Neither of the Wars of Secession had them as robots, they were in flesh both times.
The First was ended when they began the war against the races of the Old Ones.
The Second was ended when the C'tan showed up and offered them immortality.

are you implying that, in his dementia, he sees Obyron as a pet dog and not as a bodyguard?
i can now envisage a haunting scenelette-
------------------------------
Zandrekh and Obyron are stood on the crest of a hill amidst the smoke and flames of battle. Zahndrekh turns to Obyron and in a deep metallic monotonous voice, all you hear is-
"who's a good boy, who wants the ball?", he proceeds to lob the resurrection orb an impressive distance, "go fetch Oby! Fetch!"
(I imitated stephen hawking saying that for effect)

That's not what I said. What I said was that the Great Sleep was after they had been turned into machines. This means that during the war against the Old Ones after they had been made machine, he would have known exactly what he was and thus would have had the resurrection orb. It was the Great Sleep after this which damaged him and caused him to believe that he was back in the Wars of Secession, and thus still flesh.
