Conflict in Literature + Necron Books

(Read more for titles and notes, watch out for spoilers)

Man vs. Nature - Devourer This is not the only necron vs. tyranid lit, but I thought the cover illustrated the conflict best. Out of all the horribad things in WH40K, the tyranids tend to be presented as the closest faction to a natural disaster; certainly in Devourer they do not logically justify their presence, nor can they be reasoned with, not by the Blood Angels or Anrakyr or the Tomb World he's trying to wake. Not mindless, but an amoral happenstance, like nature itself.

Man vs. Society - The Lords of Borsis Necron court intrigue played straight, with a sprinkle of delusion on the side. Since this story revolves entirely around the schemings and plottings of necron(tyr) society, with changes in dynastic hierarchy as the final objective, it fits best here.

Man vs. Technology - Indomitus This is an awkward placement, since Indomitus was not, well... a compelling story, with most of its tropes not being explored beyond their first introduction. But it is the most bare-bones way of describing this book's premise. Humans battling a robotic malignancy, albeit with a Bolivian Army Ending, which doesn't conclude the plot in either direction 😞

Man vs. Man - The Twice-Dead King: Ruin Ruin is an exceptionally deep novel, and fits every conflict listed here. It was the hardest one to place, because it's not so much choosing the one that goes best, rather crossing off every other conflict not central to the story. Both gods and the absence-of-gods are a problem in Ruin, as well as nature and technology, but they're not at the heart of Oltyx's problem. Society could be a big one, since Oltyx is an exile - but he’s not trying to antagonize his society throughout Ruin, he's trying to work with it, or at least save it from doom. Self and reality both count, but fit better with other stories in the Nate Crowley corpus. So man vs. man it is. His most important clashes are all with individuals ('man') - Djoseras, Unnas, Hemiun, arguably Yenekh in reserve - and by the end, his crownworld is overrun by the Imperium, who will become the antagonists for the second part of his tale. Man vs. 'Man', with a capital M.

Man vs. Self - The Twice-Dead King: Reign Again, this could have gone elsewhere. In man vs. reality, perhaps, or the god-related ones. But the self is where the conflict of Reign truly lies, since Oltyx's greatest obstacle is himself, and it is his inability to accept that which brings his dynasty close to destruction. Thank goodness he got over that one.

Man vs. Reality - Severed The emotional and philosophical core of this novella relies on it. Zahndrekh's inability to see the world as it is brings about the whole plot, and is at the centre of all of Obyron's musings. Interestingly, reality does not win at the end, at least not what necrons envision reality to be: a place of cold hard facts, with no room for emotion. Zahndrekh would rather dream the impossible dream, which might be the healthier way to deal with their situation.

Man vs. God - The Infinite and the Divine 🚨 𝔻𝕆 ℕ𝕆𝕋 𝔹𝔼 𝔻𝔼ℂ𝔼𝕀𝕍𝔼𝔻 🚨

Man vs. No God - Crusade: Pariah Nexus Not a novel, not 100% about necrons, not even out yet as of now (Dec 2023). This is an inherently problematic conflict for WH40K, because gods are very real and very present in that universe... here I'm only thinking about the necron perspective, and the civil war unfolding in their lore. They banded together in a shared purpose eons ago, destroying the Old Ones who oppressed them, and sundering the star gods who subjected them to biotransference. Now they are as antigod as they could be, and they did not retain their bonds, they have once again turned on each other. So it goes.

Man vs. Author - Codex: Necrons (10th Ed.) (Collector's Ed.) James Workshop knows what they did. 😑

These were the first minis I ever painted, when I got the indomitus box. I was still experimenting but I still really like them :))

Games Workshop warhammer 40k Necron Triarch Stalker.

New from the Imperium magazine. The red and blue stalker took a few hours to paint (not inc. dry time). In the images i have my old stalker too, along with triarchs. These were my first purchases after the indomitus starter set years back. Painting techniques have changed considerably. I’m much less focused on the unseen details now, and I’m better for it.

In this garden shot we see a detachment of triarch bringing a skorpek lord to justice after he adorned himself in the flesh of the vanquished. Tsk tsk, so uncivilised!

These are all in 1:18th scale. From left to right, JoyToy's Brother Orionus, Cobra Techno-Viper, Cobra Fluorescent Green Safety Cone, and the Dual Model Zwei Rabidlydog.

I think they're neat.

Indomitus makes me sad. So many words spent on saying so little. All that I can find are simulacra, like there were once tropes here but the commedia dell'arte got to them before the author did. I think Thorpe should just have taken the Destroyer Lord or the evil vizier and set them loose on the meaties and that would have been more interesting

Deathwing Assault! Another quality Primaris glowup for Belial, whose model isn't even that old but has always been kind of bad. He had kind of a pigeon toe thing going on, an artifact of being one of the very last models designed to be cast in pewter.

For a while, it was preferable to kitbash a proxy out of the Deathwing Terminator box because his model was so bad. I'll miss his goofy little targeting halo, but we all made fun of it at the time so I guess it's fine.

One of my top 5 biggest issues with GW and the Black Library is that three of the most prolific 40k authors are named Gav Thorp, Graham Mcneill, and Guy Haley. That's too many G names. I cannot for the life of me keep them straight. Who wrote what dumb 40k thing and how much do I hate and/or appreciate them for it? I need a chart. Someone find me a cheat sheet I am begging you 😭
