The Ork vs Necron battle report is what convinced me to start playing 40k. 4,000 points of Necrons later and I still love my space Egyptians.

Nick: "Those Necrons saw the superior tech of the Tau and decided to copy it." Some Cryptek that's way too old for this shit: "Sure, kid, sure..."

Michael is so soft spoken, almost shy. So the “Egyptians in Space” bit hit me like a left hook

Yes yes yes finally a necron army showcase

Has anyone ever done Flayed Ones who were so into flensing Orks they started having Choppa fingers?

As a necron player, can I just say I've been waiting for this forever? XD This is so awesome

Excellent episode. Love this lore-heavy and personal history format. I always considered the phenomenon of WH40k as primarily lore driven. I never played the game but when I was in college I posted above my bed a sheet from the Black Templars codex with the quote 'For those who seek perfection, there is no rest this side of the grave'. Thank you guys, your channel is awesome.

I am completely new to warhammer. After watching Tau Nick I took the plunge to start a Tau army! Wish me luck!

I absolutely love the Destroyer Cult lore. Just the "I can't live, so neither can you" thing gets me going

Love that the title card says (with Watson) and then in even smaller letters (and Michael)

What an awesome army. It is nice to see a splash of color on Necron armor panels.

17:18 Freudian slip with "Tomb King lore" lol. Gosh I miss playing my Tomb Kings

The void dragon is the model that made me start collecting my necrons! Love that model so much. Plus with necrons in the starter set they are quite cheap in comparison to other armies

The Infinite and the Divine is actually one of the best 40k books, i have ever red. The humor is great. It's like oceans eleven with necrons.

I’m building a ghost ark now and I gotta say the look really bugs me, thinking about doing a bit of conversion so it’s upside down like the doomsday ark but the guys inside are hanging down like they’re in racks

loved it. just dipping my toe into 40k. Necrons are by far the army I'm most drawn to.

Necrons didnt visually grab me but they are a faction where the more I know the more I love them. There lore ranges from a a virus that makes them wear the flayed flesh of their enemies as they malfunction in their understanding of the flesh tranfurance to old man who doesnt know he is a robot tries to eat food and everything inbetween. Necron players are so free to define their army however they please. Badass army for sure.

As a Necron player myself this has inspired me to invest more in them

Dude those destroyers look like the could take a city by themselves! Sweet paint job on em!

Love me some necron! Must finish my army to Parade.

Love this showcase! Glad to see your response to another earlier comment was legit! Now we just need to get a real battle between Necrons and whatever faction going! I’ve rewatched the Tombworld narrative campaign too much already!

Sorry to Tak, JT, Tycho and Steve but my favourite PlayOn member has to be Nick. Always so fun a great sport all the time

Cool looking Necrons. An Undead Showcase just in time for Halloween.

Much love guys this is the way ya start a morning 7:30 am here in Cali baby and I got a Nid vs Orkz

Your Necron v. Blood Angels game is what convinced me to start playing! RIP that poor Repulsor. All hail Wattson!

I'm currently looking to get into the tabletop part of the hobby and the search for my first army has officially begun. Necrons are currently on top of the list, so thanks a lot for making these types of videos!!!!

You guys are my favorite Warhammer 40k youtube channel. The Content between 20 and 45 minutes is PERFECT for my attention span. Thank you!!

I’ve watched these videos for so long and I just recently acquired my very first starter army of Tau! I loved how this video is structured and would love to see more for more of the races! 😁

I have recently got back into necrons after a 15 year hiatus. And one thing I am really dying to get is the monolith because that was my teenage years' dream when I was broke. Nice army here though! Its really beautifully painted and its really fun to hear your army's story Michael!

i like michael, he seems really chill

It’s awesome to see Necrons on the channel again!

I kinda wanna watch him paint one of these, I love this blue-green paint job.

These showcases are the best.

I just finished listening to the new Necron book The Twice-Dead King on my audible trial. Good stuff. The shoulders on that Necron army are on-point. I want to know what stuff he went with to fill.

Can we have a rematch against the blood angels of JP?

These are so fun to watch. Can we get an octarius or indomitus fight?

I have a psychomancer that my brother nicknamed Lieutenant Dan because he has no legs.

Very interesting with him explaining the transition in lore and a beautiful Necron army to watch. Motivating me to make my dynasty riiiiiiise! Greetz & keep up the good work!

I do like the new lore, I struggled with it initially I will admit, but it's grown on me now.

LOL One of my first games was my Space Marine with a Plasma rifle vs OG Necron. I rolled bad and killed my own Marine with hot plasma...years later the Tau came out and I was like,'' No wounds from plasma overheat, sign me up!'' #MasterOfThePlasma

Play on before spooky/ork month ends can we see a orks vs necrons battle to see who officially own October skeletons or da orks

Started a Necron army 2 months ago. Love them and now have almost 3000pts. hahaha Great video.

love these showcases, fingers crossed for sisters someday soon

Would love to have him and his necrons back for a high point game.

What a great showcase!

Great looking army! That is a really nice paint scheme for Necrons.

Really enjoyed this video! I am already dreaming of a necron army after getting my Ork boyz painted :)

The Flayed ones are pretty cool fluff wise... not only are they cursed, but the other Necron believe it is contagious and some Lords will not use them but they just show up to "protect their brothers" sometimes :D

Awesome looking army. Currently working on my newly created Mephrit Dynasty.

Such cool minis Hope to see more Necrons battles

I will be mimicking this color scheme! What an awesome job!

I think between the old necrons and the new necrons hasn't actually changed much lorewise, just someday a huge army of silent, Immortal deathrobots appear and start to kill Everything. some of Them may have their hands switched with blades, but over all, the appearance to the outside only Changes when the higher necrons Communicate which non-necrons

YES ... 3:30 few people remember that beautiful codex! Always hated the phase out rule, was happy when it was removed!

I really like the concept behind the necrons. Literally selling your soul for imortality

I reckon a tau army with tau styled necrons would be cool because if some overlords do diplomacy with other factions then at some point there could be a necromancy army that joined the tau and there are already humans in tau armies

What is that tasty jam that plays 10sec into the video? Perfect fit for Crons!!

Love the paint job! Nihilakh Dynasty hasn't let me down. My LFGS everyone goes Mephrit or Novokh and looks down on my waves of blue and gold. When I beat my last opponent by not letting them get any primary points by the end of turn 3 (opponent conceded at that point) they started to respect them :)

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" - Arthur C Clarke.

Would love to see a night lords showcase sometime

I love this lore talk. Gimme more!

I know you read these Micheal. Great job and amazing paint job.

Big fan of the ancient Egypt trap remix 👍

Beautiful verdigris on the Doomscythe and a great looking army

Love the army showcase!!

Love these showcases!

i enjoyed this vid gents, nice to see someone getting excited about the lore.... (i like the harlequin lore myself).. well done

Also, blast you Michael (and of course Watson) you've succeeded in getting Necrons into my mind as the second army I'll collect!

Would be cool to see some flayed ones with orc or tau flesh draped over them

I like that quirky backstory for your Dynasty, might I suggest you call it the Brittanikhan Dynasty?

Gaunts Ghosts is an awesome series, good choice.

Holy fuck i used to do the mega battles too!

Geez, am I alone in - having briefly looked into 40K back in 04 - having heavily preferred the energy tubes configuration of Necron weapons?

Uuuuuh, was it just me or did anyone else have a picture screen reading 'with Watson and Michael?'

bro that music is nice

If there's ever another 'era' of 40k, besides 30k, that got rules and models.... the War in Heaven would be my first choice.

Would love to see a dark eldar army showcase

I as a Necron player totally agree with all of Michael's comments.

Does anyone know what blue colour Michael used on his necrons?

I like this guy, He's awesome. And not annoying like Luka.

I like to imagine necrons sounding like B1 droids from Star Wars

Hey Tau Nick how are you doing my dude

When I told my brother in law about Necrons I described them as "Egyptian Space Terminators" 😃

"I'm been currently going through the entire Gaunt's Ghosts series". There's a gap in the Audible series. Books 7 "Sabbat Martyr" to Book 12 "Blood Pact". I'm impatiently waiting for Book 7.

I’d love to know how that verdigris job was done. Also, the first Necron minis were in 2nd Edition, not Rogue Trader, but I’m being pedantic (1st ever reference in lore was in Gorkamorka).

Necrons!

Awesome video, love the colors and the dynasty love. One point of note, based on my math the army in front of you should be a lot closer to 3900-4200 points. I too collect necrons and I personally posses roughly 8.5 - 9k points in necrons. I totally get that you probably misspoke and were referring to you entire army and not the gorgeously painted ones in front of you. Keep up the painting and the amazing work. Hail Watson and Hail Necrons!!!

Great Audible recommendation for Gaunt's Ghosts; I highly recommend anyone late to comments/video to check it out!

I’ve always been interested in warhammer, and necron seem really awesome. Are necron relatively beginner friendly army to build around?

Damn. That BG music is on point!! Who do you use for this?

Hello

#nitpick RT era wasn't Necrons, but Chaos Androids, and they were only in Space Crusade. Necrons as a race appeared in WD during the tail end of 2nd Edition as a WIP army with just Lords, Warriors, Scarabs, and Destroyers

What's that intro music it sounds so fire 🔥

I also see you have a Star Wars Legion core set on the shelf 👀 have you guys been playing that at all?

Now that Necro army has to go smash the Tau :P

What size base is that Triarch Stalker on? It looks really good.

From what I have read/watched, the reason that the Necrons went into a slumber was because the galaxies that they had conquered were completely devastated and provided nothing, so they went to sleep in order to allow the planets to regrow from the death and destruction. Lutein does a really good video on the story of the Necrontyr, might help clear up some of the backstory because it does get a bit confusing at times kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdt1nsRes67egI0.html

Please do an Alpha Legion Battle Report.

have you heard of Roko's Basilisk

Whats the background music? Sounds awesome!

It'll probably never happen but I'd love if you could do this style of video for Age of Sigmar. Its really good now, 1st edition was a long time ago and the newer models are SOOOO cool. A man can dream
