40 Facts and Lore about the Necron C'Tan Warhammer 40K

[@FieldmarshalDJKhaled]

Love how everything they say in these lore videos, are just being read of the Warhammer 40k Wikia

[@ZASurvivalist]

arman mintes And? The data source comes from somewhere no matter what. A codex, a website.. as long as its factual info who cares? Shut up and enjoy the free content, nerd.

[@awesomebro649]

arman mintes I noticed that too

[@moguldamongrel3054]

To bad they don't get paid like they used too.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

I don't know why but I have yet to look on the wiki page for Warhammer 40k. It's gotta be as big as Marvel Wikia since the lore here is practically as endless.

[@gimpytheimp]

You skipped over the Void Dragon. Of all the C'Tan, that one has the most lore surrounding it. It's believed to be imprisoned on Mars by the Emperor himself as legend tells of him fighting and trapping a dragon in a maze underground when he first went there. It's rumoured to be the Omnissiah the Adeptus Mechnanicus worship as their beliefs on how humans can transcend through becoming machines much like the Necrontyr did with their encounter with the C'Tan. It was also the most powerful, having dominion over all machinery which also explains why the Adeptus can actually fix machinery through channeling some sort of power by praying. There was also the time the Necron became the only race to breach the defenses of Sol system to do something on Mars with only one of the ships delivering it cargo onto the planet before being destroyed with the site being quarantined. The only reason why it lost to the Emperor at all was it badly wounded Blackstone Fortress which also leaves it open to the possibility it survived the rebellion of the C'Tan and remains whole. So if it ever gained its full strength, it would be devastating to everyone in the galaxy as the Necron are far too weak at this point to deal with it.

[@the_dropbear4392]

gimpytheimp The books pretty much confirm that it is a C'tan, even though it's sleeps it asks if the others had eaten all the stars (we know C'tan feed of stars) Its referred to as the dragon of Mars and makes technology in the region go haywire, void dragon was known for being able to control technology

[@DeathBYDesign666]

​@@the_dropbear4392And wouldn't those be some incredibly odd coincidences if that wasn't the case? It's more than just coincidence, it is intentionally implicated. I find it weird how much people refer to the lore from it's in universe perspective honestly. If the emperor himself was unable to kill this beast it has to be something beyond a chaos god or close to it.

[@the_dropbear4392]

@@DeathBYDesign666 Becuase its refered to as one in multiple books, hell the necrons even send a small attack force to mars to try recover it. In gods of mars we are directly told it is one by someone who is using another to power a machine thats a galactic terraforming device, and the eldar looking into the future sees that its on mars aswell. Nothing stated he can't kill it, just that he didn't. And given the last time a C'tan was destroyed it scared the ever loving shit out of the silent king with the damage it caused to reality that they decided to just shard the rest, killing one is a bad idea.

[@kaelanschmidt2980]

I would love to see 40 facts on the steel confessors. I think they are a pretty hype chapter.

[@maxhaly1612]

I don't think the Outsider created the Tyranids, but I think that perhaps the outsider devoured all the stars in the Tyranid's home galaxy, causing most of the life to die there. With nothing to feed on, the Tyranids came here instead.

[@Adamwofford]

that would explain how Arch Warhammer was speculating how tyranids are able to carry out tactics and strategies, if the outsider is controlling them, that would a lot of questions

[@Bonekraka]

an amazing thought tyranids and outsider ...motive valid and insane love it

[@angelocasanovic1203]

Man the artwork you use is great!

[@chengr1319]

do 40 facts about dreadnoughts and their variants too.

[@xXblacknyelowXx]

i second this notion

[@maverickandrews22]

YES PLEASE!!

[@brotheralaric7177]

you forgot one C'tan, the dragon of mars, known as mechanicus god, i know it's probably just a fan theory but i think he deserve to be mentioned to. anyway you did a good job, i didn't even know the outsider, just the nightbringer and the deceiver.

[@Kuro788]

Unfortunately it was only teased once , maybe twice, in a couple of codices (One of the Dawn of War expansions also teased it). Not enough to go by... but it's always fun to make a big fan-made theory out of it.

[@brotheralaric7177]

Khorneflakes maybe one day Gw will do something about that ^^.

[@spawnof200]

probably not though

[@watcherzero5256]

Its not just teased, its pretty explicit in the Horus Heresy novel Mechanicum.

[@Xx_Schizo08_xX]

Brother Alaric no it's not a fan theory

[@nateordie]

Anyone remember Chris Kattan, from SNL and movies like Night at the Roxbury? Do you think that fits into the lore at all?

[@andrewpost9335]

Request: Chaos vs Tyranids what does this look like. Plz a drunk request!

[@brotheralaric7177]

chaos tyranid ?? that exist, if a tyt spaceship reside too long in the warp they can be posessed by demon, and the result is very very ugly.

[@wessbrown5162]

Brother Alaric tyranids don't use warp travel. It's very rare for them to be possessed

[@brotheralaric7177]

Linda Salgado yup but they can be, i remeber of one scenario of battle, where the tyt has been transformed by tzeentch the result was horrifying .

[@Kuro788]

Well in addition, in a swarm/fleet, the hivemind's shadow in the warp is a great EMP barrier in regards to things related to the warp. Of course nids getting isolated or getting pulled in the warp (effectively isolating them) does make it possible for possession.

[@emila6]

it was within the warp that the silent king first witnessed what the tyranids are and capable of

[@Naradra128]

Would like to see a 40 fact about the space marine Dreadnought

[@trazyntheinfinite1961]

question if you ever get close to a c'tan i mean several of them what does that make you a form of food?

[@BlankEmporium]

10:04 nice to see my boi Agreus from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. It's always a pleasure.

[@brandonaughtman9091]

QUESTION: How about a 40 Facts about One Mind Syndicate! You guys are awesome. PS~ Yay!!! You took my suggestion from that For The Greater WAAGHH!!! :D Please let Yggra’nya, the Worldmaker be the next C'tan in Dawn of War III.

[@laabitres]

By banishing foes to an alternate dimension they'd be doing them a favor LOL

[@darthlazurus4382]

GW on the C'Tan They were just too awesome so we had to nerf them by changing them from Godlike beings into weapons for the Necrons.

[@xisigma]

12:18 who are the combatants? hive tyrant and ctan shard?

[@WhatTheBoot]

Suggestion: GOD EMPEROR'S RETURN

[@dancable3372]

And you forgot about the void dragon...there is supposed too be a shard of the void dragon imprisoned on Mars by the emperor himself

[@2000melkor]

what is the relación between the chaos gods and ctan?

[@sunnygunni3959]

it would be cool to see a 40 fact about inquisitor ravenor

[@tomgraveling8123]

love your films guys. idea for ones in future. what I love about 40k is the scale. something about the size of imperial guard deployment how they do it and its objectives compared to the speed of space marine deployments. how do these work together? also for other factions like tau. or eldar

[@schneideralexander54]

Suggestion: I believe you forgot to mention one of the C'Tan, The Void Dragon, I would like to see a video on that one, I've read that he has a connection behind the Adeptus Mechanicus, and that he may be the Machine Spirit

[@SergioBesana]

Who is the artist of the picture shown at 2:55 ?

[@darkage5]

Can you do a video on the silent King?

[@OneMindSyndicate]

thee is a lot of info on him if you watch the necron lore playlist.

[@nunyabuizness2953]

Question! Since daemons are energy beings like the c'tan can they possess necrodermis bodies like c'tan?

[@brandonaughtman9091]

I believe that the insanity of The Outsider might scare SOME of the Tyrainds towards our galaxy, but being their master, I don't believe it. Then there is Iash'uddra, The Endless Swarm to consider, but I don't wish to think that one race might be another. As for Yggra’nya, the Worldmaker, he escaped and is still out there, choosing to leave...or so we think. Then there is Nyadra'zatha, The Burning One...which I know nothing of.

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Yeah i would mind if the tyranids are running away from the outsider.

[@brandonaughtman9091]

OneMindSyndicate From one that is THAT Insane and powerful? Oh yeah, big time.

[@duncannslade]

Beware their comedic herald, Chris C'Tan.

[@thegrandcrusader4365]

topic/question suggestion what if the emperors soul has been shattered like the ctan shards and we see his manifestations as merely champions and they and us do not even know it

[@OneMindSyndicate]

but who would be on the golden throne, and what mechanism shattered the emperor into shards?

[@adrikubel]

Lets see a video on the Emperor in "ancient' history including his battle with the C'Tan Fragment

[@karimhamdi3693]

great video thank u guys

[@leopoldjenkins]

That was excellent! Love that that Outsider got a goodly chunk too

[@nuclearTANK]

can you do one about the void dragon

[@ProjectRevoltNow]

Does anyone else think of the "fart cloud" energy being/Trekkie from Futurama in the Star Trek episode when they think about the C'tan? They're basically the same thing without their fleshmetal bodies if you think about it lol.

[@OneMindSyndicate]

I didn't before but no i do

[@Kuro788]

Well it's possible that the Outsider is currently marathoning every Star Trek episode back to back. And maybe that's why he has yet to make his appearance in the Warhammer galaxy.

[@mackt.knight6688]

Do a video on gorka morka

[@thehillz726]

I think he drew in and agitated the tyranids more than just controlling them.

[@raymondcarlow9360]

If you haven't already could you do a vid on space marine DREADNAUGHTS, their origin and biology. I heard that it contained half dead space marines ir something.

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Yes we can

[@eddysplosion]

plot twist. ctan will give where the Tyranids came from and feed on their bio mass for eternity. ending the Tyranids and necrons

[@tysongardner2821]

great video guys 👍

[@benjaminloeal8611]

Suggestion: necrons

[@allmight2611]

Lore on OMS sounds like a good vid

[@darrenhopgood9348]

I would like to see 40 facts about the soul drinkers... :D

[@danieljackdavis7485]

All all C'Tan truly and entirely malevolent or is there another possible way of viewing them?

[@DaglasVegas]

Isn't the Machine God also C"Tan?

[@LanceTheAutobot]

HERETIC ! the machine god and the Emperor are one and the same PRAISE THE OMNISAIA ! (me: sorry one of my techpriests hackt my computer )

[@the_dropbear4392]

Gad Yariv The void dragon is on Mars and down worship it as the dragon of Mars, which they think is the machine god

[@jestergodfield690]

cant wait for that new warhammer game! ("death wing" i think its called) nice video btw, the c'tan are a fairly obscure species! I wonder if they'll ever make a return.

[@zenoblues7787]

Oh they will though they may be fragmented soon they will escape to recreate themselves and give a new meaning to terror in this galaxy

[@Kuro788]

Also there is always the Outsider and possible Deceiver to make an appearance. And yeah I can't wait for Deathwing the game either... a new 15min gameplay vid was just release... and I still need to see it.

[@Laurence0227]

oldest being in universe and eldar call them "young guy"?

[@left4luka2]

"Catalyzmic" XD

[@pentheus_1644]

Well, to be fair, there is so many people working on the lore of wh40k that, in the end there will always be some contradictions. But the Outsider controlling and/or creating the tyranids, why not! Or maybe not, who knows. Now, another theory for you: the eldar gods are c'tan's shardes that accept to be change and being at the service of the eldar for protection and a place in the warp. The interessing part of this theory is that's explained part of the story about the eldar's gods during the war in heaven (like khaine/nightbringer killing eldar and fighting the yngirs/c'tans and others eldar's gods , Cegorag/deciever triking the yngirs to fight each other).

[@carolheward6479]

Im not a fan of the theory that the outsider made the tyranids but tyranids dont consume stars which is interesting as ctaan live in stars

[@dogishappy0]

40k dreadnoughts please. i know what they are, but dont know any notable actions performed by dreadnoughts, or their armaments.

[@leadersupreme4435]

Yeah great job

[@austinkubler5840]

Can you do 40 facts of the Blood Pacts???

[@OneMindSyndicate]

yes we can

[@Dragonpunch-hk3ei]

Void dragon lore pls

[@sticklord2829]

40 facts of conscipts please!

[@ryanolive3962]

Do canoptek wraiths plz

[@DannyHeywood]

I heard speculation that the old ones created the Tyranids but that made no sense to me because they have no interest in eating metal Necrons, so your theory is more plausible.

[@jackwalters3928]

So are these things greater than the chaos gods? What's the difference?

[@watcherzero5256]

Greater in their physical presence in the material universe and lesser in their power and influence. The Chaos Gods like the Eldar gods are actual gods created by the unconscious thought of the lesser races pouring in to the immaterium (Warp) where thought becomes reality. They are able to influence minds across the whole galaxy, reshape the warp in to their own personal kingdoms, create and command infinite legions of demons, mutate their followers and grant them increased magical power or knowledge, but they cant physically leave the warp as they lack physical form and there is no vessel large and strong enough to contain them. The C'Tan are extremely powerful and extremely ancient energy vampires who fed on stars and were larger than planets but couldn't physically interact with the universe. They were then put in to physical bodies (slightly larger than a human) which gave them the ability to physically interact with the universe but considerably lessened their power making them essentially mortal, tied to one place. In power now they are in physical form you could probably compare them to a Greek God.

[@jackwalters3928]

Watcher Zero If a C'tan (both in and out of their physical body) traveled to the warp and faced the chaos gods, what would their chances be?

[@watcherzero5256]

Outside the body probably a stalemate, neither could kill the other. Inside the body probably the Chaos god would win as an idea of collective unconciousness personified is pretty much unkillable through physical assault whereas the Ctan has taken on a physical form.

[@jackwalters3928]

Watcher Zero So basically it would be a draw either way, since that as soon as the C'tan would die it would go back into its' former self as far as I know.

[@watcherzero5256]

We don't know. The fact that they remained tied to the shards after their bodies were broken up by the Necron suggests they are now physically bound even if elaborate methods are utilised to stop them rebelling or escaping.

[@MagicEye117]

40 facts about a Inquisitor.

[@OneMindSyndicate]

we already have a couple video on the channel about them. Check those out while you wait for the next parts

[@a-deejay9971]

Why don't the chaos gods fight each other personally instead of getting their subjects to fight?

[@ZackFairGames]

How about 40 facts about Flayed Ones? They seem to be pretty cool You know, like, wearing their victims' flesh is almost as cool as Blood Angels

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Yes ..... cool is a word i would use to describe wearing the flesh of your victims. We can make a video on them

[@Sujad]

After watching this, a thought struck me. Is the Emperor a C'Tan? Think about it, in the lore, the Emperor was said to be conglomeration of ancient human shamans. What if those shamans were C'Tan fragments as described in this video who purposefully forgot their past to potentially elude the Necrons. Perhaps the Golden Throne is based on Necron technology but made with the limitations of human resources of the time.

[@jrr7031]

Is this new lore? Last i heard/read... the necrons were servants of the C'tan not their masters.

[@devintodd4341]

What would happen if two Tyranid hive fleets crossed paths?

[@wessbrown5162]

Will livesay they fight to the death.

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Yes Linda is correct. It like two animals encountering each other in the wild. If there is food that they want they will fight each other

[@the_dropbear4392]

OneMindSyndicate Not always, there was a big battle at one point to prevent one hive fleet from reinforcing another

[@wessbrown5162]

Who they're enslave star gods. Who would win in a fight a Ctan or a chaos God?

[@Kuro788]

Maybe C'tan... since they can influence the very fabric of the material universe versus the Chaos gods who can only indirectly influence it. Although it is difficult to say how much influence the chaos gods actually have in the material universe... like pulling worlds into the warp. Suffice to say a fight between these two groups of cosmic horrors, would be an indirect confrontation. After all they'd be fighting over their favorite nourishment, souls. And in that sense the Chaos gods may have an edge there. Chaotic corruption can be spread and be accepted by the mortal beings versus the C'tan that have to take it by force. You have to keep in mind they do have bodies so they can't be every at once (although with their technical know-how, the C'tan can probably teleport very easily across the galaxy, with a mere snap of a finger).

[@the_dropbear4392]

Khorneflakes The warp is incomprehensible for the C'tan, it is their weaknesses they have no control over it. C'tan and chaos gods physical can't fight, one can't exist in the warp, the other can't exist in the material universe

[@SpazzyMcGee1337]

No life lives around those large stars.

[@Kuro788]

Technically... although you have to keep in mind the very nature of the warp. So even though in the material universe they have a beginning. In the warp, time is immaterial, so you can argue in a weird way that they've always existed. Lotta time shenanigans when dealing with the warp...

[@pyrosauria7444]

The C'tan controlling the tyranids doesn't make any sense considering that (though rumored) the Old ones made the Tyranids.

[@SWIFTO_SCYTHE]

Pyroskies i dont like the idea of a one track hungry hive mind being controlled. but i do fancy the idea the outsider either created the nids or killed all their food and they are forced to come to this galaxy.

[@a.mostert800]

Well just because the Old Ones made them doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't currently being controlled by the Outsider.

[@darthlazurus4382]

A. Mostert I feel it works. Created by the Old Ones, but stolen by the the Outsider.

[@jasminross7097]

[@OneMindSyndicate]

It depends on how you found our video. If you searched for 40k, or 40k lore then youtube creates a stronger link from that key world to our video so if others search for 40k lore our videos will display. If you were a subscriber or you clicked on this video through a suggested link then youtube will suggest more of our videos that share common tags with this video that you liked. So we don't have to insert adds for our videos as much because youtube will suggest them for us. Same goes for all 40k content. If you like 40k videos youtube will suggest 40k videos from our channel, vaults of terra, miniwargaming and so on. By you liking our videos the chances of youtube showing you more of our work increases.
