Iron Lord Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 With the new fluff about the Necrons building Dolmen Gates to link to the Webway - and the material in Collected Visions about an ancient gate unearthed in a Terran desert- maybe that's a Dolmen Gate, that the Emperor's trying to make use of, to link to the Webway so he can start building his own webway passages to the main body of it?

Iron Lord Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Or, at least, extreme "cross the galaxy in moments" FTL- they might still have inertialess drives, but with a maximum speed cap.

Perrin Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 They can't access the whole webway, it says that safeguards in the webway try to close down a Dolman Gate as soon as it opens, so the Necrons can't really rely too much on it. Also when the Eldar inherited the webway from the Old Ones they couldn't maintain most of the safeguards so they cut away the infected parts the necrons were using. So i guess the Necrons can only get to certain places in the galaxy and can't get to Eldar craftworlds/planets or the DE City.

Apothecary Vaddon Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 In the spirit of what has already been stated: you all know who'll be in the next Necron Codex? The team that'll dismantle the galaxy, SG-1 Necronified. Meet Colonel Jack O'Neill (Pariah), Teal'c (Necron Lord), Daniel Jackson (Dunno), and Major Sam Carter (Tomb Spyder). And yes, they will bear similarity to their SG counterparts.

Sons of Horus Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The Warp is anathema to Necrons, and the Webway (although it's somewhat separate from the insane part) is still part of the Warp.

Billuriye Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Warp is anathema to C'tan. Necrons are just mechanized necron'tyr. That part is sketchy for me though so feel free to correct me.

dustermaker Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 For all we know the Necrons could have created the Webway or been around when it was still widely used. Remember, they are still waking up and have been around for a LONG time.

Iron Lord Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 The gate in Deathwatch, is stone, crescent shaped, inlaid with geometric metal shapes- sounds more Necron-ish than anything else. I think that's where the Dolmen Gates idea came from.

Watch-commander Albus Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I do not have the new codex, but I just found this interesting quote on the Lexicanum about Trazyn the Infinite: His collection includes the fabled Wraithbone choir of Altansar, the preserved head of Sebastian Thor, the ossified husk of an Enslaver and a giant man wearing baroque Power Armour. I am particularly curious about the preserved head of Thor (where did he get the head of an Ecclessiarch from?) and the giant in power armour (a primarch?)

Blackwyvern Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 couldnjust be a particularly large marine but its probably just ward screwing with the fluff (again :lol: ) and in the next edition we'll find out its one of the missing primarchs.

Walter Payton Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Baroque is European 17/18th Century style. Which Primarch or marines wear that kind of armour? Would be cool if it was a Primarch though "Baroque" in this sense is one of those Games Workshop stock phrases/words that they use to illustrate something being ancient or elaborate. You must have noticed obscure adjectives like "eldritch", "cyclopean," "striated," "coruscating," and phrases such as "crushed behind their own defences," appearing regularly in Gw writing. It has no connection to the cultural movement of seventeenth century Europe. In this context I think we can just assume it to mean elaborately decorated armour.

Watch-commander Albus Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Baroque is European 17/18th Century style. Which Primarch or marines wear that kind of armour? Would be cool if it was a Primarch though Baroque in this context just means "almost exaggerated, extravagant, complex ornamentation." Just like WH40k is often described as a "baroque universe," by which they just want to say that the drama, tensions, story-lines, characters and events are extravagant, overly elaborated, over-the-top dramatic.

Captain Idaho Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Despite an in-thread warning the very next post was deliberately off topic so I'm assuming this thread is no longer relevent so has gone off topic due to there being nothing else to discuss, therefore I am closing this thread down.
