Xenobiologis: Necrons - War of Heaven (Warhammer 40k Lore)

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

Asking various Xenos about the fate of The Old Ones: Necron: "They are assholes, and i'm going to shoot you now" Eldar: "They are myth, and i'm going to shoot you now" Ork: "Brain boyz? Waaaaaaagh!!!" Tyranid: "Omnomnomnom"

[@AnIdiotsLantern]

Haha yah that just about covers it

[@lsamaknight]

Well, there's one Necron who might answer differently. Trazyn: They were assholes. Would you like to see my exhibit about them?

No one can question the righteous hatred, and contempt that the Oculus holds for the Xenos.

Yours has become my favourite 40k channel. It's not just the lore, but the persona you narrate it with. The devoted but curious Imperial scholar is awesome. Keep it up.

[@MrPiccolop]

Indeed! Viva Tintin La Leutin too! :D

[@potatoespotatos]

@@MrPiccolop Luetin is another very good one indeed!

[@Advo42069]

They all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Leutin tells an excellent story, but imo he tends to spend too much time avoiding conflict by pre-justifying his reasoning.

[@BeratLjumani]

Advo and Arch Warhammer has the most consistent releases, while 40K theories asks interesting questions and theorizes while doing fan made Astartes chapters. And 40 facts about 40k is just trash.

[@voidimperatrix406]

That ending had fire, damn

[@matthewmcneany]

I feel our narrator has rediscovered a hatred for the Xeno compared to some of his recent logs, a visit from a friendly Inquisitor no doubt reminded him of where his duty lies.

[@olivier5251]

Loved the grumpy "Ave imperator, gloria in exelsus Terra"

[@MrBluman999]

I know. Such hatred in his voice.

[@danielmartin4596]

I loved the vicious passion in this one. Less dismayed by the state of the galaxy and humanities place in it, and more disgusted and furious that such a thing would dare exist. Sounded like you really had fun with this one.

[@justervids]

The *venom* in the outtro of the record is *delectable.* Lovely work, Oculus.

[@MarquisLeary34]

Hatred and fear in equal measure.

[@dinocha0s]

Love how you basicly said "bring it b**ch' to the Necrons at the end xD Just imagine the necrons lazily waking up only to find Bolters, lasguns , tanks and titans all pointing their guns at the necrons

Keep this up bro, seriously these videos aren't only the best Warhammer lore videos, but probably one of the best videos on KZbin. The way you use words and your choice of music in the background is just pure magic. 10/10 would pray to the God Emperor to this again

I just watched the other one yesterday, so this is perfect timing.

[@MrLookatmyhat]

A dash of venom in the chronicler's voice at the end. Maybe he holds a grudge against the Necrons for something? You're also going to need to do that 40k special in a hurry! 4,500 to go!

[@raycearcher5794]

Maybe he spent some time as one of Trazyn's statues

[@MrLookatmyhat]

@Iron Hands Terminator all xenos are hated, noble terminator. That is given. However, unlike other chronicles discussing the vile xeno hoards, there is an extra layer of hatred for this particular breed that shines through.

[@cbassthefirst1343]

Baha, we necrons have outlived your subspecies for many a millennia. It will be we who see the very end. As chaos shreds your feeble souls and casts itself back into the horrendous place known as the warp, it will be us who watches the final flames snuffed. Our king wills it, and our patience guarantees it.

[@MarquisLeary34]

Is it courage or foolishness that drives them to resist a force that has laid greater empires than theirs to waste? I never can decide with humans.

Except there is no evidence of the Old One's outright creating any species. It seems they were gardeners and not Gods. They influenced life and change as they saw fit. But it doesn't appear they created anything out of whole cloth, probably because it wasn't nectary. The galaxy was fertile enough to do it all on its own.

[@vsGoliath96]

The one thing I find really funny is that 60 million years is more than enough time for a dozen dozen races to develop technology so far beyond the Necrons that it would be incomprehensible to them. I don't think GW really thought out just how long a gulf of time that is. Or the fact that the Orks and Eldar are still around and look exactly the same.and use the same technology as they always have? Natural evolution alone probably would have taken care of that too.

[@MarquisLeary34]

Not so sure with the Orks. They do differ quite a bit from the Krorks in mentality alone and yes, in physical features too.
