warhammer necrons 40k lore - Ігри
Let’s not forget the necrons can wipe out entire sections of the galaxy instantly just by touching a screen and are petty enough to actually use it if they get backed into a corner
Celestial Orerry
Me someone extremely clumsy: OOPS I just wiped out 90% of all life sorry guys
@@AbhisarRawat didn't someone try to steal that
I suppose, but they’ll have to go through an entire powerful Dynasty dedicated to defending it, and deal with the fact that they’ve “disrupted the forces of creation” (probably fancy words for tearing the fabric of all reality-remember Breath of God?) which they likely won’t survive themselves.
Using the term "Necrons" to say this is wrong. One of the dynasties has control over Orrey, not all. And this particular dynasty doesn't use it except in extreme cases to preserve the continuity of things, life, the galaxy, etc... So they're much more likely to use Orrey on Tyranids than on another faction.
They clearly own an air fryer.
Even the greatest mek cannot replicate such technology
DAT WUD BE GRATE FOR DA CHIKKIN WINGZ!!!
They invented the air fryer
The Mechanicus have toasters, but the Necrons own the air fryer.
Necrons before using the Celestial Orrery: are we really going to wipe out every race in this galaxy just because we can?
Trazyn: at least give me some time collecting their relics first
The Oruscar Lychguards: 💀
That thing is grimderp. Something your little brother come up with to win the game.
@@HandsomeLad69 Indeed which is why they had to make the necron dynasty that own it super schizo about making sure it is never used for anything.
@@HandsomeLad69 lol seriously “no actually I dodged it because I have a super shield that also insta kills you haha”
Blood Ravens: "Unless we still it first"
Let's be honest. Tryzen is the REAL winner here. No matter who wins, he gets a field of relics and pokemons.
If anything he probably play a bigger role in stories to combat the forces of chaos and Tyranids.
This is a fair evaluation, even with the Celestial Orrery. Remember, their most powerful weapons are divided and separated, and specifically with the Orerry, it’s true military purpose is for info gathering. Using it as a weapon, “upsets the fundamental forces of Creation, setting off a catastrophic chain reaction”. Because I’m certain they’d be playing pong with people’s planets otherwise, and the Dynasty defending it will fight to the last one standing-possibly even if it meant destruction of their entire race. Because when even Necrons won’t deliberately use a weapon because of some unforeseen consequences, it’s probably because *even their permanent death is preferable*
What's actually depressing about that fact is they destroyed even more powerful weapons that thing being that dangerous was considered safe enough to let be
@@THEdeadlynightshade1646 I imagine while deciding what weapons to destroy and what to keep a Necron warehouse manager with a clipboard was like:
Device that can wipe out anything in the galaxy at the wielder's will with a single touch. SAFE
@@TheReal_Antrey "Next, a weapon that can destroy anything in the entire galaxy at the wielders will without a touch."
"This is the 5th universe destroying weapon this morning. Come on, guys!"
Damn I failed to crush my score of planet pong,fuckin didn't update my Orerry bits to ensure I wouldn't lose a world!!! Damn it trazyn!!!
Which is funny considering the Necrons have even dabbled in time-travel to fix problems but that has also bit them in the ass.
Pretty sure there is a sect of Necrons dedicated to actually making sure they DON'T obliterate themselves via a Time Paradox.
They can time travel
They have anti-warp weapons
They have weapons that are capable to destroying sections of the galaxy
And they can recover weapons that are even stronger than the celestal Orerry
Their main problem is the tyranids
Which just so happens to be the one thing preventing them from splitting. The silent king used a similarly powerful enemy force to prevent fracture during the war in heaven so it makes sense they could just do it again
I’ve never understood why the tyrannids are a threat to the necrons. It’s not like they are biological so the tyrannids would gain nothing from consuming them, nor are the necrons competing against them by consuming any biological resources themselves.
Why would they even fight?
@@FrankAaron because the necrons don't want to kill everything like the other races do. The necrons want to get their old bodies back and rule over everyone else.
They can't do that with the tyranid threat still in existence.
@@FrankAaron necrons want to kill life for the most part but I don’t think they would fight much either way at least until evryone else is gone
And the fact that there is no new birth. Yes Necrons regen, but for any who REALLY die, that dude is gone. Every other races is able to give birth to new soldiers
And that's exactly why I run necrons, and anything that has a chance to rise up after being gunned down, blown up or shredded is a army to worry about
I think 1 guard player cheated against me and not using his command pts or not letting me know how he rerolls 1s twice on plasmas and regular range weapons. I swear cadians never had rules for half their units to have plasma guns, only 2 special weapons or so.
@@Yroko sounds like it really, I always make sure my opponent sees my rolls by rolling in a custom box i made out of some resin sheets i had lying around. I ask my opponent to roll into it and tell them if I don't see it, then it doesn't count and I extend the same rule to them to make sure everything is as fair as possible. Unfortunately cp is something that they can make up if you don't have any idea about what they started with, or how much their tactics cost.
@@mr.graves2867 i saw his rolls, he kept saying using command this or that to reroll. I understand guard basic troops cause so little and u can field quite a lot but god damn, it was sketchy af.
@@Yroko yeah I can't stand shifty players takes all the fun out of it unless of course you scrap their whole army, then they just suck more than anything and even cheating doesn't help them lol 😆
@@Yroko for simplicity’s sake, keep this in mind: you can NEVER reroll a dice twice. The rulebook explicitly says that, so no matter what your opponent says, they’ve been overruled. Even if you know absolutely nothing about the other army, if someone comes along and says they can do that, they’re full of sh*t.
The necrons before making Sol go supernova and killing the emperor: Parry this you fucking casual.
Emperor: *Resurrects*
@@oblivion9619he can but that’s gonna take some time
@@Randomdude.74 Indeed was the point of that comment. As long as his soul is free from the body, he coming back.
@@oblivion9619 indeed. Wait so by keeping the emperor as he is, (on the golden throne) their preventing him from coming back good as knew?
@@Randomdude.74 Pretty much. Though not sure if the information is still canon.
If the necrons actualy saw a threat in any of the other factions they would unit whip them out no problem and go back to beying pety.
Having soldiers with the ability to undeath themselves and a map that can delete your entire planet helps a little bit.
****Solar system****
I would put it at 90% with all their actual weapons, they have literal pylons that can destroy the eye of terror and a literal insta kill button for basically the galaxy. The only way I can see them winning is that their own rivalry’s destroy their most powerful tools
Indeed, they can easily beat the Tyranids singlehandedly, they might have destroyed 90% super weapons after the War on Heaven they might have the blueprints to rebuild it.
100%*
@@johnclement189 they can build it but first they need to figure a way to get flesh bodies again
But yall gotta remember that the correct necron numbers across the galaxy will be the only necron numbers across the galaxy, necrons have no way of actually rebuilding these massive and powerful machines, even the basic soilders cant be remade, if a necron is permanently destroyed then it's a permanent hit to necron numbers, sure they are powerful and deadly but they cant replenishes their army
Also with that whole "galaxy destroying thing" the dynasty that currently in position of the weapon will never use it for death and destruction, it was first off made for the ability of research. I'm pretty sure the dynasty currently holding onto it would fight to the very last to make sure no one ever uses it for destruction
@@cocaine7371 why tho? As robots they are immune to the warp and cannot feel the pain that many other races love to inflict, and they don't have a soul but are still conscius, wich again, means they are hardly affected by soul-snatching demons. beeing made of flesh sounds like a disadvantage at that point
I would like to remind all that the technology of the War in Heaven was locked away and sealed under order of the Silent King when they took to rest.
If the SK gets pissed enough, he's gonna curb-stomp the Tyranids.
Wiping out a hive fleet will only prompt a larger hive fleet. Necron op weapons are just fancy delay tactics to their inevitable demise by the mutligalactic tyranids
They are the only other race that could do it as they have already done so on the past. Eldar did too but they shared it with humanity when humanity was at its zenith
Listen to or read every damn Necron book you can, this is the only way you can really appreciate how ridiculously fucking stupidly overpowered these things truly are...
If let's say the silent king would return hell bent on purging the galaxy of life, there's not even a single slightest chance that anything or anyone can would stop them...
There weakness is clearly fighting amongst themselves and divided.. if they were united under one banner then they would clearly take over the galaxy in a matter of minutes
@@shawnmelchortrondillo7837 yupp, as far as I'm aware there is currently nothing in the galaxy that would or could stop them, tyranids and daemons included.
@@Rylonim you're wrong about the Tyranids, the silent king returned from his exile literally horrified to see the Tyranids arriving in the galaxy, the hive fleets in the galaxy are supposed to be the tip of the iceberg, whatever that he has seen is much larger than the necronic race.
@@ymorp9612 read more Necron books, that's all I have to say.
@Tachyon Sagittarius Well, the Necrons are the bane of the Tyranids but just for now, how should you already know the goal of the Necrons (besides retaking their old territory) is to get back a material body or to get a soul again basically.
How You Should Also Know: The hive mind is a supremely intelligent entity, so it must most likely be aware of this and logically the numbers of the Necrons they are limited since they cannot reproduce, a species without reproduction is doomed to die, so the hive mind may contemplate the possibility that at some point they will return to resort to an organic body and when they do they will only be one more prey, although this is speculation probably the Tyranids are playing the long term with the Necrons and in case it is not well, it will still happen, since having an organic body is one of the goals of the Necrons.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the Eldar craftworld and I love the Necrons too but you have to accept that the Tyranids are the biggest danger to the entire galaxy, If with the simple explorers everyone is having problems, imagine when the true Tyranid arm arrives in the galaxy with all its power, we only know the tip of the iceberg and if it is true that that they have already devoured other galaxies that means that they must already have some strategy against non-organic threats, at the end of the day it is most likely that the hive mind has already moved all the chips to win the game.
I actually would put my points in Imotekh. I think he has the biggest chance to reunite the Necron race and reconquer the stars. He has the ambition, the respect (or fear) of the other dinasties and the will to defie the Szarekh's rule
"Ooyyy skeleton boi!!! I hearz you some tough clankers!"
- Orks challenging this assumption
"Angry chittering"
- Tyranid hive swarms
NOW YOU'Z FINKIN' LOIK A PROPPA ORK!!! WE'LL SHOW DA SKULLY WE'Z DA BESTEST!!!
Necrons (robot-ly): haha æonic orb goes (sound of an entire solar system being disintegrated)
Could the human federation come back somehow from a lost colony.
Every one in the galaxy: why do I hear boss music
Nids: what that strange metal noise
The Emperor: oh crap
No the imperium of man has adoctrinated the human population to the point they see the emperor as a good but even If they could somehow come back and regain places like Terra they would be really weak like they would end up weaker than when the hours heresy happened like waaayyy weaker
Honestly? It would be interesting, but ultimately useless from a lore perspective with how messed up the lore is at the moment.
If remains of the Federation were found pre-Horus Heresy? I wouldn't be too shocked if they were worked into the Terminus Decree as a backup government or human holdout to keep the species going for a 'short' time while some kind of endgame project the Decree actually sets in motion.
Although I do see a possible chance of the Imperium stabilising into something closer to the Federation in the 51st Millennium, if Chaos is ever actually contained or preferably the Chaos Gods having their influence curtailed drastically.
The Leagues of Votann will stand over the husks and corpses of the fallen and corrupted cabals! Glory to the Squats!
Kinda getting tired of GW's scapegoat of "they are the bestest and strongerest and most numerousest but they don't insta win because uhhhhhhhh infighting yeah that works"
Fucking hire some god damn writers or something, Jesus
Well there is also the fact that each permanent loss is a big loss
Since at the moment necrons cant create new weapons and warriors
@@thechadyboi6691 The same goes for the Imperium though. They can't make anymore of their Emperor class battleships they love to suicide into the enemy, and a lot of their tech they don't know how to make it anymore.
@@Mechagodzilla128 yeah true
But you still have bilions spin zillions of new troops being made along with dreadknots
Knights
Tanks
Basically most things nowadays are able to be recreated
I mean….GW can always outsource WH40k books regarding Necrons.
Thing is, that is literally a thing that has happened in real life, Rome, China, The mongols, the British empire all grew so powerful they started to collapse under their own size
Fallen empires in Stellaris be like:
What I love is how every faction has some sort of fighting chance.
The necrons can also do a bunch of stuff that makes you wonder if they were made by little kids. I can imagine it going like this:
“The demons can never truly die and there will always be an infinite amount of them”
“Well, yeah? The necrons can now close the eye of terror”
“No they can’t!”
“Yes they can! And also they can control the entire galaxy if they wanted to”
“Your cheating, I’m not going to play with you anymore”
Well they also just return to their repare crypts when they die so they're effectively immortal anyways
It's all fun and games until Trazin tosses the Pokeballs
Trazyn actually does get his assed kicked quite often. I've just finished the Infinite and the Divine and there's plenty of dude who can match Trazyn.
Not to mention, they have no biomass, therefore the nids can't chomp on them.
Holy shit that necron just face slamming that blood letter lmao
The tyranids also dont mess with them due to being inorganic
It's unknown how many Tyranids there are. Let that sink in
Tbh, the Silent King has already emphasized the importance of dealing with the Tyranids. He has opened alliances with the Imperium to deal with both them and Chaos.
They are in no rush like everyone else is. So they are focusing on shit that NEEDS to be done before they decide it is time to move against everyone else
They’re also insurmountably petty, fighting over 60 million year old grudges and perceived insults. If they ever actually came together under one banner/leader, there’d basically be nothing to stop them.
The Tau empire are probably like a blip or a pin prick on the celestial equirry
If the guy guarding the thing mistook them for a smudge on the map, and took some kleenex to the screen, there goes the greater good.
Well, at least there will be the farsight enclaves.
It's either the necron or the Tyranid who will dominate the galaxy in the end. Chaos is powerful, but I don't think they could beat either of two. Chaos is third though. The orks lack coordination or they'd be up there with the necron and Tyranid. The Eldar are dying and would probably go extinct if the other races didn't exist. Ok maybe not, but their a long shot. The only way I'd give them a decent chance is if the dark Eldar fully embraced chaos and then shared in the victory of chaos. That's not likely from what I understand, but it is a way. The tau are far too few. Their only hope would be to ally themselves with some other power. The imperium would only win if the emperor returned. Otherwise they have a worse chance then chaos.
If the imperium finely does break apart, I'd love to see an alliance form (partly out of desperation and shared goals) between the salamanders chapter, several imperial worlds, a legio of titans and mechanicus, an imperial knight house, the farsight enclave, and an Eldar craft world or splinter group. An unlikely alliance, but theoretically possible. Humans have already joined the tau and it is possible that a minor Eldar faction would join as well. Space marines would only do so if the imperium was disbanded and the salamanders chapter is the most likely to put aside prejudice for the greater good. The titans and knights might just be wishful thinking, but if vulcan returned and was leading the alliance, then he could pull enough weight to convince some more imperial forces to join.
It's an impossible dream even outside of the lore as it would clearly be a faction made up of good guys which is impossible if the 40k universe. I still hope though as the salamanders and farsight enclave do exist.
The alliance would have tremendous versatility. They'd probably be even fewer in number than the tau empire, but combining the knowledge of the Eldar, the ingenuity of the tau, and the war capabilities of the imperium (not to mention a primarch) would be formidable.
The adeptus mechanicus, tau, Eldar, and vulcan could produce weapons of war that would impress even the necrons.
You forget Orks
They get stronger and stronger the longer there is war in galaxy. In the end we can have ONLY infinitely power scaling Orks vs Tyranids in the entire galaxy.... That is indeed sad end and I would love to see ANY other faction take over, but orks have a good chance in 10-20k years
WOT YOU MEAN NO KORD NASHUN!?! GIV ME ONE AN I'LL CLOBBA YA 'EAD WIF IT!!!
@@redclayscholar620 my ogresque green fungus, your prouesse is not to be questioned. I merely doubt your ability to delay the gratification, brought on by the conflict, long enough for you to withhold fighting your own kind. Surely the possibility of a warboss great enough to unite all the orks does exist; however, though it be heretical to say it, such a beast would need to rival the immortal emperor of mankind himself. The monster would be a reincarnation of gork, or perhaps mork. I never really understood the pantheon of your kind. Regardless, it would take such a being, capable of ruling all of green-skin kind, to wrangle them towards a common goal.
It may even be poetic for the ork to be the ones who save the Galaxy from the Tyranid and necron as it was your kind who defeated such galactic threats in the past.
Would that the emperor could manifest himself to the orks as gork and Mork to lead them in such a cause while humanity remained safe behind the green-skin tide.
@@lorddenithal EEEHM... FANKS I REKKUN!?!
MOUFFY GIT INNE?
@@magearamil8626 literally the second sentence
The Infinite Empire had 1 BILLION WORLDS id say we have a lot of crons to root for
Once again we will rule supreme!
Wrong faction, Kriegsman.
just make the collector collect all the universe boom instant win
I’m new to warhammer 40K and the necrons are easily my favourite race so far
Hail to the Infinite Empire!
If the Necrons wanted to they could easily just dominate the known universe. But I would like to think they’re bored and realize the only worthy opponent is themselves. Classic Necrons.
I think thats orks. Necrons wanta people off their lawns and reclaim their lost empires. With the tyrannids they need allies to fight them off
It's more like the necrons know the galaxy is theirs and are lazy to take it back.
@@Yroko they really dont
@@crim1188 yes, necrons are slowly activing from the sleep protocols. Orks if they had the proper mindset would rule the galaxy. The 2 races would need to work together to beat back the tyranids. Or any 2-3 races aside from dark elves and chaos
Time is on their side....and they're going to have their fun along the way...this isn't the heresy. The SK ISN'T the Emperor...
Tyrannids: *hungry bug noises*
Necrons: lmao bug virus go brrr
Make it 100% they literally have a map that destroys Star systems with just a touch of a finger. Similar to a child playing with an IPad for the first time.
And yet the dynasty in control of the map would never use it, they would honestly fall and die before letting anyone use it for destruction
Cause why would they use a map that can disrupt the very essence of creation?
@@thechadyboi6691 they dont need to, you forgot about deathmark? They can literally phase thro other reality and show up right beside HighLords of Terra and kill them all if Others dynasties want to.
Also yeah the Celestial orrery can see real time and future
I mean the football controls all nukes but it’s not like everyone in the USA has access to it
@@thechadyboi6691 they would use it when they're losing cause fk em the other races of course.
The Celestial Orrery is the most powerful weapon we KNOW OF. The mindfuckingly incomprehensible technological annihilation engines they deployed during the War in Heaven make the Orrery *look* like an iPad game you'd give to a toddler.
Two words:
*Celestial Orrery*
TREE WURDZ: *WAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGHH*
the only disadvantage that necrons have is that they have a finite numbers of themselves left. like if a necron were ever to be dead (dead as in deader than dead) somehow, that guy is fuckin gone there's no necron factory producing these dudes.
also some other niche problems like their starships are so advanced that they wound up becoming useless due to their star-destroying laser beam resistant shields not being able to repel simple things like missile from an imperial ship.
My money is on Szerakh coming back, uniting the necrons once again, and entering a tenuous alliance with the Imperium to repel the Tyrannids. Or at least that’s my hope for the novels.
I give them 90% the 10% left is their decision of not using the Celestial Orrarary machine to decimate everyone at once.
I love how the Necrons could in theory just activate a bunch of these pylons that seemingly are capable severing the Warp from Real Space completely.
Is that even possible?
@@christopherholmes7324Technically there are 3 ways the Necrons could win.
1. They use the Celestial Orrary, which is a giant stellar map that knows every single stars location within the Milky way and can blow it up.
2. If all the dynasty's got together and reforged the black pylons and activate them they would essientially tear the Warp out from real space as the black pylons naturally repel the Warp.
3. If the necrons tried to recreate Enuncia the language of Creation itself.
The thing with Necrons, is that they don't only want to conquest the Galaxy. They want their physical bodies and souls back.
If they manage to do so, they will became a relatively more easy target to the Chaos and to any other faction in general. And even if they didn't manage to do so, that's mean they are in direct competition with the Tyranids for the biomass. And the Tyranids have way more biomass reserves, inside but also outside the Galaxy.
So, even if the Necrons still are one of the factions with the best chance of victory, I'd wont put them at 60%, more like 30%. Because, their goal itself implies to put them in vulnerability situation.
(Also I think that if the Hive Mind really wanted to do so, they could destroy the Necrons by concentrating all their force on the tumb world. However, it would be suicidal to loose such biomass on the only faction who don't give them direct biomass gain ; and in add it would put the Tyranids in a weak situation against any other coordinate faction)
Keep the 40k coming 💖
I'd say the imperial guard has the highest chance of survival so long as trazyn is alive, man's got at minimum one guardsman from every regiment ever
Terranids, necrons, orks is just a food for Uncle Nurgle Plague
Ohh really? Cuz last time Hive Fleet Kronos (which is Splinter Fleet) Absolutely Decimate all the daemons and Imperium Remaining Army on Shadow Brink, they adapt and completely immune from nurgle plagues
The flayer virus : 🗿🍷
That photo of the battle you can see a necron grab a dæmon by the head
If the necrons would stop fighting each other they would have a bigger chance from 60%
They also have the benefit of the Tyranids avoiding them due to lack of biomass. Though ultimately if they want to return to fleshy forms and not have every planet bled dry they'll have to deal with them.
they could always go back to bed an wait this current hiccup of chaos out
Me as Necron. Press every planets in the galactic map and blow them up.
Everyone going on about the Celestial Orrery like it hasn’t been mentioned a billion fucking times. There are so many other interesting things the Necrons have yet they always go to that one thing.
Weapon that use Living energy of the universe to completely kill Ctan ( absolutely dead not shattered no 2nd chance good bye ) and there all sort Ancient weapons they dont mention
Since the return of the Silent King Necron technology seem to be making a jump such as the black stone null resonators in the Indomitus book.
Literally anybody in the 40k universe: We have come to conquer this world!
Necrons: GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR LAWN!!
Seems like the Necrons should have had a group to work on maintenence of their tombs
The Necrons seem the most likely to dominate the galaxy, a lot of them seem like they just want to nap though.
Necron don't even have to worry about Tyranid either, because they're inorganic for one and they have vaporizers so... I don't think they're challenged by a whole lot
The greatest treat to the necrons are the mecanicum, not because they are superior or any way, but they might do some really weird stuff to them
Silent king: activates his command protocols
Every other dinasti: what are your orders my king?
Tyranids next please :)
I think they have no chance against the tyranids. Humanity would give them one hell of a fight. And once they started going at it we would see the orcs multiply. Cause they attraced to violence like a moth to the flame.
Honestly with the new black crusade and the return of Papa Smurf. I am suprised the orks have not gone off the chain diving into the fighting like a fat man biting into a freshly delivered pizza.
Yes. Skelebois
silent king seems to be more focused on taking care of the threats that are tyranids and the chaos and once thats done he will likely consider galaxy domination.
which is pretty smart on his part and will for now at least create somewhat co-operative conditions.
I would love to see alternative series where a horse never betrayed the emperor That ends with the imperiam tau and eldar at war with the a unified necron race.
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?
Super Mcguffins aside, I seem to remember the 'Crons have had a bump down in relative power in the lore - I'm pretty sure a few editions ago there was a story of a couple of Necron light cruisers landing on Mars and giving zero f*cks at bring shot at by the Solar Fleet on the way there & back.
Another problem is that, once you successfully kill one, they cannot make another.
I LOVE THE NECRONS. I think if they pull their heads out of their asses, they could EASILY be the empires great ally/frienemy
They were here long before us. They will be here long, long after
Well, according to the short novel "Severed(2019)", necrons body is immortal but their mind is not. So, Szarekh is planning to upload necrons mind to humans
*IF* the Necrons' lords had a reason to team up, they yes (with Tyranids and Orks being their biggest rivals, closely followed by a unified Imperium).
in the words of a certain, sassy robot "It's high. Very high."
Short answer, no.
Short reason: Tyrannids.
At least until the nids learn to eat them, then their chances drop.
When nids first arrived they couldnt eat metal, but they encounted an animal that could, ate it and now can do so as well.
Tyranids watching this shorts: **angry gestalt sounds**
In 40k, a 60% chance of total victory is pretty much as close to 100% as anyone has ever gotten
And yet despise has the most technical advantages and superior number, one Necron planet were defeated by A SING SHIP of crazies adeptus mechanicus with a small number of armies
Yes the necrons enjoy quite a bit of an advantage but they also suffer huge disadvantages as well much like they're permanent deaths in dynasties fighting amongst each other and the fact that they can't truly unify
Nah trazyn would stop them so that he could have all species for his collection
I'm not sure I'd really want them to win, even if just because it means putting the galaxy back in the hands of the guys who already had it, once.
Just kind of a return to the status quo, when breaking from the default is what usually makes for more compelling stories.
at least, they not have to worry about getting eat alive or get torture until they lost sanity or get mutate into disgusting monster.
So basically, the necrons are kinda like saitama where they could just annihilate everything but just don't because reasons
If they're immune to the Warp, how did they lose to the Eldar and the Kork who weaponize the very energies of the immaterium?
They’re immune to warp corruption, just the warp being utilized as a fireball
Wraith-bones That why and also they lost majority of their army cuz fighting the Ctans while in the middle of war againts the Krork and Eldari
A (really) dead necron can not be replaced afaik. Also I do think they can not reproduce. Sorry if I missed something, but this would mean two things: They are not living regarding the common definition of life, also they already lost unless they can reestablish rather sooner than later. In the current state I see 20% chance to do so despite their tech just because their dominion is scattered into pieces.
I got one thing to say,there is no shelter for those Who oppose the Imperium of man.
Excluding trayzn the infinite, can sentient necron leaders be killed? Would that mean that the necrons Achilles heel be that while their leaders are immortal, they are not invulnerable- and each loss is irreplaceable as they replace their officer losses compared to something like the imperium of man which is pumping out people like a bread factory
Yes, and even Trazyn can be killed, it’s just near impossible.
Every single Necron lost is a Necron that can never be replaced, even the lowly warriors
I think it'd be cool if the Necrons and Eldar got over their hatred to actually come together and sweep the galaxy. It'd never happen in canon at all because both sides are too prideful, but damn would it be a fun concept
Necron would blast anything related to the Old ones
Don't forget they also have the flayer virus
They are actually could be affected by the the warp that's why they build the pylon in the first place.
They had weapons they used to kill gods, I think if they were to decide to use those none of the others would stand a chance
Still the Orks will upgrade to Krorks at some point in the battle and they pretty much grow by spores so it's hard to get rid of them
I may be wrong, but doesn’t the fact that they can’t reproduce mixed with the fact that many are degrading mentally mean they can’t win? I always got the impression that once the last necron wakes up it can only go down hill from there. Sure they can come back from most damage but it doesn’t mean they can’t die, couple that with the fact that one the upper tier seem sentient and it just seems like they’re on borrowed time
They have the highest level of technology in the galaxy, and they just slept for a couple dozen million years if I remember it correctly, so if the Necrons truly live on borrowed time then they should still have several million years to fix the problem, it's not that big of a deal to them as most people seem to think.
The winners will be either the Necrons, or the Tyranids. The Tyranids are seemingly without number, a horrifying hive mind of relentless drive and unshakable focus. Or the Necrons, the most technologically advanced race in the galaxy. Immortal, relentless, capable of closing even the eye of terror itself.
Even smaller scale stuff, other races killing and fighting orcs only make more and stronger ork. But the necrons guns disintegrate the whole orc, spores included. So they can't recuperate their loses like against other races
You forgot to mention that, in relation to the Tyranids, they have no biomass, and their weapons deconstruct matter to an atomic level, rendering fallen tyranids as unable to be reabsorbed by the hive to make more
forgot? or needed to streamline my point so it fit into a 60 second video
@@TemplinDirect that was more important than some of the stuff u said.
I might be wrong but I don't think there are enough of them
