They won the war against the Old Ones, and then rebelled against the C'Tan who were controlling them. It was not an easy war to win. Meanwhile the Elder and Krorks were quickly becoming the new threat, as they were creations of the Old Ones. They are the reason Necrons decided to go to bed for millions of years, hoping that the Krorks and Eldar would just not stand the test of time.
they did not, in fact, stand the test of time
@@wardulens7607 in fact, no one did.
Not even we did, but we're dealing with it better than the Eldar and that's all I want.
Don't forget the enslavers
@@wardulens7607 Eldars? Yeah they didn't
But Orks did the only problem is they're become smaller, dumber, and weaker
You've mentioned Trazyn now you are obligated to make a video of him, I would like to see it in your style honestly
I'm listening to the Infinite and the Divine right now. Two old men in a galactic pissing contest just running around annoying the shit out of each other. Amazing.
As a massive Necron fan and player. I personally find it funny when Eldar and Ork fans cope with that fact their factions lost the war in heaven. And the only reason why Necrons chose the go to sleep instead of dealing with the Krorks, Eldar, and warp bs is because they just finished bitch slapping not one, but two races of Gods (exterminating one and shattering/enslaving the other) out is shear pettiness I might add. So in essence they were tired and just straight up went “Fuck this, fuck you, I’m going to bed. It will sort itself out when I wake up”.
It sadly, did not sort itself up when they woke up. :(
I don’t think anyone won the war in heaven, the old ones jsut lost the hardest, and to be honest if the necrons had won why did the eldar have its golden age immediately after the end of the war? Saying the necrons won the way in heaven is just not true.
@@Dap1ssmonk You have fallen into my trap ya 🔪👂simp 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jaxxchang-weinberg4684 nigga what does this mean?
@@Dap1ssmonkI mean the necrons defeated their enemies gained countless worlds and then gained their freedom as well. That's pretty clearly a win. The Eldar just prospered cause the necrons chose not to fight them and just killed their creators/masters so there wasn't anyone to tell the Eldar not to expand.
That necron POV was flawless.
Magnificent
Subbed
Dead men walking made like the necrons as an enemy.
The infinite and the divine along with the twice dead king books made them my favorite faction. Love these guys
Dead men walking made me afraid of the Necrons and the death Korps in equal measure
@@xenon3990 agreed 100%
I had a really goofy idea a bit ago of doing a necron army of flayed ones who all were dressed like regular people and painted to "blend in" but you could still see the metal underneath, give them all little wigs too
Kitbashing is your freight
I absolutely love that into bit from the guardsman's perspective. Also quick correction, the Flayed Ones don't kill because they're _hungry,_ they cover themselves in skin and think they're still living biological creatures.
Flayed Ones eat, too. The Flayer Curse is about trying to return to the Time of Flesh, and giving in to sensation. They want to fill an empty feeling of hunger, they want to "put their skin back on" and flay that same victim.
The wave of Necron funnies was not what I expected and just what I needed. Necron memes are just...
Trazyn is the objectively correct answer to "who is your favorite Necron?"
you will refrain from writing such unscientific comments in szeras' presence
In monty python voice: We aren't going to the tomb world. It is a silly place.
As a Necron player, I agree with everything in this video.
E V E R Y T H I N G .
God tier introduction. Truly sums up both sides of the next one perfectly
I love the characters of sautek but I like the lore of the mephrit dynasty most. "Who is an eco terrorist? I am! We'll make sure those ecosystems never recover!"
Hands down this is one of my favorite videos you’ve made so far. The narration. The details. The M E M E S.
To clarify on the Necrons going to sleep
The reason for it was that their chronomancers predicted that if they slept for a time, the Krork (lacking any enemies to fight on the scale of the Necrons) would eventually devolve into a weaker state, and that the Eldar would more or less destroy themselves through excess
So while they could have stuck around and fought another massive war, they'd literally just finished slapping two races of gods and the Silent King decided that a better course would be to return autonomy to the people who could still think for themselves (essentially necrons that still have a mind of their own can now refuse orders from him), he'd leave the galaxy and explore while his people sleep
My favorite necron is anrakyr the traveler. He hops from tomb world to tomb world helping out other necron lords or to take revenge if the tombs were destroyed. And then he just goes to the next he’s also just a badass using one of the coolest weapons i’ve seen from the necrons its a special war scythe that is blue instead of green
You know it's gonna be a good day when this man Memes the Necrons midway into the video
God, the necron meme comp had my dying 😂
3:10 - From this very moment on, my esteemed one, I subscribed.
What can I say, I enjoy a good meme
I love trazyn, especially after reading the infinite and the divine. as for troops i love the idea of the hexmark destroyer, just a big dude with a shit ton of guns strapped to his body
Damnit, now I have to go through and freeze frame all those memes!
I love the mini of a Necron chugging a jerry can.
Always nice to hear um the words Hi I'm Arthur. Really enjoying your takes on WH40k.
On Necrons
The Necrons are one of the oddest cludges of lore in the setting, sorta terrifying but sorta a bit silly kinda with some goofy asthetics leftovers from the very early WH40k days and nerfed (though for good reason).
[Short(er) Version]
You could really look at the necrons story as the origin story of WH40k, it sets up many of the things that the current grim dark WH40k galaxy lore is built on. From entire factions, like the Eldar and the Orks devolved qworks, the webway, to lore like the emperor maybe fighting and imprisoning a shard of a c'tan on mars is the omnisor? Are black pylons necron tech to hold back the immaterium and deny chaos access to real space, while they sleep off the war in heaven and want their galaxy back. Black fortresses ... and maybe even the Tyranids etc
Plus the necros have some good characters, the silent king, trezen the infinite ... classes like those cursed ones, the flayed ones? WHAT could be more terrifying than an immortal robot with no feelings or emotions, you can't reason or negotiate with or really even kill made of a living metal with weapons that disintegrate you to atoms just slowly enough that you get to watch it happen
I KNOW all that, plus it's insane, psychotic and it's wearing the skin of the last guys he met, covered in blood n viscera and will not disintegrate you but try and slash you up, rip you apart and eat and skin you.
Yup a flayed one brings a knife to gun fight by choice!!! Grim f'ing Dark as f'
so this is the fourth video of yours that i have watched i can't shake the feeling that i have heard your voice. idk but i feel like i have heard you voice acting in horror series or something, maybe I'm just thinking it. but either way Arthur love your videos and i think you can do very good in reading a horror story or voice acting one
The Necrons are my favorite faction in all of 40k. Tyranids are a close second. I can’t wait to see more of the videos on the metal skelly bois.
s'tan, he says
Favorite Necron characters? Easy. Nemesor Szandrekh and Vargard Obyron. Funniest Necron? Easy: TRAZYYYN
The "Gods"/Old Ones didn't gave them anything; the Necrons are, as far as I know like the Humans and T'au, are a Species which weren't brought into the Galaxy by the Old Ones.
The whole issue with the Old Ones was the that they didn't gave them anything - the Necrons wanted to get rid of their special Cancer which followed them even on other Planets due to "nobody knows"; the old ones said "Hahaha, lol.". That's in addition to their pettiness which leads them to constant infighting was the reason for the war in heaven.
I'm on my 3rd day binge of ya channel man what a intro to watch when I'm finally running out of video
GLORY TO THE INFINITE EMPIRE
Obvious answer for best Necron: Trazyndiana Jones
Less obvious answer: Zultanekh, Crown Prince of the Ogdobekh Dynasty, the Copper Clad Chad himself
"Is Zultanekh the best necron character? Yes! I am"
"It belongs in [my] museum!"
AKA Trollzyn the Infinite
I do collect nekrons and run them as sautekh and the color scheme i like to use is a mix of Nemesos Zahndrekh and sautekh but with a bit more color because i think they look dapper in white gold and green.
Necrons have a potential to be absurdly cool, but are getting no love from GW. In my head canon every warrior is inside their head whoever they where before the transference, but unable to speak, understand what's going on and move witout an order. Imagine the horror - your a young mother, your child was born just few weeks before, but it's nowhere to be found and you can't look for it. Your body just moves on its own bringing you to the most hellish warzones imaginable. You feel pain (or you think it's pain) of getting your body blown up and rebuild constantly. Flayed ones are just like warriors but with autopilot turned off, that's whu they have the thing for flesh. They are bringing themselves to life in their minds.
You can literally say that about every faction that’s not space marines 😴… So frustrating
8:03 that’s one thing that annoyed me in the twice dead king, does chucking a rock at a tank work ? No sure a boulder will damage it but it won’t cause the ammunition to explode or the entire tank to go up in flames.
Depends on how hard you throw it
Silent king he won the war in heaven and his reaction to the tyranids made me laugh as a pyramid player the idea we are completely surrounded is glorious
The start has the best edit I have every seen
You do a great job, i really enjoy your presentations. Keep it up pal!
As with the Tyranid video, that opening whipped.
You're an amazing storyteller youve got perfect cadence and delivery now im waiting for an audiobook production
Meat Pocket dimension sounds just awesome really..
I will keep my powder dry on commenting here and wait for your Trazyn video. He is my favorite character in the entire setting.
The memes...brilliant
Get Necron'd
Ya know, the necrons and their technology just has to totally chap the mechanicums ass! "You mean to tell me you figured out how to replace YOUR ENTIRE BODY with metal.... 60 million years ago?.... are you kidding me?!?!". Like you know the mechanicum is just so jealous. Necrons make them look like children playing with that toy circuit board you could buy for kids back in the 80s.
4:59 phoggi :)

We're still waiting on that promised Pokemon Master Trazyn video 😂
They're plight is valid
I love that aspect of the Necrons.
Imperium pov: Abosulty nightmare fuel.
Necrons pov: 3:10
There is a more straightforward answer to the "Why did they go into the Great Sleep?" question. Essentially, the War In Heaven is what corrupted the Immaterium into the Warp as we know it now in lore, and that had disastrous effects on Real Space. For example: the Enslavers were a Warp based entitinty capable of pushing into Real Space by burning out a Psyker; since all the Old Ones' creations were Psykers, the Enslavers were a serious threat to anything alive.
Necrons, having no soul or living body, were unaffected by both of these problems side effects, but the destabilization between the Warp and Real Space was a problem. So the Necrons built their Dolmen Gates and Black Stone Monument to repair the border between spaces and, still recovering from the War In Heaven, went to the Great Sleep to wait out the destruction and repair time. Remember this: the loss of one Dolmen Gate at Cadia is what ripped open the Great Rift in the first place.
Yeah the (non-canon) ending of the Necron campaign in Battlefleet Gothic II has the Necrons activate the spires at Cadia and literally wipe away the entire Eye of Terror in an instant.
I like your videos, keep up my dude!
Then you play as the Necron in Dawn of War Soulstorm with the Apocalypse Mod and you're like "Eyy, these guys are pretty good!"
Comment from a Necron Meme video.
"It's funny how the most emotionless race in 40k have the funniest memes."
Solid video on the necrons
Trazyn is cool
There is another cool one. Can't remember his name though. He is this amazing general who has Necron Alzheimer's and still things he is a living flesh being. The dude still tries to eat and sleep. He even has food tasters to protect him against poision. Apparently he is such a good general that his team indulges him.
@@Overanalyse_This It's the "bodyguard" of Imotekh the storm lord, Vargard Obyron
@@DioDeezBrandono, it’s Nemesor Zahndrekh with his bodyguard Vargard Obyron. They’re both subordinate to Imotekh
@@akumaking1 ah myy bad
@@akumaking1 yeah it's that dude! I remember the name. And that he has this super deadly bodyguard that has his back.
Lol I’m throwing rocks at my buddy who plays Necrons next time we play. Thank you for this made my morning.
My favourite dynasty is novokh, I love their brutality in melee and their colour scheme is cool plus the history behind them and what they did recently with their lore is cool, but if I were to play necron I would play them as the destroyer cult army of renown: flayed ones, lokhust and skorpekh destroyers, I couldn't ask for anything else
I'll explain why the great sleep happened and why most of the strongest necron weapons were ordered destroyed by the Silent King just before the great sleep. Those weapons were so powerful, they tore holes through reality connecting the universe to another universe that is known today as the warp or sea of souls. The Necrons did this while trying to gain access to the webway where their enemies the Old Ones were hiding. In the process the Necron accidentally unleashed the Enslavers into the universe. And because the Necron were capable of time travel, the Silent King tried finding a time the Enslavers were gone and he found it 60 million years later also found the Eldar nearly ended themselves and so the decision of the great sleep was made and to prevent more accidental catastroph like the accidental Enslaver invasion, the Silent King ordered all the weapon that werre too powerful to be destroyed.
4 Ruffians break into my tomb world
Give me pariahs or get off my lawn. There is no other option
Hey Arthur! A guy I really like ClassicManD gave you a shout out in a short he made, got asked the question "Who are worst, Necrons or Terminators" so just wanted to say your videos are being used by content creators for research on the setting, I hope that makes you feel good bud ^.^
Robot space skellymen with vaguely spanish accents and internal politics reminiscent of Battletech’s Lyran Commonwealth. I love them.
The who-now? Did you say, the Sitan?
Rattle em, boys
You want to know about Eldar? The regular ones are space elves with magic, kinda boring. But the Dark Eldar will turn you into a living screaming in pain furniture or clothing.
I just got it c'tan sa'tan eats souls and enslaves

Me seeing my meme of skeletons becoming a 40K meme 🥹
My favourite's gotta be Nemesor Zandrekh. The dude is just so funny
Someone quick, link me as many of those necron memes as you were able to catch

You think that the Necron may get involved with Vashtorr or some point?
This is just based on the fact that Vashtorr looks like what I imagine a Necron god does.
I don't think they gonna trust gods again anytime soon 😅
True. But then again, Vashtorr doesn't seem to be into deception and the way he speaks and his contracts are written quite plainly. For daemons at least.
@@Overanalyse_This Necrons look for a way to seal off the warp entirely.
And vashtorr is a pure warp entity. Yeah no they´re more likely try to kick his head in than making a deal with
I myself am currently collecting necrons but havent jet got to play a singl game because I live in smoll town in germany
They remind me quite a bit of the Cybermen from Doctor Who.
Given how liberally GW has borrowed or been inspired and influenced by many many things from other settings ... that's not out of the question
Both robotic… that’s about it
The skeleton war
All alien species? I can't wait for Rak'Gol
, Q'orl, Yu'vath :-P
God I love this video
Favorite necron ? Easy it’s Steve the humain ! Walt my bad he ‘s no necron but a real humain being serving the Emperor 🤷♂️
Please make a video on Pirate King Thaszar The Invincible next.
3,000 subs.
3,000 more soon.
They are some silly kings fo sho.
megaspooky
My fav faction because we are the best
What was that remix of "Hey Ya"? It was pretty fun.
Skaven?
the "not" undead 40k
You know who else likes meat, Worldeaters.
Are there baby/kiddie Necrons or did they all just get put into full-size bodies?
Everyone was put into a full-sized body
Awe yeah
Can you source those pictures/gifs please?
Please make a Video about the memelord Trazyn the Infinite..😂
Necron are bullshit and I love them.
Are there Necrons fitted with red LEDs? That'd look way more bad ass than green or blue.
You could paint them red. Somebody painted the Silent King in Sith colors
Destroyers usually end up turning red. Or if they were a Red Marshall ( in which case they are most likely to go destroyer eventually)
Dude could you do Carcharadons Astra soon?
I thought they went to sleep because the Eldar and ancient orks were curb stomping them?
They went into stasis because after slaughtering the old ones and shattering the C’tan there wasn’t enough soul energy to run their equipment anymore. Eldar souls are eventually reborn and can’t be captured, and krork souls just went into the cloud that eventually fractured and became gork and mork and also couldn’t be used to fuel their technology, so they had to go to sleep and wait for useable souls to pop up.
It’s kind of like if we ran out of oil and then just went into stasis for 65 million years and waited for all the swamps and jungles of today to get trapped underground and compressed into oil so that way when we woke up again we’d have more gas for our cars.
Steve the Human?
first ff the necrons cant win. nids will overwhelm them with sheer numbers or chaos just invades in full force (in lore chaos has conquered entire realities nevermind a tiny galaxy)
You know nothing about necrons.
How do you say C'tan?
Had to go frame by frame to see all that. You’re not my favorite person right now.
Tau are Necrons ?
I am just not fan of new guns I prefer green transparent plastic
Playing Dawn of War: Sweet, space zombies!
Reading the lore: They wear...Egyptian garb? Fuckin' NERDS!
The pyramids are sick, don't get me wrong but once you get into the Egyptian cosplay worthy of a night in Las Vegas in their choice of casino, that's when it gets kinda...silly. The cults are cool though, in a Cyberpunk kinda way. Flayed Ones vs Night Lord warband would be really cool tho
Why do you have too say im aurthur like a creep
