I never mentioned that Pariahs could become necron lords. More of those who are present as a commander or those who speak for a necron lord. While it has been proven that Necron lords are capable (but barely) of speech, as proven in Dawn of War: SoulStorm but for those who are incapable of such things require a pariah to talk for them. So you don't really need to gather an army which would take millenia when your Lord has already done that already. Now i know that your probably thinking "yeah but being dragged everywhere just for the sake of talking to the enemy is kinda lame" and thats true but that isn't alway the way it goes. In those rare, rare.....ok, extremely rare moments, a Pariah can fall into random fits of emotion (much like the crazed Flayed Ones) that it might of had in its previouse life or flashes of memories that should have been wiped clean of there brain. Often moments of these "malfunctions" can drive a Pariah insane, often leading to there extermination or shut down untill this fault can be fixed by the now ever dwindling technologies of the Necrotyre (such technologies needen't be waisted on a single "un-pure" necron). But, and this is just a personal theory, what if the Pariah (Lord, Flayed One, etc.) became independent? I know, I know, such a thing happening to a mindless, if not now insane creature is thought to be impossable but this is fanon, is it not? Now the whole situation of "ok then, but how would the Pariah escape the tomb world or the C'tans wrath?, let alone find a place to make there home and if somehow they did all of this, what in the name of khorn would they do next?" and while this is a question that no doubt will be have to be answered, the answer I leave to those would would much prefer to create there own.
