    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.".

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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

  • @tomoslewis9656
    @tomoslewis9656 4 роки тому

    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.
