40k Lore, Necron Destroyers! If i Can Not Live, Neither Shall You! 

STIMULATION!

Except the ones who want to ascend to godlike energy being status, I wonder if there is as well a faction who is comfortable in their necrodermis and has just made their bodies capable of simulating or emulating the things that keep an organic mind calm, like breathing, feeling well fed etc, maybe that's just some people's homebrew dynasties.

@@Maskof7eyes2 well... in the 40 universe thing the whole 'god' status is not so much being a pure enrgy blob or such so much as ...hoarding..tranfesring..inter weaving ? or something.. yourself to imaterium ..stuffs... though in that event you also start become a bit of a subject to that whole ''can only project yourself as a entity to a x point without starting to be lees an entity and more a pocket piece of reality that needs more minds to worship you or so'' ..at least as far i know , since the imaterium not is supposed to just be some 'dimension of engery x' but a dimension that breaks space time and physics where 'emotional projection' can weigh as heavy like any gun

Duh

Also the reason why they often work together in many circumstances, they each see a little bit of themselves in one another and they are of a similar technological lineage seeing how they pretty much achieved everything they know from a C'tan. If the mechanicus never endured the age of strife they might be as advanced as at least a low level Necron by now. It makes me wonder if any mechanicus members have undergone full bio transference and I wonder if they kept their original augmentations but upgraded. A Necron/Mechanicus hybrid would be pretty awesome if you ask me. The flesh might be weak but it is also just as sacred to them as their mechanical parts, but hell even a regular adept just getting a necrodermis upgrade would be pretty cool. Necrodermis Space Marines would be pretty OP as well.

Not just any Lego, one left by a Mechamicus Explorer Fleet

@@Marinealver Made out of adamantine or diamantine, since plastic cannot harm metal, only something stronger than metal will damage it.

Been there.

@@FrstSpctr88 I take it you've never stepped on a Lego before, god damn things are caltrops

@@blackvial I've stepped on legos and crushed them. I've walked on glass unscathed sometimes. Now, stepling on a damn nail, *that* hurts a lot and for a fair while.

Flayers: Edward Scissorhands BUT MUCH SCARRIER. Destroyers: SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND! EXTERMINATE!!!!

some dreadnoughts share that very feeling when they are unleashed from their chambers onto an enemy not knowing who they are, when they are, who they are fighting.

@@phreakazoith2237 "When" is probably what they know the less, et the most disturbing

@@DaLkalts just point in the direction of the enemy, make way and let them serve the emperor before putting them to rest until their next engagement.

@@DaLkalts though I like the idea that they all maintain enough sanity to realize they are surrounded by their fellow battlebros and their ongoing service is treasured by their chapter and the emperor so it does not really matter if they know it's M41 or still Great Crusade.

Hey, *details.*

@@notinspectorgadget hey. Details,

@@albreal *horrified screaming*

I

I love how Arch is apparently secretly a xeno, as it is possible for him to put his socks on the wrong feet.

Necrons: We fight enemies that make gods for weapons. Your tank is no god.

Ratling snipers take your position! Watch for fat metallic dudes with enormous weapons for arms and target the sparkling green parts from a safe distance! One good shot will be enough. fair and legal.

Imperial guard in the distance: move the line *sounds of a bunch of bane blades coming in*

and 40k FDA approved!

Necron destroyers are all 2002 Stone Cold

I feel this is more a "Flayer" mentality. The ball of course being the Imperial's skull or some other mishmash of former organs and skin that resembles a ball.

@@steelgreyed No no, the flayers are all too happy to invite their friends back home, and will be wearing the best birthday suits in the imperial brigade for when they show up to the next party.

I can imagine that Metallica songs playing really loudly from speakers strapped to the Necrons.

Apocalypse Now style.

The C’tan Deceiver: “Master! Master! Master of Puppets, I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream Master! Master! Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream Master! Master!”

Flayers be like: "Craaaaawling in YOUR skin..."

@@ieuanhunt552 It would have to be pre-Black Album when the metal was fast, loud and angry.

Same thing crossed my mind

That's what I thought when I first saw the Doom Hunter.

As Frank Herbert told George Lukas after seeing the first Star Wars movie "after that you at least owe me a beer"

Yep, it has a sled and even an arm cannon. Plus its mechanical eyes look kind of similar to the Destroyer’s.

Jack Murphy Yes you’re right. The Sabaoth could also be a combat Servitor too.

................Necron lady..............comes by............ Hey there you sexy you necrodermis can. Iam not looking in your eyes. I look at your sexy reinforced frame and that BIG, POWERFUL, QUADROBARELLED gauss cannon. Isnt your name a Bender by the way? xD

I gonna build my own Necron Destroyer with BlackJack and hoo-+s!

so what's a motto nothing what a motto to you

I agree with you

“If I cannot live, neither shall anyone else”

Wasn't that Biden's campaign slogan?

How do some get over the fact they will never live in the flesh again Necron Overlord: "I am sorry I can't hear you over the sounds of my human Zoo that has been modeled after our civilization. Tryzan: "you can't healthy process turma living through another being Necron Overlord: "Says the asshole try to steal my shit." Tryzan: I never said I was processing Turma healthily. Necron overlord 2: look at those idiots, can't process the life death of our race. Alright Bob fire up that conscious transformer and strap in that piraha I got a life to live.

Yet, I can only wonder if the C'tan will nonetheless have had the last laugh. Chaos always loses to entropy.

@@mr.meadman well you see, that rule is only true in a closed system of finite energy. The 40k Universe is very much NOT a closed system, as there is a dimension of infinite energy that pours said energy into the reality. The 3rd. law of thermodynamics is truly and properly screwed here.

@@draochvar9646 oh wow, old comment. Nonetheles, you have a point. To a certain extent. The warp can only interact with the material plane when there are enough of the warp sensitive persons or artifacts in an area. Such things are still subject to change and entropy, thus the connection is temporary. Even the eye of madness is supposed to be temporary, and cannot be held open without the direct efforts of the chaos gods themselves. The continued energy output of the warp can only be maintained so long as it is not disturbed by an outside source, but as the old saying goes, "if something can go wrong, inevitably given enough time, it will go wrong." Thus, the connection to the warp at any point in the W40k universe is only a temporary setback to entropy, not a solution.

Or do it like me and have both 🤣

Agents of Gorefeild if i ever saw one

EVERYDAY IS A MONDAY, *FOR THE LAST SIXTY. FIVE. MILLION. FOOKING. YEAAARS* !!

But why evil? Why not turn into pure bliss lounging around? They're xenos why would lack of emotion turn them bad just how humans would with lack of emotion?

Everyday is monday, you're late for work, your at the bottom of the barrel of everyone's priorities, karen took the kids and got eaten by the C-tan, you've got a splitting headache and a case of phantom itching, and you haven't slept for 36 million years. excuse to stomp on puppies and make ash-pattern portraits of kittens? *GRANTED*

"Someone has a case of the Mondays." Did you really do that joke?

With a dash of columbine... jk

@@stewardgilbert8823 you're not wrong tho

At least they're willing to do the canceling themselves, not just throwing a temper tantrum.

Well, the battle cry "Exterminate" is taken.

no heavy destroyers are only offended by big things.

GW be like:

i can almost hear Heavenly or Badger saying that with an even deeper metallic voice than they did before 🤣

How about a Destroyer with a massive Lighting Arc projector? Not as damaging to individual targets, but it would be a lawnmower against an army with lots of weaker units (Gaunts, Ripper Swarms, Imperial Guard troops, Eldar Guardians, Tau, Sisters Repentia, Chaos cultists, Dark Eldar Warriors, etc)

GW is going to be doing a lot of finger snapping, so much that it is going to make the Disney retconning of Star Wars seem like mild clarification.

@@Marinealver New Sanguinius model's gonna look like Mongo Slade in power armor 😂

arch is wrong about necrons never being able to go back to being living beings though they are experimenting with that and have failed so far, but it seems that its not an impossibility Locked within the lambent glow of pulsing stasis chambers are to be found rank after rank of once sentient beings, including humans, Orks, Eldar, Tau, and a dozen others, each of which has had a Necron consciousness transferred into its mind. In each case, the body has proven too weak, or the mind too strong for the process, and the Codifier has failed, creating some hideous, mindless insane creature more terrible still than a Flayed One. its in deathwatch: the outer reach from 2012 its actually the plan of the silent king aswell, so him returning could be huge progress in that aspect hes inaccurate pretty often i have noticed, he never even mentions that it could be wrong and acts like his headcanon is always accurate if you want to actually know accurate lore, you shouldnt completely rely on arch

@@hallo-mt5tx I know that Arch makes mistakes, but I know the lore well enough to I catch most of them myself, and those that slip by are of no significance. I just like listening to Arch's videos while I work, it's good stuff.

@@hallo-mt5tx Arch admits on several occasions that he uses conjecture on his part. And has noted in the past that if he paused and said "this is what I believe" it would (a) break immersion and (b) drag out the video even more. That and, in the case of Arch saying it is an impossibility, Arch did say "never say never" and essentially that it might be possible given the setting. But, in light of the consistent failures you so helpfully outlined, I am leaning in agreement with Arch that it might just be impossible to actually succeed in such experiments. Well that and any lore person that doesn't monotonously read off of Lexicanum or the wikia will get things wrong and that (in my opinion) is boring. Personally I like Arch since he is willing to engage with the lore and give his own view on things.

Destroyers are just the Necron equivalents of Angry Marines

@@annelisemeier283 Can they *REALLY* compete with the ANGRYYYY that is ANGRY MAHRINEEE thou?

@@SwedishBroManDude *violently side eyes doomslayer*

That's kind of every necron unit. They only do heavy infantry and machines. There are the regular destroyers with anti-infantry weapons, heavy destroyers who specialize in anti-armour and the destroyer lords who are lords that are part of the Destroyer Cult. haven't watched it all yet, but details can likely be found above, in Arch's video.

I am heavy weapons guy, and this is my weapon. *CHARGES HEAVY GAUSS CANNON*

They are.

@@S71xx Wait a second! I replace your second arm then you can carry two of them instead of one!

Those are the immortals at least I think they were if dark crusade portrayed them correctly

*BFG Division plays*

@@lordvarrax5060 and they called him, the Warp Slayer

UNTIL IT IS DONE

the canonical response is "why don't you start with yourself?"

Fuck.......... I felt this

unless you get a hooker

Psychoangel she would just run away

With that attitude, certainly not. Take a page out of the Orkz' playbook and will your own reality into being by pure bull-headedness and *DETERMINATION!*

@@QixTheDS Then you didnt pay her.

Same with working all day from home while everyone else is wow quarantine so much free time

Can relate bro. College sucks balls. At the end of my first semester I developed a nasty twitch in my eye from the sheer stress these mfs put me through. Literally killing us here.

Well...if I can't love, neither shall anyone else.

"Alright alright, I think you have had enough for one night." "Life is meaningless, nothing matters. I want to die and take everything with me." "Alright. Just put the Gauss cannon down and we'll find something to blow up." "A galaxy." "No." "I wanna blow up a galaxy!" "Dial it down a bit." "...half a galaxy." "You'll get one more try." "...A sector..." "Ok, you can destroy a sector." "Heh." "Feel better?" "No, not really."

@@michelveilleux2075 brilliant 👏

"this is not a war, this is pest control"

Daleks are Superior to Destroyers in one thing. They are Superior at dying.

They fire their industrial egg-whisks, the plungers are for physical manipulating and directly choking their enemies to death, they can cause damage to inorganic parts...also, they also have personal shielding...they also learn quickly and develop more effective weapons.

@@NetMoverSitan Their shields are electric disruption based, not gravitational distortion based. IE the gauze will rip right through it as if it wasn't there. Arc shielding and Void shielding uses magnetic and gravitation technology to actually turn aside blows or absorb and release the energy. Daleks have electronically aligned atoms, it is molecules, IE technically a physical field. Gauze will punch a hole through it without losing any effectiveness due to it not even being a proper barrier. As for the plungers? Inorganic things we see it doing damage to is always pretty flimsy things. We never see them dent tank armor, and that is essentially what Necron bodies are made from. Dalek are like puppies compared to Necron. That is the whole point of 40k, crank the rediculousness up to 11 and make things from other IPs appear tame.

@@Nempo13 They're also less intimidating than the Necrons, they're basically large waste receptacles.

The Necron Wraiths make a return.

False, Warhammer fans don't have girlfriends

Honestly, I want to make Hashut a minor 40k Chaos god, the slave God of the Dark mechanics. So Hashut started as one to the big 4 (before the Fall of the Eldar) and he was the God of the machine. However during the rise of the C'tan a certain Star Vampire only known as the Void Dragon rised up as the God of the machines. Naturally this was a problem with Hashut and conflict was inevitable. Sadly for Hashut, the Void Dragon gave him such an ass whooping that put Hashut in a celestial coma. After the some time Hashut finally was able to pull himself back together only to find his place at the table was taken, and not just by someone, but by a god who's first action when coming into existence was to defeat a xeno God that defeated the very Void Dragon that smacked Hashut down. The food chain has been established and Hashut was no longer on the top of the totem poll. It now went this newcomer Slaanesh, Kaine, Void Dragon, Hashut. He was now demoted to barley more than a greater daemon. So now Hashut has to sell his services to the big 4 creating infernal machines in his soul forge. A typical transaction would be Grandfather Nurgle paying their disgraced ex-peer a visit and asking Hashut if he could make 666 million plague drones. Hashut may respond with a demand for 666 souls, in which GrandDaddy will simply grab him by the throat and threaten him if he doesn't get his plague drones he will hand him a bigger can o whoop-ass than the Void Dragon had given him in his fall. Hashut will cower and begin his work. Then Khorne will pay him a visit asking for 1 billion Blood Slaughterers, instead of making a demand of payment he will regretfully inform his better that he is already toiling for Nurgle, and if he quit now he is just as much in a problem as to earn the ire of the blood God. In which Khorne will visit Nurgle for a brief discussion, then go back to Hashut to inform him of the good news that Nurgle has reduced his order from 666 million, to 666 thousand, in which Hashut would have completed and thus is now free to work on Khorne's rage machines.

Their body can remodel itself in a limited fashion

how about a miniseries about The Fall of Orpheus?

well, they trustfully put the fate of their entire race into the hands of somebody known as the Deceiver. What does this tell you about their psychology?

@@phreakazoith2237 Well honestly it sounds familiar. Had a few run ins with some occult folks I think. Really makes you wonder why people would directly worship the devil when it's very obvious he's the problem. But more importantly, it sounds like they weren't as smart as they thought they were.

well, wraiths returned (kinda) with the Ophidian destroyers

I think its their souls they are missing ... and we know they are never getting those back lol.
