When you realize the "perfect" immortal beings that are the necrons are actually afflicted with varying degrees of dementia due to faulty hibernation process. Trazyn is one of the few lucky ones who sound almost sane. One of them thinks he's still a Necrontyr from before the War in heaven. And let's not talk about the Necron main force who woke up braindead! Their main hope is that the ones who didn't wake up yet didn't deteriorate as much as they did. But I'm not counting on it. Even the Necrons can't survive forever. At least not in this form. Which reminds me of the end of the video where Trazynn evokes a return to flesh thanks to humanity. Does he want to download the Necrons minds into human bodies? And why humans? Whatever the plan, I hope it's both epic and crazy.

Ctan and Necrontyr had beef, no beef if the toads are already gone before necron as you claim, and no ctan if no beef, and no eldar or krork if no beef etc. Super wrong here. 3. Actual provable FACT that neither Necrontyr nor the Old Ones were first. It was probably some uninteligent race with no space exploration skills. Unless we dont count logical conjecture then it was an unnamed race that had spaceflight first, we know Old Ones were elevated thus decided to go elevate others, it implies someone had to elevate them.

I think the one thing that I love about Trazin is that his rivalry with Orkan aside, we get the sensation that this guy *loves* the universe and as part of his major drive, wants to preserve it in a twisted way. Like, he noted Creed was an incredible figure, so whisked him away so that he would remain eternal, even though he would've normally died when Cadia fell, yet was strangely thoughtful enough to return his coat to his daughter who he knew would attach sediment to that item. Or that time he inadvertently protected humanity from the Orcs and became remembered as a Space Marine chapter. For a faction largely consisting of stagnant figures who are generally really uninterested in living, breathing beings, the fact that a literal soulless husk of a man could find purpose and beauty in the world worth preserving for eternity is strangely touching. Horrific mind you, these people are often abducted and may never wake up ever again from these super weird re-enactment scenes that he painstakingly builds like a 40k diorama builder, but the fact he does it in a queer sense of adoration is incredibly unique in this universe usually shown to be brutally uncaring.

We also did a video on the Segmentum Obscurus where Trazyn painstakingly goes through the worlds and systems of the sector for over an hour, give it a look if you haven't already!

fuck me dead, As a necron fanboy, and a lover of 40k lore... You have made a video that will stand as a MUST SEE video for anyone new or older entering into 40k. This video, is bar none, in my top 5 lore videos that encompass the entire galactic history in a concise way. This is fantastic work, be proud of this.

16:20 - Nice touch using two shots picturing the ship and the core from the Event Horizon movie when talking about early attempts of warp travel. I read "The Infinite and the Divine" few months ago (in December 2022) and I will share a quote from the book (I write down some quotes from all the books I read). So in "The Infinite and the Divine" by Robert Rath on page 138 at the bottom we read: "In general, Trazyn had not been much interested in humans. He collected them, of course, he collected everything. But he considered them on the same level as orks, or various kinds of carnivorous algae. Their spread across the cosmos had destroyed so many more interesting civilizations, and since the rise of the Emperor their culture had an utter sameness that bored him. If Trazyn cared about the mere ability to propagate and spread, he'd spend his eternity collecting bacteria. Just because a thing was successful and ubiquitous did not make it fascinating - it just made it common. But the Horus Heresy changed all that. Before it was all colonisation and settlement. This, this was history, this was drama. Betrayal. Struggle. Brother fighting brother across the gulf of the stars. Empires rising and falling, heroes and rebels. He'd collected so much that he'd begun to worry he'd gone overboard."

[@WarriorTier]

Trazyn: "Humans fight amongst themselves more than any enemy." 17:12 Orks: "... Are we just a joke to you?"

[@AAGEnzee]

From a percentage/per capita standpoint.. yea, Orks should win hands down.. but from a total numbers angle, humans are on far more worlds and have far more factions at legit war with each other in much larger wars. Orks skirmish against each other on a world when there's nobody else to fight, but they don't wage full scale wars against each other to the extent the humans do, they band together for a waagh against somebody else when it gets to that point.

[@ninjagrimlock1718]

I think it's more that they fight between themselves more than they fight against any enemy.

[@AAGEnzee]

@@ninjagrimlock1718 but they don't necessarily, thats what im saying. The big waaghs have more orks in them than hundreds of ork systems that are infighting. It depends if you wanna say most clans are infighting each other, which would be true, or that most actual orks are infighting instead of trying to join a waagh.. which i don't think is true (but that's a bit hard to prove).

You are an absolutely god-tier story-teller. This was phenomenal. Talent like this is what makes me love 40k. I feel like a major component of 40k is the fan base's talent and the many unofficial works like this. Games Workshop is shooting themselves in the foot by attempting to take stuff like this down, The recent surge in popularity is because of works of art like this.

[@Magos_Fritz]

@@homeofthegooddeal Near 100% of everything in this video is official 40k lore, (biased as it's being told by a Xenos of course). As is the character telling the story, Trazyn who is a major character in the setting for the Necron faction. This video, is in my opinion, is a great introduction to Warhammer 40k for newbies. You should check out Luetin and Bricky to learn more about the setting, if you wish. If you prefer reading, google Lexicanum which is a warhammer 40k/fantasy wiki.

Great job Warrior Tier! You and Matthew deserve all the likes for this one! While its different hearing Trazyn's voice without a robotic filter it does give a sense that his true self is talking to the audience not his robotic form. His soul I suppose you could call it. While I was listening it was like his old self was talking with the memories of his entire existence. The overall history of the timeline made sense although he doesn't have all the facts in the right places, he did mention he was basing his timeline off of what he had which made sense to me. But right at the end, the idea that humanity would be used as the means to restore their flesh did remind that the Necrons plan for humanity is not a benevolent one. Anyway great job man! You, Vox, and so many 40k youtubers inspire me to begin putting out my own work. I can only hope to learn and grow in the coming months, while at the same time cheering you guys on to keep going.

[@georgesutherlandhoward4417]

I love how much this emphasises the mystery and uncertainty of 40K's lore. Its sheer flexibility and unreliable nature is one of its greatest strengths, and one that is far too easily forgotten in lore videos, which too often take in-universe statements as a hard fact (especially where the Emperor, the Imperium, and Space Marines are concerned).

[@UFL3]

The voice acting for this is just incredible

[@WarriorTier]

Matthew Plumb is amazing, we are very fortunate to have worked with him on some amazing projects!

[@kanishksingh1242]

The imperium, tau, elder, and even chaos are relatively recent elements in the galaxy, which I believe most casual viewers and even dedicated fans who immerse themselves in Warhammer 40000 forget. Even if the imperium and its enemies are our primary concern, we must not lose sight of the fact that they represent but a blip on the cosmic radar; in comparison to events that occurred millions of years ago, such as the war in heaven, even the ten millennia old Horus heresy appears fresh.

[@yaelz6043]

The Eldar shouldn't be on that list, they spent 60 million years ruling the galaxy and 5 million before that fighting the Necrons who are the only ones older than them.

[@Mastercio]

@@yaelz6043 To be fair they didnt fight them for 5 million of years, Krorks and Eldars were created in latest stages of war as last resort. Its still 60+ million of years though.

When you actually stop to think about it, the Necrons are directly or indirectly responsible for nearly every shitty thing that plagues the 42nd millenium. The War in Heaven truly fucked up everything for everyone forever.

[@Mastercio]

@@CteCrassus well... If you take that approach, Old ones are responsible for it as much as necrons. And even C'tan as they were the reason necrons have the entire "space cancer".

[@CteCrassus]

@@Mastercio The Old Ones didn't start the war. They merely refused to share their secrets with the Necrontyr because they didn't trust they would use them responsibly, and taking into account that they immediately responded with murderous, genocidal violence they were probably correct in their assesment. But how were the C'Tan responsible for the Necron's absolutely horrid spawn point?
