Ah yes my favorite spooky scary space skeletons, today is a good day. It’s still a shame that the pariahs disappeared, they were so delightfully macabre.
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Here’s to hoping that that they’ll come back one day, I still keep my models just in case they do. Well for sentimental reasons mostly at this point ngl.
If only Black Library wasn't run by oblivious Necron Overlords, they would've hired you to narrate Warhammer audiobooks. You are on par with any of their professional narrators, my friend 😎
Coming from YOU, that is a an astonishingly gracious statement. I;ll take that to keep me warm at night over my week of break. As soon as I am back I am going to relaunch. But when that's done, we soooooooo need to Lore together. To be complemented by one of your heroes is mind bending. Mrs B and I listen to most of your stuff (40K, mythology, Dune now - YES - and even some battletech.) If only I had the time to comment on all of them - sorry! I will try to do better. :)
On par..? No. Baldermort surpasses them completely. (Most make the Black Library sound like THE most boring example of Grim Dark Sci-Fi... Baldermort gives it both style and weight!)
Sidragrosm thank you for the huge compliment brother. But Hellsreach? I need voice coaching and more experience to even get close to dreaming of being that good. Sooooo fantastic. ‘I will die on this world’. Magnificent. Maybe one day. ;)
The idea of one or a handful of Necrontyr managing to flee from the Triarch and C'tan, just to live in flesh out of spite...Oh how I like this idea. Great narrative introduction as always, dear loremaster. Wish you well in these trying times.
I have seriously developed a huge love for the Necrons and their lore. It’s getting so intense as well with the silent kings returning Also I love your videos!
@@Baldermort I really want to continue with my Necron army just because of the new Void Dragon modle released by GW in their latest promo image. Its so over the top and I love it, but I swore to myself I'd spend more time with my Blood Angles and stop neglecting them :(
Max Wylie holy throne do I agree. For me it’s the silent king first, VD second. But a close one. I am very excited to see what they do with the lore on this one, the VD. Very excited indeed. ;)
@@Baldermort its so exciting especially with the Pariah void made by the Necrons which massively hints that it was made to fight against the Tyranids more so than to deal with the cicatrix maleadictum. Seeing as it severs the warp from real space in a massive area which would definitely effect the Hive mind. So many possibilities to what it all means, and very very exciting indeed :)
Max Wylie I know! It’s damn exciting stuff. I ranted on and on about the Necrons pylons in other vids and a few laughed hard. Heh. The vindication is lovely. Rare that it is, but this time it feels great! :).
I have most recently been taken by a great love and muse for the Necrons. Ever since I read their novels and saw them as Tomb Kings. In a different form. This video inspires me more to adore the Necrons! I am glad to have found your content.
Theoretically, could the spooky space skeletons infiltrate imperium settlements/bases/ships by dressing one of them in meat and makeup. Thus creating a "terminator" type of infiltrator?
The poor flayed ones. After being driven nutty butters after being awake for 65 million years with the voices in you or head to keep you company will make anyone go a little wonky. And while they are skilled at flensing and dressing their victi,,,,,I mean subjects, their sewing and crafting skills are a bit lacking. All they want to do is be a real boy again.
Only Brother Baldermort could face grandfather Nurgle and still sound awesome. Jokes aside, wish you a speedy recovery, your stories always bring a good moment of joy, but your health comes first good sir
Awww yiss. Nothing like the dulcet tones of Brother Baldermort talking about the ultimate pros of making the best of a bad situation to help combat a particularly nasty case of insomnia. Thanks again, as always, Brother. Of course I can't help but say aloud with you: "...let us lean on existing wisdom, TO quote:..."
Terrific introduction as always! I love your lore videos, no matter the topic, but your Necron videos and your take on the Tau are among my favorites!!
I do love those little stories at the start of each video. You have a certain way of bringing life to both the hopeful living and the soul-less undead of 40K
Love the Necron lore, adding it to my Indomitus playlist. Looking forward to the weekend! On an aside, I only just found out that you were on Adeptus Podcastus, only an hour into that but it's a lot of fun. Please, if you find yourself with the drive and time to do so, please do more podcasty stuff, it's really nice to just hear you talk about what makes you happy or excited. Hope you're doing well brother :)
Thank you for your kindness brother. I do fear live work or podcasts. I use archaic language sometimes. And due to where u come from some slang is not meant offensively ever, but can break current norms and mores. Someone had to explain that a ‘bean head’ was a racial slur whereas I thought it literally meant ‘your head is a bean’. That kind of thing. So it petrified. me. :(.
@@Baldermort that's fair mate, I know I can't speak for everyone but I wouldn't hold such things against you. Every has a different vocabulary, and it's less the words that matter and more the intent behind them. You're a genuine, kind, and upstanding bloke so I am saddened you worry about being perceived as anything but that. Keep up the good work mate :)
THE TIMING! i just got necrons in the mail today and ordered a ghost arc recently. not actualy big into necrons so i was hoping for some inspiring lore!!
Thanks brother. It’s safer for me, as I then don’t muddle codices or editions and makes sure we get the most up to date info out there. :). Also, it’s themed to be predictable so it’s relaxing. Hope that bits working. ;).
@@Baldermort By the way, I watched the stream you did with major kill and you mentioned you purge the enemies of the Imperium with the Blood Angels. You should consider doing an army showcase or something similar at some point. I plan to do something like that once I finish my current projects on my own models.
The Celtic Guardsman alas, my figures all need a refresh and I honestly haven’t had a chance to paint in the near year I’ve done this. :(. If I ever get it under control and start painting again, sprucing up, then I might. But I am not talented artistically. It would inevitably be a bit of a disappointment at the moment. But I will be day update my Crimson Fists, my Blood Angels, Nids, and all flavours of Eldar. Sigh. One day. :)
Theoretically, the Tyranids have invaded all galaxies or even more surrounding the milky way, so there is a relatively high chance they have fought or are fighting races similar in strength to the tyranids. If so then the hive minds probably evolved tech jamming units, but it might be too OP to apply it to cannon
I love how the Necrons are the best counters to the greatest evils in the galaxy while being one of the greatest evils themselves. You want them to be your friends because they diddle all over chaos and the tyrannids but you know damn well even if you ally with them you are next on their list. My life in 40k would be a short one because I would find it so hard to resist trying to GET THROUGH to them somehow.
Woah you are not only a wonderful teller of the lore but a wonderful teller of stories in your own right, and from what i have seen you like many artists are too harsh upon yourself. Thank you so much for your work, i'm sure I'm not the only one here who would stay even if you left for a year :-)
I'm happy you used my necron piece! I commissioned it from the excellent artist Koh Liang Jiang, and he'll be thrilled to hear you included our artwork! Excellent work as always, HRN P.S. Would you mind terribly adding a link to Koh LJ's Artstation profile in the description? He would appreciate the publicity. I'll leave this link here for convenience: kheljay.artstation.com/
Hi Brother Nelson, Sorry about that. I am a bit of an internet dummy, so just use pictures if they are awesome and expect people to tell me if I have goofed. I have added this most excellent artist's url to the description. :) :) Thank you for the nudge and advice! :)
I would be honoured, Brother! Although I must say your own video on the Thunder Warriors was one of the best I've ever seen, it's what introduced me to your channel, in fact!
@@Baldermort When The Silent King gets wind of this, a new breed of Necron will be unleashed. The Barristers are introduced to the galaxy's horror! No franchise will be safe!
Thanks boss. :) As soon as I am back from my break we need to talk. Work out a gooood collab format for new Necron players. They will NEED to know where to get the juice if they decide to play Necrons. Who better than TH-cam's one and only Silent King? :)
Has anyone had the good sense to remind you, yet again, that you have a magnificent voice? It does not matter what you say, all of which in both interesting and entertaining, because that deep powerful voice is enough to improve my day.
Great video on great content as always! This particular narration was epic. Don't play 40K however I do love and joy The lure and content creator such as yourself and if I did play it made me want to create a necron army.
Well, if you ever do consider playing, watch a batrep or two. It really can be an intensely fulfilling and rewarding experience. Find a local club, just have a look. Theyll be lots of different types there. Usually someone fir everyone to play against. Usually. But lore for itself is just as good. It’s YOUR hobby. Your interest. You what you want my brother. :).
@@ImperialCommissarRikart only the honourble khorne any else gods betray their kin and thats not the way that a warrior should go no poison no schemes no magic just your mind and body in unity on the Battlefield
Well great, now I'm going to have to paint at least one of my next batch of warriors as a patchwork in honor of this bit of lore. Badly makes the monotony of work so much better.
Feel better Baldermort, I am looking forward to the direction of the narrative! The war at Abundance is setting itself up to be so huge, I am very excited for it!
Ah. I do need to talk to people about that. fFS. My addled brain. Hit me another message in discord after my break and we need to chat for a while. Sorry it’s taken to long. :)
I think that you need to point the Necron fleet at Grandfather Nurgle's garden Mr B! Get well soon, and then you can show us why we need to research robot anaesthesia tooty sweety! 😁
I can only hope I can make it as horrific as I have planned thus far. I am putting in place features that should make my writing fresher and not predictable for the event. Wish me luck. I am sooo going to need it. :)
Will de eventually. But they don’t have models as far as I’m aware. So it’ll be the existing thingies first I’m afraid. Still a start site. Sorry brother. Give me a nudge again though. Just not yet. :)
Catnium it does look like it, now you come to mention it. There is soooo little artwork out there when you dig into unit by unit, topic by topic. It seems inexhaustible. But it’s actually minuscule compared to the time WH has been around. :(.
Wow, your preamble gave me goosebumps! Listening to these increasingly I'm wondering how the Imperium is going to stand against the Necrons within the meta
Scott Stoner ‘‘twas a fair bit to pick. ;). Oh crumbs. I can’t even think of a replacement now. Bit tired before week off. Help a baldy out? I need a flesh eating horde that rings of deserts, sands, etc. Ants isn’t cutting it for me. Hit me! I need the imagery to also be correct. Less nits. :).
I've been binging this channel for a while now and I've noticed that in a majority of your videos there is always this segament where you appologise for not going into more detail for one reason or another and i gotta tell you man... You really don't have to. The amount of work that goes into these videos is not lost on anyone with a brain and I hope you know how valuable a channel like yours is for someone like me who is just starting to get into the hobby. Idk if you'll see this comment but either way thank you for all you do, its very much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to say that brother McKenna. It’s more to show that we are only scraping the top of the iceberg. That there is so much more. :). So see it more as ‘we’ll get to the nuances in time’. I never want anyone to think ‘ah. That’s it’ after my brief introductions. That’s all really. :). Thank you again for all your generosity of spirit. Welcome to warhammer. :).
Erm. I tried filming one. But I looked at my pitiful excuses for painting and canned the idea. I spend so much time in this I’ve not been painting (still not actually good at it). It was an eye sore. Maybe when I get faster and can get my brushes out again. :)
The excellent narrative of the ghost arks will be continued ... or as Brother Baldermort might say "I'll be BACK!" ... ennnnd QUOTE. It's a cruel world.
I use musical themes for factions. I don;t usually give them out, as per my statement in my Q&A. Its not selfishness, its a fear of being replaced. Mrs B spends so much time finding them you see. Some just walk off with it and then try to replicate to replace me. SO I don;t do it anymore. Sorry. :(
Holy turnips, a ghost ark in Space Engineers... ah, but it must be an old build, probably before the hover engine mod I make Astartes landspeeders with.
Psychic Awakening Pariah: SPOILER ALERT. Please do not read unless you want to. Ah...the Necrons. If only GW would allow them to finally show their true power. Poor Szeras got punked by two good ladies (see Psychic Awakening Pariah), and on tabletop well...let's just say that I don't see Necrons winning any games against Space Marines anytime soon (melta squads that can fire twice. TWICE!).
They take all the water and do a kind of cursory search for other minerals at the surface. The misconception is that other planets have a similar structure to earth. The crust/mantle/core model might be wildly different for other planets. I'd assume they cant just suck up molten rock and radioactive elements, so they have to be choosy in some form or fashion, right?
Well to be fair everyone hates the nids. Except the orks, they like playing with things big nasty and willing to engage in the favorite let's see who bites whose face off first contest.
So, this looks a LOT like both the Battlestar (2004ish) Cylon Resurrection Ship and the Star Wars Trade Federation Droid Transports. So did these copy off GW, each other or did they all just fashion themselves on like a rack of sausage or something?
Necrons- Egyptian themed. Thousand Sons- Egyptian themed. Necrontyr- strike a bad deal that turns the majority into mindless automata. Thousand Some- cast a bad spell that turns the majority into mindless automata. 🧐
Yep. When you boil a lot of factions down, we’ll.... it is what it is. I think GW are used to people only reading their own codex. So repetition has been ignored? Just a thought. Either that or they don’t really analyse their own output. I don’t think I’ll ever know. :)
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer I haven’t actually PLAYED since the late 80’s early 90’s, but I keep up with the lore, so I’m rather well versed on the whole shebang. (My first army were Slaaneshi Eldar. Which makes NO sense lol)
Scott Stoner lol. Fair. Any part of it is as valid as any other! (Said the guy who can’t paint for toffee). They are doing great, but I always sense a tiny cottage industry feel still smacks off them? Like GW, despite all its people, all their talent, all that is available to them now as a multinational juggernaut - they still act like they did. ‘Whoops, it’s only us 3 hippies doing it’ kind of feel. I mean, do they even have an editor in chief? Do they check things? It seems not. Know what I mean?
Scott Stoner and slaaneshi Eldar made perfect sense in the 80s. The bright colours etc. It was a very different far future. The heresy did not even exist. Lol. Weird now.
I could have swore, that I read somewhere tyranids also consume massive amounts of ores and metals from a planet. I think it was in The devastation of Baal where they are noted being picky and going for already refined metals. That would lead me to believe that Necrodermis would be extremely valuable as a material for them to consume. A living metal? Imagine Scything Talons and living ammunition made from it. The horror.
kangtheknightx but the quote comes directly from the 8th edition Necron codex. So, nuanced or not, at the moment they don’t. May change with 9th? Who knows. GW sometimes aren’t very worried about consistency, so I have to go by the codex of the faction in the spotlight. Yep, it’s even more maddening for me, I assure you. ;).

P.S. Would you mind terribly adding a link to Koh LJ's Artstation profile in the description? He would appreciate the publicity. I'll leave this link here for convenience: kheljay.artstation.com/
Hi Brother Nelson,
Sorry about that. I am a bit of an internet dummy, so just use pictures if they are awesome and expect people to tell me if I have goofed.
I have added this most excellent artist's url to the description. :) :)
Thank you for the nudge and advice! :)
Last time I was this early we were about to crush Maulland Sen and dethrone the Sorcerer King!
Lol. If I ever go deep dive into The Thunder Warriors I may just have to get your advice/opinion. :)
I would be honoured, Brother!
Although I must say your own video on the Thunder Warriors was one of the best I've ever seen, it's what introduced me to your channel, in fact!
I always wondered about the similar appearance and function of the Necron Ghost Ark and the Cylon Resurrection Ship.
Yep. Identical basically. :)
@@Baldermort When The Silent King gets wind of this, a new breed of Necron will be unleashed. The Barristers are introduced to the galaxy's horror! No franchise will be safe!
Ah yes, my absolute favorite place for lore!
Thanks brother. :).
Awesome stuff mate, you know I like my NECRONS!! :D
Thanks boss. :)
As soon as I am back from my break we need to talk. Work out a gooood collab format for new Necron players. They will NEED to know where to get the juice if they decide to play Necrons. Who better than TH-cam's one and only Silent King? :)
Has anyone had the good sense to remind you, yet again, that you have a magnificent voice?
It does not matter what you say, all of which in both interesting and entertaining, because that deep powerful voice is enough to improve my day.
Mrs B might disagree. :). Only joking. Thank you for your kindness brother. :)
Another delightful, magnificent entry!!
May you recover soon and well from this so called "Frog" in your throat!!
Great video on great content as always! This particular narration was epic. Don't play 40K however I do love and joy The lure and content creator such as yourself and if I did play it made me want to create a necron army.
Well, if you ever do consider playing, watch a batrep or two. It really can be an intensely fulfilling and rewarding experience. Find a local club, just have a look. Theyll be lots of different types there. Usually someone fir everyone to play against. Usually. But lore for itself is just as good. It’s YOUR hobby. Your interest. You what you want my brother. :).
Foul xenos abominations, this video will be very useful should I ever encounter such terrors, thank you kind friend
Aswell from the khorne side
@@garank4971 You are an envoy of the dark gods?!
@@ImperialCommissarRikart only the honourble khorne any else gods betray their kin and thats not the way that a warrior should go no poison no schemes no magic just your mind and body in unity on the Battlefield
Lol! You guys are sooo cool. :)
@@Baldermort pssst i'm under cover !)
Well great, now I'm going to have to paint at least one of my next batch of warriors as a patchwork in honor of this bit of lore. Badly makes the monotony of work so much better.
Necron get the ark!
Love ur work brother Baldermort many thanks yet again :)
Thanks brother Lugz. As always. :)
Feel better Baldermort, I am looking forward to the direction of the narrative! The war at Abundance is setting itself up to be so huge, I am very excited for it!
Ah. I do need to talk to people about that. fFS. My addled brain. Hit me another message in discord after my break and we need to chat for a while. Sorry it’s taken to long. :)
Going away Friday for 7 days for reference. Sorry. I’m being really dense this week. ;)
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer all good Baldermort, I hope you have a wonderful time off. I will be happy to reach out after you get back!
Bohdan Bilas thanks brother Bohdan. Always. :) :) :)
Awesome sir, thanks for the video. I'm off to have some fun.
That's what I like to hear good sir. :) :)
Your voice acting is amazing.
Your narrating is awesome
I always get goosebumps when I hear when you said "two quotes" and "end quote"
❤️
Keep em' coming Baldy!!!!!
Good stuff!
Ah perfect :) i had a shit day and need to relax Baldermort to the rescue once agian. Thank you for the wonderful and relaxin videos :)
Hope the evening is better than the day brother. Much. :)
@@Baldermort Thank you :) sure it will be :)
im loving the background music to these vids
I think that you need to point the Necron fleet at Grandfather Nurgle's garden Mr B! Get well soon, and then you can show us why we need to research robot anaesthesia tooty sweety! 😁
Oh; they’ll be playing with the Grandfathers sons and daughters. I assure you. :)
This abundance tercios sounds like it's going to be the next cold shoulder incident I love this idea and I can't wait
I can only hope I can make it as horrific as I have planned thus far. I am putting in place features that should make my writing fresher and not predictable for the event. Wish me luck. I am sooo going to need it. :)
@@Baldermort at your skill level I don't believe you will need luck
YES YES YES !! Thank you for this gift needed a dose of Baldemort to get through the day ! Hope you are well .stay safe .
Just a frog in my throat. But run down. Glad it may help to get through the day. :)
Baldermort's Guide we all totally appreciate everything you do . We know how hard you try , it’s great being a part of this
Hoping you can cover Ordo Sinister when you have the chance!
Will de eventually. But they don’t have models as far as I’m aware. So it’ll be the existing thingies first I’m afraid. Still a start site. Sorry brother. Give me a nudge again though. Just not yet. :)
I found your channel from major kill, it’s really good
Thanks brother Jusnogood. :)
A good pick me up for a rainy day!
Thank you brother Lucas. Hope your week goes well. :)
You sound fine old boy no worries. You are still a badass. And I dig necrons I like the Egyptian vibe and the fact it is a race of terminators so cool
Them and Tomb Kings, just fantastic. :£.
Thank you for your kindness brother. A lot. :)
That pic of the overlord siiting on the war scythe is 🔥🤌🏾
13:00 Is that a ghost ark build in old school robocraft ?
Catnium it does look like it, now you come to mention it. There is soooo little artwork out there when you dig into unit by unit, topic by topic. It seems inexhaustible. But it’s actually minuscule compared to the time WH has been around. :(.
Wow, your preamble gave me goosebumps!
Listening to these increasingly I'm wondering how the Imperium is going to stand against the Necrons within the meta
Excellent narration as always Brother!
Thank you brother Sciotti. A lot. :)
“But the Necrons know better...”
The Necrons know that locusts don’t eat flesh...
True. Few knock that though and the imagery was important. Pedantry has its place old chap. Lol. :)
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer I know LB! Just nit pickin’.
Scott Stoner ‘‘twas a fair bit to pick. ;).
Oh crumbs. I can’t even think of a replacement now. Bit tired before week off.
Help a baldy out? I need a flesh eating horde that rings of deserts, sands, etc.
Ants isn’t cutting it for me.
Hit me! I need the imagery to also be correct. Less nits. :).
When the ghost are most in the ark out of the dark let us bark and smite with our might this night.
Poetic brother Kadj. Poetic. :)
@@Baldermort less and more sometimes like it i guess :)
Spooky scary skeleton space-wagon
Brilliant as always brother.
Loving it!
I've been binging this channel for a while now and I've noticed that in a majority of your videos there is always this segament where you appologise for not going into more detail for one reason or another and i gotta tell you man... You really don't have to. The amount of work that goes into these videos is not lost on anyone with a brain and I hope you know how valuable a channel like yours is for someone like me who is just starting to get into the hobby. Idk if you'll see this comment but either way thank you for all you do, its very much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to say that brother McKenna. It’s more to show that we are only scraping the top of the iceberg. That there is so much more. :). So see it more as ‘we’ll get to the nuances in time’. I never want anyone to think ‘ah. That’s it’ after my brief introductions. That’s all really. :).
Thank you again for all your generosity of spirit. Welcome to warhammer. :).
10 seconds early, just like the necrons (relative to their full reawakening)
When the dust settles, the only living thing in this universe would be metal - this was an ultron line but fits perfectly to the necrons.
I bow to our new Necron Overlords!
lovely Mr B!
Thanks Mr H. Hope you are ok. :)
Oohh Baldermort are you going to branch out into battle reports?
Erm. I tried filming one. But I looked at my pitiful excuses for painting and canned the idea. I spend so much time in this I’ve not been painting (still not actually good at it). It was an eye sore. Maybe when I get faster and can get my brushes out again. :)
Everybody gangsta till the necron ribcage start flying
The excellent narrative of the ghost arks will be continued ... or as Brother Baldermort might say "I'll be BACK!" ... ennnnd QUOTE. It's a cruel world.
I am so off my game. Missed opportunity for jocularity - right there. :)
@@Baldermort No sir, I won't hear of it - that's like saying that Stirling Moss once fluffed gear change. It's a cruel world.
So the ghost ark is like the warhammer fantasy's Vampire Counts corpse cart?
Pretty much spot on brother. :).
What is the background music from? It’s in a lot of your videos and I love it
I use musical themes for factions. I don;t usually give them out, as per my statement in my Q&A. Its not selfishness, its a fear of being replaced. Mrs B spends so much time finding them you see. Some just walk off with it and then try to replicate to replace me. SO I don;t do it anymore. Sorry. :(
Last time I was this early I high-fived Trazyn the Infinite.
Did you get the hand back? :)
No, but my ancestors did, in a party box with a hat.
Calum Simpson lol😂😂😂😂
i bet, if you can somehow install windows as main system in all of their tombs, they're pretty much screwed.
Rofl. Why is a scene from Southpark the movie now playing in my head? Lol!
@@Baldermort can't blame canda for everything, as much as would like to
Yeti MindTricks lol. I meant the Bill Gates bit. ;)
*Starts installing Updates in the middle of a fight*
also nice space engineers ghost ark
Necrons in lore - Tech so advanced its MAGIC
Necrons on table top - "Oh....all my necrons are dead...its turn 2....ok...."
Holy turnips, a ghost ark in Space Engineers... ah, but it must be an old build, probably before the hover engine mod I make Astartes landspeeders with.
Lol.
Psychic Awakening Pariah: SPOILER ALERT. Please do not read unless you want to.
Ah...the Necrons. If only GW would allow them to finally show their true power. Poor Szeras got punked by two good ladies (see Psychic Awakening Pariah), and on tabletop well...let's just say that I don't see Necrons winning any games against Space Marines anytime soon (melta squads that can fire twice. TWICE!).
True. But marines always come out strong on an edition. Give it 4 months. See what happens. Let’s hope it evens out a bit later. :)
Now I’m keeping my soon to have Necrons 😂😂
Wait, didn't 'nids take metals with them along with the rest of the minerals in the planet's upper crust, which they also mostly took?
They take a lot, but not all. Plus, it’s in the codes about the retrieval of troops etc. So I ran with it. ;)
They take all the water and do a kind of cursory search for other minerals at the surface. The misconception is that other planets have a similar structure to earth. The crust/mantle/core model might be wildly different for other planets. I'd assume they cant just suck up molten rock and radioactive elements, so they have to be choosy in some form or fashion, right?
I'm so very happy to get some non spacemarine stuff from time to time :)
Necrons really hate Tyranids! So awesome
Well to be fair everyone hates the nids. Except the orks, they like playing with things big nasty and willing to engage in the favorite let's see who bites whose face off first contest.
But nids love everyone! They don't discriminate lol
@@Cynocehali of course that because everyone else is tasty and good with ranch dipping sauce
So, this looks a LOT like both the Battlestar (2004ish) Cylon Resurrection Ship and the Star Wars Trade Federation Droid Transports. So did these copy off GW, each other or did they all just fashion themselves on like a rack of sausage or something?
Don’t it just? I’ll look up which cake first, but I think it’s the Cyclon. :).
So the crons will bring armadas to Abundance? This ought to be really good. Cant wait. Interesting story on the necron lord.
I keep hearing this term. Abundus Tertius. What does it mean?
It’s a huge narrative I’m heading towards. A battle the likes has not been seen. ;) just my own ramblings for the fun of it.
Honey, lemon, ginger and such things, get well soon :)
Aye. Taking bits and bobs. Thanks for the concern and advice brother. I’ll get some ginger in that beverage. ;)
More Xenos coverage is always good! ... Did you say Abundance?!
Oh yeah. ;).
Necrons- Egyptian themed.
Thousand Sons- Egyptian themed.
Necrontyr- strike a bad deal that turns the majority into mindless automata.
Thousand Some- cast a bad spell that turns the majority into mindless automata. 🧐
Yep. When you boil a lot of factions down, we’ll.... it is what it is. I think GW are used to people only reading their own codex. So repetition has been ignored? Just a thought. Either that or they don’t really analyse their own output. I don’t think I’ll ever know. :)
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer I haven’t actually PLAYED since the late 80’s early 90’s, but I keep up with the lore, so I’m rather well versed on the whole shebang. (My first army were Slaaneshi Eldar. Which makes NO sense lol)
Scott Stoner lol. Fair. Any part of it is as valid as any other! (Said the guy who can’t paint for toffee).
They are doing great, but I always sense a tiny cottage industry feel still smacks off them? Like GW, despite all its people, all their talent, all that is available to them now as a multinational juggernaut - they still act like they did. ‘Whoops, it’s only us 3 hippies doing it’ kind of feel. I mean, do they even have an editor in chief? Do they check things? It seems not. Know what I mean?
Scott Stoner and slaaneshi Eldar made perfect sense in the 80s. The bright colours etc. It was a very different far future. The heresy did not even exist. Lol. Weird now.
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer I sure do. You’d think it would feel more... polished.
Very very interesting... ✅✅✅✅✅✅
Chaos Gods: NO YOU CANT JUST STOP CHAOS!!!
Necrons: SOISOISOISOISOISOI! Pylons go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I could have swore, that I read somewhere tyranids also consume massive amounts of ores and metals from a planet. I think it was in The devastation of Baal where they are noted being picky and going for already refined metals.
That would lead me to believe that Necrodermis would be extremely valuable as a material for them to consume. A living metal? Imagine Scything Talons and living ammunition made from it.
The horror.
kangtheknightx but the quote comes directly from the 8th edition Necron codex. So, nuanced or not, at the moment they don’t. May change with 9th? Who knows. GW sometimes aren’t very worried about consistency, so I have to go by the codex of the faction in the spotlight. Yep, it’s even more maddening for me, I assure you. ;).
@@Baldermort totally fair. It's just weird.
So... Tyranids can't absorb Necrontyr?
According to the 8th Edition Codex. Yep. We;'ll see what happens in 9th. Nids evolve. :)
