Here is some food for thought. The C'tan are the oldest living creatures in the galaxy. They supposedly came into existence during the Big Bang. This galaxy could have it's own set of C'tan. These star gods would naturally have their own servants, but these servants would not be the Necrons as they are native to the Milky Way. They could have brought the C'tan into material existence via a very different method. Fully organic vessels for instance. How the C'tan changed these servants can also b different. So you could have C'tan whos followers are radically different than the Necrons.
