On this page, Necrons are given a distinct feel, more fitting to their fluff and C´tan are made into cool viable options.
For reasons of different choices, and Q&A + suggestions; check the discussion page.
The aim of this codex is to allow you to field the armies and combos made possible in the new book, while also re-introducing the ones from the old book. The most important aim of the book is to better catch the feel of the fluff.
This is a work in progress, currently in beta, meaning the codex is currently in the playtesting phase, some units namely special characters and lords of war are still in progress. Please post ideas and opinions in the talk page. Expected final version, meaning all units will have been tested and received fair points values around July/August. Help with wording and grammar is greatly appreciated.
Whenever a Necron model with this rule is removed from the table, put a marker next to its unit, laying the model down beside it´s unit works nicely. At the start of each of your turns, go through your units one at a time, roll 1d6 per reanimation counter the unit has, for each 5+ rolled restore one of the models to life with one wound remaining. Place the resurrected model within 2" of a model, which was already there before the start of your turn. Finally remove all models that were not restored to life. When the last model with Reanimation Protocols from a unit is removed or a unit loses Reanimation Protocols, remove all Reanimation counters.
Godless:
A model with this rule automatically fails cover saves.
Warlord traits
1 - Insanity:
The Overlord and any unit he joins gains the rage special rule. If the Overlord wins a challenge you gain 1 victory point.
2 - Tomb Defender:
The Overlords unit reroll failed we´ll be back rolls, while one or more members of his unit are within 3” of a tactical objective.
3 - Counter-reserves:
Once per turn when your opponent would bring a unit on from reserves you can roll a d6, on a 3+, that unit stays in reserves and instead you must immediately bring on a unit of your own. If you do not have a unit in reserves this rule cannot be used.
4 - Great reclaimer:
All members of the Overlords unit treat all enemy units within 3” of an objective as preferred enemies.
5 - Lord of technology:
Once per turn, during your shooting phase, you can choose one vehicle within 12”, for the rest of the turn, all of that vehicles ranged weapons double their normal range.
6 - Domination Protocols:
At the start of the game, before adding tactical objectives, add the domination tactical objective from your tactical objective deck to your active tactical objectives. This does not count towards the number of Active Tactical Objectives you currently have in play. You cannot draw the domination objective again as it is permanently added. If you are playing a game without tactical objectives: Your warlord and his unit gains pinning on all their shooting weapons.
Detachments and formations
This fandex was not made with detachments in mind, if you are finding this dex to be too weak you could try experimenting with formations/detachments from the official codex or from forgeworld.

Instead of attacking normally, he inflicts D3 hits on his own unit when it is his turn to attack. Unless there are no other models in his unit he will not hit himself. If the target is in a challenge the target must hit itself. These hits are resolved at the victim´s strength, and benefit from any abilities and penalties from his close combat weapons (the controller of the mindshackle scarabs chooses which, there is a choice). If he is still alive, the victim returns to normal once all blows in that round of combat have been struck.

Doom Siren: Whenever a model with this rule moves over an enemy unit, that unit must take a pinning test.
Every second Scythe in a detachment does not count toward the maximum number of Fast Attack choices you may include in that detachment. Only Nighscythes are able to make use of this rule. You could have four Scythes in a combined arms detachment, but then one of them would need to be a Nightscythe, if two of them were Nightscythes, you could include one further Fast Attack choice in that detachment.
Dark Scythe
While the Dark Scythe carry bombs it does not fulfill the role of that a bomber normally fulfills since that role is filled by the Doom Scythe, instead it is purpose built to deliver the so called Death Spheres. Death Spheres employ the anti-particle technology featured in other Necron weapons, normally the more anti-particles a weapon uses the bigger blast it produces but the Necron technology employed in the Death Spheres, focuses all of the power in a small area, creating a weapon that can target a small area, and entirely obliterate anything within.

Eternity field: If three or more models with this rule can make a polygon in such a way that the length between no two of centres of the models that are forming the polygon are more than 24 inches apart, they form an Eternity field.
