Necrons Avenger Host

The dreaded Avenger Host of Hive Cyberdyne is led by Necron Overlord Scavenger, also known as the Yellow King, Scrap Baron or Scarab lord. Some archivists believe he's one of the remaining Technomandrites, long ago exiled from the Necron empire. His sinister troops scatter the Cyberdyne sector like a stubborn rust infestation, a strategy that eventually guaranteed him the power over the ruined cityscape. Scavenger has since controlled the canal passages and great bridges of the city, laying ambushes and protecting his wretched realm from the outsiders with twisted skill.

While fighting the Planetary Defence Forces for the dominance of Hive Cyberdyne Scavenger learnt many things about human race and their warrior culture. Their nature was such that each soldier wanted to trust his comrades, seeking to form alliance and cooperation with their fellow men. Their surprise was great as the machine army adapted, concealing themselves to ripped human clothing or whatever remained of those who fought at the vanguard against the Necrons. Scavenger's advanced guerilla tactics led to outflanking the PDF formations and capturing several human vehicles by the means of careful infiltration or technical possession of their machine spirits. The final blow against the defenders was the bombardment of their command posts by their own artillery, enhanced and controlled by the Scavenger's Crypteks.

Ever since the fall of Cyberdyne's Planetary Defence Force and the Imperial Creed the city has been under Scavenger's iron grasp. His ramshackle legions think of the city as their glorious realm, even though it's nowadays only a shantytown and a shadow of it's former might of a Hive. Blending themselves with the cityscape elements and sometimes even disguising their metal hides as concrete or vehicle wrecks, the Necron legion scouts and patrols the streets, waiting for hostile movement or new challengers to appear. Hunter-Killer Arks patrol the skies, launching clouds of Scarab swarms to consume any precious material to be produced as a part of Scavenger's arsenal. And below the streets tireless Tomb Spyder engineers and Cryptek artificiers work with The Machine, a device so powerful that even the Stormlord of Mandragora would consider his dynasty threatened in the case of rivalry. If he knew of the Scavenger's scheme, that is.
