>Ethermancers, Harbingers of the Storm, Crypteks who's trade is weather manipulation, are normally employ by Overlords to call upon their enemies cataclysmic hurricanes, terenchial sideways downpours, and living lightning.
>In this battle against the Outsider however, their role was inverted.
>Ethermancers used any influence their tools gave them over the planet to calm the raging magnetic firestorms shredding sky and land.
>While the Ethermancers made ground travel possible, it by no means made it safe.
>Like ripples in a bucket splashing over the side, all it took for the storms to break through the Ethermancers' imposed calm would be a crossing of multiple fronts.
>When it did, legions would vanish in balefire as their internals began to melt away.
>Some vanished translating away for repair, others vanished following self-destruction protocols set to trigger following unrepairable damage.
>Those translating away for repair didn't even have a guarantee of salvation, as the translation process depend on the same interstitial relays that our failing communications did.
>If a Necron's translation was interrupted, their signal would be scattered on dimensions beyond reality, left in the endless voids never again to know material form.
