I like the idea of the necrons just adopting the tribe essentially as pets on a lark. Not for any practical reason, nor for any cruel plans, but because the overlord thought it would be funny.
Knowing my necrons i would say thats the most fitting. They would accept willful subjecation by the diggas and the orks were pushing into their realm. Like kings sending.knights to destroy invaders attacking their peasent village, not out of compassion but because its their property.
I think we can also assume that there are probaly some Necrons which are aware of the threat the Chaos, Orkz, Tyrannids and Dark Eldar still are. We shouldn't forget that Necrons hate the Chaos, Orkz, Tyrannids and Eldar in general. And Humans are also to my knowledge a Race, besides the Tyrannids and Tau, which weren't created by "The Old Ones" which the Necrons hated. So basically - I wouldn't be too surprised if there would be at least a few Necrons which advocate for "Ally us with the Humans, destroyin' the Warp, make the Orks, Tyrannids and Eldar extinct and then pickin' up the rest to create finally a Galaxy after our likin' and maybe even obtain true immortality.".

Orks, previously krork, were the tools of the Necron's enemy. Seems like the only reason needed to attack the orks. Humans would be new and considered harmless.
Where is that in lore, because according to lore korks fought Necrons because the old ones made them to fight Necrons , died mostly during the void plague then devolved into Orks. While Necrons slept . Where is this in lore I'd like to read it
Yeah, I think you got that backwards. Krorks were enemies of the Necrontyre and the Ctan made by the Old Ones to fight them. My best bet would be that the Necron in charge mostly just hates the old races that fought them long ago a lot compared to some apes that popped up only like a couple million years ago. So why pass up some loyal apes that are willing to fight with you.
I feel like the necrons just did the submit or die thing, but holded their end of the bargain when the tribes submit, and they are just protecting their servants when they demn necesary
Wouldn't it make sense for the Necrons to attack the Orks, having fought the War in Heaven against the Krorks? They're an obvious enemy, whereas humans were unknown at the time. So the Necrons may have viewed the primitive Diggas as something of a novelty, maybe even assuming they were the product of evolution. If they also saw the similarities between the human skeleton and their regular forms then they might have thought they were descendants or (to tie in with Rem's idea of using the humans as bodies to inhabit), specifically grown for the purpose?

When the Orks crashed their ship into their world they most likely destroyed a good portion of the Necron ground force and structures underground. So they decided to make an alliance with the Ork cosplayers in order to redirect the Orks attention away from themselves.
Probably the radiation damage the Diggas endured: if anything can evoke pity in a Necron, it's probably seeing people irrevocably damaged by radiation. It's also a good chance to study the Warp, and how human and Ork interactions might affect it.
Didn't the original ork lifeforms fight the necrons in the war in heaven? Maybe the necrons, after seeing the humans fighting the orks, decide that the enemy of my enemy was my friend.
perhaps that could be part of it, perhaps the necron overlord was merciful and thought that keeping the humans would be a good idea in case they needed them later, perhaps the necron overlord was empathetic and it was amplified by the fact that they were fighting the orks and losing to them, so instead of letting them die they helped the humans kill off the orks
@@tachyon7904 so basically Necrons: ok I can tolerate you guys but stay off my lawn Humans: **fight a losing battle against the orks** Necrons: **war in heaven flashbacks** ok no your mine now.

I like the idea of merging these theories. The diggers do worship the necrons as the living dead. At some point at the pinnacle of a ceremony a cryptek sarcophagus popped open revealing the staff light. The priests took the staff and thus activated the mindless warriors and scarabs. Eventually the Phearon awoke found this amusing and now keeps the diggers as loyal guards as the diggers worship him as a true God
After the explorators killed the Pharaoh of Angelis by chance, the necrons turned on them. The explotators then convinced the Necrons to view them as friends using the Codex Astartes maneuver known as doing the "weekend at Bernie's".
I gotta ask this question, where's all these magazines coming from? Do even astartes use magic to keep mags topped off, or they just appear? Probably not the best video to bring this up... Yeah, not very orky of me
4:55 Oh, that was just the Necrons saying: "Get of my lawn. I do not want another Krork Fungus infestration. Last time I had to sterilize the whole damn planet!" 12:07 Most likely they got the staff of one of the lower lords, allowing them to command that Lords forces. Not a lot of Necrons in the grand scheme of things. But still easily enough to conquer a bunch of tribal humans! It is possible that part of the Tomb Complexes guards is unable to leave the tomb complex. I found it interesting that the Diggas never used their Standing Necron army to beat back the Orks, only that much larger force. Wich would confirm my idea that this was a automatic response to (Kr)ork presence.
What do I think...? I think you're good at this. All the stuff MCU and DC has released lately and I'm still coming back to watching/listening/learning 40k Theories ... Thank You Brother.
'Hey, uh... Doug, I think someone switched up the molds for the Guardsmen and the Ork sets...' 'It's fine, Tim, just figure something out. It's not a bug, it's a feature.' 'Alrightie then, whatever you say, Doug.'
Gorkamorka was a wonderful game, it completely redrew the Ork character and began to move 40k away from the background of a stifled, stagnating human empire of 2nd ed. toward the the galaxy wide, war-torn battle of survival that 3rd ed introduced. Where the Diggas and Necrons are concerned, it's worth remembering that Gorkamorka is seemingly set in M35/6 and theimperium's first official contact with the Necrons was 897.M41 (at Sanctuary 101, one of the best 40k battle reports ever). As such, these could be the first Necrons to have awakened in the 'new' galaxy. They might be faulty, curious or atypical, as the video suggests. I'm inclined to say that they were curious: they may have been trying to figure out the people who they'd woken up to find, perhaps with a goal to creating their own bodies. There again, there may have been no actual Necrons and it was just their support constructs in the tombs which might not necessarily have been hostile to the humans.
I really liked the skirmish games back when I played. They were easier to set up than full battles, smaller amounts of figures to transport. Painting was more detailed and more fun than painting 20 identical figures.
I wonder if the pharon feels pity for the diggas, seeing in them a vauge kinship in these small things, slaving under a blazing Star to fill the whims of things far stronger then they.
Some game dev is bound to turn this into a video game one day. Probably like a 40k Borderlands 2 and Rage mix but it's about the Diggas, Necrons and Da Orks.

Get outta here, you crazy kids. No murder today, not with those itty bitty faces. Cue zany hijinks as the Necron Lord adopts their tribe.
I actually really like the idea of a Necron Overlord looking at the Diggas and going "You know what? These....things..are our pets now" sorta like Pugs. Ugly as hell yet kinda cute
playing gothic armada 2 as necron i think that it was their protocol,surrender and be sparred..as we can all experience during the mission where the player must capture the white scar space marine..1stly the necron offers a very peacefull solution
I like your idea that the Diggas were just running around in the tunnels beneath the surface of Gorkamorka until they discovered the nearly destroyed tomb of a Necron lord and just decided to pinch his nice shiny staff.
They must have needed help from the diggers. Maybe they needed the diggers to awaken them, or so many necrosis have been lost they needed the diggers as cannon fodder
DIggas are far less costly units to mobilize against the Orks, who have become quite effective with some aid in development. So a little uplifting has made these humans very good assets to the Necron.
Mindshackle Scarabs for sleeper agents could be a possibility. I know that GW have basically abandoned the concept of them, but it was always an interesting thought.
Don't some of the necron lords long for the days when their people had souls, minds of their own, aspirations? I like the idea that the humans and one of the necron lords that was awake, or awakened by the humans, and the necron liked the idea of making these new humans it's subjects and rebuilding the kingdom. I also really like that idea at the end of the video, that one of the humans found the staff and the damage that the tomb had suffered made it so that human was now the boss. Some fun conversion ideas too - Necron/Human counts as army...
I think the worship theory fits. The feral humans might have had some cultural memories of a skeletal god-emperor and thought they'd found him in the catacombs. They kneel, Orks don't, Necron lord protects the respectful primitives from the noisy ones.
I like the idea of the necrons just adopting the tribe essentially as pets on a lark. Not for any practical reason, nor for any cruel plans, but because the overlord thought it would be funny.
Knowing my necrons i would say thats the most fitting. They would accept willful subjecation by the diggas and the orks were pushing into their realm.
Like kings sending.knights to destroy invaders attacking their peasent village, not out of compassion but because its their property.
@@wakcedout What about the Pariah Gene?
I think we can also assume that there are probaly some Necrons which are aware of the threat the Chaos, Orkz, Tyrannids and Dark Eldar still are.
We shouldn't forget that Necrons hate the Chaos, Orkz, Tyrannids and Eldar in general.
And Humans are also to my knowledge a Race, besides the Tyrannids and Tau, which weren't created by "The Old Ones" which the Necrons hated.
So basically - I wouldn't be too surprised if there would be at least a few Necrons which advocate for "Ally us with the Humans, destroyin' the Warp, make the Orks, Tyrannids and Eldar extinct and then pickin' up the rest to create finally a Galaxy after our likin' and maybe even obtain true immortality.".

Da WAAAAAGH doesn't end for da Nekronboyz, unlezz you'z a Digga boy.
Gorka Morka was one of my favourite games, kept all my minis' too. Loved the Diggas and Muties.
Good timing!
Some game dev is bound to turn this into a video game one day. Probably like a 40k Borderlands 2 and Rage mix but it's about the Diggas, Necrons and Da Orks.
We were supposed to have a Gorkamorka video game on the Dreamcast, but it got cancelled :(
A combination surely, curiosity, Orky threat, and having humanity as a handy experimental resource.
something to do with Trazan the infinite probably watching holofeeds of their antics that have been arranged into saturday morning cartoons by his minions
Just a guess. They needed manual worker, ''fixer'', gardian while they slumber.
So what new information inspired you to revisit this video at this time? I'm interested in any source that refers back to Gorkamorka.
More a case of correcting a couple of mistakes that I had made in the previous video.
(Bored Necron Lord, drumming his fingers on a throne)
NL: Waiting thousands of years is staggeringly boring.
(Wreckers accidently stumble into the throne room)
NL: Dafaq is this? Dafaq are you? Are... Oh my word you're humans. But. Ohhhhh myyy look at you! You've devolved even further! That's adorable! Look at you, look at your little faces! You're all so cute! Ah. Get outta here, you crazy kids. No murder today, not with those itty bitty faces.
Cue zany hijinks as the Necron Lord adopts their tribe.
I actually really like the idea of a Necron Overlord looking at the Diggas and going "You know what? These....things..are our pets now" sorta like Pugs. Ugly as hell yet kinda cute
playing gothic armada 2 as necron i think that it was their protocol,surrender and be sparred..as we can all experience during the mission where the player must capture the white scar space marine..1stly the necron offers a very peacefull solution
I like your idea that the Diggas were just running around in the tunnels beneath the surface of Gorkamorka until they discovered the nearly destroyed tomb of a Necron lord and just decided to pinch his nice shiny staff.
I think it is probably them being the patrons pet science project.
More likely the Diggers make a good largely harmless early warning meatshield.
They must have needed help from the diggers. Maybe they needed the diggers to awaken them, or so many necrosis have been lost they needed the diggers as cannon fodder
Trazyn called dibs.
4:12 Diggers? This vocabulary is legal? XD
DIggas are far less costly units to mobilize against the Orks, who have become quite effective with some aid in development. So a little uplifting has made these humans very good assets to the Necron.
Remleiz "digging" deep into the old lore for this one.
I'll see myself out.
Mindshackle Scarabs for sleeper agents could be a possibility. I know that GW have basically abandoned the concept of them, but it was always an interesting thought.
Don't some of the necron lords long for the days when their people had souls, minds of their own, aspirations? I like the idea that the humans and one of the necron lords that was awake, or awakened by the humans, and the necron liked the idea of making these new humans it's subjects and rebuilding the kingdom. I also really like that idea at the end of the video, that one of the humans found the staff and the damage that the tomb had suffered made it so that human was now the boss. Some fun conversion ideas too - Necron/Human counts as army...
I think the worship theory fits. The feral humans might have had some cultural memories of a skeletal god-emperor and thought they'd found him in the catacombs. They kneel, Orks don't, Necron lord protects the respectful primitives from the noisy ones.
