More of these stories please. 40K should be grimdark for everyone, not just the Imperium.
I want more stories of wars between the necrons, mechanicus and tau. Wars where data and high technology need to be expertly wielded against highly augmented armies.
Imotekh is respectful of tradition, mindful of necron lives and fair to those who do not wish to join him. It shows a degree of honor that you can't help but admire.
I wouldn't go that far.
He still conquered those who don't automatically join hik.
Uh he's actually known to be ruthless and intentionally sacrifices necron lives to win. He doesn't care about necron lives more so than conquering the galaxy. Everything you said is closer to describing The Silent King.
This potential Necron schism is something I have been waiting for. I doubt Imhotek has information regarding the Silent King's journies. Now, in the Tyranids, the Necrons have a back up if the Nexus failed. Wiping out all life in the Galaxy! A Necron civil war would place the Necrons in a precarious position. With Imhotek clashing with forces of the Indomitus Crusade. However, we have a rogue element, the Orks! Ghazkull has wanted a big fight, he has that now. The more conflict, the more the Orks start resembling the Krork race of old. Crashing straight into the Tyranids would offer Ghazkull what he wants. I also suspect GW may go along this path.
It better be Orks v 'Nids. As the weapons used by the Necrons "should" prevent any spores been shed on death. Which would put a crimp on the Orks big time.
Plot twist: Szarekh left dormant command protocols and turns off Imotekh
When Necron fights Necron, we all win.
As fun as the idea of Szarekh and Imotekh and their armies going at it is, we all know how a fight between Imotekh and Szarekh would actually go…
Imotekh: “Die Traitor!” *attacks*
Szarekh: *Bitchslaps Imotekh so hard he nearly dies* “You done, Imotekh?”
Well he also has (some of) the imperium on his side. The silent dude also literally conquered gods..
Szarekh also has his override command that he's just too prideful to use. If he wanted, he can literally just tell Imotekh "behave yourself", and the fight is over
@phantomwraith1984
He destroyed it as part of his penance.
@terminallove3531
Yea.....I am positive he did....but wait...could he? If He was made to control the Necrons....did the C'tan give Him the ability to ignore the reason that He was given that powerin the first place? If you made something...to do a specific thing....would you give it the ability to ignore or abandon the reason you made it in the first place?
@@godking4621
I don't know how to explain it.
Remember, the Necron nobility were allowed to keep their faculties,SK was the king of the Necrons,so he had more "independence" than most nobles.
If they made the Necrons,why did they allow them to rebel against them?
They didn't,SK commanded them to rebel.
If he could do that,I imagine he could also destroy that which gave him control over the Necrons.
The Silent King beat a C'tan if Immotek faces him in combat he is doomed to fail. I see some king of treaty for now with the Silent King showing him the threat so he understands.
One small correction: A Cold War doesn't involve actual warfare, only proxy moves by to main players like the USA vs USSR. If it does involve ar then it becomes a "hot" war.
Always good to hear more about the Necrons! Was waiting for you to do a video on this.
Lol, the silent king literally captured a c'tan and made it his premium hoverboard's battery while Imotekh only beat Helbreatch due to OP necron metal self healing bullshit.
I mean he didn’t capture it, he had technology thay let him capture it. That’s how all Necrons work.
The silent king destroyed a warlord Titan with a wave of his hand in a white dwarf book to
@@supremercommonder He fired a tychon lance at it, it's a very devestating weapon but only 1 shot. It's like a pistol-sized volcano cannon.
@@wewuzkangz2505, and one that is imposible to reload or replace. It _was_ basically the equivalent of necron dark age tech.
Meanwhile Trazyn The Infinite collecting more pokemon (historical figures) for his collection.
Imotekh is screwed. The SK is like the Necron version of the Emperor, god knows what tech he has the others don’t know about, but what if the story of him destroying his control over the Necrons was a lie and he can turn it on whenever he wants. Not to mention he’s be awake for MILLIONS years, Imotekh has not.
Imotehk didn't abandon his people to pout for millions of years. He's been through the trenches trying to help his broken people.
@@Connordaboss45 he was woken up in a civil war, SK felt guilty and went into self imposed exile. That being said I’m not really discussing their moral positions, in terms of power it’s like a man vs a baby with the SK and Imo.
This is really cool. The Necron would become boring and too OP if they all united behind Szarekh without conflict, and this gives weight to the duality/schism between the Necron that hated the bio transference and those that revel in it. So the clashes of these rivaling ideologies and titans of power, old vs new etc, makes the Necron a lot more interesting. And creates the opportunity for more cool storylines and interaction between the Necron and the other races. Thumbs up for GW for choosing this narrative going forward :)
An Imotekh book would be awesome. Have we even seen him in any books? I've only read a few novels but the only time I've heard him even speak was during Severed when he was assigning a mission to Zhandrek to deal with some "troubled" Necrons.
more Necron content! Keep it coming Rho!
You don't actually think the Silent King had severed all the command protocols did you? Perhaps he's just luring the traitors into a trap?
Not permanently.
I always thought the idea of necron wanting to go back to flesh is dumb when most necron are pretty much mindless now and surely alot of there tech will only be usable in there metal form including there space ships
I think that the only path of survival for the galaxy is an alliance between Szarek’s Necrons and the Imperium under Guilliman. Both are reasonable leaders open to inter-species pacts, and both are intelligent enough to understand that alone neither humanity nor the Necrons can stand against the Great Devourer and the Ruinous Powers.
It would surprise me if the Silent King had a ace up his sleeve, a deletion protocol or some other super weapon he as his disposal. But even the thought of destroying him would be a set back at this point.
Necrons civil war = free clonegrim
Imotekh’s logic makes little sense, Silent King fails as he damned them in metal bodies, then on the other hand how dare the Silent King try and reverse the process.
My biggest issue is that the Pariah Nexus is going to end with a decisive Imperium win.
And heres how it’ll play out.
While the Necrons are waring with each other, the Imperium is gonna some how manage in the background be fighting other Necron forces in a grand finale stand that is written like they’re about to loose when suddenly- they magically hold out long enough to destroy the Nexus, and return the warp to the area.
I want to be wrong. I so so so SO want to be wrong. But this is GW story tellers we’re talking about here. They’re not gonna.
Lore has gone downhill since Cadia
Arbitor Ian made a video on the Pariah Nexus Campaign recently and without spoiling too much, a fourth faction (I'm counting Szarekh's and Imotekh's as two separate factions) arrived at the end of the Crusade book
They are a nexos faction. They are not going to win anything. For the narrativ they exist so the imperium can win for the 10000 time this month and nothing else.
lol you could not BE MORE wrong. The imperium isn’t even a third wheel by the end of it. They do have successes but not only do they not win, they fuck up so bad they have probably escalate the conflict to mutual levels of destruction. Just read it.
Your generic plot lol common with all developers
Imotekh is one of the most badass characters in the whole of 40k. But i dont want him to win. The Silent King is the galaxies best chance for dealing with the Tryanids, and a chance for some peace between Humanity, Aeldari, and the Tau, if 40k would ever have an end
Dont get me wrong i like imotekh but i find him quite hypocritical here we have q guy who says no fighting in my dynasty whike ignoring the true throne he is essentially nekron horus the silent king looks at the tyranids like the emperor looked at chaos and is trying to think long game while imotekh whines and says its been 60 million years since we got turned into robots and its all your fault and the silent king is going look i get it and remember i basically resigned myself to exile forever but then i though about my race as actual intergalactic cthulu came at us and i said wow if my race doesnt take this threat seriously "like you arent" then they'll transfer into biological forms again and get eaten we should all take care of this before we think about doing that.
I think its interesting that Szarek is making the same mistake again as milions of years ago. He forced everyone to give up their bodies, regreted it, and how he is forcing biotransference on them again... Would be interesting to have this pointed out to him by Imhotec. Also I doubt that if Szarekh were to actually fight anyone would or could stand against him.
He’s not forcing it tho, he’s trying to unite them first don’t be an idiot
Yay necron video! 😁 keep em coming please 🙏
Video idea here can we get one about the loyalists thousand son's librarian that's in the current setting of 40k I think his name is isical ore he's super interesting, most of the stuff I know of him is in the Ash's of Prospero book, plz I beg you I need more lore on this guy and I'm hopping to get him popular so that GW will have to bring hin back and have an interaction with any currently live primarks
I think we might be underestimating the storm lord a touch
Totally agree on his own book though!
Orikan joining Imotekh doesn’t make sense. He was, and is, totally opposed to biotransference.
They are in the same dynasty so orikan is obligated to
It makes perfect sense. He is loyal to his dynasty, and while he was against being transferred, now that he is he's not taken his new form for granted. His new goal is for the necrons to ascend into a state of pure energy, not return to the fragile, mortal flesh he left behind long ago.
Hail the Storm Lord!
Hail!
Szarekh needs to "kill" Imotekh and force Imotekh into a new body. A new body created by Szarekh. A body with all the command protocols intact and upgraded to control him.
They'll probably be Ynnari to get their souls back
Who should I get in my NECRON faction, Imotek or the SK???
I see it coming to ahead by them dualing . As is the proper way
SK is slapping imotekh, imotekh is regarded as being poor in melee combat by necron standards
I love how they have built this conflict. Two nuanced characters with opposing views.
If Imhotek can win and take over as Silent King which I hope happens then I wonder if Szarekh will look to strike a truce with Guilliman which will mean Guilliman will help with Imhotek and Szarekh will actively help with the Nids
That is precisely what I hope happens, though ideally without Szarek losing power as the silent king. Only together can the Imperium and Infinite Empire survive against the Great Devourer.
Is it only me or Sautkeh dynasty is similar verbally and literally, words and actions, with Sotek in Warhammer...A rebellious or unorthodox group within a major faction?
Caveat: Sotek and his kin was offsprings of Old One and Sauthek dynasty...you know necrontyr
There ever going to be a spoiler review of End and the Death part 2?
He doesn't review Siege novel until the series is finished.
Spoilers:
Big E is put on the Throne
Spoiler:
My hawk-boi Sanguinius dies at the end!
Can someone explain how many sentients a typical Necron dynasty contains? I know most were turned into mindless husks so are we talking about a handful of overlords, hundreds, more?
Don't know as to number but I belive sentience is retained mainly by the Royal Court Overlord, lord, crypteks, royal wardens & lychguard (who I believe have a vow of silence) it also seems like from a few books that destoryers and flayed ones have some sort of sentience but are utterly driven mad by their conditions
How long until Chaos butts in?
Slaanesh: did someone say butts?
In the Nexus? Or just against Necrons in general? Either way the Necrons should clap them hard (something Fulgrim and his degenerate sons might derive some sick pleasure from).
Until Slanesh decides there’s enough butt out there for them to get involved. :p
Is there any Necron material on Audible?
The Infinite and the Divine & The Twice Dead King are both excellent necron stories. The 1st is orican & trayzn banter story set over thousands of years stealing & outplaying one another. The latter is the story of Altix a necron Prince & his struggle with ruling his people in the 41st millennium. All 3 books are a great listen with some awesome characters
@@johnmerrickAN That's good to know. Audible and RUclips are basically my only mediums for the setting(legally blind). THX😁👍
@@UncleMikeDrop you're welcome
Twice Dead King, imo, is one of the best books Black Library has ever published. Only in 40k can one of the most emotionally charged and engaging stories be about the immortal undead robot zombies.
I'm I the only one who thinks Szarekh = Yugi and Imotekh = Kaiba
Well I mean they do have that Egyptian naming scheme going on, so Yu-Gi-Oh? Why not
@@aliveandwellinisrael2507 I mean character wise, the Pharaoh who sealed the evil and his rival, a talented upstart with a penchant for vulgar displays of power
what is the name of this audio book?
It's based on fluff from the most recent white dwarf edition. Rho mentions such in the very beginning
The Settra of 40k, Imotekh will not serve!
Cue the most generic Black Library novel title…. Imotekh - Lord of the Storm 🤣
