Ok... I may be dumb, I may just not be albe to find this, or not know where it's published.... or it may not even be published.

But here's the question... I've been looking for the answer every day for weeks.

WHICH WORLDS ARE NECRON TOMB WORLDS?

lol, I've been getting frustrated looking for this info I've even looked on internet 40k maps and I've tried to line them up with the map in the codex...

Are they just not named... is everything done from an Imperium perspective? Do they "not quite exist yet?"

Do they even have names? are the actually posted on any maps so you can see how far they are from other worlds? Or has GW left out this apparently significant piece of information.... DO they think I don't care because the necrons don't really have an identity?

*sigh* Any answers out there?

A little personal back story i'm a former IG player turning to Necrons BECAUSE of the lack of choice in the codex. (It's not about what you choose, but how you use....) I like that... However, I MISS all the IG Lore. I feel out of place with the apparent lack of lore... Moreover, the fact that almost none of it is from Necron perspective...

Oh right.. they don't have a perspective.. how dumb is that.

Anyone think Necrons will get a bit more lore in 5th Ed?

=> Damnos

one example in the rulebook and in codex space marines.

The point in necrons (like the internet) is anonymity, you dont know all the worlds they are on and you wont find out until its too late

They would mostly be on worlds that were once full of life, so that they have an easy beginning to the harvest when they awaken. Kronus, for example.

However lord cheese what you just said is pure ballistic skill (BS, oh the wit ).

one of the signature traits of necron worlds is that they are predominantly dead worlds.

I see, so Kronus (from dawn of war) and Damnos are the only two for sure? Intresting.

The whole point is to stay hidden. intresting... So from a role playing perspective, does it matter really what planet the battle is fought on... or does it really not matter that much.

Theoretically the necrons can be sleeping on every planet in the universe? they just haven't discovered yet?

THEORETICALLY, yes.

However its highly unlikely.

The only other tomb world I think that is actually mentioned is Pavonis, try this link, it goes to all 3 mentioned.

Thank you! After a little editing of the pages related I've noticed there are actually four. When i went there an unknown planet that i've never heard of was on the list of tomb worlds... so that makes 4. I personally got them all in the category and linked together.

God, Necron role playing information is so sparse.... As a budding Sci-fi writer I think i should really try to work on that... Time to take a trip to the Chicago Battle Bunker!

There's a Ton of Deadworld's the Traitor homeworld's are barren rock's countless more world's that war broke out and the Imperium pressed the Easy button.

In English you don't have to use an apostrophe for plurals. There's a ton of Deadworlds, homeworlds, rocks. You get the idea.
Necron home planets aren't mentioned much because whenever they are found the Imperium does its best to exterminatus them. They aren't super easy to find apparently.

Ah, Yet another reason to hate the Imperium.. Why can't they just leave the homicidal robots alone... What did they ever do to you....

Oh... Right....

There is a map of necron tomb worlds in the main 40k rulebook and in codex Eldar.

The ones in the rulebook, while a map, they are not labeled and i've tired and failed to line them up to a labeled map on the internet... The one in Codex Eldar... Are the planets labeled?

Shouldnt there be Necron Tomb Worlds in the Eye of Terror?

Hollismason wrote:Shouldnt there be Necron Tomb Worlds in the Eye of Terror?

Tombworlds would still get owned by floating about in pure chaos, the 'crons would be wiped out.

Yes. They are labled and marked with a little triangle (monolith).

they rest in the deepest corners of the universe....MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

@ Exarch Nextel: If you mean the current Eldar Codex, I'm certain that those aren't tomb worlds. The labelled places with a triangular rune as a symbol are places of interest to the Eldar, fabled sites of myth and legend - like Vaul's Anvil or Mars.

Unless, you know, Mars is secretly a Necron Tomb World.

There was an ice world that was one in a cain book, the tomb was under a refinery ig and orks were fighting over i think.

In codex spese mahrines it mentions that the emperor's sword's chapter planet belicas got killed by cron's from under belicas.

malbede was a tomb-world.

actually necrons have technology that can either contain or destroy warp energy. IIRC there using scavenged necron pylons to contain the eye of terror on cadia(don't quote me on that though). In truth the necrons are the only ones that can truly defeat chaos. Hell the C'tan have a plan to essentially kill the chaos gods. If it weren't for their horribly outdated codex necrons would probably be the scariest faction in the game.

My thoughts exactly.

The C'tan's plan is "kill everything, everywhere, down to the last bacterium". Besides, Chaos isn't actually much to worry about if you think about it. Objectively, they're a bunch of pathetic losers who can't even take a single planet outside the Eye of Terror even when someone manages to unite every last faction, daemon, marine, and cultist for a Black Crusade.

Most tomb worlds dont have active pylons, they have to be reconstructed apon 'cron activation.

though there are likely other safeguards that we don't know about yet. plus chaos has been pretty much ignoring them and treating them as if there not a threat so I have to wonder if chaos can even perceive the necrons since they effectively have no souls and/or the pariah gene.

Well good old Abby is aware of the 'crons alright, take a look at page 26 of the necron codex (vision of the sleeping god).

Lets see, I can think of Kronus and Lorn V (both from the Dawn of War games), the hilariously named Ice planet Simia Orichalcae and the dead planet Interitus, as well as a comet near the planet Perlia (all from the Cain novels), Naogeddon (where the Deceiver went into stasis), Pavonis (where the Nightbringer went into stasis), Mars (probably, at least...), Angelis (also known as Gorkamorka). There's bound to be a lot more, but I can't think of any right now.

Kronus
