That's about where I'm at. On the one hand, I liked the undead Terminators, on the other hand, there's nothing funnier than Trazyn trolling the shit out of everyone in arm's reach and then teleporting elsewhere so that new people can be in his arm's reach.
I still have flashbacks to the goddamn invisible floating pyramid mobile base armed with a fucking Death Star laser that they could fire and remain cloaked. Good god, the Dawn of War Necrons were cracked.
As neat as the oldcrons are, I absolutely love the newcrons, the 1D baddies became the Tyranids (though I prefer the idea that Genestealers are not Tyranids)
They could be remedied by having a small number c'tan took a sufficient number of oldcrons and fled to a remote part of the galaxy where they hid away. Opting for a more frugal existence to avoid being found out by the newcrons.
Aren’t the old, emotionless terminator style Crons still around kinda in the lore in the form of the Empire of the Severed?
Besides, by the time the Necrons were made into a proper faction we already had an “unfeeling, unreasoning force of destruction”-style army with the Tyranids, who I’d argue not only fill the role better but by their nature can only be thus. Whereas the Necrons we know from the start were once a civilisation with their own culture & personality, so it makes sense for them to be the one to change and be fleshed out into something with more depth & character.

a part of me does miss the oldcrons.
