Here is some info from Wiki.

No amount of long distance shooting will make up for those geeky looking deathmarks... and the whole army has become so fruity looking... for shame...
I was hoping to trash some epic looking models... NO!!! I will be forced to commence a beat down on a bunch of cross-dressin, grandpa shaped, automatons...

And that's the problem.
Necrons have always been thought of as "robots".
They're not. They're a construct housing a sentient being.
The level of sentience within these constructs ranges from "mindless drone following orders" to "fully sentient and independently thinking lord".
I'm not understanding the justification for a loincloth regardless. It looks terrible. Might as well bring on the bras.

Well to be fair, Necrons need a lot of units to fill out their lines... and if it's anything like Ward's GK Codex then there's going to be a LOT of options...

This is true. Imperial Guard has more special characters than the old Necrons had units.

I don't like the Mk one style mixed with an ancient civilisation. More so when it seems the sculpturer couldn't decided if that civilisation was Ancient Eygpt or Incas.

Bet they're jump troops - look at the bottom of their ribcage (on the back), they have orbs sticking out. All speculation at this point, though.

I think it might be part of some sort of teleporting pack. Like the interceptor squads.

You have it backwards. Both Egypt and the Incas had a Necron look because both cultures worshipped the Necrons as their 'Space Gods'.
