Being pursued by a Crusade Fleet, Oltyx tells his ship to lose mass to increase velocity. So they start teleporting the cherished monuments of their dynasty from the time of flesh, into space. The most advanced species in 40k reduced to throwing stone obelisks and statues of dead kings like rocks
Of course, since it's a realspace pursuit, the Imperial ships are hitting these things at relativistic speeds and fucking exploding, but each piece is another part of their history the Necrontyr will never get back. God it's so good.
That's so metal. I need to read this.
Please do! As someone who is mostly left cold by the space marine focused books, Twice Dead King and Infinite and the Divine are Black Library musts as far as I'm concerned.
Done and done, they're next on my reading list. Just gotta finish up The Outcast Dead.
H: Y'know, I can't help but feel like Thousand Sons would make for another foil to the Necrons in a different way than the AdMech are. Both have watched their legacies and civilization burn in the kiln of time (and also fire), both are left with the bulk of their kin trapped in a half-existence
H: An Overlord and a Sorcerer leading their Warriors and Rubrics against each other. Kindred damned by a false salvation grinding to dust against a horde of souless automatons. Fallen troops rising again and again. Unable to die. Incapable of living.
A ping of sorrow, of recognition from the few on the field with their minds intact. An instinct that must be suppressed. They chose their fate. We did not. We must press on, for those who can still be saved. It's what we owe for the absolution of our sins.
I think I just heard Trayzn scream in agony
Okay.... Okay thats metal as fuck. Why are the robots metal as fuck
~~cause that's what their bodies are made of~~
How could the robots NOT be metal as fuck
to be honest a lot of robots in fiction are kinda boring imo
wait til you hear about how their gods tried to enslave them so they shattered and enslaved their gods
I'm very hyped for mechanicus 2 since they're going to be a playable faction in that game
Wait, the fuck! For real?!? Why does no one lead with that?!
goddamn
