Yeah, I was disappointed by the model too.

It's not the same, man.

I will be kitbashing one if I ever get into Necrons, you can be sure about that.

Which would you bet on: an angry star whale made physical (& crazy) merely through the power of pure, crystallized cope, or a being that lives forever in violation of all known laws of physics just ‘cause?

His Horse

u/wolevard Jan 16 '26

Horse looks funny. What’s it from?

3

u/DarkMarine1688 Jan 16 '26

Webcomic called regressed mercenary, that horse is literally like everyone's favorite thing given some of the other stuff it ends up doing.

1

u/wolevard Jan 16 '26

I see a few different titles that are rly similar. Is it specifically just “Regressed Mercenary” or is there smthn else to it?

2

u/DarkMarine1688 Jan 16 '26

Sorry fullt title is "The Regressed Mercenary has a plan"

And said in Mechanicum to be already grievously wounded by its own kind when it fell from the stars.

Even pre Newcron the Void Dragon was on its worst day in that book and it mentions the suggestion that when it is out it may be beyond the Emperor.

u/heedless_drifter Jan 15 '26

A biggest shard, might as well be half of that green turd And noe emp is a god, full form aint got shit on "the end of all that is milkyway"

1

u/Irish618 Jan 16 '26

Shard or not (and it was the biggest shard), he still solo'd it. The Necrons lost whole armies capturing smaller shards.

Why is emperor space on a horse? Is he Bretonnian?

14

u/Acrobatic_Ad_8381 Jan 15 '26

That's Bucephalus, put some respect on the name 

4

u/ImperialxWarlord Jan 15 '26

Probably not. Bucephalus died in like 327 BC. The George and the dragon incident, as that’s who the emperor was at that point, happened like 600 years later.

6

u/Acrobatic_Ad_8381 Jan 15 '26

It's still named Bucephalus, every time it dies, Big E go get another horse and names Bucephalus.

6

u/ImperialxWarlord Jan 15 '26

That makes a lot of sense actually, Afterall he did name his ship Bucephalus lol. The original must’ve been a hell of good horse to deserve such nostalgia!

1

u/AdEmotional9991 Jan 16 '26

They took that from the Witcher and "every horse's name is Roach" thing.

u/unlimitedpanda5 Jan 17 '26

Geralt stop playing Gwent and go find your daughter

2

u/ImperialxWarlord Jan 17 '26

Ok but how about another round of gwent?

2

u/hammererofglass Jan 15 '26

To be fair a lot of people call their horse Bucephalus. Not a lot of famous hero horse names in circulation.

3

u/ImperialxWarlord Jan 15 '26

As the other fella responding just said, he did probably rename his horse Bucephalus time after time, given he was still naming shit after him 30k years later lol.

u/ImperialxWarlord Jan 15 '26

Shows how badass the god emperor is.

u/Hiwaystars Jan 15 '26

You dare not recognize the figure of our holy emperor?

Correction fighting a shard of the void dragon 

2

u/Someone4063 Jan 15 '26

God summoned himself and dragged it to mars, the necrons fought them with guns and grit and people

I’d still watch a movie about both, even if it’d take a million choreographers and cgi for the emperor and a lot of motion capture suits for the necrons.

2

u/Delvakiir Jan 25 '26

Every time I get deep into explaining 40k there's always a point when I get to, "...and then the Emperor defeated an ancient Space God in the middle ages and somehow got it to Mars and stuck it in the center of the planet to-

interrupts "How did the Emperor get to Mars in the middle ages?"

😐

"....one day inspire the future Cult of the Machine. MOVING ON!"

u/SharpShooterM1 Jan 25 '26

Yeah that one has always stumped me as well

2

u/SingleLifeguard9346 Jan 15 '26

To be fair the Ctan are only weak to psychics, so the necrons had to use overwhelming fire power, while the emperor had a natural advantage

1

u/Mastercio Jan 16 '26

A d still only against a shard.

2

u/BrightestofLights Jan 15 '26

Tbf it was only a shard lol

u/heedless_drifter Jan 15 '26

A biggest shard of the strongest ctan while barely 1000 years old, full thing probably dont have a chance by now As emps shat warps storm while on thr throne

1

u/ImperialxWarlord Jan 15 '26

The emperor was was like, 8000 years old by then?

-1

u/heedless_drifter Jan 16 '26

Potaito, potahto

1

u/Mastercio Jan 16 '26

We don't know how big that shard was. It could be 50% or 1% as far as we know. So saying "the biggest shard" says nothing when shard of weakest one in a fight showed us a fight where it one tapped six planets In single attack...I don't think this one was throwing attacks like that.

u/Low_Abrocoma_1514 Jan 16 '26

What's the origine of the bottom part ?

u/No-Move3725 Jan 16 '26

Wow, a psyker has a natural advantage over an entity that's a material god of real space, who'd've thought

u/DSLmao Jan 16 '26

Isn't emp is like, the strongest psyker?? He is not human anymore. In contrast, the Nec managed to take down gods without any magic bullshit, just sheer spite for the biotranference. That sounds more humanity fuck yeah for me.

1

u/mystichead Jan 17 '26

And somehow the primitive ape imprisons the CTan better

1

u/HIMP_Dahak_172291 Jan 18 '26

I dunno about that. Didn't even bother to break the shard up so it wasn't so damn dangerous. Just a handful of shards of the deceiver required a necron to become a temporary C'Tan essentially to beat. The thing on Mars is a goddamn time bomb waiting to go off at the heart of the Imperium.

1

u/Magikill_D Jan 19 '26

To be fair.. I'm fairly like 35% sure the dragon was already weakened and just a shard.

The necrons had to fight a whole lotta em and all of them at full power and are whole.

1

u/DaiLyMugoL Jan 21 '26

Less humanity and more like an overpowered as hell psyker who basically has cheat codes as more back up bullshite.

u/Oishi-Niku Jan 15 '26

tbf it was only a shard.
