i thought they needed the bodies because their natural lifespans were short as hell and their bodies were frail from being cooked up by radiation from their star to the point it caused irreversible genetic damage and mutations
you don't need to control every single one of them if you control the one who controls them, that's what makes the deceiver c'tan earn their name that they would just use the silent king as a puppet to control the entirety of the necron race or whatever is left of it in those walking android coffins
think of it like some shady space person coming along and promising your people long life and vitality through cyborg bodies only to realize there is barely anything left of your people inside the metal casings meaning you lost what you tried to save while trying to prolong their lives
i don't know i liked the parallel of a entity named c'tan(satan) offering them something too good to be true and them taking it only to learn what the meaning of soul is after losing it and paying what you tried to save as the price for that, fits the grim dark theme like a glove
