the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast. My name's D.K. Diamantis. My co-host is Bricky. We are going to be talking about some really ridiculous Warhammer 40K stuff today. But before we do, if you enjoy today's episode of the podcast, head over to Patreon.com slash

Adeptus Ridiculous. Bricky, where can these fine folks find some real top-tier quality merch? DK, I got to say. Today I'm really excited for this episode. I'm really, really, really excited for this episode because, well, a lot of reasons. The topic is a big part of it, naturally.

Naturally. There's a big part of that. There's some, I'm really excited to discuss this. We've got a whole lot going on. But also, I got great news. The dice are back in stock. Let's go. The dice are finally back in stock.

And this time, we have a lot. Now, I want to make a couple statements real quick before we get too deep into it. The reason they took so long is because I had to change the people I was working with for the dice because the last people were not fun to work with. And so I had to change it up, redo it all kind of crap. And so this new dice are a bit different material. I like the color and the Pips better, but they are a bit lighter as well.

And normally when you feel lighter, you generally assume like lesser quality naturally. Oh, right. You know, and I think, I think like it's kind of a side grade personally, but I can kind of see the argument for maybe them a little bit less. So because of that, the dice across the board have been discounted 20% to. make up for it. Oh, let's go. That's not like a deal. Like before it was 10 for 20, 25 or 35 and 50 for 50 for 50. Now it's 10 for 15, 25 for 2750 and 50 for 40. Okay, cool. The first one being the amount of dice, so 10 for 15 bucks, you know, that kind of thing. So that's a good deal. So it's been, they've all been discounted by 20%. I got plenty of dice, though. I still think it looked great. I love them. I literally played a game. My first game of Night Lords yesterday.

day. Oh, how'd it go? Well, I fought Tao and they lost badly. Oh, ooh. Like you lost badly because Tao railguns and yikes? Oh, the railguns aren't out yet. Oh, no. No, this is old trash to your towel. Ah, okay. So you dominated. Good work.

I did very well, yes. With the adeptus, that's why you won. You were using those sick adeptus ridiculous dice. The dice felt good. They were, you know, the lightness was actually nice when I had a roll a lot of them. They felt good in the hands. I like them. So pick up some dice. Check them out. Orcidate.com or look in the description for some dice. Also, I'm not done yet. We also have a deal going on. So not only have they been discounted, but also if you buy some dice, it doesn't matter which quantity and one of our merch things, so a shirt or a hoodie, you get 15% off your entire order. And that's for the rest of January. Let's go. So,

dice are back. If you buy dice and shirt or hoodie or whatever, you get 15% off the whole order. Okay, I'm good. Don't need to talk about the book club. We don't need to talk about the book club. Oh, we don't need to talk about the book. Why not, Bricky? Because today is Necron Supremacy Day. Necron Supremacy, let's go. Necron supremacy, hail to the infinite empire. So I was recommended right so much the Twice Dead King ruin

Which just went on pre-order sale for the next Sequel, Twice Dead King Rain for I think it's 40 bucks I actually already pre-ordered the Colleges edition of the Hardback because I wanted to and I think you can actually get the audio book on Black Library Right now for like 40 bucks which I don't know how much audio books normally cost that seems a little steep But that does seem steep. That seems a little much. Although I just buy them on Audible and I just have a credit. Yeah, they're like 20 bucks I think per credit.

So whatever it is. So a little steep, but you can't get it now. Games Workshop, don't say I never did anything for you. But as I was reading the book, I was like, this is pretty good. And then I was like, this is really good. Like, whoa, this is really fucking good. So much so that I didn't even want to do a book club episode. because it was so good

that I wanted to do a full episode and because we actually learn a lot about the Necrons in this book and so it kind of is like a continuation like hey guys look at all this new stuff we just learned about in the book so we're doing an old

tics episode instead and I think with the exception of the the Night Lord's trilogy I think this is my favorite 40K book. I would definitely agree. Definitely better than the Infinite and the Divine. Which is, I think the Infinite Divine has a better ending, but it's really hard to top that ending. Yeah. I mean,

it does have a better ending, but to be fair, Twice Dead King is looking like it's going to be at least a trilogy. So technically, we don't know what the actual ending of Twice Dead King is yet. Infinite the Divine is like like it has like a nine and a half out of ten ending and twice there's like a nine out of ten ending it's still really good. I was going to say the ending was really really good also

no spoilers or nothing. The necrons have a pulse a weapon called a pulse and that shit sounds so busted like what the fuck? So yeah yes so naturally we will be spoiling this book

if you don't care you don't care about necrons or whatever. I mean, you're honestly missing out. I would recommend reading this book. But regardless, we will be spoiling at least those first part of the book. And if at any point it sounds great, maybe you should go read it or listen to it

because it's really good. And also, it's done by Richard Reed, who also voiced the Infinite Divine. So pretty great work there. And it was also made by Nate Crowley, which is the writer, which I'm not quite sure. what else he has done?

Not either. Well, apparently he has a book called Gaz Kolthraka, profit of the wah coming out this year. Oh shit, we have to do that. Oh, my, oh shit. I don't think Shy's going to let us miss that, right? Looking, look.

Looking respectfully emoji. We have to. That's a no-brainer. I'm going to get to brush up on my org voice. But anywho, Twice Dead King Ruin is the story of Oltix

O-L-T-I-X I believe is how it's spelled I have my idea I only listened to it I thought it was like U-L-L-T-I-X I could never tell I think it's O-L-T-I-X

Sure that works Ultix of the I literally already forgot what kind of dynasty he was from it's a sub-dignesty It wasn't the most important part It wasn't

of the entire book But basically, Oltix is an exile. Yes. He did some bad things, which got him to be stripped of his, because he was like a lord or like an overlord. And he was then stripped of his silver necrodermis. And so he's, instead of having like a silver thing, he looks kind of like like an onyx color, like a dark. Almost stone. Yeah, like a black metal kind of color.

stem and he was basically sent to go watch over some backwater ass world in their dynasty. Yep, seda. Sedda. And that's kind of where it starts off. And I would really roll with calling this book. This book is a tragedy. Oh, 100%. Like, not just being sad.

This is Shakespearean tragedy levels of like, oof. Very little Hamlety, I feel. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. It's, yeah, because it's not just tragedy as in this is a sad book. It is, it is a tragedy. It is the fall of an empire. It is the fall of like a house, like a family.

It is truly a tragedy. And this is probably the reason why I like it is because this book is fucking depressing. Oh, absolutely. It's really, really sad. I think the book, I almost want to say the book. made me feel almost the same levels of like disappointment and sadness that like old tics had like when he returns home what you're expecting like the way old tics is preparing for it and what you actually get are they couldn't be any more different and it's like oh my god

what the fuck happened um so yeah it's it's really interesting seeing the dynamic that But there's a couple of things I really wanted to touch on that we learned about in terms of like the Necron tier world Because in this the whole point of this book is that Well, okay, so though the plot line is that he's fighting off some backwater world and trying to deal with orcs And the interesting thing about oldtics is that he's got a bunch of sub-mines The best the best idea ever So based I always imagine them a lot like the AIs they give you in the new Halo game,

where they're like little various, like geometrical shapes with two little eyes on them. And I'm imagining like little balls, like, like, duct trinal, it's like a little ball but with a tie on or something. And then like, and then like, zinology has like the, is like the emoji. They're all emojis, right?

And then these are the nerd glasses emoji. Yeah. And then combat, I don't think ever speaks. It like growls and barks like a dog. So it's just like the angry face emoji. So it's five. It's doctrinal, strategic, zinology, combat, and is it logistics? I think, or yeah, sure.

I think it's logistical submind. And so there are five versions of himself dedicated to various tasks at hand. So if he ever needs to like, if he ever, needs like, hey, I'm fighting orcs. What is this thing that zinology is doing? And so it basically allows them to talk to himself. And so zanology will be like, like, my lord and master, they are doing what is called a wah.

Wow. It is like, the zinology has its own little like, he hates the unclean, but he needs to know about them. And doctrinal hates zinology, so they have like a little rivalry. And it's like, this little like warring. Yeah. Also, the oldtics is on Discord He can just mute the party

He can mute the party But he also has his his partition Which is literally just his notification center And so like Doctrinal keeps on like sending him Pinging him. Yeah, he's like hey, hey, hey He's like shut up, Dux Rinal. I love the fact that the subminds actually

rival with each other I think that's actually like a really cool idea that there are literally parts of himself that are just at odds with each other. So I thought that was a nice little touch where they start feuding and they just start bickering back and forth and all the guys, be like,

everybody's shut up! It's just me talking. Everybody's shut the fuck up. I like how combat is literally a dog where whenever he's in a situation that he might be in danger, combat just starts growling. He's like, I want to fight.

So actually, speaking of the hating on each other, so let's talk about the most of, most important reveal that has come from this book. Okay. Saying the word poop is punishable by death. That's, that is true. I am not, ironically I say this, no pun intended, I am not shitting you. You can get killed in the Necronter for saying that, bud.

If you use the actual word for excrement, which would be like excrement or feces or whatever the necron tier refer to as waste it is punishable by death in the necron world because the the concept of biology is so

like anathema and so gross to them. Yep. So, shy, what is that? What is that? What is that, shy? What is that? Shire. What is that? What the fuck is that, shy? Oh God, that's a gif. I don't, oh.

Oh, no. That has to be from like one of the Renan Stimpy's that was a more recent. What the fuck is that? Where do you get this shit from, Shown? Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? What the hell? Oh my, okay. All right.

Back on track. Oh my God, back on track with the shit talk. So one time, so there was a part in which they were noticing a necron ship flying over him. And they scanned it. And what they found was that there was plumbing on the ship. Because it was a stolen ship, I believe.

Yeah. And the plumbing was full of waste. And zinology was like, there is um, uh, and I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Yeah, he has to apologize

before saying he's like, look, uh, you know, doctrinal zinology. You guys might want to like, uh, turn, yourselves off or what I'm about to say because there's there's you know there's waste in there

I think he says like excrementer he says like he says some word for it right he says the necrone word for waste which I think was like crud or carrid or something like that oh yeah but it wasn't the necrone word it was two slings down oh yeah yeah that was the

funny part instead of it being excrement or poop he said like waste and then immediately after saying that all the other partitions were like fucking furious They wanted to delete him for even saying Yeah, Dr. Trina was going through

deletion protocols He was like trying to ban him from the server He was like, do I have mod privileges on this helm? You heathen scum It was so funny So I guess yeah, because they despise Because they're very like regal Any kind of weight

Like in the beginning of the book literally one grot making his way not even to the sanctum of his tomb but to the steps of the tomb is like his failure to the point where he needs to kill his royal warden for his failure

because a grot stepped on a stair yep which by the way neth the voicing for neth was absolutely incredible yes praetor neth the general who's a little fidgety. Yeah, his

brain is full of holes. Yep, and so he's constantly talking like a rebooting computer. I would do Woo, Woo, woo me, DK. Uwohoo me, DK. Yep.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Runs through sub-mines to ban D.K. For server. I just lost my silver neck Acridermis, damn it. But so, because in the beginning, that happens.

And then I think the Grot, like, hawks a lugi on his foot. And he just gets fucking furious. And then he just steps on the Gras' face and pumps it into a paste. Which then gets more on his body. He's like, oh, son of a bitch, you got him works. I think he overheats to, like, burn off the excrement. Yeah, they do that later in the book, too. Yeah, they're like, they heat their core up and they just

All the day out of the outside So there's like interesting reveals throughout the thing Throughout the entirety of the book For example, the main story revolves around three major characters I guess four possibly You have Oltex and then you have his mentor Which was named Giseres which actually started with the D Really?

It's like D-J-E-R- AS or something. Huh. Yeah, it's weird. He's the equivalent to his brother. Well, yeah, no, he is his brother, right? That was the kind of the reveal at the end, so to speak.

Oh, I thought that was known the whole way through. Well, he was his mentor, or I guess it was his senior or whatever, but I don't think we necessarily, I don't know if we were told he was his brother in the beginning. I thought it was one of those things where he was his mentor, and

therefore, or what if it was superior or whatever, but I thought originally it meant like the person who would teach him as opposed to actually being his legitimate older brother. Oh, okay. I might be wrong on that one. And then there was Eunas who was the king of the dynasty, I think, or the, I think he was the pharaoh. The dinast.

The dinnest, yes. Which I think it was a reveal that it was his father later on. for some reason I always kind of got the vibe that even if they didn't explicitly say it, it's just whenever all of them interacted, it just kind of seemed that way. So maybe I just jumped the gun

on the reveal. We have a buddy at Dice Check who also read the book and he didn't, even though he read the whole thing, when I said that Gisaris was his brother, he was surprised. So he lost that one. Yikes. Well, well, he may have glossed over it. It was fine.

The point being is that I thought it was a review later on, but I could be wrong. And then, what was the name of the Cryptech again? Oh, Mentep? Mentep. The Cryptek, Mentep, the Engromancer. And then there's a couple of side characters. Who was the famed blade of Seda?

Ah, Yenik. The Razor of Seda. The Razor of Seda. And then my favorite character was Lyceikor, the Death Watch. No, the Death Watch is... Or not Death Watch. Death mark.

The death mark. I was close. The death mark who woke up before all of his others and then decided to kill them all. And then as punishment for doing so was then sentenced to never hold a position of power again. And so he calls himself the baron. I think he's a nemesore, but he calls himself a baron because he likes it. And so he's constantly talking in like old to six brain with using his own voice. and he's like what the fuck

like cycle cut it out and he's just like if you say so he's got such a creepy voice too yeah you like steps out of his pocket dimension and he's like I could just assassinate you if you want yeah he's he's creepy he's very cool but very creepy

he's very cool so the idea is that the story goes they're fighting this orcwa and old six is kind of is really pissed the fuck off. Because Gisaris, his brother, betrayed him. Unas, the dinas, cast him out.

You know, he's like, fuck you, dad. You know, fuck my family. I hate everybody. Yeah, they're all assholes. They all betrayed me. No one stood up for me. Jazeera was my mentor. He told me he did all have my back. He didn't even stand up for me. What the fuck, man?

And so, as time goes, they're dealing with like an orc orc invasion. And eventually, he kind of, He has this part where, so they do a very, like they go full space Egypt in here. The idea is that Oltix is trying to find a new way of war, fight more tactically, fight more pragmatically.

So instead of the classic Necron way, which is phalanxes of warriors going marching forward, you know. For example, he was going to lose the battle against the orcs. And he was like, no. You know, like, oh, I'm not supposed to let people touch this. Stairs, fuck it. I'll let them all into my tomb, and they get to enjoy a very Egyptian style of traps and hidden caverns and doors and spikes

and gunpoint viewpoints out of the walls. He just leaves him into a kill zone, and they have no chance. Even if they get by the traps, they're all set up to just hammer them. I like how an orc makes it really deep, and he's like talking to the orc, and he's like, what do you think your kind's gonna do he keeps like stabbing him with his staff he's like what are you gonna do stab stab

stab stab like you think you can beat me stab stab stab stab stab like he's like poking him spit on him and he's like screaming and like he's like screaming and like oh shit eh eh poke poke poke he's like poking a bug and then uh didn't he

get the idea to do that from the medium because he had the yes so he has another submind type thing. Yeah. Where he has the kind of medium

where he can go back to any point in time, even the time of flesh, and review a memory. The problem is that like a dream, the memory will slowly fade away and he'll be lost without it forever. Yep. And he has to sort of translate

what that dream means before he completely loses it and can't decipher the lesson that was to be learned from. The idea is like I don't know what to do in this situation. Let me try to pull a memory and that might help me. So he pulled a memory really early on in the time of flesh. Which was very interesting.

Which was very interesting. So the idea. So here's a bunch of shit that we learned about. So we always knew that necrons had space cancer. Yeah. So I guess as a necron, back in the day of the necront tier, they still made things out of like wood brick, wood like mud bricks. So like all the

The commoners would have mud brick houses They go full fucking space Egyptian You know They had they had like wine I know that kind of thing But every morning As a Nechron you would wake up And you'd feel throughout your entire body

And you'd feel every part of your body For any lump or hard piece of mass Yep Which is when the sickness has started Yep That was the common cause of death for the Necron Tears because their sun is so fucking big or

whatever. I think it irradiates the shit out of the planet and by and large if you were in Necron Teer you were probably going to die of like radiation poisoning or... Yeah, I mean it doesn't quite make sense because they actually were star-faring at that point. They just they just I guess didn't... I don't know.

Leave. It's my home. I'm sentimental. Whatever. Well, they were star-faring. fair, they just kept out having the cancer. I don't know why, but even in like other areas with better stars, they still had it. It doesn't matter, who cares? Okay, yeah, yeah.

But even if you were like a super high-ranking noble, like Ultix, you would be able to stave off the cancer for two years max. Ooh, boy. And if you were a lesser, like a lesser person, you had maybe a couple months. Yeah.

So death became a big part of the Necron tier. Like, he was being served wine by one of the servants. and the servant was so far down his cancer half of his face was a hardened like scar mass like a stroke victim where it just wouldn't move yeah that's rough

and so you know he kind of looks back at it and the lesson he learned was like oh the power of the necronteer is in the stones you know and say oh okay so I'll bring them into the pyramid and all this stuff but if you like flayed ones read this fucking book Oh boy The curse

Yep So interestingly enough They had a theory So it's a theory Of why the Necron The Deflay 1 curse exists Where there was a Catan Star God

And it was the only Star God to ever be fully obliterated Because star gods can't die Yeah They can because they're gods They can break into a thousand pieces in which they will then be put into

tesseract vaults and use as Pokemon by the Silent King. Of course. Of course. For your drip throne. Exactly. Like at the spoilers for the Divine, at the end of that, they fight four to five shards of the deceiver. Imagine if they had literally all the deceiver shards at the end of that book. Good God. Well, he would have the deceiver and he would annihilate the galaxy. Yep, he sure would. But so the idea is that this star god,

actually died. He was the only star god to ever be fully obliterated. And his last, like, and on his death, he cursed the Necron tear with the curse. The curse. Which is the flayed one curse, which is the insatiable want to eat flesh. And the slowly going crazy as you can't eat it. Yep. Because you shove it into your face and it just drips onto your body.

body. I mean, you're a neck run. You can't eat. You don't really have a mouth. You just have a sort of an etched on thing. You have a, you have a death mask. Yeah, exactly. But it's treated like an addiction. It's start, because the curse doesn't just hit you. It starts slow. You slowly get this want to eat flesh. And then you may be like, oh, just to taste, just to try it. And that was the problem with Yenik. The razor of Seda. When they finally found him, he had like blood on his face

because he was eating an orc and he was like, oh my God, don't look at me, don't look at me. I'm like, I'm so fucking ashamed of myself. Like I've gone, I've been reduced to so little. Yeah. Well, originally Oltex was trying to

convince Yenik to actually come down to Seda and help him because he was going to lure the war boss into the tomb and it was like, oh, look at this. Look at this war boss. Look at him. I bet the Razor of Seda would want to come down here and show this war boss what for, huh? Huh? And he's like, Yannick, hello? Are you there? Hello? Anyone home? Are you up there? Yenek? Razor of Seda. Come on, buddy. You're really good at this shit. And he just

My call is very important to you. Yeah, he just, he ghosts him. And so, uh, Oltex has to kill this war boss on his own. And then he's, fure. Curious that Yenik is nowhere to be seen nowhere to be found and he's like oh When I find that fucking Yenik and then he finds him and he's and he's like oh my please don't look at me like I'm so fucking ashamed I try to eat this orc Yeah like I didn't want to come down to the planet he got someone to get like one of the orc remains for him and he was like trying to feast on it and it's very It's really sad it's literally like a drug addiction where he he he needs it or else he feels weak and powerless.

And it's actually very sad. It is. He's devolved to a very sort of weak and state. But after that, they have the geriatric board meeting, which is one of my favorite moments where it's all the leaders of this little dynasty, right? Yeah. And they're all like cryptex and they're all angry. They're all like generals or something.

Yep. And they're all old and elderly kind of. they all talk that way. Like one guy was one of the dudes who would manage food back in the Necrons here. So he was the grain master. Yes. And he has a little picture of like wheat on his chest. And he's like, I demand to respect.

It's like, yeah, grain master, whatever. Oh, it's also important to note that Oltix was legit going to kill Yenik. He was either going to kill Yenik or he was going to exile. him into the tombs to be with the other cursed ones with like the flayed ones. Right. I didn't want to jump.

Mentep was like, no, no, don't worry about that. We've got more important things to do. And that's what leads to the board meeting. Right. I don't want to go too deep into all the facets of the book just because I don't want to treat this one like a book club episode.

Oh, that's fair. I kind of want to like kind of actually we should talk about when the flayed ones arrived. So when he went to go teleport to up to see what the fuck Yenik was up to like Sycor was down there

with him and he's like hey should we hey kid you want some candy and then he was like hey over Lord Oltics we should just send the we should send the ghouls after them

so very much like an old like pyramid Egyptian pyramid idea there's spirits and ghoul and the idea is that the flayed ones actually hide in the dark recesses of the tomb. And so when he decided call out the flayed ones to go deal

with everything, the remaining orcs, you heard like screeching and like the sound of razor fingers on metal in the deep dark caverns. It's like 200 flayed ones just start like waking up and they start to crawl out of

the holes in the walls and like they start coming out of the floorboards and I remember it was interesting to see like the interaction with the flayed ones because like everybody was like oh yeah you're gonna use the flayed ones like that's that's tantamount

to heresy like what are you you can't do that that's fucked up and that the flayed ones kind of listened to him too was I kind of thought played ones were just I didn't think they even had any they're like auxiliary troops yeah

but there was that one who was ripping up the orc war boss behind him And then like, Oltix was like, and he turned around. And there's a flayed one like staring at it with big white. So I guess all their eyes are a pale white color. And he's like staring at at Oltics. And he's got like the orc over him, like a vulture.

And he makes this, apparently they laugh in this click-clack sound. They kind of do this like, kind of the sound. And then he holds out this big pile of like meat to Oltics. like, you want some? Yep. And then Oltix beats the ever-loving

shit out of this thing. He like rips its limbs off and then like curb stomps it to death. He's like, oh, how dare you? There is literally nothing left of this flayed one for him to destroy. And he's like, damn, I'm still not satiated. I wish there was more of this fucker

that I could destroy. But real quick, so after that whole deal, they go to the board meeting. My favorite of the whole board members Is that there's one board member Who keeps on shutting down Which is for them He basically them asleep

And then he's like the master of monoliths And so he's like a sleep And he wakes up he's like Bring out the monoliths And then he falls asleep again Yeah He's like mermaid man He has all the monoliths locked away

And he doesn't know where the key is He's forgot Yeah he forgot the key I really like the Was it Baraka the red destroyer Oh yes The gigantic Titan destroyer

And it was like oh boy And they go a little bit Into his backstory too I was about starting to that So more more Necron lore More Necrone lore So yeah he was a destroyer lord Yes

I don't remember if he was the Skorpec Destroyer Lord Or just a regular destroyer lore But for example To show you the mini Actually He has a mini Well destroyer

have so many needs. This guy may not have been like this or he might have been. I don't remember. But this is a Scorpak Lord. It's a destroyer lord. That's so dope. It's actually a really big model too. I love that. Yeah, it's it's super super dope. Actually here's the size comparison. That's the guy in the far left is what a Praetor Neff would have been like. Whoa. Yeah. That is a it's almost like a a combination between like an immortal and a... Were they Seraptex? Oh, um, Scorpex.

Scorepex. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's pretty dope. Anyway, um, so I guess, so I guess if you go back to some more necron lore, uh, Necron's would have sacrifices to appease the gods. And it was, in the beginning, it was, which, did the Egyptians do that? I'm not sure, but I could see the Egyptians totally sacrificing people to the gods, yeah. I don't know my Egyptian law.

very well. I'm going to assume they did at some point. That seems like a very Egyptian thing to do. So they originally would sacrifice people to appease the gods in hopes of fixing their super cancer. Yeah, the radiation. When that didn't work, they continued the sacrifices and worry that if they stopped, the gods would make it worse.

However, this was generally done Thanos style by lottery. And if you just picked the wrong number, you were sacrificed. and some people wouldn't want to be sacrificed. So there was... I wonder why. So there were these specific jobs done by people known as red... I think they were known as Red Marshals. Yep.

Or, yeah, Red Marshals. And what they would do is they would go to your house, break your legs and arms, and drag you out into the sun, into the heat, and then sacrifice you. What was the name of that guy, again, the destroyer? Baraka? So he volunteered for the job.

He was like, I'd like to. Yeah, down. And so he volunteered for the job. And that might be where our destroyer cult stuff comes from. It's kind of hinted a little bit that maybe these red marshals were the destroyer lords or something of that nature, but we're not quite sure. And that's why Barack is all red. Yeah, he's got red eyes. Yep.

He is a motherfucker. So they look at their threat, right? Which is, they find his orcs. And they're like, oh, it's just some orcs. And then they see, and then they're like, oh, my God, that's a lot of orcs. And then I think one of the guys are like, what, just more orcs? And then they quadrupled in size. Like, yeah, it turns out just more orcs is the problem.

You big problem. But then they like, no, no, no. this is like an entire orc planet why and it's this is done so magnificently this scene I was on the edge of my figurative seat at this part

because trying to guess what the because they were like the orcs are like running away from something and I was like oh my god what the fuck could they be running from orcs are running from what I was like is it chaos

tyrannage could be tyrannids could be tyrannus other necrone dynasty perhaps the stormlord he's been mentioned once or twice. Could it be like some other like a ton thing? Eldrick crap, you know? And then they like go through the clouds and stuff. And they see and it was like they see long black ships.

Yep. Like it's like a huge length of it. 416 onyx ships. And they end the chapter as they zoom in through their little like video of the double-headed eagle of the Imperium of Man. Oh my God, the Imperium's on a crusade.

The Imperium is on their crusade. 416 ships. It's a little bit of a crusade. It's a little bit of a fighting force. Yeah. It is insane. Yep. So yeah, so

416 ships. And they are doing a nature so hard where they're crusade where they are going in and they're just they're not even trying to gun things down they are exterminating planets on their way to to kill the unclean

were they actually exterminatizing planets I might have missed that part where they were actually just oh yeah oh yeah they were like we're not even going to bother landing that's an orc plant down there we're going to raise it I mean that that's kind of how you deal with an orcua

or massive amounts of orcs you just exterminate on its planet until you don't give them anywhere to land, or they run out of food and they just die out, I guess. Of all of the things I have read, it took a Necron book to make the Imperium sound absolutely fucking terrifying. Oh, God, yeah, the Imperium is horrifying and very big, scary in this one. Because normally you're seeing it from the Imperium's perspective, and it's like, oh, hooray, for the God Emperor, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But this one is like, when you're on the receiving end of an Imperium crusade, Ooh, who. Nothing worse. So that kind of jumpstarts our story, which is like, basically, Oltics says,

we're doomed. Yep. Like when the necron, the geriatric necrons are, are saying, what am I, like, what are we going to do?

Is, can we do anything? Do we have reinforcements? Do we, and all the guys, just quiet. Like, we are literally all going to die. It has this sense of fatalism, which when you hear it, when orcs are running and necrons are scared of dying.

Of dying. That's a big deal. That really shows you like the gravity of like what the Imperium is capable of. Like if they put a good chunk of their forces into it, you can't stop the Imperium. It's pretty nuts like to remind ourselves that, hey, Let's not forget that Imperium can act like orcs in terms of numbers if they have to. Yep, yep, they sure can. So that kicks off the idea.

And so basically Old Tix's entire story from there is, hey, I need to partition more forces. Yeah, more reinforcements. And that's where the tragedy comes from, which I don't want to get maybe too far into it. I do, but I don't. Okay, we'll get a little bit into it. We'll get a little bit into it. Basically, he goes to partition his older brother, Giseres, into getting some forces, and then partition,

I guess we kind of have to get into it, don't we? We kind of have to, yeah, it's pretty important, yeah. So he meets his older brother Giaceres in like a desert where he's cleaning a, like, a phalanx of immortals with a teeny tiny little phaser brush. Yep. And he's like, get all the little dust off. He's obsessed with getting them clean. He actually has a funny moment where Mentep, the cryptic, who actually has a little pet scarp or a pet, like, Raith.

Yeah, he does. And he's like, yeah, you know, they say a good way to keep our minds sane with all of our, you know, millennia lifespan or whatever, or, you know, untold lifespan is like, hey, we got to find an obsession. Yeah. And then Desiris is like, huh, then I guess Trasin of the Nihalak Empire is the most sane out of all of us. Yep. And I'm like, ah, I reference. Good old treason. Good old treason.

Yep, yep. But so he's basically out there to clean the immortals and all six is saying, yo, we need the reinforcements. We need to talk to UNES. We need to get some fucking stuff and just Sarish just won't do it. Nope. You know, he just, he wants no part of it. It's very much, there is a lot of Kurosawa in this.

Yep. And I think it's one of the reasons why I love it, because despite how much I hate anime, I love feudal Japan stuff. Oh, okay. I think, like, like the fucking old school samurai, Ronan, loyalty to the emperor, family drama, that kind of shit. I fucking love that stuff. Okay. The old, old Japanese, what's it called? like spiritualism

like Onis and Yokai I it's like it's the shit that I can't ever say I like because like I thought you hated anime brick you like shut the fuck up well there's a difference between liking anime and liking Japanese or samurai themes those are two completely different things are there anime that deal with Japanese spiritualism and oni sure sure totally yeah that yeah so it

one does not equal the other, so you're good. I get a lot of, like, feudal Japan vives from this, because they have this sense of honor, right? This massive sense of honor, and then older brother Giaceres will not... Did you play Ghost of Sushima? I never finished it, but I got like halfway through and then some other game caught my attention and yada yada,

but I fucking loved Ghost of Shishima. Well, like, the story, Jin Sakai is like trying to remove his honor, because honor will not beat the Mongols in this situation, right? Yep, he has to sort of be a tricky thieie. Yeah, and his uncle is like stuck in his old way. It's like, no, we need to become, we need to stay honorable because if we, we aren't, we're just as bad as they are.

Literally, Oltix is the same thing. He's like, we need to fight differently and Gis, no, I have loyalty to the throne. I can't, I can't forsake in that case, it would be, yeah. Yeah, or in that case, it would be the Shogun, right? Yep. And I will never, I can't betray the dinast. It's super, like, family that kind of drama. So, Gisarius is a wash.

He goes over to the big temple. Wasn't it the big temple? What planet were they on again? Issa, Isika? Ithaca. Issaquay. Ithaca? I think.

No, I think it's Ithaca. Okay. But Jazeers gives him, like, a bunch of passcode so that you can get in or something. nonsense because he's still, oh, you're still my brother, let me give you a little bit of a helping hand. And it kind of pushes him in the right direction, at least. I'm sad you missed my Isakai statement. I heard it. Good.

Good. But fuck Issaquai's, for the most part. What is that again? It's like being reborn in a new world. So like, uh... Oh, like Sauron Online or whatever? Yeah, people argue that Sordat Online isn't an Issaquai because he still gets access to his old body at some, but yeah, that's the basic idea of it.

That's right. someone is arguing for Sordaulah online, they're lost to me. Agreed. Good. Anyway, he goes to Unas, and this is where, like, the major tragedy kind of comes in, because he enters the tomb, and it's, like, full of plants. Yep. And vegetation, he's like, what?

And little animals are running around everywhere. Yeah, it's like, that ain't right. That ain't right at all. And once he's, to paraphrase for a bit, he finds a seraptic, which is, I actually, I was shocked. They actually put that in the book. A seraptic heavy construct is enormous. It's a model you can run.

It's a forge world model. Yeah, that's like the big kind of spider walker thing, right? Pretty much. It looks like this. I was having a hard time really figuring out what, okay. That's basically what I think. thought it looked like, okay, cool. Well, this is how big they are. Uh, this is an imperial knight to its left. Whoa! They're that big? They're in, well, this is, I mean, the scale on

in tabletop is a little different, I'm assuming, but they are, they are enormous. It's, it's, it's bigger than a, it's, really, whoa. The seraptic constructs are gigantic. Like, I got that it was big, but I, I, I didn't realize the scale of it. Like, I thought it was like maybe, I mean, Like, again, big, but Jesus Christ, although it was shaking the ground, wasn't it? It was literally, so it turned into a walking flesh thing where it had a bunch of spikes on its back with impaled humans and orcs and shit. And there was a cult. So the dynasty has fallen to the flare virus. That's the concept.

It's been rotted from the inside out. And so the cult is like following this giant, like a communal food thing. and it would shake sometimes and meat would fall off and all of these nobles yeah these like crazed nobles would start trying to eat the meat and they would start chanting and shit oh my god the chants were so fucking creepy yeah they were constantly chanting

and get louder and louder and louder and then they were like flayed ones in the garden like kind of staring at old six like hey I see you I see you yeah um what did Richard Reed was the voice the audio book yeah

Poor, poor Richard. He did so well with this part. Like, it really, like, the chanting really added to, like, super uneasy, creepy vibes. Yeah, he just had to keep on, like, upping it with time, and I'm like, oh, this probably hurts your voice. Oh, God, yeah. But either, regardless, with that whole, that whole schick, once he gets into the main center chamber, he finds Unas, and Unas is completely insane. Oh, yes. He's completely fallen to the curse.

there is essentially nothing left of the Eunice that he used to know. Yeah, he's completely mentally just out of it. He's eating meat. He doesn't remember anything. He's basically a dementia patient. Yeah, which is super sad. If you've ever, like, dealt with someone that had dementia, this is sort of, and what, what, because, um, um, um, Hemion is there, too, and he's sort of just using that sort of dementia against him to sort

suggest things to yeah they have like an interloper character basically and he's like he's pretending to be just saras yep and and having dealt with like dementia in my family it was like oh god you could totally confuse and just totally uh convince someone like that to just do whatever and that whatever you wanted to be reality to them would like they'd go for it and it's just like oh god that's that's sad That's constantly the worst feeling is like It's it's like someone who's really rich with dementia and like the The maid or someone is like convincing them that's like like a like one of the other brothers that have been cast out by the family Yep

It's yeah it's really it's really fucked super tragic yeah But long story short Oltics gets gets like tries to attack him get stuck in like his field and gets captured and then is Swiftly dissected And um his subminds all get, are able to find their way into a little scarab. Yeah, so they get sort of freedom.

Yeah, so like all five sub-mines are now one entity and they're in like a little scarab. So the, so paraphrasing a lot, he does some gladiatorial fights really weakened, but then the scarab on his back is like slowly rebuilding his living metal. Yeah. And he eventually makes his way up, I think he gets his way through or whatever. The interloper has a great death where they turn on his pain receptors and then throw him into the ring with all of the fucking humans and orcs and stuff yeah that's pretty good um but that whole thing is just saris arrives and he's like yeah

i'm a fucking fool but during that part down at the bottom when he's going through his medium we got to talk about the disparate oh the disfract that i i was completely unaware that this was something that the necrons were afflicted by um and i guess it would only be the nobles because they're the only ones who kept their minds. Yeah, they're the only ones that would remember or maybe have any chance of remembering what it was like to ever have flesh. Yeah.

So the Dispract is literally I have no mouth and I must scream. It's the idea that a noble or like a lord still remembers everything and therefore they have the issues of being a robot. So, you know,

old ticks might start to freak out. He might get scared by something. He'll start to breathe heavily. But then he's like, I can't breathe. I have no lungs. And then that leads to, I don't, he reaches for his throat to scratch out of his throat. I have no throat. My mouth is moving. It's just metal. Oh my God. And then he starts to freak out. So his heart starts being faster. He's like, I don't have a heart. And it keeps on going and going and going. And then eventually he might just go insane. Yeah. I, I, so I am fortunate that I have never had a pen. panic attack before, but that's kind of what that sounds like, this sort of like existential crisis,

this sort of panic attack about what you are and what you've become and just this fever pitch that you get into. And it's just like, oh my God, like, I don't know if that's what a panic attack is actually like, but if I had to imagine what one was like, that seems like a pretty apt description of it. That's what Shai is saying too. I've, I've been blessed to only have a couple in my life, like two to three, and that's about what it's like. Okay. It's very, it's like a snowball effect. Right, right.

It really just keeps on building and building. So there's a decent idea where I guess the, like the Necron will try to regain feelings of flesh. And if you get lost to it, you'll like wail and scream and cry for eternity because you'll never be able to fix yourself. So you become like a fetal position, like a mess. Yeah. For a lot of the book, I thought they were going to be like, oh yeah, the dysfraq is actually like the beginnings of the flare virus because you're going to be reaching for your skin and you're going to be going crazy because you can never do it and to sort of replace that you would try to consume flesh. I thought they were going to try and play at that, but I don't think that's the idea. No, not quite.

But it's still definitely a slang that's very interesting and spooky. Oh, yeah, definitely. More than Nechron lore that's just like, whoa, okay. that's a thing. Yeah, it's really interesting. I like it a lot. Though at that point, they actually,

because in order to stave off the disparate, or disfrect, he basically needs to go into the medium a lot in order to kind of get his mind at ease, but he goes back to the times of flesh a couple of times. And he also goes back to why,

it reveals why he was cast out. Yep. where Unas was slowly, I think he was slowly being affected. But Eunice was, as his father, was just a bad leader. And he wasn't doing good things for the dynasty. And so Oltik's tried to kill him. Yep. And the betterment of the dynasty.

For the betterment of the dynasty. And so, just Sarah, so this whole idea, he had this feeling of like, Unas was a piece of shit. Just Saras was a piece of shit. But in reality, just Sarah saw he was going to try to kill Old. UNAS, he was like, don't do it. Don't do it. And then eventually when he tried,

DeSeres blocked him and said, ah, he, uh, you know, he tried to, like, uh, kill me or something in a squab we've been having for a while now. Uh, we should not have him be executed. We should instead just exile him.

Yep. And UNIX is like, yeah, whatever. Yeah, sure. I guess that works. So, disappointment. In a sense, Gisera saved his life.

Yeah. By making up. some bullshit. And so it's kind of like, oh, wait a minute. Never mind. I was wrong. It's like Jazeera was a really good mentor slash brother the entire time. Yeah. And then the last thing. Even when he landed, he didn't shoot him down and he sent him along his way in the right direction. The last thing I thought was really interesting was he went back to the time, he went back to the memory of him actually going into the biotransference furnaces, which was super interesting. Yeah.

So I guess what happened is the Silent King decreed. Oh, it was also where we get by Nemesor Zandrek cameo. Before that a little bit where he's like, I guess all the warring factions, the Silent King says, hey, no more war. No more war. Not allowed to. Nope.

And so Zandrek comes by to help associate the peace. And he's like messing with them. He's like, ah, your Eunice guy might be kind of an amateur if he's having an extra why. Isn't that funny? It slaps back. And Gassaris is like, I'm going to kill you. You're such a bastard. Oberyn's there, too.

Yeah. He seems like a nice sort of like, he almost seemed drunk. He's the nice old man who has no filter. Yeah, definitely. And Oberyn is with him. He's like this hulking enormous bodyguard.

And every time Zandry could make a joke, Oberim would just kind of shake his head. Like, God damn it. This is what I have to deal with. It's really funny. But anyway, probably the best reveal is the whole biotransferrits thing, where the Silent King also decreed all food production be halted because of no longer needing it. And so there were literally giant green furnaces, enormous furnaces placed on the planet.

And above the furnaces were spectral katans. floating like wisps in the air looking like they were eating but they wouldn't know. How would they know that their souls are actually getting eaten? And they were and oh this is actually about a year after Oltix felt his first tumors.

Oh, that's right because he, what did he say? If he wasn't a noble he would have been brought there on. I didn't know they brought people in on sick carts like they had the worst like and they were just pushing them in on sick cards because they were hoping that they could outrun death and get them into the furnace quick enough.

Some were starving because of the no more food. Yeah, it really paints a much more desperate picture of the biotransference. Because like in my head I always pictured them just like kind of single file line

just everybody's kind of just waiting to go into biotransference and become necrons. But like some of them were super fucking desperate to like because they were about to They were literally pushing. I gotta get in. I gotta get in. I gotta get in.

They were literally pushing like sons and daughters on giant sick carts into like into long lines of people waiting to enter because they were like we can finally could literally outrun death.

Yeah. Not knowing that these commoners these regular people were literally going to become Necron warriors which are brainless, soulless. Yep.

Have no fat. Well we we know, we don't think they have faculties. Yeah. That was a question earlier, is that Gassaris doesn't know. He's wondering, like, they don't have any brain function. It seems like, but how do I know that they're not in there? Like, like, screaming.

Yeah. And they do not realize it. It painted a much more desperate picture of biotransference than I thought. It should have made sense, because obviously you're trying to cheat death, but it painted such a more grim, dark desperation for. biotransference than I'd ever thought the necrons were capable of? Some people

didn't outrun death. There were bodies like tons of piles of dead on the sides of the lines that just were literally there in the line for their biotransference and they just didn't get there in time. And then right... It's very depressing.

Right before Oltics is about to do it himself, he feels a metal hand on his shoulder and it's just Saras and he's like, it's not so bad. It's not so bad. That was the name of the chapter, I think, right? It's not so bad. Something like that.

And then he wakes up from the medium and like Oltex starts screaming trying to back up and run away from the furnace before he, quote, makes the worst mistake of his entire existence. Oh, man. It's really depressing. And I'm like, that's why I'm like, 10 out of 10, best book. It is, if you're a Necron fan, why you really, these are books you need to. read. This is like a must read.

The Necron books and lore has probably been handled the best I've seen out of any faction as of lately. Agreed. So continuing, basically at this point, you know,

UNES, Geras, he gets, Oetix gets back, he's better, Gassaris comes back and he's kind of like, I already knew I just couldn't bring myself to deal with him, I'm sorry. Yep. Because his honor, he would not betray his king. He refused.

and at this point the the Imperium has arrived and oh my God have they arrived oh boy yeah like they're sending in penal legions and bombing areas and they're dropping in blood angels

blood angels man when that when that space ring came out and everybody all the space marines are chanting Astardais and they're like oh yeah there's a blood red drip. I was like, I know that chapter. I know it. I know this one. Let's go. He want to know so that makes me upset. This is going to make every Necron player so upset. So, so they go on out and as soon as they go out like there are planes and drop pods flying into the atmosphere.

And just Saris is just like the most the manliest man. Oh, absolutely. He chads it up. He's a perfect general because you got a giant force field over the tomb world, right? And so drop pods and like landing craft are coming in. And he's just grabbing them, like putting his hand up and like grabbing them like he's got the fucking force. And he's crushing them or holding them still for the Goss Pylons to shoot. He's sending in phalanxes of warriors. He's like holding back missiles. Eventually an Astardis vessel does like run in.

and they fire like what's like magma bombs like thermonuclear warheads in but the big thing before that is they hear the grounds start to shake and in the way corner of the ridge they see a Titan Legion of warhounds or whatever Yep they sure do And so Gisis is like

Otix do you remember the Takion Ero that you were given however long ago right? Yep And it's like, yeah, you get one shot. It's a nobles weapon. And you can never reload it. And what did you do with that era, Oltics?

He's like, I missed. I missed. I was shooting a transport and I missed. And then I forget what he says, but he's just slang like, remember something about like. Oh, yeah, he was like, oh, yeah, I have one more lesson for you. And he's like, oh, remember the Tachian era that you missed with? And he's like, yeah, yeah. And he's like, here's the lesson.

And then he raises his arm and he shoots the. a fucking Titan. So the Takion arrow in-game, 120-inch range, strength 12, AP minus 5, D6 damage, can only shoot once per battle.

Right. That's that weapon. And that thing, one shot a Titan, D6 damage my ass. He's just like, I have one lesson for you. Ping!

And he fires a slivery of metal going at like triple the speed of light. And it's just a warhound titan just fucking it just explodes. Yep. Just crumbles. And I'm like D6 damage. Suck my ass!

The lesson is patience. The lesson is patience. Ping! Of course he only gets the one shot, but still it's a good, that's a good thing to take down if you if you only get one shot. Taking out a fucking warhound Titan? Huh.

Yeah, oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a nice shot. That's a very nice shot. So after that, basically, Gassaris, like, stops those two thermonuclear warheads, but he, like, kind of burns himself out in the process. Yeah. And so the big final stand is when Giseras, like, repairs himself a bit,

turns off his resurrection protocol, and then pulls out, like, what, 200 immortals? Something like that, yeah. Let's say 300, because this is going to be sort of that. Fuck it. that 300 last stand. Evil's out 300 of them. Let's go.

Spasa! He literally like, he like pulls out his purple overlord blade and like rips the hole and through the dimension and then all of his personal bodyguard

of immortals come out. And then he like slams his staff on the ground and they all light up gold. Oh, it's so cool. This is like the best part. Because he wasn't cleaning them. Nope.

He was inscribing. their deeds onto their bodies in hopes that at least somebody will remember what they've done despite being soulless robots. Yep, because he always felt guilty about it. He always felt guilty about not respecting the citizenry more and killing them.

Mm-hmm. And they're all just like, they glow gold with this like, almost like tribal tattoo heraldry on their bodies. And then just like there, he marches in. And then we don't see him again. Oltix goes back to the thing the big pyramid

he finds Unas and then all like the Lichgard Yeah he finds Eunice in his like secret ship Yeah or like like yeah something like that and then he basically Eunice is still crazy And so he's just kind of like

All right I'm gonna kill Eunice And he because the lich guard Kind of let him They're like no just do it Like we know there's a problem Yeah And he can kill kills Unas, that's the saddest part there, is because when he kills his father, all of the

Lichgard transfer their protocol to him. Which means that Jazeera has fallen. Because it would have been his older brother first. Yep, Jazeera was next in line, but since everything transferred to Ultics, his brother has fallen. His brother has died. Imperium has killed Jazeera, yep. And so he eventually leaves and he goes onto the, what's the giant like dreadnought ship they

have, like the enormous, like, carrier. It's like the acropos? Yeah, like the acropos. It's Yennax or whatever. It's Yennax, like gigantic ship. The Admiral Yenek, and he's like

just, just going to town. And the book basically ends with them, well, fighting an imperial vessel. And then pretending to be, pretending to be turned off one, and then they fire chains. They fire the

Ursula Claus. The Ursula! I love the Necron's reacts. Chains? Actual chains. Not a tractor cannon. They're using chains. Actual chains?

It's, and then they basically, like, and then they decide to fire out the, a condensed star from a dimension, and they pulse it. Yeah, is that a thing they actually do? Is that, like, is that canon that they, like, they had a pocket, that had a star in it.

DK, if it's in a book, it's canon. Like, holy shit, like they can, the Necron can actually have pocket dimension, which is like, oh yeah, we need the supernova a star at close proximity to absolutely decimate our enemies. Do it. Like, I didn't realize that was a thing. Like, they did it.

That's so busted! Well, they fucked up the ship, but they didn't actually kill the ship. It was because it's just like a pulse, remember? The ship survived. It's just like super fucked up. Yeah. But they destroyed the planet. The planet is dead. They did not necessarily destroy the planets. They soaked it in magma. They set the atmosphere on fire.

Yeah. Oh, sorry. Yeah, they didn't destroy the planet. Only the atmosphere is on fire and everybody on the planet is dead and it's all ruin and it's charred ash everywhere. But the, yeah, you're right. Sorry. The planet's not totally dead. You're right.

Sorry. The Star Pulse generator. And then they leave and that's literally the end of the book. They just end it. And now the new one's out and go read it. Oh, I can't wait for the new one. I can't wait to see where they go from this. Because he's on his ship with like, oh, that's right,

because there's the Exodus that has all of their artifacts and stuff. So they got to figure out what the fuck to do with that. Because now Oltix is the last remnants of their dynasty. Also, can I say there's a part earlier when Oltix is hiding in like the foliage and there's some blood angel guys there and one of them is damaged. And they're like, uh, trying to get through there. and a flayed one sneaks up behind the fucking blood angel and he like stands like a foot tall than the blood angel

because he's been all contort him and he looks at Oltix with like wide eyes through the grass and he puts up one of in his jaw distends really wide and he puts up one long talon to his mouth like shh oh that's right I I genuinely forgot about that but yeah that's God the flayed ones are so creepy They're so creepy.

They're so creepy. Like they would make for a great horror shooter type thing. Oh my God, they're so fucking creepy. Anyway, but yeah, that's essentially a twice dead king. That's essentially twice dead. It is so good. It's really, really good. It's a total tragedy.

It's super sad, but it's also incredibly, incredibly good. So much good. Necron lore, yeah. So much new necrone lore. So much intrigue, so much more humanity put into them. Mm-hmm. Oh, it's so good. The Disfract is fucking terrifying.

It makes me want to start flayed ones. You should do it. Start a flayed ones, army. I already have a bunch of flayed ones. I was going to say, you have a Necron army. You just need to add some more flayed ones. It makes me want to be able to run a character Deathmark. I want to run the Baron.

Could you? Is there a way you could... No. Oh, death marks are just a sniper choice. There's no... Ooh. Yeah, I'm sad. So are we going to do the next book?

Is it technically out? Are we going to wait for it to come out on Audible before we do it? Man, fuck it. Yeah, we're doing twice Dead King Rain. Let's do rain. Let's do rain. I might have to buy it on Black Library, but that's okay. Yeah, it's all right. I'll probably do the same.

You're lucky your shit's so good, GW. Now buff the tacky on arrow. You buffed attack If they can one shot a Titan in this book It should one shot a Titan in the game Or at least should be more than D6 damage It shouldn't allow me to roll a 1

3D6 4D3 4D3 Sure It's only one shot Come on I have to pay points for that bastard You only get it once per game Fuck it, who cares

Necrons need better anti-tank anyway But anything else we should mention beforehand? Because we skipped over a lot, but there was so much to talk about. Yeah, if we talked about every little thing in the book, this would be like a four-hour episode. But I think we hit on most of the important points. Gosh, it's a good fucking book, man. It really is. Go read it. To get the full force of it, go read it.

Because obviously you can't get everything from us in an hour in five, ten minutes. So go read it. It's really, really, really good. Even if you know nothing about Warhammer, I think you'd still get a lot out of this book in terms of Necron lore, how scary the Imperium are, and a little orc. Two requests for our chat.

One, we've got to find someone making Oltix conversion. Hell yeah. Fuck yeah. And two, all right, chat, and viewers, listen here. Imagine Oltics, but all of his sub-mines are actually, anime girls. Oh my God. Are you serious?

We're doing anime wifoos for Altix's sub-mines? Imagine all five of the sub-mines are various anime girls. You got doctrinal who's like a Sedere one. Zinology's a

nerd. Combats, the tomboy one. Come on now. I'm just saying I'm just saying the chat. viewers normally I don't ask for this shit but it's just cursed enough Bricky is asking for anime why somebody has to make this shit happen and I'm a giant weeb listen I'm just saying it's it's I like it because it's cursed apparently Shai says that Ultix is literally a new model he's not named but he is

very clearly based on the character oh well that they remade the Overlord model back when the Necron's got an update and that's when they added the tackion arrow to the game. So he, Oltix is basically just a regular overlord with a tacky on and phase glave, but painted a different color and his helmet looks a little different. I bet you could spice them up. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Sick. Five sub-mined wifers. I am here for it. Good. If you can make them legally distinct, could we put that shit on a shirt? Oh shit Because I would buy that in a...

I'll take your entire stock Twice dead harem Yes! Let's go! Let's go! I think I've made a mistake. You sure have, and now you're going to pay for it. You now... This is your disfraq.

I have no hentai and I must scream. Yeah, there's like anime wife who is instead of like this brooding shadow. telling you that you don't have skin. It's like wifoos that are like, you like anime. No, no, the brooding shadow is literally just someone saying your anime isn't real. No, no.

No, the darkness is taking me. Hello darkness, my old friend. All right. All right, we're out of here. I'm done with this shit. Buy the new dice.
