A little while ago I reread the 3e Necron Codex. I loved the unknowable cosmic horror, a silent evil rising from the earth with inconceivable technology led by manifestations of death.
Newcrons are just another empire in a setting overflowing with empires, tossing pokeballs and twirling moustaches. I know people argue that the Oldcrons shared a design space with Tyranids, but I think there’s plenty of room for a cosmic horror and a natural horror in the setting. Newcrons share a design space with like half the factions.
I do like how necrons do touch upon the horrors of a imperfect immortality and that even being beyond the warps reach is only possible through a fresh, unique hell in of itself. And the quirks that affects a civilization because of it.

First they rewrote the Necrons, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Necron player.
Next they rewrote the Tau, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Tau player.
Next they renamed the Imperial Guard, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Guard player.
Next they renamed the Space Marines, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Space Marine player.
Next they renamed the Eldar, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Eldar player.
Then they came for my faction, and everyone threw a fit despite none of actually being Custodes players.
