hmph... metal skeletons imagining that they could take over the universe Sorry. lots of funny things came into my mind when I saw this post. Hope you guys have fun
If you want help I can help you with a setup..... ^^ Here some ideas: TIME SETTING 1. you can set short after the War of Heaven when the Necrontyr started the war against the c'tan and to become free (in basic to alternate history how it happened) 2. Or well.... in the 41st millenium (where the players then fight as 1 necron army most likely to defeat different other races which find their tombworld and after that the players start invading others ; imagine kinda like DoW1 Dark Crusade where everyone comes to the Necron Tomb World, but after the Necrons won they start setting out for new worlds) 3. fan-fic time, go after that or kinda during 41st millenium it but with a specific setting: The Silent King goes around to unite the tombworlds to fight the Tyranids and each tombworld-player then can decide to join him or fight him and depending on their goals and opinions and in basic a galactic civil war breaks out between the opposing Necron Lords.
That's an excellent proposition - and if I can I would like to vote for idea number three. Would make an excellent story. Oh and we would most likely need someone to be the Silent King.
I personally saw 1st as most interesting, but I won't really say anything for or against.... I will just provide ideas and once you guys have a start eventually participate a bit ^^ (my necron knowledge is not very good)
Heh, the 1st is pretty interesting too. Necrons in their new necrodermis bodies fighting for freedom againts foes of unimaginable powers. Would give a lot of space to make your own characters and battles.
yup... Though if ppl are more looking for cooperation adventures then the 2nd option is the best. You could start setting out the World how it changed since the Necrons were active before they laid to rest and can make up any invader (Tau, Orks, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Space Marines, Imperial Guard, etc etc.) or even go so far that a conflict resurrected the Necrons. I.E. Eldar fighting Chaos or Grey Knights vs. Daemons and then the Necrons come out and finish off every weakened force. And from then on the players travel to planet to planet, trying to kill everyone .... or something ^^ Each of the 3 scenarios have rich material, just depends on how you want to play.... 1st scenario - PvE with PvP mix (as some could ally with the C'tan or are still under their influence) or perhaps even a player or the GM plays as a C'tan and wants to kill the player's armies 2nd scenario - pure PvE as all start together as same tombworld and fight off whoever came to their world and then start killing everything else 3rd scenario - PvE with PvP elements, depending on alignment (but also gives freedom in still fighting Astartes and such as the other factions could get in the way while planning to attack someone who aligned with or against the Silent King)
