My question is, has this code of honour ever been described in detail anywhere?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5627659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5627659.page GMT Re:Necron Code of Honour
For example, it appears that the Necrons abiding by this have to give prior notice of intent and give a period of time for the enemy to back down or withdraw from the area of interest. If that is not done, then the Necrons attack. Assassination and ambush (as described in the Necron Lord entry) are forbidden. The Deathmark entry specifically mentions Deathmarks being forbidden as a result. The Zahndrekh entry also mentions that he disdains the use of Wraiths and ensures that enemy commanders are captured rather than killed. The Anrakyr entry mentions how the option of honorable surrender can be extended to a defeated enemy.

So if you were to make your army adhere to this code then Wraiths and Deathmarks should be off-limits entirely. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5627753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5627753.page GMT Re:Necron Code of Honour

Not directly described. What is known is only from snippets. It appears to be a code that applies only to battles between Necron nobles and others they consider worthy of being treated to the same standards.


But since Zandrekh is under the impression he's fighting rebel Necrontyr, it's pretty clear he extends those formalities to all enemies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5627851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5627851.page GMT Re:Necron Code of Honour

His entry says he does not resort to such strategies but his subordinates have no compunction to do so. So it seems his subordinates can circumvent him. Zandrekh is the eccentric boss that whose eccentricities are humored when he is around and promptly ignored when he is not.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5628020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5628020.page GMT Necron Code of Honour

I'm considering adding Nemesor Zandrekh to my list and because I place way too much importance on the lore, I feel the need to make my army adhere to the code of conduct that everyone, but Zandrekh, loves to ignore oh so much.

My question is, has this code of honour ever been described in detail anywhere?

Given that Necrons have perfect recall most of the time due to being golem robots, or at least easy access to computers, and given their now extremely extensive lifespans, I'd say that the code of honor would be extremely long, labyrinthine, full of exceptions and special circumstances, incredibly arcane for outsiders, and mindbogglingly comprehensive. Feel free to make up rules not already outlined in the fluff as you go along. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5628737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5628737.page GMT Necron Code of Honour
What snippets we have of it seem to be a mesh of Bushido and the Codes of Chivalry at their highest level.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5630374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527600/5630374.page GMT Necron Code of Honour
