And they have a very short lifespan as well. Plus, they are as naïve with other races as the necrontyr were with the C'tan when they first met, or when they asked for the Old Ones to kindly show them the path to immortality

There lore ranges from a a virus that makes them wear the flayed flesh of their enemies as they malfunction in their understanding of the flesh tranfurance to old man who doesnt know he is a robot tries to eat food and everything inbetween. Necron players are so free to define their army however they please. Badass army for sure.
