1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,760
One of us had a faction who ruled for 65 million years, and the other had a faction who napped for 65 million years.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,000
Nepo babies.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,920
Dad, dad, god literally gave you psychic powers.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,520
I don't want to hear it, Mr. Primarch Man.

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,040
Who gave them powers? Who has the real nepotism?

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,040
No, they stole it. It's different.

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:41,040
The Emperor stole the power.

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,640
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to the Beginner to Expert podcast on law crimes.

9
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Today we are going back into some filthy Xeno lore with the Necron Dynasties.

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,320
Ooh, very spooky skeleton boys. Green, lots of green.

11
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,960
Probably a fan favourite for a lot of guys I know.

12
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,640
Eli has a particular passion for this faction.

13
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:12,440
But before we move on to talking about the Necron Dynasties and all their former glory and Skelly boys,

14
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,600
it is time for the question of the week, so I will pass it on to Colin.

15
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,800
I would be happy to go over the questions of the week I picked out.

16
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:30,200
So we had the hashtag loss Primarch, who was the loss Primarch from last week.

17
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,440
And I got a couple bangers.

18
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,920
I'm already feeling silly. This is not good.

19
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,400
Four of them are bangers. One of them I picked solely because it fuels my degeneracy.

20
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,720
So four out of five, I think I hit the mark. You all hit the mark.

21
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,080
One out of five, you hit the mark for me and the other three are going to hate me for it.

22
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:55,320
But that's OK. We'll start off with number one by Scowleazy.

23
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,680
The hashtag loss Primarch was...

24
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,560
That's what he called it.

25
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,800
...bearish menace.

26
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Because there ain't no way some bum named Iron Hands, who had iron hands,

27
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,520
the leader of the Iron Hands, whose ship is the Fist of Iron, is actually canon.

28
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,800
No, my boy.

29
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,680
Oh, look at how they massacre my boy like that.

30
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:25,720
Oh, shout out to Ferris Iron Hands, the Iron Hands man.

31
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,960
His iron hands are pretty cool if he has them.

32
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,040
They're pretty cool. His name is...

33
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,320
Oh, this hurts my soul.

34
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:37,000
I'm imagining him now on the Fist of Iron with his iron hands called Iron Hands Man,

35
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,440
eating his cereal, which are little iron hands.

36
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,840
Kellogg's brand, Iron Hand.

37
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Whilst listening to his favorite band, I like Iron Hands by the Iron Hands.

38
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,800
I am Iron Hands.

39
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,520
I am Iron Hands.

40
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,520
This wounds me. Wounds my soul.

41
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,440
The next one, and we'll just get the degenerate one out of the way now so you can all rest easy.

42
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,240
So hashtag lostprimarch, his name was pancreas and he got erased from history

43
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,720
because he found an STC that could create VTubers and he tried to replace his space marine lead.

44
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,320
I can see it.

45
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,320
I would in fact, the Hatsune Miku Marines would reign supreme.

46
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,440
I don't even know who that is. I'm assuming it's good.

47
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,800
I mean, when you say controversial.

48
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,360
It's great.

49
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,040
You said controversial, but yeah, I thought, oh, he's not gonna say Epstein or something like that.

50
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,240
No, no, no, no.

51
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,600
No, Jesus Christ.

52
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,880
No, I said degenerate.

53
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,400
The scale of law crimes, everyone.

54
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,040
You don't like that.

55
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,600
And it's all kind of like scum.

56
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,000
And how he's talking about.

57
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:43,500
God.

58
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:44,700
God.

59
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:48,600
As me and Eli in the middle just kind of looking awkwardly going, what is he on about?

60
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,440
I like people who pretend to be anime people.

61
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840
I'm not going to fucking be silent.

62
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,640
You need an adult.

63
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Moving on.

64
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,360
We move on from that one.

65
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,880
Now you need to think about what you've done.

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Moving from that one is.

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,000
Oh, that was by Joe Pippen.

68
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Pardon me.

69
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,000
I bet I know who you're a fan of.

70
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Moving on.

71
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Uncle Sam 1637 hashtag lost Primark.

72
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,280
The 11th Primarks name is Craig.

73
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,720
He was first for attending the Denny's Grand Slam and not fighting the Emperor.

74
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Bro, bro, I love the Denny's Grand Slam.

75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,400
The Denny's Grand Slam is amazing.

76
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,520
Oh, I have a quick story that related to Denny's.

77
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,400
It was when I was in like freshman year of college, it was a bunch of like a

78
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:44,920
lot of my Muslim friends when they were breaking fast and like very early in the morning,

79
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,200
like for sunrise, we would all they would all go to Denny's.

80
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,280
And a bunch of like all the rest of us would just go with because we're like,

81
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:52,920
let's hang out.

82
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,800
It's three in the morning.

83
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,480
We're in freshman year of college.

84
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,560
We have nothing better to do.

85
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,360
And yeah, that's the only time you can respectfully eat at Denny's.

86
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,960
So you'd see 20 people lined up outside of Denny's, half of which were Muslim and half

87
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,040
of which were high white trash white kids.

88
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,720
Just Google Denny's, they like pancakes with eggs and bacon.

89
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,000
That's right, baby.

90
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,120
What do you mean that's strange?

91
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,400
They're all breakfast foods.

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:17,800
What?

93
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,840
They're breakfast.

94
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:21,160
We don't really have pancakes with bacon.

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:21,960
Yeah.

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,800
I hear hard on that.

97
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,040
Yeah.

98
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,080
With fruit because we're not trying to ruin our veins.

99
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,080
We eat fruit, too.

100
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
We just have fruit as a side along with the side of.

101
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,520
You have syrup.

102
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,400
You don't have fruit.

103
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,200
You have syrup.

104
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:36,440
Yeah.

105
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,960
I think it sucks the fruit every time I have breakfast out.

106
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,880
You can put fruit on the pancake.

107
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,120
Yes.

108
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:42,760
That's the point.

109
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,160
This isn't.

110
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,200
You can put fruit and syrup.

111
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,400
But no bacon.

112
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,000
Why would bacon ever be near that?

113
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,040
Yeah.

114
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,160
Why would you put bacon?

115
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,360
Because it's a breakfast food.

116
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Breakfast food.

117
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:53,320
Yeah.

118
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,040
Yeah.

119
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,720
It's more like a dessert, isn't it?

120
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,440
It's like.

121
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,480
What bacon is this?

122
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,840
It's a sweet thing to have with your.

123
00:05:58,840 --> 00:05:59,080
Yeah.

124
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,120
Now I'm switching sides.

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,320
It's a sweet thing to have with your breakfast.

126
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,200
It's just a card to have with your breakfast.

127
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Bacon and pancakes.

128
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,440
I've never heard of that combo.

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,640
Somebody pull up the clip of Jake the dog singing,

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,560
make a pancake, make a bacon pancake.

131
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,080
I mean, make a pancake.

132
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,960
That's what I'm going to make.

133
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Listen, a full English breakfast has a lot of these things,

134
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,800
but not pancakes in it.

135
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,120
OK.

136
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:24,760
Oh, pancakes.

137
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,960
It's not crazy, but it's just.

138
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,440
Sweet dinner food.

139
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,080
But in that song, it's in a fantasy universe.

140
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,200
Therefore, it gets a pass.

141
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:32,680
That's why.

142
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,640
Moving on before we take the debate.

143
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,120
Welcome to the macrons, everyone.

144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Necron.

145
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,280
Two more quick questions.

146
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,080
This is like a whistle over.

147
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,400
I know five is a bit much, but the rest will go quicker.

148
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,720
Assuming you don't get sidetracked with bacon again.

149
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,840
Zach M 5485 says hashtag lost Primark.

150
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,280
His name was Sigmar and he was kicked out because Ems was jealous

151
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,520
that he was doing a better job at dealing with chaos.

152
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,680
And he owns a Warhammer.

153
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,440
And he does actually have a Warhammer.

154
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,880
That's kind of an indisputable leg up he's got.

155
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,960
I've got to admit, I do like the beard as well.

156
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,880
But beard is also quite good.

157
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,320
Iggy should have a beard.

158
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,200
Although the only thing.

159
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,640
What's up, B-Lin?

160
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,320
I miss the days where Warhammer fantasy wasn't confirmed to be a different universe from 40k.

161
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,240
People got angy, though.

162
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,440
I will say, though, that the only issue I take is that Sigmar is being depicted as a mere Primark

163
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,280
in this case, which is simply false.

164
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:30,680
True.

165
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,000
True.

166
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,800
That is heresy.

167
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,160
And for the last one, Jack Smith 1666.

168
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Hashtag lost Primark.

169
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Eldrad Uthron.

170
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,880
On day 542, the other Primarks realized he was not one of them.

171
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,240
I just like the mental image that gives.

172
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Oh, it's naughty, dude.

173
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Yeah, you got these like 20 or 19 other gigantic massive brick shit houses of men.

174
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,520
That an elf has just sent in.

175
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,320
Yeah, it's just Rogaldorn carrying him on his shoulders because he's so small and compact.

176
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160
You're the only small brother.

177
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Farver has need of us.

178
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,680
Your legs are not thick enough.

179
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240
You are not structurally sound enough.

180
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Enough protein, brother.

181
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,960
I just I just like the mental image of that one.

182
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,840
Eldrad with his brittle bones now as well.

183
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,960
He's just not hacking it.

184
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,520
He's just having a family photograph and you can only see like the top half of his head

185
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,920
and the bottom of the frame while all of them are standing up.

186
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,560
He has it framed in his room and he feels crap when he looks at the frame photo.

187
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:36,280
Oh my god.

188
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,560
Oh my god.

189
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:38,280
Good times.

190
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:38,840
Good times.

191
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,440
Then I stabbed Vulcan.

192
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,640
He didn't even do it though.

193
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,920
It was a help stab.

194
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,480
He tries to try Mark as well.

195
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaking of help, though, we do need you beautiful listeners help for our next question of the

196
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:55,880
week.

197
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:02,200
Colin, would you mind telling us what the next question of the week is to get the get some

198
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600
spicy comments going on that one?

199
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,800
Of course.

200
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,360
You rule the next question of the week is you rule your own dynasty.

201
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,080
What is their name and what do they specialize in?

202
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,400
Hashtag dynasty.

203
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,520
We're bringing it back.

204
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,200
We're talking about the necrons.

205
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,840
That was the first word uttered on this channel was maybe the worst.

206
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,440
We're bringing it back, baby.

207
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,640
Yeah, it is the eternal meme of law crimes and it's all Colin's fault.

208
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,680
So there you go.

209
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:37,480
A good example would be Remenstein, which essentially the entire dynasty would be based

210
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480
off of Remy from Ratatouille.

211
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,920
Because he is the dictator that we all know that he truly is.

212
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,160
And essentially they would just throw food and cutlery at other races and try and eat

213
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,400
them much like a Grom the Punch feel if anyone knows their fantasy of war too.

214
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,600
I don't know why, but my mind went to Ren and Stimpy at first.

215
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,040
And honestly, I think that I think that would be much more horrifying than that.

216
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,120
More horrifying than anything 40K has.

217
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,120
What's the rat from Ratatouille?

218
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,640
He was like the slightly bigger one.

219
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,640
He's like a bit more muscled up.

220
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,160
I've never seen Ratatouille, so I don't know.

221
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,360
You haven't seen anything.

222
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Oh my God.

223
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,200
I've seen Star Wars.

224
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,800
There were a few comments saying they were surprised that you were berating me for liking

225
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,480
Return of the Jedi more than Empire.

226
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,080
And they're like, Colin has seen a film.

227
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,640
Hooray.

228
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,140
All right.

229
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,600
That doesn't really mean anything.

230
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,480
I've seen Star Wars.

231
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,200
That means I've been alive in the past 50 years.

232
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,240
That should be school curriculum at this point.

233
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,280
I honestly could probably get away with it in a history class for a cultural analysis or

234
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,240
something.

235
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Would have been something I would do in finals week when I'm done teaching if I stuck with it.

236
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,320
I know some of you.

237
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,040
I know some of you Necron homebrewers out there, so I'm expecting a three page novel in my comments.

238
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:51,900
Yes.

239
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:53,660
Robots.

240
00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:54,520
There's no groove on Instagram.

241
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,240
He's got some some cool stuff.

242
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,200
There are robots.

243
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,080
I'm involved.

244
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,720
I expect a whole lot of garbage viewers.

245
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,120
Don't disappoint me.

246
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Necrons don't need a pancreas.

247
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:07,000
So stay away from it, people.

248
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,240
Stay away from the diabetes, though.

249
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,840
You have much better outlets of trash related to me.

250
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaking of that, though, we begin today's episode, though, on the Necrons and I'll be

251
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,000
taking it away.

252
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:21,800
Is everyone ready?

253
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,680
I'm excited.

254
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:27,560
Not gonna lie, I thought you were gonna like say a sponsor there for a second.

255
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,600
My entire life is sponsored, essentially.

256
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,720
I'm not even a real person.

257
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:42,280
But speaking of people who are not real people anymore, the Necrons, boys, our story is a

258
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:42,780
macro.

259
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,120
There's no micro anymore.

260
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,560
They are gone.

261
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:54,280
But for some people who may not get the context of that joke, we'll be diving into the Necrons

262
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:59,160
lore and their story begins a little bit far back.

263
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,800
So not just obviously, it's called Warhammer 40k.

264
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,360
We are not going back 40,000 years.

265
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,920
We are going back 60 million years before the modern timeline.

266
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,280
This is the very birthplace of Warhammer lore itself.

267
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,120
And this begins with the Necron tier.

268
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,920
And they live on a kind of crappy home world that contains it does have some interest to

269
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,760
it like vast deserts, not deserts, deserts, vast denny's.

270
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,040
It's how bad it was.

271
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,040
Pancakes have scarred me.

272
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,040
But they live in like a desert world.

273
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,040
And you'll probably guess there's a lot of like ancient Egypts.

274
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,160
If you're a Warhammer fantasy fan, or you come from Total War, they're obviously a little

275
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,200
bit similar to the Tomb Kings.

276
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Sorry, a little bit very similar to the Tomb Kings.

277
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,200
A little bit rewritten to be the Tomb Kings.

278
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,200
A little bit.

279
00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:00,520
But their home world is a sort of vast desert place, very much ancient Egypt, lots of old

280
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160
creatures, scorpions, all those kind of things.

281
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,520
And the Necron tier themselves are a humanoid race.

282
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:15,000
I think if you see a Necron or what was back in this time, a Necron tier, one of flesh,

283
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,320
they just kind of look like elongated people.

284
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,440
Their skin is sometimes gray and they do retain a lot of the similar features of an actual

285
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Necron.

286
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,520
It is very close.

287
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,280
And the Necron tier from their earliest days, they have it bad because they live under a

288
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,680
super irradiated sun that basically ruins their life.

289
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:38,200
So the Necron tier, they do sort of develop and grow.

290
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:43,480
Obviously this is 60 million years before even humanity was primordial soup.

291
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:50,840
And they suffer from regular sort of disgusting growth of cancers all over their bodies.

292
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,880
It was a bad time.

293
00:13:52,680 --> 00:14:00,360
And their entire culture was essentially fragile and dying of old age was not heard of really.

294
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,920
And the Necron tier, obviously dying young, they would learn to venerate death.

295
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,480
Death was pretty much everywhere around them.

296
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,000
Their gods that they created were aspects of death.

297
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,440
They had great mausoleums.

298
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,400
There was an extremely strict hierarchical structure for the Necron tier.

299
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:23,080
For some reason, I've just had that image of Danny DeVito in Always Sunny going,

300
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,760
suicide is pretty badass.

301
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:30,360
Yeah, definitely not the image of emerging into death like Danny DeVito emerging from the couch

302
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,880
sweating and not wearing any clothes.

303
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,600
But the Necron tier, very much death was, everything was around death.

304
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,560
It was inevitable and it wouldn't be long.

305
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:48,600
And their life was pretty painful because again, living under constant radiation, sickness and the sun, pretty bad time.

306
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,160
The Necron tier though would eventually die.

307
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:57,400
They'd eventually like us sort of develop technology and they finally would cross paths with the old ones.

308
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,720
And this was a psychically gifted race who were seemingly immortal.

309
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,520
They're somewhat mysterious even to this day.

310
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:12,360
The description of them a bit hard to kind of gauge, but essentially they were way beyond what the Necron tier were.

311
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,160
But the Necron tier were like, cool, you know, firm it.

312
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,040
That's cool.

313
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280
But they still had a lot of experience.

314
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,120
Cool, you know, firm it. That's cool. But they still wanted to do their own thing.

315
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,120
So they built an empire over many millennia, built on different worlds.

316
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,360
They spread out across the galaxy.

317
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,760
But this empire was fragile.

318
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:37,240
Obviously, it was a warring case of different hierarchical and dynasties and different people clashing.

319
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:45,080
And it was on the brink of civil war until their silent king decided to declare war on the old ones for quote unquote,

320
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:53,160
the secrets of immortal life as the Necrons were incredibly sorry, the Necron tier, excuse me, were incredibly jealous.

321
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Unfortunately, the Necron tier got crunked.

322
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,520
They did not. I know they didn't perform well.

323
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,720
They had good technology, but the old ones just completely outmaneuvered them.

324
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,920
And we're as I guess we were like a race of emperors in terms of just psychic might.

325
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,320
So you're not you're not winning this one, guys.

326
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,200
Sorry.

327
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,560
It was just pain.

328
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,120
It was it was the call the ambulance for not for me in the reverse, essentially.

329
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:24,680
And the Necron tier were imprisoned upon their homeworld again underneath the irradiated sun.

330
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:31,160
But essentially all the Necron tier that were spread out throughout the galaxy are now essentially cramped into one place.

331
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:37,880
And as you can imagine, the Necron tier, they are somewhat similar to humans and very similar to humans.

332
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,360
Actually, that's points out much about the law.

333
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,920
They were very resentful of their exile and imprisonment.

334
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,120
And during this time, they sort of found strange readings around their son.

335
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:59,240
So they designed advanced technology to detect and then eventually converse with these ancient creatures known as the Kitarn or Sitan.

336
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,920
I'm not sure which one it's meant to be.

337
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,440
I'm going to go with Kitarn.

338
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:09,160
And the Necron tier would eventually build living metal necrodermis bodies for this Kitarn.

339
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,800
Just a slight add on, the Kitarn were beings of energy.

340
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,920
So that's why they weren't perceived in a normal way.

341
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,800
And also they didn't perceive the universe in a normal way, too.

342
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:26,520
But the Kitarn once were like sort of simple, sun devouring, you know, energy creatures.

343
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,840
They were not being fully sentient.

344
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,960
It kind of shocked them when they were now put in a body and they're sort of like, oh, I have eyes now.

345
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:43,560
And the flavor of sun was like it's like a good, solid pasta, like you have maybe in your student and you're cooking the pasta reliably.

346
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,560
But it's like it's not enough.

347
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,280
You know what I mean?

348
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:55,640
Like after a while, you get sick of it and they developed a new flavor and a new taste something which was the suffering and energy of life itself.

349
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,560
And so they began to manipulate the Necron tier.

350
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:07,880
They came in, they transformed their Necrodermis bodies into the guise of their death gods, which I think was incredibly manipulative.

351
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:14,680
And they were there on the Necron tier homeworld and they said, we have an idea, an offer.

352
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:21,000
We can give you new bodies, ones better than your weak and cancer-ridden ones.

353
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:28,440
And we can declare war on the old ones together and basically get our vengeance because they also had a history with the old ones.

354
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:37,320
The Necron tier, you know, they had no choice really and they agree and they undergo something called the biotransference, which is a really big part of their law.

355
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,320
And we will talk about that later in more detail.

356
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:51,000
Essentially, this would transform the Necron tier race as they marched through these like flaming pyre factory incinerator machines and they emerged as the Necrons.

357
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,040
They were cast in Necrodermis bodies.

358
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:59,160
They were stronger, but their life essence had essentially been devoured.

359
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:08,200
And I think of it in a way where the information of the Necron tier was sort of downloaded into like metal bodies.

360
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,400
And so only some of them retained their personalities.

361
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,840
And then all of the now Necrons, so the entire Necron tier have died.

362
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:28,920
And now the Necrons, they find themselves under the command protocols of the Silent King, who in turn is now forced, essentially he has no choice now to follow the superpowered up Kitan.

363
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:36,680
And this is where the war in heaven begins with the, you know, everyone essentially wanted vengeance on the old ones now.

364
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,400
And the war in heaven, we have talked about the war in heaven a little bit.

365
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,640
That's one of our first episodes ever.

366
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,080
It's a massive conflict.

367
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:50,440
There's much ebb and flow throughout the, we don't even know if it's millennial or possibly millions of years long.

368
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:59,880
But you end up with the Necrons fighting the old ones and then even various races created by the old ones, such as Colin's favorite, the Eldari or Eldar.

369
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,800
They sort of found their birth during this time.

370
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,000
And obviously they'll be around for quite a lot longer.

371
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:19,160
And this all sort of builds up to where eventually the Silent King enacts a million year long revenge plan by creating in quote galaxy breaking weapons to turn upon the Kitan.

372
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:26,360
When the Kitan have basically almost won the war, they're essentially fighting with each other because they're like they're greedy and evil things.

373
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,720
And this shattered the Kitan into shards.

374
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:38,440
And the Necrons now like, yeah, we've got revenge, but essentially they don't create new Necrons because there's only a finite amount.

375
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,720
And they realized with the rise of the Eldar coming, it was impossible to beat them.

376
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,840
They knew the Eldar would rule the galaxy for a very long time.

377
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:54,600
And so they entered into their long stasis sleep, which they which they had been missing for for much of the human timeline.

378
00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:01,400
And they wanted to let the galaxy heal, too. And obviously, hopefully let the age of the Eldar pass into ruin.

379
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,560
After I will see we have talked about this before.

380
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,600
I will admit after 60 million years of rule by the Eldar.

381
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,520
So, Andy, I'm not sure you can.

382
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,720
Very good. Good.

383
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Yeah, I'm not sure you can.

384
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,680
Glad you mentioned that.

385
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,400
Yeah. So at most 10,000 years under humanity.

386
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,320
But this would the Necrons are not out.

387
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,560
You know, I mean, they've they've gone down, but they've got back up now because after 60 million years.

388
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:29,080
In the 41st millennium, the tombs underneath thousands of worlds have begun to stir.

389
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,160
And finally, the Necrons have begun to awaken.

390
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,440
Is there any other sort of questions or any sort of thought anyone wants to share at that point?

391
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,360
The only thing is, when you said about how the Catan consider suffering to be like a lovely pastor.

392
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Some reason that combined with like when the Necrons first go into those big furnaces and they come out.

393
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:58,520
Come out just like Zahra going, hmm, just like a mama used to make like something about the Catan being like, yeah, this was amazing.

394
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:01,240
The Dolmio advert.

395
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,400
Oh, Necrons source. Yum, yum.

396
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:10,200
Essentially that the entire race is a pastor source now they've consumed, which is very dark saying it.

397
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,720
But obviously, this is the grim future.

398
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,320
Colin's got some thoughts on the Eldar coming up.

399
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,640
You know, I would I would think I think I'll just set a nice groundwork now.

400
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,320
You know, if any faction, aside from the elder, had to win, I'm OK with it being the Necrons.

401
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,520
It was as long as it's one of one of the armies whose traces back to the war in heaven.

402
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,720
I think I'd be happy.

403
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,760
You know, I'd be content at least total victory today.

404
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,800
I've already won.

405
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,240
All right, let's settle down, buddy.

406
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,280
Babies of the 40K universe.

407
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:49,480
One one of us had a faction who ruled for 65 million years and the other had a faction who napped for 65 million years.

408
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,800
Neppo babies that literally gave you psychic powers.

409
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,200
I don't want to hear it, Mr. Primarch man.

410
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,800
Who gave them who has the real nepotism?

411
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:01,240
No, they stole it.

412
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,040
It's different.

413
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,160
Emperor stole the power.

414
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,840
So you're a faction of thieves who can't do anything by themselves is what I'm hearing.

415
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:07,800
Neppo baby.

416
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,600
I call that inheritance.

417
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:25,000
Well, speaking of more staying on with the Necrons, particularly because they are they are one, I think, probably one of the more better ranges of people are listening or you're new, if you like collecting.

418
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,040
Well, how much stuff Necrons pro one, the most beginner friendly races to collect.

419
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,000
And then also that design is pretty badass as well.

420
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,840
Like the death mass, you know, the basic skulls and all that stuff.

421
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:43,960
And again, if you've like seen things like Terminator is essentially there's a there's a heavy incline on Terminator vibes in this one.

422
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:51,080
But speaking of taking a more now, you've made me think Necrons going to their big sleep and just going, I'll be back.

423
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,080
Yeah, they literally said that.

424
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,800
The Silent King probably whispered it, though, like, I'll be back.

425
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:03,080
You know, just like so it's a one guy is like, well, so I have to like say that to someone else.

426
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,000
Like, and then it spreads on by the end of it. Everyone's like misinterpreted.

427
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:17,480
It's funny. But speaking of more juicy, detailed Necron law, though, I'll pass over to Eli as we turn into the expert section.

428
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,080
Take it away.

429
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,840
Q Egyptian music, faith from black Sarah Connor steps out onto the Egyptian sands.

430
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,840
The pyramid is in the background.

431
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:27,880
All right.

432
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,080
Well, yes, we will be taking back 65.

433
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:44,280
We will be taking back 65 million years ago to the days of old and the days of flesh for the Necron tier people who, as I said, lived in complete and other misery for a very long time.

434
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,960
Many generations passed as they live for it would appear about 20 to 30 years.

435
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,960
It never seems to be explicitly stated how long it was.

436
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,920
But this lifespan will change.

437
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:04,520
And it is it does get a little hard to understand, but you have to look at it from their eyes, not our eyes in the concept of shortness.

438
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,800
Yes, their home world was plagued by radiation star.

439
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,360
And this would evolve into them thinking that stars were kind of like malevolent beings that had demons.

440
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:16,560
And like the stars would eat the people and send demons down.

441
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:32,880
So they would later end up sacrificing people to the stars in what was called a red harvest in which these outcasts from societies would round up a bunch of people and they would just like bring them to the furnace and they'd all be sacrificed to the star every once in a while.

442
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,720
So that maybe they can get like an extra year or two of life or something.

443
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,840
And the star won't be particularly mean this year.

444
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:45,200
And they would do that even after they would take to the stars and inhabit new planets.

445
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:52,680
But yes, the very Egyptian inspired, as we said before, they worshiped kind of gods of death who would sort of go more into myth and legends.

446
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:59,280
And it would more evolve into like ancestor worship and pharaoh or pharaoh worship and royalty worship in the end.

447
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,480
These stones and stuff were ancient and sacred because they were the only things that lasted.

448
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:14,880
Well, the people died in these mausoleums and they basically lived in tombs and they were just passengers passing through the life onto the next of oblivion.

449
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,920
Whatever the afterworld was thought to be.

450
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,440
They use cubits to measure. That's a little that's cool.

451
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,480
I think that's fun.

452
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:36,720
But even as they progressed in technology, the commoners still lived in mud shacks as they did not have the same level of sentience as a noble whose royal hecka was grand and pristine.

453
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,840
They were essentially gods compared to the peasants.

454
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:50,080
The peasants and lower classes and even like soldiers and stuff were seen as tools. And according to sacred texts, they were literally less than the nobles.

455
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,320
The nobles, like I said, had a higher state of being.

456
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,440
Their consciousness was completely different.

457
00:26:54,440 --> 00:27:00,640
It's almost as if the nobles were a completely different species from the peasantry and the lower beings.

458
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,320
But as we said, they took to the stars and they're living metal ships.

459
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,240
The ships were slower than light speed, so they were very, very slow to get to other galaxies.

460
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:29,840
But thankfully, this necro dermis living metal that they discovered, I don't remember how I think it was just native to their planet, made it so that these ships could self-repair on the way because necro dermis is basically an organic metal that is alive and it can just rapidly repair and flow like liquid and fix itself as it goes.

461
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:39,440
So the tomb ships were able to repair themselves as they went through the long, long sleep in their tomb ships as they entered stasis and would eventually touch down on new planets.

462
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:51,440
Unfortunately, these new planets would not be much better for quite a while because within their DNA was inlaid of these cancers and radiation poisonings and it kind of just stuck with them forever.

463
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:57,760
It was maybe like they evolved to only live to a certain amount of time and that just kind of never changed for quite a while.

464
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,280
So even on these planets, their lifespans may be changed from 20 to 30 to like 40 years.

465
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,240
So it was a little bit better, it was like half of an average human lifespan probably.

466
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,560
But you know, it still wasn't great.

467
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,720
And in this time, they met with the old ones who deserved everything they got.

468
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,720
Which we'll talk about soon.

469
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,760
The old ones talked to the Triarch.

470
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,840
I don't know if the Silent King was actually around yet or not, I think he was.

471
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,240
But they more have the Silent King is like a position.

472
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:39,200
So other over many different times in Necron and Nocrontyr history, other people have inherited the Silent King mantle and like different dynasties have had it too.

473
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,840
Yeah.

474
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,720
And the the Triarch, I should say, is the ruling governing body of the Necrontyr.

475
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:51,040
It's three dudes and the Silent King was known as Silent because he only would communicate through the Triarch.

476
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,880
And he would never really talk face to face to anyone.

477
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,560
But they met with the old ones.

478
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:08,320
They saw these like alien species who were living in constant paradise, basically, who had immortality and vulnerability from the majority of the things in the galaxy.

479
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,120
And they said, please, sir, just a smidgen of life.

480
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,160
And the old ones said no.

481
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:21,680
And perhaps the old ones thought that the Necrons were meant to live like this, so they didn't want to tamper with life.

482
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:28,160
And I mean, it is kind of sound logic, but should have looked to the future, buddy.

483
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,600
It's almost like hypocritical in a way, because I said that we didn't want to meddle.

484
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,760
But then the whole thing was we like life.

485
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,960
Yeah, they want to see life.

486
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,760
They're the medallist people in the universe.

487
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,440
Yeah, the old ones were cringe confirmed.

488
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,080
They made Eldar confirmed cringe.

489
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,360
They settled down, buddy.

490
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,200
They also made the Emperor an old lore.

491
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:55,920
To be honest, though, the current like set up with the Necrons, it just sounds like they have like the worst RNG starting point in endless space, too.

492
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,720
They really do.

493
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,080
There's nothing around and everything's terrible.

494
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,640
And the other societies are bullying them like, oh, poor guys.

495
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,840
They spawn with no titanium or adamantium.

496
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,960
Old words out of my mouth.

497
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:07,460
Hyperium.

498
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,880
Where my uncle and bros at?

499
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,320
Do that and the question of the week at the comments.

500
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,320
I need my fallen brother in here.

501
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,320
We start an endless space war in the comments.

502
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,800
By the way, there is a Necron endless space faction, basically.

503
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:23,840
They're pretty cool.

504
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,560
What are they called?

505
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:26,880
I don't remember.

506
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,920
I guess it's the Nihil.

507
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,920
Is that the Unfallen?

508
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,400
It kind of sounds like Nihilac.

509
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,520
Nihilac dynasty?

510
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,000
Maybe it's the reference.

511
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,920
It's not the Unfallen, so it doesn't matter.

512
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:46,400
They're a DLC race who are Egyptian space fairs who start the game with both the technology trees

513
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,160
because they're so far ahead of everyone else from their ancient technology.

514
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,800
I wonder what that was based off of.

515
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,160
Although the Necrons are probably based off of something else because it's GW.

516
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,440
So it's like there's no original.

517
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,640
Terminator?

518
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,140
Yeah.

519
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,120
I mentioned Heka before and I will talk about what Heka is.

520
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,920
It doesn't seem to really be a thing that I ever saw until I read the Twice-Dead King books.

521
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,760
But Twice-Dead King kind of gives you a perspective of today's day and age of the culture of the

522
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,720
Necrons and it would appear that they had Heka back then as well.

523
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,840
But Heka is basically well-made manifest.

524
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,160
If the Lord or noble believes it is so, then it is so and it is reality.

525
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,600
Their words have the power to create reality.

526
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,680
A statement filled with Heka is a statement that cannot be denied by the galaxy itself

527
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,040
and if reality does not appear to match it, then it is up to the servants to do everything

528
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,720
in their power to make it so.

529
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,360
For if the noble says it, it is indeed truth.

530
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,720
I think it's a pretty cool concept and the Necrons still seem to believe it today for

531
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,280
the most part.

532
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,160
So if the king says something, then it is real no matter what.

533
00:31:54,160 --> 00:32:00,320
And to deny so would be to deny their royal Heka, which would be denied their royalty

534
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,840
and their nobility, which would be to deny the universe itself.

535
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,840
But do as they say, are you going to have a Heka for a bad time?

536
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:08,560
Yeah, that's right.

537
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,240
It does cause some problems in certain books.

538
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,040
This unquestioning authority.

539
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,960
Yes, the Necrons are very structured, but I mean nowadays they are played with political

540
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,760
intrigue.

541
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,960
But back in the day, they were also played with it because now that the galaxy had been

542
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:33,680
populated by Necrons in general, the Necrons here has spread to a lot of the corners of

543
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,160
the galaxy.

544
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,560
They actually created quite the place for themselves.

545
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:42,480
And perhaps I looked at according to the Internet, they had maybe at this point could be living

546
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,480
up to like 200 years or more.

547
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,240
The commoners probably kept like 40 years or whatever.

548
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:54,640
There were some treatments they could they had made some only the extreme high nobles

549
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,000
could afford the treatments of life extension.

550
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:04,160
Were the basically cryptex of the time and like alchomancers and stuff would tend to

551
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,040
the nobles and do their best to keep them healthy and whatnot.

552
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:13,440
And the rights of as enormous call, it sounded like rights of asphyxiation, something like

553
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:13,600
that.

554
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,000
I hope it's not that.

555
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,120
It sounds like that.

556
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,480
It's a word that sounds like that.

557
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,320
But they would wake up every day the Necron, they would check their entire body for blemishes

558
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,680
or bumps that would inevitably appear someday.

559
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,520
And 200 years might seem like a long time for us because literally double our average

560
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,080
lifespan.

561
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,160
But all they had to compare themselves were the aliens of the galaxy, specifically the

562
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,120
old ones.

563
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:44,240
And eventually things like the Eldar and even I mean, I guess eventually corks, both races

564
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,600
that theoretically live forever.

565
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,520
I don't know if an orcs ever died of old age.

566
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,360
I guess they died in battle before that happened.

567
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:55,360
But yeah, it's yeah, but they had basically immortal beings to compare themselves to.

568
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,880
So it was like us comparing ourselves to a tree.

569
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,160
Or we live 70 to 100 years, but a tree is going to outlive us 10 times that.

570
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,720
And all of a sudden our lives are very short.

571
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,680
And even nowadays, we accept that our lives are very short and life is not long.

572
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,000
Life is quite short in the grand scheme of things.

573
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,400
So it's still fairly understandable that when the only other thing you know is immortality,

574
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,720
200 years seems pretty whack.

575
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:26,080
Even if you've come a long ways in that perspective.

576
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,160
So it makes you very bitter, wouldn't it?

577
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:30,560
Yeah, they were very bitter.

578
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,640
Not quite yet, though.

579
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,520
They mean they hated them, but they were more busy hating each other for the first wars

580
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,160
of succession.

581
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,240
The first civil war around the galaxy happened now because they were so widespread.

582
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:47,200
The Trelarix rule was not very condensed in one spot anymore.

583
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,920
And there was too much authority given to pharaons who were ruling over their systems.

584
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,840
And then overlords under them were ruling clusters of planets, lords under them, etc.

585
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,080
So everyone was fighting each other.

586
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,600
It was a disaster.

587
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,600
So the Trelarix comes together and they try to have an idea and say,

588
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,120
we're going to band together to fight the old ones and gain immortality.

589
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,880
And as it was said, they were slapped back into reality and that didn't happen very well.

590
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,360
They were brought to the corner of the galaxy with just a meager few planets.

591
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,880
If even maybe a few a few star systems, I guess would be a better thing to say.

592
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:26,400
And they lost horribly, mainly because of the old ones psychic powers.

593
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,800
The necrons here never had a connection to the warp even before they were necrons.

594
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,640
And the use of the webway was really OP because when you're when the enemy army can maneuver

595
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:42,160
anywhere in like the blink of an eye and you have spaceships, it's just it's not a fair

596
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,840
fight at all and there was nothing they could do.

597
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,400
They got wrecked very hard, but they certainly tried their best.

598
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:52,720
So after this thing sucks so much, the second wars of succession break out as the remnants

599
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:57,360
of the dynasties are fighting over each other to get what tiny scraps are left.

600
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,120
It's very bleak time for the necrons.

601
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:04,080
And in this time, the silent king and the Trelarix make contact with the katan.

602
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,400
There's multiple theories of how they find them.

603
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,360
Just like probes finding them or the katan kind of came to them and

604
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,960
started eating the star that was there.

605
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:18,240
It was not doesn't seem to be confirmed, but the silent king makes contact with the katan.

606
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:26,080
And at this time, as we said, the katan were kind of like just animalistic, gaseous forms

607
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,360
who had resulted or devolved to their base instinct of just like eating stars.

608
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,560
They weren't really conscious.

609
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,760
They were just animals, very godlike animals, but still just animals.

610
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:44,240
But when they were given living forms by the necrons in the form of the necrodermis bodies,

611
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:47,280
they gained intelligence and sentience from that as they kind of

612
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,120
started to understand the galaxy and freed on misery and despair

613
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,520
itself because necrons were not happy at this time.

614
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,480
So silent king talks to Mephrych Ran, who is the deceiver,

615
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,280
and he did not know that was his name at the time.

616
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,200
At least I sure hope he didn't.

617
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,480
He wasn't wearing like a like a name badge that is said.

618
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,160
Yeah, in a subtitle, the deceiver, because that would have been a dead giveaway.

619
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,640
And it was said that John, his name is John professional.

620
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:22,880
It was said that the things that the deceivers say, it's like it's impossible to know if he

621
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,400
even knows it's true.

622
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,840
But the deceiver talks to the silent king.

623
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,320
But the days of old where the katan had battled the old ones and they lost that war.

624
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,920
And that's why they had been devolved kind of into their gaseous, unintelligible states.

625
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,960
So they have a common enemy now.

626
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,680
And the katan claims to have the power that if they work together using their technology

627
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,720
and the katan's power, they could achieve both immortality and defeat the old ones.

628
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:55,920
Now, the katan at this point in time, were the fabric of reality.

629
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,880
They were literally gods, as you may see it.

630
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:05,440
Like, it's hard to tell, but maybe like almost many chaos gods, or they were almost like

631
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,960
as powerful as chaos gods.

632
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,240
I feel like they are.

633
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:12,560
Because if an older one is as powerful as the emperor, a katan is stronger than an older

634
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,360
one theoretically.

635
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:14,960
I was gonna say that.

636
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,920
I think they're kind of similar to like what just before, obviously, right now, this time,

637
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:24,880
almost like demon Primarchs in a way, where they're like super, like super powered up

638
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,560
creatures that are almost world changing.

639
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,640
Obviously, they do get a, they get a bit of a power up before we'll discuss in a second,

640
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:31,140
though.

641
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:38,160
There will be emperor-like soon though, which is very scary considering how they hate everything,

642
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:38,880
even each other.

643
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:45,360
Well, I think at this point, they were already, I think at this point, they were emperor-like

644
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:45,840
almost.

645
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,640
And then when they fed on all the souls and stuff, they became even more than that, maybe.

646
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:56,880
They seem to be like on a similar scale to the Eldar gods, from what I could tell.

647
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,480
And I mean, who knows how strong the emperor is.

648
00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,200
The emperor is a god.

649
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,640
Come on now, we know that.

650
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,240
But the katan, we can quickly go through the katan.

651
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,400
There's like 10 of them.

652
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,880
Some of them have literally zero lore and some of them have a tiny bit of lore.

653
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,080
So I'll quickly go through this so that we're not here for an hour.

654
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:19,680
But first is, as a garrad, the nightbringer, whose death itself, being in his vicinity,

655
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,400
will cause complete sorrow and despair.

656
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,560
People will lie down and just die.

657
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,120
He drains life itself from all around him.

658
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,960
He's the grim reaper to all other races, except for the orcs, because the orcs do not fear

659
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,200
death.

660
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,000
So he doesn't have much of an effect on orcs.

661
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
And we have Metruid Rand, the deceiver.

662
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,880
He's a master of illusion and trickery, creating many images of himself.

663
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:46,160
In the tabletop game, he lets you rearrange your deployment zones, stuff like that.

664
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,680
One of his powers is called Cosmic Madness, which is pretty cool.

665
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:54,560
And we have Maglodroth, the void dragon, who is the Omnissiah.

666
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,240
I'm not sure how the lore in the last five years went, which I mean, it's been five years,

667
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:07,040
I know, but whatever.

668
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,840
It seems that the void dragon awoke from Mars, but it's just a katan shard.

669
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,360
It's not the actual void dragon.

670
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:19,040
And it said that the void dragon might actually be a full katan, but it's unsure.

671
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:24,080
But shards of him seem to exist and it woke up and it's here now and it's pretty cool.

672
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,440
But yeah, he laid within Mars and there's kind of like a secret society in Mars that

673
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,880
guards these vaults.

674
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,680
It's in one of the Horus Heresy books and it's a really good book.

675
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,280
I think that he stays in there during the Horus Heresy.

676
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,880
I'm pretty sure he doesn't get let out or anything.

677
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,880
Is that Sons of the Selenar?

678
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,880
No, I think it's just Mechanicum.

679
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,480
Oh, it's just Mechanicum.

680
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,000
Oh, it's just Mechanicum, okay.

681
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,440
Yeah, it's a cool book.

682
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,560
That's one of my favorites, I think.

683
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,000
He has mastery over creation and destruction itself.

684
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:56,400
I think his main goal was to destroy like Vaal from the Eldar and destroy the whatever's

685
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:56,800
of Vaal.

686
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,000
Talismans of Vaal.

687
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,040
Talismans of the Vaal, like the node fortresses.

688
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:06,400
Yep, because the Blackstone fortresses were theoretically one of the things made to destroy

689
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,160
Necrons, but I'm not a Blackstone fortress expert.

690
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:16,720
If you're a Nidus Warhammer though, they are in the Battlefleet Gothic cinematics and that

691
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:17,200
kind of stuff.

692
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,080
They're the literally massive, essentially star, like literally literal, like...

693
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,600
Gigantic chandeliers.

694
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,280
Cartoon star-shaped pyramid ships.

695
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,600
Without too much spoiling, one of them does something quite big on with Cadia.

696
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,840
A little bit impactful, one could say.

697
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,920
I cry every day, every morning.

698
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,640
And less tragic, Henry Cavill knows what they are.

699
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,320
And he wanted me to be able to bring attention to it.

700
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,720
They are cool though.

701
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:47,280
Nice.

702
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:47,920
They are.

703
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:53,040
So next we have Niforan, the spiral flame, who's just some random.

704
00:41:53,040 --> 00:42:00,560
And then Nyadrasatha, the burning one, also flame themed from the first guy, but he wanted

705
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,360
to spread his fire to the webway, that was his main story.

706
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,920
And he showed the Necrons the Dolam Gates, which are these stone gates that would appear

707
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,920
that allow the Necrons to travel through certain parts of the webway.

708
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,240
It's not perfect and it's still a bit slower, but the Necrons do have access to the webway

709
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:17,440
still from this day.

710
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:24,320
So he brought his flames into the webway and that was a big part of the war in heaven and

711
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,320
a big advantage for the Necrons.

712
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:26,960
Then we have...

713
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,240
Does he say flame on whenever he uses his powers?

714
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:31,200
Yeah, he does.

715
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,640
He definitely does.

716
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,040
Does he make a stint as Captain America?

717
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:42,800
Then we have Zahr Hulash, the potentate.

718
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,040
Sorry if I've said any of these words, it sounds like potato.

719
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,560
Sorry if I've said any of these words wrong.

720
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,480
The potato katan.

721
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,160
There's cooking on this, I bet they're catching.

722
00:42:53,600 --> 00:43:00,720
And apparently a shard of Zahr Hulash, the potentate, was used to power one of the eight

723
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,600
Necron warp beacons known as the pharaohs.

724
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:04,960
So one of the pharaohs beacons.

725
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,800
I don't know if you guys know anything about that because I haven't read that book, but

726
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,440
it's a thing.

727
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,160
They did a good job, but that isn't what they did.

728
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:12,660
Yeah.

729
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,920
Then Kalugra, who's the master of destruction.

730
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,720
Landegor, it sounds more like clandagor when they say it in the books, so I'm not sure how

731
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:22,480
to pronounce it, but I'm saying landegor.

732
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,000
It's two L's at the beginning.

733
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,120
He's the flayer.

734
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,280
He was probably the most important afterwards to the Necron storyline

735
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:36,960
because he was the only destroyed katan shard as katan could not be actually destroyed.

736
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:37,760
Sorry, no, he wasn't a shard.

737
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,680
He was the only destroyed katan because katan could not actually be destroyed because they

738
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:46,720
were the fabric of reality itself and destroying this one kind of unleashed and broke parts

739
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:51,200
of reality, releasing the flayer virus onto the Necrons, which we'll talk about in a bit.

740
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:52,480
Then we have

741
00:43:52,480 --> 00:44:02,160
Sauran Noga, the outsider, who was the katan god tricked by Kegarak to eat other katan,

742
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,360
and then he went insane.

743
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:12,800
It is said that shards of Sauran whatever process madness and people just off themselves

744
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,720
whenever they see him because they go crazy.

745
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,600
He's trapped in a Dyson sphere beneath the galactic plane.

746
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,000
The god of light madness from Elder Scrolls.

747
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,120
Is it Sheregora?

748
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,160
Yes, and Jiggalath technically.

749
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,560
And the heroes of Luch.

750
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,800
Oh, yeah, we're getting our oblivion law in here, boys.

751
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:37,520
Have you heard of the high elves?

752
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:39,600
I don't want to hear about them.

753
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:40,080
That's for sure.

754
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:41,520
Stop criminal fraud.

755
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:42,960
You violated the law.

756
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,080
It's just the classic.

757
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,280
Oh, goodness.

758
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,320
I don't want to hear any talk of elves in my sacred Necron.

759
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,640
You bad, they're coming up.

760
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,200
The Eldar get a pass.

761
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,000
It's all right.

762
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,160
They're not the Thalmor embassy ambassadors walking to Whiterun who I'm about to kill.

763
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,680
But yet, Sauran Noga is trapped in a Dyson sphere beneath the galactic plane and the

764
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,600
Harlequins whisper about him and say that his time will come one day.

765
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,680
And he's depicted in the Harlequins dance.

766
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:18,480
But I think according to the internet in the Harlequin dance, they replaced this one

767
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,040
with the nightbringer instead for some reason.

768
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,160
Couldn't tell you why.

769
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:31,280
And we have Egrania, the Whirlshaver, Lashudra, the endless swarm, Augdryada, the Arisen.

770
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,280
And that's all of them.

771
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:40,000
So it'd be real cool if GW could, you know, put those in the lore and give us some

772
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,440
more fan shards.

773
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,480
That'd be pretty cool.

774
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:48,240
I'm sure that the whatever $150 Vordrain kit sold pretty good.

775
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:52,080
So you could sell more $150 katan shards and I'd buy one.

776
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:52,720
You're crazy.

777
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:54,400
We need more Primaris lieutenants.

778
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:55,840
Yeah, you're right.

779
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:56,320
You're right.

780
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:56,640
Right.

781
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:57,600
I was as I'm...

782
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,240
GW got in on the joke themselves.

783
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:01,600
It's just sad now.

784
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,100
I know.

785
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,080
Feels bad, man.

786
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,440
Whatever.

787
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,080
So the Deceiver, they we've all banded together now.

788
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,080
I kind of got ahead of myself talking about all the katan, but they've all banded together

789
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,160
now in a friendly alliance.

790
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:21,760
Then surely nothing will go wrong talking to these star gods who like to eat souls.

791
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,520
It's probably okay.

792
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:30,320
So the Silent King offers amnesty to all dynasties who are fighting each other to join the new

793
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,600
cause and the new hope of immortality and defeating the old ones.

794
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:44,240
So with the help of Illuminaur Cezares, the katan shards or the katan sorry, create the

795
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:49,200
biotransference furnaces, which I think I wanted to talk about a little bit.

796
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:55,920
This is my favorite part of the Necron's lore, just because it's so utterly grimdark.

797
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:04,720
So the biotransference was kind of sold to the Silent King at the time, who is Cezarac,

798
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:06,160
who we will talk about a bit later.

799
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:13,280
They kind of, again, they're dressed as like they're essentially Necron tier gods.

800
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,840
So they're like my literal, it'd be like someone dressed up as Jesus being like,

801
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,400
but again, that you're huge into saying, you know, bro, can you go do this thing for me?

802
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,680
I swear, bro, do it, do it.

803
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:24,080
You know what I mean?

804
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,400
You're like, it was a little bit unnerving.

805
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:33,680
And they come to them with the plan of giving them new bodies to replace their cancer ridden

806
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:34,080
ones.

807
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,240
And I think like Eli said earlier, I can't remember what the name of the ritual is, but

808
00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:43,760
Necron tier every day wake up and they pat their bodies for the cancerous growth.

809
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:48,240
So literally every day, they're afraid of it, even if you're a noble.

810
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:52,000
So, you know, they kind of caught on to their fear there.

811
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:58,480
And so the Silent King agrees and the biotransference begins with the Necron tier

812
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:03,040
constructing these enormous, like gigantic factory incinerators.

813
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:10,000
And the Silent King orders the entire Necron tier race to walk into these great foundries.

814
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:16,000
And I think I'm so glad Eli mentioned them earlier about the, I can't remember the exact

815
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,760
name Eli's the ones that are in red, which would you call them?

816
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,400
The, the sacrificial ones who would sacrifice the Necron.

817
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,200
Yeah, I was trying.

818
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,800
I was also trying to remember the, the name and I also forgot.

819
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,960
Yeah, those, those ones, the outcasts who would sacrifice the Necron.

820
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:38,400
Who paint themselves in like red paint, who would often create sacrifices for the gods.

821
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,640
They essentially were like a military police and they kind of went into every, you know,

822
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:49,440
any Necron tier that was willing and even the unwilling were being dragged out by these sort

823
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,400
of haunting Necron tiers, you know, basically covered in blood a little bit like.

824
00:48:54,400 --> 00:49:01,360
And these, the entire race left, you know, even from the little poor people,

825
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:08,320
the mud huts of the downtrodden all the way to those in the enormous and grand mausoleums.

826
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,840
They were all taken.

827
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:16,880
Even special note ones, things like Orokin and Trazin or Trazin, who we will talk about later.

828
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:26,960
Some went willingly, some were dragged by others and the Necron tier race in their billions were

829
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,080
essentially march.

830
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:32,400
Imagine like, you know, you're in a line of like literally billions of people marching towards a

831
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:33,920
huge furnace.

832
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:40,880
And again, like you look up to the skies and it's you're on this black rock and this awful

833
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:47,360
desert world and above as the people are walking, some of them don't even make it

834
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:53,120
towards the biotransference furnaces because the Necron tier, some of them just die on the way

835
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,200
because it's just such a long journey.

836
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,520
And then sometimes the cancers get them, so like the people, some people are like, you know,

837
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,200
their families, others are just dragging their elderly and those who are ill.

838
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:10,640
And they look above and they see the entire, like the Gitan essentially, like ghosts floating

839
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:15,200
above the furnaces and like moving around like sort of spectres of death.

840
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,000
So it's obviously very creepy and they obviously feel very small.

841
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:24,880
And they essentially walk into these massive biotransference furnaces and they

842
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,480
essentially emulate.

843
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,560
They feel the entire pain of that situation that it is.

844
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:35,280
They literally burn and their memories are stripped from them.

845
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:36,480
They are literally taken.

846
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:42,080
As I think I said earlier, I'm of the opinion that they are, their memories, like basically who

847
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:48,080
they were is actually turned into data because it specifically says the Necron, the Gitan

848
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,520
don't devour their souls.

849
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,480
I think it says it, they don't touch the soul.

850
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:58,480
So I think it's, they take their life energy, just like general, you know, vitality and.

851
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,000
Cause the subject without ruining the flavour.

852
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,240
Try I leave Gitan's furnace.

853
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:05,440
Essentially, yes.

854
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:10,480
And they are, you know, they're turned into data essentially.

855
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:15,040
And then they are uploaded into living metal Necrodermis bodies.

856
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,400
But there's something a little bit wrong with these bodies.

857
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:23,840
So some of the nobles emerge and they're like, I feel stronger than ever, even though I feel

858
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,440
a little bit different.

859
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,680
And then they look to their side and like the common people are essentially like just,

860
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,520
they are only like small parts of it.

861
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,560
They're essentially like slaves.

862
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,960
They are not even fully sentient.

863
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:43,360
Some of these things, they are literally robots and the nobles particularly, they find they are

864
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:46,000
embedded with a command protocol.

865
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:52,960
So they literally become like robotic creatures and they are enslaved to the silent king with

866
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,560
the command protocol.

867
00:51:54,560 --> 00:52:00,720
And the thing about the command protocol is they cannot rebel against anything the silent

868
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:01,920
king orders them to do.

869
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:06,960
And you might think, well, why doesn't, you know, the Necronty are dead.

870
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,000
They are all gone.

871
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
There will never be a new Necronty.

872
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,920
There'll never even be a new Necron at this point.

873
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,760
They've all been turned.

874
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,360
And you may think, oh, why don't they just turn on the Kitan here if they were angry

875
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,840
about, yeah, hey, this deal seems like a bit sideways.

876
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:25,120
Because the Kitan of Basie just devoured an entire race and they are souped up and now

877
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,040
they are like got true gods.

878
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:35,040
And the silent king essentially can't act against the Kitan because in a way they also

879
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,560
hold him hostage being like, you really, you want to, you can't fight, you want to fight

880
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,400
the old ones and the Kitan.

881
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,240
They're not going to.

882
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:45,440
And I guess you probably say the old ones protect life.

883
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,200
The Necrons aren't really alive anymore.

884
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,360
So I guess they would have just wiped them anyway.

885
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:58,640
So the Necrons are here and they are essentially all under the command of the silent king and

886
00:52:58,640 --> 00:52:59,200
the Kitan.

887
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:04,240
And I hand it back to Eli to talk about what exactly they did with this new Necron army

888
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:07,840
and the brewing war between them and the old ones.

889
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:09,360
They did.

890
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:10,400
They did lots of good stuff.

891
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:17,280
But yeah, the silent king felt nothing but despair after he looked over his people and

892
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,560
saw what had happened as he watched the Kitan shards flying over the biotransference furnaces

893
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:23,600
and eating their souls.

894
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:31,200
Many of the Necrons, like 99% of them, who can still think, completely regretted biotransference

895
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,160
and realized the mistake they made the moment it happened.

896
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,520
And it was a very sad moment.

897
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:41,680
And even though the silent king had control of everyone, he felt like a tyrant and not

898
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,400
anything better than that because they had no free will to say no to him anymore, like

899
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:46,880
he said.

900
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:54,400
But yeah, as they all came up, they are all marked by the Ankh of the Triarch, which is

901
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,120
the kind of chess piece that you see on a lot of them.

902
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,880
It sends other places in some place.

903
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:03,920
But they also are marked by the dynastic symbol, but that's only reserved for the highest

904
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,480
nobles to bear the full symbol of the dynasties.

905
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:13,040
Whereas the lesser nobles and kind of lesser ranks, maybe Lichgard, sometimes maybe immortals,

906
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:13,920
but probably not.

907
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:19,360
They have parts of the dynastic symbol, whereas the warriors and usually immortals are seen

908
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:23,760
as chattel and they are not worth even marking for the dynasties.

909
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:24,880
They don't deserve that.

910
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,800
But the vehicles are all marked because they are the property of the Lord and they're very

911
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:29,360
important.

912
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:36,400
So when the War of Heaven starts now, as you know, it's the perfect time.

913
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,400
The Necrons have gained immortality.

914
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:43,200
They have incredible technology to go along with it because they already had really good

915
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:43,760
technology.

916
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:50,400
They just kind of needed that one extra cosmic reality bending step from the Katan Shards.

917
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:55,360
So they marched into the Webway and they fought the old ones and we kind of already talked

918
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,840
about the War in Heaven for like two hours on the channel.

919
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,520
So you should probably go watch that video so that we don't talk about it for two hours

920
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:01,760
here.

921
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:11,600
But to sum it up, it was an unfathomable universe ending war that we couldn't like our greatest

922
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,400
wildest dreams could not even think up of what happened.

923
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,480
It was said that planets were basically used as ammunition.

924
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,720
Star systems were destroyed by the day.

925
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:22,480
Millions died constantly.

926
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:23,840
And it was insane.

927
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,920
It was gods fighting other gods.

928
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,680
So it like we literally could not comprehend what happened.

929
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:34,960
But in this war, the Necrons and Katan fought against the old ones, the Krorc, the Eldar

930
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,360
and a few other of the old ones races.

931
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:42,640
It was so bloody and horrible that it created the warp issues that we have today when the

932
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,400
enslavers came out and messed with stuff.

933
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:51,040
And it was just all around incredibly extreme and out of this world and unbelievable.

934
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:56,960
But in the end, the Necrons appeared victorious and they defeated the old ones, except for

935
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,680
one who is maybe the emperor, but nobody knows.

936
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:07,440
And as the war ends, the Katan, as they go to feast on the old ones souls and they kind

937
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:13,680
of are in this relaxed and prideful, arrogant state, the Silent King sees his only chance

938
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:19,440
to take and defeat these hated enemies, pretend allies of the Necrons.

939
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:26,320
And he takes it and they destroy the Katan shards in more unfathomable, extremely crazy

940
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:27,680
battles because it's more gods.

941
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,240
Fabrics of reality are bending.

942
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:31,520
Millions are dying.

943
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,240
There's so much loss and everything's horrible.

944
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:36,240
But they eventually break them.

945
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:40,160
As I said before, they cannot really be killed because they're part of reality.

946
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:45,040
They're broken into shards and trapped within these Tesseract Labyrinths and Tesseract Vaults,

947
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,880
which are almost like the great...

948
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,520
We talked about them in the Grey Knights episode the other day.

949
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:55,440
They're like super big mazes or other parts of the plane of reality, basically, where

950
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:56,320
they trap these things.

951
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:01,760
And they kind of make the Katan into big batteries for the most part, where they harvest all

952
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:07,120
their energy and use them to power things like Dyson Spheres and Tesseract Vaults, the

953
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:12,000
big cube thing in the tabletop that has not very many rules, unfortunately.

954
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:18,240
I do like that, like, oh, you're this primordial force with the power of gods, blah, blah, blah.

955
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:19,680
Charge my iPhone.

956
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:20,880
Yeah, that's your role now.

957
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,560
One of the Pokemon Go.

958
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:31,520
Trazen has one and he uses it as a battery for Slimness, but he also uses it to trade

959
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,760
secrets and he feeds it a little bit more every day.

960
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,080
An Orican.

961
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:37,440
Yeah.

962
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,280
Just imagine it like, you know, when you got like a fish tank and you just put a little

963
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,000
bit of food in the top and just opening a little bit of the cube.

964
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:44,640
Yeah.

965
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:45,440
Get some food for you.

966
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:46,080
There you go.

967
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:46,720
Yum, yum, yum.

968
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:52,320
Well, now the next time for the Necrons to go to sleep.

969
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,320
And they have released the Flare Virus at this point.

970
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:01,120
I'm not sure if they actually know about it quite yet, more than just like, oh, this bad

971
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,720
thing happened because we killed this guy, but it's probably just a select few of people

972
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,640
who really want to eat flesh for some reason.

973
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:08,720
It'll probably be okay.

974
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:09,360
Don't worry about it.

975
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:10,000
It'll be fine.

976
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:10,720
Yeah.

977
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,680
Those who can't eat flesh, by the way, we had to mention it.

978
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:14,160
Yeah.

979
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,800
They just shove meat onto their face.

980
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,800
I'll, I'll talk about the Flare Virus in like five minutes.

981
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:21,120
Maybe.

982
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:21,440
Yeah.

983
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:22,720
Good enough.

984
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,160
The Silent King sees, as we said, the Eldar.

985
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:32,400
It is the time of the Eldar, for they are the predominant race at the time and their

986
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,680
psychic ability is unmatched throughout the entire galaxy.

987
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:36,800
We know how the story goes.

988
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,400
The Eldar became gods basically, and then bad things happened because of it.

989
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:41,200
Goofy Eldar.

990
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:42,480
But let me see.

991
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:43,280
I have.

992
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,400
Yeah, that was all that happened.

993
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,400
Yeah, that was all that happened.

994
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:48,640
All right.

995
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,640
Here's an Orkan quote because Colin says the Eldar won the war in heaven,

996
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,840
but I think, I think Oregon has a pretty good rebuttal.

997
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,280
I'll put it in the chat.

998
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:58,480
Oh, that's pretty base.

999
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,000
Like I disagree with Colin.

1000
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,520
I'll make him read it out himself.

1001
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,920
Wasn't you who made me read the Bricktonian Quote?

1002
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:06,880
It was on a quiz.

1003
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:07,360
Good.

1004
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:08,480
I'm glad you've done this.

1005
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,000
Anyway, Orkan's cool.

1006
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,080
And I'm going to add my own quote after this.

1007
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:18,160
So anyways, time is a weapon like no other.

1008
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,960
If nothing else, I can simply wait for my foes to rot.

1009
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,760
And it's very true.

1010
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,080
Consider, however, that the Eldar do not rot.

1011
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:32,320
They turned into crystal and Orkan himself also admitted both Necron and Eldar were perfect

1012
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:32,960
in their own way.

1013
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,080
Yes, yes.

1014
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:35,200
I like the Necron.

1015
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,160
I like the Eldar.

1016
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:36,660
Sorry.

1017
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:37,700
Calm down.

1018
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:40,240
The Eldar are cool.

1019
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:41,040
I'm going to read it.

1020
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:45,440
Their society, their society certainly did rot and they are ill.

1021
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,000
It did do a bit of a bit of an uh-oh.

1022
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,600
Bit of an oopsie daisy.

1023
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:56,480
I was certainly on the Necron's side in this fact and they just waited out the reign of the Eldar.

1024
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:57,840
And they did do that.

1025
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:03,440
Because I guess we could talk a little bit about Orkan the Diviner because he was the one who

1026
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:07,600
told them, all right, we got to wait exactly 65 million years and then we can wake up.

1027
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,600
As Orkan was a master astromancer and he could see the stars and see the futures.

1028
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,280
Talk about him a little bit more.

1029
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:14,240
I'm troubled.

1030
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:14,960
In a bit.

1031
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:21,280
He originally told the Necrons to not go under, go through with biotransference but nobody

1032
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,520
listened to him and he's bitter to it to this day.

1033
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,520
But I was going to talk about him in a little bit.

1034
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:26,640
So we'll get back to him.

1035
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:27,860
Yes.

1036
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,120
And now the Silent King leaves.

1037
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:37,120
He goes into exile after doing his last command which was to basically just go to sleep and in

1038
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:41,520
65 million years wake up and return the dynasties to what they once were.

1039
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,360
Return the dynasties to their former glory.

1040
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:50,240
And heavily weighing on his mind at the moment was sorrow and wishing that he could return

1041
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:51,680
to the time of flesh.

1042
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:56,720
So this will also weigh heavily on many of the Necrons who will awaken in the future.

1043
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,720
So now they're asleep for 65 million years.

1044
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:09,040
And things don't go perfect because even for their incredible unimaginable level of technology.

1045
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,320
65 million years is a long time to be asleep.

1046
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,320
So it was a pretty risky maneuver.

1047
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:21,200
They all go underground into these tomb worlds which are as it sounds.

1048
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:26,000
There's worlds that are tombs and where millions of Necrons sleep below the surface.

1049
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,000
And many of them go unscathed.

1050
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,000
A lot of them go unscathed but it's said that millions if not billions of Necrons were lost

1051
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:37,040
in the great sleep due to many reasons like natural disasters or technological failings.

1052
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:42,000
Because even though they have perfect technology one little thing, one little tiny tiny thing

1053
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:48,000
will build up onto another and after 65 million years it kind of cascades into one giant issue.

1054
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,640
So lots of them are lost.

1055
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,000
Another reason was due to a late talk Eldar.

1056
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:00,000
They particularly hate the Necrons and they will go around raiding tomb worlds and destroying it.

1057
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,000
A lot of them made it through though largely due to the technology and also their canoptic guards.

1058
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Wraiths, scarabs, other things.

1059
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:14,000
They're basically metal insect guard things that kind of stalk the tombs and protect the tombs.

1060
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:18,000
While their masters are asleep scarabs are good at repairing things and whatnot.

1061
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,000
Can also talk about them a little bit later.

1062
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:28,000
When the time of waking comes there's a lot more issues because a lot of people wake up being just crazy in general.

1063
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,000
There's the Flare Virus, the Destroy Virus.

1064
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Some people don't wake up at all.

1065
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Some people wake up with no personality as their personality engrams have been fried or completely destroyed.

1066
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Something has gone wrong.

1067
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,000
So they're plagued with issues.

1068
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Now we can talk about the Flare Virus a little bit.

1069
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:54,000
It was the gift of Clan Dagor, and due to them breaking his part of reality he released this thing, this curse onto them.

1070
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Which is a mystery to their race this day.

1071
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:02,000
It's a mystery to the galaxy because how do you infect a mechanical race with such a virus is very unsure.

1072
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:08,000
But it's basically Necrons who crave flesh and they want to be engulfed in flesh.

1073
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,000
They want to be flesh and blood again.

1074
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:15,000
So they flay their victims and drape themselves in their skin and they wear their faces.

1075
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,000
They crave having a face like no other would appear.

1076
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,000
And they crave to eat flesh.

1077
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:25,000
They stuff flesh into their mouthpieces and into their guts and it all just seeps through.

1078
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Their hunger is never satiated because they have no stomachs to fill.

1079
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,000
So they're in constant misery wanting flesh and they're insane.

1080
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:38,000
They seem to be satiated at least to like a docile state.

1081
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:47,000
They can have moments of lucidity but it's more of like at one point they can't control themselves and all they can think about is flesh.

1082
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:52,000
And the next point they can control themselves and all they can think about is flesh and killing other people.

1083
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:56,000
It's like the equivalent of like the butchers nails for a nightlord.

1084
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:02,000
Like I'm gonna do a load of flaying until I'm satisfied and until not I'm not gonna have the endorphins to stop my suffering.

1085
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,000
For a world leader.

1086
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:10,000
If the nightlords got butchers nails I think that would make them even more terrifying.

1087
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Who do you reckon is better at flaying? A flayed one or a nightlord?

1088
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Oh god I'd be the flayed one bro. It's in the name.

1089
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Emperor's Children surely.

1090
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Yeah buddy.

1091
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Maybe you should have your smile specifically but you know it's in the name.

1092
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Just imagine them all getting together for a convention day and like this is how you sew the skin together without seeing the seams.

1093
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,000
It would definitely happen in Ohio for no reason.

1094
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,000
He used the iron.

1095
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,000
That's clever. It gets rid of all the creases.

1096
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Oh very good.

1097
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:46,000
I imagine they'd argue over like you know like we showed up wearing the same thing you know the same human skin cape and that's one of us has to change.

1098
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Wearing the same clothes.

1099
01:04:49,000 --> 01:05:04,000
I do want to talk about a really like there's funny like even the necrons are like when you see flayed ones they are terrifying even that their bodies kind of adapt to their need to flay flesh or they get like elongated claws.

1100
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:24,000
My favorite parts of it is like I don't know if you can talk about it Eli and the twice dead king parts but there is like a funny part where like one of them is like hiding behind some enemies and he just goes gets out his really long dagger finger and looks like one of the main necron overlords and goes shh and he's like I'm going to flay you know what I mean.

1101
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:42,000
There's like some funny moments and some of them when they catch the disease they're like it's like they got caught cheating on their diet essentially. They're like catching someone eating a Snickers bar when they were saying they're like oh I'm losing weight like oh I'm so sorry like oh it's so it's just so awkward oh my god.

1102
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:47,000
It's really funny that there are some aspects of the flare virus.

1103
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:58,000
It's tough and none of the necrons actually know how they catch it and seemingly no necron is safe even Immo Tech the swarm on himself could get it for all we know.

1104
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:08,000
But it starts with a slight simple tiny cravings of flesh and eventually evolves into what we said before insanity. Their backs hunch over their claws elongate.

1105
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:35,000
They usually carve out smiles and faces on their faces because they'd want to face so bad but they just can't have it. And it seems one of the main causes or ways that it's explained at least is the diaspherec which is talked about in the twice day king book which is pretty cool and it's basically kind of like the echo and the remnant of the necron brain and it's trapped forever in a state of bodiless aloneness.

1106
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:48,000
It just wants to have a body again it wants to have something to be with it and it could start with them the necron trying to blink but they have no eyelids are trying to breathe breathe but they have no lungs and I just have no eyes and I must blink.

1107
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,000
Yeah, literally.

1108
01:06:50,000 --> 01:07:08,000
I did love that part yeah they have a, some of them said they'd feel it they suddenly go, they're forgetting to breathe, because that function in their brain is like, in our own brains we have like the, it's not a conscious part necessarily of like you know pumping your heart, but they have that thing in their brain which is like, oh I'm not breathing, oh I don't breathe.

1109
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:20,000
They had a phantom breathe. I have a question with the flayed ones, do they have like the, like, what is their preventative measure do they have clinics, do they have like any way of knowing the methods?

1110
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:32,000
They don't know they can, it seems if you have like a strong enough force of will, you can like stave it off for a long long time, I think the one of the characters in the book had been staving it off for centuries basically.

1111
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:46,000
And a crypt tech in the book also claimed that there may be a way to get rid of it but it seems that there's absolutely no cure. All you can do is try for as long as possible to hold it off until you're given.

1112
01:07:46,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Yeah, but the diasphoric, it seems to be like how you have a phantom limb if you lost a limb, it's like a phantom brain, and it's this big scary monster that will try to engulf the Necron if they even give into it for a second, and they have basically they have panic attacks as they're, they all of a sudden realize that their bodies have been starved for millions of years and they can't breathe, they can't blink, they can't eat, they can't drink, they can't do anything.

1113
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:26,000
Basically if you were, had every organ in your body fail at once and you were suffering every possible like ailments at one time, being hungry and thirsty, and your skin is falling off, and all this stuff at once is basically what they feel even though they have none of it.

1114
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:50,000
This is a very scary thing for a Necron to experience. And the other issue is the destroyer aspect, which is pretty cool. They don't know where it came from, it's completely, a complete mystery, it might have been an issue with just their algorithms or even more sinister, the Catan may have devised it and had it to be the end fate for all Necrons.

1115
01:08:50,000 --> 01:09:12,000
But essentially nihilism and murderousness takes over the Necron, and they start to mutilate their bodies, taking off arms and replacing them with cannons, taking off limbs, replacing them with hover things or with big giant legs, their bodies will often warp to become gigantic and all they will care about is eradicating human life.

1116
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:39,000
And in the Infinite and Divine book he meets up with some destroyers, and it's very cool, they are telling Trazen how they're going to destroy the world. And it's not just like they're going to go kill stuff, they go and destroy the polar ice caps so that the world, they will be able to more efficiently kill everyone as the floods wipe out more people so they'll have 300 less years of having to kill people.

1117
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:55,000
And they're like, get rid of something like trees or something so the atmosphere will burn up, all they care about is destroying all flesh, they hate flesh and hate living beings with a passion, even animals, it's not just sentient life, they'll kill animals and plants and trees, and they don't care.

1118
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,000
They were really crazy.

1119
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:06,000
They even make a plan to kill the bacteria as well, which is like, that's how mentally ill they are, it's insane.

1120
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:16,000
They're very crazy and they need to be generally controlled by a destroyer lord. Necrons hate them but they form destroyer cults off in the side.

1121
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:21,000
I guess I'll talk about the Flayed Virus but I didn't talk about Flayed Ones as much.

1122
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:35,000
The, probably the coolest part about the Flayed Ones is that they can travel through dimensions, they have their own little like, pocket dimension where they can just go and hang out and live so they can appear on a battlefield at any point, anywhere.

1123
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:46,000
So society hates them, but they don't really have a choice if they want them to show up or not because they'll just apparate and like claw out of reality to kill all these people and then hopefully leave.

1124
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:50,000
If they don't leave some words just get rid of them and kill them because they don't want them around anymore.

1125
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:54,000
It's kind of a shame that they're ashamed of them, in a way.

1126
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,000
They're Necron, they're Necron blockers essentially.

1127
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:04,000
Yeah, they're scared of catching the virus, although it's, nobody knows how you catch the virus.

1128
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:23,000
It seems touching flesh is a possible way that starts it so touching flesh is very taboo in Necron society nowadays and the sacred machine is that it is sacred and all flesh is disgusting and should be eradicated but not to that degree.

1129
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,000
That's more of a destroyer thing to think.

1130
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
It's kind of a very complex way of thinking.

1131
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,000
It's hard to explain how the Necrons think.

1132
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,000
They're very fleshed out nowadays, ironically enough.

1133
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:38,000
They have a lot of character and emotion in their characters nowadays but it's pretty cool.

1134
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Now that they're waking up, they see every race other than the Eldar basically as nothing but insects.

1135
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:51,000
To us, sorry, to a Necron, we are literally insects.

1136
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:56,000
It's like how you would see an ant, they see us in the same way and in a sense it is almost the same way.

1137
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:08,000
They are in a higher point of existence almost from the rest of the galaxy minus the Eldar which is a nice way of, I don't know, they're not very nice but cool how they see it.

1138
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,000
I have another quote.

1139
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,000
This one for me? For moi?

1140
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Let's see, yeah sure.

1141
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Said by some Inquisitor random, I don't know.

1142
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,000
Oh cool, that starts fitting for me then I suppose.

1143
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Okay.

1144
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:30,000
We are less than cattle to these beings, chattel to be cast aside, consumed or made sport with for their pleasure.

1145
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:34,000
There is not one among them that would pay a head.

1146
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:39,000
There is not one, shit, there is not one, I can't get this right.

1147
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:49,000
There is not one amongst them that would pay heed to a world of man as I would to an ant on my boot.

1148
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Nice.

1149
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,000
There is not one among us.

1150
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,000
Very good.

1151
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:53,000
That's right.

1152
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Joining the club of flubs.

1153
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000
That's a weird name.

1154
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,000
It was he, I was like, he'd heal?

1155
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,000
How did you flub the quarry every time?

1156
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000
True.

1157
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Yeah, they see us as insects but touching flesh is a very serious thing that they don't want to do.

1158
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:16,000
It just makes me think of touching grass, like touching flesh.

1159
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:22,000
In the Twice Dead King book again, because that's the best Necron book you can get right now,

1160
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:28,000
the main character squishes a grot beneath his foot and his sub-minds,

1161
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:33,000
because it's so hard to say how incredibly insane the Necron technology is.

1162
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,000
The main character has sub-minds within himself,

1163
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:43,000
his own consciousness put into different kind of personalities and they're part of his brain.

1164
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,000
So one of them is constantly reminding them about the taboos.

1165
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:52,000
It freaks out when he touches this grot or when he touches a war boss

1166
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,000
and it's screaming at him and it's going crazy.

1167
01:13:55,000 --> 01:14:00,000
Then the grot's blood gets on the sacred stones of the crypt and it gets even worse.

1168
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,000
They have a lot of very peculiar...

1169
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
...ideosyncrasies.

1170
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,000
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.

1171
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
But sub-minds is a cool thing that they got.

1172
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Another part of their technology, the main thing in their army, their army bonus,

1173
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:19,000
is the reanimation protocols, as they're made out of living metal.

1174
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,000
Even doing catastrophic damage to an Necron might not kill it.

1175
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,000
It will regenerate and stand back up, its limbs will find each other,

1176
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:32,000
kind of in like ooze back together in a liquid, metallic conglomeration,

1177
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,000
and it will stand back up and keep fighting.

1178
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,000
So only the most incredible damage can put one of these things down,

1179
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:41,000
and even then they will generally just phase out back under to the Tomb World

1180
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,000
if they're on home turf or into the flagship if they're not on home turf.

1181
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:50,000
So if you're fighting against the Necrons, there's like a 99% chance that the Necron you just killed,

1182
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,000
you didn't actually kill, and you're going to fight them again tomorrow.

1183
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,000
I don't like that.

1184
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:01,000
I don't because my boy High Marshal Halbrecht stomped on the Necron and then he kept getting back up.

1185
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Chad Emotech, the Storm Lord!

1186
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:07,000
Oh, he's so freaking cool.

1187
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,000
I'm going to talk about him in a little bit too.

1188
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Killishu.

1189
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Killishu? He lost like five times.

1190
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:17,000
He didn't lose because he kept standing back up.

1191
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,000
It doesn't matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, he lost.

1192
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:22,000
That's right.

1193
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Shout out to my good friend Matt who has tortured me endlessly with reanimation protocols on the tabletop.

1194
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:35,000
Love me Resurrection Orbs, love me D3 plus three Necron Warriors.

1195
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:41,000
And I'd like to give a big shout out to the Dawn of War AI on Hard Difficult.

1196
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Pain. Very, very much pain.

1197
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:48,000
The nobility's bodies are more strong, they're more resolute.

1198
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:56,000
I forgot to say, in Biotransference, the Royals and the Overlords were given the best materials to be made into,

1199
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
and kind of the scraps were given to the peasants.

1200
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:05,000
And the peasants who awaken the Necron Warriors were never actually any soldiers of any kind.

1201
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,000
They were just like farmers and regular dudes.

1202
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:11,000
They had no combat experience, but now they live in the soulless machine.

1203
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,000
And it would appear that Necrons do not have souls.

1204
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:20,000
I feel like it's hard to say that completely, but it seems pretty absolute that they do not have souls.

1205
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:26,000
And when they wake up, they kind of realize this, they feel like the cold itch in the back of their minds, their hollowness,

1206
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:33,000
they can just, they know that there's something missing, and which is why many of them want to return to the times of flesh.

1207
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:41,000
There's a good link about one, I don't know if it's a spoiler already, but there's like a good part where the character Fabius Bial,

1208
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:46,000
how him and Trozen have that conversation where Trozen says like,

1209
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,000
is the real Fabius Bial technically dead?

1210
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:55,000
And you're just like a, you're a copy of his memories, essentially.

1211
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,000
I think the Necrons often feel like that.

1212
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:04,000
They might, the Necrons, well, the Necrontyr are actually like dead, like the real characters of them are dead.

1213
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:10,000
And these are like the imprinted remains essentially of what that thing was.

1214
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,000
And they're just kind of like living ghosts.

1215
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:18,000
Isn't there a bit in Infinite and the Divine where Trozen and Oricon are having a chat and Oricon's all about,

1216
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:24,000
I can't remember exactly what it's about, but he's saying about how he wishes he could like taste or he could do things he,

1217
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,000
like that kind of Barbossa in the first Pirates of the Caviar,

1218
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:35,000
I feel nothing, not the warmth of my skin or the taste is like, yeah, it's just, and there's something where he like, he, he's like,

1219
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:46,000
I wish I could do this again, but I can't because I don't have taste buds or touch or, you know, smell or any sensation other than being alive as like a ghost in the machine.

1220
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:51,000
You best start believing in ghost stories, Eldred.

1221
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:55,000
You're living in one.

1222
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,000
Epic.

1223
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:03,000
I guess more on Tomb Worlds because I kind of went over that a little too fast.

1224
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:09,000
They have many of them have something called a null field matrix, which keeps the tomb world safe from psychers.

1225
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:13,000
And this also works against demons and tyranids and other psychers.

1226
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,000
And the technology can kind of be seen more in their ships.

1227
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:22,000
They put these weird bone things on their ships that ward off psychers so they can't see them as well from the astropath perspective.

1228
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000
And they have the like gloom prisms on the tomb spiders.

1229
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:33,000
They have anti-psychic stuff and necrons are very good opponents against demons and tyranids as it would appear.

1230
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:38,000
So they're kind of the necrons might be the only hope for the galaxy to actually beat the tyranids.

1231
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:45,000
But there's a slight irony to it in which the necrons don't understand psychic stuff at all.

1232
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,000
Yeah, because they have literally none of them are psychers.

1233
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,000
None have the abilities of psychers in any capacity.

1234
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:57,000
So they don't they know how to fight against it in certain like in terms of preventing it.

1235
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:02,000
But actually, they some even on the table, they're somewhat kind of vulnerable to it.

1236
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:07,000
And really deny anything in the psychic phase unless you have like one artifact.

1237
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,000
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, no, I guess there's any more babies.

1238
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,000
Yeah, I see. I mean, they're still there.

1239
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:22,000
But wasn't that the whole so that wasn't that the whole thing of like the war in heaven, like they made the orcs and they're like, this is getting the job done kind of.

1240
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,000
And they went Eldar and they're like, oh, this is much better.

1241
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Like, they can't counter this.

1242
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:34,000
That's what they do have. They point it in their general direction, like, go get them.

1243
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,000
Go get them. Good boy. Good boy. Good.

1244
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:52,000
That meme video, the guy's like, describe that dog. He just like, I thought this one he just saw it's like growling aggressively the camera that one came during the war in heaven was actually a pit bull named Princess.

1245
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:59,000
But the necrons do kind of have magic powers, but these math to create magic.

1246
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:12,000
It's like real. It's real power, isn't it? It's literally science. They like bend reality and use the force of reality to do things that appear as magic to us.

1247
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:17,000
But we just can't understand or fathom how incredibly advanced they are.

1248
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:22,000
So it it's completely impossible to understand how they really do it.

1249
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
I'll talk about cryptex a little bit later. Where was that?

1250
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:34,000
I think one of my favorite things in the Lord before the necrons wake up are the Triarch Praetorians.

1251
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:41,000
The Triarch Praetorians are basically enforcers of the will of the Triarch, which is not as big deal anymore.

1252
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:52,000
But before the necrons woke up, the Triarch Praetorians saw that they failed their task of keeping the dynasties alive and was kind of keeping them on their former glory.

1253
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:57,000
And so they never went to sleep. They stayed awake for the entire 65 million years.

1254
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:05,000
And they actually spread the culture of necronteer society to the lesser races, to just random aliens around the galaxy.

1255
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:16,000
So that if the necrons didn't wake up, if that chance, the tiny little chance happened, that the necronteer culture would live on and it would survive, which is pretty neat, if you ask me.

1256
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:30,000
And they would later go and help the Tomb Worlds awaken. They usually stay around and defend the Tomb World or help them get rid of the lesser beings, the fleshlings around the Tomb Worlds planet.

1257
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:39,000
They're the executioners of the High Court because there's kind of, I don't know what the state of it is right now that the Silent King is back. I assume he has full authority.

1258
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:51,000
But before the Silent King was back, they made kind of a de facto government of just necron nobles from the previously awakened dynasties who woke up before they were supposed to.

1259
01:21:51,000 --> 01:22:04,000
And this was kind of spearheaded by the Triarch Praetorians and some nobles. I'll talk about that later. I was going to say I'll talk about the Infinite and the Divine, but I'll do that in a couple minutes.

1260
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:23,000
So as the necrons are waking up, it would appear, according to my 5th edition Necron's Codex, the first contact with the Imperium seems to be in 793.M41, when an Inquisitor comes to investigate why Solemnance, Trazan's planet, was completely ignored by Highfleet Behemoth.

1261
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:40,000
In Fall of Daminos though, it seems as if the Imperium had never encountered the necrons before. Maybe that's because the Fall of Daminos is old lore, but it's hard to say because in the Codex it also says the Silver Skulls fought against the necrons before Daminos happened.

1262
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:48,000
I think at a stretch you could probably say that Ferris Man has trunked one with that incident where he got his arms, but that's probably the only recorded one, I suppose.

1263
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:53,000
It could also just, you know, the Imperium's record keeping is, shall we say, a bit rough.

1264
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Yeah.

1265
01:22:54,000 --> 01:23:04,000
I mean, to be honest, I'm just a mad, I know we've already mentioned this meme loads of times on the channel, but just like the Mechanicum guy walking in seeing an necron going, what the hell is even that?

1266
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,000
Basically.

1267
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:14,000
Or it just could be a case of like, we know they encountered them before, but in the universe the necrons just wiped them to a man, so it was like, well, no one to report it.

1268
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:17,000
They were flare virus food, maybe.

1269
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,000
What was I saying though?

1270
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:28,000
Daminos was one of the first times that it happened, and it has a book, so all those random Silver Skull stories in the Codex, I'm not sure if they're in a book or not.

1271
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,000
And the Silver Skulls are real, by the way.

1272
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:36,000
I remember a long time ago when I made a Silver Skulls chapter, people in the comments were saying, I don't think these guys are real.

1273
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,000
I think that they're just the trazing myth, but no, they're real.

1274
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,000
They're definitely real.

1275
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,000
Oh, definitely real.

1276
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Yeah, they were replaced with trazing in like the stained glass window and stuff, but they are indeed a real Space Marine chapter.

1277
01:23:49,000 --> 01:24:01,000
Which, yeah, before I talk about the dynasties, maybe how you can talk about the infinite and the divine, because they technically woke up before everyone else.

1278
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,000
So if you want to talk about them now, you can.

1279
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Yes, I do.

1280
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:12,000
But this is, by the way, if you are new to Warhammer or you're possibly just, you know, have a get a toe in or maybe a little bit.

1281
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:17,000
This is probably one of the better Warhammer books, like ever in general.

1282
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,000
It's such a good book.

1283
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:24,000
I'm not going to say it's the best book in the world, but it's an incredibly enjoyable book.

1284
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:29,000
And even if you don't know anything about Warhammer lore, this is a really fun read and a listen.

1285
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,000
So I kind of won't give away everything.

1286
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,000
I'm just going to go like a light sort of going over the book.

1287
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:41,000
So because again, it'd be such a missed opportunity if you never got to listen to this book yourself.

1288
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:47,000
But the infinite and the divine is essentially following the characters of trazin or trazin.

1289
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,000
I can't remember which one it really is, but I'll say trazin for now.

1290
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:56,000
Abaddon or Abaddon or Giliman or Gulliman or blah, blah, blah.

1291
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:57,000
It's not Gulliman.

1292
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,000
We'll get told off anyway by someone in the comments.

1293
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:08,000
So it's trazin, the infinite and Oricon, the diviner or basically the infinite and the divine.

1294
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:15,000
It's essentially two characters that were around during the early, early days of the

1295
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,000
was the time when obviously the Necron tier became the Necrons.

1296
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,000
It's essentially a plot.

1297
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:26,000
The general plot is it's a feud between the old married couple that is trazin and Oricon,

1298
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:34,000
who have at the core of it kind of different ideas and philosophies about their race and how they act.

1299
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:41,000
So they are kind of the two different, they're meant to show a contrast between how the Necrons have changed

1300
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,000
and how they feel about their past and their future.

1301
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:50,000
And it's really, it's literally in every conversation that they have because they're just, they're so petty

1302
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:54,000
and they bicker so much and it's so enjoyable.

1303
01:25:54,000 --> 01:26:05,000
And the book will, it follows the general journey around the mysterious tomb, the lost tomb of Nefref.

1304
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,000
I think I'm saying that correctly.

1305
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:17,000
And they both desire the secrets within and they both have awakened slightly earlier than a lot of the other Necrons.

1306
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:21,000
Again, like I said, sometimes the process is not perfect.

1307
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:26,000
I think they awakened possibly during, at some time.

1308
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:31,000
They woke up around the time of the Horus Heresy.

1309
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:37,000
There's some stuff Trazin says and the fact that he has perfect recreations of the Horus Heresy

1310
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:42,000
that pretty strongly hint that even if they weren't there for the start of it, they woke up during it.

1311
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:51,000
In fact, I think there's actually a line where Trazin was talking about how before the Horus Heresy,

1312
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,000
he found mankind to be incredibly boring.

1313
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Yeah, because it kind of, the Great Crusade made everything much more uniform.

1314
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:02,000
And he was like, I already have space marines broke.

1315
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:07,000
We should mention that Trazin's thing is like he makes a museum world.

1316
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:12,000
He runs his museum world of Solemnase, if I'm saying that correctly.

1317
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,000
It's an entire world that's literally a museum.

1318
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,000
And it's a museum of history.

1319
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:24,000
There's all kinds of crazy things in there, like things from the War in Heaven all the way up to modern time.

1320
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,000
I think they actually woke up before the fall of the Eldar, actually.

1321
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Not long before, but because Orican mentions in the book,

1322
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:38,000
he had to basically go meditate for a century straight after he realized what the hell the Eldar had done,

1323
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,000
because it freaked him out that much.

1324
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:44,000
I think also Trazin had to grab loads of things very quickly.

1325
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
When the Heresy happened, he had to grab loads of things.

1326
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,000
Trazerman, gotta catch up.

1327
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,000
Orican is...

1328
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:54,000
I'm having this, I'm having this. Doesn't he like nick something from Istvan or something like that?

1329
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:58,000
Oh yeah, he's like a salamander, and things like that.

1330
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:08,000
And Orican, his opposite, is a cryptech, so his specialty is he has the power of science, essentially,

1331
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,000
and he can manipulate time.

1332
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,000
I like science.

1333
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:18,000
He does time travel within Necrons, but it does have some rules on it.

1334
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:25,000
They can't go back and change entire things, but essentially Orican can rewind time on himself

1335
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:29,000
and divinate some things in the future too.

1336
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,000
So you have something, Colin?

1337
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:39,000
It's very much you need to know exactly what you're doing and have some level of strength and expertise,

1338
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,000
and then make a point of saying that well, Orican can do it.

1339
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:48,000
He's pretty much the only one who can so reliably go back and fudge the numbers, as it were,

1340
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,000
to make sure things turn out how he wants it to,

1341
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,000
which is also part of why he's such a good diviner,

1342
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:59,000
because he cheats, because the time goes forward and then he goes back in time.

1343
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,000
I'm being crazy.

1344
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:05,000
He's like, this will happen, everyone, and then it happens because he saw it happen.

1345
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaking of that, though, we do want to mention, as the rivalry begins between them,

1346
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:17,000
because they want to battle over the secrets of the Tomb of Nefret,

1347
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:26,000
basically everything gets taken up in the wake of their just complete absurd shenanigans.

1348
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:31,000
They even cause problems on a world named Serenade,

1349
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:36,000
which started off as a maiden world in the beginning of the book filled with Eldar exodites,

1350
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:41,000
which we'll explain more about them, I think, more in a Eldar specific video,

1351
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,000
because they're actually kind of their own cool subject.

1352
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:51,000
And then the world essentially fills the wrath of these two playing games and shenanigans.

1353
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,000
They literally were spitting on each other, if they could,

1354
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,000
and they literally are so petty and they insult each other throughout the book.

1355
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:03,000
The world of Serenade is set up by Eldar, then by humans,

1356
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:06,000
and eventually some genestealers show up at some point.

1357
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,000
Again, not too spoilery.

1358
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:11,000
And they commit loads of war crimes against each other.

1359
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:18,000
Again, my favourite ones are like, they eventually are forced to work together at some point,

1360
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:26,000
and Trezin, because he's such a goofball, he throws a genestealer at Orokin whilst he's meditating,

1361
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:31,000
because he thought it'd be funny, and that ends up causing massive problems for the world.

1362
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,000
And then there's also one with Orokin, as I said earlier,

1363
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:42,000
there was a preliminary court system established as some of the Necrons were waking up early.

1364
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,000
And Trezin had took Orokin to court for breaking into his museum,

1365
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:52,000
and Orokin proceeds to rewind time so that he doesn't lose the argument.

1366
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,000
And everyone's going, what's going on?

1367
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,000
And Trezin's like, something weird is happening.

1368
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:57,000
I feel odd.

1369
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:03,000
And he's noticing something on Orokin's staff, or one of his tools,

1370
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,000
is like burning red hot.

1371
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,000
Yeah, it's one of the things Trezin is wearing.

1372
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,000
Why is it so hot?

1373
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:13,000
Orokin is actually rewinding time so he can win the argument.

1374
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:19,000
And they eventually do work together, they're forced to work together by the other Necron court,

1375
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:26,000
because they're just like, listen, you guys are so petty that we can't deal with you anymore.

1376
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:30,000
So they force them to work together under pain of being erased.

1377
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:35,000
And I really like those characters who are just like, you two are being children,

1378
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,000
could you stop messing around for five minutes?

1379
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:39,000
And it's so funny.

1380
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:43,000
The judge even says, like, we're going to punish you in the worst way we possibly can,

1381
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,000
we're going to make you work with each other.

1382
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,000
Yes, they are eventually forced to work together.

1383
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:52,000
And to say it's actually really probably one of the better parts of the book,

1384
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:58,000
just because they complement each other so well with Trezin's infinite resources

1385
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:03,000
and his ability to like blink into other Necrons and sort of become like to over,

1386
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:08,000
basically take over a Necron and Orokin's powers, which are incredibly useful.

1387
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:13,000
But to the horror they do discover there's a dark truth behind the Tomb of Nefref,

1388
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:18,000
which I won't spoil here, because again, if someone wanted to read more books,

1389
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:26,000
this is the book to start with in terms of, it's just so, it'll start you on a big journey

1390
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:29,000
and you'll be, we'll be there holding your hand and you'll love it so much.

1391
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:34,000
But just a few things about the book I thought was interesting that the book does show

1392
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:41,000
the intricacies of Necron life, how their memories as a Necron is perfect.

1393
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,000
So they remember everything like a machine would,

1394
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:48,000
but their time when they were Necron-tier feels like a dream, kind of like they remember it,

1395
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:51,000
like how you wake up and you kind of remember your dream,

1396
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:54,000
but then throughout the day if someone asked you like, oh, what happened in your dream?

1397
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,000
And it's like, oh, the details are more fuzzy.

1398
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Memories of memories of memories.

1399
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Yeah. And it's a bit, they all feel a bit sad about that as well.

1400
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:08,000
Like they're kind of like, oh, I don't really remember who I was before.

1401
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:13,000
And it also showed the different ideas, as I mentioned in the beginning,

1402
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:19,000
about how they'd have different ideas or the different aspects of Necrons now

1403
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,000
who feel differently about being Necron.

1404
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,000
Like Trozin's probably one of the few who are actually like okay with it.

1405
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:26,000
I'm just remorse.

1406
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Yeah. Well, Trozin funny enough, he actually like somewhat enjoys being an immortal,

1407
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:38,000
because he wants to be a museum curator and being an immortal robot is kind of perfect for that,

1408
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,000
whereas Orokin doesn't.

1409
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:44,000
I mean, he was again, like as I said earlier, he was against the transformation

1410
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:51,000
and that is the secrets behind the tomb is sort of linked to how they both see the future for the Necron race.

1411
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Again, I don't want to spoil too much of that because it's such, such a good book.

1412
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:03,000
And they, yeah, they sort of have different, it's an interesting conclusion about some of them want to,

1413
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:07,000
maybe some could embrace flesh again, but then some of them are like,

1414
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:10,000
why would I want to eventually die and get old and stuff like that?

1415
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:14,000
And then others go, but what if we send it to a higher form of existence?

1416
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:19,000
And there's like, oh, and then some of them, sometimes they find out what that would really be like.

1417
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:23,000
And it's kind of horrifying too. But again, no more spoilers than that.

1418
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,000
And we don't care going ahead anyways.

1419
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:32,000
Do you want to raise in quote? It's a long one, but it's like a classic from the fifth edition codex type of quote.

1420
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Is it a letter he wrote by chance?

1421
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Yeah, yeah, it's a classic.

1422
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:38,000
This one's great.

1423
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:40,000
Well then, Colin can read it.

1424
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,000
Ah, thank you.

1425
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,000
All right, I hope I didn't interrupt anything important.

1426
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,000
No, no, I was finished there too.

1427
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,000
So this is the perfect, perfect.

1428
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:53,000
I love this quote.

1429
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:58,000
Dear lady, let me express my fulsome appreciation for your most generous gift.

1430
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:03,000
It is so very rare to discover another of my own kind that appreciates my work.

1431
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:09,000
Therefore, to find understanding amongst a memory of another race is nothing short of a revelation.

1432
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:11,000
I realize that you briefly trod my galleries,

1433
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:17,000
but the fact that you spotted in so short a time that my acabrious war collection was lacking three regiments of catechon warriors

1434
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:21,000
reveals that you truly have a collector's eye for detail.

1435
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:28,000
And to send five regiments, such generosity will allow me to weed out and replace a few of the more substandard pieces in my collection.

1436
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:34,000
If I might level a minor criticism, the instructions issued to your gift were manifestly not as clear as you thought,

1437
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,000
as most of them had to be forcibly restrained.

1438
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:43,000
Sadly, it seems that the lower orders will always behave like an army of invasion, whether that be their purpose or not.

1439
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:48,000
However, this is a minor complaint and seems almost churlish under the circumstances,

1440
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,000
so please allow me to repay your gift with one of my own.

1441
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,000
Accompanying this message is the Hyperstone Maze,

1442
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:58,000
one of the series of tesseract labyrinths constructed at the height of the...

1443
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,000
...Charnavuk dynasty. That took me a minute.

1444
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:05,000
It is a trinket, really, only of interest to scholars such as you and I,

1445
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:10,000
but I trust you will find it amusing, assuming you have the wit to escape its clutches, of course.

1446
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:14,000
What a fucking goblin he is.

1447
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,000
Master Troll.

1448
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:20,000
When we said he was petty, we forgot to mention he's conniving, too.

1449
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,000
Quite.

1450
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Tom and Jerry, except Tom has the power of the Star God, so that's fine.

1451
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Literally.

1452
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:34,000
Oh man, I'm like going through my old credits right now.

1453
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:38,000
There's a quote on every other page. What the heck happened to Games Workshop, man?

1454
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:42,000
Whatever. I'll always be salty about that kind of stuff.

1455
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:45,000
They had to sell more Primaris Space Marine lieutenants, that's all that happens.

1456
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,000
So they lost the cool Codex budget.

1457
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:53,000
It's something I'm salty about every day, but you know how it would be.

1458
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Back to the Necrons in the 41st millennium.

1459
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,000
They've all woken up now that these guys are done.

1460
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:07,000
One thing, actually, I think one of my favorite parts of the book is the scale of time that things happen in.

1461
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:14,000
The events that Trazen and Orkan go through happen hundreds, sometimes thousands of years apart.

1462
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Sometimes Orkan will be like, oh, it's been 200 years and Trazen hasn't tried to break into my studies. That's so nice.

1463
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:28,000
And then 300 years later he sends a comment, and then 400 years later he sends another comment. Yeah, stuff like that.

1464
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:35,000
They have time because they are literally immortal and likely they're never going to die, bar extreme accidents.

1465
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:39,000
So time is quite irrelevant to the Necrons indeed.

1466
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:45,000
And their court system is basically just an exaggerated version of our court system.

1467
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:50,000
And Trazen was saying, oh man, this is going to take forever.

1468
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,000
Our regular court case takes like a thousand years.

1469
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:57,000
We were so lucky to get this done in a hundred years type of thing.

1470
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:01,000
Yeah. Another funny part, I'm spoiling, maybe this isn't a spoiler, whatever.

1471
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:06,000
Funny part that I thought was they don't use chairs.

1472
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:12,000
They just turn their legs off and basically sit in their legs. That was fun.

1473
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:18,000
So yeah, their tireless bodies, they're better than us in every single way you could ever imagine.

1474
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,000
Don't worry about it. They don't have souls.

1475
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Yeah, that is, you know, they're actually worse than us in every single way, but that's kind of the lesson that you learn from the Necrons.

1476
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:34,000
You should also read the Twice-Ted King books. They're my favorite Warhammer books, I think. They're really, really good.

1477
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,000
Where are our wars?

1478
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,000
It's worth it.

1479
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:43,000
So I think we can get to the...

1480
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Yeah, the Necrons have woken up. They've been killing people, scaring people.

1481
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:55,000
Usually a lot of times a Tomb World will wake up on a recently habitated planet where Settaways have touched down

1482
01:38:55,000 --> 01:39:05,000
and now all of a sudden there are these horrifying skeletal demon robots crawling out of the ground and killing everyone and they care for nobody.

1483
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:11,000
I think one of my favorite quotes is from...

1484
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:19,000
A quote that sums up the Necrons very well is from one of the Lords on Damnos and it says,

1485
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:26,000
We are the Necrontyr, we are legion, we claim dominion of this world, surrender and die.

1486
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:31,000
And then in the book the guy's like, surely they mean surrender or die, right?

1487
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,000
They did not mean that. They certainly did not.

1488
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,000
Necrons have no care at all for us.

1489
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:43,000
But we can talk about the dynasties now, I think, because we've kind of talked about the state that they're in.

1490
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:49,000
The main reason the Necrons have not taken over the universe is because they're jerks.

1491
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:51,000
They hate each other.

1492
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:54,000
They don't necessarily hate each other, but there's so much...

1493
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,000
There's literally rivalries from millions of years ago that they're still settling.

1494
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:10,000
And so politics, like in most things, is kind of slowing down everything and making their reawakening and taking over the galaxy a lot harder.

1495
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Because half of the Necrons are fighting each other, which is so wasteful and stupid, obviously.

1496
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:18,000
But it's just how it is.

1497
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:24,000
The hierarchy of the Necrons goes the Triarch, which I'm pretty sure is now just the Silent King.

1498
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Then Pherons, which are rulers of the dynasties. Then Overlords, which will be rulers of a cluster of planets or a system.

1499
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:34,000
They have many legions. A Lord is a ruler of a single world.

1500
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,000
And then there's random nobles of the courts of Lords and Overlords.

1501
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:43,000
Cryptex are usually in these courts, but they're more independent and they do whatever they want.

1502
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,000
The greater the court, the greater the Lord's military might.

1503
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:51,000
And many nobles... It's like any aristocrat or bureaucracy, aristocracy, whatever.

1504
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:58,000
There's tons of different titles. Like in the book, one of the old guys had the title of like...

1505
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:03,000
He was the head of the farms, basically, which is obviously a completely useless title now.

1506
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:08,000
But because he has that title, by law he's supposed to be given some Necron legions.

1507
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,000
So he has a few warriors to spare.

1508
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:14,000
Then after the random nobles, it would go Lichguard, and then Immortals.

1509
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:18,000
And then at the bottom of the chain would be warriors.

1510
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,000
And then I guess Kenoptics, I guess, but they don't really count.

1511
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,000
So that's how they are right now.

1512
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:31,000
The dynasties, I have a few of them that I wrote down basic things about them.

1513
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:35,000
Because there's like literally hundreds of them.

1514
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Some of them have lore, some of them have nothing.

1515
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:45,000
I fleshed out a little more in the recent Dynasties, I think largely because in 8th and 9th edition you had subfaction rules.

1516
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:50,000
They had to think up lore for these dynasties finally that they had to give different rules to Necrons.

1517
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:54,000
But the main one is the Sotek dynasty.

1518
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:57,000
Also the main one is the Sazerikan dynasty.

1519
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,000
It's kind of hard to say which one is going to be the more powerful.

1520
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,000
I think they have a bit of a rivalry.

1521
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:08,000
The Sazerikan dynasty is the Silent King's dynasty, who likely hold the most power and influence over the Necrons at the moment.

1522
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:11,000
They're not the biggest because that's the Sotek dynasty.

1523
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:14,000
But the Sazerikan have the Silent King now that he's back.

1524
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:18,000
They contain a large amount of old relics and epic stuff.

1525
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:22,000
Then we have the Sotek dynasty, which is the largest due to their pharaoh, Imhotek the Storm Lord.

1526
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,000
The greatest commander and strategist in the entire galaxy.

1527
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,000
Tough stuff, fleshlings.

1528
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:31,000
They are implacable and unstoppable with him as their leader.

1529
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:35,000
And I have their hierarchy, their specific hierarchy right here.

1530
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:39,000
And this is going to be very boring to some people, but I think it's pretty cool, so whatever.

1531
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:42,000
Orkan the Diviner is the Astromancer of their royal court.

1532
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Imhotek is the pharaoh, of course.

1533
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:52,000
And then we have Nargrin Navgrin the Eternal, who's the High Transmeter and Omni Mutander.

1534
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:59,000
I don't know what half the things mean, but it's a good way to show the intricacies of the Necrons.

1535
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:06,000
Typical Necrons are like, we're going to make it sound really over the top just to show off how smart we are.

1536
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,000
They sound like cool names.

1537
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:13,000
Yeah, there's Overlord of Obdavac, who's Overlord of the Sotak Fringe Worlds.

1538
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:23,000
Fringe Worlds are worlds that are far away, because there's the Crown World, and then there's the Core Worlds, and then there's the Fringe Worlds.

1539
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:25,000
The Fringe Worlds are kind of like outposts.

1540
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:30,000
Then on the other side there's Vargard Ossiris, who's his bodyguard to Imhotek.

1541
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:35,000
Off to the side on his own, I want lore for this guy so bad I don't think he has any,

1542
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:47,000
because in his picture it's a guy with a scythe on a skeleton horse, and his Lord High Adjudicator, Kremethel, enforcer of the Codes of Battle.

1543
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:49,000
What the heck, that sounds so cool.

1544
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:55,000
And then on the second tier is Nemesor Zahendrik, probably the most fun Necron character.

1545
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:58,000
And then he's with Vargard O'Byron and a few other guys.

1546
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:04,000
We have the Corpse Lord, Viscount of the Blood Palace, another cool sounding thing with no lore probably.

1547
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:08,000
These all have old classic arts too, so oh man, it's cool.

1548
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:12,000
There's a lot more on here, but I'm not going to read all of it, because that would be kind of horrible.

1549
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,000
But it's just kind of a good way to show the software.

1550
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:20,000
I'm surprised they don't have the title of Rubik's Cube Polisher or something.

1551
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:24,000
Well they do, they literally have random titles for freaking everything.

1552
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:32,000
Some lords will surround themselves with actual buffoons and goofballs, who have the most outlandish, stupid titles,

1553
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,000
that you would never even think of.

1554
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:38,000
But any court is better than no court, so it says in here.

1555
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,000
He's insane.

1556
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:41,000
Yeah, literally.

1557
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:46,000
The loneliness is probably the biggest issue for most Necrons nowadays, I would say.

1558
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,000
Yeah, because it makes them crazy.

1559
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:58,000
And Ultex, the Twicet King overlord, makes a point to talk to his legions, even though they don't care.

1560
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:04,000
Because many lords and overlords go insane because they just stop talking, because there's no actual need for it.

1561
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,000
In fact, it would be inefficient to speak.

1562
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,000
But yeah.

1563
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Next we have the Mephret Dynasty, which is where Enricri the Traveler comes from.

1564
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:19,000
They're experts at harnessing the power of stars, and they have technology that can make stars go supernova.

1565
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:26,000
They are greatly employed in the War of Heaven due to this ability, because they can literally end solar systems with their bare hands.

1566
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Not their bare hands, but you know what I mean. They can make things that end solar systems.

1567
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,000
And they can still do that theoretically.

1568
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:36,000
Novak, which is my personal tabletop favourite, because they're the melee guys, they're bloody and murderous fighters.

1569
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:41,000
They give credit to the ancient rites of blooding, which is very un-Necrony.

1570
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:47,000
The war is very hard to... it's very inconsistent through novels and codexes and stuff.

1571
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,000
It's kind of hard to tell what some Necrons think of flesh, what others think.

1572
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,000
So it's more of a...

1573
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:54,000
Yeah, basically.

1574
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,000
It's more consistent than Convalyptus.

1575
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:03,000
They remember the ancient rites, so they paint their armour in red and fight in close quarters combat with a lot of warrior pride.

1576
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,000
And there's the Nefrek Dynasty.

1577
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Their crown world has trinary stars, which I assume it means it has a source system with three stars, I guess.

1578
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:21,000
They use this as an energy source to fuel their crazy, not actual magic, but cryptic magics, as they've unlocked this thing called Metagold.

1579
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:32,000
So their legions are all gold and glittering and they're masters of translocation, which is another thing phase-shifting is something the Necrons are really good at, and it's more impossible technology.

1580
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:43,000
It projects the person out of reality and in reality at the same time, constantly, so when you hit them, they're out of reality, so they're invulnerable, in a sense.

1581
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:56,000
Anyways, the Nihilic Dynasty contains the head of a Yitsir, which is some kind of Xenos creature, but they use this preserved head to scry the future, because it's a future-seen head, which is freaking cool.

1582
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:01,000
Sometimes it's spiteful, though, so it'll lie to them just as much as it tells the truth at times.

1583
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:10,000
Their realm is taken by lesser beings, so they now are very war-hungry and march relentlessly to reclaim their territory.

1584
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:24,000
And lastly, the Obdebeck Dynasty, just a fun shout-out to those guys. They're expert craftsmen and stone workers, and their skill has carried over to the time of the machine, as they have some great Necromancers and wield big ol' hammers.

1585
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:28,000
It's just fun and cool. The Obdebeck lord in the books is lots of fun.

1586
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:37,000
The main weapon of the Necrons is the Gauss weapons. Gauss weapons, sorry, I said it wrong in a video and I was hung-encoded for it.

1587
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:50,000
These weapons completely destroy an enemy by breaking them apart atom by atom, and the green energy blasts work all the way down into the molecular bonds of a being, allowing them to destroy the toughest enemies, and they can even pierce through vehicles.

1588
01:47:50,000 --> 01:48:01,000
The old rules, tabletop rules, had it so that your Gauss weapons could basically do hall points to any vehicle, no matter their armor value, I'm pretty sure. I think you just had to roll a six.

1589
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Being shot by these weapons is like one of the most extremely painful to die in the whole galaxy.

1590
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:16,000
They create magnetic tensions that cause atomic tearing of the victim. Not bad.

1591
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:21,000
So, that's the Dynasty, that's kind of the state of Necrons right now.

1592
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:28,000
To the Necrons, when you read their books, they're kind of, they seem pretty normal, not normal, they have their issues, but...

1593
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Quite human, in a way.

1594
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Yeah, they're human to them, but if you read it from a human perspective, they are like death incarnate, they are these horrifying skeletal monsters that crawl up from the ground and descend upon the planets, and they're absolutely horrifying.

1595
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,000
That Ninth Edition trailer, I think.

1596
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:49,000
It's down to a T.

1597
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:57,000
Yeah, buddy. Yeah, the old Necrons were even scarier, they had a lot less personality and were a lot more destroyer-y.

1598
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:05,000
I didn't get to read through my third edition Necrons quotas before this, which makes me really sad, because old Necrons lore is kind of baller, but the new Necrons lore is cool, too.

1599
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:09,000
I think that sums up the Dynasty pretty well.

1600
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:16,000
So, we can go talk about characters now, because I think this is already over an hour and something, and talking about characters has been two minutes.

1601
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:17,000
Two hours.

1602
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:18,000
Wait, what?

1603
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Hour 49 and 48.

1604
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Oh, I can't wait to edit this, guys!

1605
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:30,000
Surely I will see the gates of Baldur someday.

1606
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:39,000
You'll be saved all the anger when Shadowheart misses her tenth consecutive attack.

1607
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:43,000
Oh man, I want to throw goblins at people.

1608
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:44,000
I love goblins.

1609
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Anyways, we shouldn't get off our track this is so long.

1610
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,000
Let's get into the characters.

1611
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:56,000
How can I talk about the most important one, because I somehow know almost none of his lore recently is the Siren King.

1612
01:49:56,000 --> 01:50:00,000
Good old Sarek or Sazarek.

1613
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Everyone pronounced it differently, but I'm going to go with Sazarek of the Sarekin dynasty, which was the Siren King known as the last Siren King of the Necrontea slash Necrons.

1614
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:16,000
He was the one who basically made the deal with the Kitarn.

1615
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:27,000
So, as I said before, there have been other silent kings throughout much of Necrontea history, but he would be the last and probably the final one ever.

1616
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:37,000
And obviously, I think Eli mentioned it earlier, he's called the Siren King because he doesn't talk to anyone other than his triarch, so he sort of whispers to them.

1617
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,000
That's why he seems like a silent ruler.

1618
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:59,000
And, you know, he was the one, ultimately it's on his shoulders, so early he feels a lot of guilt for sort of agreeing to the Kitarn's deal and his famous, obviously particularly more for his act of vengeance for destroying the Kitarn into shards.

1619
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:02,000
Sorry, destroy them into shards.

1620
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:05,000
But since that, you're probably thinking, well, where's he been the entire time?

1621
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:07,000
Why is he not?

1622
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:10,000
But was he asleep? Was he asleep in the stasis too?

1623
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:15,000
He wasn't. He just felt loads of, obviously, reasonable guilt for what he had done to his people.

1624
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:25,000
So after the Kitarn was shattered, he severed the command protocol within him, so he could not forcibly command any of the Necrons.

1625
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:29,000
And he left the Milky Way galaxy for millions of years.

1626
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:33,000
And this is not just him wandering, obviously possibly in ships.

1627
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:42,000
And it's still somewhat mysterious about what he did in that time, obviously 65 million years or 60 million years, possibly a long, long, long time.

1628
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:49,000
So we don't know what he saw or did, but it's somewhat implied that he saw the Tyranid threat.

1629
01:51:49,000 --> 01:52:02,000
And that is the ultimate reason why he's returned to the Milky Way galaxy, because, you know, the Necrons do believe in a sort of divine right to rule, but there's nothing to rule if the Tyranids eat it all.

1630
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:07,000
It's not very good. So he ultimately seeks again to unify his people.

1631
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:12,000
The Silent King, Xaracus, also met Dante of the Blood Angels.

1632
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:18,000
It's one of the first few meetings of the Necrons with the Imperium.

1633
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:26,000
And it's actually quite a cool scene because Dante and the Blood Angel are fighting the Necrons originally on this planet,

1634
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:29,000
and they're like basically cranking through them and telling them that all the Necrons have stopped.

1635
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:37,000
And like they go, what the hell's going on? And the Necrons basically say, this is an error in calculations.

1636
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:42,000
Come meet with the Silent King. And they were like, oh, the Silent King. I thought it was a rumor.

1637
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:50,000
I didn't know there was an actual king of the Necrons. And they kind of go to meet the Silent King and they approach up to Xarac.

1638
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:55,000
And they actually have bombs planted in like their the tank that they rode up in.

1639
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:03,000
They have like triggers in their gauntlets. And Dante thinking, if I could take out the Silent King here, you know, it's all, you know, that'd be great.

1640
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,000
We did it. And then there'll be a good win for the Imperium.

1641
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:14,000
And then they look upon the Silent King and he's wearing a mask of Sanguineous, one that's eerily similar to the one that Dante has.

1642
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:21,000
But it's of Sanguineous smiling. And it's the Silent King. He actually starts whispers to Dante.

1643
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:26,000
Obviously, the Silent King, by the way, as a model, even as a regular Necron, he's actually huge.

1644
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,000
He's like just a little bit bigger than even some of the bigger Necrons.

1645
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:36,000
So he creeps down to Dante, whispering into him, you know, hey, buddy, we need to make a deal.

1646
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:41,000
So a little bit godfathery.

1647
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:48,000
And it's implied that the Silent King implies that he possibly met Sanguineous and he liked Sanguineous.

1648
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:51,000
But again, we don't know if he's lying or not.

1649
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:52,000
That's ringing a bell, isn't it?

1650
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:56,000
He might be. He might be lying. We don't know.

1651
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:59,000
But he's wearing a mask of Sanguineous.

1652
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:03,000
And the sort of they agree to make a deal with the Blood Angels to fight out the Tyranids.

1653
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:10,000
It's implied that the his whole purpose of returning is to unite his people and somewhat face the Tyranid threat.

1654
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:18,000
Obviously, the Necrons do plan to awaken from the tombs and rule and obviously Tyranids eating all their tomb worlds

1655
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:20,000
and eating all the plates that they want to rule over is no good.

1656
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:30,000
So he is returned to the setting and he has some delicious Kitarn shards in prisons because he is the one who helped kill them or shatter them.

1657
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:41,000
So he's a he's a cool character and obviously his tail top model is ginormous, huge and worth over a hundred smackaroonies.

1658
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:46,000
So it's a birthday slash Christmas gift for any Necron players out there.

1659
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:51,000
Check it out after this if you're thinking about getting some big purchases.

1660
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:54,000
But Eli will talk about some other really cool characters.

1661
01:54:54,000 --> 01:55:00,000
Also, we mentioned Orokin and Trezin. There's a bit more on them, I'm sure, but we'll go over if you want.

1662
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:05,000
Yeah, I can. Yeah. I also have a quote that I forgot to send earlier.

1663
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:09,000
This is a really short one. Maybe, you know, how can we how's it really cool yet?

1664
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:14,000
It's this alt text says this when he's fighting against the Space Marines.

1665
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:19,000
Is that in hashtag gin? Let me see this.

1666
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:25,000
They're still using solid munitions. How did these primitives ever leave orbit?

1667
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:30,000
That's right. Energy, energy. Well, this monkey's to these guys.

1668
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:37,000
So going down the line, the second most important Necron would be Emotech, the Storm Lord.

1669
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:42,000
He has a cool quote. So I like my quotes. What can I say?

1670
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Says order unity obedience. We taught the galaxy these things long ago and we will do so again.

1671
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:59,000
Emotech has recently risen only to find his dynasty, the Sautech dynasty, engulfed in a civil war because the Sautech dynasty.

1672
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:07,000
Opened up, you know, the caskets and everyone was killing each other. So they eventually severed the.

1673
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:16,000
What's the word? Sorry, the regeneration, the reanimation protocols of all the nobles because it was getting so ridiculous and they stopped waking everyone up.

1674
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:29,000
So Emotech was woken up by a specifically ambitious overlord, noble random guy, and he was hoping that he's like, oh, I'm going to wake up Emotech and he's going to be so thankful that I woke him up in this time.

1675
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:43,000
And he's going to help me win the war. Instead, Emotech wakes up and he sees what's going on and he's not happy. He immediately kills this noble and he musters his own armies and ends the civil war basically overnight because he's just that good.

1676
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:53,000
And he has since ravaged his way through the immediate galaxy. I think he's done something like conquered 80 plus planets in the last century, something like ridiculous like that.

1677
01:56:53,000 --> 01:57:05,000
His brain is just incomprehensible, vast logic compendium where he can the processing power would kill a human being basically if they were to be able to think as he does.

1678
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:17,000
He can stage a counter defense on one world while leading personally leading an attack on another and then counter maneuvering someone else across the galaxy all the same time.

1679
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:31,000
He can summon these lightning storms that cause complete fear and utter dismay for the people who go in them and the people who go in them might come out with blood swarm nanoscarabs inside of them, which will attract played ones to them.

1680
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:41,000
He's been kind of crusading through the galaxy waking up two worlds and oftentimes necronormals would just immediately bend the knee because they know they have no chance of beating this guy.

1681
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:51,000
He has defeated every grand strategist. I don't know if he's actually ever lost a battle. It's I think the book says that he hasn't as Warhammer. Of course, you never know.

1682
01:57:51,000 --> 01:58:01,000
But specifically, hellbrecht was the you know, we cheated today's today's big loser is Mr. Hellbrecht.

1683
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:15,000
I have a quote for him. I wish I could send this to Andy, but I have to type it all out. I was reading it is this is him speaking to Marshall hellbrecht during the battle for Schrodinger.

1684
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:22,000
That's a planet, I guess. You have ruled this galaxy for 10,000 years, yet have little of account to show for your efforts.

1685
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:29,000
Such failures must be as depressing to bear as it is pathetic to behold. Freaking got him, dude.

1686
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:34,000
Yeah, then he like wrecked his like flagship later on. So it's like revenge.

1687
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:39,000
So he got some hellbrecht. He's a sector of a necron. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1688
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:44,000
I wonder if him and the silent king will have kind of a standoff or even a fight. We'll have to find out.

1689
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:49,000
Probably. I don't think they like each other. Well, Amo tech probably doesn't like him.

1690
01:58:49,000 --> 01:59:13,000
The he has to he has one thing that goes against his very logistical brain or whatever you want to call it for the necrons. He has quite the warrior pride and instead of killing opponents, he will often like he did to help wrecked cut off his hand and then run away laughing after utterly defeating them because he just like drinks in their despair and shame of losing and he wants to do it again sometime.

1691
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:21,000
And he had fun beating them type of thing. Isn't he also crazy? He's like he's actually like bonkers like he thinks he's still doesn't he say.

1692
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:24,000
Oh, that's a different necron. We'll talk about him in a second.

1693
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:46,000
But in the times of flesh, so he was so incredible of a command brutal of a commander was this guy that there was a necron idiom. I think it's the word like a metaphor that was based off of him. It was called gone like the koovoo, which is an enemy dynasty that Amo tech had completely wiped out. And they use they say this when they completely finish their plate of food.

1694
01:59:46,000 --> 02:00:04,000
So if you like wipe a plate clean, you'll say that's gone like the koovoo for your dinner. Yeah, he's balling dude. He's freaking cool. Even the old ones were afraid to have him. It was said the old ones these godlike beings were afraid of one dude. Man, I sure love Mr. Amo tech the storm lord.

1695
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:31,000
I read a theory online just a theory. So don't take this as canon. But that the only enemy he really can't predict is the orcs. Yeah, I was gonna say that that is that's not a theory that's real. Oh, no, no, that's not that like the theory was that like the orcs were specifically made to counteract Amo tech because the old ones are like we can't this guy sucks. I hate dealing with him.

1696
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:49,000
So they like this here goes they made the crook just you know the stupid dumb brutes because they're basically too stupid for him to plan around. That's a fun theory. I've never Yeah, I saw I interrupted you. I was gonna say that he has the orcs. He's so perfectly logical and predict every single movement.

1697
02:00:49,000 --> 02:01:08,000
The only way to have a chance against him. Oh tech is to completely put no decision into anything you do and do random garbage. And that's what the orcs do. So he gets really tilted when he has to fight against the orcs because he just can't predict their next move. That is a fun theory. At the same time, the crook were probably a lot smarter than the orcs.

1698
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:30,000
I feel like it was just like a I like it sounds cool. I think it's fun. Yeah, we'll go with that theory. So all right, right under him. Oh tech is the next greatest general in the galaxy. Mr. Nemes or Zandrick, who is probably my favorite Necron character. He is arguably he's potentially better than a mo tech.

1699
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:52,000
But it's kind of hard to say because you know, he's the best tactician in one text back tactician. John's back test, you know, you know, gone and on and how it goes in Warhammer. But Nemes or Zandrick is one of if not the best tactician in the galaxy, probably along with guys like the lion and as a man and the likes.

1700
02:01:52,000 --> 02:02:11,000
His little work though is that he's actually crazy. In a way, he's he's very, he's very intelligent. And, you know, he knows how to talk. He does. He's not that kind of crazy, but he's crazy. And the fact that he is constantly living in the past, and he perceives reality as if he was still in the time of flesh.

1701
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:23,000
So when he's fighting other beings, he sees them as enemy dynasties, who are part of a civil war. And so he abides to all the codes of combat, making him probably one of the most honorable commands in the entire galaxy.

1702
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:44,000
He'll capture enemy commanders instead of killing them and like feed them, put them in his nice cozy little prison and talk to them and hang out with them. He's fun. He's accompanied by Vargard Oberon, who is his lumbering towering Lich Guard, very almost kind of like a Lord, I guess.

1703
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Bodyguard, who helps the Nemesaur in every single way possible. He's always at his side and when he's not, he has a Ghost Walk mantle, which allows him to travel across the plains and right appear beside Nemesaur once again.

1704
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:21,000
But he doesn't only protect him on the field of battle, he also protects him in the realm of politics, because it makes sense that Nemesaur is not really great at politics with his state of mind. But Oberon makes sure to shoot down any political ploys and kill any assassins with ease. He's really fun and he's a very cool character on the tabletop.

1705
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:22,000
And what not.

1706
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:26,000
And an interaction with the White Scars, didn't they, with Korsaro? They had a little bit of a scuffle.

1707
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:29,000
That sounds cool. I've not read that book, but now I would like to.

1708
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:36,000
Yeah, he's like the escape from the guy in charge of the bodyguard. He's like, I'll let you go, because you're cool. He's like, okay, bye.

1709
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:42,000
Here's a fun little Sandrick quote. Sorry with all the quotes, I just love him so much. He says,

1710
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:56,000
See, Oberon, the separatists come, attempting to outflank me just as they did at the fourth battle of Vindak. How they calculate that daubing themselves green and rolling like savages will produce a different outcome. I cannot fathom, but it is of no account.

1711
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:03,000
Ready my legions, another glorious victory shall be ours. He's saying this prior to the crushing defeat of Raw Bloodtooth.

1712
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:07,000
Funny guy.

1713
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:08,000
Yes?

1714
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:16,000
I read, I don't know if it was his creator, but someone who wrote a story for him said he was based kind of off his uncle who had dementia.

1715
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:17,000
Oh, interesting.

1716
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:24,000
Because it's like, I think there's a passage where like, Zandrick kind of, for a moment, he's talking to Oberon, he's like,

1717
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:35,000
If we really were turned into, you know, unfeeling metal space Egyptian Terminators, wouldn't it be better to just pretend we weren't and enjoy life for what it is?

1718
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:45,000
And I think it's like the thing is like with dementia, there can be moments where you're briefly like, yeah, like where they're their old selves, but they fade in and out.

1719
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:52,000
So I think that was kind of the vibe they were going through with Zandrick, the creator. He was like, he's sometimes he's playing it up a bit.

1720
02:04:52,000 --> 02:05:00,000
But other times he really does just not have those full faculties, which is very interesting.

1721
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,000
It's good, but also just sad.

1722
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:09,000
Yeah, I really like him. He's one of my favorite characters, I think. Need more lore on him.

1723
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:11,000
Also dabbing.

1724
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Did you say dabbing?

1725
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,000
He's dabbing, look at him.

1726
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,000
Oh yeah, you're right.

1727
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:19,000
I have the credits open right now on his picture.

1728
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:25,000
He probably is one of those, how you doing fellow kids kind of guys, I bet.

1729
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:27,000
I just saw him in the piece.

1730
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:39,000
Love me name is Sorzandric. Next down the line is Illuminor Cezares, who's basically Necron Fabius Bio, which is like just a horrible combination.

1731
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:45,000
Obviously, he's all the bad parts of Fabius Bio and none of the good parts.

1732
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:49,000
He's pretty reprehensible.

1733
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:52,000
Fabius is a bit bad, I don't know. He's got that going for him.

1734
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Fabius has some great to him. This guy's got none.

1735
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:59,000
This guy's just a jerk. He's really awful.

1736
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:07,000
His whole thing is that he thinks the Necrons are on a path of evolution, and biotransference was just part of that evolutionary process.

1737
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:16,000
He kind of has the same opinion as Orkan, I think, is that he wants to evolve the Necron race to beings of light and like godhood, basically.

1738
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:20,000
So he's constantly trying to find the mysteries of life.

1739
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:24,000
But since he himself is not alive, he will probably never find them.

1740
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:34,000
Using the great technology that the Necron has, he can keep all of his subjects alive as he performs the most horrific surgeries and tests on them that you could ever think of.

1741
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:39,000
He has no interest in dead things. He's trying to find the mysteries of life.

1742
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:52,000
Theoretically, he's still making pariahs, which are a sort of retcons, not really, retcon Necron unit, where they would take blanks of other races, mostly humans,

1743
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:57,000
and put them through biotransference to make these pariahs. It was kind of like their anti-psychers thing.

1744
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:06,000
They were kind of like mini-Eversaur, that's not the right assassin. They were mini whatever assassins, the blank ones, but as Necrons.

1745
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:18,000
So they were really cool units that are not really in the lore, but recently Zerath captured that kind of assassin. Is it an Emissaur assassin? Is that what they're called?

1746
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:30,000
I can't remember. Is it the top of my head? Oh yeah, I think that's the sound. Emissaur is the crazy one. It's not a big deal. I should hurry it up.

1747
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:36,000
Next, I'm talking about all of them, because they're all really cool characters, and we can go through quickly.

1748
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:43,000
Anarkir, the Traveler, is another one of my favorites. Spoiler alert, all of the characters are my favorite.

1749
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:55,000
He is one of the more noble Necrons. He's probably the most noble cause of all the Necrons, because he is currently traveling the galaxy with his Pyrrhen Eternals, his personal immortals.

1750
02:07:55,000 --> 02:08:01,000
He's going around waking up all the Necrons that he can, and he's trying to unite the dynasties once again.

1751
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:08,000
He's from the Mephret dynasty, and his coolest thing is probably that he has some kind of strange power over machine spirits,

1752
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:13,000
where he can just put his hand out and take control of a vehicle, and shoot with his guns.

1753
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:17,000
On the tabletop, they kind of like, they kind of like, cuck to the ability, which is too bad.

1754
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:23,000
It used to be that he could shoot with vehicles weapons, but now it's just the vehicle can't shoot, or it has minus one to hit. But whatever.

1755
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:28,000
He's a fun character, and he's very unique. He kind of just goes off on his own, and does his own thing.

1756
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:33,000
We talked about Trazen, the Collector, and Orkin, the Astromancer. Yeah.

1757
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:42,000
And then the other on that topic, they have Cryptex, who are the kind of techno-sorcerer, mathematician wizards of the Necrons,

1758
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:47,000
who are impossible to comprehend. They're kind of like the physicians of the Necrons.

1759
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:52,000
They treat all the crazy symptoms of madness that they have, and try to fix them the best they can.

1760
02:08:52,000 --> 02:09:00,000
In the Twisted King book, the guy gives Ultics this weird technology that lets him live his memories.

1761
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:05,000
Once he's lived them, they're gone forever, so he has to try to hold on to what he remembers of that memory.

1762
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:12,000
And other crazy stuff like that, they can control time, like Orkin. They can... there's Plasmacy, there's Technomancy, there's Psychomancy.

1763
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:17,000
There's a whole bunch of different things. They're kind of independent dudes who wander around the galaxy doing their own thing.

1764
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:22,000
They're pretty cool. They also take care of tomb worlds, and keep their upkeep.

1765
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:30,000
They are linked to every single organism, every single Cnoptic thing, and every single machine on the tomb world.

1766
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:37,000
They can control all of it. So they're very important, and lords will generally suffer their goofiness to...

1767
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:39,000
because they're just too important to keep around.

1768
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:41,000
Suffer their goofiness.

1769
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:50,000
Yeah, well they're all very eccentric and weird, as a techno-sorcerer wizard would be, unsurprisingly.

1770
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:55,000
I'll briefly, very quickly go through the units, because I know it's like two hours in.

1771
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:58,000
Lowest on the tree are the Warriors.

1772
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:04,000
And some think that their wits were stripped from them so that they could be more easily controlled.

1773
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:08,000
Others just think it was a byproduct of biotransference, because they were peasants, they were farmers.

1774
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Before, they had no war experiences, as I said.

1775
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Their consciousness does lay far beyond and beneath the surface, only enough to be in constant misery,

1776
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:21,000
but not enough to realize that they're in constant misery.

1777
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:23,000
Tough stuff.

1778
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:28,000
The Immortals are a bit of a step up. They're tougher, they have better necrodermis.

1779
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:32,000
They're semi-sentient shock troops, who kind of have glimmers of consciousness.

1780
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:37,000
They spark up every once in a while, like the thrill of the kill, or a Warriors' pride type of thing.

1781
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:41,000
And then Lich Guard are the bodyguards. They're fully sentient, for the most part.

1782
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:48,000
They have eternal loyalty, because as command protocols go, they cannot be non-loyal anymore.

1783
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:50,000
Which is pretty neat.

1784
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:54,000
See, Death Marks, they're really cool. They're sentient hyperspace hunters.

1785
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:58,000
They're part of the old assassin guilds. Geez, sorry.

1786
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:03,000
And they can also go into their own little pocket dimension, where they can wait for as long as they want

1787
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:06,000
to appear and snipe an enemy, and then leave again.

1788
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:11,000
A lot of Lords don't use them though, because they go against the old codes of honor.

1789
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:15,000
So, I guess half and half, because a lot of Lords are not so honorable anymore.

1790
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:20,000
The Treyarch Praetorians I talked about earlier, they're the executioners and lawbringers, who are lots of fun.

1791
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:24,000
And probably the most iconic Necron unit is the Monolith.

1792
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:31,000
You awaken the Monolith, and you win your Dawn of War game, because it's OP.

1793
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:36,000
But it takes three years, because I've hidden 50 bone stickers.

1794
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:38,000
Spicy architecture!

1795
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:44,000
Truly. The Monolith has a giant particle whip that comes out of this big old crystal on top.

1796
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:52,000
And I'm trying to remember how particle, how it works, but it basically appears in the air.

1797
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:57,000
It's just like this incredibly destructive beam of energy that...

1798
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:02,000
It kills people real good.

1799
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:05,000
It also has a wormhole in it, which is pretty fun.

1800
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:10,000
On the tabletop it's surprisingly good in close combat, because it just sucks people into the wormhole.

1801
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:17,000
Which goes back to the Tomb World, which is how legions of Necrons can be transported through this portal.

1802
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:23,000
Or enemies can be transported back, then to be beat up by all the Necron warriors on the other side, waiting for them.

1803
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:28,000
There's Doomsides and Nightsides that go almost like light speed.

1804
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:35,000
They're not light speed, but they're faster than every other plane ship in the galaxy, other than probably Eldar stuff.

1805
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:41,000
Doomsday Arcs are probably my favorite vehicle, besides the Monolith, they're also cool.

1806
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:48,000
They have these apocalypse guns rigged up to them that fire battle-ending shots.

1807
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:53,000
So you can win battles in single shots, they just have to be perfectly placed.

1808
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:56,000
I think we've talked about enough.

1809
02:12:56,000 --> 02:13:00,000
We've talked about destroyers, there's lots of different types of destroyers.

1810
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:08,000
There's Ophidians now, which are a mix of destroyer and flayer diseased units, which are neat.

1811
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:11,000
There's not really any lore on them, it just says that they exist.

1812
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:16,000
But yeah, I'd say that's enough Necrons for today.

1813
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:20,000
That is the Necrons. Wow, that's quite extensive, isn't it?

1814
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:22,000
Necrons!

1815
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:23,000
That's cool.

1816
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:30,000
Any closing thoughts, brothers?

1817
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:40,000
Well, not so much a thought, but I think we can all acknowledge that I'm pretty Imperium heavy on my channel.

1818
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:47,000
So I will be soon delving into Necron lore a bit more, because again, I don't know all that much apart from the basics.

1819
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:54,000
So this was a good primer for me, and I hope for a lot of other viewers today who maybe aren't that familiar with the Necrons,

1820
02:13:54,000 --> 02:14:03,000
but will now have plenty of avenues to go, oh, that sounds really interesting, and then work on learning about particular characters.

1821
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:09,000
Because it seems like there's only been, like, the last few years a groundswell of Necron lore,

1822
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:15,000
whereas for a long time, it's just been, oh, just all spooky skeletons, and now they've got personality.

1823
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:19,000
And you've had books like The Infinite and The Divine and the Silent King books.

1824
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:28,000
It seems like recently they've been doing a good job of, like, slowly making them a bit more interesting in terms of characterization.

1825
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:34,000
Any thoughts, Colin, as well?

1826
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:46,000
I mean, a lot of what he said was a little bit of a repeat of what Andy said, but I find them definitely one of the more interesting factions in 40k,

1827
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:51,000
both partially some bias creeping over from fantasy and that they're tomb kings in space.

1828
02:14:51,000 --> 02:15:06,000
But I like very much that they...not that they don't care about the other races of the galaxy, but how completely and utterly indifferent they are.

1829
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Like Abaddon, you know, he can make a big show of whatever his latest plan is, and the Imperium's gonna react with terror and hurried preparations.

1830
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:19,000
And then the Necrons are gonna be like, oh, well, this, I guess, we'll just deal with this, I guess.

1831
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:23,000
Yeah, we forgot to talk about that. The Necrons almost closed the Eye of Terror, I think.

1832
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:28,000
They did. During the fall of Cadia, they nearly shut the thing down.

1833
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:31,000
Isn't there like a...what is it?

1834
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:33,000
Outflee Gothic.

1835
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:34,000
Yeah.

1836
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:38,000
And like an ending where they just like, if they won, they just close the rift and they move on.

1837
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:40,000
They're like, done.

1838
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:46,000
It also happens like instantly. Like they turn on a machine, five seconds go by, and more Eye of Terror.

1839
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:49,000
And then they're like, and finished? That's off the list.

1840
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:52,000
Oh wow, I forgot to talk about the Necron Death Star.

1841
02:15:52,000 --> 02:15:58,000
They made a Death Star called the World Engine that was literally just like exterminating planets left and right.

1842
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:02,000
And so the astronauts in the last chapter had to sacrifice themselves to blow it up.

1843
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:04,000
Very cool.

1844
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:10,000
Just a brief mention on Necrons also interacting with Blackstone, which I think the Eldar do as well.

1845
02:16:10,000 --> 02:16:18,000
It's somewhat a polarizing material that can either be used to amplify or nullify psychic powers.

1846
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:27,000
Necron's possibly made loads of artifacts with it throughout the galaxy, like the pylons, which could supposedly close up access from the warp.

1847
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:31,000
So there's some cool shenanigans there.

1848
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:41,000
Yeah, also the Trazin just like essentially helping to basically close, activate the pylons on Cadia that were buried under the ground,

1849
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:46,000
and then almost succeeded in helping close the Eye of Terror.

1850
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:52,000
But then Abaddon threw an entire ship at the planet.

1851
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:57,000
He took the gigantic Beyblade at Cadia.

1852
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:00,000
Anything else, boys?

1853
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:12,000
Don't forget how Trazin released, also in Battlefield Gothic, a tyrannid swarm of a quite humorous extent onto the phalanx and ruined it.

1854
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:15,000
It's a bit of a prank.

1855
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:21,000
With that being said, though, thank you guys so much for listening and watching.

1856
02:17:21,000 --> 02:17:35,000
I want to see some big old comments on this one, because I think Eli deserves a lot of praise, doing so much research on this topic, because he cares a lot about Necron's, and he's done a fantastic job, I think.

1857
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:38,000
So show some love for Eli here.

1858
02:17:38,000 --> 02:17:45,000
But with that being said, though, we do, you know, we appreciate the love and support and also that you watched.

1859
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:47,000
If you made it this far, thank you so much.

1860
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:59,000
And next time we actually will, there will be some talk of Necron's next time, because they make an appearance in the next subject for the podcast.

1861
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:04,000
We'll be doing one on Mephiston, Lord of Death.

1862
02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:13,000
There'll be some, there's a Necron book, or one of his books is Necron Focus, so it'll be nice to have that.

1863
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:19,000
Necron has some good things to say about the Elder in it. I know the dialogue, I know what he says.

1864
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:30,000
Yes. So there'll be, we'll be doing, you know, good old Blood Angels and perhaps the most OP space marine currently alive in the setting, but still cool.

1865
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:34,000
Not like, not cringe in a way, he's still really fun.

1866
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:40,000
And we hope you all enjoyed, and we'll catch you on the next one. Peace.

1867
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:43,000
Well, that's all about Knesset Kari, I suppose it's a disaster.

1868
02:18:43,000 --> 02:19:12,000
Thank you.

1869
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:22,000
Thank you.
