yeah, but it still doesn't mean the Precursors can make themselves emotionless and soulless. Basically those are the only ways to prevent demons and the Chaos God from manifesting.
The exception to this is the Emperor of Mankind, who is essentially a Immaterial God in a human body in the Material realm. I mean, he is the incarnation of all the souls of human psychic potential of pre-history.
What I meant by the Necrons being too different from the Precursors was not that they lacked a conscious, but that they lacked their soul identity, with being the object that gives individuality and emotions. Necrons had souls, but once they became necrons, that soul basically got reduced to little more than a primal life force. That enables their ability to survive the Halos and their distinction from the Precursors.
The Precursors are too god-like for their own good.
I compared the conscious mind to the soul, perhaps I should've been more clear.
What I mean to say is that the Precursors operated on a cosmic clock called Living Time, life's time of interaction with the cosmoes. Consciousness and the universe are one in Halo. The Necrons would need to be feral and have not the slightest inch of conscious thought to survive a Neural Weapon.
Still, its always tricky when you compare God races. Chaos Gods are invincible unless the emotions of the material world are corrupted or destroyed somehow. Precursors are invincible to...well to everything except a Neural Weapon.
The only way 40K could defeat the Precursors is if they had a Neural Weapon, which no other universe except Halo has, so that's not possible (unless the Tyranids hijack technology like the Flood of course). And the only way Halo can defeat the Chaos Gods is if they sterilized the 40K universe of emotions.
Of the two, which is most likely to happen? 40K with a weapon outside of their control, or Halo wiping out all life in the 40K universe?

Yes, indeed. Ground battles usually end in Halo's favor, its just space battles are a little trickier.
Forerunner ground troops are the strongest i ever saw in sciencefiction :)
