I love how absolutely apocalyptic that battle was. Back when Necrons were written as being genuinely terrifying, and not as the latest bolter fodder for the Astartes.

[@WASDLeftClick]

They really should be borderline Lovecraftian. They’re literally undead aliens who were fighting galaxy-wide wars before life on Earth had properly emerged from the primordial soup, or at the very least long before mammal-like creatures began to appear on Terra. And the only real emotion most of them are capable of feeling is loathing for all life.

Hello, I'm newish to the game and lore. Been loving boldermorts stuff and you can up. I love your voice, amazing narrations. Thank you for doing novels and books this is a great way for someone just beginning to get a feel for the lore

[@christrefz3195]

Nice work bringing the campaign alive. The account was pretty chilling and gave the Necrons the feel of Lovecraftian Great Old Ones returning to end the world as we know it. The only problem with writing a foe that apocalyptic, is you inevitably have to either put them back to sleep just as quickly as you woke them, Cthulhu's fate, or you have to de-power them back down to just another enemy. Otherwise, the game would be over, LOL.

[@GUMMRUCHK]

After this you gotta wonder how in the flying fuck the Necrons haven't swept the Imperium aside. lol

[@Arukan]

Sometimes I wish the Necron would just win. They get intel from a dude surviving and then kill him for surviving. The Imperium dooms itself and then blames everyone else. There are no good guys in 40k, but the Imperium is absolutely not part of the "smart" factions.

[@Arukan]

The Necron don't even register "cowardice" so all they did was kill a dude for surviving. GG Imperium, GG anyone stupid enough to defend this methodology- even with in-universe reasoning. An Inquisitor of any intellect would put to death whoever made that ruling- including calling another Inquisitor into question for such reckless wasting of life. Granularity is a waste.

Could we revise that to not include the Imperial Guard by any chance? Any time they show up they seem to be pretty honorable
