Now, you'd think that the canopteks in this case would have organs / souls in them, but it's quite the opposite; canopteks are pure machines.
A necron typically has some vestiges of its organic self remaining, generally its consciousness / soul.
Canopteks don't; they are pure 100% artificial intelligence.

So wraiths, spyders, scarabs etc; no consciousness, just programming.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/628942/7464034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/628942/7464034.page GMT The 40k variant is constructs made to preserve the sleeping Necron Legions.

Probably just some random bit of Cryptek technobabble, given they don't have a unified purpose.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/628942/7464272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/628942/7464272.page GMT
It applies to all automated tomb defences and custodians - that is, anything the Necrons field that is both mobile and not a Necron (or, presumably, slave race, but we have no unit profiles for those outside Gorkamorka right now, which predates any concept of a Necron language).

Similarly, 'Necron' applies to all necron units that are derived from Necrontyr who have undergone Biotransferance, which is why they're Necron Warriors, Necron Lords, etc. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/628942/7466489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/628942/7466489.page GMT
