Meet the Hierotek Circle: a 9-10 operative Necron kill team that refuses to stay dead! With Reanimation Protocols bringing operatives back from the grave, Living Metal healing wounds, and Magnify allowing Crypteks to shoot through allies, they're a resilient shooting force. They're tough (3+ saves, 10-14 wounds) but slow (5-6" move), focusing on precise firepower and strategic control. Use Plasmacytes for buffs, Deathmarks for sniping, and Crypteks for powerful support. Outlast and outgun your foes with undying metal warriors!
