their billions of slaves are being tasked with building strange geometric monuments.
*[[Trazyn the Infinite]] is losing patience with the current spate of wars destroying relics before he can "rescue" them. In the name of keeping the history of the galaxy preserved, he has commanded his legions to start occupying nearby worlds so he can catalog them without interruption.

=====Mephrit=====
*The Mephrit Dynasty is currently at war with Craftworlds Alaitoc and Saim-Hann after they launched several attacks on Exodite worlds. 
=====Novokh=====
*The Novokh Dynasty is at home in the incessant conflict that engulfs the Imperium Nihilus, as it provides a fine opportunity to indulge in their hunger for battle.
