    Team ups in warhammer 40k are incredibly rare. The necron blood angel team up is one of the most infamous of these rare occurrences. most don't know the full story as it was originally only briefly mentioned in a blood angels codex before getting a dedicated short story 4 years later. so lets dive in, and figure out what exactly happened.

    The fact that the silent king actually verbally addressed Dante is an extreme form of respect. He hasn't talked to anyone except to his triarch in millions of years. Now there might be some obscure lore that he did actually speak to others, but its few and far in between. You'd have a better chance of having a conversation with the corpse emperor.

      Necrontyr were very power hungry and Ye' Old Ones denied them from immortality for a good reason, then they made a deal with C'tan.. boom! We have the Necron.

      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.
      To be fair some necron phaerons and overlords are as batshit crazy as everyone else.

    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. Even Dante absolutely would not let xenos live, but he would not miss the opportunity to acknowledge worthy foe.

    • @THEdeadlynightshade1646

    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 .

      Soooo what you think the necrons* are gunna be cool with just letting the tryannids rip apart every tomb world? Of course their enemies of the neurons. Whats the point of ruling over the galaxy if it's been laid a complete waste of nothing post tryanid gorge?
      That's like letting someone burn down your house with everything you own in it and being like nah we not enemies bro... the guy didn't ever try to kill me or harm my body, just all my shit.

      Also why would the necrons even care about the tyranids? They have no biomass to eat? Only thing I can think is they plan on one day getting their bodies back and don’t want the galaxy scoured clean by the bugs when that happens.

      @@eeyun5279my theory is that in their feasting the tyranids will not only destroy tomb worlds but might also adapt to being able to use the living metal of the necrons as artificial biomass.
      alternatively its much easier and cost effective to destroy a bug nest before it grows too big. they could wait but then they'd have to purge just about every single world in the milky way thus losing resources and then spend even more on top of that rebuilding them

      @@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.

    It sounds a lot like the silent king has some sort of soft spot in his heart for humanity somehow. Like he doesn't necessarily outright care *so much*, but for whatever reason would prefer the human race to still be around when the necrons get their souls and flesh back. Maybe the emperor will wake up at some point and actually help the necrons get flesh back, considering his dominance over the field of genetic engineering and the fact that the imperium as it is regularly vat-grows servitors.

    The Silent King reached out and grasped Dante’s wrist in a remarkably Imperial manner.
    Then he leaned in with an alien grace that should have been impossible for a machine, and
    whispered something into the Chapter Master’s ear.
    "I speak the truth." The Silent King spoke to him. Tycho and I both strained to hear, but the words
    were lost to the breeze. Dante recoiled slightly, his face a picture of shock and confusion. Then he
    composed himself, and nodded to Szarekh.
    And so the alliance was accepted.
