The lasgun is actually a great gun….in our world. It’s a gun that never jams, doesn’t suffer from bullet drop, is very durable, and able to shoot fist sized holes in normal people.
And, just to put Guard armour into perspective, the standard issue "flak" armour is quite capable of resisting lasfire (at least, from standard lasguns/pistols. Hellguns and lascannons are a bit much for it). That's like having body armour capable of stopping something like a 50 cal or 20mm. In 40k? Basically tissue paper.
The humble Las gun is actually quite staggeringly powerful It is light, made of little to no moving parts. Requires minimum maintenance. A single power pack which is the size of a small magazine can produce between 200-300 shots. Every power pack is rechargeable from multiple sources like kinetic energy of walking around to solar energy and even tossing it into a campfire can work in a pinch. It is pinpoint accurate up to 500m It has little to no knock back It hits with the force of a 50 cal and can have a fire rate that would embarras modern attack rifles. It weighs almost nothing and costs almost nothing to produce. It's effective on 99% of the galaxy...unfortunately they are facing the last 1%
Waiting for nux to go tru most of the best parts of 40k will took a millennia cuz of the volume of content this universe have, at least check the Last Church next 💀
Among the Guard, the phrase "found wanting" is a euphamism for being executed by a Commissar. "Oh Bill? Yeah, he was FOUND WANTING on the front lines yesterday."
But in regiments from Krieg and Catachan, it is noted that *Commissars* are often found wanting instead of some poor Guardsmen who needed to tie his boots up and proper. Though, this is mostly due to the fact that Kriegsman outperform Commissars, and the Jungle Troopers *really* don't like being told what to do.
Nux, servitors do many cool things... One modern world example is that automatic doors are to AI in 40k... So the is a servitor who monitors the door and opens and shuts it. Imagine, if you will, that the Walmart greeters have been lobotomized, butchered, and now their head sits above the entrance door to let you in and out of Walmart. Truly, an improvement. Lol
Uh, no. There's land raiders that go rogue and start killing combatants and the the machine spirit in Titans Somtimes does it's own thing. In 40k you can have Complex and even thinking machines. The Machiens however cannot be SAPIENT. If it's Sapient then it becomes Abominable Intelligence.
@@PhthaloGreenskin lmao. I love your "uh, no ". Especially for someone who apparently didn't read what he was typing as he typed it. Just using the examples you give, there is lore arguing whether or not Machine Spirits may or may not be rudimentary AI, or in the case of the Titans, possibly straight up gestalt psychic residue combined with the rudimentary AI . Secondly, to both of your examples, the vast majority of humanity in fact is scared shitless by the concept of Machine Spirits. Hence why when even their toaster acts up, they literally take the damned thing to a priest to have him ask the toaster what would make it happy so it will work properly again...

29:01 and yet Nux it is the guard that holds the line, the guard that vanquishes the imperiums foes, if all astartes vanished the imperium would stand, if all guardsman vanish the imperium falls in less than a day
Nux, you have to understand - the overwhelming majority of the planets in the Imperium just... live. They send in their tithes and call it a day. Each one can have widely varying levels of technologies and governance, just providing they follow some form of the Imperial Cult and pay taxes.
Exactly. There are planets like Cadia that have 70% of it's population at arms (or did back when there WAS a cadia) and hive cities like Necromunda but the bulk of planets are "Civilized worlds" where things are left to their own devices without any sort of goal in mind. Many of these live a life that we in the 3rd millenium would recognise as "normal" These planets are pretty good but generally are undefended and easily lost. An agri-world produces food and just produces food. It's important. A forge world makes machines. That's important. A hive world makes machines but also lots and lots of cannon fodder. That's important. But you average civilized world would be forgotten. Many don't even really pay tithes except if the imperium comes to collect it. People would live and die in ignorance, thinking their every day world is the same across the Imperium. Maybe you don't even believe in Chaos as a threat. Surely The Emperor wouldn't allow such a thing. And then the news says that communications with the rest of mankind has been cut off. That's weird. Then the sky is blotted out by insect-like creatures as your planet is the next dinner for the Tyranids. Or maybe someone discovers a weird-looking old metal bunker and touches some glowy green panel and now there are ancient egyptian skeleton robots. Or maybe some Dark Eldar thought it would be fun to ruin such an innocent world.
26:01 the commisats have to "uphold morale" and are outside the normal military chain of comman, comptent ones do not shoot you for no reason, but there are a lot of triggerhappy ones, and though those die quickly, their replacement might not be any better
As a normal human, you are born into your job until you are carried off to become corpse starch. You wake up, pray, work for 8 hrs, pray, then have a 10min lunch, work for another 4 hrs, pray, if you're lucky you'll have dinner, pray, then sleep, and wake up to do it all over again until your body gives out or you die in a very common work place accident. It is the Emperors will
Zeetch got Humbled abd Flabbergasted when a mere little girl with a teddy solved his labyrinth with Ease. And he was "wtf" for the first time, with no answer. The Little girl being Godlike mysterious. And if you think I'm capping, i read over about 37 books Right now.
Every time i hear of this i get reminded that there is a theory it was just a prank from the other Chaosgods. If that is the Case, it would be hilarious.
@@jakobmikota1543 nah, chaos god (the 3) can't pull off something like this to Zeetch. I believe it was Outer Beings that lived in deep warp/outer warp.
The Death Korps of Krieg needs it's own lore dive. The Astra Militarum is as diverse as the Space Marines, maybe moreso, as the billions of nameless Imperial Guardsmen are conscripted from a myriad of homeworlds, each fostering it's own peculiarities. Among these homeworlds, there are a few worthy of note, and Krieg might arguably be on top of that list. Luetin09 has a very good breakdown, though it runs at 1 1/2 hours. For something more manageable that hits on the main points, Scholar's Lore has a good 30 minute vid that does a decent job.
let me blow your mind Nuxanor. one of the best quote of warhammer 40K is "in the far futur, there is only war, and the echo of laugh of thirsting god." the thristing god, it's not the chaos god. It's us, the players.
Love the Lore of Warhammer 40K and your Videos!. I would recommend videos about some legendary Charakters, like Barabas Dantioch "The Hero of the Imperium" or Sigismund "The Strongest Space Marine" .
Love how I joined the stream perfectly un time to get a laugh from Nux with the Geneva suggestions line, made the whole stream even better to be a part of xD.
Nux, if you want a horror audio story about the imperial Bureaucracy “Watcher in the Rain” is about an administration world about to swallow by a warp storm. It is actually a good listen
Nux: Whait, it takes centuries to archive the form you filled out? Philip Fry, in line at the Central Bureaucracy: Man, how long is this going to take? Old Man in front of him: I'm still waiting on my birth certificate.
54:45 I think Murder and Killing should be separate from each other, as killing is either an accident or animalistic in motive, i.e. in self-defense like prey killing a predator, and murder is making a plan to kill or take lives, or non-spontaneous killing.
Quess what when the cadia blown up like 5 million refuges were avacuated to a Forge world, that same Forge world didn't had the capabolity to sustain them, So Guess who ajs like 4.4 million new servitors!
Nux needs to listen to weshammer's grim dark story time series it perfectly shows just how bad it is in the imperium and is filled with little details for analyzing
Love you reacting to different parts of this franchise! It's always nice to get a video of yours, it's a nice distraction from this insane summer heat. Plus, your reaction to all the whacky lores is so funny! 🎉
Fun fact: The use of anaesthesia of any kind during servitor conversion surgery (which is carried out by the Mechanicus) is viewed as a waste of resources. You are usually awake and conscious for everything up until the point where they finally lobotomize you. The lobotomy doesn't always stick, either. Some servitors will still have fragments of sentience left and will be aware of everything happening around them but unable to have any control over themselves.
One warhammer related video that came out recently that noone has reacted to yet and i think would be awesome for you to watch, is about the orks vs the kroot, its called when supreme lifeforms collide by beghast. Its a very informative video on the kroot, who very few people talk about, plus some cool stuff about the orks.
They do pick their sick up, but only when a 5-story-sized carnivorous bug isn't charging at them. The thing is, there are soooooo many times where they would lose more people by saving the wounded. And as said in the video, the imperium is fully utilitarist.
About Administratum, it's said that because of it's 10,000 year long history almost every law possible was passed at some point making effectively everything legal, but also everything illegal. In theory at least, so because of this you have entire departaments of people going through endless statutes to find one to incrimnate someone for example. This part is more from Arbites lore, but you can imagine the same is true for bureaucracy where you insurmountable number of different forms and procedures, most of which are now completely unnecessary, but still in use because nobody remebered to pull them out.
Leutin is an amazing loremaster. One of my favorite fan moments in warhammer was listening to Brickeys podcast. Someone had mentioned imperial blast doors and how long it would take to breech. Bricky sent up the leutin symbol, and a few moments later, leutin chimed in and started listing off all the materials they are made from.
37:50 there are many jobs for a psyker or someone with psyker abilities. You can train to be an inquisitor like Eisenhorn. If you’re found early enough and are strong enough in psychic power, you can train to be a spacemarine Librarian or if luckier a Grey Knight. The common imperial guard also have their own psykers. Most commonly Astropaths. These Astropaths are essentially the messengers that of the army, they will send psychic messages through the warp for them to interpreted by other Astropaths. Or perhaps being a planetary Astropaths is also required to allow for communications with near by systems or incoming and outgoing ships. Need to bear in mind that not all psykers are equal in power or abilities. There are Alpha+ (higher tier) psykers that can’t be trained and will have to be fed to the throne, but there are also omnicron (lower tier) psykers that can use their subtle abilities to become a very successful officer or inquisitor of the imperium.
I don't know why, I seen all these warhammer videos, but rewatching them with this excitement added to it is somehow resparking my own old excitement i had for the franchise. Blessed be the emperor.
Whats funny about the guardsmen is that they have irl printed a handbook that they give to them and it pretty much describes every xeno spieces is basically made of glass bones and paper skin and are timid. Yes even the Tyranids and Orcs, so they are going into battlefields expecting to dog walk the fight. Unfortunately they are not the ones holding the leash
there is an old Warhammer fan animation/speech called "Pity the guardsman" on a channel called Kharos that you should react to. it realy sums up how miserable being a guardsman is, but also how important to the imperium they are.
Roboute Guilliman REALLY screwed everyone over with his second founding crap, didn't he? Maybe if the Legions still existed and made to enforce the Imperial Truth rather than allowing the creations of the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition, perhaps this Imperium wouldn't be barely holding together with glue and tape all this time and actually allowed to expand and flourish with more content people.
Someone doesn't understand the warp the imperial truth died when the emperor ascended the throne they need religion it's literally the only guard you really have against warp corruption although it's current for his definitely although it's current form definitely holds the imperium back
@@sambob8019 Then humanity was never worthy of the Emperor nor his truth and never will be if he and his ideals have been reduced to nothing more than a crutch for the greedy and the corrupt to exploit.
The thing about Imperial bureaucracy is that some menial scribes jobs are utterly vital to the survival of entire sectors, others used to be but the exact supply line or whatever their work is connected to was replaced centuries or millennia ago, and no one realised there's still an office doing the paperwork for it. And there's no way to know, for the average scribe, which camp their work falls into.
There´s many peculiar things in 40k worth a lore dive. Some are Eldritch Horror, others are Badassery in it´s purest form. I recommend: The Halo Stars Most Dangerous Planets the Carcharodons/Space Sharks And the Legion of the Damned The first three have only shorter videos, the ones i know are from Majorkill The last one is From Luetin, once again. At 1 hour 15 minutes. The man goes DEEP, what can i say.
57:57 I just imagine that along side all that other shit they’re also just playing the guitar solo from Freebird on a loop. To just add that little bit of war fog to the training.
I thoroughly enjoy the incredulity over Luetin describing these terrible things in his classic deadpan... Luetin is here to provide the lore, not get emotional about it
Think of the Eversor as follows: Yes they are HEAVILY psychologically and mentally conditioned, but not Clockwork Orange style. They have extremely hightened aggression, but they can focus it on their intended target. Imagine these assassins like a completely overclocked PC. Their bodies, minds and nervoussystem operate on ludicrous speeds, even compared to a Space Marine. After these former "humans" are completely converted to Eversors, they HAVE to be cryoed, because their bodies would stop functioning after just some weeks, to I think 2 or 3 months at the really hard maximum. So they are dropped as near as possible to their target, get their target(s) mentally imprinted on the drop and take the fastest and bloodiest way imaginable to their target and after completion (and hopefully surviving) take the fastest way to their cryo, to be frozen again. Think of it as, the shorter the time, they are unfrozen, the more uses you get out of one of those assassins. An Eversor is one of the most bloody and loud messages you can get, if the Imperium is definitely not pleased with your existense. They definitely don't actively kill friendly troops (normally included in their mental imprint) but they will definitely go literally through you if you are in their path or would slow them down in any way. I one time read a short "report" of an Eversor who used up all his weapons on reaching the target and then making a complete bloodbath of the targets family and all household by using theis silverware like spoons and stuff. Even if 40k is massively bonkers, most things - fondly enough - make at least "some" sense. The Eversor is - at the end of the day - an assassin, and assassins need to be intelligent etc. And a psycopath will never be an efficient assassin. :)
The Vox in the Void channel has an amazing audio called "Abomination" that illustrates the horror of servitor creation. Bonus: Their Eversor audio called "Carnage" is god-tier.
For more administrative horror, listen to a reading of The Watcher in the Rain. It's a top notch spooky story aside from the 40k lore, but it's also possibly the best short story in all of 40k
There´s a great line in Darktide, where the servitor says:"I can feel pieces of my mind slipping away, Please Help!" That is what happens when the Mechanicus get a little too complacent with their work. Imagine being trapped in a Machine Body, not in control of most of what you do, for decades, and then you feel the consciousness you DO have degrading. That´s some dark shit.
“That piece of technology is worth more than a guardsman!?”

Recently, they did an episode about the worst fates of 40k, that isn't the Demonicolaba (don't look it up). They did do an episode on that, on Halloween, and its their 69th episode. Fate is real.
Yes, Nux must suffer the knowledge of the demonicolaba as we have. Weshammer made the best video on it imo though
Adeptis ridiculous is another good one
29:01 and yet Nux it is the guard that holds the line, the guard that vanquishes the imperiums foes, if all astartes vanished the imperium would stand, if all guardsman vanish the imperium falls in less than a day
I can seriously see Nux being a guest on Adeptus Ridiculous.
That would be the best thing to ever happen
@AlbinSchough Seriously. "Never in my life have I needed something so badly and never known it until I heard it." Am I right?
DK: Hey! Someone who knows less than me!
@@Myomer104 That's exactly what I was thinking too.
Nah, soy podcast.
Nux, you have to understand - the overwhelming majority of the planets in the Imperium just... live. They send in their tithes and call it a day. Each one can have widely varying levels of technologies and governance, just providing they follow some form of the Imperial Cult and pay taxes.
Exactly. There are planets like Cadia that have 70% of it's population at arms (or did back when there WAS a cadia) and hive cities like Necromunda but the bulk of planets are "Civilized worlds" where things are left to their own devices without any sort of goal in mind. Many of these live a life that we in the 3rd millenium would recognise as "normal" These planets are pretty good but generally are undefended and easily lost. An agri-world produces food and just produces food. It's important. A forge world makes machines. That's important. A hive world makes machines but also lots and lots of cannon fodder. That's important. But you average civilized world would be forgotten. Many don't even really pay tithes except if the imperium comes to collect it. People would live and die in ignorance, thinking their every day world is the same across the Imperium. Maybe you don't even believe in Chaos as a threat. Surely The Emperor wouldn't allow such a thing. And then the news says that communications with the rest of mankind has been cut off. That's weird. Then the sky is blotted out by insect-like creatures as your planet is the next dinner for the Tyranids.
Or maybe someone discovers a weird-looking old metal bunker and touches some glowy green panel and now there are ancient egyptian skeleton robots. Or maybe some Dark Eldar thought it would be fun to ruin such an innocent world.
26:01 the commisats have to "uphold morale" and are outside the normal military chain of comman, comptent ones do not shoot you for no reason, but there are a lot of triggerhappy ones, and though those die quickly, their replacement might not be any better
09:50 "for the betterment of man" I mean yeah, the High Lords of Terra might be SAYING that
As a normal human, you are born into your job until you are carried off to become corpse starch. You wake up, pray, work for 8 hrs, pray, then have a 10min lunch, work for another 4 hrs, pray, if you're lucky you'll have dinner, pray, then sleep, and wake up to do it all over again until your body gives out or you die in a very common work place accident. It is the Emperors will
I can assure you its not.
Then there's Guilliman, who does paperwork for 22 hours, cries due to the state of the Imperium, eats at his desk and then cries himself to sleep
@@macewindu3492 Hey! I resemble that remark.
@@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium is it inaccurate?
@macewindu3492 I neither confirm nor do I deny it
A quote from nux:
"Yesterday's loss, today's sauce"
Not me getting warhammer mobile game ads now. Thanks nux
Nux should look up "Daemonculaba".
I need to see his reaction.
For one of the few rare wholesome and happy endings in 40k, go through the lore of Tuska Daemon-Killa.
Nux when he is done with 40K and then finds out that there is also Warhammer Fantasy lore
I cannot wait to see his reaction to the skaven
And then Age of Sigmar
Holy shit I never expected you to reacty to Leutin09. Lets Go!
Nux you must watch video about Death Korps of Krieg. I recommend Arch video about them as it gives history, overview of units and how mental they are.
Nux need a deep dive into ORKs
He will defect and join the Ork's
I you’re a psyker and you try to use your powers while the tyranids are around you might go mad or die by “explosive cranial haemorrhage”
Dude he NEEDS to see Luetins Space Marine Creation video and his origin of the emperor video
Zeetch got Humbled abd Flabbergasted when a mere little girl with a teddy solved his labyrinth with Ease. And he was "wtf" for the first time, with no answer.
The Little girl being Godlike mysterious.
And if you think I'm capping, i read over about 37 books Right now.
Every time i hear of this i get reminded that there is a theory it was just a prank from the other Chaosgods.
If that is the Case, it would be hilarious.
@@jakobmikota1543 nah, chaos god (the 3) can't pull off something like this to Zeetch. I believe it was Outer Beings that lived in deep warp/outer warp.
The Death Korps of Krieg needs it's own lore dive.
The Astra Militarum is as diverse as the Space Marines, maybe moreso, as the billions of nameless Imperial Guardsmen are conscripted from a myriad of homeworlds, each fostering it's own peculiarities. Among these homeworlds, there are a few worthy of note, and Krieg might arguably be on top of that list.
Luetin09 has a very good breakdown, though it runs at 1 1/2 hours. For something more manageable that hits on the main points, Scholar's Lore has a good 30 minute vid that does a decent job.
let me blow your mind Nuxanor. one of the best quote of warhammer 40K is "in the far futur, there is only war, and the echo of laugh of thirsting god."
the thristing god, it's not the chaos god. It's us, the players.
Nux entire video: "This can't possibly get any worse. Right?"
...
You gotta do Luten’s 1st tyrannic war video . One of my favorites
It's a great video
Imperial "We have more bodies than you have bullets!" Guard.
In the story, the watcher in the rain an Administratum clerk intentionally starved a planet to feel some semblance of power and control.
I think this is the earliest I’ve ever been for a video.
Same! It’s an oddly satisfying feeling lol
Love the Lore of Warhammer 40K and your Videos!. I would recommend videos about some legendary Charakters, like Barabas Dantioch "The Hero of the Imperium" or Sigismund "The Strongest Space Marine" .
One day, I would love to see Nux learn about the Death Korp of Krieg.
Love how I joined the stream perfectly un time to get a laugh from Nux with the Geneva suggestions line, made the whole stream even better to be a part of xD.
Nux, if you want a horror audio story about the imperial Bureaucracy “Watcher in the Rain” is about an administration world about to swallow by a warp storm. It is actually a good listen
Nux: Whait, it takes centuries to archive the form you filled out?
Philip Fry, in line at the Central Bureaucracy: Man, how long is this going to take?
Old Man in front of him: I'm still waiting on my birth certificate.
There's a planet that's basically Jurassic Park.
It didn't go very well.
you need to do the other parts to, because i think you will like it even more since this is only the start of the worst jobs
26:30 C-c-ciaphas Cain hero of the emporium
"Abomination" by A Vox in the Darkness is a definite must for those grimdark vibes
Vox in the Darkness is massively underrated
54:45 I think Murder and Killing should be separate from each other, as killing is either an accident or animalistic in motive, i.e. in self-defense like prey killing a predator, and murder is making a plan to kill or take lives, or non-spontaneous killing.
There's an amazing history about the administorum call "wacher in the rain"
Quess what when the cadia blown up like 5 million refuges were avacuated to a Forge world, that same Forge world didn't had the capabolity to sustain them, So Guess who ajs like 4.4 million new servitors!
Nux you should 100% react to Weshammer reading short stories from the Black Library. “The Watcher in the Rain” is a great starting point.
Nux, you must watch the histories of Sanguinius and gulliman, trust me, you will love it. It will surely rebuild your faith in the imperium.
Nux needs to listen to weshammer's grim dark story time series it perfectly shows just how bad it is in the imperium and is filled with little details for analyzing
Love you reacting to different parts of this franchise! It's always nice to get a video of yours, it's a nice distraction from this insane summer heat.
Plus, your reaction to all the whacky lores is so funny! 🎉
Works from dawn to dusk, on a planet with 3 suns
Fun fact, Money in Dutch is "Geld"
Enemies of the Emperium have a lower chance of winning if they run out of ammunition shoting guardsmen.
Fun fact: The use of anaesthesia of any kind during servitor conversion surgery (which is carried out by the Mechanicus) is viewed as a waste of resources. You are usually awake and conscious for everything up until the point where they finally lobotomize you.
The lobotomy doesn't always stick, either. Some servitors will still have fragments of sentience left and will be aware of everything happening around them but unable to have any control over themselves.
I just can't wait for Nux to find out about the Daemonculaba
One warhammer related video that came out recently that noone has reacted to yet and i think would be awesome for you to watch, is about the orks vs the kroot, its called when supreme lifeforms collide by beghast. Its a very informative video on the kroot, who very few people talk about, plus some cool stuff about the orks.
They do pick their sick up, but only when a 5-story-sized carnivorous bug isn't charging at them. The thing is, there are soooooo many times where they would lose more people by saving the wounded. And as said in the video, the imperium is fully utilitarist.
About Administratum, it's said that because of it's 10,000 year long history almost every law possible was passed at some point making effectively everything legal, but also everything illegal. In theory at least, so because of this you have entire departaments of people going through endless statutes to find one to incrimnate someone for example. This part is more from Arbites lore, but you can imagine the same is true for bureaucracy where you insurmountable number of different forms and procedures, most of which are now completely unnecessary, but still in use because nobody remebered to pull them out.
Leutin is an amazing loremaster. One of my favorite fan moments in warhammer was listening to Brickeys podcast. Someone had mentioned imperial blast doors and how long it would take to breech. Bricky sent up the leutin symbol, and a few moments later, leutin chimed in and started listing off all the materials they are made from.
Another unit for nux to look up is krieg death korps
Yess I was hoping you would get to this one!
37:50 there are many jobs for a psyker or someone with psyker abilities. You can train to be an inquisitor like Eisenhorn. If you’re found early enough and are strong enough in psychic power, you can train to be a spacemarine Librarian or if luckier a Grey Knight.
The common imperial guard also have their own psykers. Most commonly Astropaths. These Astropaths are essentially the messengers that of the army, they will send psychic messages through the warp for them to interpreted by other Astropaths. Or perhaps being a planetary Astropaths is also required to allow for communications with near by systems or incoming and outgoing ships.
Need to bear in mind that not all psykers are equal in power or abilities. There are Alpha+ (higher tier) psykers that can’t be trained and will have to be fed to the throne, but there are also omnicron (lower tier) psykers that can use their subtle abilities to become a very successful officer or inquisitor of the imperium.
6:32 maby you should look up balthazar gelt from warhammer fantasy the wizard that can turn people into gold as his famous spell he's known for
I don't know why, I seen all these warhammer videos, but rewatching them with this excitement added to it is somehow resparking my own old excitement i had for the franchise. Blessed be the emperor.
Whats funny about the guardsmen is that they have irl printed a handbook that they give to them and it pretty much describes every xeno spieces is basically made of glass bones and paper skin and are timid. Yes even the Tyranids and Orcs, so they are going into battlefields expecting to dog walk the fight. Unfortunately they are not the ones holding the leash
there is an old Warhammer fan animation/speech called "Pity the guardsman" on a channel called Kharos that you should react to. it realy sums up how miserable being a guardsman is, but also how important to the imperium they are.
Roboute Guilliman REALLY screwed everyone over with his second founding crap, didn't he? Maybe if the Legions still existed and made to enforce the Imperial Truth rather than allowing the creations of the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition, perhaps this Imperium wouldn't be barely holding together with glue and tape all this time and actually allowed to expand and flourish with more content people.
Someone doesn't understand the warp the imperial truth died when the emperor ascended the throne they need religion it's literally the only guard you really have against warp corruption although it's current for his definitely although it's current form definitely holds the imperium back
@@sambob8019 Then humanity was never worthy of the Emperor nor his truth and never will be if he and his ideals have been reduced to nothing more than a crutch for the greedy and the corrupt to exploit.
Gelt is also a Celtic word for mental illness, traumatized or cursed.
Again, i ask for lord Nux to react to the Lion son of the Forest video to see the return of the Lion in the 40k universe.
I am once again asking for your Lion, Son of the Forest
i love your warhammer vids the most frfr there is just so much to cover too
YES! I can't wait for Nux to explore luetin09's emporer of man origin. Specifically, his thoughts about the church of the lightning stone.
The thing about Imperial bureaucracy is that some menial scribes jobs are utterly vital to the survival of entire sectors, others used to be but the exact supply line or whatever their work is connected to was replaced centuries or millennia ago, and no one realised there's still an office doing the paperwork for it. And there's no way to know, for the average scribe, which camp their work falls into.
52:16 please keep going, that's an amazing perspective compared to those lowly uncultured ones with their silly morals and values!
Cant wait for the 3 hours The Last Church reaction and the 10 hours Helsreach reaction 💀
There´s many peculiar things in 40k worth a lore dive. Some are Eldritch Horror, others are Badassery in it´s purest form.
I recommend:
The Halo Stars
Most Dangerous Planets
the Carcharodons/Space Sharks
And the Legion of the Damned
The first three have only shorter videos, the ones i know are from Majorkill
The last one is From Luetin, once again. At 1 hour 15 minutes.
The man goes DEEP, what can i say.
57:57 I just imagine that along side all that other shit they’re also just playing the guitar solo from Freebird on a loop. To just add that little bit of war fog to the training.
The scariest shit is an old man in a job where everyone dies young , fear the elite guardsman
52:13 Dang, Nux. You come up that on the spot? That was dark but probably within the scope of 40k.
4:32
Ooh, sweet 21st century child...
I dare to dream that one day Nux will be a guest on Adeptus Ridiculous in between Tacticus streams.
YES MOREEEEE. THANKS nux
I thoroughly enjoy the incredulity over Luetin describing these terrible things in his classic deadpan... Luetin is here to provide the lore, not get emotional about it
Oh boy oh boy oh boy… Luetin makes the best 40k videos, if you like movie-length content.
I recommend his Orks video in particular
Think of the Eversor as follows:
Yes they are HEAVILY psychologically and mentally conditioned, but not Clockwork Orange style.
They have extremely hightened aggression, but they can focus it on their intended target.
Imagine these assassins like a completely overclocked PC. Their bodies, minds and nervoussystem operate on ludicrous speeds, even compared to a Space Marine. After these former "humans" are completely converted to Eversors, they HAVE to be cryoed, because their bodies would stop functioning after just some weeks, to I think 2 or 3 months at the really hard maximum.
So they are dropped as near as possible to their target, get their target(s) mentally imprinted on the drop and take the fastest and bloodiest way imaginable to their target and after completion (and hopefully surviving) take the fastest way to their cryo, to be frozen again. Think of it as, the shorter the time, they are unfrozen, the more uses you get out of one of those assassins.
An Eversor is one of the most bloody and loud messages you can get, if the Imperium is definitely not pleased with your existense. They definitely don't actively kill friendly troops (normally included in their mental imprint) but they will definitely go literally through you if you are in their path or would slow them down in any way.
I one time read a short "report" of an Eversor who used up all his weapons on reaching the target and then making a complete bloodbath of the targets family and all household by using theis silverware like spoons and stuff.
Even if 40k is massively bonkers, most things - fondly enough - make at least "some" sense.
The Eversor is - at the end of the day - an assassin, and assassins need to be intelligent etc. And a psycopath will never be an efficient assassin. :)
The Vox in the Void channel has an amazing audio called "Abomination" that illustrates the horror of servitor creation.
Bonus: Their Eversor audio called "Carnage" is god-tier.
Finally a luetin video
There’s a really sad but interesting quest in the Rogue Trader video game about a servitor. But it’s really easy to miss, though.
For more administrative horror, listen to a reading of The Watcher in the Rain. It's a top notch spooky story aside from the 40k lore, but it's also possibly the best short story in all of 40k
There´s a great line in Darktide, where the servitor says:"I can feel pieces of my mind slipping away, Please Help!"
That is what happens when the Mechanicus get a little too complacent with their work.
Imagine being trapped in a Machine Body, not in control of most of what you do, for decades, and then you feel the consciousness you DO have degrading.
That´s some dark shit.
When the medical servitor tells you to not walk away because it's been locked in the cupboard for like 10 months
Right off the bat, a harsh and righteous message to the ungrateful plebs.
