According to Illic Nightspear (Aka Last Hope of the Eldar, Traveler between the Planes, the Warder of Rhana Dandra), the threat of the Necrons far overshadows any other foe to the Eldar race and the galaxy. To him, not even Chaos and She who thirsts scale up to the soulless evil of the Necrons.

I have read the Necron fluff and I just don't see how they are all that threatening or scary. So is he exaggerating or what?

Nightspear was probably referencing the oldcrons. The newcron fluff isn't nearly as badass as the old fluff.

Nope. Fluff just changed, that's all. Necrons used to be in the "will help you shed the itchy flesh of existence" level of evil, and have gone into "muh character" derpy undead grandpas.

Hah, yeah... if by "other tyranids" you meant "Wants to extinquish life from the galaxy because it's a illogical and troublesome, and would rather harvest your souls and snuff life out of the galaxy because they're colossal dicks".

But no, the Ward/5th Defense Force just always falls back on "C'Tan did it", or "'other tyranids'", because it never wants to actually read the fluff beyond what /tg/ regurgitates all the time.

I get the feeling that most people complaining about it have not actually read it, and just jumped on the bandwagon. You can still play oldcrons, if you want to. It's all about how you fluff your necrons.

If I remember correctly, it was one of the C'tan that gave Eldar the fear of death. This lead the Eldar to seek to enjoy life more which was a slippery slope for immortal creatures with nothing to do but get freakier and freakier. Eventually this lead to Slaanesh being born and dooming the Eldar race.

So the Necrons did beat the Eldar

The problem here is that they are ''Yet Another Horrible Doom Confronts The Galaxy'' while being, well, Newcrons.

Pretty jarring when the fluff says they are terrifying horrors from beyond the grave and then we see them act like...LOONY TUNES!

Rhana Dandra is sort of a big deal. A big deal in an Eldar Ragnarok kinda way. A big deal in an "all the phoenix lords fucking DIE" kinda way. "The final battle against chaos". "The immaterium and materium will be destroyed in the fighting". Shit's sort of significant even if only a prophecy.

This is the first time it's been expanded on ever, and supposedly the Necrons are going to be the spark that starts that whole shebang.

It's as likely as the Orks uniting in a single Waaaagh!

Before they can unite, they need to go through a ''Game of thrones'' style conflict which would see many Necrons destroyed. Also even in their own codex the Necrons are dreading the coming of the Tyranids.

Not that anon but in universe crons of way back were united under the Triarchy. That's what the Praetorians are trying to do. Bring everyone back into line under the Silent King.

So there's actually a possibility that they might unite, although too many phaerons are either too insane or too individualistic for it to happen.

Plus united and full powered Necrons would probably steamroll everyone else with the vague hints of crazy doomsday weapons we get.

Thanks to the Command Protocols. The Silent King got rid of them.

Now each Phaeron wants to be king and it will only end in blood (or oil..whatever the Necrons bleed).

The prophecy of Alaitoc sees them tearing apart the galaxy in a third War of Secession. So it's very unlikely that the Necrons will ever unite, from what we have seen so far.

I prefer Tomb Kings IN SPAAAAAACE! over Cyberdalek Terminators with no Doctor to counter balance them.

Seriously, it was fucking depressing fluffwise, and not in the good way. As, say, the Guard you just had to get used to the fact that you canonically couldn't do a single fucking thing to the 'crons without throwing an entire system's armored forces at a single planet. And even then you'd probably lose.

Tyranids could be deflected, stalled, or starved. Chaos can be rooted out. Orks can be exterminated. Eldar can be flummoxed. Space Marines can be killed. Guard can be slaughtered. Tau can be decapitated. But Necrons have no morale, teleport to be healed when damaged, and will end your shit almost regardless of armor or weaponry.

Forget the 'nids, the Necrons were the real threat.

The old rules actually handwaved it as the enemy altering their weaponry or whatever to fight the Necrons.

>Fighting the Necrons
>Necrons are largely mechanical creatures, and as such it might seem inappropriate that weapons such as sniper rifles, which normally use poison to achieve their effect, and agonisers, which work against an enemy’s nervous system, should be effective against them. In practice, anyone using these weapons against Necrons would make adjustments to counter the Necrons’ defences, for example, using acid rounds instead of poisoned rounds or altering the charge from an agoniser to affect the Necrons’ power systems. Because of this, Necrons do not receive any special immunities in this regard. In the Warhammer 40,000 universe there are many troops with an equal claim to special immunities, such as Tyranids and Daemons. It is therefore logical to assume that weaponry will keep pace to maintain fairness and avoid unnecessary complication.

And that's why Dark Eldar are invigorated and empowered by feeding on the souls of the soulless machines.

And though it's backed up by GW in this case, I really wouldn't cite Dawn of War as proof of anything. Though I know that hasn't stopped you before and won't stop you now.

Eldar stayed immortal well after Necrons lost The War in Heaven. Nightbringer utterly failed in achieving anything when he got curb stomped by Khaine seeing as threatening a reincarnating race with death is about as useful as a chocolate ashtray.

Necrons players claiming to have "won" by getting beaten into a coma for so long only to regain consciousness just in time to see a completely unrelated enemy of the Eldar's own creation push them to the brink of extinction makes the farseers of Alaitoc look downright competent in comparison.

Not really. Some, if not, most of the Necrons want to see them destroyed due to them being the Greatest of the Old Ones servants and them taking the galaxy that was rightfully theirs.

Illic's codex entrey has a single ambiguous sentence in his fluff saying "his acolytes whisper" that he may be helping stave off Rhana Danra. Basically that his notoriously incompetent fans reckon he's important. Multiple Phoenix Lord entry mentions in unequivocal terms that they will be the ones throwing the preparations for the party and specifically that Fuegan is the host. It's been that way since forever.

Whatever relevance Illic has to Rhana Dandra it's oblique at best seeing as it's a battle against Chaos, which Necrons have absolutely nothing to do with.

In the same way Alaitoc foresaw the eventual retreat of the Imperium. i.e an asspull to make their defeat seem less embarrassing.

There isn't a single thing unique or original about them and everytime GW try to emphasize their relevance and place within the universe they just steal achievements and details from another faction.

'Tyranids are in the galaxy because of Necrons! No wait, The War in Heaven is all Necron's doing! Also, Rhana Dandra? That's not about Chaos anymore it's Necron business!

Necron fluff is what happens if you shoehorn a new race in via retcon. Late 2nd edition, I seem to remember. It's a bit of hit and miss with new races.

I don't get this complaint. Yeah, they had no especial reason to fear death, but that doesn't matter when a reality-warping space god literally *forced it into them*. If anything, the fact that they could reincarnate just increases the impact, since they get to live out that fear again and again and again.

But the reason real-world terrorism works is because you only get one life to live. That's why the threat of having it taken from you is so dire. When you reincarnate that becomes meaningless. If the eldar were really afraid to die, wouldn't they stop being warriors altogether and try to hide? Obviously that isn't the case so not only does that tidbit of lore not make sense logically, it doesn't even make sense in the logic of the 40k universe.

You don't remember 40k before the 3rd edition Necron Codex, do you? They had to retcon a fuckload of stuff just to cram "C'Tan did it" into every aspect of the setting (for example, there suddenly being two Wars in Heaven, which were called the exact same thing for no goddamn reason).

I, for one, welcome the change back to the previous status quo. The whole "everything is C'Tan" thing was incredibly forced, apart from the Void Dragon being imprisoned on Mars, which was actually pretty cool.

I am claiming that aspect warriors did not exist pre-fall.

I back this up with the codex.

You are rebutting that aspect gear could have existed before the aspects.

You are backing this up with nothing.

Now I don't need to carry the argument further, because you are the one who needs to evidence his positive claim, but here's evidence that specifically counters your unsupported claim:

>"Jain Zar's astonishing swiftness and mercurial temperament are echoed by her howling banshee daughters, and it was she who first perfected the Scream that Steals
>"Mask of Jain Zar - First and greatest of all Howling Banshee masks"

There's a reference to Jain Zar, a character who didn't exist prior to the fall, being the first to use a banshee mask. Page 57 of the current codex.

Furthermore, the next page specifically says Maugan Ra "fashioned weapons of occult nature" directly attributing Reaper tech to his own creation.

Dark Eldar are crack fiends for pain and will shank a nigger to buy himself an extra day from Slaanesh's rape dungeon.

Orks just love a good scrap.

Chaos is a force of nature profiteering from the perpetual war of 40k.

Tau are a naive race seeking to unite various aline factions under their rule.

Tyranids are the all consuming threat that can only be defeated if all the factions ally together.

The warp is the realm of the impossible. Once it consumes the materiel realm, they won't need it to survive anymore, since only the realm of the impossible will remain.

Not that guy, but:

>Nope. Tau and Eldar are occasional allies.

Usually when a bigger threat shows up, like the Tyranids or Chaos. After that's dealt with, it's right back to "Die, xenos scum".

>No, then they'd have no source of power.

What Chaos wants to do is basically consume the galaxy, turning it into a giant Eye of Terror. Mortals will be trapped in the overlaps between warp and realspace, completely at the mercy of the daemons and the Chaos Gods. And then the Chaos Gods will go right back to fighting each other.

Pretty much.

>Shard worshiping
There's your problem right there. I want my immortal beastly evil soul sucking bad motherfuckers back.

How the fuck does "shard of the deciever" work anyway, seeings how he was a fucking trickster and not a "in your face murdermachien" like the nightbinger, where it makes nearly no difference if he is a slave that destroys shit or a god that destroys shit.

and 4+ saves as standard? FUCK THAT

I figured that was just for Necrons a C'Tan hasn't potentially taken over.
That's the interpretation I'm going to continue to use since homebrewing opportunities are always the best.

If it is all Necrons, fuck you too Phil Kelly
