Imotekh, Farsight, and Guilliman walk into a bar. Precisely when they planned on.

[@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63]

Has Imotekh faced any major Eldar or Guilliman? I feel like it will be interesting when he faces one of the setting's other best leaders. I know Helbrect is a beast but beating him and beating a primarch are two very different things.

[@joeyelmer8549]

@@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63 joke punchline edit for sillies: Precisely when Orikan calculated.

[@Mastercio]

@@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63 but his point is he is NOT great duelist. He beat Hellbrecht because he couldnt even hurt him. His Pharaon body regenerated faster than Hellbrecht powers sword(yes he regenerated wound deal by god damn power sword basically imidiately they were done to him) could hurt him... dude could just stand in place and would still win.

[@BurninSnowMan]

Im glad you included brenden fraser for his tactical prowess, he is often overlooked in the 40k setting.

[@KrakDuk]

He’s definitely a sleeper powerhouse

[@justinwoo4659]

[@mistadangerzone8362]

Fun fact: older 40k editions literally had a rule for imotekh where he would get disadvantages on his roles when fighting orks

[@spinksies2540]

Trazyn needs a whole video for everything he's stolen and put in his museum. My man literally has a custodes chilling in there and even had an entire tyranid splinter fleet in stasis for a while

[@HydratedBeans]

Trazyn the troll

[@mementomori771]

100% perfect clone of fulgrim

[@AliceBowie]

One of the BL audio dramas has the whole thing where Orikan releases one of Trazyn's tyranids, so Trazyn takes a Sister of Battle and a Daughter of the Emperor out of a stasis diorama to kill it. At some point, the DoE says something positive about Goge Vandire, and the SoB is like, "wtf did you just say?"

[@Skulleater6454]

If your in the discord you'll know he collects balls

[@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63]

He has a giant replica of the golden throne waiting for the centerpiece of his human gallery. You'll never guess what it is.

[@The_Calcium_King]

The Necrons are arguably the funniest faction for individual characters (Orks are the funniest faction in general) and are absolutely super cool.

[@def3ndr887]

Really? I thought the Skaven would be the funniest general faction with the amount of backstabbing they do

[@himi6238]

@@def3ndr887 Skaven are not part of 40K

[@def3ndr887]

@ they’re not?

[@The_Calcium_King]

@@def3ndr887 nope

[@josephbracero4652]

Arguably, humanity is the skaven of 40k. Just replace the fun suicidal insanity and mad science with oppressive suicidal zealotry and stagnation.

[@jaykoops9502]

May Trazyn take this video and put it in his collection of dopest Necron lore explained by a humble Guardsman!

[@tau-5794]

Imotekh doesn't actually lose to orks, he just can't use his strategic mastery against them and has to rely on brute strength (which considering he's the phaeron of probably the 3rd most powerful empires in the galaxy is a lot).

[@bcyeti9494]

THIS IS PERFECT, I JUST STARTED READING THE INFINITE AND THE DIVINE

[@KrakDuk]

It’s an excellent book!

[@enderfire3379]

I just got it, i am looking forward to reading it!

[@bcyeti9494]

@enderfire3379 im like 100 pages in and it's literally made me laugh so many times

[@def3ndr887]

Same here, I’m so glad I read the minor spoiler before this vid Also, imo I feel like Orikan still won the court case since Trazyn aimed to reclaim ownership of the Mysterios and unfortunately Orikan used the ambitions of the council to make it a public domain.

[@Zergking100]

Best gay romance ever

[@chucklytell]

Im a big fan of Nemesor Zahndrekh, I love that he's trolling everyone and even Obyron isnt 100% if he's being serious or not

[@AidenKim-q3b]

Also my man noticed an imperial assassin which is no small feet

[@vladgabrielmatei9128]

Severed is an outstanding book for these two

[@Xeonerable]

Chad tier Necron warning a month in advance that he's coming to slap some ass, and proceeds to slap some ass at said time.

[@Theology.101]

Trazyn and Orikan are my favorite old Married Couple in fiction. Trazyn even took Orikan to the Opera!

[@a_lethe_ion]

2:41 well thats a well known problem in strategy games like chess where a worse player or beginner can beat a higher ranked player because the beginner has a level of unpredictability and high risk actions that no professional would take -which can make them something that just upsets and confuses and thats a good state to put your enemy in

[@wvfrm-lffrm]

And sometimes they stumble upon a strategy that you know how to counter, but you werent prepared because you didnt expect them to do that

[@anotherfriendlyshikikan6960]

Noted. Know your opponent

[@Ado_enthusiast1999]

Necrons are like the cool cousins of the family that you are too nervous to talk to

[@PerogiXW]

The Silent King and The Emperor were both like "I need a bunch of elite gold guys"

[@EchoObserver9]

Also both made deals with OBVIOUSLY evil "gods" thinking they could outsmart them XD I mean what kinda of sane person with a non galactic size ego takes a look at Tzeentch or and The Deceiver (was named after but still) And think to themselves "Hmm yes I could swindle this guy!" Said ego is also how they became a huge problem for both those "gods" XD

[@samvimes9510]

Imagine going to a dinner party with Zahndrekh, Trazyn and Belisarius Cawl. One crazy guy, two gigantic nerds, all robot dudes who would probably just mash the food against their metal faces.

[@spacebees86]

I found a new name for my single necron model, thanks! Good Ol' Skeleton Frank

[@KrakDuk]

Skeleton Frank is a living undead legend

[@azpont7275]

@@KrakDuk Are Necrons undead in the classical fantasy understanding? I always had somewhat of a dilemma about that. I mean, technically they were never resurrected, they just transferred their minds into robot bodies and lost their souls (or maybe not?) in the process.

[@emmanuelcalla4899]

The designs you apply to your drawings is really good, your style allows the details of the mini to be portrayed with a fine detail and the coloring is great too. Im glad you share those with us Krak.

[@MyLolmom]

Something both funny and sad is that zandrekh possibly has parkinson's as the author of the books has outright stated he modeled zandrekh after his uncle and that his uncle had moments of clearity and would get frustrated when he forgets why he was doing something even though he knew moments ago. Zandrekh sometimes pokes fun at the idea that he's not actually insane while other times acts like he is insane but just humouring obyrn. so either zandrekh isn't insane or he is but has moments of clarity where he pretends and pokes fun at his insanity to keep obryon from worrying.

Imagine if Imotekh fought Michaelangelo from the TMNT and Billy from The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy, he wouldn't be able to understand their "tactics"

[@franciscol3510]

I have a group of Necron OCs from the same dynasty, they are all sibilings and they mostly hate each other. Nephara the Huntress, Anasekh the all-seeing, Ramsuth, and the leader of the dynasty Amunaptra the Gatekeeper. Amunaptra took over the dynasty after their mother died shortly before biotransference, Nephara and Ramsuth are twins and each one is an overlord, and Anasekh is the youngest child who became a Cryptek because he's a nerd. Whenever the younger ones get out of line Amunaptra tells them their mother would be dissapointed and they all start crying

[@jonathangibson9482]

Excellent video! Anrakyr was actually the first model I saw for 40k (or at least held my attention) years and years ago. I'd completely forgotten thst until you mentioned him

[@loner419]

I personally love the old man grudge dynamic Trayzn has with Orikan throughout their book together. It's basically two stubborn old men with godlike power refusing to leave each other alone while they both fuck around with the local populace of a planet over 30 million odd years. Great read.

[@ahhhyeah-we3yn]

The image of Imotehk and the Night Lord next to each other made me do a backflip since I have a necron army and a night lord themed chaos marine army
