    I had a 1200 point match against a demon player, and he dropped a khorne demon prince right behind me, and I ended up charging a group of ten necrons at it. He laughed, saying that squad is going to die as soon as it's his turn to attack back.
    However, that squad of 10 were lychguard with warscythes.
    The demon prince didn't survive the first flurry of melee attacks. His response was "I didn't know necrons could melee."

    The way you described the Praetorians, and the fact they're the ones holding power even ABOVE the Overlords makes me think of them as Necron babysitters.
    Overlord: "But I WANNA use my biggest toys!"
    Praetorian: "NO! The opponent was deemed honorable! You will use what I allow you to, and nothing else!"

    One thing about the common warriors; They are deemed as "expendable" yes, but only when their uplink to their refineries are intact. For example in the silent king, when trazyn and orikan are fighting in the cave, the uplink is severed due to them fighting inside the core of the world, and thus any warrior killed there will never "reincarnate". Because of this, the praetorians (if I remember correctly) even punished them, because due to their infighting, several necrontyr "souls" were lost permanently. Other than that, great video, and I loved the voice acting in this one!

      Many c'tan indulged in cannibalism, gaining their power and the aspect of the universe they represented. The reason so few were left by the end of the War in Heaven is because those that remained consumed so many of their peers. It's part of why the aeldari couldn't destroy the void dragon, and why The Outsider went insane.

    For those confused with the position of praetorians, since they can virtually do whatever they want outside their main responsabilities and override an overlord, is that historically they were not members of royalty, just direct servants of the silent king. So by tradition, they cannot be considered royalty, but since their role is so critical in ensuring the preservation of their culture and making sure the programming of each dynasty is not dysfunctional enough to outright betray the king, they have a lot of defacto authority.

I do not know how canonical the second one is, but it does imply that Deathmarks have their own code of conduct separate from everything else. Hence, if the series is canon, they are fully sentient, just obide by the code of conduct they have + regular necron stuff.
      That being said I do agree that they left a certain "bad taste" for the royals and are used not as much, and are given even less respect due to their fighting style being "dishonorable".

      Nope, they're entirely different entities and types of creature.
      The Chaos God's are entities of warp energy formed by synchronised warp energy on a massive scale, akin to a sentient singularity in the warp.
      The C'tan are originally just a type of regular xenos that "ascended" to an alternate form of "Godhood" through the sheer amount of energy they contain.
      Originally a wandering gas cloud with the relative absorption power of a Dyson sphere equivalent, the neurons decided to harness this as a weapon and they went rogue, and we all know how that went.
