        Trayzyn the infinite. He basically runs around stealing shit that he deems of historic value. Sometimes that means entire squads of Marines or other faction’s forces frozen in time.

        Edit: I am dumb and thought you were asking “what is this”. Leaving this comment up for anyone who doesn’t get the joke though.

          I’ve been meaning to reply sooner, but I kept your comment up so I could get back to you

          You did mostly answer my question! I looked him up and was delighted by what I read. My first wh40k army was the necrons. I have their symbol hanging from my rear view mirror, even! It’s been there in my cars for the last 20ish years? I have the first necron codex

          [Insert image of codex here] I can’t find it atm, or else I’d share

          But I haven’t been active in a very long time and I was blown away by the changes to the units when I looked them up a few weeks ago

          Ultimately I was wondering what the artwork was from but I was still glad to learn about some new lore

          They somewhat did ask for a source, I’m sure your answer answered their question, at least

      I learned about it last week; it’s delightful. A close friend is half Czech, so I often end up sharing with her cool stuff I learn about Czechia, and this was one of them.

      Something that’s been cool about this is that before I knew of her Czech heritage, I knew very little about Czechia. I’ve realised that whenever I stumbled across cool facts about the place or people, my brain didn’t have anything concrete to attach it to, so it’d just end up in a nebulous blob of Eastern European-ness, and would more readily be forgotten. A lot of what I’ve learned over the last year or so has mostly been because if I stumble across something cool, like this dam, then my brain now goes “ooh, this is cool, I should tell my friend about this”. She acts like a sort of semantic anchor in my mind, and that’s really cool
