This has nothing to do with the rules and in game, but some friends and I were discussing some necron fluff. The fluff is that when necrons get hurt, they will phase out to repair, but if the necron is too damaged, it won't be able to phase out to the tomb. And since the necrons have vehicles now does this apply to them in the fluff. And if an ork army damages a ghost ark or any other necron vehicle enough so that it can't phase out, would they be able to loot it and gain necron tech/necron looted wagon?

Yes. All necron tech has the ability to teleport or self destruct.

And yes, if this mechanism is damage, that should theoretically stop them from blowing up/teleporting.

So, technically in a battle, you can see orks hanging off the side of a looted ghost ark or even a looted monolith?

Yes, potentially, as there is currently nothing in the fluff that says they can't. But it wouldn't be an everyday occurance. Necron vehicles are very hard to loot, and will take a take an extreme case of luck in order to get them at a lootable state. And if the orks do get hold of working tech, they will prolly blow themselves up.

See - Doomsday Ark incident.

Orks can loot ANYTHING, no exceptions

doesn't the carnifex have an armor save....you know what forget it, they're orks, everything is fair game.
