I love how absolutely apocalyptic that battle was. Back when Necrons were written as being genuinely terrifying, and not as the latest bolter fodder for the Astartes.

1:07:00 This is the most memorable part of the Fall of Orpheus for me. The fact that Necrons would capture an imperial governor and bring him to dinner just to mess with him is hilarious.

[@christrefz3195]

Nice work bringing the campaign alive. The account was pretty chilling and gave the Necrons the feel of Lovecraftian Great Old Ones returning to end the world as we know it. The only problem with writing a foe that apocalyptic, is you inevitably have to either put them back to sleep just as quickly as you woke them, Cthulhu's fate, or you have to de-power them back down to just another enemy. Otherwise, the game would be over, LOL.

[@Arukan]

Sometimes I wish the Necron would just win. They get intel from a dude surviving and then kill him for surviving. The Imperium dooms itself and then blames everyone else. There are no good guys in 40k, but the Imperium is absolutely not part of the "smart" factions.

[@Arukan]

The Necron don't even register "cowardice" so all they did was kill a dude for surviving. GG Imperium, GG anyone stupid enough to defend this methodology- even with in-universe reasoning. An Inquisitor of any intellect would put to death whoever made that ruling- including calling another Inquisitor into question for such reckless wasting of life. Granularity is a waste.

[@hammond1994]

This is Imperial propaganda. The Necrons are too powerful for a squad of Astartes to decapitate them. What really happened is the Imperium got its butt kicked and wisely ran away.

[@thomasmacabee8361]

Yea and the sector was permitted off limits, hah. Also was the chapter master of the minotaurs killed, and then subsequently brought back due to the fact GW is incapable of killing off marine characters, or did he never die in the first place? Here it sounds like the latter, but I thought the former.
