So... The living Metal of the Necrons.. I have have some questions, and have not been able to find any answers to... and also some general questions... I am that there has been quite a lot of change from the Old C'tan slaves Necrons to the newer more freewilled Necrons... But in case there has been changes from from the old codex to the new, i would like to hear both the old and new discribtion... Also i am unsure wether to post this as it has questions about rules, but also largely relevant for the campaign setting.....
1) First of all "what is it" i have heard that is billions of small "nano robots"... But i read (in Dead Men Walking) that if exposed too very high temprature (read hit by heavy melta weapons) it becomes liquid... However The reformed from a liquid silvery pool into a full Necron due to the lords Ressurection orb.. I have also from ertain reading gotten this idea that the Necrons are not Machines per say... But some something else entirely... The Necrodermis like more of a shell around this green energy .
While in Hammer and Anvil they are discribed as more actual machines, using data traference, understadning binary, having fragile components and such...
Am i wrong here? what are the Necrodermis exactly?
2) How are Necrons powered? or Where do they get energy from?
3) how does Necrodermis react to water? Does it float or sink? Can Necrons swim?
4) How does Necron do in Zero gravity? i imagine the skimmers doing just fine, but what about the soldiers?
5) Does the Necrons have the equvilant of Titans?
6) How do you think the Necrons percieve the world? Do the see it as we do or some other way? (any ideas to how they see the world would be VERY helpful )
7) Does the Necrons have a "soul". Various sources seems to suggest otherwise, but did they have one when they were just the Necrontyr? Has it been converted to something else, like that green glow Necrons have?
8) what would happen to the C'tan in case all life died? would the starve and die?
9) I read in black crusade that (at least some) Necron weapons destory souls! Thoughs on this?
10) what is know about the Necrontyr as a race? I read the codex, and i have yet to find anything on how they look/ anything in general them race, other than the fact that their sun was nasty, that they seemed quite spiteful and that they had extremely advanced tech,,,
