Do you like the current state of Necron lore and tabletop?
>>97899223>Do you like the current state of Necron loreNo, I can't say I care one whit for any kind of lore, beyond what little bits I make for my games.
>>97899223I stopped paying attention to 4ok lore after they introduced primaris, and the few bits I've heard since then only vindicated my decision.
What is the current state of Necron lore and tabletop?
>>97899223the amount of power the old Necrontyr were supposed to have always confused meLike, they had to have a reason to believe they can take on the psychic frogs, right? But then the floor gets wiped with them? But then they find the c'tan/get the robo treatment, and that's a perfect equalizer? Just how many worlds did they hold before finding the c'tan? And why were the old ones so autistic when dealing with them?But generally I find Necrons very cool
People who defend nucrons because of the Reddit and the divine shouldn’t be allowed to breath
>>97899223Yes, when they humiliate fagos.
>>97899849>if I cry about reddit, my point is correct
>>97899576Nucrons are still nucrons, latest thing is that they caved in to people complaining about oldcrons AGAIN and made yet another faction, this time it's a faction of destroyers who are the silent killer serving the nightbringer like the oldcrons, who only have one named character which means as long as he gets away they can be a jobber faction to lose decisively to the ultramarines every single time they show up because szarekh and imotekh and all the important necrons aren't affected by them losingon tabletop they no longer have any form of identity and you can run them as literally anything
>>97899223It’s ok but the pre-rewrite necrons were much more menacing
>>97899223Post your minis (you wont)
People who cry for midcrons because of Dawn of War are brown and shouldn't be allowed to post.
>imotekhYou can't make a more retarded and cringe name. It's just impossible. It's on par with el'miyamoto. How can someone be so retarded beyond any salvation to write something like that.
>>97902208>DoW>Midcrons???
>>97899248>>97899531>heh, not only is my answer NO, but I completely reject the premise upon which the question is founded!stimulating discussion as always on four chan dot org slash tee gee
Lorewise, they received heavy nerfs to their power in the lore. The Silent King is being played like a fiddle by Vashtorr, and Imotekh has his number. The Pariah Nexus project is crumblingThe Necron are effectively out of the race for the galaxy bowl. For the first time since forever the three great threats are Chaos, Tyranids and Orks.
>>97902041Oldcrons never went away
>>97902255They were never really a contender. They were always the POTENTIAL MAN faction even from the start.
>>97902304I know we had severed but most people (and probably GW) seem to forgot they existed so GW went and made NEW new oldcrons
If you look at current versions of this piece the motherfuckers have fucking shooped in dynastic markers on the warrior shoulders

>>97899641Not everything needs to be explained you fucking autist
>>97899223>loreIm not the biggest fan, but I get why they did it. I think it would have been better if they went the tyranid route and just gave them names that are imperial descriptions and have the C'tan be the named HQs. Just say>The Necrons managed to shatter the C'tan but lost anyway, and now the lesser C'tan are searching the galaxy to regain their missing shards, with only the rogue Triarch Praetorians and eldar standing in their way. The ones who aren't under C'tan control are just following old sub routines of extermination that not even they understandIt would have kept the menace to them and you could have made sense for mirror matches (Each C'tan wants to be the only one) As they are now they dont feel Alien or tragic, more like temporarily inconvinced humans in robot bodies. Some characters like Trayzyn and Zahndrekh I like in an objective sense, but they're too wacky and dont fit 40k at all. Tomb kings worked for fantasy but not every fantasy race translates well into space and Necrons are the perfect example of that.>Tabletop They're fine. I like having other vehicles beyond the destroyers. I just hate that they've gone "everything is a canoptek BUT BIGGER or a monolith BUT BIGGER" with them, I wish they leaned into the Alien floating geometry more.
>>97902483yeah, but if an aspect of your world appears wildly inconsistent, that just becomes distracting
>>97902514>I think it would have been better if they went the tyranid route and just gave them names that are imperial descriptions they did that for oldcrons and i fucking hated it with how over the top edgy grimderp they were>necron lord of nekrotothep THE HARBINGER OF SILENT DARKNESS>necron lord of thanakhmun THE HERALD OF THE COMING STORM>necron lord of azraetekh THE DARK MESSENGER OF DEATH DARKNESS
>>97902514>and now the lesser C'tan are searching the galaxy to regain their missing shards, Already happening>with only the rogue Triarch Praetorians and eldar standing in their way. BASICALLY what's happening because most of the necrons just treat the shards like pokemon not caring that they could merge together and fuck them over again>The ones who aren't under C'tan control are just following old sub routines of extermination that not even they understandWe just got ones basically under C'tan (nightbringer) control with the 500 worlds Nekrosor destroyer faction, and Severed are still thereAll of that's actually already present, just alongside the goofy trollzyn don quijote dad's army black adder shit
>>97899223NoI fucking hate the Silent King, boring ass model and gay loreI hate what they've changed the C'tan tothe only good named Overlord is Anrakyr
>>97899223I didn't used to, but The Infinite & The Divine made me a believer in the nu-Necron hotness
No, they peaked in 3rd editionEverything they changed or added objectively sucksThe only new unit designs I like looking at are the Reanimators and to a lesser degree DoomstalkersMechanically they could have used an additional option beside disruption field. Would have loved Lords getting a wraith body option in war gear, and getting the third star god Void DragonPerfect faction with great lore, gameplay and aestheticOne tiny qualm that I didn’t personally have but a lot of people found jarring was the Phase Out mechanic, which could have been made optional with a negative point multiplier
>>97902616*No Phase Out but units cost 1.25x pointsI personally loved Phase Out, games take way too long anyway
>>97902514>too wacky and dont fit 40k at all>too wacky>for the setting with orks and IG commissarsYou don't like 40k.
