If you like these flayed ones, definitely read the two Twice Dead King books. Gives a great perspective of the flayed ones. Also explains the pocket dimension
Dud the books are so good, can’t wait for the next one. I would say the second book is a bit tedious with the chase part, but the last 3 hours. that gave me a shiver down my spine.
The Flayer being annihilated seems irrelevant to us now because we've become accustomed to living in a universe ungoverned by whatever law of reality The Flayer upheld.
The most interesting thing with the flayed ones is that they are incredibly loyal to the necron race and still love their dynasties, but because they can't talk it was never known by the necrons, until one realized they talk in a sort of morse code tapping with their claws, he had a convo and it was actually really sad.
Loving the content you’ve been putting out, especially recently. Any grievances I once had about your style (although I still enjoyed your content) has been smoothed out. Loved the vid
I’m pretty sure the bone kingdom is now ruled by oltyx the twice dead king. The reason I think this is because in the twice dead king: reign when they arrive on drazact there is nothing there apart from an empty city a thrown and a crown plus all the necrons that became flayers while fleeing from the imperium of mans crusade. Also I would to think that the ghost wind is kind of like the flayers dimension.
yeah thaught so too also the dimension thing is that all flayers basically can use the ghost wind at will aka they can insta teleport wherever the fk they want whenever they want altho i dunno if the curse thing is still cannon as the tale speaks of the dysphorak "remnant of instinctive behavior of a body of flesh" which as the tale indicates in the mind of every necron all the sensations and stuff are filtered through so that they dont think about it but eventually it breaks down and then they go coo coo they all do in the end
@@juanfrommcdonalds4242 there is apparently no third book it was supposed to be a duology but Nate Crowley admitted that he isn’t opposed to doing stories on the other characters in the novels.
I have an interesting theory that the death of the Flayed One caused the ghoul stars to be so creepy, especially in the area where the flayed ones live, the bone kingdom of dhrazak.
When I first saw the Flayers,I thought that the virus was actually a necron weapon that was used to turn humans into the Flayers and the reason they had skin was because it was slowly peeling away as the victim turned.
*Moderate spoilers for Caves of Ice.* The fear from the flayed ones has some warp fuckery to it. In Caves of Ice an elite squad loses their minds simply though the fear aura the flayed ones project. It also gets to Cain however Jurgen's blankness blocks the effect . The flayed ones also become confused and disoriented near him (kinda like the effect he has on genestealers).

old style flayer and a destroyer encounter alien reality altering tech. The flayed one gets its wish and becomes flesh and blood again. The destroyer turns to him "Nope, not having that!"
Hey Majorkill! I love the videos their humor and quick pace is fantastic. I just wanted to let you know something about that first piece of art you used for the necrons. It's actually from a Magic the Gathering card called Pierce Strider. They come from a place called Phyrexia which has some biomechanical goodness but it is definetly mtg not 40k. If you already knew this I apologize for wasting your time. Besides good 40k art can be hard to come by so I understand using what you can for stuff like this.
Thanks, I was wondering why he used that picture since it didnt have anything to do with necrons what so ever, doesnt even look remotely similar to one.

@@callumduckworth7490 The Necrons have no souls Anymore, but they definitely used to. That is how they where able to fatten up the C’tan in the first place, by trading their souls for immortality and the C’Tan grew more powerful as they consumed further life in Galaxy during the war. But what I am surmising is, that when the Necrons successfully destroyed the Flayer C’tan (as opposed to shattering it, like they did the other C’tan) then that event in-of-itself was catastrophic enough to have created the first “ripples” of sentience, that would eventually become known as Nurgle. Maybe the destruction of a C’tan will cause the immediate release of the countless amount of souls it had gorged itself upon during its “physical” endeavours.
@@brianpj5860 The c'tan never fed on souls. They feed on the physical energies of living beings. Bio-electricity and such, the accelerated and more variable entropy that life forms generate compared to the bland output of their original food source of stars.
Tbh I'm glad this came out because I never knew much about Flayed ones. Always thought they were necrons on a campaign to become "human" again. Never thought of a Virus.
To be honest, i dislike the new way how the flayed ones where created. A magical space curse that infects a machine? I like the traumatised machine that craves its long lost fleshly body way more than mystical space aids
Honestly, necrons need more flayer units. there a really old and interesting part of the lore representing the only real corruptive threat to the necrons. There should be a whole flayer range: fast attack quadrupedal extra feral flayers, transitioning flayers who can both shoot and fight in melee, flayers fused together in monstrous hulking masses of shambling necrodermus, necrotects focused on flesh warping who get stronger for the more kills your side makes bechause there's more biomass to work with, *but most of all I know as a fact there's a flayed one named character and he deserves a model.* I just want so see the flayed ones get fleshed out a little ... pun intended.

Man, Majorkill, you cover your bases in these videos while not dragging the story out too long. I was in the middle of asking three questions but you kept answering them before I could finish. Good stuff, my man.
so I'm new to the 40k lore and I've been watching all of your videos. your extra goofy and funny way of explaining and breaking down such dark topics is what keeps me coming back. nothing better then a good dick joke after talking about someone's skin being removed
Besides being more "bad guys" (as bad as the humans anyway), the Necrons have a sense of duty and loyalty towards their people that is admirable, and that king of the Flayed Ones proves it
Surprised that there wasn't any mention of the Twice Dead King books. Go read/listen to them if you haven't, very good books with a lot of information on the Flayed Ones.

Hey y’all if u want to know more details of the flayed ones read the Twice Dead King duology. Minor Spoiler: In the book they go over what a necron experiences when they become a flayed one physically and mentally as well as how other necrons feel about the flayed one. They also go over the origins of the flayed ones and the bone kingdom as well as clears up some lore on flayed ones.
from what i learned from the twice-dead king series the virus works like phantom pain and pts together instead of pain you get flashed with memories of you being in flesh and then things like your phantom brain and phantom lungs and other phantom organs sends brain signals out that they are dying

If you like the infinite in the divine, you should read the new Reign, Twice Dead King, Series. It's not a comedy like the infinite, but it grants some amazing perspective and answers all of the questions you posed here. Also, great story The old lore was so much better and simple, the new lore is super tryhard. Also, the new army rules on tabletop make necrons bottom tier unplayable whereas the rules I used to use from white dwarf made them so much more fun
Some of the stuff mentioned is actually explained in the boom series the twice dead king It tells us how the flayed dimension is formed How the flayed ones can travel What the Flayed ones dimension looks like And that valgûl is a mythological and was made up as a way for early onset flayed ones to hold on to their sanity as experienced by high admiral yenekh of the ithican dynasty
Question: are there any instances of anyone summoning the flayers from their dimension, because if the imperium could do that it would be a great weapon against orks and nids
Against Orks, depends which clan of Orks you want them against though, and only the smallest hive fleet would be fazed by them for a short while until they adapted and overcame them altogether sadly.
If you are new to 40k lore or are like me and don’t play the game at all but love the lore or even if you just want a good 40k read please read the infinite and divine it was my first 40k lore book and my god it’s was amazing
It sounds like the virus overrides lesser function, working it's way from the least of the lesser functions and moves on slowly and systematically up and up. Until the point that only the hibernation and wake-up functions can still be externally triggered.

They are also the biggest rip off in the necron codex. $55 for five flayed ones (10 points each) with a max unit of 20 ($220).
Some of the stuff mentioned is actually explained in the boom series the twice dead king
It tells us how the flayed dimension is formed
How the flayed ones can travel
What the Flayed ones dimension looks like
And that valgûl is a mythological and was made up as a way for early onset flayed ones to hold on to their sanity as experienced by high admiral yenekh of the ithican dynasty
The bone kingdom sound like an interesting plot point.
NOTHING HAS COM-majorkill.
Question: are there any instances of anyone summoning the flayers from their dimension, because if the imperium could do that it would be a great weapon against orks and nids
You speak golden ideas my friend, but it is probably near impossible without god level technology
Against Orks, depends which clan of Orks you want them against though, and only the smallest hive fleet would be fazed by them for a short while until they adapted and overcame them altogether sadly.

got really confused when the Phyrexian Pierce Strider appeared and had to double check i was still watching Major Kill
Basically the Flayed ones are inter dimensional campers, waiting to steal necron kills
From when it’s easy to deal with necron warrior with a Gauss rifle is easy to
It was always such a terror show to mass dump the flayed ones in the middle of a battle on the enemy gunline in Dawn of War
If you are new to 40k lore or are like me and don’t play the game at all but love the lore or even if you just want a good 40k read please read the infinite and divine it was my first 40k lore book and my god it’s was amazing

It sounds like the virus overrides lesser function, working it's way from the least of the lesser functions and moves on slowly and systematically up and up. Until the point that only the hibernation and wake-up functions can still be externally triggered.

When you said “more on him later”, it took me a few minutes to realize you were talking about Valgoul and not a cricket match streaker. That’s on me

Cut through space marine armour like a Katana through a 9yr old.
@Majorkill is darker than the whole 40K I swear😂
3:18 Human Torch when he becomes an evil supervillain
“meat they pretend to eat”
just a great way to put it
Finally downloaded Surfshark because of this video, and god damn it actually is a really good deal for 27months.
When I played dawn of war I loved teleporting a whole bunch of flayed ones into the enemy base
Zombie vampire robots from another dimension
That sounds like the best story starter ever
