[@joseg.6187]

Suggestions: your videos tend to just end kinda sharply. Persons have it trail a bit with music or have a closing note/music. That would be nice. Nothing long but would help. A few tines I think I got disconnected but it was just the end.

[@yashuarazohr486]

8:53 shouldn't the K'tan repay the Necrons with immortality, instead the other way around? Good video by the way.

[@TastyTardis]

The War in Heaven wasn't really about the Old Ones denying the Necrons the gift of immortality; it was merely a ploy by the Silent King to unite the Necrontyr against a common enemy. I think it's also fair to say, judging from some of the Necron books, that they wouldn't settle for anything less than immortality anyway, so there is that. They are still my favourite faction in 40k though.

[@haruplays2573]

I did not know that necrons are going to be the saviors of the galaxy.

Can I just say that with all the new channels popping up yours is quickly becoming one of my tops I mean of course Baldermort is the King and then we have the trickle-down effect that goes to Oculus and major kill and Luetin and warrior tier, amber king , Vox in the Void, Sandman of Terra, Lexicanum, 40k Theories, Arch, AND Scholars Lore, BUT YOU HAVE CARVED OUT A PLACE MY FRIEND!! THESE VIDEOS ARE TRULY AMAZING! THE VOICE IS PERFECT (YOU CAN FALL ASLEEP TO IT, WHICH IS HUGE!!), THE ACCOMPANYING ARTWORK IS AMAZING, AND THE LORE IS SOLID!! I AM TRULY EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THIS CHANNEL GOES AND WILL BE HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL!! THE EMPEROR PROTECTS! "VICTORUS AUT MORTIS "!

[@SwordsAndSorcery8]

I agree with that list. I'd like to add that I stumble upon a smaller channel called Imperium Archives that is pretty good 2

great content!!!

You sir, are AWESOME. And I am definitely proud to be part of the first couple thousand to join your your ARMY. >:3 Soon it will be tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands. Keep up the fine work. Love that unique voice!! 👌 Food for thought 🤔 I am connected to many who have Warhammer lore. In a land of 1000 violinists, how will you separate your music from the other 999? 🤔🤔🤔😊 Bring that unique spin, eh? 😏 I look forward to what's to come from you . 🤝

What the Necrontyr said to the Old ones: "Please help us. We are dying as a species, we need help to fix our tortured genes. Please help or we will have to take the most drastic steps." What the Old ones heard: Necrontyr: "I dont know how to make sunscreen lotion. Guess i'll just go nuke the sun to get some relief."

Hey! You seem to be new (or at least all your videos are). I have been listening to some of them and i really like the tone and cadence. Just wanted to leave a comment to ask you to keep going with these interesting videos! Good Job! I also hope it helps with engagement.

[@AlexanderBC42]

love your script and voice!

[@justind4175]

This is quality. Keep up the great work.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

The Necrons do have other means of FTL travel than just the webway, though it was the fastest. They also have the mysterious "inertialess drive" that I'm sure The Silent King also had equipped on his ship, so he probably travelled more than just 60 million light years. They say its about equal to modern inperial ships in warp speed, so potentially 10s of thousands of times faster than light. It's the difference between a few dozen galaxies explored and a few dozen thousand to hundreds of thousands of galaxies explored. Even on the lowest possible end he must have acquired a vast amount of knowledge but exponentially more so when you factor in FTL speeds. Not a factor to leave out on my opinion!

[@DeathBYDesign666]

I also know that it was a massive continent or planet sized ship, but we only know that craftworlds can't travel FTL, we have no idea what a Necron version would be capable of. With the inertialess drive size and mass might not be an issue and the eldar don't have that capability. Plus humanity has built ships that size that also have FTL capabilities, a.k.a The Phalanx and Sparenza Ark Mechanicus. There is no canon reason to assume it had no such capabilities.

20:55 even if some small part of your mind is still in there, you can't ever tell anyone because your body doesn't have a speaker built into it. That sounds like hell to me, now i understand why they all walk headlong into gunfire, They just want it all to end. And then they get resurrected! To do it all over again! The poor bastards😢

[@greenwitchinc.1682]

Cool video my man. But some glaring contradictions made it into this vid. I won't be a wanker and point them all out. But here's one... "It was impossible to kill the C'tan, but they could be shattered into Shards..." Then you follow this up with- "One of the C'tan was completely destroyed. But before dying he cursed the Necrons." Lol! Common my dude. 😅

[@wethemachine6342]

Yea this is actually a contradiction in the lore itself

You’re actually wrong there is in fact one ctan that was obliterated! Look it up

[@jaiclary8423]

I dont go to warhammer for the physics, but it breaks immersion when the author starts right off completely misunderstanding how long it would take to travel between stars at close to the speed of light. Earth is in a relatively sparse area and even we have neighbors about 4 light years away. Thousands of years? Not even close.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

But assuming they were originally looking for better habitable planets they might have gone a bit further out. It did take them thousands of years to finally meet other sentient races. There is still much more galaxy left after the first few hundred light years or so, so yes most of the Galaxy would take thousands of years at light speed.

[@jaiclary8423]

@@DeathBYDesign666 Sure, and you're only crossing 1% of the milky way in 1,000 years, but 1% is still really, *really* big, with roughly a billion stars on average. So those incredibly long journeys would happen eventually, but probably not before they're spread across countless planets, even at relatively modest habitable planet density.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

They existed in the Halo Stars man. That’s basically just a big ring of MAYBE habitable star systems that surrounds the galaxy on all sides. They might have had closer targets, but those targets were probably either dead or home to aliens too powerful for the Necrontyr to combat effectively.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

@@TheCorrodedMan It's just basic math bro! There will always be more of the Galaxy at the 1000s of light years distance than stars relatively close to home, that would be true for anywhere in the galaxy. Some were obviously much closer but I would guess that so many more would have been much further away. They had the stasis fields also so they didn't really need to limit the distance plus relativity combined we're talking days of travel time from their perspective.

[@manu_spawn]

You do know travel in 40K is unrealistic and uses dimensions and time (depending on the species) to travel, right?
