Cryptek



Necron Crypteks are technologists of the Necron race, and they are responsible for studying and maintaining the technology of the Necrons. A cryptek's powers mirror that of psykers, however, while psykers channel warp energies to accomplish his feats, a cryptek uses his knowledge of sciences to manipulate the universe's fundamental forces. What he accomplishes is nothing short of magical to the eyes of lesser races. With his knowledge of arcane sciences, he can transmute a foe into liquid adamantium, turn him into a speck of dwarf star matter, set the air ablaze, call down elderitch bolts of ligtning and other equally impressive scientific feats.



'''Role in Necron society ''' Although a cryptek has no official rank in a necron dynasty, he wields immense influence in a necron dynasty. He maintains all of the technologies of the necrons, from the tomb world's machinery to the weapons that the necrons use. Such is his influence that necron overlords would give him rare alloys, power cores and focusing crystals in exchange for his services.
