The Necrons are actually time-travelling Adeptus Mechanicus. A faction of Mechanicus discovered a time-travel device, and went back in time with a ship to attempt to locate an intact
STC. Unfortunately, they screwed up, went back 100 million years, and had to form a settlement on a hostile planet. They had to turn to technology to survive, augmenting themselves even further. Due to the warp being calm because it was before Chaos was created, they could not travel faster than light, so had to spread using STL tech.
They found C'Tan, thinking them to be angels of the Machine God and declared war on the Old Ones to steal their tech. Cue Necron fluff.
Proof:
-Mechanicus emblem is a skull. Necrons all have skulls.
-There are a lot of wires on Mechanicus art. Necrons also have wires.
-Ordo Chronos disappeared with their time travel stuff. The Mechanicus obviously took it.
-Some Necrons have robes. So do Mechanicus.
-Mechanicus wants to become robots. Necrons are robots, so Mechanicus would want to be Necrons.
