Holy fuck, those animations are a joke. Where's the lumbering trudge with which they walked in Dow1? Only the warriors sorta have that vibe, everything else could just be reskinned guardsmen. No character at all, those doomstalker move like on a rail. Sloppy shovelware quality

I actually laughed when I saw the destroyers twitch in place while shooting like it's 2004. No reanimating necrons standing up from the ground, they just teleport back to their squad. No buildings emerging from the ground, they just phase in from the air. I knew these morons would fuck it up

How is this game not DOA? Some literally who devs with a mediocre first game are competing against Creative assembly who will deliver what people actually liked about dawn of war (large scale battles with lots of factions). Total war games also get constant updates and dlc factions.

Highly venomous - not that it would bother you, dear colleague - and can grow to over fifteen khut long when they reach maturity. But the real challenge is how quick they breed. In fact, I would recommend you start the pursuit quickly. Fourteen juveniles were in this particular gift. Or was it sixteen? Anyway, within twelve hours the population will have established roving kin groups to place their eggs. Did I forget to mention the eggs? Half of the breeding pairs already have sacs. The population will double in less than twenty-four hours, provided they don't eat too many of the young. Happy hunting!

>>744282484
Not in this conversation but from what I understand 99.9% of necrons are still automatons in the sense that they have no personality, no free will, don't talk, etc. The lords or nobility cast are the ones that maintained some aspect of individuality. I'm guessing that's a 0.1% or so going by the imperium's nobility to pleb ratio, but I guess it depends on how their society was divided.

Either way, it's a small percentage for basically only the named characters controlling hordes of terminators. Assuming that this understanding is not wrong, then it does come out as whining.

>>744282359
Except it isn't Doom of Malan'tai or a swarmlord saying it. The person saying it is an immortal space techno wizard, and furthermore is an individual who was part of an actual civilization and not just a random mindless biomass form. You could say that any random line from literally any faction would sound dumb coming from a swarm lord, it's a completely nonsensical argument.

The Necrons weren't those things either till the retcon. I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Imagine if the Tyranids were likewise retconned and the Doom of Malan'tai is now a immortal space bug wizard from some previous galaxy. I think the setting as a whole would be worse off for it

>>744282798

You keep using "human motivations" to mean having any motivations at all. By your logic, orks, eldar, and tau all have human motivations too.

>>744282861
even if you ignore the secondaries it's still amazing how the book also mindbroke people who engage in the main hobby. There's a notable amount of ork players who will express their disdain for that book just because of how orks were depicted on it. Not even eldarfags get as buttblasted by other books whenever thay have to suffere from the ''writer's bias''

>>744282798
It's not the issue with specific characters like Redditzyn existing, but that they can exist at all because Necrons are just metal humans now, so any character a human can have, be it a quippy jester or a badass killer, a Necron can have as well.
As soon as Necrons were able to display the entire spectrum of human characters they became fucking BORING and all their magic was gone

Anon warhammer is made to sell toys to children, this is fitting dialogue

>>744283024
The key difference here is that tyranids have actual lore. Oldcrons were "literally nothing: the faction"

>>744283189
I assume you know this and you're just shitposting because you are a shitposter at heart, but it's made to sell toys to men. Children are unlikely to have the amount of money it takes to build armies and for the majority of them they are also unlikely to convince their parents to spend that much on tabletop miniatures. I'm sure some do, but far from the main demographic.

Warhammer is mainstream and most people don't even play the tabletop games
Relatable characters are what get pushed on Tiktok and Reddit for normies to consume
Of course that has an effect on future depictions and further flanderization

Oldcrons still exist in the setting, you fucking idiots. Look into the empire of the severed.

>>744283152
By that metric the only faction you should not completely hate is tyranids then. Is their hivemind being actively malicious and not just mindlessly looking for biomass too much character for you too?

>>744283054
>By your logic, orks, eldar, and tau all have human motivations too.
Correct. They do. You hit the nail on the head, you cut to the chase, you zeroed in on it like a heat-seeking missile - People can't write non-human characters. Because Necrons didn't yap, didn't display their motivations and desires on a plate for you to digest, your mind had to fill in the blanks on your own.
The fucking nanosecond they opened their pieholes and poured their hearts out, it turned out they're just like humans. Because the people who write them can't write non-human characters

>>744283154
>Ugh like just let people enjoy things???

>>744283152
OK well then Eldar are just humans and so are Tau and Kroot and Orks

>>744282708
But that 0.1% determines the whole factions goals and motivations. That's the real problem. The Necrons went from an unknowable eldritch horror to a bunch of petty bickering nobles. It might make them more interesting for people who play the faction, but the setting as a whole lost something with the retcon.

I do not give a fuck about overarching WH40k lore, not 'old' old, not 20 years old, not new
I just like DoW1 Necrons more, simple as

>>744283430
I don't hate other factions because the other faction did not start out like Tyranids or like Necrons, they were always the "relatable people" factions. Necrons being turned into people faction #42 was a loss to me, so yes only Tyranids remain that are in that niche

>>744283457
>didn't display their motivations and desires on a plate for you to digest, your mind had to fill in the blanks on your own.
So basically what you're telling me is that the real reason you're bitching is because your headcanon about the necrons turned out to be false.

How so? In the sense they've now been out longer than the Oldcrons so they've in more stories? The Nids are pretty much unchanged in theme and position in the setting.
I'm curious, if their position were switched. And the Tryanids had been changed back then, instead of the Necrons. Do you think you'd still be here arguing in favor of the change?

I understand where the necrons whiny dude is coming from, honestly. I just think I don't have the amount of autism necessary to go on a whiny crusade about it and I can see positives for both different forms of necrons.

Also, when I think about actually playing them in DoW and Total War (eventually when they come in as a faction DLC) I would prefer my lords to actually not just be automatons.

I'll give you that, from a financial perspective nucrons were probably a great idea. Median IQ consoomcattle love to be able to greatly customize their little snowflake sub-factions with epic colorful characters. GW is a business, they made an adjustment to rake in more dough

This is a post-SC2 strategy game, everything is made with competitiveness in mind and that utterly annihilates faction identity. It's "unfair" for Eldar guardians to easily hit and run the Necron warriors, so their speed can't be too far apart.

Competitiveniggers ruin RTS games' coolness factor.

Too hard to balance around in the off chance this game miraculously develops an e-sports scene and becomes a money printer for the devs :(

Admittedly, I have warmed up to certain parts of Nu-cron lore, especially parts where they are experimenting on living matter to try and reverse engineer what "life" is and certain stories tickled my fancy (Twice Dead King).
Anyone who is trying to say it is a blueprint to make Tyranids more "interesting" are high as fuck.

>>744284674
I haven't watched the trailers for the other factions so I can't say about them, but necrons have never been the "big boom" faction. The necron faction has exactly two weapons at their disposal, green lasers that have no impact, and green lightning that has no impact.

>>744280253
as someone who used to feel that way you gotta understand nobody who argues for oldcrons plays tabletop or paints. It's a stance held purely by secondaries who at best play the video games and at worst just watch youtube lore videos

>>744284836
do we need two of those, we have tyranids

There are certain aspects of this I like, but there also doesn't seem to be enough "oomph" to compete with OG DoW for me. The original's best traits were that each faction felt unique enough that you could pick one to suit your style and that there was a lot of "Little touches" like the animations to make it feel like playing a battle in 40k.

>>744284826
In al fairness watching a lore video is worth more than painting. Painting really doesn't aggregate anything to anything. A lore video might actually teach you something.

Painting really is at the bottom of all 40k activities.

My question is why squads if they all act like a single unit? Even in Iron Harvest the squads opperated more individualistic. Even in general what's the point of squads when even in table top they aren't counted as a squad? Why not just make them all single units? It looks weird seeing a whole squad in perfect sync.

>>744285101
I personally put modeling and painting hand in hand because it allows me to make <my_doods> for custom campaigns that I do with my friends that I write lore for after every battle based on what happened in the battle.

Infinite and the Divine

It was a completely different type of eldricht horror, they kinda complimented each other nicely, same as the C'tan complimented the Chaos gods by basically being gods of the material realm and Necron technological prowess not stemming from warp magic but pure mastery of the physical sciences
Now Necrons are in the club that has 50 members

not the sperg who goes off in every fucking thread but the vague concept of an ancient people mindbroken after losing their souls and bodies with fractured minds attempting to rid every world of all life is pretty cool. Nucrons sand off alot of the horror aspect of the faction, while introducing alot of human emotions that are often played as a joke.
Doesn't help when every media franchise in the last 30 years has been over time sanding away interesting or edgy aspects that could be seen as limiting to a mass audience, so the paranoia is valid, esp when you see some of the other bullshit GW keeps trying, i.e.
>trying to kill off the funny sex god in TWO of their game settings (Warhammer in AoS, and 40k with the failed Ynarri plotline)
>when not being generic enemies, having the orks play almost exclusively joke roles. this is abit of a waste considering the strength of grimdark parts of their lore (fungus impossible to stop spreading, torture and maiming for fun)
>the Tau being a goody-two shoes faction when introduced, making people assume they were going to be the focus of the setting in a protagonist role, compared to the heckin problematic imperium (this was later retconned to mind-control being used to keep their empire in-line, and exploiting their naivety for hijinks like confusing craftworld and dark eldar)
>more of a focus on individual characters rather than focusing on new lore for the setting as a whole. the push towards character drama and personalities again taking away from the inhumanity and grimdark aspects of the setting
tl:dr most of the actual grimdark stuff is old lore, and people are weary when everything they keep adding including nucrons makes the setting lighter and just a little more gay

That's how it was in DoW1 too. Necrons didn't have any building or training animations. They just appeared, same with reinforcement. The trailer showed dead necrons coming back did you watch the trailer?

>>744285038
They were similar in a sense but ultimately different flavors of eldritch horror. Whether or not or not we needed two of them I guess is a matter of option. I'd say yeah for a setting like 40k

>>744285258
We're talking about reanimation, not reinforcements

taste is subjective but these are the books that always get mentioned when people ask for Necron books to read:
The trifecta of recommendations
>Twice-Dead King duology
>The Infinite and the Divine (there's a sequel by the same author coming out soon)
>Severed (Novella)
other necron related content you might wanna check out
>The Word of the Silent King (short story but more of a Blood Angels book in which Dante meets the Silent King while fighting Tyranids)
>War in the Museum (short story about Trazyn the Infinite)
>Bleeding Stars (more Trazyn short story)
>Tomb World (a more recent release but kinda meh book)
There's other books in which you can find more Necrons but some of them are part of a series of books (like pic related) in which Necrons aren't the main featured faction so that's up to you whether you wanna get into them or not

>>744285258
No, you're confusing reinforcing squads for power with dead squad members (on the ground) randomly resurrecting and rejoining it free of charge. There is no such mechanic in dow4 as necrons don't leave bodies behind

>>744285582
Necrons reinforce (replenish fallen units) for free in contrast to the other factions that have to pay resources and can toggle on or off
In effect they are always healing and sometimes this happens in a big spurt to mimic resurrection but you're right that the main function is the resurrection gallery
Much less exciting

didnt devs said they would improve the visual clarity few weeks ago?

I think (and hope) that this trailer was made in 2025 and so does not show progress (if any was made). All the cinematic trailers have been made last year based on reused clips
