nah the necrons we're giant pricks that are so evil that while the nobles live in technologically advanced pyramids their slaves live in mud huts, they were also dying of cancer and wanted to cure from the old ones the old ones said no, so they sold their souls to the ctan and started a war with the old ones
This war was so brutal it genuinely fucked up the warp

beating the shit out of the old ones with their new found immortal bodies and literal god allies, the old ones resorted to more and more drastic measures that fucked everything to the way it is now

The warp just used to be fairly calm and peaceful
necrons could never understand the warp
thats what gave old ones such a leg up

they could practically do anything

Well actually from the first chapter belakor like captured a mad prophet and forced him to predict events
So he probably forced the prophet to go through a bunch of scenarios to ensure the one he wanted
Because so far he stopped a bell from ringing, he had the mom somehow suddenly die through childbirth so she doesnt drown the child, and he somehow made archaon not die from a horse kick to the head

Build Medic and Veteran first.
Go to end of the brood brothers part of the manual, build the 2 sprinting bodies, use them to build agitators and knife fighters.
Then go to the page of sapper/comms and sniper/flamer. Build comms on sapper/comms body, build sapper on sniper/flamer body.
To get the most "natural poses" out of your 1 box Brood brothers unless you have a sprue of spare Cadian shock troopers.
Edit: consensus seems to be to skip knife fighter for 10 man. Do plan your list before you build

“Vectoriums of the 4th and 7th engage the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Lotan amidst the steaming jungles of Hesp. When the swarms deploy Toxicrenes and Venomthropes to poison the environment, the Death Guard respond with plague spells, virus bombs and daemonic diseases. With neither side willing to back down, the atmosphere of Hesp becomes ever more toxic until the jungles, and even the warring armies, are reduced to a gory, bubbling soup. The first Tyranid hive ship to taste this poisoned slurry recoils, its proboscis melting, and is bombarded into oblivion by the rest of its fleet. Hesp is left as an endless sea of toxic slime, too virulent for even the hive.”

How do you guys feel about board games that require companion apps?
