That's why I'm kind of hoping/expecting Guilliman interacts with Szarekh going forward which leads to some kind of treaty to destroy Chaos/Tyranids. Necrons have a universal interest in keeping humans alive, as Trazyn and Orikan believe the existence of man is the only means to reverse the bio-transference process.

You do know that the Silent King is in an ongoing war with Imperium in the Pariah Nexus? Neither side would dare stoop so low as to parley with each other.
 
If GW tries to portait Imperium of Man as the bad guys they are not doing a good job. I remember looking at the setting as an outsider and coming to conclusion that the defenders of humanity are the good faction. Hell show anyone your armies and ask who are the the good guys. I am 99% sure everyone will choose the space marines.

Everybody is at war with everybody. Also, Szarekh is somewhat unique in his warfighting in that he shows respect, honor, and mercy. If Szarekh were to defeat Guilliman in a 1v1, he would be less likely to kill him than offer him a deal if he puts up a good fight. At the end of the day, humans aren't even a big concern for Necrons. Their big picture plans have more to do with Orks and Eldar than man.

I'm hardly a lore expert, but I have read most of the Necron books and they're probably closer to the role of anti-hero than anyone else in the galaxy, and they have shown a willingness to help the emperor when their goals overlap.

In my personal head canon Trazyn spends his free time gallivanting across the galaxy saving the day just because nobody expects some Catachan Devils (the beasts, not the soldiers) to show up out of nowhere on a desert world. Yes, a good quarter of that IG regiment was brutally slaughtered after their release, but that's better than losing the whole thing to the foe they were facing. Hell, he's the kind of guy who would stop a Chaos plot in the heart of the Imperial palace that threatened to wipe out all of mankind by dropping in a Catachan Barking Toad and killing everyone, and then announce his presence and boast about how he beat the Imperium at their own preferred problem solving technique of killing everyone and everything present.

What's the Imperium going to do about it, admit anything resembling the truth? Na, they'd just cover the whole thing up, say there was a plot of no real consequence, that wing of the palace is completely uninhabitable because of a completely unrelated plasma leak, and that nobody should look into things further.

They really don't, it's just every now and then some retards screech about fascism and GW makes a half-assed statement of "oh uh actually the Imperium is bad too or whatever" and then they go right back to jerking off to Space Marines being the bestest and coolest 5ever.

Wouldn't Chaos or Tyranids taking over the galaxy just mean that Necrons ultimately win? The factions capable to mitigating Necron expansion are all susceptible to being wiped out by factions the Necrons are more or less immune to. The 13th Black Crusade was almost stopped and Cadia saved by the efforts of 1 Necron. If the war fleet of the Nihilakh dynasty showed up, the eye of terror would be closed and Abaddon would be dead. Cadia would still exist, though probably purged of all Imperium presence.

That's why I'm kind of hoping/expecting Guilliman interacts with Szarekh going forward which leads to some kind of treaty to destroy Chaos/Tyranids.

Didn't the death guard/Mortarion make a poison that can kill crons an edition or two ago? also any treaty between the Necron and Imperium ends the second Cawl learns about the mars dragon and starts poking at it.

Ferric blight. It's a synthetic disease that attacks any and all machinery. It was also used against an Imperial Knight but instead of killing it, it changed its name and joined Nurgle. I can't find any specifics on the affects it had on Necrons, but it does seem to be the first and maybe only instance of warp magic having any affect on them. The entirety of the lore seems to be sourced from a single paragraph in DG's 8th edition codex.

I might put money on Vashtorr being able to fuck with them in the future assuming GW does something with him, plus if they do form an alliance that could be a good excuse to bring back necron pariahs.

Did you play the beta and find things? The only thing I found was maybe the psyker having a thing with the cybernetic radio officer, and the literal criminal squadmate being able to be romanced by another woman. And being able to ask the Space Wolf if a female can be a space marine, which gets you laughed at. Did you find something in the beta I missed? GW is holding a tight leash since DoW1. Rogue Trader had to change one of the rewards (a changed banner) because GW objected. The banner had the number 1st on it. That's it.

I'm also not sure how they can add much woke to Space Marine 2. Its story doesn't feature much characters unless it is radically changed from the first game. Its literally "Go there, kill x" .
Guardsmen with rainbow coloured hair? In the first one they didn't even bother to add a single Techpriest and it was set on a fucking Forge World.

And this is why I treat faggots who cry about "dem trannies in mah games" just much of a joke as faggots who cry about gate keeping
 
My friend wants out of Kingdom Death and has pretty much everything except the gambler shit.

500 bucks. Yes or no? I don't need it, but I want it and that price... I can come up with 500 bucks. But convince me anyway. Or dissuade me.

searching "kingdom death" landed me here

It wouldn't be the first time. See the Gehenna Campaign, and the Word of the Silent King short story.

My Arkan Confederates finally found their Steamblood Zouaves, all I gotta do is slice off the Soviet imagery on the star.
 
So I guess Rogue Trader is out? Arch was streaming it and it apparently isn't shit.

The tourists are mad that it's complex, and the reviews have been in the 50-75% range citing slow, methodical, turn based combat.

... You know, like some kind of RPG?

Owlcat can't write interesting characters or balance encounters so I'd be surprised if it wasn't total shit.
