despite the praise from Guilliman calling Dante his "brother", (even though Dante was on the verge of death at this point), a one and one fight with the Silent King would be the end of Dante. for all terms and purposes, the Silent King is a necron god. dude has been wandering for forever and a day. that's countless experience and knowledge. combine that with necron tech, his mastery over living metal, phase shifting, and even time itself, there is no way Dante can raise a finger to that, or maybe just one, him flipping him the bird as he dies, but that's about all he can do XD

He would 100% beat the brakes off of Dante and Guilliman in a 1v1, hell probably even a 2v1. Silent King is up there in a similar tier to the Emperor before he was enthroned. This is likely the reason the whole "Guilliman Vs Silent King" thing that people were expecting didn't play out, at least as far as I recall. Cause unless GW renamed the Armour of Fate to the Armour of Plot, Guilliman was getting put in yet another box.

[@imperialguardsmen7205]

The Blood Angels have always been one of my favorite space marine legions simply because of how awesome Sanguinious is as a primarch/character. Leman Russ doubts he could beat him one on one. Horus Lupercal thought that He should have been warmaster. Roboute guilliman and lionel johnson both chose him to be emperor regent of Imperium secondus. And now even the Silent king of the necrons acknowledges and respects Sanguinious as a worthy ally. I hope one day Black library will bring him back in some shape or form to fight beside his legion again. That would be Glorious!

[@tyler1tanner]

Sadly, he will never be brought back, and for good reason. Sanguinius is hands down just the best primarch, he is the epitome of everything good about humanity, he is a symbol of everything the imperium is and stands for, and he embodies what it means to be human.

The idea of an alliance is interesting. At best I assume the Necrons would see humans as lesser and as possible vassals (given recognition but a lower status). One of the things that helps 40k seem so grimdark (but with moments of hope) is the speciesism. Each group wants to wipe out the others except for a couple that also want to wreck everything-those being chaos (corrupt everything and stagnate it worse if possible) and the nids (eat everything). In Total War:Warhammer Fantasy there is a time when the "civilized" groups can make a truce or alliance to fend of a chaos invasion. There are hints of that in 40k Eldar and humans working together against chaos is not unheard of nor everyone against the nids. But those are temporary alliances that are short term when the threat is longterm (nids and chaos will be in 40k long after one particular battle or conflict for 1 planet is won or lost). Since they can talk with each other there is nothing physically preventing humans, Necrons, and Eldar from literally living alongside each other in a big city planet except that in 40k they wouldn't agree who should be in charge (possibly on who should be alive) and thus start shooting each other. I think this is more possible to even think now because in earlier editions of 40k Necrons were almost like metal nids in that they wanted to wipe out all the 40k life they came across as well. Now they talk to humans-making them seem more civilized than in earlier editions. Perhaps 40k is the opposite of Star Trek and provides an example of how badly things can go wrong when groups of intelligent species cannot figure out a long term arrangement with each other. PS .

[@sukhoisu-24fencer3]

I have a necron overlord sitting on my shelf. I saw this and I looked directly at him, an enormous change is happening in Warhammer.

[@ThatSlowTypingGuy]

"Yeah that's right they've gone in a Rhino wif just free of them." I guess Dante wanted to live free or die hard.

Wolf Lord Rho always telling the fans to read material for fun and lore. Massive respect man.

[@huejakok5978]

i hope in the future we can have a true necron biotransference model. Theres other necron stories that talk about when they wake up they all look similar and spooky skelly like, but remember going into the the deep sleep look pretty much like they did before the bio transference (just more metal looking). So since the silent king went into exile instead of sleep his body didnt get all skeletonfied in stasis. glad they are keeping that in the lore, i thhought that concept was tossed out when we got Newcrons.

[@NotUnymous]

"it seem they holg Sangunius in very high regard" - perhaps that is exactly what they wanted... So that he can minimize the time loss to frie himself some tyranid-burgers

[@LordBloodraven]

Necron glyphs scrolling look a lot like the code for the Matrix... I guess the A.I. got their upgrades from the Void Dragon.

Incredible story telling man!

[@14Flamefish]

Can we get more Necron stories, please? There's too many people that still think the Necrons are little more than Terminator rip-offs with the emotional and thinking capacity of a microwave.

[@christiandauz3742]

Severed, the Infinite and the Divine. Two of my recomendations

[@chrisbennett6236]

I wonder if GW or BL will ever explain what the Silent King's fascination with Sanguinius, why he respects him so highly.

[@Haloister]

The fabulous Hawk boi, nuff said.

[@themetroidprime]

I feel like Sanguinius was what the Necrontier originally wanted to be. Powerfull, angelic and immortal. Free from the radioactive curse of their homeworld. The King would like himself, and his race, to be like Sanguinius.

[@Sigmar_Heldenhammer]

TheMetroidPrime makes perfect sense to me.

[@themetroidprime]

Also, Sanguinius was kind, just and fair. He would have acted with mercy towards the Necrontier would they have begged him to free them from their cursed, weak and very mortal bodies, when the Old Ones told them to fuck off ald die. Sanguinius was the ideal being, even better than the Emperor if it weren't for the later's godly powers. The figure you turn to during the darkest hour and that you know you can trust to do the right thing no matter what. In the 40th millenium, his soul still pops up as the Sanguinor to stand in the face of overwhelming evil. I guess that's what the Silent King could have been, had he made the right call instead of forfeiting his kind to the C'tan.

[@miafillene4396]

Every one loves Sanguinous. EVERYONE.

Im relatively new to 40k. Hell i didnt even know it was a game. I just really got into this lore. Watched 2 and i got to say...i prefer to hear all of this from you. I like the commentary that is interspersed within.

[@mignonthon]

I didnt what you do, better sound i think , but its much more a pleasure to listen to your story. :)

[@blightcraftgamma]

I miss the older, more mysterious and eldritch horrors the Necrons used to be before they got turned into the tomb kings in space.

[@AAhmou]

General Coma I kinda miss that part too about C'tan lore, hopefully it is brought up to some extent later on.

[@christiandauz3742]

Severed & the Infinite and the Diviner revolve around the horror aspect of the Necrons There are Necrons that scare other Necrons. Think about that

[@blightcraftgamma]

@@christiandauz3742 They are now very knowable and have relatable emotions and goals. They even fear. The eldritch mystery of an ancient unknown is gone with the rewrite.

[@christiandauz3742]

@@blightcraftgamma I think it depends on which Dynasties. Necrons under the control of the C'tan or the Flayer virus are like the old lore

Dante saying he would kill the Silent King is like Imotekh the Stormlord saying he would slay The Emperor (not the corpse emperor, THE EMPEROR).

[@thecappeningchannel515]

Gotta love the enthusiast little inserts the narrator does about the characters steel balls.

[@darthxader1112]

I think a part that is important is that when the blood angels see Szarekhs death mask they say that it is one of If not the best they have ever seen more beautiful then any sculptures had any right to be not made by human hands

What is the „Farrus Incident“ mentioned around 13:49?

[@sejannus877]

“Enter into alliance, of sorts” I’d say this is exactly an alliance.

Must be a rather daunting thing for a servant of the Imperium to be called before what is basically the Necron equivalent of the Emperor. Imagine being called directly before the Chaos Gods, or the Tyranid Hive-Mind... O.o

Well done Rho Lets get real though the Silent King is at least on like Primarch level. I really like Date but come on he needs some serious plot armor to defeat the Silent King.

[@tauronicodemus362]

Would it even matter if Dante destroyed the Silent King? Would the dude stay dead, or just use Necron wifi to hop into a new body?

[@thelardmaker6806]

@@tauronicodemus362 So long as there is a production facility like a pyramid nearby, then the SIlent King can just remake a new body.

I would put TSK on an Emperor level. Guy is 60+ million years old and been exploring the universe or holding back the tyranids this whole time. There is no way Dante is going to beat him at all.

I imagine the Silent King might of said “So you are King amongst these warriors? Remember that, always remember the cost your actions take.”

[@llow1170]

I believe Szarekh was smart enough to know that conflict would break out after the Hive Fleet was defeated. It's possible he also made the decision to not have Dante killed(in a one on one battle) at the moment. He likely could've believed that Dante still had some use as Chapter Master in the battles to come.

[@whatintheworld6413]

Theres one time blood angel primach keep a secret from the Emperor, which is blood angel vampiric power. Which make me wonder what other secret did sangunis keep from the emperor before he was slayed by Horus?
