That first 4 mins was literarily flawless. I went to college for English Lit i wasted a LOT of my time analyzing the structures of well-known fiction. That was SUCH a good intro to a literary topic, its not actually easy to do what you did in those 4 mins. Im saving this so i can plagarize those 4 mins for another setting, thats how solid it was. You neatly bypassed all the pitfalls of exposition and actually set up the narrative

That's incredibly kind of you to say, thank you! I was actually worried about the amount of exposition I was adding at the start, primarily from giving the Eldari two lines of text, whereas the other factions all had one. But yeah please do take the structure, anything to help out!

if the necrons and the swarm get together im sure the tyrannids biological abilities would easily allow them to grow new bodies for the necrons. let us hope the swarm does not realize the benefits of diplomacy

So long as the speed freek has fuel, then I'd say the good old Ork will take the lead, but the destroyer won't stop trying to catch him! Good question on the Flayer Destroyers, but there thus far hasn't been an officially written instance of there being a Necron afflicted with both curses (that I know of). The two conditions are somewhat antithetical, in that the Destroyers are disgusted by life, whereas the Flayed ones are somewhat obsessed with it (if only to consume), so the two curses might not be able to coexist in one necron.

Good question, I would certainly imagine less than 10%, in fact I would probably assume 10% to be around the amount of outcasts in general (so destroyers + flayed ones). I would hazard a guess at around 5%, but as far as I know, we don't have any lore which gives an estimate at the numbers which are afflicted.

The Machine is pure

Maybe this is just the Oldcrons fan in me wanting to complain about the Tomb Kings in SPACE!!! Newcrons, but I honestly kind of wish that they hadn't changed the backstory of the Destroyers in this way. I totally get that SOME Necrons want their flesh back, or at least souls, but I also like the Necrons who embrace their new, superior form, and then want to further empower it. Their machine body can support so many advantageous options, like the obvious skimmer body, or their big cannons. Movement wins matches, both in and out of the lore, and if the Hypercrypt Legions, like the Nephrekh Dynasty, are willing to embrace teleportation, and the strain those energies could be to either kind of body, it would seem advantages would be embraced, as well as more basic Necrons could be upgraded, and work.

@@Scholarslore I'll have to admit that, in spite of myself, I too grew to like the Newcron lore, at least a bit more. There was something neat about emotionless, implacable machine menaces, seeking to simply wipe the slate clean, and be immune to coercion, intimidation, or flattery, but I guess we DID already have the organic that, wirh Nids, and the Oldcrons could have felt like they were simply from a single world, with no need for alternate paint schemes, detachments, etc, so I do appreciate that element of their development. I guess I would still just be happier with Oldcron Destroyers, Flayed Ones, and especially Pariahs, back.😊
