Codex Necrons, 3rd ed., Page 3 by Graham McNeill

Welcome to this first installment of Oldex, in which I adapt the wonderful fiction from out of print Warhammer 40,000 codexes and other rules books into audio stories.
First things first: thank you ever so much to Graham McNeill, the very author of this and so many other stories I grew up reading.
Graham took the time to tell me the specific authors of the individual pieces in 3rd edition Codex Necrons after I sent him photos of them *all* from my own copy.
As you may know, codexes generally only give a list of authors at the start and do not attribute which piece of fiction was written by who.
As I'm adapting individual pieces I felt it only right to try and credit the specific author of a piece, rather than say 'it's either the work of Andy Chambers, Pete Haines, Graham McNeill, Phil Kelly or Andy Hoare.'
Thank you Mr. McNeill, I feel honoured you have taken the time to help me, and it's a testament to your character that you made the effort for someone you don't know from Jack.

While you're about it, visit his website to see the vast plethora of work he's accomplished:
Since, thanks to Graham, I have all the authors for the Codex Necrons 3rd ed. fiction, this first phase of Oldex will be focused on that book, and I am glad that the opening story in the codex is by Mr. McNeill, as I wanted the first video on this channel to be one of his.
Why Necrons? I'm a necron boy at heart. I love all the other factions - I also have Space Marine, Genestealer Cult and Imperial Guard forces.
As someone with a couple of chronic health issues who has been let down by people in power, however, I relate to their story of being horrendously ill and raging at those who are in a position, but refuse, to help or betray them. There is something awesome and inspiring about enslaving the very gods that tried to devour you. I probably have an unusual view of the necrons though, don't I?
