About this deal

Space Battle: A lengthy one at that. When Orks invade Serenade and threaten the Tomb, Trazyn defends the planet's surface while Orikan destroys their ships. There are so many Species involved in this story that you have to be a fan of at least one of em. There are some Eldar, Tyranids, Orks, Humans (even Astartes are mentioned) and of course a lot about Necrons. And every single one of them plays an important role for the climax and overall story. After nearly destroying one another repeatedly while clashing over the Orb, the Necron council finally summons both Necrons and forces them to work together on the pain of having both of their reanimation abilities canceled. The council views them working together as a greater punishment than death since Trazyn and Orikan loathe each other so deeply by this point. Necrons have no need to smile, yet Trazyn is described as smiling constantly. Orikan loathes this and its implied Trazyn smiles explicitly for this reason.

Orks. Nothing do add there. While they encounter or fight against/alongside other species i think the whole part about the ork invasion is just what you would expect from Orks in a Necron book. Now think about this: Trazyn is kinda interested in their culture and of course explains some things about them to Orikan, who himself is just extremely confused. Orks are funny cause explaining them to a friend who is new to 40k is the BEST. so yeah. Orks. An army of Necron destroyers wages war on an Exodite world and after killing off large fauna, starting killing the environment. A wounded destroyer is shown crawling over thousands of miles using his remaining abilities to squash whatever insects he comes across. encompassing accounts of infinity, such as Moore (1990/2019; for another recent treatment that includes extensive discussionTime Dissonance: As immortal Necrons, Orikan and Trazyn speak casually of centuries and even millennia. It's mentioned that Necron stage plays can take over a decade to be performed in full, and Orikan regularly spends whole centuries in meditation and thinks nothing of it.

Robert Rath did a very good job and i just want to mention some things i really liked about the book and maybe discuss it a bit in the comments. Orikan on the other hand witnessed such immense power that he himself was frightened of it. All he wanted was to make (himself mostly but also) every Necron a god-like entity but when he himself ascended into literal godhood, he goes mad afterwards. Trazyn and Orikan FIGHT ORKS in SPACE. The two are forced to go up against a huge ork pirate fleet and in the process, Trazyn accidentally wound Orikans pride. He lays out a plan to successfully counter the Ork fleet before Orikan essentially says the equivalent of "I remember how to fight Orks dammit!" It comes off as a such a weird father teaching his son to ride a bike moment. The natural numbers form the most elementary number system. (Some mathematicians count \(0\) as a natural number as well, but some others do not.) \(1\) is a natural number. For any natural number \(n\),The Ending is just.. epic. The battle was so intense and important that Trazyn, who really really really really cares about the past and literally breaks necron rules to perserve ancient artifacts, gives Orikan the Aeldari Stone-Thing to give his rival the strength to fight off the shards... wich he does - and him really worrying about Orikan and even carrying him out of the Tomb made them feel like unhealthy-"to the death"-rivals becoming friends. So, with Necron's we envision zombie terminator mummies IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE. And with this book we got that, but we also got a strange view of Necron society thatr makes them SO DAMN LIKABLE. The rivalry between Trazyn and Orikan is perfect but the book as a whole stands out. Time Skip: Played with. Most of the book concerns Trazyn and Orikan's repeated visits to the planet Serenade over the course of thousands of years, and each time the planet has changed markedly. To the two of them, however, their Time Dissonance means their experiences are more or less continuous.

Sitcom Arch-Nemesis : The fued between the titular duo. Either this, or Arch-Enemy, as their antics range from comically petty to horrifyingly cruel. numbers whose cube is less than 2, while \(R\) includes all the rational numbers whose cube is greater than 2. Since there is

But when an artefact emerges that may hold the key to the necrons' next evolution, these two obsessives enter a multi-millennia game of cat and mouse that ends civilisations, reshapes timelines, and changes both forever. As riddles unwind and ancient secrets are revealed, the question remains: will their feud save the necron race, or destroy it? While Orikan stays serious for most of the time, Trazyn is doing his jokes and *little pranks* on him. (for example: throwing a Genestealer/Tyranid at Orikan just for the giggles or showing off the statue/church window the humans made to honour trazyn fight off the ork invasion) Mistaken Identity: One of Trazyn's exploits ended up this way, as a world he accidentally wound up saving from an Ork invasion ended up seeing Trazyn and his Necron legions as a chapter of oddly-adorned Space Marines, christening them as members of the Silver Skulls chapter and the planet erecting statues in their honor. Trazyn recounting the whole endeavor to Orikan somehow manages to make the Necron's Perpetual Smiler nature even bigger in delight by the absurdity of it all. It does require a little bit of knowledge of the Warhammer 40K universe to fully appreciate, but if you like sci-fi dark comedies, it is well worth the little investment to learn what an "Aeldari" is or what is meant by a Necron's "Necrodermis."
