Forgot to add this.^ Sooo, when did the Necrons first appear in White Dwarf? I searched through my White Dwarfs, but I don't have that issue.

Here it is!!! Two years after the Iron Man episode. Hmmm.....

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

That's interesting.

I mean, it's perfectly possible that one guy from GW saw this episode and got the idea of the necrons.

"How many more worlds do we sacrifice? How many more millions or billions do we betray before we turn and fight?" - attributed to Captain Leoten Semper of Battlefleet Gothic - Gothic War, the evacuation of Belatis.

If commanding a Titan is a measure of true power, then commanding a warship is like having one foot on the Golden Throne - Navy saying.

The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is....basically himself?

As a matter of fact the suits reminded me of a dreadnought only not as cool.
He did copy a lot of stuff from dances with wolfs.
