G1B1's were the cannon fodder droids, the G2B1 series were a little more advanced than that I thought

I had interpreted it as g2b1's being to g1b1's as b1's are to OOM's. Being its own independent thinkers that are free-ish of the hivemind but still a cannon fodder tier unit. I took it that units like warlock are an irregularity in that they had performed well enough for Chari to notice them and elevate those select few g2's above cannon fodder status.

Also, sorry. More typos... need to edit more before I post.

>>4871546 #

Well even in the first story your guy showed up in, he was a part of a whole squad of g2's that had been sent out into the meat grinder. g2b1 000001's job afterwards was literally to die constantly to serve as an example which would give the g2's around him combat data that would maybe have them die slightly less fast. I think they might have some level of authority over the g1's but generally the only difference is that they have some slight physical advancements and that they have the capacity for learning and decision making on an individual level rather than just being controlled by a central computer like their predecessors. All this still kinda seems to fit the fit the bill for 'cannon fodder' to me, even if some are upgraded to fit specialized roles which take them out of that category, like your snipers.

Firstkha (IE: g2b1-000001) wasn't around (or at least, alive) during the final battle for Agakhet's fortress. He probably only got remade recently. ...if Chari bothered to build the bot back up.

All other G2's don't usually get the priviledge of being reconstructed, unless if their head survives and they get scooped out of the pile of bodies on time.

Imagine being so unsettling when laughing that you even make the non-existent asshole of a Necron clench.

>>4871935

I figured that some of the ones dying on the side of the corpse pile facing away from the enemy lines would have a higher chance of their damage being light enough that it would be easier and less resource intensive to just repair them instead of scrapping them entirely.
Thought that was part of the whole reason that they were made to come apart so cleanly when they were taken down. So that the spare parts taken from them would be in better condition, which would make repair and reuse of some of the luckier units much easier.
Don't think it's unreasonable to assume that at least a good few out of the massive horde would get the chance to come back a few times since a good part of their purpose and design is centered around being disposable and recyclable anyways.

and so the drukari progenitors are exterminated adn the aeldari are finally taught temperance.

>>4876357
Khaine's kids aren't the real problem though. Sure they are angry fucks but I wouldn't say they caused the pleasure cults and such things.

dont necrons already have weapons that blow stars and a regular basis? Now that i think about it im pretty sure there is an entire dynasty dedicated to the practice.

>I turn my head and body to the central stage, between the hundreds of Necrontyr attending.
>Each of them recreated by hand, though I was there to refine the details that the Royal Warden missed.
>The creases of the faces, the squint in their eyes, the direction of their pupils.
>But regardless of such trifle matters, the actors…
>A young, but sturdy built male, Overlord Narath…
>Lord Narath, at this juncture of events, as his mother was still living… If barely…
>A taller, older noble, dressed in gilded robes, and the mantle of the prospected Phaeron.
>He sits in the throne on the far wall… His face sculpted in immaculate detail of discipline and stoicism.
>He is Overlord Narmerth, eldest son of the sitting Phaeron, whom too was suffering the last years of his life.
>Besides him sits a young boy, his child, named Narmerth the Younger, still unconcerned with his future of war against enemies he’s never met in anything other than storybooks.
>Near the top of the stairs leading to the throne’s level, stood a man built in steely muscle.
>Dressed in robes of the dark greens, with traditional ‘party warplates’, as they were called.
>I pause as I look up, seeing his face.
>Or rather, lack thereof.
>I chuckle softly as I pull out a phosglyph panel, and start to draw the face in the hologram.
>”Now now, dear Zahnrakh… No need to be shy about having your face be seen in the galleries~”
>With the mnemonic databank the Royal Warden produced, I sculpt his features as they were seen by those attending.
>He looked older than he was, coming from a lineage of Immortals close to the Phaeron’s family.
>A broad face, pitted and scarred, face tattooed to display his devotion.
>The bulbous growth growing beneath his lower jaw, too small a tumor for it to be removed yet.
>But the expression was most intriguing.
>Like his master, he tries to maintain an expression of discipline, but lacks the years of training.
>The veneer of stoicism is marred by the raised cheeks, the mild discoloring of the skin.
>A most minute twitch in the edges of his lips, the faintest start of a smirk or smile.
>Troubled, but in a pleasant manner…

>She was built strong and bore the scars of many tumor removal surgeries, as well as organ transplants…
>Her expression bears a regal indifference to the scene around her as she drifts to the stairs leading up to the throne.
>But in her eyes, I see a mischievous glint, and perusing the scene’s follow up moments, I can see the breaking of a smile on her face two seconds from this one instance.
>She is Ashanaru of the Teraphekh Dynasty, in her finest livery…
>During her coming of age ceremony.

>Tradition dictates, as well, that she is to politely refuse the requests, until the to-be-husband of the lady offers her to dance.

From what i can gather the necrontir has a life expectancy that of a human, more or less 100 years.

i wonder what happened with the political squabbling with that bumptek guy some threads ago.

>>4878483
he's been keeping down low until we are back on the tomb world

>>4878466
Incorrect, the average human lifespan is longer than that of the Necrontyr.

A wealthy Necrontyr would likely be able to live to around 80 at their highest, but they'd be absolute wrecks by that point.

I'm going with the idea that 60 is considered their average age of 'you're supposed to be dead already'

>>4878051

cant he gemake those from memory again??

ish will know someone has touched his stuff.
also burning down a recreation of his childhood home is not gonna make him happy

>>4880097
Hahahaha, I'd love to see just how badly that would go.

>>4880097
At that point, Ish would be fighting the entire necron empire. Necrons are like most 40k races in that they are extremely xenophobic and (your race) supremist. If they found out he killed his boss over not being able to prostrate himself and worship a shrine to an outside species, he would most likely get turbo-ass-blasted by the entire empire, regardless of what he offers in terms of knowledge. They would just drag it out of his severed skull once they kill him, Savarekh wasn't joking when he said that the Executioner would have likely killed him by now based on how he expects Ish to act in front of the Executioner on his little fortress sidequest. Hell, he already was, but Orakin undid it.

The only situation I can see Ish getting away with killing Savarekh is if he does it in self defense, and they don't figure out the reason was a xeno shine. Ish has friends in Orakin, Trazin, the triarch council, and the Executioner, so they might let it pass, but by the skin of ish's teeth if so. As much as they may like Ish, he is still Savarekh's subordinate, and they don't like the idea of a lesser disobeying their superior when commanded to die.

This might not be good for Anon. I don't think he could win a mind battle against an actual cryptek.

i think they cant even battle or separate. i think that they are fused but not to the point of singularity

This is most plausible, but due to the missing component in the necron skull, Ishskar remains fragmented, and the soul of Anon is what filled in the missing peice. He won't be able to regain control unless the soul enters a meditative state, allowing subroutines to continue in it's stead. As we have seen.

It's likely that Ishskar may make contact with Anon in the near future. Like a voice in his head. I believe he will help the human creature. After all, it helped him, and his people.

am back will continue.
