FOR THE EMPEROR! HE IS THE ONLY VIABLE SCHELLING POINT!

Beware the anthropic implications of aliens, the selection pressure behind mutants, the institutional damage of heresy.

-- Sanctus Muflax of Holy Terra

In the grim dark future of our hostile multi-verse, past the dark age of technology when the men of iron were crushed by those who would be less wrong as the Emperor sits a hundred centuries undying on the golden throne there is only war.

Coming soon.

Appropriate context. Fanfiction, you know you want it.

The Necrons seem to have failed entirely to self improve. Ironically the Tyranids are probably closest to an unfriendly AI despite being organic. They improve themselves in response to problems. They don't love you or hate you, they're just hungry, and you're made of organic matter they'd like to use for something else.
