Apparently the Cadian Pylons were going to be constructed around the Galaxy as a way to stabilize the Warp and remove the chief weakness of the Necrons from the War in Heaven. Seeing as how Necrons have no souls, at least as far as the Warp is concerned, they tend to get torn up by races with Psychic powers. What I find interesting is that the Eye of Terror was created close (galactically speaking) to a massive amount of them, though the presence of them helped open the Cadian Gate.

Unfortunately a massive outbreak of Puppeteers (Warp creatures that can control people) caused the Necrons to put their plans on a back burner and take a rather long catnap. The soul-less hordes need lots of beauty sleep to maintain that glossy, evil-green glow we all know and love them for.
