'''Necron Lords''' used to be actual lords, back when the [[Necron]]s were still fleshy and called Necrontyr. Presently, each Lord rules over a single [[Tomb World]] and all of its legions and phalanxes, assisted by a court of lesser nobles, and is himself a part of an [[Necron Overlord|Overlord]]'s Royal Court (along with the Lords of neighboring Tomb Worlds and a few [[Cryptek]]s as well). Because they were nobles, they were given higher-quality bodies and their minds were left quite intact by the biotransference, and so they are free-willed individuals, with names and personalities. That said, the millennia in stasis have done strange things to their minds, to say the least.

The Necron Lord used to be the only customizable HQ choice available to the Necrons (the non-customizable HQ choices being the [[Deceiver]] and the [[Nightbringer]]), but was otherwise devoid of character (to the point that, in [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade]], the "voice" of the Necrons was a [[Blank|Pariah]]). With the infusion of character brought by the Fifth Edition Codex, Lords are now individuals in their own right (with names and everything), but with the new layers of rulers above them, they are not available on their own anymore; instead, you get up to five of them as a "Royal Court" for each [[Necron Overlord|Overlord]] in your army, and can parcel them out to lead a squad of [[Necron Warrior|Warriors]], [[Necron Immortal|Immortals]], [[Deathmark]]s, or [[Lychguard]], rather like a Sergeant or Wolf Guard.

The 7e updated codex brought them back as a HQ choice in their own right, though.

== Destroyer Lords ==
[[File:Destroyer_Lord.jpg|300px|left|thumb|What's worse then a normal Necron Lord? One that is both apeshit crazy and is a jetpack infantry.]]
Some Lords go crazy after the sixty-million-year-long sleep, and get a bad case of sour grapes for being stuck in a machine for so long. They decide that they never really liked being alive anyway, and that everyone should join them in death as well. To that end, they modify their bodies to have a hoverboard base and an enhanced internal structure, much like the regular [[Necron Destroyer|Destroyers]].

Destroyer Lords are more machine-like than standard Necron Lords and are said to be the most maniacal of their kind, lacking any ability to empathize with other creatures due to their cold, calculating nature. Even mighty [[Necron Overlord|Necron Overlords]] find Destroyer Lords somewhat disconcerting, believing they have too willingly [[Techpriest|embraced the machine]] and may turn on their own kind when the galaxy is rid of organic life. As a result, many are outcasts and pariahs in Necron society.

In combat, it is said that the physical might of a Necron Destroyer Lord equals the mightiest Overlords. Whilst a Destroyer Lord dwarfs even that in terms of madness and all-out savagery, which would explain why other Necron leaders shun them. Most favor warscythes and voidblades.

Destroyer Lords serve no Overlord or [[Phaeron]] (and are a stand-alone HQ choice), because the less-crazy nobles are worried that the Destroyer Lords will turn on their fellow Necrons once all organic life is wiped out, and because they're afraid that Destroyer-ness may be contagious.

Ninth edition reveals that there are multiple variants of Destroyers, and the guys with hoverboards for legs that we've known and loved/hated for several editions are a variant called Lokhust. This ediotion also adds the Skorpekh Lord, who is simply a Destroyer Lord of the new [[Skorpekh Destroyer|Skorpekh]] variant.

When the Necrons were first introduced in Second Edition, the Necron Lord miniature was a [[Assholetep|scowling skele-bot with a goofy headdress]] (not that the other Necron miniatures were less silly). The miniature was later updated to be sleeker and have more options, though the old design was kept around as the "Classic Necron Lord" and updated to [[Finecast]] when the new [[Codex]] came out. It is now no longer available.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

Before Games Workshop started making a model for him, the popular idea was to simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

Before Games Workshop started making a model for him, the popular idea was to simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

If you want to play him in an army, simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

If you want to play him in an army, simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

If you want to play him in an army, simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

If you want to play him in an army, simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

If you want to play him in an army, simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

If you want to play him in an army, simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]).

Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

==Introduction==
'''Mag'ladroth''', more commonly called '''The Void Dragon''' (or more controversially as the [[Omnissiah]]) is one of the main C'tan along with [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]] and [[Aza'Gorod|the Nightbringer]]. He is the most powerful C'tan, and <s>is most likely one of the only C'tan to have evaded capture by the Necrons</s> has been sharded and enslaved like the rest of his fellow C'tan. The Void Dragon's "divine" portfolio includes [[Nova Cannon|destruction]], [[Necron|mastery]] [[Titan|over]] [[Ordinatus|machines]], and [[STC|technology]]. During the [[War in Heaven]] his warriors were by far the strongest and they could electrocute fools like the [[Heresy|other Emperor]] from Star Wars. He made several gadgets to help shut down [[Old Ones|assholes]] who made [[Eldar|use]] of the [[Warp]]. The [[Necron Pylon|pylons]] formerly keeping the Eye of Terror in check are the most notable and also the [[Dakka|shootiest]].

It's hard to overstate how insanely powerful Mag'ladroth is. He survived a brawl with multiple [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], of all things. Y'know, the ones who can cause suns to explode. A weak, small shard of the Dragon kicked the absolute shit out of several Necron worlds when they tried to snatch it up. To put how terrifying this bastard is into [[Awesome|perspective]]: [[Mephet'ran|the Deceiver]], who was unafraid of talking to psychos like the Nightbringer and the Outsider and convincing them that cannibalism was a spiffy idea, actively avoid this ballin' Dragon. Fortunately he is not all-powerful. The Void Dragon, like all C'tan, is (more) vulnerable to the power of the warp, which is perhaps why the Empra was able to kick his ass. With the Master of Mankind mostly dead though, the Void Dragon is probably the most powerful being in the setting other than the gods of Chaos. This guy is [[Exterminatus|not to be fucked with]].

He's also confirmed to be the new focal C'tan in the upcoming 9th edition, having had a preview of a C'tan model with wings and a tail....which isn't at all dragony, of course. (He is!) This might be bad news for the Imperium given the implication he is connected to/is the Omnissiah.

Either the Void Dragon sides with humanity due to our technological prowess and valiant war against Chaos convincing it that we’re it’s best bet for power and victory, or we’ll have to fight a war to determine who the true Omnissiah is and probably end up with the Eldar being “slightly” shocked we’ve had a pet C’tan this whole time.

Knowing 40k, the event will end with the Astronomican literally eating the Void Dragon and being absorbed by the Emperor.

==Identity==

[[File:Void Dragon by Blabyloo.jpeg|300px|thumb|A fine thing to worship if you like chopping off your dangly bits and replacing them with cyberdongs.]]
The Void Dragon, [[Omnissiah]], and Dragon of Mars are most likely all the same creature. It helps to compare what we know ''for sure'' -
The Void Dragon has some kind of supernatural(?) power over machines, and his location is unknown.
The Dragon of Mars was roughed up by the Emperor before the [[Age of Strife]] and sealed inside Mars.
The Omnissiah is worshipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus as the god of machines.
Worship creates gods, yet somehow the widely venerated machine god does not seem to exist in the warp.
C'tan think the warp is just the [[FAIL|worst]] thing ever.

So, common traits -
Most importantly, Voidy and the Omnissiah are both ancient demigods who control machines.
Voidy and the Dragon of Mars are both extremely dangerous "dragons".
Dragon of Mars and Omnissiah are both on/in/of Mars.

And what other people think -
Some of the Mechanicus believe that their cult actually worships the Void Dragon, and treat the Necrons as heralds.
The Necrons think something very, very important is inside of Mars, as they suicidally charged straight into Mars.
Some CSMs think something deadly and destructive is inside of Mars.
[[Just as Planned|You think]] that all three entities are the same.
Also, the mentioned entity could be a Warp-based reflection set in motion by the Emperor, the C'Tan are unable to exist in the Warp, but the myth of Omnissiah and the subtle manipulation of machines by the Void Dragon have created a Warp-God of sorts, kept alive by all the rituals and faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus and many other people who believe in Machine Spirits and such.

If we were to Venn diagram all these facts together, we wouldn't have much in the center for all three entities, but enough exist in the other intersections that any other explanation seems unlikely. With all of these hints piled up, it has become pretty clear that "those guys" are actually just one guy.

The Man of Iron from the Blackstone Fortress adventures claims to have met the Omnissiah, that the Emperor is not the Omnissiah, and that the true Omnissiah would be disgusted by the Mechanicus. The Necron Lord in the Mechanicus game was disgusted by the fusion of machine and flesh that the Tech-Priests are. Perhaps this implies a connection and that the Void Dragon might not approve of their form of worship.

==That's Awkward==

This has profound and also profoundly weird implications that get weirder the longer you examine them. The first is that the Adeptus Mechanicus are [[Heresy|heretics]] of the highest level, who worship an actual xenos demigod. The second and perhaps even worse possibility is that [[Machine Spirits]] are the working of the Dragon, suggesting that he is a big part of what even allows Imperium technology to work. Or, perhaps if he's having a [[RAGE|bad day]], to [[Troll|''not'' work]].

So if the Dragon woke up and decided to lay the crackdown on the Imperium, the best case is that the Imperium would lose a bunch of the guys who make and repair their tech along with control of Mars. The worst case scenario is that all of their complicated machinery would start attacking them Men of Iron 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Strangely, this means that the most powerful user of physical forces and the most powerful user of [[Psyker|psychic]] forces are imprisoned almost right next to each other. This also means that the Corpse Emperor's fancy life support machine is a stone's throw away from a being who could probably turn it off with a thought, except that presumably the Emperor is psychically protecting it. This might not be as [[Grimdark]] as it first appears - while the Dragon might just be super pissed and waiting for an opportunity to press the eject button on the golden throne, in the long run the Dragon has more to gain from [[Noblebright|''protecting'']] the Emperor. [[Ecclesiarchy|As we know]], the Emperor is holding back the forces of Chaos, and the C'tan [[RAGE|despise]] Chaos above all else. So grab some popcorn and [[Alpha Legion|sneak]] into the Imperial Palace to see if some ''seriously'' weird cooperation takes place.

It is also likely that the only reason Big.E's golden toilet continues to function is because good old VD has realised the fact that Emps currently functions as a cork for an infant eye of terror and as such has deemed it a bad idea to try offing him because the consequences of such an action would most likely result in him getting [[Rape|buttfucked]] by the forces of Chaos.

But the sad truth is that the VD is making sure the Golden Throne flushes only to prevent Sigmar shit from overflowing into 40k...

Speaking of Sigmar this relationship seems an awful lot like a Grimdark one of Sigmar and his dragon friend. Perhaps it wasn’t the Mechanicum the Emperor went to Mars to recruit...and he did visit the Void Dragon while there. The Emperor knows how to use belief and ritual to create Warp entities and could probably tie that to the Void Dragon, protecting it and giving it access to the Warp in exchange for fealty.

==Babysitter==

[[File:VoidDragon.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A face you can trust around children.]]
On a more [[derp|derpy]] note, [[Black Library|for some reason]] it can talk to human children, like Gamera, and sometimes involuntarily gives them power to heal and manipulate machinery. Soooo... the Void Dragon might secretly be in fact be the guardian of children all along? Just picture a cosmic being from beyond conventional science having a soft spot for kids would generate much [[lulz]] and [[/b/|pedophile]] jokes on /tg/. Or maybe, just maybe, humanity earned his favor with the Dark Age of Technology and the Machine Cult. Considering his powers. Which would be wonderfully hilarious. Even the Laughing God would be amazed at such a cosmic joke.

Do YOU get it?

Of course you don't, you're not a Tech-Priest. Fucking fleshbag.

== On the Tabletop ==

If you want to play him in an army, simply buy a Balrog or a Morghast or a Daemon Prince (make sure to give the latter wings), paint it suitably black, silver and green, and use it as a Transcendent C'tan ([[That Guy|or use the official model]]). Have fun. Also, since you're controlling the pseudo-god of controlling machines, that also gives you the right to install a trojan on your opponent's phone so you can send [[Slaanesh|exciting]] photos to his mom during the game.
