Reanimation Protocols

The Necron dynasties benefit from the nigh-on supernatural technologies that once saw them dominate the galaxy, perhaps the most unsettling of which are their reanimation protocols. Should a Necron be slain, its body becomes wreathed in an eerie glow. Crawling limbs reattach. Sundered torsos and smashed skulls reform amidst emerald sparks. Witch lights flare back to life within dead eye-lenses and the Necron rises again, shambling back into their battle line. Those Necrons too catastrophically damaged to reform vanish instead, teleported away to their tombs for repair.

If your Army Faction is NECRONS, at the end of your Command phase, each friendly unit with this ability that is on the battlefield activates its Reanimation Protocols:
▪ When a unit’s Reanimation Protocols activate, that unit heals D3 wounds.

Example: A unit of Lokhust Destroyers (which have a Wounds characteristic of 3) activates its Reanimation Protocols. The unit had a Starting Strength of 3, but currently contains 2 models, and one of those models has lost 1 wound. A 3 is rolled to see how many wounds are reanimated. The first of these reanimated wounds restores the wounded Lokhust Destroyer back to 3 wounds. The second of these reanimated wounds returns the destroyed Lokhust Destroyer to the battlefield with 1 wound remaining. The third of these reanimated wounds restores one of the remaining lost wounds to the same Lokhust Destroyer that was just returned. The unit now contains 3 models, two of which have 3 wounds remaining and one of which has 2 wounds remaining.

Annihilation Legion

6 stratagems

Annihilation Protocol

The most murderous Necrons of an Annihilation Legion retain no thought processes beyond destroying anything in reach. They are mechanised death, echoes of the industrialised and brutal processes of bio transference made manifest. Whether soullessly efficient or frenziedly deluded, these killing machines follow protocols that have atrophied into a singular and all-consuming insanity.

Each time a DESTROYER CULT or FLAYED ONES unit from your army declares a charge, you can re-roll the Charge roll. If one or more targets of that charge are Below Half-strength, add 1 to the Charge roll as well.
Each time a DESTROYER CULT unit from your army makes a ranged attack that targets the closest eligible target, add 1 to the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack.

In your turn, when this unit makes an ingress/advance move using its Transdimensional Displacement ability, this unit can end that move more than 6" horizontally from all enemy units (instead of more than 8").
