Is that Sarah Palin Rip off? Lol!

This looks like it is gonna be on Scyfy channel type material. Why would you tarnish the great Necrons with this?

I'm kind of tired of people pointing this out. It is not because of the swastika that people take offence to nazi imagery, it is because of what it represents.

It is in the same vein as sluggaslugga telling the guy to paint the swastika's like the finnish air force, so they won't technically be nazi's anymore. It's not about the symbol.

Can you imagine, if you came to a store with your SS-Space Marines and someone would be offended you can just say: "No you see, the swastika has actually been around since 4000 bc."
And they would just be like: "Well I learn something new every day! Carry on then!"

Well, I guess you my good sir are right.
The logo could basically be anything, bu as long as the army represents a 3rd reich Nazi army, it can offend alot of people.
@ OP
You can always make some small references to the Nazis, but maybe a wwI themed space necron army would be more wise... not to mention the coolness!

Maybe you didn't read the last sentence of my post. Let me help you:

So actually there is nothing wrong with the symbol itself. It has become a taboo after WW2.

Just say that they're based on the Finnish Air Force:

Funny how the OP called them Nazi Necrons and not Finnish Air Force Necrons though. I think we all know what he's making so claiming otherwise is a bit silly. If he takes them to a shop and someone doesn't want to play his nazi necrons, it would be pretty pathetic to falsely claim they are Finnish Air Force to make it look as if the other person is being entirely unreasonable, or indeed make yourself look like a smartass.

But I guess I'm just a 'prude' because I think painting swasticas on Necrons is childish and stupid in the first place.

Back in the day I had a LATD army converted from a certain Mordheim fig:

Not a white robe/hood in sight, but that was still what everbody mentioned...

Actually, the first thing that came into my mind was the Apostate Preacher of Nurgle figure from FW
I only noticed the similarities when you mentioned the white.

Yeah, well that apostate preacher model didnt even exist when I did this army (I wish it did, I would have found it a useful addition), and EVERBODY (I mean everybody) made awful KKK jokes and references wheneer I used it...

TBH, they remind me of necron cultists right now on top of everything else.
The only reference to KKK is the pointy hat, although the KKk had hoods and not hats or helmets.
I don't know why everyone is referring to them.
