After reading "Infinite and the Divine" and "Twice Dead King", I'm more and more excited for Necrons as protagonists, instead of simply being the spooky skeleton monster. Amazing work as ever, Baldermort!

[@johnbeck1978]

I'm forcing my way through the infinite and the divine but god's damn it's dull reading. I really hope it picks up in the middle to late chapters

[@jajordan2106]

​@@johnbeck1978 the early sections are pretty dull as they introduce you to Orikan and Trazyn. I think it picks up around the court case.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

Is anyone ever thinking about what secrets he learned in his 60 million years of exploring the greater universe? He left on a planet sized vessel that had ungodly technology inside it, it would be silly to think that he didn't pick up a thing or two in all those countless eons. He could have a Dyson sphere sized ship full of intergalactic technology by now. He could have encountered other c'tan free roaming the universe or other such entities possibly even beyond that. He's the only known entity to have explored the greater universe and to have returned from such a journey. The only question is how far did he actually go in that time? Even if you give a century a piece of travel to the next galaxy he would be somewhere in the high hundreds of thousands of galaxies explored in that time. Even if he took 10 thousand years to explore each one he still would have covered thousands by now. Imagine the knowledge and technology of 10 thousand galaxies that might be just as if not more advanced than ours. That sounds about right, taking a few thousand years to fully explore each one. Who knows, the Tyranids might just be the tip of a very small iceberg. He either found a universe full of Tyranids or something much worse that made that threat less compelling prompting his search for greater knowledge and technology. Let's face it, if he saw them as that great a threat he would have figured it out much faster than 60 million years. It's important to remember that all of Warhammer so far is all taking place in one galaxy and we have only heard the smallest mentions of what lies beyond. The Tyranids are but the first extra galactic entities that we are made aware of. One thing is for sure though, The Silent King has knowledge that no other being in our galaxy has had before. Maybe he encountered "The Old Ones" in his passage and brought them along back with him. He could be storing them like Trazen in a museum which would be a feat even Trazen couldn't match. He could have bonkers levels of technology by now and the old ones could be among the lesser beings in his collection. He never needed to grow from increase in population but the sheer amount of knowledge he has acquired probably would require more room at least. He might be the most advanced being in the cosmos at this point, encountering countless numbers of other God emperors and their galaxies warp spawns of emotional aspect chaos beings. For all we know he already has the answers to save the galaxy and needs humanity to do it, we do know that the astartes are considered the perfect candidates for biotransference of their minds into a soul wielding copy of what they once were. That implies that a strong vessel is required to perform such a feat, I would imagine that a custodies or even a primarch would be even more so. The god emperor himself, being half alive and half dead, caught in a state of limbo that he cannot leave lest the entire empire crumble... Well the silent king has experience in this arena and could provide the answer to him for the price of an alliance. The Emperor only saw xenos as a threat to his empire during the expansion and they were of lesser advancement and knowledge, so maybe he makes an exception for more advanced beings. But a being that could possibly solve the greatest problems imaginable I'm sure he wouldn't say no. I wonder what beings could possibly have the technology to put the power of a god into a physical body, The Silent King may have even seen this being done before in his travels. It's also possible he just accelerated for 60 million years and basically time traveled due to relativity and accomplished nothing, but he still would have covered 60 million light years of travels, even just data collection that's still probably 10 galaxies worth of information. My guess is that he has something else that nobody else could ever offer regardless.

[@Teutonicredneck]

After reading "The Twice Dead King: Ruin" I'm 100 percent sure that the biotransferrence did not completely destroy the souls of the necrons. Their souls are like droplets of tea in a discarded McDonald's cup, mostly gone but with precious bits left.

[@DollarStoreAbomination]

Which McDs did you go to... If the tea was that damn good...

[@YourBonesInMyDresser]

@@DollarStoreAbomination the McDonalds tea in Detroit is pretty precious.

[@uncle_pappy_sam9983]

I think that's what it was supposed to be. Like their sould were eaten away except for the bare minimum to keep them functioning. If they were to somehow transfer them back into a living body, they'd probably just be a vegitable. At least the common people (warriors) were. The higher up you go in the hierarchy, the more of a soul/sentience they have left. It also make me wonder if they could take a bunch of humans or other sentiant race and put them through the same process for more warriors

[@DeathBYDesign666]

​@@YourBonesInMyDresserI remember back in the day McDonald's tea was pretty bomb, I'm not sure about these days though, it's probably the same blend Lipton sweet tea my restaurant uses. It lost something along the way and I only wish I could describe what that something was.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

Plus they did have the c'tan shards who consumed their souls so it's possible maybe some remnant latched on to the few Necrons that have the honor of using that resource. They are also the ones who are most likely to retain what was left of themselves in almost every other way so it makes sense that they might have some semblance of a soul. Who knows what the silent king even is after 60 million years of being active and exploring the universe. He might not only have regained his soul but become a god of his own right in levels of soul power. 60 million years is a very long time for such a being to remain actively looking for a cure to his kinds most regrettable misfortune. The knowledge he attained must be incomprehensibly vast and incredibly powerful. Odds are he encountered vastly older and more advanced beings along the way. I refuse to believe he spent the whole time just cruising the void recording nothing, observing nothing. We know what other Necrons have done with just a fraction of the time he had on his hands with just one galaxy at their disposal. Even Trazen has a 50 plus million years of catch-up to do. None but the Necrons he took with him have been awakened the entire time and TSK probably kept his lesser servants in stasis most of the time. I really hope they don't nerf the significance of this too much, maybe a little but it has to be tactfully done.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The Silent King should not be underestimated by the forces of the Imperium for it was he that led his people to face the Gods in the War in Heaven, and with his return the entire Necron race may pose the singular threat to all of the Galaxy.

[@Happyface714]

Curious to see how he'll curve stomp the Tyranids

[@ninjasquirrels]

The Great Devourer have more angry bees than there’s solid matter atoms in the entire galaxy…read that again. This is exactly why he, or anyone else actually, don’t have to worry about the Nids. GW have to just keep d!cking around with them because should it, the whole thing, show up…there’s nothing anyone could do to fight it. Necrons wouldn’t fight it as such, they would just go back to sleep and hit the snooze button until it left. Even though it’s canon that Nids can actually consume the necrodermis, enough of them would survive to rule the barren wasteland we call The Milky Way. That’s why GW will never go full Nidtard, it would be the end of Warhammer 40K 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@Happyface714 according to the ordo xenos the proverbial Great Devourer have consumed “hundreds maybe thousands” of galaxies according to maths…not sure exactly how they estimated it but it is what it is. The Necron threat is currently the ONLY threat, again - the way GW just blabbered on with the Nids, they never actually really THOUGHT about it. If you go by lore and what we know of the universe in the real world today…yeah no effing way ANYONE or ANYTHING short of Thanos and his glove can save us. If they actually make it to the Milky Way, even if we all became best friends with every sentient being in the entire game…it would still be millions or even billions of bees for every swinging d!ck alive. 🤷🏼‍♂️ oops?

[@chrisfrombeyond4240]

The necrons may be the ONLY race that have a ghost of a chance at defeating the threat of the Tyranids.

[@eichler721]

Great story and the Necrons are so scary thinking that a Warrior was a base form who had no combat experience and the Immortals, Wraiths, Deathmarks, and Destroyers are the real base Infantry of the species. The warriors of the Void Dragon could only be damaged by Old Ones or weapons made by the Eldar Smith Gods weapons. So powerful and terrifying.

[@NainakaiAyita]

ALL HAIL TO THE INFINITE EMPIRE

[@williamamely7038]

If the Silent King successfully achieves the Biotransference for his people, it could potentially lead to the Dynasty's demise. It could reignite the ambitions of his former rivals, leading to civilwar. Also, if the Necrontier were human in appearance, prior to becoming machines, the Imperium could try to subjigate them back into humanity's empire, or both join forces to finish off all Xenos races, and Chaos. Plenty of possibilities, indeed.

[@shipkipsamazingchannel3248]

Amazing video as always! Some very minor things at the end, the song of oblivion is only city sized and blew up a moon rather than full planet, but world engines are a very real thing used by the necrons which use gauss projectors to cleanse an entire planet at once and are planet sized themselves

[@luciferdiva3370]

I believe it was once described as ‘planetoid size’ I think maybe in the 5th edition codex but can’t quite recall. In the 9th however it certainly changed to city size which is interesting, as that could mean anything from hive city size to planet-wide necron complex size 😅

[@photonicmassemitter]

More great content! My theory for the Silent King is that he probably views humanity as pawns in the larger fight against the Tyranids and to a lesser extent Chaos. He returned after seeing what was presumably the main mass of the Tyranids coming towards the galaxy and weighing his options, the Imperium intact can serve as a meatshield to blunt the incoming tsunami while at the same time keeping the Chaos forces mostly at bay. Traszyn didnt help out of goodwill after all. That and probably the Emperor himself, a type of being unseen since the Old Ones.

Well-spoken, good Servo-Skull! Your opening narration gave feeling to the now-apathetic revenants of metal. You have captured much of what makes the Necrons so suited to the grim darkness: their tragedy of loss and utter alienation to the things of life that molded their minds before the furnaces molded them into skeletal undying armatures; seared and severed from life but barred from its conclusion. I mourned for the hero of your story because I know the same sort of peace that defied his former wracked body comes over me when I am with my own beloved. It is such a vibrant peace, a peace not of silence and repression but one of deliberate harmony. To know that peace and love been severed and mangled by such violence as unwilling biotransference would provoke an ever-burning wrath within me. I do not know if it will be so but I hope our hero finds vengeance.

I'm ridiculously invested in the Necron Saga, constantly thinking about possible narratives; both past, present and future. Up until this point, when I'm watching this video for the second time, I've been certain that a civil war is a'brewin', one between Szarekh and Imotekh. I haven't abandoned that idea of course; to me it's inevitable, but now I'm also contemplating Orikan. I don't want to spoil anything for those who are yet to read "The Infinite and the Divine" so I'll be as vague as I can, but basically I'm thinking about his aspirations as well as what he actually managed to do. Not to mention the fact that he warned everyone about the C'tan and biotransference. Also, even though I get Szesarekh's wish to reverse the biotransference, I still think Necrons in their current form has the best chance of defeating, or at least seriously annoy the Tyranids. All this is of course just my thoughts, and due to the fact that I'm somewhat new to 40K (compared to many fans at least; my bf introduced me back in -16), there's still a lot of lore I'm not familiar with.

I like this intro to the character. Great seen setter. About 3/4 thru I thought it would've been interesting to have a seen where He was telling this tale to a captured human or marine before an interrogation or something.

[@Pyrrhus399]

just poking my head in again, and begging for a video on the imperial guard regiment, the maccabian janissaries (my favorite aesthetically, but wish there was more eyes and lore (fan made or otherwise) with them). that aside, good video as usual here :)

[@Pyrrhus399]

hell I'd do some art for that video if you want (just gotta find the time with commission and stuff)

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

As somebody who adores the lore and plays The Szarekhan Dynasty on tabletop; I firmly believe The Necrons are the single biggest threat in the galaxy even more so than Chaos

[@opesam]

Love it... 😍

[@tommygreene47]

Wow that was amazing 👏

BL should get you on their Audiobooks Brother Balders as you literally gave me goosebumps in that initial story bit there Squire!

Oops didn’t know this is part three, I’ll just pause that there and catch up🎉

[@donhodgkinson6233]

this is one of the greatest videos of all time, sadly the silent king so relatable to myself since passing 40. I am particularly impressed by the 2 lovers fighting against the forced bio-transference. For those unloved it would not be such a bad fate. Amazing sci-fi they should make an old style d&g rpg about a necron tomb world! i would buy that for a dollar

Blackstone shards taken into the warp? And fired at the 4... I wonder...

[@beskararmor7966]

We all know if plot armor wasn't a thing nothing can stop the Necro's. I mean they literally have a live 3D map of the Milky Way they can just extinguish stars and planets with a flick of their metal fingers.

[@Average-Tomboy-Enjoyer]

I am but a simple man, I see a Baldermort notification. I click it.

Oh that hurt. I head hanged low when I heard what happened to her.

[@daverage4729]

"What are your plans my phareon?" "Redecorate bitch! This throneroom...its sooooooo 3,000,000 BC!!"

[@baldermort]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Daedricsoulslayer]

Finally getting around to assembling the True Lord of the Necrons and this is available! Righteous. Also I have Dante sitting here watching me assemble Szarekh

[@h3r0ofhyrule]

I was under the impression that the choice to remove the command protocols for all Necrons was irreversible. Was it not?

[@baldermort]

It stated that. And yet… new lore states that they see the king and become slaves again It’s the command protocols. Must be. He just needs to be close to reinforce them it seems.

[@johnd2058]

Dinosaurs but Halloween as heck.

[@derekburge5294]

He will save us from the tyranids. And chaos, maybe the orks, and definitely the tau. ... Question is, who exactly does 'us' encompass?

[@NainakaiAyita]

HUzza! More Necron love ♥

[@mawkishdave]

I think the Silent King is locked away in the British Museum.

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

OH SHIT PART 3!!!

[@arkosilaura]

Re-instating the command engrams is deeply hypocritical of Szarekh after all he did to supposedly free his people from such things. If his plans were so benevolent and so beneficial to his people, then he could convince them of his plans. Forcing people to obey is usually a sign that whatever they are about to do wont be very good.

[@keppa8644]

I hope one day we get a glimps in to the war in heaven.

[@dasnoworrunts6779]

I love that skin flayers are loyal still tbh

[@kevinishki]

The Necrons genetically altered the orcs and used them as a weapon to destabilize the old ones. That's why the eldar ended up fighting them

[@baldermort]

Nice head cannon. Would explain a lot if it were true. But I find no evidence for that. :)

[@kevinishki]

@@baldermort yeah I was listening to your avatar of Khaine video and how he fought the eldar. Things just don't add up to what happened and where the enslavers came from. I really hope GW goes big on the war in heaven and explains everything, and that it's not a disappointment
