Everything's worth the money. about the money, D.K. Snow was about the money, Spider-Man. Actually, it's kind of about the money.

Oh, yeah, it's always about the money. It's always about the money. Anywho, also, book club, Bruke-Kunnan. The episode will be out at the end of this week, so finish it up, and we're going to be talking about it. It's pretty good.

I didn't realize that we were having a Disney princess book for a book club. Ha-ha. Yeah. Yeah. The princess is like the, um, oh, shit. It's like, he's like the hound of brutal con. Well, he's not quite as lovable as hound, but same idea. Lovable little sidekick. Lovable little sidekick. It's great. Yeah. Anywho. Anywho. Um, D.K. Hey. Uh, I will. People seem to like the, the quotes before. Oh, shit. The one where it was a sister and I thought it was.

was tyrannid because I heard hive and I fixated on that. You'll never, ever, ever live that down. It's fine. I've done more things and I probably will do dumber things. Go ahead. Let me tell you of my future. My hand will reach into the stars, reshaping the galaxy into a place of order and unity. Under my reign, the kingdoms of old shall live again, reborn to an age of power and

glory, the like of which you can only imagine. I will rule every planet touched by the light of this star, and even in the darkness beyond, my name will be whispered with fear and respect. Oh, boy, this sounds like a bad, this sounds like a tyrant. This sounds like some kind of a ruling tyrant. So, first thing that comes to mind is either a primark or a necron. Like one of these, one of these hoity-toity necrons that wants to just, like rule over everything.

Ooh, you, uh, you are correct on one of them. Oh. You know, since it's you, I'm going to say it's, it's, it's a named Necron character that comes out of like the, the big sleep and is looking, is looking to conquer. I am fucking floored that you got that 100% correct. Let's go! Absolutely. Now, Ken, do you think you can name this character?

Um, I don't know that many necrons. I mean, we've talked about a couple. Maybe the, I'm going to go out. Maybe the Storm Lord. Let's fucking go! Let's go! Let's go! I have made amends for the Tyranninid mistake.

Let's go. I am so proud of you. Immatech of the Stormlord Farron of the Sautek Dynasty. Let's go, dude. Let's go. Very nice. Very nice. So, me and Shaw were discussing this a bit.

You know, naturally, we got those big episodes, the Primark and the Space Marine Legions or a faction overview, that kind of stuff. However, you know, in the beginning, we did those pretty often. We kind of want to slow those down, save those. for the really good days. And then, you know, like, for example, you know, it's also behoove of me. It's the moment we get the new Dyson to probably do a big topic. So.

Do you say it behoove of me? Okay. Is that incorrect? It behooves you. No, it's behoove of me. Sure. Sure. It's a good thing.

It's, it's better for us. It's advantageous for us to do it that way. I don't have to be right. I have to pretend like I'm right. But yes, it is. And it also is good for us because it lets us have a little bit of in-betweens, nice little character stuff here and there. And then big episode,

and then a little bit of in-between. Because if we do like all the Marine Legions immediately, well, then we're just left with our side stuff. Yeah, then you got to scrape the bottom of the barrel for like these weird little side characters nobody's ever heard of. And it gets weird, sure. Yeah. I understand that.

Yeah. But as a Necron boy myself, as a big Necron fan, I wanted to do the Storm Lord. So here we are. Talking about the Storm Lord, it isn't, there isn't too, well, there's a bit of lore, but there isn't like an insane amount. And that's honestly fine by me because it actually has a decent, there's a decent, like, understanding of the character, which I think is very nice. Cool.

I like it. So, Imatech, the Storm Lord. He is the Farron, and I'm sure you remember the Farron is the overarching leader of a certain dynasty, the top dog number one. Like the Pharaoh. Like the Pharaoh. It's a fair run to be legally dis-any. Emotech, not Imotef. If we're going to steal it, we can't make it obvious.

Of course not. Put an end at the end. It's not Pharaoh. It's fair on. Put a K-H at the end of every single Necron name. He's not Emo-Tep, he's Emotech. He's Zan Shrek. Yeah.

From the South Tech. Hello, it's very different. So, he is the Farron of the South Tech dynasty and is most likely the strongest and most accomplished Necron overlord in the galaxy. I think including the Silent King. I was about to ask, like, where does he rank with the Silent King then? Because I always understood that the Silent King was like the one with the Necrons. So the Silent King is, and naturally the Silent King, both in terms of power and as a model,

would probably kick, like, Imotech's ass, because he's got a gigantic floating dais with all these giant laser beams and he's bigger and he's got the best material, you know. But in terms of actual army mustering, Imotech actually has a... and beat because the Silent King's return was rather recent and most Necron see his return and they're like oh yes the king is our leader is our glorious leader is back and they bow to him but

Imatec went and said fuck off okay great leader of wigs fuck off all right it is wonderful because basically I forget the exact

kind of quote or something but they're both kind of douchebags to each other. However, he basically, the short of it, basically said, Hey, Silent King, you're a coward. You left and cried your little baby tears when all of us, you know, slept, you betrayed us, and you're a bitch. I ain't doing shit. It's my turn.

Oh, man. That's the short internet version of what he said, I'm sure. I mean, from what I remember. from what I remember, he's kind of right. Because he kind of did, but isn't he also keeping watch to make sure, like, the tyranids and stuff don't destroy everything? They all went to bed, the Silent King left, and he stayed in between that space in between galaxies, and he kind of just sat there in contemplation, like paying atonement for his sins, because he had mega depression. And then chilling out there, you saw a bunch of bugs start entering the galaxy.

He's like, oh, no. And then he ran away. Time to wake up the boys. Yep, everyone, get up, get up, get up. Because naturally he wants to make sure everyone has a soul again. He wants to return them to the flesh. And you can't do that. There's no flesh left because it's all been eaten.

Yeah, that'd be tough. So why does the stormwater hate him so much? It's not like he actually betrayed them. He just He's been tormenting him He signed the pact with the deceiver To turn them all into robots Oh

I forgot that part Yeah now granted he was in a sense Deceived But you Is that what the deceiver does? No Road to hell You know paved paved with good intentions

Yep Yep yep yep He had he has one But he was also green He wanted to kill the old ones Because they were cringe And he's like Yeah I'll use

the immortality for his people but he also wanted to kill the old ones because they were cringe so the storm lord's hatred of the of the silent king makes a lot more sense why doesn't everybody hate him then if he's the one that did it and sort of sign their sealed their fate as like necrons why don't everybody hate him because he also led the revolt against the katon and saved them from damnation. Oh, well, boy, I have forgotten a lot of necrone lore. Boy. So, king, main leader of necrons, all with super cancer.

You know, if one to get old ones to give them mortality, old ones said no. Then they tried to kill old ones, didn't work, found the Caton. And it was like, hey, Katan, or the Katon are like, hey, I can make you immortal. And they're like, dope, gets made immortal. They eat all their souls, use them as slaves. and then eventually Silent King fights back against them and frees them from the bad life and then turns the katana to Pokemon.

Gotcha, gotcha. And they all go to bed. His throne has one that powers it, right? Yeah, it's great. I love that because when the Silent King dies, he explodes on a four-up and the rule is called vengeance of the unchained. It's great.

It's the guitar breaking free and being like, oh, I'm so angry. I love it. That's great. So good old Imotech, He was actually a Nemesaur. You may remember our boy, Zandrek. So Nemesore is basically a high general.

And he awoke from the great sleep way back when, not necessarily way back when, but he awoke. And the planet of the South Tech dynasty was known as Mandra Gora. And it had mainly survived it intact. However, it was beginning to fall due to ambition. Because the ruling Farron of the Southwark, South Tech Dynasty had died during hibernation. His sleep didn't work.

So a whole, now we know about necromb politics, a whole bunch of South Tech nobles were like, free seat! I want the throne. And they all immediately, for the next maybe 10 years, where it's stuck in this giant civil war on who can regain the throne. I'm surprised it only took 10 years.

So it would have lasted last. longer because no fact she was truly able to gain victory. But during this time, all the dudes that were fighting over the throne decided that high-ranking noble revival, like waking them up, was to be suspended because they didn't want any more competition for the throne until someone picked it up. That makes sense. Now, if it had continued, it probably would have just torn the planet apart and they would have all died.

However, there was one part of the- particular guy, we don't really know who he was, but he was one of the people fighting over the throne, and he said, I'm going to reawaken the famous grand general Nemesore Imotech. Because if I had him as my support, I would not be able to fail. So Imatek awoke and he was like, what? What? What are you doing? What the fuck are you all doing? Who the fuck are you? And so instead, he took two robotic middle fingers, stood up and waved them in every direction, mustered his own army, and took the throne for himself. Oh, okay. Damn. He killed all the other nobles that were trying to get the throne. Because he's a grand general.

Killed them all. Took an army, took the throne back for himself, and said, fuck all of you. I want this. How long did that take him? Not fairly long? Well, I mean, long in terms of like, sure, in a sense it might have taken long, but not like super long. I was just going to say that there's like a 10-year civil war and then within like a span of a year, he's the stormlord just like, yep, got it.

That sounds about right, yeah. Whoa, okay. Some looks like we got a badass over here. A little bit. It's like meme. Yeah. Good Lord. So when he awoke or after he was.

crowned pharaoh, he immediately forbade or forebode any kind of infighting within the realm. If you are trying to fight for a position of power or killing someone else to try to gain their seat or something of that nature, that will be like immediate death. If you try to circumvent the normal like law and order process in any way, he's going to go curs on your ass. Any kind of in, no, any kind of infighting is a waste of time. time, effort, and resources. Naturally, if not everyone, like, adhered to this in the beginning.

Yeah, and I guess that's where the law came from that, Infinite and the Divine, and why they're not allowed to, like, kill each other, and you're only allowed to forward the necrons, and there shouldn't be any infighting, and why they were so uppity about that. Yeah, at least for that major dynasty, because obviously this is the South Tech dynasty. A good boy. I think actually, I think Orican is of the South Tech dynasty as well. I know Trazen is of the Nahalak dynasty.

Because it's mine. Thank you. But in the beginning, of course, this law wasn't really taken into account much. But eventually, Emotech made quite a few examples of them. And then they started to be like, all right, all right, we won't fight anymore. I'm sorry, Dad. He's serious business. he's not fucking around.

Let's not try him. First, about people, they were like, let's try this fool. And Storm was like, find out. Yeah, fuck around to find out,

kid. However, between his like, complete, like, iron-fisted rule and his very quick military successes

of all the nearby worlds, his position became basically unassailable, and the only real person, the only true person who could actually maybe make a challenge for the throne is Nemesor Zandrek

and his good bodyguard, Vargard Oberyn. However, that Zandrex's loyalty to the Storm Lord is so unquestionable that he's not really of any threat. Okay. The only person Zandrek

really answers to is Imotech. Okay. I thought you were going to say it's unquestioned because Zandrich's too busy trying to figure out how to eat cheese or something. There's also that. I sure do love cheese? This has been fermented for years. Why would humans, it's, oh well.

Now, if anyone should appreciate the importance of being fermented for years, it should be the necrons. Oh my God. Fair enough. Granted, though, I know a lot of people tell us about this or make it occasionally. A lot of people think that Zandreck actually is made, like, fooling. where he's not actually He's just pretending that he thinks he's human Yeah well organic not human

Oh you're right sure But no A lot of people think he's pretending I think they don't quite get that properly I believe if I'm not mistaken The original writer of Zandrek had like a close friend Or a father with dementia And it was

It's more of like he has moments of clarity Yeah And when he has the moments of clarity, he kind of does this little wink and he's like, well, why not played the fool and enjoy life, you know, as if I was still alive kind of thing. If I was a robot, why wouldn't I just enjoy life, wink, wink. Yeah. So he's kind of like simulating robo dementia, essentially. Yeah, he's kind of joking about it a little bit. Sorry, he's joking about it when he does have his moments of clarity

But I think he legitimately believes he is a robot or he is organic Yeah However, just sometimes a lot of moments of clarity He just kind of runs with it because he's like I really like battle I really like being a general I have all the things of my disposal might as well keep playing it Playing it up Yeah, he might as well I mean if it's working for you

I gotta say this Zandreck quote because it gets me every time See oberin the separatists come, attempting to outflank me just as they did at the the fourth battle of Vindach. How they calculate that daubing themselves green and roaring like savages will produce different outcome, I cannot fathom. But it is of no account. Ready, my legions, and that their glorious victory shall be ours.

Oh, oh. I have heard you say that quote at least three times, and it gets me every time still. It's just so funny to me. carving themselves in greens and yelling like a bird. That won't change anything. Silly organics. Doesn't know the difference. So, Emmetek, as a, he is arguably,

I think I say this a lot, because that's just the way I am. But as far as, like, top strategic minds, it would probably be, like, top five. Oh. In terms of, in terms of, well, like, smart generals, because Necrons are very good generals. That's like, they're kind of shtick.

They're insanely good leaders, or, like, um, like leaders and they're, they're great tacticians. That's the one I'm looking for, tacticians. Yes. Because they're walking supercomputers, essentially. So it's like, you know,

they should be good at that stuff. Yeah. He's up there, I think, along with like, Gilliman and Dorn, you know, like, he's, very, very intelligent. Every attack he does, you have no idea what the hell he's doing.

Is this attack actually his main attack or is it a decoy rayum? Is he bleeding your reinforcements or is he seaging something else you don't know about? He has thousands of contingency plans. Every possible thing is accounted for and made a plan for.

If you try to do this attack, he has forces ready. If you try to use speed, he has traps laid. If you attempt orbital fights, he, like, he's so incredibly good

at his tactics. So has he ever lost? Because as general as he is, you know, he might occasionally go hand, go toe to toe with other major people. And then there's always things that he may not have accounted for,

you know, like things like knowledge you don't know about until it arrives. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, you know, like, you got to write a compelling, interesting thing. If you never lose his little more. You can't just be perfect.

Yeah, then he's just a big Mary Sue. Well, that actually being said, let's talk about some of his flaws. Because for all of the amazing things that he is good out, all of his, his methodology and all of his ability to somehow always know so that what you're doing at every step, his insane tactics. he has two particular problems. One, he fucking hates orcs. Okay, so he's like the rest of the galaxy, sure. He has the same problem that Abmec does in brutal cunning,

where no matter how much he tries to plan for the orcs, how do you understand, how do you understand an army that makes no sense? How do you fight an enemy that makes no sense? You can't fight the illogical with logic. He often only has like short-lasting victories over green skins because they'll eventually find some way to get back in him because they just don't make sense. The concept for him, because he obviously has this hatred of the orcs,

but that's just, that's just orcs in general. Yeah. Now for him, his methodology is that when the galaxy is washed clean of the blood of inferior beings, Necron dominance will begin anew. So he's a little racist. Yeah, I would say he's a lot racist. That's that's genocide on a on a historical level.

He believes that everyone is on his lawn. This is like, yeah, order, unity, obedience. We taught this galaxy these things long ago and we will do so again. He's full on. I mean, this is most necrons, they think this way. But he believes that like, yeah, we owned the galaxy and we had to go bed. We're back to reown the galaxy. Do not fuck

with us. Is this like our destiny and our right? Hmm, man. If all those necrons ever wake up, it's going to be a bad time. If the neck, the only thing keeping the necrons from taking over the galaxy is the

issues they're having with sleep, with like the long sleep, the slowness of their politics, and the fact that their numbers are high right now. because they haven't woken them all up. Speaking of, he has actually awoken 80 tomb worlds, 8-0 tomb worlds. As of prior to 9th edition,

he has now awoken 120 Sautek tomb worlds. That's a lot of tomb worlds. This is why the Silent King can't challenge him right now because he has 120 worlds of necrons at his disposal. How many necrons you suppose are on a tomb world, give or take? Because obviously every planet's going to vary in size. How many necrons are in a tomb world? Like one tomboral could be the size of Jupiter,

one could be like the size of fucking mercury, and it's like, okay, there's a bit of a disparity here. So I was curious. On average, how many necrons are we looking per tomb world? Nobody knows, because nobody ever knows, because that's just the way G. GWS numbers, they don't really know, but I would go millions to billions. Ah, ooh.

Yeah, I guess depending on the size of the planet, you could easily have billions of sleeping Necron on it, yeah. Yeah, especially if they're all locked in like, Lux Step, they're all right next to each other and everything. Yeah. I'd say millions to billions. I'd go millions just because, maybe like tens of millions, just because necrons tend to be very, well, a lot of them are damaged during the awakening.

So I was going to make an assumption. Yeah, so you're not going to get every Necron on that Tomb World to wake up potentially. You're going to have a lot of errors. Yeah. Also, yeah, lots of conoptic stuff, like scarab swarms and shit like that. Oh, right, right, right, right.

And he's got 100 tomb worlds at his second cold? 120. 120 tomb worlds. Damn. Though, even with all of this, he does know, even with all the South Tech dynasty stuff, he does know.

He cannot fight the galaxy with numbers alone. So for him, he is a big fan of terror. Oh, so he's like a Necron Night Lord. Maybe that's why I like him so much. I was going to say that's all of you,

mm-hmm. So the Storm Lord part of him is his actual ability to conjure like, like fuck with the atmosphere and conjure lightning storms. That's legitimately an ability he could do because he's because because necrons like their tech is so advanced it's practically magic oh yeah i was about to ask how to fuck you do that well how does or can do the things he does

like yeah i mean he's literally a time mage basically where he can go back in time and forward and fuck with yeah he's a he's a he's a he's a technologically advanced mage yeah um but because of that often his armies advance on the enemy under the cover of storm black sky with green lightning bolts arcing out of the clouds to hit their foes and sometimes enemy armies will enter like

the mist practically like Stephen King's the mist and it'll just disappear into the mist with a bunch of necrons waiting for them and so you just got so like you've got this big shadowy mist encroaching

firing lightning bolts and you just see like lines and lines of green eyes in lockstep with each other and then like green lightning bolts powering up through it just through like this mist colored area it's fucking creepy That's so dope though

That's that's the army you want to be a part of Hell yeah it'd be terrifying Imagine not walking towards you Oh man like that's well I mean if you're fighting other necrons Are you really gonna be able to psychologically Win a battle with them because you're all robots anyway That's very true

However the necro he does have one real weakness and that's his pride. He really likes to display his superiority over the other commanders. So often he will, similar to Zandrek will actually let go the commanders of the enemy army to as in the idea is that they get sent back with the knowledge of failure and the fear of Imatech to spread the fear across their armies and create unrest. However, the lesson he takes is more of like,

I want you to live with your inadequacy. Like, you are a failure and you've lost against me. Like, go live with that. And he'll normally take like an arm or a leg or a hand to like sever one of their limbs as like a prominent reminder. Yeah, some kind of physical mutilation. Sure.

The problem is that very often the generals will come back and instead of sewing fear will now have a bit of a better idea on how to fight him. I was going to say, that's got to come back and bite you in the bud because now that one soldier can be like, okay, here's what all the necrons are doing. They let me go. I guess I thought I was going to be scared and terrified, but nah, this is how you fight them. And they're going to come at you with the storm. Don't walk in the storm. Fight him from a, yeah, that seems like a bad idea. Yeah.

Like there's a great quote that shy beat me to But he says you have ruled this galaxy for 10,000 of your years and yet you have so little to account to show for your efforts Such failure must be as depressing to bear as it is shameful to behold Which is he spoke to the chapter master of the black Templars This guy named High Marshall Hellbrecht He's the he's the model with the little wipey dude wiping his sword Oh yeah With the meme and you wanted someone to

no one ever photoshoped that guy on your forehead. I thought that was gonna, I thought that was gonna bombard you and it never did. The fuck internet? That was such an easy slam dunk. There's a really great

jab. So Helbrecht goes to Imotech and says, you are a relic of a dead empire that has no right to exist. And Imitech says, I find that amusing coming from one such as you.

I mean, they're both, right. Yeah, a little... They're both right. I don't know if Necron's don't have a right to exist, but it is hypocritical as fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man.

So, he does have a long-standing... They have a little bit of a rivalry, yeah. Okay. Not necessarily long-standing, but there's a bit of a rivalry there. The thing is that, yeah, his own little martial hubris is kind of coming back to bite him a little bit.

And his, it's like excessive expansion. is also. Marnius Calgar, chapter master of the Ultramarines, is taken note of his expansion. And in fact, some necron activity is starting to get really close to Ultramar. So you know, Necron's supremacy, whoop, whoop. The E&D and Farsiers of the craft world have sensed that their craft world is under peril, possibly, in the future, due to his expansion. In fact that Imitex armies are as big of a threat to them as the tyranids. Even the Tao Empire have seen the expansion of the necrons increasing and are starting to get worried themselves. So he's attracting attention from a lot of people he doesn't want attention from.

Yeah, it sounds like he has attracted the attention of literally everyone. You've got Space Marines, you've got Tao, Eldar. He's attracted the attention of, but it had to come to that eventually. Like if you're going to wake up all of the necrons, eventually you're going to be on everybody's radar. You can't have the biggest army in, like, the universe

without getting a couple blips. So it's kind of inevitable. I don't know, do you really think that's like a downside slash weakness? It's a weakness if he keeps on getting, if he did what Hitler did in World War II and bite off more than you could chew. You know, he's like, I'm gonna go fight the Russians, runs all the way in and then loses everything and dies.

Yeah, true. If he decides to go after all of these factions, that's a problem. But if he's tactical about it and he, you know, he doesn't challenge the Eldar Tao and Ultramarines, he should still be okay. Yeah, I mean, well, It depends on if anyone wants to go fight him and stop it.

True, but chances are if one of those factions thinks that this big, oh my God, the Necrons are such a threat, it's just going to be them because the Ultramians aren't going to go fight with the Tao. The Tau aren't going to go fight with the Eldar. All three of those factions aren't going to join up with each other. So chances are you're only going to have to deal with one of them. And if you only have to deal with one of them, then the Stormlords Army should be more enough to deal with that. Depends. Depends. The Eldar and the Marines might work together.

Oh, that's true. The Eldar and the Marines would work together, right? Well, the Black Templars probably wouldn't, but... That's how Gilliman got his wifu. That's true, yeah. Ah, yeah, you never know. Good old Yvrain, yeah, where they have no real romantic connection to each other, but let's all ship them anyway. Anyway, good old Imatech, our boy, so he's maybe biting off a bit more than he can chew. But it hasn't come to a head yet.

So we're curious to see how it turns out. As for him himself, he's got some pretty neat stuff. He's got as necrodermis, of course. He's got a phase shifter, which is the ability for him to kind of like, it's like a force field. It kind of stops things from, uh, yeah, well, it's not really a force field. Actually, it's more of a defensive device that has some kind of phase in between realities, so things might not hit him.

Oh, okay. He's got his gauntlet of fire, which is his hand thing. It's literally just a flamethrower in his wrist. But he also has the staff of the destroyer, which is a giant ornamental

staff weapon. That's like a combination of a staff of light and a war site that can fire out blasts of energy but also stab people. And was, in fact, attempted to be stolen by Trays in the Infinite multiple times. Of course.

Of course. He has tried to take it multiple times and has failed. But the coolest thing that he has is something known as blood swarm nanoscarubs. Oh, boy. Before knowing what it is, it just sounds like a bunch of nanomachines that come out of his skin and just swarm someone and eat them alive. Nanomachines, son. Son, yeah.

They are hard in response to physical drama. Now, Bloodsborne nanosclerbs are miniaturized, very mini, mini, mini scarabs that when are launched out will go in like a little cloud of flies, and they will probe at enemy's armor for flaws and then begin to feed inside the armor and then breaking down the plating, leaving it vulnerable. And then they burrow and dig into the warm flesh underneath the armor. however. However, it's the mummy. It's the way tinier, like ants. Oh, that's creepy to think about. Because look at the image shy posted.

That's a space ring being swarmed by regular scarabs. Oh, I've never felt quite. Is that a, what chapter is he from? Blood red tear drops of Blood Angels. Bloods. I've never felt so sorry for a space marine. That seems like you're going to die and it's going to be horrific. Yeah, it's a very painful way to go.

They're up to his torso. Holy shit. But in particular, these ones burrow through the armor like little ants and then they eat through your flesh. But what makes it even worse is that the blood that they spill because of these nanoscarubs is incredibly potent and a truce. packs of flayed ones. Oh no.

It's a beacon. It's a beacon the flayed ones that will occasionally come out of whatever horrifying dimension or whatever they're at and like snip it out like sharks. Oh no. I was like, oh yeah,

it couldn't possibly get any worse than being eaten from the inside out. Oh, boy. And then it summons flayed ones. ones. So while you're still getting eaten from the inside out of flayed one shows up and just start skinning you and eating you? Well, it summons packs of flayed ones. So in order to go with his whole like fear mentality, he'll do this. And then he'll have like a guardsman squad just get assaulted by 20 flayed ones and start ripping up the entire battalion. And then they start wearing them as

hats. And he's like, oh my God. Get the fuck out of here. Guys, what happened to Danny? I don't know. That flayed one's wearing him as a coat. Danny literally has a coat. Danny is the coat. Nice coat. Danny is the coat. Yeah. Nice Danny coat. Nice Danny coat. Flayed ones are so... Ugh. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

Also, why are the Necron's, like, staff so much? Because... Like, every name Necron has a staff. Every name Necron has a staff. Like, the Stormlord's got one, Trazen's got one, Oregon has one. It's literally their weapon. Egyptian, stabs, sign of royalty. Yeah, but you can't use a...

What's the curved blade called? Warsithe? No, no, no, it's like a sword, but it's like curved, like a half moon. It's, um... Oh, crap, I can't think of the name of it. Shai! Cimitar? No, it's like, it starts with a K.

Um... Um Copesh! That's the one. Warframe has a couple of them and they suck and nobody likes them, but everybody thinks they look cool. The Copesh. The capesh. Yes. Yes.

I knew she'd know. She's smart. Okay, well, they... I guess they could, but they don't. They use staves because they're royalty. Don't forget. These are like nobles. Yeah, I guess.

But like all of them? Well, no. but the main people like this is imotech is an overlord Orican is the diviner he's a high cryptic Trazan's an overlord the silent king is the silent king

Nemesor Zandrek is high general and overlord Vargard Oberyn is a lord Like that's yeah I guess I guess the royalty would use like Pretty hardcore staffs and they wouldn't use Yeah I guess Remember the named characters of Necrons are almost all Royalty because they still have their minds

The ones that don't have their minds don't have character because they're like lower warriors or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Also, Necron's do use Scyth's. That's true.

The, what is it, the female executionary, infinite, and the Divine uses a Scyth, right? But she's not really a high royalty. She's named, but that's different. Well, she's a Triarch Praetorian. They actually have their, they actually still have their mental state because they protect the king in particular

and they serve him only. Yeah, but it's not like their royalty where they would need a staff. They could use Scyth, and it's not that, yeah. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Overall, they're definitely more on the staff, like ornamental thing.

Necron. Like, overlords use war sites and void sites and things like that, yeah. But staves are a sign of royalty. They tend to use staves. Yeah. The staffs, all the Necron staff seem a little overpowered. As they should, since they're, you know,

the sign of leadership and royalty and look at how big and bad I am. Yeah, Necron's in general are overpowered. That's their deal, so. Fair enough, yeah. They just need to get more of them awake. Wake them up. Sound the alarm bells, you know? Waking them up.

Yeah, no, actually legitimately they do need to wake them up. Yeah. Well, I don't really got a whole lot else after that. Oh. However, Emmetech, his model sucks. It's incredibly, old and terrible and I'm really sad about it. I mean, for an old model, it's not

that bad. Like, it sure as hell beats out the old guard models that have, like, the melted faces, you know? It's not that bad. It's dated for sure. But he's resin and that's like... Oh, no!

He's really bad. I don't like him. I don't like it. I hate... I hate resin models. Resin models are the devil. Almost every single one of the Necron characters besides the Silent King and like the new Zeres is resin and I hate it. Oberyn's resin. Zandrex resin.

They're all resin. I don't like it. Orkin's resin, Treason's resin. So do you think they're just waiting to make like a Necron? Like you know how like they had the Hexfire box and they're about to have custodians and jeans? Do you think they're waiting to make like a Necron box that has one of these like new Nope.

They already did. It's just GW being GW and they're not making something that is popular and heavily wanted. No, they already did it. They made the box in the beginning of ninth. That's what launched with 9th, was Marines and bronze.

Right, oh, but what about just making like a new, a new treason, a new Stormlord, or a new Sandrick? Is that just GW being like, hey, we know this is popular and everybody wants it, but here's another batch of Ultramarines.

Uh I don't know I think maybe they've done their Quota on Necrons or something because they gave it Because they released the Silent King Like just recently And

They gave us Illuminaur Zeras The guy sucking the dude up And they gave got him really recently as well That was an upgraded model Um So they've been They've been fair to the necrons They have given us actually

Quite a few new Necrone kits Like Okay. Maybe like 10 or something. Quite a, quite a lot, actually. Eldar fans are like, come on, man. They gave them 10. We haven't had anything in 30 years.

Well, they'll get there soon, I'm sure. We'll see. Fuck the elves. Man, man, fuck elves. I mean, obviously I do hope they get there. They get their stuff. I think warp spiders are really dope, and I want warp spiders to be good again. What are warp spiders?

Cool little teleporting dudes with cool claw guns, Eldar, they're neat. Cool. I mean, I want, I hate, I hate fighting Eldar vehicles. And that's like, all that's good right now and all that's decent looking. So just fix their infantry, GW, please. I don't want to do it anymore. If you could have one mini get revamped and released as a new mini by GW right now, what would it be? Any mini?

Any, like you could tell them what the next new mini is going to be and they will insta make it. What are you telling them to make? Shit. It's like such a loaded question. You can't put me on the spot like that. There's so many things. There is. Um, uh.

See, listeners, I've, I've just taught you how to permanently like, uh, brain freeze Bricky. I don't know. See, he's going into overload now I don't Do I do I Do I pick Chaos got a good refresh You know what?

Give me, give me Treason Give me give me Trayson Give me give me Trayson Okay I go with that I will take Trayson I The Chaos models are

Mostly pretty good Mostly Custodians are recent Don't need them There's a lot of guard ones Sure But guard are like Like they already

Kind of look I'm not going to spend my one option on a tiny character That's barely the size of a guardsman, you know? I'm not gonna spend it on that I like the idea of Trayson getting a new model Because there's so many cool things you could do with him Like you know he got the one Necron like sucking someone so Like you could have some really cool shit surrounding like

The base of the model or other little doodads they're hanging off him too So I think a new updated Trayson would be Chumasuech Change my mind Commissory Yark Oh Commissar Yarek Extra

Extra points if I get to his special Bainblade Because this is what Commissar Yarek looks like right now And he looks like shit Yeah, I've seen that many It's terrible He looks like a zombie

He really does Compare that to like What he's supposed to look like And it's just oh my God It's bad All right It's real bad Yeah
