Zahndrekh is a Necron Overlord and Nemesor of the Sautekh Dynasty who was once counted amongst the greatest generals of the lost Necrontyr empire. It was through his campaigns of conquest that his Tomb World of Gidrim rose from a small and insignificant planet on the fringes of the galaxy to become the iron-handed ruler of a dozen star systems.
Even now, though Gidrim has been subsumed as a crownworld of the larger Sautekh Dynasty, Zahndrekh is numbered amongst the mightiest of its heroes.
It is a reputation well deserved, for Gidrim is one of the more expansionist of the recently awoken crownworlds of Sautekh, and Zahndrekh's undying armies are an ever-present peril of the Milky Way Galaxy's Eastern Fringe.
I'd love to fight this man because this is the one dude who sat down and read the Geneva Conventions and just said "Ah, this makes it sporting."
I’d challenge him to some card games. Spite and malice, poker, war, nightmare, as many random games as I can think of. Give him a taste of what it was like to waste time as a fleshy being once again. Plus, it would be fun!
For him, they are the rules. For others, its a checklists
@@lordfelidae4505 thats an amazing idea. oberon probably wouldn't instantly kill you then
ask Oberon to join in as well I'm sure zandrehk would be more than happy to tell him to do it.
@@lordfelidae4505 I'd challenge him to Cards Against Humanity (hell, I'd challenge the Primarchs to it as well because it's fucking funny)
Exasperated Necron Lord (screaming at Sahndrekh like Woody from Toy Story): *YOU... ARE... A... ROBOT!!!* You're not a creature of flesh and blood! You are a souless killing machine!!
Nemesor Zahndrekh: You are a sad strange little Necrontyr and you have my pity.
I’m pretty sure that Oberon has had this exact exchange more than once with Zahndrekh.
@@khylerbane4523😂😂😂
Zhandrekh possibly being completely sane but just out having a good time with his buddy Obyron is one of the greatest warhammer 40k bits ever.
I never thought of it like that. That's the most Necron thing I think I've ever heard.
"Zahndrekh, stop trying to eat grapes."
Cuts to Zahndrekh with his face dyed purple from numerous attempts at eating grapes. "N-No."
*grapes stuck in his speaker* in an actual stuffed mouth noise:
N.... no.
That's how I read it. Amazing
Actually something that recently came out is that Zandrekh actually has episodes, and slinks back into reality. He prefers to stay in the past, play the fool, and enjoy immortal conquests
Zandrekh is like "I know the world I live in and its a cruel one. I prefer to live in a past where my life is more than eternal, but so is my crusade."
...they also mention that here boi
They mention this at 15:00
@@scottbruckner4653 "I reject your reality and substitute my own."
The Necrons seem way more human than the actual humans. This is hilarious.
Well the ones that are sentient do have plenty of charecter.
That's actually something that i dislike about 40k. Their obsession with "everything is terrible" fucked the scale of the imperium so much that they needed to make a faction that is completely foreign to everything in the galaxy just to have an excuse to write characters that aren't evil to the point of being stupid.
then again it might be the players fault because they tried to tone down the grim dark with tau but everyone's panties got bunched up.
Reading the Indomitus book drove this point home for me. The Ultramarines are bio-engineered to never ever feel human emotions or suffer the "failings" of a regular human mind. They are perfect to the point of not being human, whereas the Necrons bicker and fight, and are arrogant, greedy, jealous, and petty - which makes them muuuuch more relatable.
*chuckles in living metal*
@@wolf2403 Oi gimme dem necron toasters.
Nemesor Zahndrekh is like the personality of Kronk, but in the position of power of Yzma, and vice versa with Vargard Obyron!
Like Nemesor gasps and says "MY SPINACH PUFFS?!" and leaves the room while Vargard then proceeds to slaughter everyone
This is a fairly Accurate description
I love you guys doing this.
Don't get me wrong, I love Lutein. He is thorough and in depth with all his videos. But his delivery is very professional. I love how you two let every moment of absurdity have it's proper amount of time to land with DKs expressions of awe. Because seriously. This shit is crazy.
Second that!
Agreed... Seek out Lutein for the facts, come to Adeptus Ridiculous for the adventure.
It’s great, the angle of having one person less familiar with the craziness of the lore and reacting to how ridiculous it is is a nice change of pace sometimes!
Do love Luetin’s stuff too though, depends on my mood
@@StewartMillarTheManCave And Baldemort for when you want some dramatic reading
666th like???
Grandpa Zandrekh is the best. But regarding the feast, he probably had servants prepare some ancient traditional Necrontyr meals. Sooo... Alien bagels and cream cheese.
Heho funni number
Scream Cheese
Spooky
i like to imagine necrontyr food as being ridiculously unhealthy cause it's like 'we're all dying of supercancer anyway, may as well enjoy ourselves'
@@thejuiceking2219 sooo... the estrogen burger?
Nemesor Zahndrekh is my favorite of the Necron named characters simply because of how he acts like a senile old man. I remember I actually included him in a Dark Heresy campaign I ran which saw the Inquisitor and the player characters being captured by the Necrons as "honoured prisoners" by Zahndrekh, where he invited the party to a feast, it was hilariously awkward since in the back of the player's minds while they were enjoying my descriptions of Zahndrekh trying to drink wine and spilling it everywhere, they knew they had to find a way to escape before Obyron decided to get rid of them.
Won't lie thar sounds like a hilariously intense game of cat and mouse
Zahndrekh: aka the Lovable forgetful Necron grandpa. He is amazing.
Mr. Magoo, 40k
This podcast made me fall in love with the necrons
The spooky bois are amazing.
@@TunnelDragon44 at first I didn't like Necrons at all because I thought they were just all mindless terminators, but now the named necron characters are my favorite in 40k
Battlefleet Gothic Armada II contributed a lot to my love for the Necrons. For the first time ever i saw that the Necrons have a goal, their actions have aim and sense and that they can ignore their grudge to achieve a greater goal.
MY SKELEBROS WILL REIGN SUPREME NYEH HEH HEH!!!!!!!!
@@Mediados _Armakun_
Zandrekh: Oh it's getting late, I require to sleep.
Necron 1: Should we tell him?
Necron 2: Nah, don't bother.
On the topic of him eating every time he’s supposed to eat Obyron just tells him the food was poisoned and he can’t eat it.
The voice I gave him is Pontius Pilate from the life of Brian “Come now my fwend Oborwon, we must go pwepare bweakfast for deh Pwisonows of Wah”
not a bad idea actually
And Oboron would be the Centurion Captain from Life of Brian, trying to keep him from making a fool out of himself
@@sugarcombfilms3467 exactly
‘What’s so funny about Twazyn da Dwipfinite? I have a vewy good fwiend in da Uwtwimaw sewctow who’s cawwed Twazyn da Dwipfinite!’
Ork: "Dih sumbudy seh *WAAAGH* ?!
He is so epic that the character is based on Don Quijote. Zhandrek even has a special rule on the boardgame called "Solar Mills? Charge!"
"Oh poor Obyron, of course they were old ones! It was merely a use of their warp trickery to turn themselves into solar mills at the final moment!"
I could just imagine varguard just killing a pow and his boss coming in and varguard just moving the elf under a carpet or kicking the body somewhere to hise the body.
Oh, an episode about Warhammer's android version of Don Quixote! I was honestly expecting an episode on Trazyn first due to just how much of a fan favorite he his, but this was a really nice surprise!
Kind of surprised the Battle of Uttu Prime wasn't mentioned. But understandable since it was a one-off mention in one of the Codexes. Zahndrakh is actually rather infamous among the Imperium for being the one to unleash the first recorded Megalith (basically a gigantic Monolith that can carry legions of Monoliths inside it) on humanity. It was a Superweapon so destructive it wiped out 3 full Regiments of Catachans, and 3 full Companies of Imperial Fists. And noted to be one of the most one-sided and catastrophic defeats in both forces miltary histories. And from his perspective it was just him playing with a toy he doesn't get to use often!
That sounds horrific, yet charming at the same time
"For you, the day Nemesor Zahndrakh unleashed his Megalith upon your forces was the worst day of your life. For me...it was a pretty awesome day since I don't get to play with it that much."
Zahndrakh standing before the entire imperial force: BEHOLD…. (Megalith teleports behind him) My stuff! Heheheh, this is gonna be fun!
Imperial leadership: You’ve got to be kidding me….
When you play Action Figures with the kid who has the G.I Joe aircraft carrier
The Necrons will always be a very interesting faction because of the three faces they take on in the lore. From one angle they are unfeeling, undying, robots. Then you have all of their meme characters like Trayzn and Zahndrekh, adding comedy to them. Then you have the reality of their situation, which both Trazyn and Zahndrekh actually embody, they are a dying race, cursed by their own immortality. Zahndrekh, when he is lucid, points out that they have nothing to do, they either fight constantly to occupy themselves, or sit still and let the thoughts regarding the loss of their bodies take over their mind for the rest of eternity. Trazyn points out that his race is dying and along with it, while he is immortal, his memory is failing. His collection is largely motivated by three desires, to preserve his memory, to preserve what remaining artifacts survive from the Necrontyr, and lasty to retain the appreciation of art and creativity that his race has lost since the biotransference.
The Necrons are really the most tragic race in 40k. Cursed at birth to live half-lives, they searched the stars to find immortality. They paid the ultimate price to achieve what they thought they wanted, and through the eyes of the Silent King, save their race. Now they are cursed again, their immortality means nothing in the face of their soulless existence. Their metal forms took away their ability to repopulate, and as such, they are only destined to die out as attrition from war, decay, and the flayer virus, slowly but inevitably reduce their numbers.
...worth it
Okay, but why can’t they repopulate using other species?
Just perform biotransference on your favorite organic pets to make them into new Necrons and spice things up.
@@cassandrabelyeu2419 That's like putting clothes on your dog. It's still a dog.
@@_lime. Wouldn’t you want your dog to live forever?
Also, you can upgrade their intelligence by giving them a better computer.
@@cassandrabelyeu2419 I think you misunderstand what Necrons are. They aren't robots. They're living metal. They don't have computers for brains, they have metal for flesh. They can't just upgrade their intelligence.
Also Zahndrek is the only one that could Pose a real thread from the inside for Imothek, but Zahndrek is almost as loyal to him as Obyron is to Zahndrehk, because Imothek made him Nemesor of the Sautheks(currently the strongest dynasty even with Szarekhan in the field) and He tries to reach the Form of Idol a Nemesor has to be in the Moral Codex of the Necrontyr
That's kinda dope ngl.
"you can put lipstick on an orc, but it's still an orc" gotta remember that the next time my ex is calling.
Dude, you killed her!
Big burn on you for going out with an orc, though.

Yes.
I kinda imagine him as a very upbeat Dr. Fransworth and Hermès actually
I genuinely think that necrons would be amazing cooks, so besides the whole "being a pow" thing, that white scar, eldar, and tau had probably the best meal of their life until oberon went full on doom slayer

Everyone: Thank heavens that 2020 is over.

"ENJOY THE CLIMB BACK UP, *BITCH!* "
Zandrekh and Obyron are like Theseus and the minotaur from hades. I want a space marine captain or something trying to tell him what the empire of man is and he's just like "trouble me not with your lies fiend, have at thee!"

Obyron was at Szandrehks side since his first ever campain
14:40. When Zahndrekh was making that quote. He claims he was humouring his bodyguards "delusion" that they where all robots.
He's just having a ball with this whole general thing
In The Infinite and the Divine, at the start of one of the chapters, there’s a quote from Nemesor Zahndrekh, The Logic of Battle. So this means that Zahndrekh wrote the Necron Equivalent of Sun Tzu’s, The Art of War. Making Nemesor Zahndrekh, robot skeleton Sun Tzu. With fake dementia
"All warfare is based"
- Nemesor Zahndrekh, probably
Fits with Sun Tzu's basic principle of all warfare as far down as feints in one-on-one combat being based on deception. Might be a ruse to make him appear weak where he is strong.
@@SatyreIkon ah yes, that was my favourite quote from sun tzu
'when all else fails, pretend you're senile'
Its not fake. Author himself said while he has his lucid moments (where he STILL likes to live in denial) he really DOES see himself and others as necrontyr.
You guys aren't even mentioning how funny the quote is, going along the lines of: if you are encirled, you can either retreat and be remembered as a coward, or die and be remembered a hero. Given these two options, i would consider encirclement generally inadvisable
I love Luetin and others, but DAAAMN I need more Necron lore.
Bratře toto je channel který nám dá juicy Wh40K lore
@@jaroslavmartinec9720 Dal a stále dává. Už mám přes 1k bodů Necron armády.
It's like that scene in Robin williams Pan, the kids sit down to eat an imaginary feast. Just a banquet table filled with empty dishes.
Hes literally Don Quixote. Also I’d love to see a Necron “Wink”
Oh hell yeah good old robo grandpa this is gonna be good
The flayed ones try and eat things (people) too. It’s described as the meat falling out of the slats in their metal ribs. So I assume he puts whatever he eats in his mouth hole and it just falls in his lap and onto the floor without him stopping to notice.
That must've been one awkward breakfast
I just wanna read about whatever happened at that scene. Who ate, what did they have, did the different captives talk, stuff like that
What was the title?
Incidentally the novella Severed is all about Zandrekh and Obyron and it is absolutely fantastic, a must-read if you enjoyed this dive into them
I hope that Chyron the dreadnought will be mentioned at some point. Or just a whole dreadnought episode.
Surprisingly some of the best written characters for being monotone killing machines.
My eyes swell with manly tears remembering the ABSOLUTE Chad that is Rylanor and his ability to tell Fulgrim to fuck off in the most beautiful way
i like to think that zahndrekh is completely sane and is just fucking with everyone.
“This is a more happy episode”
- proceeds to talk about a robot with dementia (probably)
He's totally the old grandpa who gives you food and candy even if you say your good.
I can just imagine him meeting trazyn the infinite
Between Nemesor Zahndrekh, Vect, Rakarth, Lelith and the Drukhari, Motley and the Harlequins, Lucius, Erebus, Eldrad and the Farseers, the Thunder Warriors, Sly Marbo, Draigo, Maugan Ra, Cain, Trazyn, and the orks in general; I am convinced a part of this universe and its lore is just Jackass 40k edition.
"Hello fellow organics" is the T-800's command line.
I love this. I would love to see someone do an in-universe podcast that is just a bunch of different reporters from the different major races (human, T'au, Eldar, maybe even an Ork) doing a sit-down interview with Zahndrekh, like something out of a daytime talk show. It would be absolute GOLD.
Can't wait for both the Trazyn and the Imotekh Video
The two are great contrasts to this guy, here we had Alzheimer's necron lord, now let's talk about necrons kleptomaniac and necron Warmonger!
I'm a delivery driver for a food company, and this is how I pass my time while I drive. I have moments where I literally laugh out loud. Thank you both
I just realized, at the end of this video, that the thing in the jar next to DK in the art is a smooth brain haha
honestly forgetting the biotransference is probably a good thing, considering how painful it could be..
I have a weird theory, he still has his actual soul, he knows it because he actually has emotions in stark contrast of other high ranking necrons who have none or almost no emotions (most high ranking only have a shadow of their personality). So he creates this facade of insanity but balancing it out with his genius to stay in power, because if the others find out he still his soul or atleast part.... he would be in *major trouble*
I love this cast so much, I hope it takes off so well they make it a weekly deal.
THE OMNISSIAH HEARD OUR PRAYERS AND BLESSED US WITH ANOTHER EPISODE
Somehow took me 2 years to realize this, but... Don Quixote feels like the inspiration for this character
Much as i love the DK and Bricky commentary, i also love the little bits of Shy unspoken comments 🤣 so glad this got put together and is on going
I absolutely want a Sitcom with Zahndrek as Main Character now :P
zhndrek trying to eat: you hear spagheit slap aginst the recever
I can only imagine those prisoners from different races sitting awkwardly at the table having to eat their breakfast. That is hilarious.
I see them as an eccentric old English lord and his very caring, very serious butler.

I can just see him at the head of a dinner table with a knife and fork in hands just looking at his POW guests with jovial laughter while saying stuff like "Come on fellow fleshlings, feast!"
The Necrons look a little like the ABC Warrior from Judge Dredd if the Necrons had the jaw from the Catachan Jungle Fighters
The start of this video aged like 40-thousand year old milk
The real question is who's the necron chef? A flayed one?
@BenjaminTheRogue that is adorable.
The ten people who disliked are the tau that thought titans were imperial propaganda
I love how wholesome some necrons are
The inspiration behind these characters is clearly Cervante's Don Quixote. Zahndrekh is the deluded chivalric knight, living (perhaps deliberately) in a world of greater meaning to him. His accomplice is Sancho Panzo, who sees the world as it is, but has inexhaustible love and loyalty to his liege. Its part of the genius of 40k to take a classic of World liyerature, and trabsplant it so effortlessly into their own lore world.
Just let Zahndrekh and Obyron be voiced by Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond in an adaption. :D
After the Silent King episode I thought he was my favourite but this new one is too good not to be my fav.
"The hope is that around summertime things will get to return to normal"
*[SCREAMING]*
It’s really fun to watch this channel grow and go back and watch old videos about where it’s all started
It's crazy where you guys are at today so awesome
This guy is the Don Quixote of Necrons. I love this guy. Thank you for this Bricky, DK, and Shy. I've started from the beginning after a few episodes. I don't play, but I enjoy the lore. Makes me wanna play lol
Omg, This is like the most adorable character in 40k
Wheeee, great to hear a new episode drop. You guys are doing great work!
Zahndrekh is just having fun.
Holy crap, you guys are pumping these out like crazy. Awesome!
Has anyone noticed that Zahndrekh's model is dabbing?
I didn't know how much I needed this, until it came.
Zahndrekh and Obyron are my fav characters in all of 40k. They are fantastic.
Also totally headcanon them as Husbands and I will fight over that
Necrons are my first love....but the sisters, they're slowly approaching....soon-ish.
Necrons don’t care about letting their ennemies live (and leave).
Because each times a Necron takes a nap, when they wake up, every single non-Necron they knew will be long dead of old age ANYWAYS ^^
The Zandrekh/Obyron combo gave us one of the only turn one melee deepstrikes in 9th edition and redeployment flexibility/general and total battlefield chaos that would make a Blood Angel jealous,
and I absolutely loved it.
Horus and Sangy's epic bromance, Fulgrim and the Gorgon, the Emperor and Malechor (or however you spell his name); these universe-changing love stories for the ages have nothing on the eon-spanning bond between a pair of immortal, soulless pieces of sentient metal.
Even better: after said melee deepstrike, you could teleport them back to safety behind your lines (or your Seraptek Heavy Construct, also known as the most badass piece of terrain to ever grace a battlefield).
The 9th edition Necron codex was an imbalanced mess, and I kinda miss it.
I enjoyed Firewarrior! I never finished it and I actually was not into Warhammer at all when I played it. I only realized it was a Warhammer property years later when I was truly introduced to the setting, models and games!
Khorsarro Khan: Anyway, after it was all over, Zahndrekh took us back to the crib and served us pancakes.
...Pancakes.
I demand a Zahndrek sitcom!
I discovered these videos and I fell in love, which inspired me to get into the game!
Thank you guys for posting your content on youtube. It has made my long work commutes far more tolerable, and has furthered both my knowledge and enjoyment of the 40k lore!
First, amazing series guys! Am super happy to finally have someone talk me through the lore in the least dry way possible while appreciating the absurdity and allegory of it all. Second, am chuffed to hear that 40K somehow has its own robotic Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Or at least the thing of the bumbling boss and the competent sidekick (I'm thinking of Futurama's Zapp Branigan and Kif; Inspector Clouseau and his sidekick in any of the Pink Panther stuff)
Goodnight sweet prince. Rest in peace
Love the podcast! My hope is that you’ll talk about the grey Knights or the sisters of battle in the near future! Keep up The good work guys :)
You guys have introduced me to warhammer 40k with this series. I loved warhammer fantasy but just saw 40k as too much thanks for proving me wrong
