Necrons can go from Lawful Evil, to Neutral, to Chaotic, depending on the Dynasty.

I'd give them an Overall Classification as Lawful Evil though, as there tends to be Order among most of them.

Imperium of Man (Post heresy) - Lawful Evil.

This is the explanation of Lawful Neutral: "Lawful Neutral is called the "Judge" or "Disciplined" alignment. A Lawful Neutral character typically believes strongly in Lawful concepts such as honor, order, rules and tradition, and often follows a personal code. A Lawful Neutral society would typically enforce strict laws to maintain social order, and place a high value on traditions and historical precedent. Examples of Lawful Neutral characters might include a soldier who always follows orders, a judge or enforcer that adheres mercilessly to the word of the law, and a disciplined monk.
Characters of this alignment are neutral with regard to good and evil. This does not mean that Lawful Neutral characters are amoral or immoral, or do not have a moral compass, but simply that their moral considerations come a distant second to what their code, tradition, or law dictates. They typically have a strong ethical code, but it is primarily guided by their system of belief, not by a commitment to good or evil."

And this is for Lawful Evil: "Lawful Evil is referred to as the "Dominator" or "Diabolic" alignment. Characters of this alignment see a well-ordered system as being easier to exploit, and show a combination of desirable and undesirable traits; while they usually obey their superiors and keep their word, they care nothing for the rights and freedoms of other individuals and are not averse to twisting the rules to work in their favor. Examples of this alignment include tyrants, devils, undiscriminating mercenary types who have a strict code of conduct, and loyal soldiers who enjoy the act of killing.
Like Lawful Good Paladins, Lawful Evil characters may sometimes find themselves faced with the dilemma of whether to obey law or evil when the two conflict. However, their issues with Law versus Evil are more concerned with "Will I get caught?" versus "How does this benefit me?""

By these two definitions Imperium is more Lawful Neutral as they are doing evil only when they have too ( for example wiping out last standing Imperial Guard Regiment and invading Tyranids to stop the Tyranid threat there and by doing this ending their threat and saving hundreds more worlds ). Imperium is, like it or not, capable of doing good things, they occasionally help Eldar and Tau, have peace agreement with the Tau Empire and most Importantly they fight Chaos witch is entombment of all evil - Lawful Evil doesn't for that , they have to choose between obeying orders and doing evil, Imperium is only choosing evil when survival of Mankind is at stake.

Sisters of Battle - Lawful Evil

I wil ljust quote tv tropes on this: "The Sisters of Battle are also fairly Lawful Good, if they place more emphasis on Lawful than Good."
