After practicing getting smooth applications on an old Nightscythe, I chose the Transcendent Ctan as my first air brush project. I'm really happy with the gradients I achieved!

Hi! Wanted to ask you about Necron's oculars. Why some of them have only one, and others have two (or even more)? Do they talk about it somewhere in the lore? Usually crypteks and deathmarks have only one, if I remember correctly, right? (Also sorry for resub, fat fingers lmao)

I don't know if there's an official lore explanation! (if there is, someone chime in) But you are right, it's generally crypteks, their cryptothralls, and deathmarks that have the monocular (deathmarks can have sets of little eyes too, but that single main ocular is the most common design). With multiple eyes, I believe it is only destroyers and some deathmarks that have that. That one is probably because destroyers have modified their bodies solely to terrorize and kill, and multiple eyes certainly fits that brief. Some deathmarks might have followed suit. Better aim, surveying the battlefield, etc.

Now I do have a headcanon about the monocular for crypteks/deathmarks. Both are a class in necron society that is useful to the nobility but not part of the nobility. Every empire needs scientists and assassins! But you don't want them getting uppity. A single, alien eye permanently marks them as other. Even though they are by necessity just as sentient as a lord (a braindead cryptek is not super helpful) it will always be obvious what their status is (and more importantly what it isn't).

Boom, brought a simple, unrelated question back around to class dynamics! This is my superpower.

The Ctan Shard of the Void Dragon. Done on commission for a local friend. I used a combination of color shifting metallic paints, dark metallic, the blackest black paint, and heavy object source lighting to get a visually stunning result in a quick turn-around time. Keep an eye out for the video tomorrow!

I’m asking this question to tumblr user horuslupercal but you seem like the necron expert here so I’m requiring your knowledge too

I have a question. Before they met the necrontyr, the C’tan were a bunch of weird space slime floating around the place eating suns right. How did the necrontyr manage to get in contact with them? How did they manage to find out the C’tan were sentient at all?? From the description I saw they behave more like single celled organisms or very strange plants.

This feels more like a group of scientists naming a member of a new species of deep sea squid “Messenger” because it will help them out with studying its species. “Let’s name it Mephet’ran!! It means Messenger. Wouldn’t that be adorable💖?”

Now I may be completely wrong in my assumptions but the idea that the necrontyr anthropomorphised the C’tan, giving them personalities and thoughts that their species simply doesn’t have. And then the C’tan doing the complete opposite to the necrontyr by turning them into the necrons. …similarities parallels narratives…

okay SO I'm going to check some codexes later for in-depth answers if I have the brains for it but I do actually have some answers. not all of them, but I do have some answers!

The necrontyr found what would become the c'tan in space through probes, either by complete accident or, allegedly (it's the Book of Mournful Night in the in-universe Black Library saying this, so this might be eldar bias or it might be the objective truth of the universe, I have zero clue, blame Cegorach), the necrontyr's hatred of the Old Ones was so great that it attracted the c'tan through space and made them come to the necrontyr

This is from the 3rd edition necrons codex, so take it less with a grain and more with the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, but Lexicanum says there's old lore about a c'tan just kinda teleporting to a necrontyr spaceship and starting to kill people and demanding to be worshiped, and that's... one answer as to how first contact went / how they found out the c'tan were intelligent.

This does however contradict the Fandom wiki, which says, without source (god damnit), that the necrons forged bodies for the c'tan based on their old gods (which ***I personally assume*** to mean, like, the necrontyr equivalent of Zeus or Thor or whatever, as in, they were a dead religion for a long while). (This probably comes from a newer codex, but I have to actually look at codex lore for that and I don't actually have access to any codexes, so, again, I'm gonna go snooping and get back to you on this one).

The idea generally that the necrons associated the c'tan with their old or "dead" gods seems to be very prominent though, and it is a form of anthropomorphization, absolutely, so you were right on the money on that! Even back in that third edition necrons codex it's stated that the necrons thought the c'tan were the spawn of an older (dead) god of theirs. So yeah, the necrontyr did anthropomorphize (necrontyrmorphize?) the c'tan, but in a holier sort of way

Imagine if someone found sea slugs in space and we put them in, like, Odinbot 3000 mechas and worshiped them as gods, and then in return they decided to eat our souls. Is this based or cringe? Vote now on your phones

Also I reverse google searched the quote you sent and Lexicanum claims it's also from that 3rd edition Necrons codex which I didn't check until I'd written the bit about the salt mine, I am so sorry. I'm not deleting it though bc what is the internet if not to make jokes that are only funny to you

We are all need new necrons codexes

Fandom needs to cite its sources. Doing this is like, a good chunk of the reason why Lexi is better (apart from the not being part of Fandom wikia conglomerate. also Lexi notes that N'kari went through life as a male eldar before becoming a daemon and I don't think Fandom does, which is a loss for lgbt diversity among eldritch abominations, tbh)

(Sources are great and they made Fulgrim bisexual)

Anyways, I don't think there's any source that talks in depth about whether or not the c'tan were intelligent before being given bodies, so "the c'tan were given sapience by the necrontyr with their new bodies and they proceeded to immediately use this to fuck the necrontyr over" is a perfectly reasonable assumption to make. Headcanon to have? Interpretation? it's my interpretation now, for certain

Also idk if I understand the "And then the C’tan doing the complete opposite to the necrontyr by turning them into the necrons" bit at the end? I'm not actually very sure what you mean for it and I am curious about it because that sounds interesting but there's a number of plausible interpretations i could make for that statement and I would appreciate clarification if you wanna give it

I'm ending it on 12 because it's a tidy number but I have nothing else to add so I'm just gonna put a funny here: heyheyheyyy c'maahn the Deceiver's just a little guy, the Deceiver's just a little guyy, noo, it's also his birthday, the Deceiver's a little birthday boyy

anyway I hope this helps!

#ask #yestheantichrist #so fucking proud of the fact that i remembered the ctan are associated w the old necrontyr gods off the top of my head #and i was like ok wait a minute and then i opened the wiki and kaboom #all this stuff #anyway lexi wiki best wiki we love you lexicanum
