>the necron foot soldiers are literally only different in the fact that necrons do it better
yeah and the crux of that used to be that the necrons literally werent people anymore but now it just makes the mechanicus look shit
so the necron motivation is reduced to just surviving, which is fine since its the motivation of more factions than it isnt in 40k, but they could just go fly off beyond the galaxy's edge to do this and not have to worry about anything since they have no reason not to other than vanity and a desire to control the galaxy because its the galaxy and therefore must be intrinsically important for reasons
whatever way you cut it i just dont see nucrons as anywhere near as interesting or unique as oldcrons. They really are just the imperium of robots except at least the imperium of man has to live on planets, has superstition and chaos will necessarily follow them wherever they went
