Hollis-Leick’s comments during an X/Twitter Q&A teased the potential for further exploration of the Necron Tomb World seen inSpace Marine 2. When asked directly whether the Tomb World would be explored further, Hollis-Leick coyly refused to provide clear details, saying that such information could spoil things.
If I told you, it could spoil things. The 40k universe is massive and that tomb world shows people ancient and complex the galaxy is. That races have come and gone before humans even existed is such a great theme. There’s a lot of potential for great stories!
The Silent King, Szarekh, is a pivotal figure in the Necron lore, and his influence extends far beyond the tomb world glimpsed inSpace Marine 2. As the last ruler of the Necrontyr empire, Szarekh is responsible for transforming his people into immortal Necrons through biotransference.
