@@bossshun9 It matters not. I like how they wrote one piece of story in SC2 Heart of the Swarm (I shall paraphrase since I cant remember it perfectly): Kerrigan: „All I did was to get revenge on Mengsk” (implying that she used the swarm as a mere tool for revenge) Abathur: „Leader of Swarm dictates purpose. When leader changes, Swarm changes” The general message translates to: as long as one goal is good (in our perspective as players), it matters not what the personal ambition of the ruler. HOWEVER, I am a filthy choas worshipper and I wouldn't like this ending (since Warhammer would move towards Peacehammer), although it would be the best for the setting out of them all.
@@donraccoonisoverlordofther9341 It would actually move to Deadhammer. If the Dark Throne's counter-warp measure are the same as those on Cadia and on the Paria Nexus, it's a death sentence for all living creatures, since they are connected to the Warp. Mankind, the Aeldari, the Orks and the T'au, as well as all organic species are gonna turn to lethargy, until they die of thirst/hunger/inactivity.
And instead of the usual grimdarkness of grimdark we have a classic hero journey here. Honorable hero Amarkun the Gatherer and his best friend Zaa of Tomorrow are trying their best to help their dynasty, but, as Amarkun has to work with his rival, Trazyn the Infinite, he gets an insight on how corrupt his Phaeron is and embarks on journey to free Nepheru Dynasty from Kephrekh's tyranny and bring it to a new, better tomorrow, also saving the galaxy in process.
@@jacksonpettit4690 why should we care about the weak and the stupid animals ? If they colonized a world or a entire sector, why should we waste such an resource like time on them, even if we have enough of it? there is nor material neither glory in defeating the primitive and helpless, and so its not ours to bother their existence
In lore though, the Necrons voidfleets are unmatched. It's why there's so little writing done about Necrons in space battles with their ships. They are simply too OP.
noobkaka567 whose to say that’s this is all their ships? If their tomb worlds are literal ftl capable PLANETS. Then i doubt that they can’t build larger ships, I mean humanity even have Blackstone fortresses, the necron must have better.
@@manhphuc4335 Its not just their big ships that give them advantage, but also the absurd gap in technology between them and the other races : - Necron ships hull are so durable that they only take scratch damage from firepower that would destroy ships of similar size from other races. And that's not even accounting their self-repairing capabilities. - Their hull mask all heat emission. It may look not that great, but it mean they are almost undetectable unless they are actively firing or using their engines, making them a pain for targeting systems. - Their weapons can bypass a lot of most of shielding, have perfect accuracy, and their burst of energy ( Star Pulse I think it is named in game ) can devastate most vessels. - They just don't need the Warp or webway to travel. They just accelerate above lightspeed and safely go from system to system in ridiculously low time and with perfect safety. - Being borded by Necrons is a death sentence. Unless you are a very big ship with important troops inside, you will most likely not have the heavy firepower needed to stall, let alone repel the Necrons who will kill everyone on board before teleporting back to their ship, or worse, let loose a colony of scarab that will literally feast on your vessel until it explode. If the game was lore accurate, Necrons would be like 5 ships against 20 enemies to be balanced.
@@manhphuc4335 Blackstone Fortress isn't human-built. It's extra-galactic tech. The Necrons are actually the only race in the galaxy that have even a clue what a BSF can actually do.
@@simonbourdin2952 I too heard from I believe a Luetin Video that the Black Stone Fotresses are indeed or could be indeed extra galactic and the remains of a faction that fought the Tyranids and..well..lost. The Eldar believe their Gods of Smithing Created the BSF, but well. There seemed to be a minor Chaos demon of Nurgle that believes that the Fortress is extra galactic as it has no countermeasures agains the warp or something. I think nobody does really know where the BSF come from. For the Imperium at least they were always where they were.
I find it hilarious how Necrons adress eldars so politely and equally, as "esteemed foe", as if they were old friends (despite an infinite gap between their levels) while eldars are all like "PREPARE TO DIE YOU WRETCHED MONSTROSITY!" Their whole relations are more like: -Long time no see, esteemed foe! -WE SHALL FIGHT AND DESTROY YOU A.. -Not today -WHAT!? -We have just awoken and need to solve many problems for now. Sorry, we may fight another time. -HOW DARE YOU!? WE WILL DRIVE YOU FROM THIS SECTOR! -Why? We haven't done anything yet -Because... Because you are our ARCH-ENEMY! -That was 65000000 years ago... You girl and your empire didn't even exist back then... -You DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE! -...And now things have changed.

Shouldn't you be in another place by now btw? -Youaregoingtodie. -You annoying pointy-ears brat...
There is a passage in Wild Rider that shows that Necrons and Aeldari worked together to contain Chaos during the War in Heaven (in addition to all other conflict known). While the Necrons slept and some kept memories of that, the Eldar forgot through 65 000 000 years. Although, in the same book, the two factions set aside their differences to contain a Slaanesh invasion, and after the conflict, the Necron allows the Ynnari to leave, while they remain to watch over the Crypt.
Amarkun: Activate the throne. *throne activates and closes the eye of terror forever: *Amarkun looking at the effects and the results, turns to Zaa* Amarkun: Are we the good guys? Zaa: Yes, Great One.
Zaa: The Vengeful Spirit is severely damaged. Amarkun: Excellent, maintain fire. Warmaster, I offer clemency in exchange for fealty, what is your answer? Abbadon: THE VOID TAKE YOU!

"Esteemed foe, I regret that your forgiveness means nothing to me" DAYUM. It's like the passion for life from the Necrontyr is still trying to creep out, C'tan be damned.
Unless the Necrons completely sealed off the Warp, preventing all Warp travel. Then humanity would be screwed, at least until someone invents/rediscovers ftl technology that doesn't use the Warp.
Disaster for the Eldar though, collapse of the eye of terror means no crone worlds, no new spirit stones. Which is probably why the closing off of the warp is listed as a sign of the end of times for the Eldar
Hey humans we see that demons are consuming your worlds. Wanna let us close that rift in exchange for this corner of the galaxy?. “Humans” sure. Sounds fair.
To be fair, it's easy to be patient when your perception of time is much faster than a Human's. To a Human, 100 years can be a lifetime or more. To a Necron, a century is barely any time at all.
By the way, did anyone notice, how at 1:54:13, not only the Eye of Terror itself is closed, but the entire structure of the very spacetime, where this gigantic bleeding wound of reality once existed, returns back to normal, non-warped three-dimensional Euclidean topology? Looks like Necron technology can truly fix what Formless Horror has done to the galaxy, not merely patch it over. All hail Amarkun the Gatherer (Amarkun the Savior by now, probably) and Nepheru Dynasty!
Honestly, I think everyone comes out ahead in this scenario if we just let the Necrons win. The Imperium could stand to sacrifice a single sector if it meant the Eye of Terror was closed. Of course, even suggesting that would be counted as heresy.
@@SpartanSniper3 Without the Eye of Terror, the Cicatrix Maledictum is very likely to collapse too, making the reunion between Imperium Nihilus and the Imperium proper very easy.
@@caav56 true. And it would set back the forces of chaos with a blow it may never recover from. Without an easy hole into the materium, most of the chaos forces will have to spend centuries just to break out of the warp. The Imperium will have a massive burden lifted from it's shoulders and can focus on more immediate problems and dedicate new forces to fighting more pressing foes. Imagine the troops and supplies that can be freed up now!
@@SpartanSniper3 Yeah. There are still Maelstrom and the Screaming Vortex, though, but yes, none of them are as remotely bad as the Eye of Terror. And, with the Dark Throne brought online and having undergone testing with such a great result, there's a possbility of more second-generation Pylon technology getting created now, which can be used to collapse them too.
I love how Amarkun is cordial and offers opponents a chance to flee or surrender, and how he and Zaa trust each other more and more and use each other's strengths.
Isn't it weird that the race consisting of literal Machines are more "Human" than the actual humans that worship Machines? I mean the Adeptus Mechanicus behave like emotionless robots, but the Necrons are ambitious individuals with knowledge of things like honor, vengeance and fear.
Its probably because the necrons nobles still have most of their sentience and are actually trying to stop being machines. Furthermore they have a different point of view when it comes to tech : Necrons see it as a tool which allows you to achieve greater things, while the mechanicus see it as old knowledge and as an example as to what you should be like.
It is between reasonable ancient materialists with proper manners vs. bunch of young conservative and rude spiritualists who has forget and forbid innovation. The old materialists are actually trying to make things work and fix their mistakes, while the young spiritualists pray that everything runs themselves because they now worship the using manual of the machines A technologically advanced society on Mars get built probably by the most open minded and reasonable human beings such as scientists and construction workers and then descend into fanatical, conservative machine worshipping society which their ancestors probably gonna laugh their asses off if they can see it, and it is probably the most lunatic and intriguing idea of science fiction. At the same time, having a bunch of ancient relics awaken from the past and actually looking towards the future instead strangle themselves in the present is another amazing thing. Which is just why both necron and adeptus mechanics are awesome. It is also irony that Necron is being extremely cultivated and at least show respect on formal situation by calling their opponent “esteemed/honored foe” while Imperium faction is running around calling everyone else degenerate heretics and Aeldari keeps being Aeldari which is just gay.
@@GGWP-gm5cq I think that is meant to portray more bleakness within Humanity's eyes. The Few People that are "Entrusted" with Technology have no idea how to use it and constantly forget what those technologies are, having to slap things into shape and even slap things together on the fly and call it something useful. On Top of that they've forbidden any new technology to be made out of fear due to the Taboos of Chaos and especially the Dark Mechanicum. One more thing that I find interesting is that the Necrons don't seem bothered - or much of the other races in 40k for that matter- that they aren't actively improving their technology or their understanding, bar maybe the Tau, but those are more complicated reasons than the Imperium, who are actively trying to save as much technology but end up hoarding it and never using it, ultimately ending up as either bargaining chips and/or leverage for petty political squabbles when the species is at stake for everything and anything. That too also horribly reflects humanity in an eerily close way, reflecting more bleakness
@Gap emperor reincarnates and not only halts the rampart feodal promoted ignorance and tech fearing fueled decline in the human empire ,but also encurages cautious alliances with all necron clans that is neutral or allready have un official agrements with the living that due to imperial decre's is forced to ocuppie the surface of crypt worlds they own..... or did the ip owners retcon that realistic detail into hell since i heard it ?
@@klonoaguntz8309 More importantly because they don't have home planets. Though honestly I don't see why the DEldar wouldn't just turtle up in Commoragh the way they've always done. Dolmen Gates aren't exactly reliable on a good day.
Dont know about the best side..

@@klonoaguntz8309 Tyranids? They actually are the biggest losers here because Necrons aren't organic. They can't be eaten. In fact, Tyranids actively fear them and run from them.
@@valtersplume3726 Not fear per se because Tyranids aren't emotional in that way. Rather, Tyranids run on cost-benefit analysis: they only take actions if they calculate that they will end the conflict with more biomass than when they started. The problem with Necrons has many facets, but there are two that come to mind immediately. Firstly, as you said, they cannot be consumed. It's been established that Tyranids cannot process Necrodermis, and as such they can never replenish lost biomass from defeated enemy forces: that's half the biomass from the aftermath of a battle, lost. Further, even if Tyranids were to try to consume Necrodermis, it would simply phase out of their claws or even out of their very stomachs, and return to be repaired and reconstituted back into more Necron Warriors. Second, Necron Gauss Weaponry completely eradicates matter at the atomic level: there is nothing left behind of the target, and as such Tyranids cannot even recycle their own dead: that's the other half of bioass from the aftermath of a battle, also lost. Meaning that every single battle fought between Necrons and Tyranids will _always_ be a net loss of biomass for the Tyranids, as they can neither consume the fallen enemy nor recycle their own fallen troops. Worse, while Tyranid losses cannot be replenished and they will continuously lose resources, fallen Necrons can be salvaged near-indefinitely, to be repaired and sent back into combat. The Tyranids simply cannot win that war of attrition. Pretty much it's just not worth it for Tyranids to fight Necrons. They go out of their way to avoid them because it makes no logical sense to engage them: it's immense risk for virtually no reward, and even if they do win a conflict with a Necron force, they still lose in the long run as they've exhausted far more biomass than they've harvested. Tyranids _need_ to consume, and they need to consume more than they burn up to live. Without sufficient resource intake, they will eventually starve to death.
The writers get big credit from me for making Huron Blackheart the end boss instead of Failbaddon. He's a far better leader and more ruthless instead of the Saturday morning cartoon flavor of the other guy.
What I think I love most is just the idea of Abaddon being killed by some random Necron. Like he is ten thousand years old, has caused the deaths of trillions of humans for no other reason than his ego and enslaved just as many. He represents perhaps one of the Imperium’s greatest and most ever present foes. Without question, he alone is one of humanities greatest enemies. and then he gets killed by some random metal skeleton. If this death was actually cannon it would probably be one of the most hilariously underwhelming way the BBEG has been killed.
I find his death in the Tyranid campaign to be more chucklesome. Abaddon and his followers cancelled the 13th Black Crusade, and cowered in the Eye of Terror. His end was ultimately brought upon him because he wouldn't stop Hellbreed from doing a Leroy Jenkins straight towards the closest hive fleet, thus revealing his location. I like to think that his final thoughts was “Maybe I should have gotten some smarter henchmen” as his ankles are getting nibbled on by some hormagaunts.
Amarkun is, first and foremost, pragmatic to no end. He will both threaten Zaa and treat him with kindness (like waiting before making the Webway Gate go boom, or providing cover in the final mission), if it helps him to make Nepheru Dynasty stronger and more prosperous.
Seems more like Amarkum threatens him to make sure he does his job and doesnt think he somehow is equal to him, but Amarkum doesnt want to be a tyrant like his predecesor, so he keeps it cordial, but is willing to be threatening to make sure no one gets any wrong ideas
Kephrekh: "Reclaim the neigbhouring Dolmen Gate, so that the distant worlds might come to know my greatness" Also Kephrekh: If the Aldeari are alerted to our presence, its due to your actions, not my commands". .... Dammit make up your mind!
57:44 Maybe I'm missing something here, but what exactly do the Tyranids gain by attacking Necrons? They're inedible. The Tyranids stand only to lose biomass by attacking them. I was under the impression they actively avoided encounters with Necrons whenever possible.
Probably, either from shitty connection to the main Hive Mind or as some sort of an experimental preventive maneuver. Much easier to deal with organics, when you don't have crazy-ass ancient Egyptian robotic undeads after your fleshy ass.
Maybe because they see the Necrons as a threat, just like they do with Chaos. After all, if someone is trying to destroy your food source then you will take great exception to that.
I think it's more of a case of the Tyranids wanting the planets the Necrons were on, or just destroying them as collateral as they passed through their space on their hunt for biomass.
Jenny Eel I mean it's more than just Guilliman: We see the Destruction of the Phalanx, Vengeful Spirt, and the death of the two biggest Chaos Characters.
All this time that zaa character reminds me of someone but i cant seem to remember then when my son watch Madagascar cartoons it click something in my brain. And rings KOWALSKY!! ZAA IS KOWALSKY
So I know you probably busted your ass recording all of this and stuff but I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for doing this Mister, like theres usually always those dudes where when a DLC get's released you get the usual ALL cutscenes thing like a literal day later (aka what ive been waiting for since the Chaos DLC got released) but so far we dont have much, so thank you so much again for doing these!
Yeah... Also for annexing the whole Cadian sector for themselves, annihilating infinite number of imperial fleets, killing both ancient admiral Spire and a recently reborn Primarch, and the destruction of the biggest and deadliest of humanity's space ships which is the Phalanx.
just realized, with this ending, emps can get off the golden throne as the webway breach would seal up, and he can fix humanities ftl problem, would however be upset that some of his sons died and well the state of his imperium.
See, this is so much better than just the traditional cutscenes, most of the game's best dialog is during battle! I cannot wait to see one for Chaos!!! Absolutely fine work, fine work indeed!!!!
Great stream, Game Movie! I really appreciated how you made all those efforts you did by zooming around and showing different camera angles to make things look more cinematic rather than just the top-down view of playing the game -- and that you showed everything that was needed but didn't loiter too long to draw things out. Definitely a great watch!
Kephrekh: "I will not have my wisdom questioned by a grovelling cryptek! You will remain silent." Zaa: "..." Just goes to show how well designed the game is.
The Thousand son Wizard calling the necrons : "foolis h automatons" xD (thousand sons have no body left and are only armors controlled by their souls) I can already imagine the reaction of Amarkun like Schwarzenegger in Total Recall : "Lol who's Talking ?" x'D
Goddamn! Why are the NECRONS the absolute best faction to watch? Amarkun is actually a pretty good leader, and not a complete asshole. Zaa, isn't planning anything big, he just wanted a competent leader, and Amarkun fit the bill. Amarkun doesn't give a shit about anything save protecting his dynasty, and does not show unnecessary cruelty. Only taking the mantle of leadership when it became clear his leader was too paranoid and foolish, having endured the threat of disintegration if he should make the pettiest of failures for so long...showing a good sense of loyalty, tempered by reason as he did eventually take up arms when it became all too clear what dark road was being tread. With his devotion to maintaining the dynasty remaining stalwart...what the actual hell, why is this immortal and supposedly evil xeno doing being more human than the godsbedamned Imperium of Man?! He even beats down Chaos HARD, pushed back the Orks, bitch slapped some Eldari imbeciles...hell, someone let Alfa know, I want this magnificent skelly bastard to join TTS! Him and the Emperor would get along great, and hell, imagine how well Zaa would get along with Magnus and Kitten, being a curious and knowledgable sort who likes learning new things and wants nothing but the better for his dynasty!
I really hope Amarkun shows up in the Text-to-Speech universe at some point. There's a lot of comedic potential in a foe whose none the less incredibly polite, even as he's plotting your species doom,. I can imagine many of the other 40k characters being put off guard or not knowing how to react. _"His words are cordial but his intent is murderous."_
TBF, Amarkun wouldn't have cared for the Imperium, if not for them trespassing the space of Nepheru Dynasty and sabotaging operations of the Dark Throne. He did tell Huron, that he doesn't care about what's going on outside of Nepheru's space.
I like how well-mannered Amakan is, "Honored Foe", "Esteemed Enemy", he is always like "We will meet you in battle according to war protocol". He always asks nicely to surrender or come to agreement before resolving to violence, he doesn't want to commit war crimes as it is beneath his honor. Some Necrons sound like they'd tolerate humans on their worlds cause "We are superior to you in any way primitives, but you can't help what you are, here, have this continent and know our benevolence." By standards of GrimDark 40k this sounds like the most genuine nicety, compared to Eldar who are only nice when it is beneficial to them or Tau who only use you only to depopulate you when you're not needed, necrons soud like they would have some kind of "mantle of responsibility".
Honestly, I always took it as a characteristic which falls to each individual. Some are polite, and wish to just exist, while others seem to be ideologicaly against the other racesm
@@lollikabosso.w.n7153 The issue with Necrons is that some of them have no will of their own, some have partial free will and some others have a full free will, but sitting in a coffin for 65 million years kinds screws the mind. So we don't know if Amakan really was like that or is it data corruption.
It's canon that after the Necrons were ordered to go to sleep to wait out the rise and fall of the Eldar, the Triarch Praetorians stayed active, and a lot of them would actually go around the galaxy to make contact with primitive species and teach them Necrontyr culture to both prepare for the planned return of the Necrons, and more importantly as a extra layer of safety in the case that the Eldar find and destroy enough tomb worlds.
The Crown Guard recognize the true king and bow before him. May all pretenders cast themselves at his feet and acknowledge his right to rule, or be destroyed by his legion like all before.
You can’t fathom the euphoria this has given me! I just got into 40K and the Necrons are my favourites by far. And I finally get to see the moment the famous quote was said by Trazyn the Infinite, “I have in my possession a tesseract labyrinth of quite humorous extent.”
8:36 "Scour the infestation from the universe, servant!" "Will do! Butuhm...won't that wake up the guys who can kick our ass effortlessly?" "Hey man, they'll be looking for you, not me. Staying outta this." "I hate you so much right now."
That's what happens, when biotransference goes properly enough and their mind stays intact enough for long enough. But, unfortunately, unless there's some way to reverse the biotransference and get the souls back (and then perform biotransference again, but without C'tan eating souls this time and into higher-quality bodies), their mind engrams will degrade over time, slowly, but surely, until every Necron becomes all-but-Severed. Though, with Chaos out of the equation, hopefully, a solution can be found for that now.
If there’s ever an end times, the Necrons deserves to be the ultimate winner. They are the only one that make sense to win. They are the only who can wipe the taint of Chaos clean from the Materium, the only one that can shut down the Tyranid Hive Mind, the only one that have the strength and power to rule. The Aeldari’s time have passed, Mankind’s has lost it’s second chance to reach their golden age.
Well, the BFG9000 and 10k fire green energy, so maybe they're already reaching the Void Dragon's good shit. Samuel Hayden seems like a good candidate for Fabricator-General, honestly.

Love how the Necron campaign is a hero's journey story with Amarkun needing to save his nation from a selfish and corrupt King.
And then, the entire galaxy from the Eye of Terror.
It's one of the few happy stories to exist in 40k. A hero's journey that ends in success
He even has s best friend (zaa)and a rival(trazyn)
Ryan Olivier yes the imperium lost the fist-house but both Babbadon and Huron snuffed it along with a lot of other heretic shite tyranids elder etc and the rift was shut so the Galaxy is a happier place really 🥰
@@hornet1blue The Imperium suffered because it got in the way of their own salvation, they should have just stand aside and let the NecroChads do their thing. But they are better for it. Yes, Guilliman is dead but he was dead before as well (effectively) and the Imperium survived. And now the Imperium wont have to worry about demonic incursions and Chaos anymore while the nids have been culled. This is great all around.

@@bossshun9 It matters not. I like how they wrote one piece of story in SC2 Heart of the Swarm (I shall paraphrase since I cant remember it perfectly):
Kerrigan: „All I did was to get revenge on Mengsk” (implying that she used the swarm as a mere tool for revenge)
Abathur: „Leader of Swarm dictates purpose. When leader changes, Swarm changes”
The general message translates to: as long as one goal is good (in our perspective as players), it matters not what the personal ambition of the ruler.

And instead of the usual grimdarkness of grimdark we have a classic hero journey here. Honorable hero Amarkun the Gatherer and his best friend Zaa of Tomorrow are trying their best to help their dynasty, but, as Amarkun has to work with his rival, Trazyn the Infinite, he gets an insight on how corrupt his Phaeron is and embarks on journey to free Nepheru Dynasty from Kephrekh's tyranny and bring it to a new, better tomorrow, also saving the galaxy in process.

In lore though, the Necrons voidfleets are unmatched. It's why there's so little writing done about Necrons in space battles with their ships. They are simply too OP.
noobkaka567 whose to say that’s this is all their ships? If their tomb worlds are literal ftl capable PLANETS. Then i doubt that they can’t build larger ships, I mean humanity even have Blackstone fortresses, the necron must have better.
@@manhphuc4335 Its not just their big ships that give them advantage, but also the absurd gap in technology between them and the other races :
- Necron ships hull are so durable that they only take scratch damage from firepower that would destroy ships of similar size from other races. And that's not even accounting their self-repairing capabilities.
- Their hull mask all heat emission. It may look not that great, but it mean they are almost undetectable unless they are actively firing or using their engines, making them a pain for targeting systems.
- Their weapons can bypass a lot of most of shielding, have perfect accuracy, and their burst of energy ( Star Pulse I think it is named in game ) can devastate most vessels.
- They just don't need the Warp or webway to travel. They just accelerate above lightspeed and safely go from system to system in ridiculously low time and with perfect safety.
- Being borded by Necrons is a death sentence. Unless you are a very big ship with important troops inside, you will most likely not have the heavy firepower needed to stall, let alone repel the Necrons who will kill everyone on board before teleporting back to their ship, or worse, let loose a colony of scarab that will literally feast on your vessel until it explode.
If the game was lore accurate, Necrons would be like 5 ships against 20 enemies to be balanced.
@@manhphuc4335 Blackstone Fortress isn't human-built. It's extra-galactic tech. The Necrons are actually the only race in the galaxy that have even a clue what a BSF can actually do.

-Long time no see, esteemed foe!
-WE SHALL FIGHT AND DESTROY YOU A..
-Not today
-WHAT!?
-We have just awoken and need to solve many problems for now. Sorry, we may fight another time.
-HOW DARE YOU!? WE WILL DRIVE YOU FROM THIS SECTOR!

If I am correct Eldars were genetically programed by the old ones to hate necrontyr and later - necrons.
Gotta keep your class and etiquete right?
There is a passage in Wild Rider that shows that Necrons and Aeldari worked together to contain Chaos during the War in Heaven (in addition to all other conflict known).
While the Necrons slept and some kept memories of that, the Eldar forgot through 65 000 000 years.
Although, in the same book, the two factions set aside their differences to contain a Slaanesh invasion, and after the conflict, the Necron allows the Ynnari to leave, while they remain to watch over the Crypt.

This is a better ending for humans than the Imperium campaign.
Unless the Necrons completely sealed off the Warp, preventing all Warp travel. Then humanity would be screwed, at least until someone invents/rediscovers ftl technology that doesn't use the Warp.
goff0103 yup the weebway is the right way XD. Still ftl travel is possible without the warp, sadly humanity has forgotten about it.
Disaster for the Eldar though, collapse of the eye of terror means no crone worlds, no new spirit stones.

To be fair, it's easy to be patient when your perception of time is much faster than a Human's. To a Human, 100 years can be a lifetime or more. To a Necron, a century is barely any time at all.
'Like space marines but taller'. That right there. That's why Necrons are my favourite xenos. xD
By the way, did anyone notice, how at 1:54:13, not only the Eye of Terror itself is closed, but the entire structure of the very spacetime, where this gigantic bleeding wound of reality once existed, returns back to normal, non-warped three-dimensional Euclidean topology? Looks like Necron technology can truly fix what Formless Horror has done to the galaxy, not merely patch it over. All hail Amarkun the Gatherer (Amarkun the Savior by now, probably) and Nepheru Dynasty!
caav56 ALL HAIL AMARKUN THE SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE!!!
Honestly, I think everyone comes out ahead in this scenario if we just let the Necrons win. The Imperium could stand to sacrifice a single sector if it meant the Eye of Terror was closed. Of course, even suggesting that would be counted as heresy.
@@SpartanSniper3 Without the Eye of Terror, the Cicatrix Maledictum is very likely to collapse too, making the reunion between Imperium Nihilus and the Imperium proper very easy.
@@caav56 true. And it would set back the forces of chaos with a blow it may never recover from. Without an easy hole into the materium, most of the chaos forces will have to spend centuries just to break out of the warp. The Imperium will have a massive burden lifted from it's shoulders and can focus on more immediate problems and dedicate new forces to fighting more pressing foes. Imagine the troops and supplies that can be freed up now!
@@SpartanSniper3 Yeah. There are still Maelstrom and the Screaming Vortex, though, but yes, none of them are as remotely bad as the Eye of Terror. And, with the Dark Throne brought online and having undergone testing with such a great result, there's a possbility of more second-generation Pylon technology getting created now, which can be used to collapse them too.

Isn't it weird that the race consisting of literal Machines are more "Human" than the actual humans that worship Machines?
I mean the Adeptus Mechanicus behave like emotionless robots, but the Necrons are ambitious individuals with knowledge of things like honor, vengeance and fear.
Its probably because the necrons nobles still have most of their sentience and are actually trying to stop being machines.
Furthermore they have a different point of view when it comes to tech : Necrons see it as a tool which allows you to achieve greater things, while the mechanicus see it as old knowledge and as an example as to what you should be like.
It is between reasonable ancient materialists with proper manners vs. bunch of young conservative and rude spiritualists who has forget and forbid innovation. The old materialists are actually trying to make things work and fix their mistakes, while the young spiritualists pray that everything runs themselves because they now worship the using manual of the machines
A technologically advanced society on Mars get built probably by the most open minded and reasonable human beings such as scientists and construction workers and then descend into fanatical, conservative machine worshipping society which their ancestors probably gonna laugh their asses off if they can see it, and it is probably the most lunatic and intriguing idea of science fiction. At the same time, having a bunch of ancient relics awaken from the past and actually looking towards the future instead strangle themselves in the present is another amazing thing. Which is just why both necron and adeptus mechanics are awesome.
It is also irony that Necron is being extremely cultivated and at least show respect on formal situation by calling their opponent “esteemed/honored foe” while Imperium faction is running around calling everyone else degenerate heretics and Aeldari keeps being Aeldari which is just gay.
@@GGWP-gm5cq I think that is meant to portray more bleakness within Humanity's eyes. The Few People that are "Entrusted" with Technology have no idea how to use it and constantly forget what those technologies are, having to slap things into shape and even slap things together on the fly and call it something useful. On Top of that they've forbidden any new technology to be made out of fear due to the Taboos of Chaos and especially the Dark Mechanicum. One more thing that I find interesting is that the Necrons don't seem bothered - or much of the other races in 40k for that matter- that they aren't actively improving their technology or their understanding, bar maybe the Tau, but those are more complicated reasons than the Imperium, who are actively trying to save as much technology but end up hoarding it and never using it, ultimately ending up as either bargaining chips and/or leverage for petty political squabbles when the species is at stake for everything and anything. That too also horribly reflects humanity in an eerily close way, reflecting more bleakness

@@klonoaguntz8309 Tyranids? They actually are the biggest losers here because Necrons aren't organic. They can't be eaten.
In fact, Tyranids actively fear them and run from them.
@@valtersplume3726 Not fear per se because Tyranids aren't emotional in that way. Rather, Tyranids run on cost-benefit analysis: they only take actions if they calculate that they will end the conflict with more biomass than when they started.
The problem with Necrons has many facets, but there are two that come to mind immediately. Firstly, as you said, they cannot be consumed. It's been established that Tyranids cannot process Necrodermis, and as such they can never replenish lost biomass from defeated enemy forces: that's half the biomass from the aftermath of a battle, lost. Further, even if Tyranids were to try to consume Necrodermis, it would simply phase out of their claws or even out of their very stomachs, and return to be repaired and reconstituted back into more Necron Warriors. Second, Necron Gauss Weaponry completely eradicates matter at the atomic level: there is nothing left behind of the target, and as such Tyranids cannot even recycle their own dead: that's the other half of bioass from the aftermath of a battle, also lost.
Meaning that every single battle fought between Necrons and Tyranids will _always_ be a net loss of biomass for the Tyranids, as they can neither consume the fallen enemy nor recycle their own fallen troops. Worse, while Tyranid losses cannot be replenished and they will continuously lose resources, fallen Necrons can be salvaged near-indefinitely, to be repaired and sent back into combat. The Tyranids simply cannot win that war of attrition.
Pretty much it's just not worth it for Tyranids to fight Necrons. They go out of their way to avoid them because it makes no logical sense to engage them: it's immense risk for virtually no reward, and even if they do win a conflict with a Necron force, they still lose in the long run as they've exhausted far more biomass than they've harvested. Tyranids _need_ to consume, and they need to consume more than they burn up to live. Without sufficient resource intake, they will eventually starve to death.
The writers get big credit from me for making Huron Blackheart the end boss instead of Failbaddon. He's a far better leader and more ruthless instead of the Saturday morning cartoon flavor of the other guy.
What I think I love most is just the idea of Abaddon being killed by some random Necron. Like he is ten thousand years old, has caused the deaths of trillions of humans for no other reason than his ego and enslaved just as many. He represents perhaps one of the Imperium’s greatest and most ever present foes. Without question, he alone is one of humanities greatest enemies.
and then he gets killed by some random metal skeleton.
If this death was actually cannon it would probably be one of the most hilariously underwhelming way the BBEG has been killed.
TBH, Necrons are millions of years old and caused much more deaths
And the most appropriate.
I find his death in the Tyranid campaign to be more chucklesome. Abaddon and his followers cancelled the 13th Black Crusade, and cowered in the Eye of Terror. His end was ultimately brought upon him because he wouldn't stop Hellbreed from doing a Leroy Jenkins straight towards the closest hive fleet, thus revealing his location. I like to think that his final thoughts was “Maybe I should have gotten some smarter henchmen” as his ankles are getting nibbled on by some hormagaunts.
Here lies Abbadon,he died as he lived.As a joke compare to Horus.
Necrons poked Chaos right in the Eye of Terror.
With an anti-warp machine 😂😂

57:44 Maybe I'm missing something here, but what exactly do the Tyranids gain by attacking Necrons? They're inedible. The Tyranids stand only to lose biomass by attacking them. I was under the impression they actively avoided encounters with Necrons whenever possible.
Probably, either from shitty connection to the main Hive Mind or as some sort of an experimental preventive maneuver. Much easier to deal with organics, when you don't have crazy-ass ancient Egyptian robotic undeads after your fleshy ass.
Maybe because they see the Necrons as a threat, just like they do with Chaos. After all, if someone is trying to destroy your food source then you will take great exception to that.
I think it's more of a case of the Tyranids wanting the planets the Necrons were on, or just destroying them as collateral as they passed through their space on their hunt for biomass.
caav56 they’re using fucking windows I am sure because that would be the only logical explanation

So I know you probably busted your ass recording all of this and stuff but I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for doing this Mister, like theres usually always those dudes where when a DLC get's released you get the usual ALL cutscenes thing like a literal day later (aka what ive been waiting for since the Chaos DLC got released) but so far we dont have much, so thank you so much again for doing these!
Huh, We Should Thank the Necrons for Closing that Stupid Rift thats been causing mayhem to the imperium of man kind :D
Helios Orion You can tks us by
kneel.
@@manhphuc4335 I for one welcome our undead robot overlords.
Yeah... Also for annexing the whole Cadian sector for themselves, annihilating infinite number of imperial fleets, killing both ancient admiral Spire and a recently reborn Primarch, and the destruction of the biggest and deadliest of humanity's space ships which is the Phalanx.
@@Prushinthespirit imperium fanboy detected
Прушин Тень They have been there 65000000 years earlier already. I guess it's their right to take it. I am also a Necron btw. ;)
A Necron Phaeron who gives anyone and everyone the opportunity to back off and walk away. A rarity by not just necron standards, but by 40k standards
He is one of those Necrons that didn't mind anyone walking away and won't hunt them down.
Really appreciate you taking the time to edit and make these videos!
I totally feel bad for that guy! I know exactly what it feels like to be a competent leader under incompetent leadership!
just realized, with this ending, emps can get off the golden throne as the webway breach would seal up, and he can fix humanities ftl problem, would however be upset that some of his sons died and well the state of his imperium.
Given the circumstances emp would exhale a sigh of relief and feel no pain for a brief instant at last.
@@danielavalsangiacomo6691i wonder if he might be able to regenerate now as well.
See, this is so much better than just the traditional cutscenes, most of the game's best dialog is during battle!
I cannot wait to see one for Chaos!!! Absolutely fine work, fine work indeed!!!!
Great stream, Game Movie! I really appreciated how you made all those efforts you did by zooming around and showing different camera angles to make things look more cinematic rather than just the top-down view of playing the game -- and that you showed everything that was needed but didn't loiter too long to draw things out. Definitely a great watch!
Kephrekh: "I will not have my wisdom questioned by a grovelling cryptek! You will remain silent."
Zaa: "..."
Just goes to show how well designed the game is.
14:51 you can feel Zaa's inner nerd rage without him saying a single word. This is glorious
Oh thank you. Someone finally uploaded the cutscenes of the heroes.
"Perhaps I should set loose the Flayed Ones, just to be entirely certain."
Just a friendly reminder that Cadia broke before the Guard did :3
i like how the necrons sound, its so perfect- electronic and hollow.
The Thousand son Wizard calling the necrons :
"foolis
h
automatons" xD
(thousand sons have no body left and are only armors controlled by their souls)
I can already imagine the reaction of Amarkun like Schwarzenegger in Total Recall : "Lol who's Talking ?" x'D
Be polite
Be efficient
Have a plan to close the Eye of Terror
29:29 DO YOU, FILTHY XENOS, KNOW HOW MUCH TIME AND RESOURCES IT TOOK TO BUILD THAT THING?!
No, and I'm afraid, human, that we do not care.
Valters Plūme Gaze upon the Phalanx’s destruction, gaze and rejoice for service fulfilled.
Not more than building the Dark Throne, the last true hope of the galaxy to get saved from the Formless Horror.
Haha gauss cannon go *_brrrrrrrr_*
Not our fault you didn’t build more
Closing the Eye of Terror is just Necrons way of dabbing on the haters.
Goddamn! Why are the NECRONS the absolute best faction to watch? Amarkun is actually a pretty good leader, and not a complete asshole. Zaa, isn't planning anything big, he just wanted a competent leader, and Amarkun fit the bill. Amarkun doesn't give a shit about anything save protecting his dynasty, and does not show unnecessary cruelty. Only taking the mantle of leadership when it became clear his leader was too paranoid and foolish, having endured the threat of disintegration if he should make the pettiest of failures for so long...showing a good sense of loyalty, tempered by reason as he did eventually take up arms when it became all too clear what dark road was being tread. With his devotion to maintaining the dynasty remaining stalwart...what the actual hell, why is this immortal and supposedly evil xeno doing being more human than the godsbedamned Imperium of Man?!
He even beats down Chaos HARD, pushed back the Orks, bitch slapped some Eldari imbeciles...hell, someone let Alfa know, I want this magnificent skelly bastard to join TTS! Him and the Emperor would get along great, and hell, imagine how well Zaa would get along with Magnus and Kitten, being a curious and knowledgable sort who likes learning new things and wants nothing but the better for his dynasty!
The inquisition shall take such a statement under advisement.
Amen i've been waiting for this for some time thanks bruv :D
Can you imagine the necrons emerging during the age of strife?
That would have just been the turd cherry on a crap sundae.
Zaa's voice gives me shivers. Positively
I really hope Amarkun shows up in the Text-to-Speech universe at some point. There's a lot of comedic potential in a foe whose none the less incredibly polite, even as he's plotting your species doom,.
I can imagine many of the other 40k characters being put off guard or not knowing how to react. _"His words are cordial but his intent is murderous."_
TBF, Amarkun wouldn't have cared for the Imperium, if not for them trespassing the space of Nepheru Dynasty and sabotaging operations of the Dark Throne. He did tell Huron, that he doesn't care about what's going on outside of Nepheru's space.
Absolutely awesome
I like how well-mannered Amakan is, "Honored Foe", "Esteemed Enemy", he is always like "We will meet you in battle according to war protocol". He always asks nicely to surrender or come to agreement before resolving to violence, he doesn't want to commit war crimes as it is beneath his honor. Some Necrons sound like they'd tolerate humans on their worlds cause "We are superior to you in any way primitives, but you can't help what you are, here, have this continent and know our benevolence." By standards of GrimDark 40k this sounds like the most genuine nicety, compared to Eldar who are only nice when it is beneficial to them or Tau who only use you only to depopulate you when you're not needed, necrons soud like they would have some kind of "mantle of responsibility".
Honestly, I always took it as a characteristic which falls to each individual. Some are polite, and wish to just exist, while others seem to be ideologicaly against the other racesm
@@lollikabosso.w.n7153 The issue with Necrons is that some of them have no will of their own, some have partial free will and some others have a full free will, but sitting in a coffin for 65 million years kinds screws the mind. So we don't know if Amakan really was like that or is it data corruption.
It's canon that after the Necrons were ordered to go to sleep to wait out the rise and fall of the Eldar, the Triarch Praetorians stayed active, and a lot of them would actually go around the galaxy to make contact with primitive species and teach them Necrontyr culture to both prepare for the planned return of the Necrons, and more importantly as a extra layer of safety in the case that the Eldar find and destroy enough tomb worlds.
@@fadelsukoco3092 I have NEVER seen that piece if lore. Where did you read that????
@@berilsevvalbekret772 The section on the Lexicanum wiki that says that about them is cited to be from the 5th edition Necron codex.
Lets just remember they save the universe just because some archeologists messed up their power nap
This is the most well edited playthrough I've ever seen.
The Silent King returns. All Necrons unite, our KING has returned.
*soisoisoisoisoi*
And our warcry is SOI SOI SOI.
Only Imotekh the Stormlord is worthy to rule!
*Imotekh the Stormlord wants to know your location*
The Crown Guard recognize the true king and bow before him. May all pretenders cast themselves at his feet and acknowledge his right to rule, or be destroyed by his legion like all before.
*Robotic wheezing*
"G... Gaze upon this!"
*Robotic wheezing*
"I cannot see a thing!"
You can’t fathom the euphoria this has given me! I just got into 40K and the Necrons are my favourites by far. And I finally get to see the moment the famous quote was said by Trazyn the Infinite, “I have in my possession a tesseract labyrinth of quite humorous extent.”
8:36 "Scour the infestation from the universe, servant!" "Will do! Butuhm...won't that wake up the guys who can kick our ass effortlessly?" "Hey man, they'll be looking for you, not me. Staying outta this." "I hate you so much right now."
Well if the eldar emipre didnt murder fuck slaanesh into existance that statement would be accurate
You really put a lot of effort into those Videos. Really great work.
39:00 One potential for the Necrons and Eldars to finally make peace, ruined by the Eldar's pride.
-let me through and i will benefit all
-no
-**loads weapon systems** shame
When humanity doesn’t understand a useful ally.
"Greetings esteemed foe". That line is hilarious for acknowledging an ancient enemy you haven't seen in eons loooool
they're the same guys who drop a tyranids swarm on the phalanx just for laughs
Anything With a pulse: *silence*
Necrons: "checkmate, fleshbag"
" its need to be protect again the eldari til it can defend it self "
aaw , just like a small child
The Necrons can behave suprisingly...well, alive. They can even be sarcastic it seems. I like that
That's what happens, when biotransference goes properly enough and their mind stays intact enough for long enough. But, unfortunately, unless there's some way to reverse the biotransference and get the souls back (and then perform biotransference again, but without C'tan eating souls this time and into higher-quality bodies), their mind engrams will degrade over time, slowly, but surely, until every Necron becomes all-but-Severed. Though, with Chaos out of the equation, hopefully, a solution can be found for that now.
C'tan: "K'tan" or "S'tan"? Oh...Satan. Gotcha. ;)
‘That wasent as planned' tzeentch told me that before the eye disappeared
Trazyn is such a cheeky bastard, gooood I love him so much
Thank you for makeing this. It must have takken a while .
Now I hope that Amarkum appears on Text-to-Speech.
If there’s ever an end times, the Necrons deserves to be the ultimate winner. They are the only one that make sense to win. They are the only who can wipe the taint of Chaos clean from the Materium, the only one that can shut down the Tyranid Hive Mind, the only one that have the strength and power to rule. The Aeldari’s time have passed, Mankind’s has lost it’s second chance to reach their golden age.
Ukani's scream make the eldar's sound manly
I love how Amarkun speaks so poetically most of the time. Then in the final time he meets Trazyn, he just flat out goes "What do you want?"
I believed that the guy that we trap deep beneath the Mars is that DOOM boi
Well, the BFG9000 and 10k fire green energy, so maybe they're already reaching the Void Dragon's good shit. Samuel Hayden seems like a good candidate for Fabricator-General, honestly.
The fact the one Necron calls another one "old" is simply hysterical xD
"A revolting process, even by the standards of flesh" 1:02:08
By far the most difficult battle in the Necron campaign imo.
