Aka /yourdudes/. A huge part of the hobby is creating stories and lore. It can be about your army, a large group of factions, or smaller stories like a single model that gained elevated status.
Let’s rap about all these cool interesting stories.

I’m in the process of gathering a custom Necron dynasty named Iataret (though I’m on hiatus right now lol). Its thing is that it’s fairly isolated and mostly keeps to several worlds; on their crownworld and around temples offworld, they cultivate specific flowers known as “Iataret flowers”.
The backstory is that, during the Necrontyr days, one of their early phaerons had a daughter that died very young. So, the phaeron have issued an order to plant her favourite flower all over the planet in her memory. In time, this has become a regular tradition to plant and care for those flowers.
After the biotransference, the original story of these flowers has been forgotten, but these Necrons still remember that they are important for some reason and continue to care for them.
I really like this. The forgotten aspect of the ritual speaks to the tone I appreciate in 40k.
