Annihilation Legion
Detachment Rules
Annihilation Protocol
Each time a DESTROYER CULT or FLAYED ONES unit from your army declares a charge, you can re-roll the Charge roll. If one or more targets of that charge are Below Half-strength, add 1 to the Charge roll as well.
Each time a DESTROYER CULT unit from your army makes a ranged attack that targets the closest eligible target, add 1 to the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack.
The most murderous Necrons of an Annihilation Legion retain no thought processes beyond destroying anything in reach. They are mechanised death, echoes of the industrialised and brutal processes of biotransference made manifest. Whether soullessly efficient or frenziedly deluded, these killing machines follow protocols that have atrophied into a singular and all-consuming insanity.

Awakened Dynasty
Detachment Rules
Command Protocols
While a NECRONS CHARACTER model is leading this unit, each time a model in this unit makes an attack, add 1 to the Hit roll.
The Necron nobility and their high-ranking courtiers make war in a codified and relentless fashion. Their command protocols crackle out across multi-dimensional spectra from carrier-wave projectors, compelling their semi-sentient soldiery into battle one overriding directive at a time.

Detachment Rules
Power Matrix
Certain areas of the battlefield are considered to be within your army’s Power Matrix, as follows:
- Your deployment zone is always within your army’s Power Matrix.
- At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within No Man’s Land, until the end of that phase, No Man’s Land is within your army’s Power Matrix.
- At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within your opponent’s deployment zone, until the end of that phase, your opponent’s deployment zone is within your army’s Power Matrix.
Each time a model in a CRYPTEK or CANOPTEK unit from your army makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. If such a unit is wholly within your army’s Power Matrix, you can re-roll the Hit roll instead.
Countless worlds across the galaxy harbour quiescent Necron technology, buried beneath the surface or mistaken for mere xenoarchaeological ruins. Whether part of an awakening tomb world’s defences, phased beneath the crust of a planet to empower the Cryptek’s conquest or perhaps the very objects they seek, these strange engines can be roused to wakefulness. Linked in an interdimensional matrix, their ancient energy cores can be vampirically bled to empower the Crypteks’ arcane technologies as well as their artificial and servile constructs.

With a command transmitted by regal carrier wave, signalled by a glowing glyph or via a haughty gesture with their blade, the ruling nobles mark their chosen enemy. With this declaration are the Triarchal Codes observed, and the ignorant foe doomed. The nobles’ powerful servants and the Triarch’s guardians of tradition march to war obediently, driven to best the mightiest of foes on the battlefield as a demonstration of the dynasty’s honour and a warning to the rest of their enemies’ foolish kind.
