Hey, /tg/! What happens to necrons when they die? Do they simply

Consciences are copied, not transferred.

In theory, a necron on a necrodermis reclaiming mission could encounter it's past self, but a warrior wouldn't mind.

Why do you not read the damn Necron codex. If there is anything I hate is dumbass basic questions that can be fucking answered by opening a wiki.

For fucks sake a thread died for this. You murdering asshole.

>>54953834
>Consciences are copied, not transferred.

Wrong. It's transferred. Another thing I hate more than the dumbass that asks basic questions, is the guy who fails at answering them.

>>54953834
>Consciences are copied, not transferred.

Necrons are transfers, not copies.

>>54953852
What happens to threads when they die?

>>54953882
They go to the archive and wait there until enough threads have died since theirs.

Then they experience the True Death, and only monuments and ghostposting remain.

Necrons are soulless shells animated by a pesudo-AI generated using the mind of a living Necrontr as a seed. As they are not technically alive, their "deaths" have no effect on the Warp.

Necron bodies are capable of limited self repair. If rendered inoperable, they will shut down in order to initiate their Reanimation Protocols and eventually reactivate on the spot. Upon sustaining severe damage, a Necron's body automatically activates a teleport homer and is returned to their Tomb World for repair. This is referred to as Phasing Out. A necron "consciousness" is bound to it's individual shell, in the majority of cases, however this is due primarily to the Necron leadership's disinterest in preserving individual underlings rather than a technological limitation. High-ranking Necron cryptechs are capable of body-hopping indestructiblity.

It's not AI. It's the mind of living being turned into energy form. That's why there is a group of Necrons called False Necrons which are Necrons run by AI. The fact that mind of the Necrons are minds of living sentient being is what causes the soullessness effect which other robots do not possess.

>however this is due primarily to the Necron leadership's disinterest in preserving individual underlings rather than a technological limitation.

Not sure where this dumbassery comes from. The Necron Warriors are limited creatures because there wasn't enough resources to give them bodies that maintains all the aspects of themselves (like meory and yada). On top of that they were lobotomised.

>High-ranking Necron cryptechs are capable of body-hopping indestructiblity.

The Overlords and Crypteks share the same phase out capability of the warrior and other Necrons. Only Trazyn and, being the snowflake he is, and the World Engine deposed ruler can body hop.

>Only Trazyn and, being the snowflake he is, and the World Engine deposed ruler can body hop.
Still means that the technology itself is well within their reach.

>>54954005
>It's not AI. It's the mind of living being turned into energy form.
I assume that's why he stuck a pesudo in there.

>>54954068
It's as pseudo as the minds of any living creature.

>>54954067
Reach of a few snowflakes.

They go to the un-warp where their anti-souls are consumed by reverse-daemons.

>>54953872
>>54953882

Eh, Copying ups the transhuman nightmare.

>>54954183
But they're space undead egyptians, not shitty sci-fi horror.

>>54953882

Wait till they're inevitably reposted again.

Just like Necrons.

>>54954219

... Those things are not mutually exclusive.

... Hell, it doesn't take much for undead and transhuman nightmare to overlap.

>>54954273
>Those things are not mutually exclusive.

Neither are shit and porridge but you don't want to add shit to your porridge.

>>54954292

You eat shit and piss out porridge?

Because that makes about as much sense your analogy

>>54954351
The point is the Necrons don't need your shitty entry level ship of Theseus "horror"crap.

>>54954462
But what DO they need, oh wise one?

>>54954474
Nothing, they're fine as Egyptian space undead.

>>54954462

.... What does need have to do with anything we are talking about?

Sure, I understand that 40k cheats and has a soul that is the maker of an individual, but Necrons explicitly don't have that, so it seems weird to force them to have a perfect reincarnation gimmick.

>>54954737

Marker of an individual...

Typos...
