After 60 millions years of slumber the protocols of blood and ritual remain.

Thematically the Novokh Dynasty is all about going into melee, using the blood of your enemies to paint your legions red. They have a particular distaste for the Ork menace, they will occassionally show mercy when their ancient protocols demand they do so, but when battle is entered they are as bloodthirsty as any mortal or daemon.

In terms of crunch Novokh is the only real Melee Dynasty, with a fantastic, but very limited, Dynastic Code, a good Warlord Trait provided you build your army around it and a Stratagem you wouldn't want to leave home without if you are bringing melee units such as Lychguard or Flayed Ones.<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Dynastic Code: Awakened by Murder:''' When a unit charges, is charged, or makes a Heroic Intervention, it can reroll every failed hit roll.
**All melee Necrons will benefit a lot from this one, but WS4+ (Scarabs!) benefits more than WS3+. Lychguard, Wraiths, Scarabs (hah), and especially Flayed Ones (who then re-roll hits ''and'' wounds). Also makes your vehicles more likely to hit (WS6+ gets the most benefit from this of all); Novokh is less about drive by shooting and instead goes for the ramming approach.
*'''Warlord Trait: Crimson Haze:''' Units within 6" of the Warlord generate extra attacks on 6s to hit in the Fight phase. This is potent for a close combat army, Flayed ones, Lychguards and Wraiths can all benefit greatly from this. Works on a character who wants to be in combat, Destroyer Lord, CCB or any character that also has the Veil of Darknesss.
*'''Stratagem: Blood Rites (3 CP):''' At the end of the Fight phase, select a {{W40kKeyword|NOVOKH}} unit. It can fight a second time. This Stratagem is insane for large units of Lychguard or Flayed Ones, meh on Anrakyr and Anrakyr-buffed Warriors and not worth it otherwise.
*'''Relic: The Blood Scythe:''' Replaces War/Void Scythe (so a warscythe, since there's no reason to pay extra points for it). A warscythe with d3 more attacks. This is on the low end of relics. Sure, Overlords want more attacks, and if you have nothing better to put on them this is at least a slight upgrade, but you should usually be reaching for the Voidreaper instead.</div></div>
