Excellent work Historator. I respect your dedication to your assigned duties, especially in light of the time you must’ve spent exposing yourself to the nature of these foul, mechanical Xenos.
Can't help but notice our dear Oculus now provides us with shockingly neutral and humanizing portrayals of beings that until recently he would routinely deride as "abominable and perfidious xenos". Could it be that his recent encounters with the Inquisition is inspiring him to question and reconsider all those "values" the Imperium has indoctrinated within him?
@@marshall_zhukov i refer specifically to the Oculus's "conversations" with Inquisitor Verity Calendra of the Ordo Hereticus (the episodes featuring Stephanie Swan Quills) which are definitely worth checking out if you have not yet done so
For future videos, I wonder if you could play characters from different factions. While the in-universe Imperium scholar is fun, for me, it was stretching believability here, sort of 'how does he know this?' For this, I think a Necron perspective could have worked for keeping track of events (maybe even Trazyn!) Just a thought. All the best!
Wow I literally just bought myself the new model of this guy and sat down to build it and suddenly oculus put out a video on the guy 😂! Thanks oculus! Love your work!
What a good idea for a new theme of videos. Oculus has become a bit more jaded and disillusioned over time, so this might be the spark to get that righteous fury back. Honestly this might be his form of therapy. Get back to his roots and abhor the Xenos.
Oculus, I see a Necron in the intro, but I hear a historian couching his concerns for his own civilization in a proxy. Watch out for that "inquisitive individual."
It is my personal belief that Imotekh heralds his arrival to a battle by blasting the "I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING" verse of Bury the Light across the entire enemy planet.
And now I understand all those that have actually lost their true selves to whatever sex drugs rock and roll whatever it may be or just waiting a little while wow they will be harvested
How the hell is Imhotekh a villain? All he’s done is try to stabilise and restore his people’s empire, and clean off all these disgusting wriggly screamy things that have accumulated all over it during the last few millennia!
@Oculus Imperia Xeno's should not have a heavenly hymn as a background music! I feel the music you used in the Ordo-Sinister videos is more appropriate!
It would be interesting to see some Dynasties go full renegade and engage with other species. Perhaps insane treaties with the Dark Eldar or more logical alliances with humans or even Tau. An enlightened Phaeron ally to the Farsight Enclave would be... something.
Fotrek awakening Imotekh to a lesser and corrupted realm of villainy and scum has powerful Underworld movie vibes with Selene awakening Viktor to the same situation. Maybe that's an archetype, but it's a great story in both cases. Love the lore.
Imotekh: "What have you idiots done with my empire?"
Guilliman: "I know, right?"
Talk about a conversation I'd pay to hear.
@@bigollameoso agree. I feel like the Imperium and the Necs would have a lot to talk about.
"Contra-immaterial nodal xeno- matrixes."
Finally, someone understands my sexuality.
@@ikenosis8160 In necron society, your sexuality is defined primarily by the caliber of your gauss gun.
I'm reading “The Watchers of the Throne” books. Second book. Very apt lol
I love the hand waving of "a tomb world was dismantled by the Votaan"

Someone doesn't know what spontaneous means 😂
You can’t cock a boltgun
“Cranial ornamentation”
*chef’s kiss* Nailed it.
I can only see Imhotek laughing at Magnus’ cease and desist letter. Jokes aside, Necrons are always fun to learn about.
Gaze upon this.
I cannot see a thing.
**Wheeze**
"Villains of 40K" - you could put almost every character in this series
Any 40k character that doesn't qualify is one that died real early.
Considering that lore-Oculus is an _Imperial_ historitor, I doubt he’s going to call Bobby.G et al. a ‘Villain’.
The Imperium are the good guys however unless you're a daemon or a bug of some sort so you have all manner of heroes to talk about there
@@unatco6554they are the bad guys if you are a hive serf or agri worker or indentured scribe or SERVITOR too don’t forget
@@natnorth9976 most servitors deserved it and seemingly most of the human civilizations they encountered during the Great Crusade were proto-chaos worshippers even if they had "freedom" so Imperium are still the good guys.
Necrons just love to go for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.

"Jewel in the dynasty's cranial ornamentation"

*"I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!"* - Imotekh probably
*PROVOKING*
BLACK CLOUDS IN ISOLATION
I AM RECLAIMER OF MY NAME
It unironically fits
You see an Oculus video, you like the Oculus video. I don’t make the rules I just follow them.
Well after that you watch it of course
Upon seeing the video, I ordered a "like". That is my style sir.
Ok
Agreed. Them’s the rules.

I like the newcrons. The oldcrons were a silent cosmic threat that popped up and wasted a world to disappear, but using more Tomb Kings dynastic court intrigue makes it a lot more personable.
The Sautehk civil war is like the "Death of Stalin" but on an interstellar scale. (good movie, btw)

Because aside from luetin no one else comes close to be as eloquent. The only other that might come close is arch. Not a fan but he writes very well

Hail the loremaster, likes for algo gods, comments for engagement throne
Awesome: “He, in fact, did not.” Wonderfully understated!
"Ok i got half mymeal break left to kill.." perfect timing for a now Occulus video 😂

Wouldn't the Inquisition make him more xenophobic ?

I don't usually expect humor from Oculus. But it's so subtle and fits so elegantly, I love it when I find some. Delighful!

Or... OR.... the Oculus conducting an interview with a necron or a farseer. Maybe a captive one, so it makes sense, or a clandestine meeting.
@Drazakhan_Dynasty like what occulus did with Iskandar Kauyon? I liked that format
Best way to start the day - a healthy dose of the lore.
Always enjoy the Friday uploads. Hopefully we get another Chaos gods video this year and its Tzeentch.
Wow I literally just bought myself the new model of this guy and sat down to build it and suddenly oculus put out a video on the guy 😂! Thanks oculus! Love your work!
Easily the best lore channel on TH-cam. Love your vids man, keep up the great work.

"Villains in the 41st millennium" thats quite an understatement occulus investigatus of the logos historica vertia
I like the contrast between this video and the aeldari ones so now it's clear that oculus really just hate eldar
babe wake up oculus posted
Necrons awesome, cheers Oculus :)
And suddenly it's a good day. Thanks Oculus.
Glad to see the Villain spotlight, love your videos.
Best part about randomly stumbling along this channel is being able to binge and never run out of great videos.
Knew if i kept scrolling youtube would finally give me the goods.
ah, is this going to be a look at the evil hero and lord units of 40k? I like your thinking Oculus! Seeing Ahriman as the next one would be awesome.
amazing video i love Necron and Eldar lore in general video savd alrdy
Just shouted across the house to my wife: “NEW OCULUS DAAAAAAY”
*Villains of the 41st Millennium*
Yea, this is a series that can last for decades. 😅
Oculus video about necrons? Let's goooooo!!!!
Imotekh: "Is it time for the Great Awakening?"
Imperial Schmuck: "... Ummmm, no?"
Imotekh: "Then frak off!"
Hell yeah, new Oculus video!
Now I'm really hankering for an Orphean War series after this, hope it happens one day with both Vraks and Badab War still ongoing 😉
This guy ladies and gentlemen...
This oculus guy ...
He’s back!!
Look at all these imperials complaining that someone else did the whole "genocidal empire" thing earlier and better.
@Oculus Imperia Can we get some more Theology Damnata in the future ? Also, please remember to make some decent wards next time ^^
Another amazing piece! Thanks Oculus!
So good to see an Oculus video. So many ai generated scripts out there it's good to get a "human" channel.

Villains of 40k... so every major character.

Welcome Back Oculus 🫡
Yay! I needed a new Oculus video today!
Great video! Next an interview with the silent king please.
Awesome lore content.
Yuuusssss do a villain series!!!!
So good! Thank you
Another banger 🤌🏻
Let's go new xenos lore!
Ah, yes, "Villains of Warhammer 40,000"; the most bountiful of video topics because there are **literally trillions of them to choose from** XD
The lore emperor of 40K
Love me some Xeno lore! Bring on more!
Any chance of a new Age of Sigmar video in the near future ?
Thank you.
Comments for the comment god!
Engagement for the algorithm!
I hate the algorithm. Good video.
Great viddo.
Does this mean we could have a “Villains of the 32nd Millennium” series?? :D
TH-cam has failed me. A day late to this one.
More or less every named character in the setting.
Always strange to hear how "human" the Necrons can be
Praise the Infinite Empire!
So when are we going to get a heroes of the 41st millennium video? And when is it going to be about Dante
Great now I want to collect Necrons again...
Ooh necron lore, automatic click
Ayyyyyyyyy
"Villains of the 41st Millenium"...well... you'll not be lacking for potential subjects for this series, at least ;)
I don't know what you mean by "villain". It is his natural right to rule the galaxy.
Necron fans rejoice!
And now I understand all those that have actually lost their true selves to whatever sex drugs rock and roll whatever it may be or just waiting a little while wow they will be harvested
I Cant lie, I really wanna see something like this for wod. id listen to occam teachings all day. technically already am lol

Never! Praises to the Emperor must be continual to prevent memetic corruption when reviewing of the data stacks of the O.I.
More like Imotekh the CRINGELORD, GOTTEM

Villain... That's an interesting term to apply to the most gifted strategic mind of our or any other time.
Everyone in 40k is either a villain, or scheduled to die so that we can see how villainous someone else is.
You spelt "Heroes" wrong in your title, just FYI
REMOVE.....INTRO...BLEEP
The necrons are by far the lamest faction of 40K
