A hyper-realistic, ultra-detailed Warhammer 40k style illustration depicting the Necrontyr before biotransference. A dying Necrontyr warrior stands on a scorched, ash-grey desert under a dim, poisonous star. His elongated, frail, skeletal humanoid body wrapped in ancient segmented armor, cracked and worn by radiation. His eyes glow with faint sickly light, showing pain, envy, and resolve. In the sky above, enormous dark monolithic structures loom — proto-necron tomb complexes. In the distance, radiant, godlike silhouettes of the C'tan shimmer like living stars, cold and predatory. Storm clouds of cosmic dust swirl across the horizon. The mood is tragic, epic, and fateful. High contrast lighting, sharp details, atmospheric depth, volumetric light rays, intricate textures on armor and skin, dramatic composition. Album title 'Жить чтоб умереть — умереть чтоб победить' engraved in ancient Necrontyr runes along the bottom.
