Reviewers
The Necrons sources we read, each counted once: tier lists, reviews of their own lists and written reviews. Their tiers are their own, put on our S to D scale by us (their top tier S, and so on down); we show how many gave each and their average.A reviewer who would rather not be counted: tell us and we take their letters out.
