Ihm'Hek'Tarra Dynasty

The Ihm'Hek'Tarra Dynasty is a small Necron Dynasty in the Eastern Fringes of the Milky Way Galaxy. They are in the outer fringes of the Sautekh Dynasty but due to their small size have been able to avoid conflict. They are known for the use of overwhelming infantry force but also the innovative god-machines that the dynasty developed to deal with Imperial Titans. Phaeron Ahmehotep leads his forces from the front, fighting alongside his Immortal Guard.

A unique note about the Ihm'Hek'Tarra dynasty is that they fought for the C'Tan during the War in Heaven when most of the Necron race rebelled against their masters. They fought against the Sauthek Dynasty but lost to the might of their foes. The only reason that Ahmehotep, his Crownworld, and the remainder of his Dynasty were not wiped from existence was due to the respect Imotekh had for Ahmehotep. Ahmehotep only fought for the C'Tan because they saved his Dynasty from destruction against the onslaught of the Old Ones and he was honorbound to fight for them in return. Imotekh allowed for Ahmehotep to continue ruling his Dynasty as an independent ruler but must answer any call to arms by Imotekh just as he had done for the C'Tan. He now leads his small dynasty against the Imperium, fighting against the Praetorian Sons Chapter for control over the most northern border of Ultramar.

Characters

 * Ahmehotep, the King of Blades: Ahmehotep is Phaeron of the Ihm'Hek'Tarra Dynasty and rules over a small realm neighboring the Sautekh Dynasty. Ahmehotep is known as the King of Blades due to his near unrivaled skill in single combat and the way in which his Immortal Guard are armed and perform in combat. He is also known as the Ascendant because he is a highly ambitious and power hungry lord, almost as driven as his neighbors of the Sautekh Dynasty but constrained by his Dynasty's small size. He hopes to see his Dynasty ascend the ladder of power once again but bares no ill will against the Sautekh Dynasty for crushing his own, for Ahmehotep understood the resentment and wished that he too could have fought for his Dynasty's freedom but he would be unable to live with himself if he had broken his vow to the C'Tan. He sees Imotekh as both a great asset as an ally as well as considering him to be an example for himself, for the King of Blades aspires to be like the Stormlord in that he wishes to advance his realm and subjugate all races that stand against him. Despite being a feared enemy, Ahmehotep is considered to be a very honorable warrior and leader by both allies and enemies. He is known for respecting admirable foes and willing to face opponents in single combat should he be challenged, never one to act dishonorably or make use of snipers or assassins to kill enemy leaders. He wishes to defeat his foes head on and even Imperial Commanders respect this xenos lord. Ahmehotep is also a highly effective strategist and this is perhaps the most important reason Imotekh spared him and the remainder of his dynasty due to the role he can play in the future wars against the remaining Eldar and humans.
