It’s additionally very applicable for a sport centred on the technology-obsessed Adeptus Mechanicus: the Necrons had been created when, craving immortality, an historic alien race transferred their minds into our bodies fabricated from residing metallic. The Mechanicus have an identical admiration for metallic’s enduring properties – as you possibly can hear within the sport’s teaser trailer under – so in some ways, the Necrons are their darkish mirror.
