Get Ready for More Necron Shenanigans in the Warhammer Universe!
Aliens in Warhammer 40K: The Unexpected Sequels
So, picture this: you’ve got the universe of Warhammer 40K, known for its over-the-top battles and heroes that are literally just walking tanks. But while most stories zoom in on humans and space marines, we’ve been missing out on the chaotic flavor of the galaxy’s alien life forms for a while. Thankfully, the good folks at Games Workshop are finally giving shout-outs to the many weird and wonderful aliens out there.
If you’ve only dipped your toe in the orky waters, I’ve got just the recommendation for you: check out Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh. Or if you’re feeling a bit piratey, Voidscarred lets you ride the high seas with aeldari pirates! But if you want to experience the crème de la crème of 40K literature, look no further than The Infinite and the Divine by Robert Rath.
The Wild World of Necrons and their Hilarious Feuds
Now, let’s dive into the bizarre love story that’s not a love story at all—more like a hilarious feud between two ancient necrons: Orikan the Diviner and Trazyn the Infinite. These guys were once living, breathing beings, but after their upgrade to robot immortality, let’s just say they’ve lost a few screws. Their squabble? It all kicks off over an ancient artifact, and it spirals into a rivalry that takes them everywhere from battling Exodite armies to bizarre small claims court cases! Who knew reanimating old robots could lead to such petty drama?
What sets this book apart? If you can picture necrons bickering with the vibrancy of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’, then you’ve got the right idea! The humor is on point, with the absurdity of their ongoing quibbles making the epic universe feel oddly relatable. It’s all about how these cranky clankers turn their little arguments into universal disasters.
Now, the latest buzz is that this delightful saga is getting a sequel! That’s right—Orikan and Trazyn are back in action in a new adventure titled The Wicked and the Warped. Hold onto your butts, because in this tale, our two bickering buddies must team up to figure out what on holy Terra happened to a lost expedition on a super sketchy planet twisted by Chaos. Because hey, when life gives you Chaos, just roll with it and find a buddy to argue with!
Currently, we don’t have a release date, but while we wait for this epic reunion, The Infinite and the Divine is being reprinted in hardback! Definitely snag a copy if you haven’t yet. And if you prefer the sound of someone reading it to you—because we all know how hard it is to actually read these days—there’s an audiobook narrated by Richard Reed that’s getting rave reviews.
So gear up, grab some snacks, and prepare for a comedic ride through the Warhammer universe with two ancient robots who just can’t stop bickering! The galaxy is about to get interesting again!
