Thank you so much! That's very kind of you

Indeed! They're well spooky, wouldn't want to be around any blood thirsting necrons. I seem to remember the Chaos android thing coming up fairly recently again in the lore, might need to check on what it was and do a little video on those strange origins

The question is if Khorne even takes them seriously or just sees them as mindless gatherers without having to bless them with transcendence or demonic gifts.

That's a fair question, but I imagine the gods would be completely ambivalent to the Necrons if they weren't such a big force. Since they have no souls they can't really contribute to the powers of the warp, so their actions of bloodshed probably wouldn't fuel Khorne? At least that would be my interpretation, they're still causing pain and agony, so as a biproduct of what they're doing they probably empower the demons a tiny bit. I imagine you're right about them being seen as perhaps mindless gatherers, although there would still be some glory to be lost out on from having a Necron shed the blood, rather than an actual devout follower of Khorne. @@evankimori

​​@@ScholarsloreWell remember, Knorne cares not from whence the blood flows. Only that it does. So I would assume the fact necrons are causing bloodshed and death would fuel khorne just cause its happening but it wouldnt empower him the same way someone serving him would. But what if a soulless being did purposely serve him? I wonder how that would work. Could they even physically be capable of serving him? Gone off kindof a tangent here lol but now I'm wondering if blanks are soulless or if they have anti souls. Anyways, I heard that in old lore the chaos squats made the chaos androids but I believe both of those things were retconned

Thank you, I do try and get the lore as accurate as possible. I'm far from perfect, and I've made a couple mistakes in the past (said there were 1000 marines in a company instead of a chapter being the one which comes to mind), but I really do want these to be as faithful to the lore as possible. I always write them with the codex's/rule books in front of me, so rest assured that the content is pretty much as GW is describing it.

just wait until you find out who the omnissiah is

Heresy? Who, me? No no no, you must have me mistaken with another scholar 👀

I like to think that the British Museum is tucked up in some corner of Trazyn's collection in the "Pre Golden Age Humanity" exhibition.

@@Graygor. probably also the library of alexandreia and a huge bunch of other old knowledge, too. you bet he also ready everything about the warp, i mean, imagine being asleep for 60 Million years and finding out that the new species have been researching your biggest enemy for you honestly, a dynasty against "prime humanity" could be interesting.

Indeed! There's still so many more I need to write about, personally I put Necron lore above the rest of the setting, something about them scratches an itch for me

I actually published this 12 hours early, little misclick, but I'm glad that this twist of fate was helpful

Which is crazy because as soon as GamesWorkshop decided to give Necron more lore they immediately become fan favourite. I remember before 8th edition, before The Infinite and Divine, Necrons are basically Tyranids but metal, aka faceless hordes with little to no lore.

Indeed, the dark old days of mindless terminators!@@theotv5522

Certainly got it trained up well. One of these days I need to make a custom pronunciation doc just to make some of the 40k specific terms more consistent (tyranid often gets mispronounced), but in general I'm happy with how it sounds, and thank you

@@Scholarslore Wow, thanks for the reply. 🍻 Can't wait for your upcoming videos.

No problemo, I appreciate you watching and commenting @@M82Predator 😇

@@ScholarsloreAlso much love from me, appreciate your work. I‘m curious, did you fix the pronounciation for „Arbites“? 😄❤

Yeah the old stuff was fun, but I was always a little uneasy with it, so I'm really pleased with this new direction (the whole debacle was a blessing in disguise). But cheers

Thank you! I'm glad they help you sleep. There'll be another story next week , this time about demons, so I hope you enjoy that one!

Was just thinking about this like 48 hours ago lol

Tyranids try to avoid the barren metallic worlds of the Necrons, but once engaged in battle, their only hope is to drown the resurrection machines in bodies before they can effectively atomize all the Nids’ biomass.

@@UGNAvalon Yes! That! Now turn that into a 20 minute video

@@camg6400 A 20min action sequence? Sure. But 20min of just describing "and then the Necrons gauss'd the first line of Tyranids before being ripped apart by the second line, until they got resurrected and did it all over again" would get dull pretty fast. :/

It’s not fun for tyranids. No bio mass gained and their weapons permanently destroy tyranids by atomizing. The hive avoids tomb worlds. There is a great story about Dante n the Silent King involving the Nids

Thanks! I also don't really like needless waffle before a video, so I'd rather leap straight in. Even the whole "greetings" intro stuff feels too long and drawn out for me, but it makes the video feel a bit comfier so I keep it in

Thank you! Someone else was asking for the same thing recently, so I'm going to cover the Octarius war in a vid fairly soon, and hopefully that sates everyone's appetites for xeno x xeno action

Way more to come! Hmm Tau vs Tyranids would be good, the first topic which comes to mind would be hive fleet Gorgon, so perhaps I'll cover them sooner than the other hive fleets

Same here, gives them some good personality, and it's good that people can paint them as basically however they want, and that it'll still fit with the lore

Thank you! I will be doing another of these dynasty vids, and for sure I’ll cover them in that one

Thank you so much, that's very kind of you

[fangurling intensifies]

Gotta respect our ancient predecessors!

Thank you so much!

Ooo I didn't actually know that, I'm not so familiar with star trek ships 👀

@@ScholarsloreYeah, I am pretty sure these ships only get used in Star Trek Online though, as part of the "Red Alert" stf's

Thank you for watching!

Haha thank you, I mean that would be a dream to be honest. Writing this stuff is already incredibly gratifying, and enjoyable, but to actually carve out the lore for this setting? that would be amazing.

@@Scholarslore Would you have Necrons and Blood Angels fighting a foe together then leaving the system? If not you’re ahead of the game.

Oof, I would be far more inclined to leave some of those "alliance of necessity" situations as being few and FAR between, certainly not involving a founding chapter either. Always thought that was a messy implementation of that sort of scenario, so I'm not sure I'd have done it like that. In principle, I think that the 40k setting is large enough that you can have stories like that one, and they'll generally make sense, but that broad strokes like that tend to shift peoples perception of factions, and nuance can be lost, so it does just boil down to "necrons and imperium alliance", which forgoes some of the good parts of the tale. But anyway, rambling on. @@Fortunes.Fool.

No, thank you!

Ooo I actually really want to do that one soon, so worry not, it'll come!

​@Scholarslore oh my gosh PLEASE if you could! Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs are on orc-levels of adventure and fun times. The Blood Harvest and the Badaab War are so freaking cool

Would certainly make his job easier, but I'm glad that they've not kept that in their pocket, would erase too much of the interesting, and unique stories from the other dynasties!

Best faction

This is "Tokyo Rains Meditation" by "NaturesEye" on Pixabay. It has been slowed/extended/pitch shifted however, so its a little different from the original version

It would only be about 5 minutes though

@be1394 fair, haven't read the codex so I wasn't sure how much lore was added when that came out. I just find the little that I've heard super interesting

could be about squats in general, perhaps.

I know! I really need to work on it! I haven't actually got the LOV codex though, so I need to pick it up and study them, honestly know very little about them in the current setting unfortunately. I will do them this year though, think they have a new codex coming out even? if so then hopefully there will be some new lore to add into the vids

What's Hearsay

What's hairspray?​@@FieldDay-cj3tv

@@FieldDay-cj3tvwhen ur mum farts outta her big bum

I mean technically since they shed their bodies during the biotransference, then around half of the robotic necrons are actually women, but everyone has the same neutral frame so you can't tell from a glance who is who. The Maynarkh dynasty (who could be blamed for creating the flayer virus) had/have a female phaeron known as the mother of oblivion!

​@@Scholarslorethank you the explanation. Im looking fowar when ever you re-upload the destroyer video. I liked it so much the lore the fitting music. Omnissiah be praised!!

Ah thank you, that's very kind
