What are your ideas for GW to solve this? Whats the best loophole you can think of?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2756096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2756096.page GMT Void Dragon Mechanicum (and I may be misremembering), it's stated/implied that:

Spoiler:

- The Emperor fought the Void Dragon, won, and put it on Mars.
- He did this so the humans who were/would be there would become tech-reverent and create lots of useful stuff.
- In the past, the Emperor created the prophecy of the Omnissiah's arrival, just so he could later arrive on Mars and forge an alliance with the Mechanicum (and so make use of their resources)
- So, the Emperor is the Omnissiah, although the Void Dragon is the real machine god.

It is also probably why the Mechanicus are becoming much more mechanical in nature and why they seek union with machines. This is something only the most senior Mechanicus suspect. Perhaps they will, one day, resemble the Necrons if left unchecked.

The Emperor may have used the Void Dragon to stimulate mankinds technological advancement and so it's no suprise that Mars is and always has been the seat of technical expertise.

I know I read this stuff somewhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2757800.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2757800.page GMT Void Dragon http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2757834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2757834.page GMT Re:Void Dragon http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2760678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2760678.page GMT Re:Void Dragon http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2760980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2760980.page GMT Void Dragon ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2761706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2761706.page GMT Re:Void Dragon
thermatic wrote:the void dragon cant escape because of a psychic feild or something that was put up to keep him in. Plus all his necrodermis shells have been destroyed so really he can't take form ever again, only have influence over a select few.


The C'tan have near infinite number of shells to enbody, i'm sure.

In the Deceiver's entry in the Cron codex, it states he desires to unite all of the remaining C'tan, for only united can they feast on all life in the current universe.

IMO, The Deceiver has already tried to awake the Void Dragon, this was the Necron ship landings on Mars, which resulted in failure of course due to the fragile task force.

If they advance the fluff, GW will either screw up the importance of the Void Dragon, or destroy the Imperium as we all know it. The latter, will never happen, so to be safe, I hope they just leave it, and do something to slightly advance the plot, like the Void Dragon finds a way to influence his personal Necrons from his stasis and prepares for his next ascension. That way we can at least have him directly included in the new fluff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2770041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2770041.page GMT Re:Void Dragon

I like this idea. I've always been a fan of Necrons, and I would love to see the storyline of the Dragon advance (or at least the Outsider).

However, here's probably the more probable path of the Void Dragon fluff. Either:

A) Games Workshop drops the fluff entirely because they will think it's too much work for a xenos army. Instead, they'll just write a new codex for Space Marines or Imperial Guard.

B) They leave the fluff where it is at because they get too scared or lazy to add to it (or they do try, everybody gets ticked off and hates it THEN Games Workshop gives up on it). Plus, they cannot really advance the Void Dragon fluff in the current year because then an armaggeddon scenario will take place and we all know that just can't happen (sadface....)

or C) Ward gets a hold of the fluff. Then we will have Chaos Necrons, C'Tan popping up all over the place like they were Necron Warriors waking up, friendly Scarabs made into pets for Orks to replace Grots, and Blood Angels becoming closer friends with the Necrons to the point that they become Necrons themselves.

Gentlemen, the Void Dragon as we know it will be no more once the new Necron codex comes out. He will either be gone, dead, or completely ed up.

And just to let you all know....... I'm not being serious about this. Please do not come after me, set me on fire, or shoot me with gauss flayers. I've already been shot by one. It's not a pleasany feeling. It kinda hurts...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2770295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2770295.page GMT Re:Void Dragon
Plus if you look at almost every major conflict in the 40k universe the deceiver is behind it and if you think about it he would only use other C'tan that could be controlled and not go on a killing spree, That is how come you dont see the deciver trying to save the outsider, void dragon or the numerious other C'tan that exist because they cant be controlled by the deceiver. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2770358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2770358.page GMT Re:Void Dragon

That's what I'm most worried about, Ward's fluff isn't bad, but its not good either.

thermatic wrote:If you guys read Mechanicumit explains how the Dragon was traped on mars and how his shells were all but destroyed and traped on mars, It gives major fluff on him and mars its self.


I would buy the book now, if I didn't have enough books to get around to reading already. I'll have to pick it up later in the year.

Directly from the Necron Codex's Deceiver entry:

"The Deceiver has spent millenia abroad in the galaxy gathering followers and intefering and attempts to disturb its brethren. The messenger has living followers once more among the ranks of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and with them has gathered many pariahs to become its new slaves. It has even succeeded in locating the potent Talismen of Vaul, the great weapons forged by the Eldar before the Fall to destroy the C'tan if they rose again.

Through subtle machinations, the Deceiver has destroyed most of these awesome devices and placed the remainder beyond the reach of the Farseers for all time. The war that was provoked to achieve this ravaged an entire sector in a fashion unseen since the War in Heaven. That such limitless suffering has been caused is as nothing to the Deceiver; it would have destroyed the Gothic sector a thousand times over to achieve its goals. In recent times the Deceiver has reluctantly concluded that it needs the other star-gods if they are to reassert their rule once more. The legacy of the Old Ones is gnawing at the very fabric of reality, and their old slave races need to be brought to heel."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2771361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2771361.page GMT Void Dragon http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2790931.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366233/2790931.page GMT Re:Void Dragon
