[@demiurge9212]

Two years into a grueling siege against an Ork WAAAGH!, a platoon of Guardsman are stuck behind enemy lines, cut off from supplies and with smoke choking out the sunlight. As their power packs begin to fail and morale is running low, the quick thinking commander calls an emergency meeting. "Boys," he starts, face grim with righteous fury "this may be the end, but I still have one trick up my sleeve. You see, the Orks aren't that smart, so I want you to send your squad up the ridge with your empty lasguns and start shouting PEW PEW as loud as you can." The sergeant nods and heads off, returning at nightfall with a grin on his face. "The louder we shouted PEW PEW the more Orks fell over dead!" The next day, the whole platoon was standing on the front line screaming "PEW PEW BANG" and mimicking grenades and missiles as Orks died by the handful. There was much rejoicing at this and the slaughter continued on for the rest of the week. Until one day as the platoon was PEW PEWing the horde, a group of greenskins started marching down the hill in formation. No matter how loud the guardsman PEW PEW'd the Orks wouldn't budge an inch and continued to advanced until they got close enough to bludgeon the platoon to death. The last thing the commander heard before his death was the horde of greenskins chanting "We'z a tank, we'z a tank, we'z a tank!"

Some fun facts for people not as versed in Necrons (though I am no lore pro) One of the Necron Dynasties, the Oruscar, have something called the Celestial Orrery. It is a real time representation of the entire galaxy, and if you choose and 'snuff out' a star within the orrery, the one in the real world will just go supernova. WHICH IS FUCKING WILD. The Oruscar are aware of how dangerous this can be in terms of a domino effect, so they both choose VEEEEEERY carefully when they do things like that, and they also are ULTRA defensive about anyone who is not them using it. Also, their Gauss weaponry, this video mentions them briefly, but its godamn TERRIFYING. They are also known as "Gauss Flayers" not because they strip flesh and metal, they strip ATOMS AND MOLECULES FROM THEIR TARGETS. A single gauss flayer, given enough shots, could literally take down an Imperium Land Raider by itself. The Necrons also have crazy advanced technology. Their tech is so advanced that its basically magic ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", as we all know). They can control the weather, time, and reality. They have assassins called "Death Marks" which stalk their targets until the right moment, just appearing out of nowhere. They aren't invisible though, they stalk their targets from a pocket dimension. So once they kill their target they just pop back into the other dimension and waltz on home. Also, their Phaerons and Overlords have some of the wackiest personalities. One of them is basically a kleptomaniac, and another is like a grizzled cantankerous general who's programming fault has made him think every enemy he fights in the current day is Eldar. He's got a personal bodyguard who is constantly trying to keep him safe from the VERY MUCH NOT ELDAR enemies that he gets in a fight with because the dude literally doesn't know its not an Eldar.

13:05 - Some picture context: These are The Astral Knights Chapter (the crossed swords heraldry). This Space Marine Chapter was destroyed in battle with the Necron World Engine. The Astral Knights sacrificed their chapter to destroy this Necron weapon, which was a planet-sized spaceship, armed with gauss projectors capable of scouring planets of all life. The Astral Knights made their way to the deepest part of the World Engine that housed many command nodes. In a final act of heroism, Artor Amhrad (Chapter Master of the Astral Knights) detonated melta-charges that brought down the World Engine's shields and silenced most of its weaponry. The Astral Knights were gone. But their sacrifice was not in vain. Seeing the foe defenceless, the Imperial fleet destroyed the World Engine with volley after volley of cyclonic torpedoes.

There's also that bit about the Silent King severing the protocols that kept the Necrons in thrall to him, right before they went into stasis. Another gesture of atonement for failing his people.

I mean, it makes sense that at least one C'tan had to be somewhere near the Necrontyr's home, in order for them to have discovered it. Then, having learned that an energy vampire space ameba was wrapped around their sun and slowly siphoning its energy off, they would be like "we should find ANOTHER one and experiment on THAT, so that if it goes well we can get the one out of our sun, and if it goes badly we don't accidentally blow up our own sun."

I'll be honest here, it's genuinely amazing how the Necrons probably have the most colorful and amazing cast of characters related to them, despite them technically being 99% mindless automatons. I mean, there's the Silent King, cool dood... But then we get into the more eccentric guys. There's everyone's favorite AND objectively best character in the entire universe, Trazyn The Infinite. Kleptomaniac, collector, historian and smug bastard, all in one. Has an entire goddamn museum world that's filled to the brim with Omnissiah knows what sort of relics and treasures... or exhibits. And by exhibits I mean entire Astra Militarum regiments, Adeptus Astartes companies, Harlequin troupes and ork warbands, heck, even an entire live Adeptus Custode, alive and in permanent stasis. Dude even had an entire hive fleet at one point. There's also Nemesor Zahndrekh, who for some god knows what reason still thinks him and all of his subjects are still flesh and blood Necrontyr, and likes to throw dinner parties a lot... despite nobody at those parties eating anything. He also has a really badass bodyguard known as Vargard Obyron, who is actually aware of the fact they're all space robots, but chooses to just let his lord do whatever. This is to just name a few.

"Existentialism is possibly the most onerous imposition of life. The need to ask why, to find some explanation. Nevertheless, despite the perfections granted me, I remain a living man and so must suffer under the cacophony of questions in my brain. And so I send out this final message to attempt to answer some of the questions you will have. Why did I lead my fellows to their doom here on this arid plateau? Why have I submitted myself to the power of the immortal creatures who have risen from its sands? How could I, a respected scientist and prominent citizen, turn my back on the civilization that has given me so much? The answer is simple. I have done everything in the name of purity. Before my memories and emotions were reassembled in this more perfect form some fifteen cycles ago, I had spent a human lifetime studying civilization in all its forms. The sum of my work can be put thus: all life exists in discord. War and strife affect all known societies and all species spend their existences competing with others for limited resources. From the cries of an infant for the maternal teat to the wretched stench of the aged dying in their own filth, life is a series of squabbles and ugly messes. There is an alternative. There exists a state in which all conflict is resolved and all is cold and silent. There are no wants, no wars, no squabbles. You may call this state death if you wish, but that is a misnomer. Death is but the ending of life, and that is only a means to an end. That end is purity, the time when all is still and unchanging. Our universe began in purity and it will return to that blessed state. Hastening that return is the great work of the perfected beings I have awoken and who have made me their own. You have tried to undo our great work. You have spread your vile, unclean selves across the galaxy, making a mockery of the beautiful silence we had wrought. It was all in vain. Rejoice, for we have returned and your days are at an end." -- Tomas Macabee

[@grayfiresoul]

A major conflicting fact regarding the War in Heaven's success for the Necrontyr is their level of technology. I'm not sure if this changed somewhere along the line, but it was *despite* the Necrontyr's superior technology that they were losing. The Necrons have had a certain mastery of the sciences that the other races have never truly reached, if the older lore is to be believed. Even though the Old Ones' technology wasn't as sophisticated, they were still winning due to their mastery of the immaterium. Plus, add some continued Necron infighting during the war, who even then weren't able to get their shit together long enough to see their victory through.

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

Hm, I wonder if the original form of Tzeentch was in bed with the Old Ones, and the current Tzeentch is partly responsible for the fact that the Old Ones have never been rediscovered. I think I'm going to headcanon that the two missing Primarchs were both involved in an effort to discover this lost history, and that the reason they've disappeared is that Tzeentch corrupted one into his service, brainwashed the other into thinking he's an Old One, and has the two of them fighting each other eternally in a giant chess match within some hidden pocket of the Immaterium, just to see whether he did everything correctly and is truly the genius he thinks he is, or if he should time-travel back to his earlier form and give himself different advice to produce a more desirable outcome.

Honestly Chaos looks a lot more pleasant than that. For that matter I wouldn't want the Orks to get their victory either; it'd be funnier than the Tyranid version, but not much better otherwise.

The last of your 40k vids was a while ago before the current scp vs 40k one, so I don't know if you would make any more, but it would be fun to hear your take on renowned 40k funnyman, Trazyn, or Revered 40k Funnyman Orikan...or Zahndrekh, or... Well, the crons have lots of funny characters. Hopefully they get a bit more attention than they did in the vs vid haha

Lets not forget that a C'tan was the reason why their star was acting the way it was and the Eldar and the Korks (Ork ancestors) were created by the Old Ones to fight the Necrons.

To this day, 3rd edition Necron's fluff is the best fluff.

"Hey friend, we're impressed by your skills and longevity. Let's make a deal. What do they call you?" "I'm called the deceiver, my new tiny mea..... i mean tiny friends." "Ok then, that's fine by us, let's go ahead. So whatta you need from us?"

God dam Azir i knew he was a NECRON

[@flounder2760]

i dunno if a sentient multi million year old robot told me that their wars burned reality... id have something to feel about that.

[@goldenwolfe5085]

So they were old race that is older than humans

[@sinphoenix]

Older than Eldar even

[@CollinBuckman]

Humans are fairly young compared to many other races in 40k, with the Tau being the only major race that's likely younger.

[@trollzynisaacjohan1793]

Humans were made by the old ones anyway. Well some in the imperium theorize that.

[@the_dropbear4392]

@@trollzynisaacjohan1793 considering by the time we had evolved that the old ones were already dead and missing, that's unlikely

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

Intriguing. Also that Kitan fucked them up real good.

[@SWEGProduction]

BIg Necron fan and big TES fan! Today is a good day

[@ashleg8350]

Me watching this vid: "wow, never knew there was this much history behind them..." Suddenly, at 4:48 : "Ooh, hey, a Pattern Screamer..."

[@SuperNoah9999]

"You damn kids get off my lawn!" The Necrons to the entire galaxy.

[@RealCaptainVN]

[@xthukuh]

[@NPC-kv6ee]

[@lordinquisitorpeter8221]

Excellent video. Now please do the Inquisition next.

[@alexdittman1135]

Love the canoptek wraiths

[@gargoyles9999]

Triarch: And what's your name oh great Star God? The Deceiver: The Deceiver Triarch: he seems trustworthy

[@theomnissiah-9120]

gargoyles9999 to be fair the deceiver is so good at lying he doesn't know if he's lying or not

[@the_dropbear4392]

he wasn't named that till later after they were tricked into their new bodies

[@ianchristofer5412]

3:20 ahh yes, azir aka "The Silent king"

[@masterzoroark6664]

Essentially: Mr Bones owns the galaxy and you are just living in it. He also wants you out of his Galaxy Wild Ride

[@vaepuer2290]

The best race- No, the only race

[@Guyguy86]

[@JackgarPrime]

Settlers of C'Tan

[@stanislaviliev6305]

3:21 literally Azir from league of legends

[@Quicky69Streams]

That's definitely a picture of Azir from League.

[@Mohamed.Ashraf.0]

They are in it for the long game

[@Dhrakhan]

This needs to be remade with the return of the silent king

[@liamberthou-lochet6880]

Necrons Azir would be dope in both games really

[@MaleWhaleAle]

Can you PLEASE explore resident evil? There is such a cryptic and mysterious world in that series with secret shadow governments and families that have insane amounts of power and I feel like there’s a lot of good material to make a small series out of

[@swordyoda117]

Can you please do more videos about warhammer these are so good

[@loganeda]

Bruh the random azir at 3:30 im dead

[@ovenfriedfries5055]

[@chanheeshin68]

[@Smiteforce]

I'm really enjoying your content. Thank you so much. Do you happen to have any videos on the Adeptus Mechanicus?

[@TheMalkavianmadman]

I like this series because I am not up to date with the current 40k lore

[@rodneyg9746]

Love how the picture at 3:23 is actually a reskin of a League of Legends character. Literally lol.

[@Sykohsis]

Ah the Necrons. The only race in 40k that can be considered the good guys.
