We'll Be Back

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

The Necrons have a remarkable ablility to repair themselves; in the game, this is reflected in a Special Rule known as "We'll Be Back!". This gives the Necrons incredible staying power against all but the most powerful weapons, making them an enemy dreaded by all races in the galaxy of Warhammer 40,000. It is often said amongst commanders of more orthodox armies that the Necrons are an overpowered force on the battle field, and due to the fact even a basic warrior can tear through the strongest tanks in the game this is a fair argument to make.

The Necrons are highly reminiscent of the cyborgs in the Terminator films, as evidenced by the machine-like qualities, the skeletal appearance and the "We'll Be Back!" rule, a play on Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature line: "I'll be back."
