Well.....obviously not.

You can either accept the heart-warming yet ultimatively deceiving lies of the NewCron story or face the harsh and bitter truth the actual Necron history bears.

TruCron or NewCron, it is your choice.

Necron, that's my choice.
And their story is written down in the latest codex, perhaps with some updates next spring when our new codex arrives.
They are not lies, it's written in the codex and it's the Necron-story.

Deal with it. Because it's getting rather annoying at the moment.

NewCron it is then!

Enjoy the soothing silence and the loving lies. For many are easily misled by the lies that comfort the soul and the few that realize the truth are hardly listened to - until it is too late and those previously misled by themselves realize their mistake and are woken up by a lies-induced slumber. A slumber you wake up from just to face a nightmare.

Thank you Sigvatr, that was a good entertaining story. It's good. I also like the new stuff. I can at least now see why you are unhappy with the new stuff.

While I never really got into 40K, my first experience was with Tyranids in Rouge Trader. Since nobody played I dropped it. Finally when 4th edition came out, I was displeased when my Zoats were eliminated. Didn't like how the fluff was changed there.

So I can see what you mean now.

I'd take a few things with a hint of salt, considering the inability to keep track of fluff from the codex he speaks from.

"Ah, yes, old Sigvatr.
He's never been the same since he woke up.
Still thinks he fights for the C'tan, poor fellow.
The other Overlords tolerate his eccentricities out of respect for his prowess in the battles of eons gone by, but... it does get a bit much some times.
Particularly confusing is the fact that he still uses many of the newer war machines, despite there being no record of "Night Scythes" or "Annihilation Barges" in the oldest tomes.
Still, as long as his efforts continue the expanse of the dynasties, no one feels the need to correct him.
Though, if you'll excuse me, I have a Court meeting I must attend presently. Apparently those odd separatists who have taken to daubing themselves in green paint are becoming unruly again, and you know how angry Imotekh gets when they foil his carefully plotted strategies.
Come, Obyron, we've plans to lay!"

Glad to having you helped out

It's ok to like either fluff. The NewCron fluff is poorly written, but hey, some people also like the Twilight series

Necrons are actually just Tyranid slave beings, since the are mindless killing machines its really easy for the Hive mind to control them. Theres no source in any book about this but its the lore I've decided for them. So from now on I will call Necrons "Nid Slaves"
