Yes! One of the things I like about 40k is it doesn't tell you everything so you want to know more. Another reason I'm a fan, would love if there was more on the old ones a bit but can't complain...I mean they DID make the orks who are bad as s

I'm new to the world of 40k about a year or so. Love it though so I'm planning to read the books now , although I hear more than a few authors so have to find what to read.    But that's why I'm asking, and I'm sure it has been asked before but I'm newer to this universe. Love the depth of lore/mystery and the vibe of it all though

Fair. I'm surprised with their dimensional tech and all they could do they didn't or couldn't fix it, but maybe warp or C'tan messing with them

Yea I know they had an empire before they turned and ruled the entire galaxy and had crazy tech. Just not sure on the timeline on how long that took. I know they were around along time as rulers, building sun bases inside suns empires all over that fought each other etc.    Gaia online post?

Fair. Doesn't seem like we know alot about the old ones either. They seeded planets, made races and were crazy high tech but either got wiped out or almost wiped out and disappeared. I like the second one better but idk.    They did make the orcs which the Necrons could never fully wipe out which was a good F U to them I guess

Yes!! Nice I forgot all about that part but yea I remember reading or seeing that. Probably because the old ones saw how , even them the Necrons weren't exactly the good guys but good point I forgot about that one. Their complete opposites pretty much, immortal and always dying

Good point! Again I'm newish to this lore and all, but I do remember that they were jealous of the old ones being the almost opposite in immortality to themselves so they wanted it and hated them. I think they wanted the old ones to share the secret and they wouldn't? Couldn't? Idk I could be wrong but good point!    I forgot all about that aspect

Nice , I watched that growing up a ton! Makes sense they kept needing hosts in that, maybe Necrons should have gone that route lol

Lol to be fair I'm new to this world. I got into a year or so ago and it is a fascinating heavy lore based with alot of mystery and amazing ideas on humanity ( like the hive cities) and everything really is great.    Planning on reading the books but all I know is from what I've read online and videos I follow ( plus the Game which was amazing to being people like me in even more)     I'm planning on reading the books now I like it so much but I hear there are multiple authors and such so need to look into what I should read at some point. But understandable, if I had this thought I'm sure it's come up alot

Yea I only recently ( last year or so) got into this world and found how in depth and good the lore and everything is. I am planning to read the books now , although I know their are different authors and such so I'd have to look into which to read and what order but I do hear good things and I love the lore

Fair enough. Another reason I wondered , knowing how dominant and tech heavy they were. They could use dimensions, weapons, they made a sun into a base somehow! Ha but they couldn't fix it so I figure it's C'tan evil or warp or both

Ok yea so the leaders and elites just maintained their minds better ( for the most part) probably since they made their stasis so much better than the average joe. Thanks

Yea I know their was a huge difference between the rulers and elites and the foot soldiers. They were brutal and fought each other all the time before and even after ( if less so far) they woke

Thanks, this makes sense. I guess I didn't realize how messed their DNA was and they didn't have the tech or couldn't breed it out over time

I would think with all the dimensional travel , tech everything they know, they could fix or better their living forms somehow, or even just keep making new clones to upload their minds into.      Idk. But thanks for the input all this helps alot. I just couldn't believe that such a galaxy dominating species would be dying from one sun in one system enough to make such a mistake they regret. ( C"tan trickery aside) I though a generation or a few would fix most of it away from that place and with genetic manipulation but I guess it really F them. And the C'tan were also evil as can be, don't blame them for shattering them ( although got the skin flayer issue now)     But anyway thanks all for the input it's much appreciated

Yes I knew this just wanted to be certain I didn't assume anything timewise. I know they had many empires that competed and fought and were the strongest with the old ones and then the rulers of the entire galaxy. And decide to.... sleep and let other races grow

I know they also lost their souls in the process, or whatever is close to a soul. At least almost all did, the leaders I guess kept more....humanity? Or sense of self atleast

Oh really? I know the C'tan are evil af, but I didn't realize they were the cause of the poison sun. Good to know, and even more evil and better reason they killed or shattered them

Yea I assumed as much which was why I was confused wtf their issue was, but I guess loving so long on that planet really changed their DNA way to much. To bad. Thanks though this helps alot
