Over the Christmas weekend my friends and I played a 40k Horde mode made by poorhammer. It was basically four 500 point armies vs 5th faction that periodically spawns in reinforcements. I was the attacker because I have so many Necron models. T5 I rolled so well on my reinforcements that I spawned in all 4 ctan. It was hilarious.

Good'ol Szarekh is the only necron to solo a full fledged C'tan and win. It was the buring one, who is currently imprisoned and eternally tourtured as the battery of his dias. He also has taken the burning one's power for himself as well. Don't think there are really any other figures that could contend at all.

The necrons have examples of necrontyr, I am beating my head against the wall to remember the book but it was a HUGE plot point in one of the more recent novels. A necron lord was maintaining a stasis chamber that still held their living necrontyr sibling. Please someone help me remember the book it's going to drive me nuts.

"The Silent king exterminated species that were threats to his people" Brick and DK: *Aww, good wholesome king* "The Emperor exterminated species that were threats to his people" Brick and DK: *Nooo! Evil stupid tyrant!*

It's funny that they mentioned Fullmetal alchemist since Alphonse is basically a necon. Especially the whole, "I must scream but don't have any lungs"

So if the silent king is 'just a big Necron' does that make him the primarch of Necrons?

Another thing to keep in mind is the whole myth around the Silent King might not be him sucking himself off but other dynasties sucking him off instead. While a lot of dynasties do hate him and will never listen to him there's also just as many that will drop whatever they're doing the second he asks something of them. Honestly really funny imagining a dynasty saying all this shit to him and the king just goes Ciaphas Cain mode saying "haha yeah I definitely subjugated whole galaxies while you were asleep for you all and they definitely didn't get all devoured by Tyranids. Just for the sake of nostalgia tho let's try *really* hard to preserve this galaxy alright?"

Interesting point about the War in Heaven is the Necrontyr themselves had various names for it already. In Twice Dead King, a lot of the time they just referred to it as "the Old War" or "Szarekh's War"

Finally some Necron supremacy

It makes sense that the Silent King's Necron body wouldn't look very different than most of the others, to the C'tan that formed it, he wasn't important, just another morsel on their plates. If anything, the differences that are there are an insult, marking him as the one who threw his people's souls away while also getting the point across that he's no different in their eyes

Here for it. Feel like codexs should double as a art book. Like GW hire alot of talented artists, but it always felt like they need more than what we are seeing.

55:00 To be honest the Silent King did destroy both the Old Ones AND the C'tan at their PRIME. The boy was defeating Gods, before god's existed.

The problem with a (Pre-Necron) Necrontyr "face-reveal" is that it is nearly implied that the C'tan erased the memory of the Necrontyr as a physical people from time itself when they swore alliegiance. People who see glimpses of the time 2-1 billion years ago before the War in Heaven report the blurred haziness as a silhouette of the Necron's physical body. Trazyn even comments that he cannot recover the memory of what he looked like during the Time of Flesh in the Infinite and the Divine. All he sees is a finger clutching a quill, or the reflection of a dark eye in the mirror.

With the Silent King traveling to other galaxies, it's possible he didn't travel all the way to a neighboring major galaxy. The milky way has multiple small satellite galaxies, which theoretically could harbor life especially in the context of 40k. Could be that he has basically cleared all those out and the tyranids are coming in from a more distant major galaxy.

DK: Necrons have been asleep for hundreds of years. Me: facepalming

I like how everybody forgets the reason Celestial Orrery isn't used is just the crazyness of Crypteks that guard it. They have the whole Orusckar dynasty actively protecting it from another dynasty fullbent on destroyer cult and all they do is OBSERVE the galaxy. There is a short story called "Bleeding stars" ny Robert rath depicting Trazyn visiting them and spoiler - punching the main cryptek in his stupid ocular

There should REEEEEEALLY be a "Crusade" section or specific army builder in app for those who play. It'd make things so much easier to have it all in one place with the xp gains, Scars, honors, specific army Agendas, etc. Like? Please? GW? Something?

My two cents on the Silent King's look is this; I think it's a fun idea to play around with the idea of a guilty king who stripped away his ostentation. Like he kinda looks like an ordinary necron, but there's an edge to him where you know he's not just an ordinary necron. But the look they went for him is ostentatious without really making him seem as special as you'd expect for the leader of an entire faction. Idk, it's kinda midway there.

That bit about the Pariah Nexus kind of soulkilling the people within it explains more about the survivors seen in the Pariah Nexus show

Little fan theory I have: when you look at old pics of the Eye of Terror, there was always that little gash in the middle of it like someone took a slice out of a cake. I assume that's roughly where Cadia was. My thinking is that when Cadia fell and the pylons were destroyed, it was the last of the Eye's chains being released. The Eye of Terror as we know was caused by the birth of Slaanesh. The great rift, I think, wasn't caused by some rebounding from the death of Cadia. The great rift is what the Eye of Terror was supposed to be. The giant fuck-off tear in reality would have been a day 1 thing were it not for the blackstone pillars keeping it contained to the Eye.

Raycons are absolute trash, it’s not cool that you’re repeating their misleading marketing verbatim. I understand you’ve got pay the bills but surely there’s a better way? Thanks for your work and your content though. Yes I’m a patron.

I'm surprised Shy didnt have a "Bricky says 'Imperium' rather than 'Immaterium'" counter

45:50 it's crazy to think that the silent king could have an insanely long history with the tyranids. like he could have counquered multiple other galaxies only to lose them all in some crazy war with the nids.

Whelp. It's settled. Szaerekh is officially the best character in 40k. Like, what a fuckin gigachad. Especially compared to the Emperor. Big E couldn't even make his own empire without brutal subjugation of his own people, a doctrine that stifles ad just ensures that more would turn to chaos. He practically set the frame work of the imperium where humanity is only prosperous at the cost of humanity itself. Meanwhile, Szaerekh upon seeing his mistake not only rallies his people together to kill their "masters", but after doing so gets up and goes to other galaxies to conqeur all without (intentionally) putting his people at risk to ensure his people's prosperity in the long term.

The pariah nexus is literally the colorless deep fog from Demon’s Souls.

They aren't rusted, the silent kings dynastic colors are brass/bronze

22:45 I forget which game it was, it was one of the fleet-management ones, but if you play as the Necrons and win you get a cutscene of the Necrons closing the Eye of Terror like it was nothing.

That one Nihilakh art kinda looks to me like the nobility punishing dissidents or something. Maybe some basic rank-and-file regained sentience and those green orbs that the crypteks are putting in them are a fix for that.

Technically speaking, it's possible we STILL don't have a clue what a Necrontyr's real face looks like, because the skull-shaped heads of the Necrons could simply represent the death-masks that the death-obsessed Necrontyr might have worn as part of their everyday cultural fashion.

The thing about Pariah's was it was implied that was something Necrons manipulated into newer races who spawned, making them more like the Necrontyr. It's quite possible the Necrontyr were very similar to humanity, but more sickly and withered looking due to less healthy bodies and souls.

This ep is feeling more special to me now, got a late gift from my girlfriend which was a guardsman style backpack that had the adpettus ridiculous flag and a I'm a tank hoodie in it but there's one cherry on top that sweetens it all, not sure how she did it but she got a signed postcard by our boy Bricky with a wreath around his head looking majestic

I like the idea of necron’s daily garb including a funeral mask. For a race obsessed with death and constantly fearing their own it seems appropriate that you would dress for the grave. You could at any point drop death either from disease or assassination attempt.

I like the Celestial Orrery, I hope it stays in the lore. And if the Silent King went outside the galaxy and conquered other places, could that mean that the Tyranids might've been created by a species outside the Milkyway as a form of vengeance?

37:59 bricky did NOT just imply necronthyr were femboys

Warhammer 40k reaching out to other galaxies and telling us there are more lives there is such a massive lore bomb. Considering the Orks, mechanicus and event like War in heaven, imagine what crazy stuff is happening there

Took a shot everytime DK said 'like'. I'm at ER right now. Diagnosis looks grim.

Another episode to paint my bi-sexual-light necron army >:3

"Silent king looks a little feminine. Its before biotransferance" THE SILENT QUEEENN!!!

He doesn't actually mean that the Slient King went to other galaxies. There are stars and planets and such outside the milkyway that aren't part of any galaxy. As well as smaller clusters of starts and dwarf galaxies. It might simply be referancing void empires between the galaxies he was dealing with and he never actually made it to another galaxy.

All the talk about the silent King being the tall one makes me want to make a custom Invader Zim themed Necron army

Yeah i cant lie DK's nonchalant passing over of the fact that the silent king has been to other galaxies and has carved out a new area fir his race as they slept kinda had me going DK my boy please use the hampster in between your ears lol

The "War of Aeons" can be read one of two ways: as a reference to a measure of time, and as a description of powerful celestial beings. Allow me to explain. Gnosticism is...a lot. We don't have time to explain the Real Life religious movement that was Gnosticism. The relevant bit is that in Gnostic cosmology, there is a Source - the closest thing to True Divinity - from which all else emanates. These emanations, at their highest orders, are the Aeons. At the same time quasi-deities and abstract concepts, that exist in spiritual reality. According to the Gnostics, the lowest of the Aeons made a mistake. "Got too silly", you might say, and committed a sin. That sin created the Demiurge, the creator of the physical world as we know it. Because the Demiurge was ignorant, arrogant, and otherwise flawed, he created the world wrong, making it a prison for human souls. It's kind of fitting that the Necrontyr - who lived short and miserable lives of hard labor, sickness, and social stratification - would conceive their world similar to the Gnostics. A terrible prison, crafted by an evil creator. And that the only rational response, aside from trying to escape their frail and flawed bodies, would be to rise to the heavens and kill the gods. (In this case, the Old Ones are arguably the Aeons, and the Ctan are arguably the Archons, servants of Demiurge and jailkeepers for mortal souls. It's not a perfect metaphor.)

Honestly the codexes should just be lore and art and the rules for the game should be free. As it stands it's a confusing mess of what is and is not free.

In tonight's episode of the Ridiculous Tour: Bricky shows us his favourite halloween mask! DK explains in exacting detail the perfect skincare routine, including 5 special techniques you have never heard of (number 3 will shock you!) And Shy opens up a new segment, Cooking with Shy! Where the best 40k recipes will be broken down into bitesize, easy to follow steps. Today, it's how to render two adult humans into the perfect corpse-starch loaf! All this, after the break!

40:51 that image reminds me of Necron OCs I saw. Which was a two brothers. Who were confirmed twins. And when became necrons. They were still stuck together

Idea: Necron Pariahs but instead of human blanks the unit is made of Blackstone Necrons

The info on the Silent King makes me wonder if GW are trying to give themselves a path forward when previous lore painted certain factions as too powerful. Like, here's the first step of the Necrons returning to flesh, but then they can't reanimate so they get an instant nerf. Curious to see if the Tyranid book has anything similar.

The necron codex talking about how the silent king was fighting other planets beyond the milky way raises up a lot of questions GW will never be bold enough to touch. And it puts a lot of legitimacy of the tyranids at risk. For one, him just casually being outside and fighting others means the milky way isn't the last galaxy standing. There's more than what the tyranids have eaten. For another, it means there isn't a greater threat that forced the tyranids to us. If so, the Silent King would know about it and wouldn't be so afraid of the tyranids, but this threat following them. Don't get me wrong, I like that they are building up the necron king of all kings up more, but they put a different faction's barely existing lore into a spot.

Imagine thinking FMA Brotherhood being better than the first one is a controversial statement

Why before you said he was in his battleship I imagined szerek hovering around a galaxy like MODOK zapping massive ships like a nuclear bumblebee

Fullmetal Alchemist is insanely dark on the surface, but if you read between the lines it's close to 40k levels of dark but on a much smaller population scale

One thing I find weird about the codex as someone new to playing Necrons, is that there is no official art or photography of the Nephrehk dynasty. Every other official dynasty has photography in the book or online but there is basically nothing for Nephrehk. And that just makes me want to paint them evem more 😂

FMA is amazing! I need to do a re-watch… also agree that Brotherhood is the best… though the original started well. Hear the argument that Brotherhood is meant to be watched after the original. I plan to test that theory.

My favorite part of the Pariah Nexus show was GW expecting me to take the name "Sa'kan" seriously. Sa'kan deez nuts lmao

Pretty sure Bricky said "Imperium" over and over again when discussing the "Immaterium" and blackstone's effect on it. I know accuracy isn't the point, but that's a pretty big distinction

Admittedly i havent seen this in the new Necrons codex but wondering how theyll make this an hour long episode?

(bad to the bone riff)

Bricky acting like he helped Poorhammer while he's making their objective markers too small. That's a galaxy brain move right there 🤣🤣🤣

54:45 Not one of the strongest physically? The man cut a warlord titan in half by himself!

I cant beleave Briky did not mention that Zahndrekh and Obyron no longer have rules, and there was a whole twitter drama of fans missing their favorite necron Quijote and Sancho

Can confirm. Brotherhood is infinitely better. Also man they Really are leaning into the dementia of the Necrons. Also silent king is Definitely giving me Lawful Evil vibes. Definitely Lawful Evil.

*This post was archived by Trazyn the Infinite*

I would say if you're going to watch. One Watch brotherhood, but if you wanna see both watch the first one thin brotherhood.

On the point of Szarekh's design being underwhelming, I'm starting to agree, especially now that I look at his model next to the new Imotekh. Imotekh overall looks so much fancier and looks more like royalty. His head is more or less the standard Overlord head, but he's got a nice cloak, the big ornate mantle and trim along his chest, and the drape that's definitely not overcompensating. Meanwhile Szarekh does have the biggest and most over-the-top headpiece, and the fanciest of cloaks, he doesn't have the big mantle, doesn't really have the trim, he's lanky, and while his drape is extra ribbed for her pleasure, it leaves much to be desired. If the Szarekh was average height and you put both designs in front of me with no prior knowledge, I'd assume Imotekh was the head honcho and Szarekh was a cocky prince.

Actually the sleep probably saved most of their number's minds. If all of them were awake for that 60 million years , most likely majority of them would have driven insane. The only necrons who were awake were Szarekh and his barely sentient crew on Song of Oblivion and a small number of Praetorians who were awake to keep an eye on the galaxy. In Twice Dead Kings we see the nobility starts to unravel even before War in Haven ends. Necrons are bound to a slow painful degredation and death. This is why Szarekh is so desperate. And this is why while I love Imotekh (and he has my vote in the upcoming necron civil war) he NEEDS to look into the fact that his people WILL eventually completely degrade...himself included. I don't think that an EXACT replica of a necrontyr face but a sarcophagus's lid. A Phaeron's grave gilded and depicted as such. That beard thing is just an artistic choice on a mask I think I don't think he went all on his own and conquered ENTIRE galaxies it is ridiculous. I think its at best the dwarf galaxies sorruounding milky way. Also the fact that it shows certain parts of this myths is straight up lie since technomandrites fucking HATES Szarekh and PRETEND subsercience. They want the bastard dead who stuck them in prison for 60 million years in prison for DOING WHAT HE ASKED.

Speaking of Fullmetal Alchemist if ever Bricky will watch it.... as far as I know in terms of Anime Production in Fullmetal Alchemist(2003) The author of the Manga(Japanese Comic book) cannot catch up on Anime Productions so the Anime Studio just made-up their own version of the Ending the show just felt incomplete.... Meanwhile Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood(2009) the author of the manga already finish writing the story. So the Anime Studio made it as loyal as what is in the manga. The show is much more complete, tied up loose ends. And it is what the author intended it to be

When the Silent King meets Dante, he’s described as appearing larger, more elegant and robust than other necrons. He supposedly appears to have a fuller body than the rest of the necrons’ skeletal ones. So to have him pop back up as a model that’s an overlord with a few more flashy bits on him was a bit underwhelming, at least for me. I wasn’t expecting a necron primarch but something a bit beefier and more intricate than the regular nobles at least

I wonder if The Silent King stuffed up yet again by taking down threats in other galaxies. By subjugating or destroying empires, it would leave those galaxies as defenceless buffets for the Tyranids, in turn making them grow.

The smaller codex is just a sign of the times. Comapnies charging you more for less. Older editions of almost any table top or other works that need creativity are objectively better than current products.

You can't spell RAYCON without "con" - all you need to know. Just get Sennheisers, Bose or JBLs something for a similar price.

I've already read the book like 5 times! I've read I for the fifth time for the book club! Give me book club! I wanna hear about the old man from someone with a personality!

34:00 I mean that's the thing, DK. The other necrons are burdened with insanity. The silent king is burdened with perfect, unceasing, terrible, awful clarity of mind. For all time.

It's sounds like he went to the warp. "Uncivilized realms of horror and madness" sounds like the realms of chaos. Maybe he helped make the forge chaos god.

I get the perspective of wanting it on your phone, i worry the moment it goes on the phone they will stop putting books out to save on costs and we'd then get a SIGNIFICANT amount less art in general so I accept the old ways because it preserves some of the things we saw more often back then too like frequent art

I want alchemus ridiculous. Where D.K takes Bricky through Full metal Alchemist.

Actually, if humans with no soul are blanks, shouldn't all necrons by default be blanks as well? Shouldn''t they repell immaterium just by exisitng?

Woooo, Necrons getting some love about time. And it sounds like the Silent King may some worlds ready for the Necron if they leave the galaxy.

What if the Tyranids came to the Milky Galaxy because of the Silent King...

Technomandrites getting thrown in jail for second-rate shaboingery

Bricky gets how it should be. Bring the older codex styles back.

An hour of Ancient Egyptian Space Terminator supremacy is just what I need before going to bed.

Also next episode is war in heaven I'm calling now.

Sometime DK's reactions to thing physically hurt me

Pariahs were also featured Dawn of War: Dark Crusade! I had always wondered what happened to them...

The Pylons in the one photo look eerily similar to special trees

Also, Ego Stroking or Not, The Silent King is a way better Dad then the Emperor could've hoped to be, ever!

I enjoyed this laidback episode ~! If you do anymore campaign setting delve episodes the Taros campaign would be great ~!

Pipes falling = peak humor Mandatory laugh time

So topical considering the codex bombshell they just dropped today for canoptek court

silent king...He's just a bigger guy.

Let’s be honest: if you were an Old One and a guy with the looks from that thumbnail asked you to perpetuate that face, you would not agree either.

The codex situation shows how outta touch the people at J.W are.

To me it would make sense for necrons to use masks and full body garbs and for them to seem slim and flimsy because of their aweful radiation filled existence.

poorhammer shoutout LETSGOOOOO

I guess I never really realized how much The Silent King loves his people. It makes the story of the Necrons even MORE heartbreaking 😢

for cover art i would go with dark tomb with just a bit of light where you can see throne with overlord in middle with eyes that look like he just regained conciousness with two immortals bodyguards next to him and in front of him just necron shadows that stand there like teracot army with few shadows showing signs of damage like broken skull missing pauldron etc.

Press Right, Left, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Right. The new cheat code for the Necron as old as time itself. To get a extra life.

We're live baby! On my way to Japan. Probably gonna visit the WH Cafe while I'm there

Szarekh the silly little guy
