@@cardengixoth6878 It is only in the arrogance of mankind that we would name the reflection of might 'humanity'. Across the Galaxy, it is one of the very few logical principals that persists throughout organic life, regardless of sector, system and world. As such, it stands to reason that even Xenos filth long since distant to life as moons to base organisms, would recall the old logic. The logic of war. Of conquest and strife. Who better to reflect on another's might, than them, born in weakness, than them, who reign over the very stars themselves.

This was actually pretty good story - no lovely-dovely fairy tale, but somewhat grounded and realistic - both sides were prepared to betray each other, but at the same time had grudging respect of their enemy.

[@THEdeadlynightshade1646]

I mean that really isn't betrayal it's offering minimal support to achieve mutual goal and more importantly as advanced as the necrons are they probably had sensors that can detect that bomb so if I was the silent king I would say ya f those guys absolute bare minimum not a single flayer shot more they bring a weapon of mass destruction to a peaceful meeting?

This is what started making the necrons my favorite faction. Their motivations just seem to make sense.

The silent-king is easily the most likeable faction leader. Supremely powerful, but also empathetic and self aware. He knows that Chaos and The Devourer cannot be allowed to exist. What he does isn’t informed by some grand, delusional ideal, it’s to fix the mistake he made and return the souls of his people.

There was also apparently an alliance between the Necrons and the Grey Knights, as they appear to have a large stash of Tesseract Labyrinths. The Clade Callidus assassins also appear to have C'tan phase swords. Both of these organisations were formed in the 30th Millennium by Malcador - the GK codex in which it's mentioned states that relations with the race who provided the labyrinths have since broken down, indicating they were acquired as the result of diplomacy with the Necrons. It wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility that Malcador might select Sanguinius as an emissary for such a secret mission .

[@Mastercio]

In GK codex there was a fragment saying that those pokeballs were given them by creators, so yeah. Its heavily pointed at some sort of agreement. Probably because both faction REALLY hate warp. So necrons just give them stuff and they done job for our skelly boys.

And this mysterious trader could be no other but Trazyn The Infinite himself, as he surely has plenty of Tesseract Labyrinths to spare and was very active during HH, it is not unlikely he decided to do some trading to get some trinkets easier, while he himself really focused on capturing artifacts from places they may be destroyed quickly in ensuing fights between brethren

@@sonicwingnut it would be one hell of an interessting Story Imagine one of the oldest and powerful beings in the galaxy meets the angel of the imperium

@@trazyntheinfinite yeah it would make sense too - Tesseract Labyrinths can be used to perpetually trap demons which means unlike banishment they can't just respawn. The only problem is the timing - it would probably have to be after Signus Prime but pre-siege of Terra. It couldn't be during Imperium Secundus either as if Malcador could speak to Sanguinius they'd have known the Emperor lived. The only other option I suppose is if the Silent King actually confronted Sanguinius and gave him the tesseracts, then once on Terra Malcador took them for his Knights Errant. I guess Szarekh would have reason to do so, Necrons not being a fan of Chaos themselves. The other potential option mind is they were completely unrelated incidents and the tesseracts were instead a gift to Malcador from Trazyn - who probably thought it'd be fun to give some humans a load of pokeballs and see what they got up to.

Necrons use to team up with the Imperial guard to protect the pylons of Cadia which raises the question if the Pylons are Necron made

[@mitchminteer317]

What I find confusing is that there is also consistent lore that tyranids will just ignore necrons since they have no biomass to devour.

I would watch every topic with this narrator, but I really like that he is putting more obscure things as topics in his videos I sorely know glimpses off, also I like the retelling of the horror books very much ^_^

Thanks for another incredible video. Your story telling ability is unparalleled in the 40k KZbin space.

[@risingdamp220gaming6]

Amazing job explaining all of this! I could watch videos like this forever.

[@Sydewinder86]

Not me slowly coming to the belief that necrons and salamanders are the only good guys in 40k

[@Balgus4]

Alrigth, this was way more interesting than I first imagined. I had my share of laugh on how bad this team up seemed back when it was new. But now I see it from a different eye, thanks to you, well done!

[@Im_Not_Here57]

The VO was pretty good here. The Stormtrooper sounded like an average Joe. This allowed his performance to bounce pretty good off the Kriegian's more despair filled poetry. There is room for improvement in the VO department and it would be cool to have a sort of slight muffle effect for the Kriegian. But you did great overall. Edit How did this get here? I meant this for a different video! But your VO work was great too.

Sanguinis and Szarekh could have bonded over their incurable ailments. The red thirst, being soulless, the anger issues, the super cancer.

The team-up we should be seeing a lot of consists of the craft world Aeldari and the Tau. They seriously have no reason to hate each other.

[@calebhelton725]

well after their first encounter with the Drukhari they are apprehensive since they were/are not aware that the Drukhari and Craft worlders are two different factions and in all honesty if i saw a homunculus made up of members of my race i would be pretty miffed off not to mention as soon as the Tau found out the Drukhari had already assaulted one of the tau's planets for slaves and s before the Tau could respond

[@samueltrusik3251]

As someone who adores everything Tyranid, and peoples` reactions to them, this video is fricking golden.

[@satan-ii3wu]

Tales like this make me believe the grimdark setting holds 40ks story back a loooot

[@pr9039]

A great PeaceHammer 40k idea would be: Humans create stuff, use the Necrons to act as eternal janitors, and all the trash and waste is shoveled off to the Necrons to snack on.

[@wihamsthesecond1107]

Are you going to do a "Happiest moments in Warhammer"?

[@morgoth6273]

**Spoiler** Ok s,o there's one thing that I love fantasizing about and that I hope will become true in future lore. Basically in recent lore, the chad Ghaz is hunting down Angron, after the daemon primarch somehow killed his long rival commisar Yarrick. And seeing how strong Angron has become recently (the fact that after being banished he can come back to the real world in 8 weeks, the recent destruction he caused where Khorne of all people, intervened directly like the emperor did with Mortarion), I would love to see Guilliman, fighting his brother in a losing battle, but suddenly, a massive "Waaagh!" arrives during the conflict with one angry ork boss shouting "Fund Ya!". Then Ghaz proceeds to jump Angron (megatron and sentinel prime style), saving our favorite blue boy's ass and banishing the red angel for good this time (with some Gork and Mork woodly doo, but this part is irrelevant, it can go however GW intends).

[@ballsinurmouth-2]

they will never banish him for good. there is too much money to make off of primarchs. and ghaz doesn't have it in him to perma kill daemons that is a very rare thing to happen. he'd have to get blasted the same way if not harder than horus did by the emperor

[@davidkoudelka10]

I mostly just wannt to see Ghaz and Angron fight each other. And I think it would be hilarious if Ghaz said "found ya!" as he spotted Angron on the battlefield.😂

"who will ever remember the name of a dead human emperor?" hold on, who DOES remember the name of the emperor? does anyone? do the custodes remember? because i dont think i ever heard the name of the emperor, and i doubt the average 40k human knows. as much as this sounds like heresy, the abominable machine has a point.

[@civiux]

You absolutely never miss with these videos

[@TruculentSheep]

It's a sad story for many reasons. Deep down, under all the drama, culture and pageantry, the Blood Angels really are the nihilists the Necron narrator accuses them of being, willing to blow themselves and billions of innocents up on the off chance it might make a difference. They were too blinded with hate to realise what the Necrons were up to, or to twig their allies were just as willing to screw them over as they were in return. And for all that, the Necrons honoured them, in a fashion. Ultimately, though, it's about a very lonely being who wanted to make a friend with another lonely being, and still hoped to make a connection with them through their children. Szarek knew Dante and his boys were rigged to blow, but he also knew the mask of their Primarch would stop them in their tracks. And he also knew that Dante was key to Sanguinius' long term plans. So, he kept the ingrate alive, while not making it too easy for the angry little git. For all their own scheming and machinations, it's hard not to read The Word of the Silent King and think the Necrons were the better men - not that this is saying much.

[@Judge_of_Anubis05]

It's really hard to argue against quite a bit of the necrons views on humanity alot of thier views are near spot on so for the necrons to think Sanguinius would have been a better leader than the Emperor is very interesting to say the least.
