yeah he'll never awaken in the game. Should they make warhammer 60,000, the coming of chaos (have some fluff ideas coming here) then yes, maybe he would. but he would be like 3000 points or whatnot.

it is pretty risky having such a being on mars!?! as you said 'just a stone throw away from terra' and he has the ability to control machinary hwo far away!?! nearby and in temrs of the galaxy? probably could control the emproers golden thrown if he awakens, which could be interesting!!!

And because of this we have to assume the Void Dragon is still to weak to awaken, or maybe kept in the hybernative state by the Ademptus Mechanicus. To think otherwise would have much to great influence on the fluff.

*ahem*
The theory that the Outsider is in control of the Hive Mind is disgustingly common, it's like fanboys with their silly console rumours. Someone makes a stupid postulation, someone agrees with him and it's suddenly gospel. The fact that the Tyranid Hive Fleet has come from a separate galaxy, whilst The Outsider has been rumoured to only have ventured as far as the outer arms of the galxy starts to shake the foundations. That the Tyranid fleets then made a very big point out of avoiding Necron-inhabited Tomb Worlds. Why not just feed the Tyranids into one of their bio-constructs, and use them as one giant thermoelectric power plant a la Matrix? Use the energy to ressurect countless Necron Warriors, which have been established as being far more powerful than a bunch of insectile dinosaurs.

On that matter, to what ends could the Outsider use the Tyranids? They're just chomping up all the perfectly good slaves. The Hive Mind has no essence, it's a giant manifestation of raw evoloutionary instinct. There's no emotion for the C'tan to feed on. The only purpose they'd serve is as the organic power station I mentioned, and if the Outsider had control of them, they'd be already doing that!

I would like to emphasise that the article in reference is a wiki. For all we know, Vathrok could have gone in and edited it to suit his own philosophy, just like I deleted the 'Hive Mind' theory from the Wikipedia, and replaced it with information (with references, I should add) that disproved such an idea. Something tells me this 'Lexicanum' is less regulated, and a Wiki-war would break out in short order if I did likewise there. This post was harsh and has flame overtones, but I don't take kindly to people gloating with a less-than-reliable info source as their backup.

EDIT: Burnart, you've got your sources mixed up a wee bit. The Eldar were going to blow up a free-flying world that they thought was the Celexus temple. When they farseered the event, just about every path lead to the death of Alaitoc (dammit, why did they have to think before acting?!?). So they call off the attack, and the Farseer wonders momentarily if it's a Necron tomb world, seeing as they also possess psyker-killers, and their own worlds are usually psychically blank. I would believe it's feasible that The Outsider is on this world, there's a myth that the fourth C'tan will travel to the edge of the galaxy before returning to harvest again, and that's exactly what this free-flying world was doing, it'd been arced back towards the galactic cory by a near-miss with a gravitational vortex. So it makes sense to me if this is the Outsider's tomb-world.

because the outsider is just that, the outsider. He was cast out, and the necrons do not worship him. The star gods are divided. the Necrons worship 2 star gods, the nightbringer, and deciever. No more.

The machine god (void dragon) isn't necessarily evil. It could be working with adeptus mech (they worship him anyhow). So I would say he is against the necrons.

It is dude. I made a point of hilighting the /wiki/ in the URL path.

The Outsider is only named that by the Eldar, he had a different name in the Necrontyr tongue, except anyone associated with him is now too insane to remember. Both the Outsider and the Void Dragon have their own armies of Necrons, who are still in stasis. It's quite possible those Necron vessles that landed on Mars were an attempted rescue. If they'd been there to destroy the Void Dragon they would have opened fire from orbit.

I follow the Deceiver mainly because he is the only one of the two awake that actually interacts somewhat decently with the mortal world. The Nightbringer just slices and dices, but the subtle machinations of the Deceiver make him much more appealing to me. gasthrower.gif
