Hello ! Awesome Community, fellow Hivers, and friends!😁😀🐝
Continuing Our Exploration of Necron Lore;
In our previous post, we delved deeper into Lords of Eternity: The Most Iconic Necrons(@xenowolfza/lords-of-eternity-the-most)
Today we look at Necron Elites:
The Necron dynasties boast warriors of unparalleled resilience, but among them, a select few stand as the true elites of their undying legions. These warriors, assassins, and enforcers execute the will of their Overlords with chilling efficiency.
Deathmarks – The Silent Executioners

Deathmarks are the Necron legions’ premier assassins, emerging from seemingly nowhere to eliminate high-priority targets with terrifying precision. Utilizing their dimension-phasing technology, they exist out of sync with reality until the perfect moment to strike. This allows them to infiltrate enemy positions unnoticed before reappearing and executing their victims with their devastating synaptic disintegrators. Their eerie, single-glowing eyes mark them as silent specters of death, ensuring no target marked by their hunter’s gaze escapes their fate.🔫
Triarch Praetorians – Keepers of the Dynastic Code

Charged with upholding the ancient laws of the Necron dynasties, Triarch Praetorians stand above the politics of individual rulers. They ensure that Necron society remains intact, and those who stray from the path face their wrath. Wielding the powerful Rod of Covenant and soaring across battlefields on Gravity Displacement Packs, these warriors strike with devastating force at the heart of enemy formations. Having remained awake through the millennia, they now re-emerge to reclaim the galaxy in the name of Necron supremacy.
Lychguard – The Noble Protectors

Lychguard serve as the personal bodyguards and trusted envoys of Necron nobility. Their bodies, enhanced with superior living metal, provide them with durability befitting their role as the last line of defense for their masters. Armed with Hyperphase Swords and Dispersion Shields, they can deflect even the deadliest of attacks while cutting down foes with swift and deadly precision. Some prefer Warscythes, extending their reach in combat and ensuring that no adversary gets too close to their charge. With their unbreakable loyalty and formidable combat prowess, Lychguard are both guardians and enforcers of their master’s will.👽
Pariahs – The Soulless Abominations

Among the most feared entities in the Necron ranks, Pariahs are an unnatural fusion of Necron technology and the rare human bearers of the Pariah Gene. These soulless constructs emit an aura that disrupts psychic abilities and instills dread in all who face them. Wielding Warscythes with built-in Gauss Blasters, they are a nightmarish force on the battlefield, cutting down even the most resilient foes. Their mere presence is enough to shatter the resolve of enemies, ensuring that they are not just warriors, but weapons of psychological and supernatural warfare.🤔🤖
The elites of the Necron legions embody the perfection of their ancient empire, each playing a unique role in its grand design. Whether enforcing the will of the Triarch, assassinating key targets, or standing guard over their masters, these warriors ensure the Necron race’s continued dominance in a galaxy rife with conflict.🌌📚📕
