"It's like space hulk but dark angles are better than blood angels."

Dark angles are the best angles. Much better than blood angels.

Had some mispellin there bro ftfy.
'COS THEY'RE THE MOST EDGY!!!!!

Which is dumb, because the Pariahs are even better for the Newcrons plots than the Oldcrons, what with some of them wanting to bodysnatch a mortal species.

No they aren't, because pariahs need the Warp to do the things that they do and Necrons are partly defined by their inability to do anything with the Warp.

That's like saying inanimate objects can't exist because they don't have a warp signature. The Necrons aren't unable to do anything with the Warp, they're just dead to it since being turned into robots.

They did kind of fight and win the greatest war ever against the most powerful warp species out there, ya'know.

[Grim Portent]

Minor nitpick, inanimate objects do have a warp signature. If they didn't things like Astropaths wouldn't be able to see and Mutilators wouldn't be able to become a thing.

Mutilators and obliterators are daemon, and daemons can infect machines.

Also do Pariahs "use" the warp? I thought they were just mega-nulls.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Depends on what you think of as "using". Pariahs naturally becalm the warp. The void where normal humans have a soul is so strong it "evens out" warp energy around it, like a deep pit appearing in the bottom of a lake. This makes normal people feel freaked out and attacked for no clear reason, makes psykers bleed out the eyes, and badly weakens daemonic manifestation.

[Rolepgeek]

Reason seems pretty clear.

You need a soul to form emotional/social connections with people in 40k. Humans are very social creatures, and having one's soul completely unable to make contact makes them the most disturbing of outsiders, regardless of whether they would otherwise be part of your tribe.

Then

Pariahs need the Warp to do the things that they do and Necrons are partly defined by their inability to do anything with the Warp.

Makes no sense?

Necrons are anathema to the warp, therefore they have pariahs to combat it.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Andres' interpretation of the Necrons is just wrong. Pariahs do the exact same thing as Necron Pylons, except they're also humans.

[nenjin]

Kot and Andreas are both right. The Emperor was formed from something (dunno if the Shaman thing was retconned or not.) But needed more stronk, possibly to create the Primarchs, and bargained with the Chaos Gods for power, convincing them he'd be his champion. But he altered the deal.

[Tack]

Not true can't hear you.
No Gods No Masters Only Science <- Rapture Emprah True Canon.

[Andres]

Andres' interpretation of the Necrons is just wrong. Pariahs do the exact same thing as Necron Pylons, except they're also humans.

Not according to Inquisitor Vail of the Ordo Xenos.

But needed more stronk, possibly to create the Primarchs, and bargained with the Chaos Gods for power, convincing them he'd be his champion. But he altered the deal.

This makes no sense. The Emperor was on their same level and wouldn't have required any more power for the Primarchs' creation. He needed a buttload of time, ancient technological secrets, and the assistance of thousands of Terran scientists (this was before they were completely replaced by Martian Magi) to parse through his essence to actually work it, he didn't need more power. More power - especially given by the Chaos Gods - would've just made it more difficult to make the Primarchs

[sprinkled chariot]

For ten thousand years he battles thenspeakable horrors with his sheer willpower and aid of ten thousands of glorious golden demigods in golden power armour.
He gifted to the universe legions of noble  warriors to abolish superstition with power of reason and SCIENCE and stop the horrific enemy from byond.
He personally  kicked the ass of most powerful ctan to give mankind superior technology.

Meanwhile some ignorant puny blue men unable to appreciate, what he is doing, think, that he is just superstition, and they have any meaning in the grand scheme of things.
