The necrons put themselves to sleep because they wanted to save their energy for whenever everything in the universe killed itself off and they were the only ones remaining so they could rebuild the universe in their image.
Because, having just two wars against gods, they had not the strenght to go to war with the Eldar. They foresaw the collapse of the surviving races... which includes humans, Eldar, Krorks (orcs) etc...... and they figured there was need to fight a war of attrition when time could fight that for them. Tldr: They did the math and the math won.
@@Alienshade according to the new lore they dont want that to happen since they need all the other lifeforms to find a way to become biological beings again.
Funny, I was just thinking today, "I wanna know more about Necrons", and poof, this appears. Uncanny. Thanks Imperial Iterator. Your content rocks. Been bingeing all month. 👍 👍 👍
I misread this as why did necrons turn their worlds into bombs. Did the double take, but still thought, in the absolute hellscape that is 40k, why wouldnt you? Thats one hell of an exit strategy if you ask me. Chaos invading and you can't hold them off? Give em the finger and take whatever is left of their forces on the planet and anything remotely near orbit with you. Oh the planet broke before the guard? Why not use a planet to break someone else?
Can the Dynasty that controls the Celestial Orrery make the star go supernova where the Amonteks tomb world exist? Or is the machinery advanced enough to stop the orrery since they are controlling that star itself?
The german audiotrack ist truly cursed, mein Iterator; very funny, but cursed. Here and there my scalp had the urge to curl up, for i know real people who speak english just like that. Now, however, I can't help but imagine that this is people's accent on Hubris aswell (the homeworld of Godwyn Fischig in Eisenhorn: Xenos). Really an extraordinary idea. Keep up ze gut wörk!
If I was forced into a dreadnought like burias drak'shal or turned into a necron I'd be pissed. At least Put flesh over the metal so you could live as a organic being. I'd leave the galaxy.
😄i know you said you will experiment with the german voiceover😆 but you have created a chimera or the programm did. Now its a mixure of Latein, sprinkled with a few words of german in between and english lines its seem. Pure Gold! The Dark Mechanicum would proud i would say. Total currupted code. You are a real mad scientist🤪. Lmao And now i enjoy the original VO that is magnificent as ever.😎👍
When you are immortal with a mortal mind, you will find madness in the infinite waking life. To boredom will destroy you, and so you sleep. You sleep to preserve your mind for the waking reality. Why awaken at all when it will never change? Why? Necrons, I think, are an example of an unending existential crisis.
Wouldn't the Necron blocking of the Warp and psychic power also affect the Orcs? I would think under such conditions, the WAAR powering the orcs, and their vehicles, weapons and armor, would cause everything Orc to stop working......or am I missing something?
For me as a german this was very hard to understand, i hbad to quit after a few minutes.. just one question: why on earth would someone do that?? liked all other vids so far...
Yes why do they slumber... indeed that is the question. Whitch is why i hear this whole thing to summarize nectrons - but never ever gave an answer.... dafuq
Basically it was a calculation that told them that they would be in a better position to rule the galaxy and one day retain their souls once again. That's why The Silent King went out into the universe into exile to use this stretch of time to find a solution to their predicament, since other beings in other galaxies must surely have done this dance before. They are not warp sensitive beings either, but that doesn't mean they don't know everything about it either, they use warp based technology to imprison and sap the energies of the C'tan and they also use it in dolman gates. They need the warp to regain their souls and they need a number of vessels to do so, what I think they were hoping for is a time where it got restored to some semblance of stability again. The Necrons have a huge role in the future of both the galaxy and humanity so I see an alliance in the future some time down the road. The silent king has probably seen any number of God Emperor's before and knows how to restore him possibly.
Szarekh the Silent King, leader of the necrons had absolute control over the entire race, for they had their free will removed when they gained their metal bodies, ordered them to sleep for 60 million years to allow the enemies of the necrons to grow weak and ripe for conquest.
Just wondering, are necrons "impossible " to destroy or just very hard. If just very hard , there numbers must be gowing down over the time scale that they work on.
Yes that is correct. They are very hard to destroy permanently, not impossible. So they have a fixed number. And theoretically they could be rendered extinct. But their numbers are so great, that it's functionally impossible for the time being. And if the Great Awakening happens they will outnumber humans and orks both
I love cron lore and the vid is amazing I have but one greedy nihilakh question. Can you do the same for my other favourite faction the Skaven? You'd make this Friendly neighbourhood Cryptek very happy 😊
Okay youtube... i wanted to read a comment not skip to some random time in the video and loose my place.. thanks Who tf ever thought that it would be a good idea to make the video jump to the time the comment was posted and thus loosing your place in the video should loose their job , be shamed publicly and may both sides of their pillow be hot for the rest of their days
I still sometimes lament the loss of Oldcrons, with things like Pariahs, and can get annoyed at the antics Tomb Kings in SPACE!!!! Newcrons often get up to, but some of them are pretty neat, so I still like the faction. I think I'm mostly fond of the Nephrek Dynasty, with their metagold Overlord Sylphek. Part of it is certainly that I am a fan of Hypercrypt Legion; it is really good, but mostly I just really love movement shenanigans powers, and I was fond of these even in past editions. Also fond of the gold color scheme, and possibly making different "ranks" have different amounts of metagold, with only the Overlord being all gold.
Hah mentioning the new worse necron lore. Franchises once they reach a certain age should be broken up into eras. Any time the franchise owners choose to change the franchises cannon. Space crusade,Rogue trader, second edition etc. otherwise we end up with companies that will not manage their properties, because they will destroy and replace any aspect of it in order to increase quarterly profits.
Also Alter da hast du irgendwas vermurkst man kriegt zugleich deutsche Begriffe zu hören als auch englische und alles vermischt ich kann davon überhaupt nichts verstehen schade hätte mich nämlich echt interessiert da ich die necrons immer gern gespielt habe .
@@ImperialIterator i...m not so sure about that chief xd i tried that and all it does is a german text to speech but the text still is english so it sounds worse than our chancelor trying to speak english xD
We know about the necrons. What about Vulkan? Why does he live!? How did he use eldar webway channels and make it to the golden throne to have a 1v1 with magnus the red right before he oneshot the emperor? Why doesent anybody talk about Vulkan? The biggest, kindest, wisest, strongest… of all his brothers. Wtf is the echo chamber of content creators that olny talk about the same 40k lore?
