An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The stasis-tombs of the Necrons are vast and shadowy edifices, and many an Imperial Explorator expedition has made planetfall on a Dead World only to vanish without trace, slain at the hands of the unliving guardian-constructs that watch over their slumbering masters. It was during the Orphean War, however, that the Ordo Xenos was provided with the first confirmed and detailed reports of the "Sentry Pylon" Necron war engine, as codified by Imperial tactical logisticians. Smaller than the heavy defensive Gauss Pylon weapons previously encountered in defence of active Necron Tomb Worlds and major invasion forces, Sentry Pylons fill the role of tactical artillery support and localised air defence units. They are entirely autonomous, self-sustaining and capable of limited battlefield mobility

  • The stasis-tombs of the Necrons are vast and shadowy edifices, and many an Imperial Explorator expedition has made planetfall on a Dead World only to vanish without trace, slain at the hands of the unliving guardian-constructs that watch over their slumbering masters. It was during the Orphean War, however, that the Ordo Xenos was provided with the first confirmed and detailed reports of the "Sentry Pylon" Necron war engine, as codified by Imperial tactical logisticians. Smaller than the heavy defensive Gauss Pylon weapons previously encountered in defence of active Necron Tomb Worlds and major invasion forces, Sentry Pylons fill the role of tactical artillery support and localised air defence units. They are entirely autonomous, self-sustaining and capable of limited battlefield mobility and self-repair, making for a formidable weapon platform, while their firepower, as with many observed Necron war machines, vastly exceeds any equivalent Imperial design of similar size. The most commonly observed weapon system mounted by these Pylons is a long-range "continuous beam" molecular disruption cannon known as a Gauss Exterminator. Alternative armament types, including coherent thermic ray and particle disintegration weapons, have also been reported. Sentry Pylons are most commonly found deployed in batteries consisting of up to three such dangerous constructs.
