Annihilation Barge

The Annihilation Barge is a hovering weapons-platform of the Necrons, its crescent hull skimming silent above ruin and ash. Where lesser dynastic craft ferry warriors, this machine exists only to kill. Mounted upon its spine is a twin tesla weapon whose discharge does not strike a single foe but leaps hungrily from body to body, each arc birthing another, so that a lone bolt of azure fire may unmake a dozen soldiers before it gutters out. A single deathless gunner presides over the firing, its calculations older than the species it butchers. The barge asks nothing, tires never, and feels no fear as it glides into the teeth of enemy guns, absorbing fusillades that would gut a mortal tank and answering with lightning. Whole battle-lines have been swept from existence by squadrons of these craft, drifting in eerie formation while the sky screams white above them. To face one is to learn that the dead do not merely endure, they wage patient, methodical extermination.
