"Gaze upon this."
*laughs condescendingly*
"I cannot see a thing"
*wheezes*
Somewhere in the warp: "They will be forced to cease and desist any decade now. Just as planned!"
In a universe where every other faction's armaments are considered "overpowered" by Sci-Fi standards, the Necrons take that a step even further.
A very wise insight, My Glorious Overlord
Useing a rocket to dropkicki some1 in the groin and they go flying into the sky?...
(the rocket acts like a leg,
i mean a rocket the boss climbs on in saints row 4 type big,not a missle from a weopon.).
and thats why it's awesome
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!
When even the Necrons decided that to use a galaxy wide map/super nova weapon is a bit too much then you know they have some cool shit. But to be fair, even the Imperium usually does;t like using planet/system destroying tech either. it is considered such a waste that if used even an Inquisitor can get in trouble over it.
The terrifying thing about the Necron is just how common these weapons are to them. It's not like other factions (extant or extinct) don't have truly terrifying things in their arsenals - D-Weapons for the Eldar, Golden Age humanity's weapons able to force a target to occupy the same space-time location, Death Guard Plague Grenades, etc - it's just the Necrons have stuff that can rip through practically anything as a standard weapon.
That golden age weapon sounds cool, especially since the milkyway moves about 600km/second. If you were made to occupy a static position and not a vector, you'd either be turned to mist as your planet overcame you as a negligible but unmoving obstacle to it's 3.5mach orbit around the sun. That or it would hurl away from you within a matter of nanoseconds, probably also killing you because atmospheric friction at those speeds would be like going through an overpowered lathe
@@jamesshore3191 Sounds cool, but have you considered a Bolter round to a Heretic's face? And if one doesn't do the job, then use more.
@@jamesshore3191it’s described to destroy its target( space vessel) by annihilation(?) due to 2 instances of it, one of which is temporarily displaced occupying same space.
@Ake-TL that's extra as hell, a 72kg person would would produce a 1.67gigatonne explosion. If that was on a planet that's nuclear winter at the bare minimum, and basically a small super volcano eruption.
@@jamesshore3191 You're just not believing in the Emperor enough. Believing harder.
I love Necrons. Mostly because they are they are the hard counter to Tyranids, but you take what you can get in 40k.
Chaos too
They're pretty much Anti-Everything
why the dislike for the only good faction in 40k
@@ashardalondragnipurake Because they terrify me.
@@Atromnis embrace your place as biomass in the glory of the starchildren
let your genetics be embraced and become one with divinity
you will live on forever as a component both in body and in soul as the hivemind takes you into its multitude
Loved the necron designs in Mechanicus.
I keep asking myself when exactly Carl Friedrich Gauss went traitor and defected to the Necrons?
Your Warhammer content is perhaps some of my favorite stuff on CZcams. It doesn't seem to get the love your SCP content does, but I'm still very grateful you make it.
They made a community post a year or so ago saying they were making more Warhammer videos because they were starting to do better than their SCP videos. You should be able to find it. I forget the details, but I do remember people freaking out thinking Exploring was retiring or dropping SCP altogether. I like learning about Warhammer because I know nothing about it, and Exploring is thorough enough that I get it without being bogged down by the obsessive minutia that other channels get into. Yes, as a person with a degree in lit. I can appreciate the small stuff because it is important...but it's also Warhammer. Ya know?
@ChristopherSadlowski Exploring is how I started out with it. I've only played the table top once but I've started reading the novels and keeping up with new releases because of these
I found your channel years ago thanks to an obsession with SCP articles, and came to really enjoy your content because of that. Now that I've gotten older, and slightly more gray, I enjoy the fuck out of your 40K videos too. And I would desperately love a little more longer form 40K videos like with some massive SCP articles.
Much agreed! Long form 40k videos from The Exploring Series would be the bees knees!! I assume they're probably working out how to approach that but it is, admittedly, a gargantuan topic if you want to approach it on more than a surface level whilst also not getting sued lol
Luetin has Warhammer vids that are unmatched on the Internet.
I highly recommend his content.
For SCP's the exploring series is the best.
Now this suits you, reading off details of technology and the history behind the tech works well with you reading like a document or presentation more so then a epic lore story. 10/10
Another perfect video to go with my Warhammer 40k rogue trader playthrough
If you haven’t yet, watch the 9th Edition 40K trailer if you want to see what being shot with a Gauss Flayer looks like.
Necron Overlord: Nice Heresy-era Land Raider you got there, be a shame if something happened to it~
Now read that like it’s a mob boss from Jersey.
“You’ve eh, you’ve got a nice army base here, Colonel.”
“Yes?”
“We wouldn’t want anything to happen to it.”
Meanwhile, Trazyn is literally stealing entire armies for his museum lmao
The art at 18:44 is awesome.
Man if I was on that battlefield I would would be like "can't we go fight a giant bug or demon or something... Anything but death itself."
OH BOY! 3 AM!
It's crazy these 40K and free audiobooks don't get the same viewership as the SCP vids :P
One of the craziest weapons I ever read was the necron Gravitic Trebuchet, designed for accelerating asteroids at faster than light speed, literally it's just throwing a Rock but so fast that obliterates everything in the path
Yeet taken to the logical end step
In Warhammer 40k, scissors cuts rock.
I am so happy you started doing 40k stuff. I used to love ur scp stuff but i fell off and moved on to 40k then you popped back up
I love you didn't even elaborate on what the Death Ray is because the name says it all
18:46 so mostlly=great power=great responsibility=
the inperium hates the guy that just bombed 20 planets to move the tyrinids away,most people dont just blow up a planet.
The elder dont use a kain giant to kill alot.
And necrons dont use the c'tan or overpowered map alot because time travel stuff.
I absolutely love the necrons and they are the whole reason I got into warhammer in the first place. Great video.
For the first time in a long time, I was awake at 3 a.m. I checked this channel at, like, 3:12 a.m., and there were already 16 comments! 😅
When i first got into 40k, the Necrons had no background outside Old, Deadish, Evil... The Egyptian theme is both obvious and pretty cool but there was something about evil ancient robots(?) that only had like 5 different units( warriors, immortals, destroyers, lord, scarabs) plus the Monolith but thats All they needed!
The "But wait, there's more!!" of Warhammer arsenals.
Hearing space Marines talk about how terrifying necrons are was eye opening.
With the hints that The Emperor may be coming back, I think the idea is that there’s a new scale of escalation that’s coming to the war. For Humanity, the old technology will get thrown out in favor of new. The Necron and Tyranids will come in greater force. Chaos will unleash more stockpiled madness (like how Khorne has a whole chaos planet of orks that he’s not using.) The Dark Eldar don’t really need a buff, as they’re already doing what they do pretty dang well, but the Craftworld Eldar, maybe they finally find someplace to settle that’s safe. Maybe one of the forgotten gods or one of the captured ones break free and create a plane in the Warp that is more similar to what the Eldar knew it as way back in the ancient times. And the Orks…I mean, they’ll just keep doing what they’re doing, just looting bigger and better toys.
Now, this theory does have one, major problem that can’t be avoided easily. The Tau would be destroyed. No question. No excuses. I like the Tau, but they already are hanging on by their nails. This escalation would destroy them utterly.
My introduction into the 40K universe was the game Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and I've always loved the design of the Necrons. Egyptian themed death robots? Who doesn't think that's cool 😂
Now this is what I've been waiting for
I hope you also cover the carcharedons, I love them Space sharks or the Sisters of battle
Great stuff. A clip on Tyranid weapon symbiotes would be great too.
My favorite things about the Necrons are (1) Trazyn the Infinite existing, (2) Nemesor Zahndreck believing that he's still flesh and blood, and (3) that they have access to a device that could literally obliterate any system they choose at any time with no way to stop it and it's _not_ one of the weapons so apocalyptic that the Silent King ordered it destroyed after the War in Heaven.
The reason they don't use it to destroy their enemies? Its primary function is realtime simultaneous information about the galaxy as a whole, because physics is even more of a joke to them than it is to anyone except the Tau, and they aim to _reclaim_ dominion over the galaxy, which they can't do if there's nothing to rule.
It's Warhammer 40K, at this point the laws of physics are more the _suggestions_ of physics
Not every warrior users flayers, they can now use gauss reapers as well
Man, I LOVE the Necrons so much! They would be tragic as long as you didnt compare their level of tragedy to anyone elses in that friggin' univers.
Lore question: has their been any recorded tomb worlds in the eye of terror?
Great idea for a story.
I always enjoy Exploring Series videos.
Oh yesss, I'm always happy to see a Necron video
Right off the bat, a legion of green eyed metal skeletons.
Oh BOY!!! ITS 3AM!!!!
Necrons are wild and have some of the coolest toys! 🤩
The tomb sentinal is my favorite necron unit..... A giant lightening fast centipede construct with blades that are atom sharp and a gun instead of face that fires atomizing beams......
I've always been of the mind that necron weapons should have an strip effect based off (armor+toughness - weapon strength) to reflect more accurately how the weapons work.
The Deathmark's sniper rifle has to be one of the most disappointing things the necrons in tabletop has besides the doomsdayark...... Such a cool unit idea..... Slaved to a gun that beside range is functionally the same as the infantry variant and no longer deals mortal wounds.
The doomsday ark being the second with a gun that in lore is only challenged by titans but in game struggles to kill even the smallest vehicles thanks to its rules.
Months ago, I left a comment saying that you were probably the only person who could ever make me like 40K.
I was correct.
Thank you sir!
Yes finally more info on my favourite Warhammer Species Hell Ya.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
I thought the tyrinids/oarks were the only pain type weopons for aleins that tryed to kill,but -0% empithy/inplyed.
Great video, keep them coming please
Need more videos like this!
Great video, thanks!
you mght want to consider some necron books like The Infinite and The Divine. An overview of the 40k novels would be awesome.
Midnight upload?!, oh hell yeah
Id like to argue that the Orkz have canonically won Warhammer
Night shifter back again. Love you!
Techno-egyptian music intesifies!
Very Nice!
Yooo the undead robots
Awesome video idea.
Can't wait for the series IX skips reading
Can't wait 'till the people new to this universe reach the part about the map of the galaxy
hahahaha what the fuck. necrons have a Turn On The Big Dark weapon, that's wild
9:11 necrons have the wonderwaffe?!!...
LFG! MORE NECRON CONTENT PLEASE!
15:10 humans keep seeing necron spaceships watching us in the sky.
hot
Thank you
I know it's a pretty big commitment, but I was wondering whether you'd ever consider doing a reading of The King in Yellow? It's one of my favorites, and I'd love to have an audiobook of it to put on at night. There are a couple versions of it on youtube, but for some reason your voice is the only one I can stand when it comes to readings. Either way, great video!! I'm loving all the Warhammer stuff - it's been a good introduction to the universe for me.
Odd thought, but I'd like to hear you and Oculus Imperiala collaborate on a video sometime. Two scholars of the 40k universe, so to speak.
16:35 advent colinise ship 4th ability?...
Fun video overall!
I am a necron lore nerd though, so here are some various nitpicks;
heavy gauss cannons aren't a thing for a long time now, gauss destructors are their replacement.
Idk if the orrery should really be a weapon, especially if they don't at least mention the anti-ctan weapons they used.
Missed a tomb blade weapon, the particle beamer.
Command Barge can have a gauss cannon or tesla cannon, it's not locked onto one.
Doomsday cannon would be better described as one of the most devastating weapons necrons field, not possess.
Just grouping Night&Doom scythes and night shrouds into normal fighter/bomber roles without mentioning how they are aggressively multi-role in nature is criminal
Tomb ships aren't super rare, they're about as (if not more common) than battleships for any other faction (save nids). They are still in low numbers overall ofc, necrons don't have an absurd amount of navy active, but that is different to rarity within their navy. Also they are able to easily defeat imperial battleships, since they outclass every other standard battleship in the setting.
Tesseract vaults are only needed for the stronger c'tan shards, smaller shards can be contained by good ol' labyrinths.
Necrons are a bit more awake now, but in a civil war, but they were spot on in how the setting will retain the status quo indefinitely
Very hyper advanced to the point of magic.
No one may ever "win" 40K, but good money would be on the Nekron.
Boney boy time
13:04 they look like the dark elder 1s?...,who made it 1st?...
14:31 so the vassari=inspired by dark elder mostly and some of the necrons.
Necron = The greater good
For added horror remeber that the necrons are still creating new things.
This is not a stangnant race..
*OH BOY! IT’S 3AM!!*
What about reapers? A squad of warriors with gauss reapers is the most OP thing in 10th right now.
*CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE MUSIC IN SCP 60001 VIDEO*
Just wanted to pop into the comments to let you know that you are my favorite CZcams channel.
With a lazgun you can walk that off but with a Gauss weaponry no no no you’re gonna be made into dust.🐱
Welcome to the B O N E Z O N E
The only faction that can 100% defeat the Tyranids
Gauss damn
Can you go some lore videos about my cat Henry?
Ah, the ol Necron.
The old man in the galaxy yelling "Get of my lawn!"
But with gauss rifles and reanimation protocols.
God i wish i was a necron collector
Will we ever get "Exploring Warhammer 40k: Feet of the Adepta Sororitas"? (April Fools perhaps :) )
A funny think is the most powerful weapons they have at least of on the tabletop I think is the Ctan shards
Releasing The literal Grim Reaper, The very god of Death. The nightbringer and seeing your troops being drained by life by a shard of Death God is just ridiculouse
Never played 40K but I enjoy the videos. I pretend it's a new alien. But seriously, these weapons seem like you would barely need a huge mass army with them. One "dead guy" can wipe out an entire battlefield. Freaky stuff...
Some human weapons created during the dark age of technology could rival necron weapons, and even surpass those of the Eldar.
Necrons
Exploring Series introdced me to the SCP Foundation and Warhammer 40K, both of which have consumed hundreds or thousands of hours of my life. Exploring Series is a bit like a benign crack dealer. I mean that as a compliment.
I feel like the tyranids and those scarabs should never meet.
Still boggles my mind that some of the art in this video come from the MTG collab.
MORE MORE MORE WARHAMMER PLS
Necron supremacy
They are just out of control green coca cola vending machines.
Perfict timeing even tho I'm late
If Necron armaments are so good, then why does Trazyn keep stealing my Bolter? Is he stupid?
Id probably sneeze on the orrery and destroy a whole quadrant of the galaxy😂.
Do you has a flayvor? Nomnomnomnom goes the guas flayer.
Do Necrons ever lose in battle?
Lets goooo
God damn i am fast today
