You know what will be funny, you step up to Tranzyn, ask him for his autograph, and while you are screaming with joy to recieve signature from the greatest collector, he freezes you in his statis prison, put you on display with the tittle card says: "My First fan"
His antics with the diaramas remind me of Chief O'Brian and Dr. Bashir in Deep Space Nine making a diarama of the Battle of the Alamo and playing holosuite programs of world war 1 and 2 air battles. Their colleagues just don't get it. They're in the middle of a war, how can they relax by fighting battles of the past for entertainment? But the two of them have a ton of fun doing it. Also you're account of the Tyranid breakout makes me think of the Arbiter's campaign in Halo 2. :P Then again, I wonder if maybe the Tyranids inspired the creators of Halo.
it would be interesting to see the imperium learn of the captive primarch and do a crusade to release him, but i imagine this would be far down the line
I was definitely wondering if he would attempt to take the God Emperor, I am not at all surprised he was thinking about it. I think it would actually be a good idea. Trazyn has a lot of stuff and important figures to the empire of man. Let's say the Imperiam finds out where the Emperor is and free some their men.
I'm surprised you haven't talked about Trazyn's constant beef with the Salamanders. Where he keeps going to steal the artifacts of Vulkan from Vulkan He'stan and keeps getting killed. He just materializes back on his home world and is like "damn, I'll get you next time" He's an absolute gremlin and I love it.
Salamanders should almost let him collect them. he might even already have some of the ones they still searching for. He would totally bring Vulkan back and vulkan would fight his way out i bet.
Golden Throne, Eldar Sticks, Orks with their shootas; Primarchs and daemons and even freebootas; even those Tyranids tied up with strings; these are a few of my favorite things~

Trazyn is easily the most relatable character in 40K. He probably has a giant pile of gray plastic that he'll definitely put together and paint at some point, but grabbing just one more model kit wouldn't hurt.
there was one dialog that summarized him perfectly Orican - "you can't steal from the dead" trazyn - 'yeas I can it's called archeology" In my opinion best dialog in whole warhammer series. That crazy cleptomaniac is an equal part of comedic relief as orcs
I appreciate how Trazyn is basically the best boss you can ask for in a universe like 40K. Most obviously was the human Koloma who worked for Trazyn and remarked about all the things, big and small, that Trazyn did to make his life better (far better than his human masters) with Trazyn stating that good service should be duly rewarded. The entire exchange was shockingly somber and tender for the setting; the way that Trazyn finally notices how old his servant has grown and how he changes from boss mode to that of sitting beside a friend’s deathbed, how Komola asks Trazyn if the world will be destroyed and Trazyn takes care to tell him a half-truth to spare his feelings. Then there’s his trusted Necron advisors. When Orikan infiltrated his museum and destroyed some of his oldest and most precious artifacts, Trazyn never blamed his people for failing to stop him even as he impotently lashed out at Orikan with redirected asteroids. When they were discussing Orikan’s actions at the trial, Trazyn’s advisors were free to give their opinions even when they went contrary to Trazyn’s. I feel like having a boss who won’t blame you for disasters beyond your control and values the honest opinions of their workers is a commendable and rare trait in bosses today, let alone in 40K.
I really wish they'd make another novel about Trazyn, while The Infinite and the Divine was pure comedic gold, it did bring a lot of depth to his character and to Necron lore. The whole passage with Koloma is one of the more interesting i've ever read in any 40K novel for so many reasons. We know for a fact Necrons tend to view all other races as inferior and primitive, even the Aeldari who are more advanced than all other races safe for Necrons themselves, and yet you can really see that Trazyn was genuinely sad to lose Koloma, and not just because he was doing a good job and his loss was an inconvenient, but because he realises too late he basically forgot that he was immortal, and that what seemed like the blink of an eye for a Necron was an entire lifetime for a Human, i think he even feels guilty about it ? He also makes sure Koloma has a quick, peaceful and painless death, a proper funeral which is a luxury in 40K, and that his family/children are well taken care of. Doesn't he make them an "anonymous donation" to ensure that they're pretty much set for life financially ? It really one of the more sombre moment of the book, made more impactful by the contrast with the generally lighter tone of the story.
I see Trazyn as one of the most fair characters in 40k. He values artifacts from all races and tries to preserve the history of them all as he sees the value is their historical items while they'd happily destory another races history if they could.
The Grimdark part of it though is that the things he collects are alive and are in stasis for thousands of years. By the time they awaken most of whatever they fought for like their families and friends have long been dead.
@@Truthorfib unless he decides to get a deal and steals their family or friends everything else though is long gone so they would still probably be depressed knowing everything they once knew is gone

The Inquisition caught wind of this and decided to go tear down the statue, but by the time they got there Trazyn had already stolen it

Isn't one of Trazyn's most treasured artifacts the old walking stick he had while still in the flesh? If I remember right, also has a soft spot for ancient Necrontyr pottery.
Bro it’s gonna turn out they’re somehow made from Geneseed derived from Trazyn himself. They’ll become his only true friends, and together figure out a way to steal the Emperor himself, with Trazyn promising that he has a way to revive the Emperor and that’s why they go along with it
And yes I know that physically impossible but if ya boi Lucius can somehow possess a soulless necron swordsman and turn its living metal into whatever kind of flesh makes up Lucius, then why can’t a space marine chapter be the children of a different necron?
Here's the full list of his collection: The Prismatic Galleries. These are some of the most prized possessions of Trazyn and consist of holographic events recapturing events from history deemed worthy of preservation. These galleries are not populated by mere sculpture, but by conscious living beings transmuted into the holograph themselves. The last high council of Idharae Craftworld An exhibit showcasing the massacres on Tragus. A warband of Orks attacking an unknown blue-shelled invertebrate Xenos species. The catacombs of Calth during the Underground War An exhibit labeled "Doomrider's Folly" An exhibit labeled the "Death of Lord Solar Macharius", which is one-tenth composed of Imperial Guardsmen who are 300 years from the wrong time period. An exhibit labeled the "Last Stand of Ursarkar Creed" An exhibit labeled the "Last Questions of Historicus Ostalan Varus" An exhibit labeled the "Sword Both Stolen and Sought" An exhibit labeled the "Imperial Heroes of the Tyrannic Wars" An exhibit labeled "The Beheading of Goge Vandire An exhibit labeled "War in the Museum" An exhibit labeled "Angelis", which includes:Gorkamorka (the rocket ship), Mektown, and several of Orkz. A C'tan Shard that Trayzn has called the "source" of his power and the crown jewel of his collection. The fabled Wraithbone choir of Altansar Preserved head of Sebastian Thor Ossified husk of an Enslaver A giant man wearing baroque Power Armour, whose face is contorted in a permanent scream An Custodes Brother Cassiel of the Blood Angels, seconded to the Deathwatch. His face was frozen in a moment of fear. Raven Guard and Salamanders battling on Isstvan V. Carnac World Spirit shrine Acabrius War Catachan regiments A temporal device containing the Tyranid invasion of Vuros, which has been sparked by Trayzn himself (Disposed of after several full-scale battles caused by Tyranid breakouts). Horus Heresy-era Ultramarines Vostroyan Firstborn Regiments Lost Tanith Regiments Salamanders thought lost during the Klovian disaster. Inquisitor Greyfax and her retinue (escaped). The Bell of Saint Gersthal (disposed of after causing irreparable damage to his forces and collection). A twelve foot tall Krork in power armor more advanced than Astartes Power Armor. A damaged but still functioning Webway portal A troupe of Harlequins A massive stock of uncorrupted Emperor's Children geneseed (traded to Fabius Bile) A perfect clone of the Primarch Fulgrim as well as Flavius Alkenex and his warriors A Bride of the Emperor A Force of Sisters of Battle A Mechanicus Magos A force of Dusk Raiders An antique Dreadnought A Tyranid Hive Tyrant A T'au diplomat that was sent to negotiate with Trazyn A Destroyer Lord who attempted to scour an entire planet on its own.

Trazynd army just gets to use any unit and any ruleset he wants, and not even 40k. Yugio trap card, a Blood Angel Terminator, and a squad of Skaven Weapons Teams, plus a Goku chibi plushie.
Trazyn is, without a doubt, the greatest albeit obnoxious Librarian of Time. Screwed Up in His mind, the curse of pretty much living half an eternity, and dedicated to His Goal of preserving and collecting History. Thanks for giving him a good Time on Stage WesHammer, never Change 👍
@@lenoigel2626 Good Point. Still, Trazyn still is a Librarian. That's how I See him, yeah he's screwed in His mind. And doesn't Care If a world goes down the gutter; only focused on His Goal. His Values May be a bit more unconventional, but that's Not much different from others with the Same mindset and Grade of intelligence
Yarrik was really unique until they off'd him to justify a wagh against chaos. Having honored nemesis in the grimdark was kinda an awesome contrast to all the endless pointless war. The Orks belief in Yarriks badassery also warping reality to make him fight better and live longer is also an amazing play on a self fulfilling prophecy. Getting rid of that to just fridge him is a really lame idea
I like that people can die and things can change in 40k. but so far this does seem to be a step in the wrong direction. Who know's maybe Trazyn secreted him away to the gallery
@@Lazrael32 I can agree on both counts lol. Leaving the lore in a state of suspended animation, doesnt give it room to evolve and become as rich... buuuut, this still so far seems like a net loss since it takes something unique in the lore and removes it to justify actions that are far less unique. It's not like Yarriks death is the only way Orks would fight Chaos (nor even ur better idea of Trazyn collecting him) since these are both things that these factions/characters are already prone to doing. If ur going to kill unique a part of the lore-- I would like to see it result in a shifting the state of play in an equally unique way
Who says Gork or Mork won't do anything with Yarrick? I would not count on Yarrick being out of lore for long given how much Orks respect/love him and the power of waaaagh! and their reality warping.
After reading The Infinite and the The Divine, Trazyn has become my favorite character, next to Ciaphas Cain. But whereas Cain is the epitome of the good man that cares for his people, Trazyn is the trolling meme Necron lord who just lives to collect and to improve his collection, messing up with everyone. Trazyn you great bastard, take me for your collection!!
I have a suspicion that Trazyn's Mechanicus Buddy is Magos Varnak, the head of the unlucky team who first encountered the Tyranids on Tyran - in "War in the Museum" Trazyn cuts off the announcement about him at "Magos V-" before waking him up. I think Trazyn "rescued" Varnak, who agreed as he could keep sending his data back to the Mechanicus (Trazyn rather kindly sends it on for him).
I love Trazyn. Him and Orikan are hilarious at times in the Infinite and the Devine. A good book for any fan of Warhammer. Another top notch video Wes.
I"d say a good book in general. I barely stepped into 40k when i read it and it is so far not just my favorite 40k book, but one of my favorite books period.
I've never read or played 40K but this video was really cool, is it ok if read this book or do you recommend another one I should read before hand? I have a rough idea of some stuff in 40K like the war in heaven just from watching a couple videos.
having read infinite and the divine multiple times: trazyn is by far my favorite character in 40k right up there with commissar guant, hes funny yet strange, caring yet completely inhuman, he has deep depths to his character and hes simultaneously very simple. i think he is probably one of if not the most interesting characters in 40k, and i would love to just read book after book of him just going around "liberating" relics. his antics are endlessly fun.
I have a hard time finding 40k stories that scratch that itch for horror and the unknown. I love the stuff you're making. Also if that's you playing Fabius, great voice acting!
In the next update to the Ork codex, it should allude that Gazkull has gone missing, potential to find angreon. Then in the following Necron codex update it should casually mention Trazyns newest additions, a famous figure from the Astra Militarum and a rather large Ork that seemed very interested in freeing him.
I am sure this guy is based off the character that is immortal and uses his time to fly around the universe to insult each and every being personally and in alphabetical order from hitchhikers guild to the galaxy by Douglas Adams. He just has that … immortal cynicism
He has one of everything he threw a Bell destroying his collection into the web way just to F with the eldar I love him I'm happy you brought that up at, 27:26, and also the fact that he can have a galactic scale pissing match for millions of years lol
He probably has multiple artifacts that can bring back the Emperor into full strength and told the Imperium about it and doesn't give it just to troll them and probably has similar things for every other faction
Hold up, hold up, *HOLD UP!* Does my man Trazyn have a *FLOOD INFECTION FORM* in his collection?!?!? 6:52 This dude is such a cleptomanic, he's breaking the 4th wall and "liberating" from other franchises!
I started to watch warhammer lore videos, now I listen to the audio books during work.....Now I'm debating buying a Magnus model to paint. 🎶 HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME 🎶
Trazyn "liberating" the emperor would be so fucking funny. Imagine some metal dude rolls up and kidnaps your god, breaking FTL travel in the process, and then just puts him in an exhibit for all eternity.
I've been listening to the Caiphus Cain books, and I feel he would be a good character to do a deep dive on. Much like Trazyn, he is considered a humorous character in the 40K Universe.
Trazyn is amazing even though I love my Eldar ( Not them Dark Eldar wretches ) he is incredibly powerful and his book with Orikan is 1 of my favorite books of all time
Hey Weshammer I was thinking it be cool to see you do a break down on every legion and do full backstory’s like you did with the death guard I know it would take time so take all the time but if you can do this I know a lot of people would enjoy it and I know Halloween has passed but I’d love more horror story’s from 40k keep up all the amazing work you do and I don’t know for sure but I give you mad respect if you have to edit and do everything yourself because it just shows you enjoy doing every part of even you could pay someone to do it Ps we love you weshammer keep it up never stop doing what you love ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
Awesome video dude!!! I wouldn't mind seeing more of Fulgrim since his and most other traitors had fairly bad reasons for falling and it seems like their souls might have been shattered when they fell so this could make a bunch of sense on the lore aspect to one day have a loyal Fulgrim or a loyal Magnus.
I liked the idea that Fulgrim fell to the demon sword and was suffering inside. but then a later writer threw that whole story out the window. still maybe it was the demon lying.
You should do a video on Be'lakor. He is a super underrated daemon prince with deep rooted ties to fantasy and 40ks histories as a shadowy eldrech horror
Trazyn is GW's real CEO, he pulls strings to have fun since he lost his past, he tries to make up for it building a great story of the future, he nudges things on the right way to get the best one. I'm sure that he'll be a central figure in the avoidance of the end times.
Also, I appreciate sponsors for practical things like T-Shirts as opposed to Raid: Shadow Legends. I'm getting old, so there's that, but it's nice to get ads for things I need.
Wes I’m so glad I found your channel cause I do not have the drive to deep dive into Warhammer lore so far. Not only does it sound tedious and expansive, but it’s also confusing. However you seem to just outright make that not seem so. You make it simple, fun, and interesting to know more about the lore. I didn’t know much except Chaos before, but now I know things like Slaanesh was birthed from the Eldar being idiots, that there were orks so powerful that they rivaled gods, and that there’s a good daemon in Warhammer? Keep it up my guy! I always love learning more through you! ❤
This made me consider putting Trazyn as a canon roleplay character set in one of my friends discord RPs. I’m actually gonna try and keep y’all updated -update- So far Trazyn has managed to sneak into the villains HQ and stole like 3 relics. One of em being a fuckin deathray
Trazyn is one of the few characters in Warhammer 40k where him just living his best life doesn’t just not hurt anyone, but actually does some real good sometimes.
Trazyn is the character who got me into 40k, I watched your original youtube short on him and fell in love with him, now hes the leader of my necron army and my entire army is called "The Children of Trazyn"! Aswell as the connected lore between me and my friends armies have to deal with Trazyn wanting to add to his collection lmao
Trazyn is neither good nor evil, that is what makes him so interesting. He is the Professor Oak of 40k. He Pokeballed a Ork Gargant like it was Mewtwo.

The Prismatic Galleries. These are some of the most prized possessions of Trazyn and consist of holographic events recapturing events from history deemed worthy of preservation. These galleries are not populated by mere sculpture, but by conscious living beings transmuted into the holograph themselves.
The last high council of Idharae Craftworld
An exhibit showcasing the massacres on Tragus.
A warband of Orks attacking an unknown blue-shelled invertebrate Xenos species.
The catacombs of Calth during the Underground War
An exhibit labeled "Doomrider's Folly"
An exhibit labeled the "Death of Lord Solar Macharius", which is one-tenth composed of Imperial Guardsmen who are 300 years from the wrong time period.
An exhibit labeled the "Last Stand of Ursarkar Creed"
An exhibit labeled the "Last Questions of Historicus Ostalan Varus"
An exhibit labeled the "Sword Both Stolen and Sought"
An exhibit labeled the "Imperial Heroes of the Tyrannic Wars"
An exhibit labeled "The Beheading of Goge Vandire
An exhibit labeled "War in the Museum"
An exhibit labeled "Angelis", which includes:Gorkamorka (the rocket ship), Mektown, and several of Orkz.
A C'tan Shard that Trayzn has called the "source" of his power and the crown jewel of his collection.
The fabled Wraithbone choir of Altansar
Preserved head of Sebastian Thor
Ossified husk of an Enslaver
A giant man wearing baroque Power Armour, whose face is contorted in a permanent scream

Raven Guard and Salamanders battling on Isstvan V.
Carnac World Spirit shrine
Acabrius War Catachan regiments
A temporal device containing the Tyranid invasion of Vuros, which has been sparked by Trayzn himself (Disposed of after several full-scale battles caused by Tyranid breakouts).
Horus Heresy-era Ultramarines
Vostroyan Firstborn Regiments
Lost Tanith Regiments
Salamanders thought lost during the Klovian disaster.
Inquisitor Greyfax and her retinue (escaped).

A damaged but still functioning Webway portal
A troupe of Harlequins
A massive stock of uncorrupted Emperor's Children geneseed (traded to Fabius Bile)
A perfect clone of the Primarch Fulgrim as well as Flavius Alkenex and his warriors
A Bride of the Emperor
A Force of Sisters of Battle
A Mechanicus Magos
A force of Dusk Raiders
An antique Dreadnought
A Tyranid Hive Tyrant
A T'au diplomat that was sent to negotiate with Trazyn
A Destroyer Lord who attempted to scour an entire planet on its own.
A large tableau of Ork warriors in mid-combat.
A Shard of The Deceiver
The Ultramarines Lieutenant Castus
The Blood Angel Rafelo
The Plague Champion Repulgus Grue
"A T'au diplomat that was sent to negotiate with Trazyn" That one is my favorite. It is one of the most Tau and most Trazyn things in all of 40K.
@@Lazrael32 glad it’s not just me that’s cracked up on the detail of him getting put to the collection!!! 😂😂😂
Goddamnit Trazyn
eldar meme god: “you know, when i said my harlequins had an “important destiny” this isn’t what i meant.”
edit: you forgot the khainite warrior he has from the war in heaven
Damn, I want to see that Krork in power armor..
@@relight6931 there is a picture somewhere if you look for it
I imagine a Trazin-themed army list to contain at least 5% Lego minifigs, some of those old soft plastic silver knight figurines, Army Men miniatures and a few My little Pony figurines for good measure.
Trazynd army just gets to use any unit and any ruleset he wants, and not even 40k.
Yugio trap card, a Blood Angel Terminator, and a squad of Skaven Weapons Teams, plus a Goku chibi plushie.
@@Orapac4142 The last thing you want to hear, when positioning your scout marines is
"Ah-Ahahaha! You just activated my trap-card :D" Great.
If its the elements of harmony, he'd immediately win against every force of chaos
You gotta hate when the enemy Trazyn gets a Yatzee in the middle of the shooting phase man
MLP? HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE MAJESTY OF TRAZYN'S GLORIOUS COLLECTION.
Trazyn is, without a doubt, the greatest albeit obnoxious Librarian of Time. Screwed Up in His mind, the curse of pretty much living half an eternity, and dedicated to His Goal of preserving and collecting History.
Thanks for giving him a good Time on Stage WesHammer, never Change 👍
"the greatest albeit obnoxious Librarian of Time"
"UGH?"
@@lenoigel2626 what's there to UGH? If you have ever Seen one of the "The Quest" Movies, you'd know the reference
@@shikitohno8446 And if you´d know the Discworld, created by Sir Terry Pratchett you´d have gotten my reference.
@@lenoigel2626 Good Point. Still, Trazyn still is a Librarian. That's how I See him, yeah he's screwed in His mind. And doesn't Care If a world goes down the gutter; only focused on His Goal.
His Values May be a bit more unconventional, but that's Not much different from others with the Same mindset and Grade of intelligence
Loyalist Fulgrim would be the greatest redemption story in the history of 40k. What an incredible journey that would be
Yeah I don't think they will ever do anything with it though as too many people probably want daemon fulgrim
@@bionicgeekgrrl why not both?
Clone Fulgrim escapes and reunites with the Imperium.
Demon Fulgrim still intact and continues with what he's doing.
@simonback8227 it could happen, but I cannot see it personally.

@@simonback8227 Yeah, but it would shake the status quo. ;/
“Trazyn watching Weshammer Video and collecting them”
Trazyn: “Finally . . . I have them all.”
Lol
more likely collecting weshammer himself 🤣
Correct
He also wants you
@@oldhunterundol3243 Me?😨
Trazyn is such a collector that he has Ranni the Witch from Elden Ring at 3:24
Holy shit he does!
Iron giant behind her
Holy shit lmao Trazyn was the real Elden Lord all along
He caught Freddy Fazbear
He uses this image three times during the video
A couple of blood ravens or admech breaking into trazyn’s stash would be the best premise for a video game
Blood ravens would be all over this if this guy wasn't so stupid op
I believe he has a squad of blood ravens in the gallery
The best part it could be a stealth/action, horror and comedy game all in one
Dawn of war 4.
The one time that Trazyn meets his match: A whole unit of superhuman kleptomaniacs
Wes my dude I appreciate your existence on the internet, your storytelling and lore videos really bring me in to the setting.
22:47 Wait. Does he have Ranni the Witch from Elden Ring???! Man, nothing is safe.
Yarrik was really unique until they off'd him to justify a wagh against chaos. Having honored nemesis in the grimdark was kinda an awesome contrast to all the endless pointless war. The Orks belief in Yarriks badassery also warping reality to make him fight better and live longer is also an amazing play on a self fulfilling prophecy. Getting rid of that to just fridge him is a really lame idea
I like that people can die and things can change in 40k. but so far this does seem to be a step in the wrong direction. Who know's maybe Trazyn secreted him away to the gallery
@@Lazrael32 I can agree on both counts lol. Leaving the lore in a state of suspended animation, doesnt give it room to evolve and become as rich... buuuut, this still so far seems like a net loss since it takes something unique in the lore and removes it to justify actions that are far less unique. It's not like Yarriks death is the only way Orks would fight Chaos (nor even ur better idea of Trazyn collecting him) since these are both things that these factions/characters are already prone to doing. If ur going to kill unique a part of the lore-- I would like to see it result in a shifting the state of play in an equally unique way
@@austinmontalvo3273 yeah agreed
@@austinmontalvo3273 it could motivate Ghaz to take steps towards becoming a proto-krork so that he can stand toe to toe with Angron and kick his ass
Who says Gork or Mork won't do anything with Yarrick? I would not count on Yarrick being out of lore for long given how much Orks respect/love him and the power of waaaagh! and their reality warping.
After reading The Infinite and the The Divine, Trazyn has become my favorite character, next to Ciaphas Cain. But whereas Cain is the epitome of the good man that cares for his people, Trazyn is the trolling meme Necron lord who just lives to collect and to improve his collection, messing up with everyone.
Trazyn you great bastard, take me for your collection!!
I have a suspicion that Trazyn's Mechanicus Buddy is Magos Varnak, the head of the unlucky team who first encountered the Tyranids on Tyran - in "War in the Museum" Trazyn cuts off the announcement about him at "Magos V-" before waking him up. I think Trazyn "rescued" Varnak, who agreed as he could keep sending his data back to the Mechanicus (Trazyn rather kindly sends it on for him).
I love Trazyn. Him and Orikan are hilarious at times in the Infinite and the Devine. A good book for any fan of Warhammer. Another top notch video Wes.
I"d say a good book in general. I barely stepped into 40k when i read it and it is so far not just my favorite 40k book, but one of my favorite books period.
I believe their relationship in that book is the author's love letter to the 70s sitcom The Odd Couple. Trazyn is by far my favorite 40k character
I've never read or played 40K but this video was really cool, is it ok if read this book or do you recommend another one I should read before hand? I have a rough idea of some stuff in 40K like the war in heaven just from watching a couple videos.
@@solidman8360 yes you can read this book. It is a stand alone and a lot of fun.
He's like an unholy mix of Einstein, Deadpool, Dr. Jones, Dr. Hammond and the player. It's up thier with the Orks in sheer genius of design.
I would add the Collector from MK11 as well.
having read infinite and the divine multiple times: trazyn is by far my favorite character in 40k right up there with commissar guant, hes funny yet strange, caring yet completely inhuman, he has deep depths to his character and hes simultaneously very simple.
i think he is probably one of if not the most interesting characters in 40k, and i would love to just read book after book of him just going around "liberating" relics. his antics are endlessly fun.
*Gets Kidnapped by Trazyn*
*Looks at rest of 40k Universe*
"You know, this is a pretty good way to go, I'm in."
It would be interesting to see Trazyn go on a shopping spree and see what he can collect from the Vaults of Terra.
The old man fight with the two necrons was the best visual representation ever
I have a hard time finding 40k stories that scratch that itch for horror and the unknown. I love the stuff you're making. Also if that's you playing Fabius, great voice acting!
Thanks! I tried to channel my inner skeletor and mark hamil 😅
@@weshammer wasn't mark hamil Skeletor in the netflix show?
If you're looking for that, look up WesHammers vid on 'The Way Out' Definitely some Event Horizon and Lovecraft influence in that.
"You cant steal from the dead, thats called acheology" one of my favorite lines from The infinite and the divine
In the next update to the Ork codex, it should allude that Gazkull has gone missing, potential to find angreon. Then in the following Necron codex update it should casually mention Trazyns newest additions, a famous figure from the Astra Militarum and a rather large Ork that seemed very interested in freeing him.
Then in 11th alluding to the krork losing his armour and body...
[This comment has been added to Trazyn’s collection]
He's such a lovely guy. He yeeted a bell to the eldar as a sign of lolz.
Serves them right for being such stuck-up gits.
I am sure this guy is based off the character that is immortal and uses his time to fly around the universe to insult each and every being personally and in alphabetical order from hitchhikers guild to the galaxy by Douglas Adams.
He just has that … immortal cynicism
Sound interesting. Might have to read it
He has one of everything he threw a Bell destroying his collection into the web way just to F with the eldar I love him I'm happy you brought that up at, 27:26, and also the fact that he can have a galactic scale pissing match for millions of years lol
Hopefully we get a story showing just how annoying the bell turns out to be at some point with a random alderi shouting "damn you trayzen!"
My favourite thing about Trazyn is how he's friends with Cawl, even with their different ideologies
Trazyn is the only one who's not chaotic in the 40k universe.
So he’s chaotic neutral? Neutral good? True Neutral?
@@apolloknight9521 chaotic neutral. Cause he is kinda looney
I was about to sleep, then I saw Wes upload. Now we up watching with da BOYZ
He probably has multiple artifacts that can bring back the Emperor into full strength and told the Imperium about it and doesn't give it just to troll them and probably has similar things for every other faction
The Astra Militarum leader did not die. Trazyon got him. Now he is part of the collection.
I find it rather flattering Trazyn considers the emperor to be the crown jewel of his entire collection.
EoM probably the strongest being that's ever lived in 40k
I absolutely love this little gremlin of a necron. This is by far the best video you've ever made.
The necron to play warhammer in the warhammer universe. I dont think anyone really dislikes him
Hold up, hold up, *HOLD UP!* Does my man Trazyn have a *FLOOD INFECTION FORM* in his collection?!?!? 6:52
This dude is such a cleptomanic, he's breaking the 4th wall and "liberating" from other franchises!
I love trazyn so much. He’s just the best.
I started to watch warhammer lore videos, now I listen to the audio books during work.....Now I'm debating buying a Magnus model to paint.
🎶 HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME 🎶
Petition to make Trazyn the owner of the British royal museum
Who said he isn’t by the time the Dark Age of Technology happens?
Trazyn is just a Warhammer player in the lore he wants to collect everything and everyone for his gloryfied shelf
Trazyn is an amazing character. Ciaphas Cain is probably still my favorite and might make for a good deep dive as well!
Trazyn "liberating" the emperor would be so fucking funny. Imagine some metal dude rolls up and kidnaps your god, breaking FTL travel in the process, and then just puts him in an exhibit for all eternity.
He probably already has a pedestal display ready 😂😂😂. All he needs is to liberate the emperor.
Ah yes the most beloved character of 40k
I've been listening to the Caiphus Cain books, and I feel he would be a good character to do a deep dive on. Much like Trazyn, he is considered a humorous character in the 40K Universe.
Hero or Troll?
Yes.
Trazyn is amazing even though I love my Eldar ( Not them Dark Eldar wretches ) he is incredibly powerful and his book with Orikan is 1 of my favorite books of all time
Pretty new to 40k, a year or so, and so far Trazen is my favorite character so far. His determination of collecting is unsurpassed
Wait, so even as sick and frail as the Necrons were during their time as beings of flesh, they're still stronger than this insane fight? Damn.
Hey Weshammer I was thinking it be cool to see you do a break down on every legion and do full backstory’s like you did with the death guard I know it would take time so take all the time but if you can do this I know a lot of people would enjoy it and I know Halloween has passed but I’d love more horror story’s from 40k keep up all the amazing work you do and I don’t know for sure but I give you mad respect if you have to edit and do everything yourself because it just shows you enjoy doing every part of even you could pay someone to do it
Ps we love you weshammer keep it up never stop doing what you love ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
“Projectile vomits in appreciation”
Trazyn fighting to human: holyt fuck that's insane!
Trazyn fighting to necrons: give it up old man
Awesome video dude!!! I wouldn't mind seeing more of Fulgrim since his and most other traitors had fairly bad reasons for falling and it seems like their souls might have been shattered when they fell so this could make a bunch of sense on the lore aspect to one day have a loyal Fulgrim or a loyal Magnus.
I liked the idea that Fulgrim fell to the demon sword and was suffering inside. but then a later writer threw that whole story out the window. still maybe it was the demon lying.
Legend has it he's been trolling the Chaos marines with a tesseract trap. Trapping them in a loop
Because he finds it funny
You should do a video on Be'lakor. He is a super underrated daemon prince with deep rooted ties to fantasy and 40ks histories as a shadowy eldrech horror
The powerful ancient entity when the ubersreik five (or four, doesn’t matter) ruin everything for him
Trazyn is GW's real CEO, he pulls strings to have fun since he lost his past, he tries to make up for it building a great story of the future, he nudges things on the right way to get the best one. I'm sure that he'll be a central figure in the avoidance of the end times.
Also, I appreciate sponsors for practical things like T-Shirts as opposed to Raid: Shadow Legends. I'm getting old, so there's that, but it's nice to get ads for things I need.
Trazyn is a great character. A lot of the necron lords are cool.
Wes I’m so glad I found your channel cause I do not have the drive to deep dive into Warhammer lore so far. Not only does it sound tedious and expansive, but it’s also confusing. However you seem to just outright make that not seem so. You make it simple, fun, and interesting to know more about the lore. I didn’t know much except Chaos before, but now I know things like Slaanesh was birthed from the Eldar being idiots, that there were orks so powerful that they rivaled gods, and that there’s a good daemon in Warhammer? Keep it up my guy! I always love learning more through you! ❤
So Trazyn is basically W40k's version of Marvel's The Collector, got it. 👍
Trazyn is in my too three fav characters, easily!
Question: do you think Trazyn would go after the Prisoner of the Emerald Cave?
A deep dive into Erda and the other Perpetuals would be pretty cool
This made me consider putting Trazyn as a canon roleplay character set in one of my friends discord RPs. I’m actually gonna try and keep y’all updated
-update-
So far Trazyn has managed to sneak into the villains HQ and stole like 3 relics. One of em being a fuckin deathray
Why not the entire HQ?
You majorkill and the remembrancer are by far my favorite warhammer lore Chanel’s
For Trazyns final piece, it's him collecting a stasis cube of him collecting artifacts.
worst is, he likely can with his body-snatching tricks... hijack a lord body, collect shiny, stasis himself, hop into new body
Trazyn is one of the few characters in Warhammer 40k where him just living his best life doesn’t just not hurt anyone, but actually does some real good sometimes.
Trazyn is the character who got me into 40k, I watched your original youtube short on him and fell in love with him, now hes the leader of my necron army and my entire army is called "The Children of Trazyn"! Aswell as the connected lore between me and my friends armies have to deal with Trazyn wanting to add to his collection lmao
Trazyn is neither good nor evil, that is what makes him so interesting. He is the Professor Oak of 40k. He Pokeballed a Ork Gargant like it was Mewtwo.
Trazyn is the best character and nothing can stop me from thinking that
Trazyn: "finders keepers, loosers weepers"
"but... I didn't lose it"
Trazyn: "but I found it" 😐
