I thought Storm Troopers, now called Tempestus Scions, coming from the Schola Progenium was a relatively modern thing, perhaps brought in with the Scions replacing the Storm Troopers in...I want to say 6th edition?
I also thought the Kasrkin style of Storm Troopers came in 4th edition or later, but having just looked them up in this codex, the picture next to their entry is that of the Kasrkin. The guys I own in berets must've been 2nd edition boys! Despite being very static, 2-piece monopose they still hold up rather well.

I had a choice between 3rd edition Imperial Guard or Space Marine codexes and listener Tom favoured the Astra Militarum. It's a wise choice; after the otherworldly and Lovecraftian weirdness of the Necrons this most human and relatable of factions will make the perfect counterpoint.
If anyone knows who the fictions within this codex were specifically written by, please let me know so I can credit the correct author.
The last codex stories were selected in an order to fit in around my work - sometimes I just didn't have time to record, proof, edit and master a 20 minute episode. In hindsight though, a story emerged through all the pieces from Codex Necrons 3rd edition, and I'm going to go back and put them in the right order when I have time.
It's with that in mind I'm going to create and release all the stories from Codex Imperial Guard 3rd edition, should the same happen again. And if not, at least it will be like reading through the whole book in order.

Happily, it all comes back around. My first Oldex adaptation was a Graham McNeill story, which felt appropriate given the help he gave me in attributing the authors to the correct stories. Its for the same reason it feels fitting that this last story from Codex Necrons 3rd ed. is one of his as well.
Thank you for listening to this first...phase? Season? of Oldex. Maybe I should just call it the first Codex?
If you've enjoy listened to Codex Necrons 3rd edition in audio format, I'd really appreciate it if you would leave a review on iTunes to spread the word.
Many thanks to Graham McNeill writing this story I grew up with and for his help with identifying which authors go with which codex stories.

Did they pick this storyline up elsewhere? A schism in the Adeptus Mechanicus caused by a necron worshipping sect?
A great piece in 3rd. ed. Codex Necrons, both in terms of presentation and the possibilities it opens. You don't get many characters in these stories as the fiction is so short, so it's nice to be able to do three separate characters in one piece.
There's part where the interrogating Ad Mech cyborg says "is" twice in a row. I think it's a typo, but I've included it and played it off as the character having a momentary glitch.
Thank you to Andy Chambers for writing the fiction I grew up with.

One of the things I love about necrons is how they take inspiration from great Earth mysteries, thus suggesting that they were responsible for them millenia ago.
In this piece by Phil Kelly he links the necrons to the Orion correlation theory of the real pyramid complex of Giza, as well as those pyramids near perfect alignment with the cardinel compass points.

This is a genuinely scary story that really plays up the Lovecraftian inspiration of the necrons.
I wanted to do something quite cartoonish and OTT with this one, but I actually think it turned out sounding really good. Voice acting lesson: go cartoonish and OTT more often.
