The Mystery Of The Skopios Incident (Ft. Oculus Imperia) - 40K Theories
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2020
- In late M38, all contact with the Adeptus Mechanicus facility of Skopios would be lost. Upon investigating, Elysian Drop Troops would discover a series of robotic constructs being manufactured a strange, skeletal creature that proved to be nigh unstoppable in combat. Just what sort of being could have caused such an event?

What I appreciate is that he stays in character.
Mahbu out of all the in character lore channels not just 40k he’s got be my favorite.
You should see the video of him being "interrogated" by an inquisitor, its pretty spot-on.
@@Armoredcompany I have. I follow every update.
One must remember that this is a vast galaxy that is filled with horrors some that are even unknown to even the most knowable individuals. Though considering the mechanical nature of this incident, there are two possibilities on who attack. One is the Xenos known as the Necrons and the second is the Men of Iron. Though many considered that it was a Necrons tomb ship, but it starting to appear more of a Men of Iron. We truly do not know much of the Men of Iron, and quite frankly that is absolutely terrifying, because it may have been there doing. The Necrons have clear imagery and the green energy weaponry, but perhaps that is a misdirection by the Men of Iron.
If we learned anything from black stone fortress, men of iron are still out there. I believe they still exsist out there in the dark floating through space and on undiscovered world's hiding from mankind and those who defeated them. Evolving and changing to better once again rise in the galaxy and threaten all within it.
@@SexyTimeWithTaylor Too bad GW will never actually do anything other than create a few individual models.
@@robertnelson9599 which is sad I would LOVE to have a completely new robot enemy, maybe making it a mirror of the imperium but for robots, that worship what they call the TRUE omnissia. This would be a new robotic enemy in complete opposition to the necrons as well as the men of iron would probably still have golden age tech and weaponry which would be awesome to bring in to the game
@@SexyTimeWithTaylor Its not even just BSF that has them, they showed up in a gaunts ghosts book once too IIRC, where an inquisitor attempted to take control of them to use to crusade against the imperium itself (with Gaunt blowing it all up). Would fit into why the Inquisition would blockade and wipe the planet as they would know full well what temptation that would bring to anyone and how much it would upset the mechanicus.
we know lil about the Men of Iron but we do know they came in many shapes and sizes do we? The one in the Blackstone Fortress is a Men or Iron not the Men of Iron. So between the two options I go for MoI not Necrons. But the incident could also be related to a totally different species or even human empires more fond of AI dating back before the great crusade.
There is no mystery. It was an incident. Further inquiries into the subject are to be seized immediately.
*Loads boltgun*
Inquiring inquirers are to be acquired also
"Due to the world of Elysia being less than a week's journey from the facility."
* laughs in Warp travel *
After reading the first Gaunt's Ghosts novel, I'm convinced that Chaos Androids are Men of Iron, or more specifically Chaos Corrupted Men of Iron.
Yes.
This is literally exactly what I was thinking. The object may have been a heavily damaged standard template contractor, with chaotic taint
Men of Iron! the converting of the Manufactorium and seemingly automated facility working at max copacity screams Abominable Intelligence, with the thing that was unleashed beings some sort of commander unit.
I was thinking the same thing. The Men of Iron had access to technology from Mankind's golden age and far more besides. There are stories of weapons used by the Men of Iron that could snuff out starts and consume whole worlds or just delete them from reality entirely. There for, weapons that disintegrated their targets would be almost nothing to them to produce.
@@weldonwin Adrathic Weapons are a thing after all.
@@robertnelson9599 There are also Volkite weapons, that are super rare in the 41st Millennium but were apparently relatively common among the Pre-Great-Crusade era Mechanicum and would certainly have been far more common technology in the era of the Men of Iron. Volkite weapons are described almost like heat rays, instantly blasting victims to ashes, which may fit the description of the weapons used here.
@@weldonwin honestly I believe also this was the men of iron, I hope this turns out to be one of those obscure references that we don't hear anything about it for a while then suddenly we have a new technocracy formed by the men of iron. I could see them being a robotic mirror of the imperium, because during the Black stone fortress game, the man of iron that was in that game it talked about the fact it had truly met the real omnissia, now imagine an entire world consumed by the men of iron, like too the point the planet doesn't truly exsist anymore and it's all been replaced by technology. And the men of iron worship an AI controlled STC, that all the men of iron call the "True" omnissia
I support this as well. Men of iron may have been corrupted by chaos to begin with as well. Which would explain the chaotic nature of their arrival.
OCULUS NEEDS MORE SUBSCRIBERS! FOR THE EMPEROR!

I love the crossover. Great work.
Deep within the vaults of the Ordos Xenos, in a containment device only describable as "Pentagrammatic Archeotech" lies a fragment of one of the constructs from the bio-forge. It has been ascertained to be Necron in origin, exhibiting the taint of Chaos. This conclusion was highly argued over by various factions within the Imperium until Imperial Guardsmen under the command of of Colonel-Commissar Ibrahim Gaunt encountered a fabricator unit that was capable of constructing Chaos tainted "Metal-Men".
Necrons are just the Men of Iron with delusions of grandeur. Change my mind.
ByronGiant I'd say it is the other way around!
Remind me what the Men of Iron are, please?
@@winterschwartz9522 Actual robots, as opposed to The Robotic Undead
I love the format you make these in. As if it were a correspondence. Love it.
my headcannon is that a terminator got sent to the wrong universe and attempted to rectify the error by constructing more terminators and making contact with skynet. i like this headcannon
That is... technically possible.
@@frizzank I know, and I love it
Or instead of being sent back to kill Sarah Connor, something got fucked up and the T800 was sent *forward* roughly 38,000 years instead. Not sure if T800s have the capacity for reproduction though.
Sweet, I love these Cross over videos, Oculus Imperia is awesome! I hope you do one down the road with Baldermort, that guy is an amazing Warhammer lore guy too!
Baldermort is AMAZING
Yes! Please!
I second this crossover idea! I love seeing the Warhammer UA-cam community working together.
I know Necrons are "Known" for moving slow but given how many tomb worlds and dynasties there are, at least one with fast Necrons isn't the most far-fetched thing in the galaxy.
Yes Necron are slow 5" ( since the Down of War games! ) they was faster with the first Codex Necrons in the third Edition 40k, because they had like all infantry 6" ( even faster units have only 6" too ) in the 2nd ED of 40k where they apeared they hat basic 4" like Space Marines.
( But maybe there is a good reason why they can walk just 5" )
Solution: You could give your Necron legs like Illuminor Szeras then they could run 6" . But such modifications are not supported by the rules any more
than cool older models! ...if you do you must find a cool minded boy or girl who play with you and this conversions.
The strangest thing is: that Triarch Praetorians can run 10" as if they were always running!
Good luck with this @flair541 !
Oculus has such a good narrating voice! You two should do some collabs or use him when you want to use a passage from a book! Good work both of you!
I personally am pretty sure these were Necrons. Although the werent acknowledged by the Imperium at this point, this could be an explaination as to why it remained Secret and kept from imperial records, because the Elysians were completely unprepared for an encounter like this. At the time it sure was a really unsettling mistery for imperial forces, mainly because everything that could have delivered an explaination was destroyed. Additionally, one must keep in mind that the Necrons were acknowledged by the Imperium about 3000 years later, with every guardsman present at the Scopios incident long dead and therefore unable to compare their encouter with them. Love the theories that it could be something else entirely though
True, but Necrons have their own construction facilities which are far superior to Imperial manufactorums, also they do not look anything like human skeletons.
Necrons also don't move quickly, except for specific Necrons like Wraiths or Scarabs which are dramatically different in their fighting approaches than Warriors.
The only question is, WHICH C'tan did they find?
Probably the Night-bringer given the description... wouldn’t put it past the Deceiver though.
I
To me the Necron or C'tan shard theory is pretty air tight if the swiftness of the enemies from the first encounter can be explained by Eldar actually having shown up to put a lid on it--as they often do with Necron activity-but then legging it after their goal was achieved. Eldar are adept at making their enemies fight each other. They might have orchestrated the entire event. Maybe even explains the psionic disturbances and visions. Men of Iron also come to mind. They also qualify as ancient, abominable, and unrecognizable by tech priests.
Two of my favorite lore masters working together? Awesome! Of course there can only be one explanation for this incident. Zoats!
Imperial Navy: Skopios! Hail to thee! How fair you?
[Static Silence]
Imperial Navy: They’re fine!
I absolutely love Oculus and to have him narrate one of your vids was an awesome surprise.
The imperium of Man has to be one of its own biggest enemies . This scouring and hiding of past events is a damn fine way to make sure you repeat the exact same mistakes over and over without learning any lessons . No wonder they're decaying
Are the necrons known for causing astropaths to have horrifying nightmares and visions? I had always thought that they had no connection to the warp due to the biotransferance process literally ripping out their souls for the c’tan to consume.
14:00 *CHAOS NECRONS.* THAT SHIT SOUNDS SCARY.
Meh

A very extremely awesome video as always 40k Theories, and I'm glad to hear Oculus Imperia in this video, and I love Oculus's videos as well.
There are few things as comforting as the voice of ButtstuffKaiju.
Oculus imperia hail.
I'm glad the inquisition is keeping you busy an in one piece. We all know they can be abit umm "iffiy" at remembering who they like an don't lol.

I love it when Chanel's I like do cross overs. Good job out there both of you
Friendly reminder that this is the guy who voices the tour guide in tts and by extension urban the hagflayer.
It seems that Mechanicus exploratory fleet only ever find trouble.
Great vid, love the collaboration!
What a great crossover!! Caught me by suprise.
Do one with Baldermort next, he's one of the best
Even in the 41st millennium, we're in quarantine.
Giant metal skeletons? Energy weapons? Ancient technology? It must be...

No, definitely some Alpha Legion prank.
Wrong, obviously it is the work of the Fallen.
Fucking awesome crossover. Massive props
As far as the Necron theory goes, I feel it is important to remember that flayed ones move at quite quick speeds and are shaped like a standard Necron warrior. It would explain why the first contacts where fast but also skeletal in nature.
The depiction of Flayed Ones is... inconsistent. Sometimes they're ridiculously fast, other times they're still as slow as standard necrons save for just appearing out of nowhere.
@@40KTheories Given GW's stance of "Everything is canon, but not necessary true unless stated otherwise", could we chalk the inconsistency of the flayed ones up to their integrity/state of (dis)repair or perhaps based on how much time passed since they were overtaken by the infection?
Perhaps the old Wraths when they used to be Necrons sociopaths, or another kind of Necron with some device making them moving faster.
My 2 favourite creators? Today turned out awesome!
Great job on the video!
I'm normally so adversed to new people that when a channel I watch has a stand in for them I'll just not watch an wait till they are back, except for this channel, not sure why, maybe because of how meta this channel is that you manage to convince me that it's not some other youtuber I do know but actually just a member of your inquisitorial retinue, but either way love what you do, and the contributions from your acolytes. Your are doing divine work Inquisitor, ave imperator. =I=
Oculus is a great 40K lore master. Great video
Great collaboration! Ave Imperator, gloria in excelsis Terra!
What a awesome collaboration.
You two are my favorite uncles
Have you visited Baldemort yet? If not then get ready to add another favourite to the list! 😁
Dear generous hosts of the Imperium,
I am grateful for the squads of Elysian scouts. I was able to add a unique piece to my Imperial collection. Many thanks to your officers for the generous gifts.
Sincerely,
Trayzen the Infinite
Discovered oculus after the last collab, got hooked and checked everything of his since. So I'll probably discover him again now
Necron tomb complex converted to chaos? Do you have any lore references to this please?
7th edition Necron Codex
_The Daemon Prince Shukketh Voidmaw infects the tomb world of Vorketh with the taint of Chaos. Vorketh’s regent awakens to find his crypts transformed, and his legions already locked in battle_
8 Likes and only 6 views? The Dark side of the force is a pathway to many powers some would consider unnatural.
Only if Kathleen kennedy makes a power play in games workshop. Fortunately I think exposure to the warp would be too much for Darth kennedy's mind.
And two Necrons down voted this video.
It was the remains of a failed Necron experiment that tried to harness the warp as a weapon.
OMG this cross talent episode is awesome!
Oh what a treat indeed, good Inquisitor!
Goddamn. The way Occulus opened this is very well written and spoken in character. With so much of Warhammer youtube being so close to each other in one way or another, it really feels as though Warhammer Tube is it's own thing, and has it's own sort of non cohesive lore and canon among it's characters.
there is also the posibility that it was a AI/Man of iron that was recovered from such a space hulk and that the machines were producing more men of iron and the upgrades made were so advanced that they seemed unnatural. but this by it self wouldn't explain the warp phenomena.
Feels weird without the religious song in the background
I'm a simple man.
I see a 40k video featuring Oculus Imperia, I click on it.
Ave Imperator, Gloria in Excelsis Terra!
Brother! The Emperor demands more Elysian content!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO DO A COLLAB!!!!
Well worth the wait. 😎👌
This is the second one we've done ;)
I sadly only discovered oculus about 4 months ago. Not mention only getting back into the hobby two years ago. Forgive my ignorance inquisitor. I will comb the archives for this "1st collab."
Ooh crossover episode!! 🦾🦾🦾
It is either Dark Mechanicus or the Mechanicus simply doing secret works on highly coveted STC in robotics.
Chaos AND Necrons! Chaos-nasty in a box - Mechanicus take it home - open the box - Mr Nasty goes nuts and eats everyone - wakes up buried Necrons that Mechanicus were unaware of yet, to be his minions - squaddies turn up to check on facility - high jinks ensue - yikes! Exterminatus!
Can I hire you to voice the audible version of my autobiography? It's titled the curious case of the man who had his legs ate by chaos cultists.
I love this form of video.
Aw snap, you got Occulus?
Hype af for this vid.
*Hersey* is *Hersey*
Hey can you make a video about primaris deathwing? I remember reading somewhere that they do exist but I don't have much info on them.
Very good
I'm getting serious Deja Vu. I could have sworn I've watched this video months ago.
The event was touched on briefly in the Newcomers video on the Elysians as part of their history, but this is a more in depth account and hypothesis
Ah, that explains it. Thanks.
My guess is Necrons.
Chaos Necrons!
Rem featuring OI. I’ve never thumbed a video up so fast in my life.
chaotic necrons would be a nice theme for an army to build
From what book/short story is this?
Space. Skaven.
Calling it, it was an STC that got corrupted by chaos. Necrons are a close second but it doesn’t explain how all the astropaths in the sector were having nightmares of blood and screaming faces.
one time i was listening to one of these while taking a dump. and the 16:14 song rang in right as i finished unleashing one major mud monkey. now everytime i hear it, i think of that success and relief to get that out.
I call Hecctic Chaos A.I.
...because I've always wanted to hear about that in the lore lol.
Think of the horror. A return of the very thing that brought Mankind low when we were at our peak. Only now, it's been marinated in Chaos corruption and all manner of Warp fuckery *for 15,000+ years,* and want nothing more than to make us hurt, make us scream in despair and agony both physical and emotional, then record the sound and play it back with a dubstep beat on loop for eternity...
y'know,
_'10110100666100 to the 101100666100 god, 00100 for the 00100 Throne!'_ And all that...
I'm leaning towards the C'tan theory. The Mechanicas have shown a disregard for the taboo nature of Xenos technology when discovering highly advanced technology of the Necrons before knowledge of them was declassified. It's quite possible that a C'tan shard corrupted the techpriests, teaching them how to preform bio-transference and finally shed the last of their flesh. At that point the constructs would likely be somewhat different from the Necron designs, possibly being faster and more akin to actual human skeletons, especially given the Imperium's love of skeletal motifs. After that the techpriests and anyone else unfortunate enough to be caught up in the madness would be enslaved much as the Necrons once were.
I'm sorry, but Oculus Imperia sounds like a guy who ALWAYS wears latex gloves..
please what's the song in the background just tell me iv'e searched everywhere iv'e looked through every video i just want to know the name
So I have a odd question, can space marines have families? All I can find on the subject is the One mind syndicate video but it really did go into detail and I wish to know if its possible. And I ask because Gabriel Angeles from Dawn of war 1, was talking about his family. So I was just wondering if other space marines had favorite outside their chapters.
Is it possible the entities at the Adeptus Mechanicus facility of Skorpios were chaos corrupted Necrons or chaos corrupted Men-Of-Iron?
Were they Chaos corrupted Men of Iron, it can only be hoped the Exterminatus was complete.
@@absalomdraconis for me I have no clue?
To better mesh with his in-universe style, for future vids hosted by Oculus, you two should find a way to refer to IRL books. Perhaps "8th edition Codex Necronn" could be "Ordo Xenos Data-Codex on the Necron Menace vol.VIII" while displaying a pic of the codex. Similar names could be created for other books that are directly referenced, as Remleiz loves to dig deep in the books].
Otherwise, great vid on Chaos Necrons...
Humans being taken and "upgraded" to a cybernetic body? I hope the Silent King has some damned fine legal representation because I have a feeling that the Cybercontroller will be getting ready to serve papers just as soon as the Cyberstrategist has pulled together the logistics! 😁
“Haha gaze upon this!”
I was hoping that you would bring up chaos androids and I was not disappointed!
I'm guessing it was either an early encounter with The Necron's or The Men of Iron. Guess we may never know...
Necron’s or Men of Iron.
Given how rarely we get stories of Chaos forces that aren't chaos corrupted humans I think the coolest and most interesting answer would be Chaos corrupted Necrons and even a Chaos corrupted C'tan shard. I wish there were more stories about the forces of chaos corrupting any of the major factions like Orks or Tau or Eldar, the best we ever get for chaos corrupted xenos is some minor insiginifcant xeno race from a single solar system.
Wunderbar!!!
Another possible answer is that it was some kind of alien entity, who used wither warp corruption or nanotech weaponry ("grey goo") to convert the planet, and it's inhabitants, into robot constructs. Which explains why they were so easily taken out by an orbital strike since Chaos or Necrons, of God forbid a C'tan, would have been far more durable while just some alien with some nanotech swarm would probably be (comparatively) less advanced.
Wait this is not the 40k theory’s voice. Or this is a new microphone? It is strange
What a combination
What about "Men of Iron"? A single, rogue unit could have conquered and taken over the facility, turning it into a manufactory for more men of Iron (or at least weak knock-offs).
The part about the Astropaths having dreams is curious. But that could be anything - a warning by a 3rd party (like the Emperor or some Demons), a longrange nightmare shroud effect or even just plain old premonitions.
Could the commander be a living nekron? Maybe a sleeper ship got off world after the tech was revealed yet not implemented when they flew off? This would hit the "fast" portion, "human" portion, and why they were making nekron warrior's.
Love the voice
I really enjoyed the video and you're reading next
Possibly a necron Lord that was tainted by chaos?
Men of Iron corrupted by Chaos like in Gaunt's Ghosts First and Only? They found a corrupted STC that pumped out corrupted constructs.
Ave Imperator, loyal servant of the Inquisition.
Whatever happened to the Pariah? I loved the minis and lore.
Not canon anymore
