That's the problem with GW and Black Library, they are beyond terrible at scale! Three examples. - A ecuminopolis hive world that covers just 28% of the surface of a planet the size of Terra (which is the surface area not covered by water) would have a population above 200 trillion. - the Imperium apparently controls the vast majority of the Galaxy, however it only has 1 million worlds, in a galaxy of 400 billion - 2 trillion stars, with approximately 1-100 are G type stars (same as ours) or 4 -20 billion star systems meaning the Imperium controls just 0.004% of the Galaxy. - the Emperor was born in the times of the Hitties, which was roughly 2500 BC to 1750 BC or 4500- 3700 years ago. But we have large scale ruins as old as old as 11,500-13,500 BC, Gobekli Tepi aka Girê Mirazan and Kaharan Tepi. Meaning the Emperor is 10,000 years younger than we know civilisations is.

[@Xogroroth666]

@@fightforaglobalfirstamendm5617 Yep. However, it IS a different Universe, who knows, their civilisations started way later. Still, there are SERIOUS errors in the lore. But what i do not get is how WHF and WH40K are not the same universe any longer!!! One would assume, as it is Warhammer, WHF would predate WH40K in the same universe? How darn stupid to call both WH, while not the same at all, in every aspect.

Given the vast technological disparity between the two forces, it is a Testament that the Imperial force did any damage at all to the Necrons. It's statistically similar to Old Ironsides fighting the U.S.S. Missouri.

[@animewarrior3]

Its not that bad, more so a complete difference of tech. Necron tech is playing by different rules iirc my lore correctly. Like orks, but there is a science to it. And if you have 100 ironsides vs 1 missouri, you'll likely win. Even if you lose 90

I never really got army numbers in 40k. We have hive worlds with hundreds of billions of inhabitants, but space marine chapters of just 1k warriors (barely ever fully deployed) and the big set up of troops described at the beginning with just 19M guardsman doesnt seems that big compared to wwii. I guess moving that many people in space ships would be quite a feat, but still.

[@KalashVodka175]

19 BILLIONS were mentioned. The million figure was for the Death Korps, not the total of troops. In total including not only IG but PDF and militias there were roughly 210 billions troops involved in this sector’s war

[@matthieuleon310]

I didn't read the novel, but baldy said 19m in the video. And yes 10 times as much militia which is not nothing, but 19 billion would make more sense​@@KalashVodka175

[@dracodarastrix4175]

I wouldn't call this even a phyric victory anymore. Considering all that was lost. From the necron perspective this was more like a raid. And they succeeded without much losses. If you read the back lore of this Necron Dynasty it's clearly stated they wanted to get rid of all the sentient life/ life in their domain. Considering they took down a hundred worlds in a hundred days. You start to see this battle is a succes for the Dynasty goals. The defenders have left the planet because the raid damaged it so much it no longer has any more value to them.
