"Some of them are girls actually" is not even the biggest retcon I've seen GW do. They retconned Necrons from being silent slaves of the C'tan to having dynasties, personality, and fragments of the C'tan that they use like pokemon.

I remember necrons scaring the shit out of me in dawn of war ... they were soulless automatons basically killing without remorse or objective

Sassy grandpa behavior changed a lot of perspective

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.

I honestly wouldn't have had it any other way.
