|  I think that both men and women were made into Necrons. But as they are now Necrons, they have lost any free thought, indivuality, and gender, and so are now neither man nor women. Hope this helped!

| So you're saying that when the race was purged by the C'tan the women just died and only the men became the Necron Warriors? There is no individuality between Warriors and I don't think that the C'tan would have left the women out just because they would have to had made them boobs!

| Conscript | i was thinking more along the lines of the current lord models with metal breasts. since these models are clearly masculine, id imagine a female lord to have a feminine bosy... most likely not in hindsight, but the thought of a lord with pointy things where its pectoral should be seemed silly. |

| The metal body would be the same for men and women of the Necrontyr race. Besides the Lords and Ladies, I doubt a Warrior even knows what sex he is let alone what he used to be...I doubt they even think about it at all.

| Nope, I suggest you re-read the Necron Codex. The C'tan feast on the bio-electrical currents which is classed as our "life force". Visions of a Sleeping God in the codex gives you further insight into this. Also, ask yourself this...if the C'tan ate souls then why is the Warp anethema to them?

Blog Entries: 4 | hmm good point... i'll look into that. but i've always known them to "harvest" and "feed on" "souls". and no one ever told me otherwise so the misconception may be widespread? EDIT: well the thing is, the warp isn't made up of souls parse. it's made up of a form of anti-real primordial energy / matter. souls have a reaction / representation in the warp, and psychic powers cause "ripples" in the warp ( what initially caused the psychic backlash of chaos and daemons and the "stirring up" of warp currents)

Blog Entries: 4 | Perhaps we are just applying our standards to a race that doesn't conform?Maybe they had male and female but who is to say that they looked different-perhaps the only differences were internal not external? Just theorizing? |

| Considering you're hard pressed to tell the difference between a male or female Eldar then you could be right. Androgenous freaks!!

| Have you ever looked at banshees versus striking scorpions, perhaps? There are definite distinctions between male and female quite similar to ours... Just take a look at the different guardian bodies and I'm sure you'll see some males and some females... Peturabo is right. Just because another species is humanoid doesn't mean they have the exact same organs we do. They might not even have the same reproduction method.

| Well, of course Eldar Females have boobs but besides that they look identical! As for the reproduction thing, Xenology makes it explicitly clear how Eldar reproduce such as the organs involved and the length of time it takes for an Eldar to do it...hence their small population (besides like due the Fall of course!).

| Skeletal Structure: M Vs. F *sweet Christ!!!* Has noone taken any human biology classes? Look at the Male Skeletal Structure Vs. the Female. Notice any differences? (hips on Fems are a little wider) So what difference *if any* would this make on a race that had been "molded" (for lack of better word) into a skeletal representation of themselves? Besides I think the flayed ones are chicks. *Bloody, sneaky, fast, wear the skins of their victims lol* BTW: I need this xenology also! first time I have heard of it. *Have pretty much ALL other codex's in pdf*
