Damn waaagh energy I will never forget the story of how the orks made a tank run with nothing more then a picture of a engine that had the words vroom vroom written on it.
Michael, I have a source for the claim that the Dark Eldar are still psychers but just don't use their powers. The novel Jain Zar has a gang of Eldar including the Dark Eldar, Mainseth, going on a mission to save Ulthwe and be totally Eldar about everything. It’s a great novel, I really enjoyed it. Anyway, at one point Mainseth, the DE, has to help defend a ship from daemons by psychically linking with it (the ship). She finds it really hard and it hurts her. Another Eldar says this: “Know what you are feeling is because you have allowed your psychic abilities to atrophy, like trying to lift a dead weight with an infant’s muscles.” So there you have it: a modern source and Eldar specialist, Gav Thorpe, showing that the Eldar are not genetically different from each other, just culturally separated, and if they want they can all get together for a big Eldar party.
I can't tell you the number of times I tried to get Him to just bloody tell the Primarchs about Chaos. Some of them found out on their own and 'straight from the duplicitous mutated horse's fire-spitting mouth.' is NOT the way to learn of it. Sure, He had a point that Lorgar would fall on the spot, but I was pushing for Lorgar and his get to be added to the same pile as the Second and Eleventh since they started calling Him "God Emperor". I disagree with Him that we'd have lost Magnus in the same way. It was Magnus thinking he was exploring unknown benign sources of power that led to his fall.
More great content! Thanks. As I am now pretty much a solo war gamer (too bad I had ‘picked’a hobby like Warhammer to be in to...) due to recent events (moved ,etc.. ) listening to lore & painting/modeling is all I’ve got at the present. Channels like yours are of particular importance when keeping the interest thriving & my sanity intact! Thanks
Just like a flame; Without a lantern to contain it, the wind will overwhelm it with the slightest unfavourable gust. The trick is building yourself a good lantern. Blanks do it without thinking, but the rest of us have to think/feel/act to create one. Sorcerers bind the empyrean to a task, they are not brighter flames at first, but lure damnation in other ways. That whole 'Entreat the Daemons for powers and ritual knowledge' thing tends to get them attention without needed to be a shinier lure by default. They also often cover themselves in trinkets and other things that make them 'shiny' to the neverborn.
Hey Tau, considering your the first and probably only psyker of your species, I can help train you. Especially since demon incursions and chaos corruption is becoming stronger. Could be useful if you find yourself being attacked by a demon within the warp.
The Tau do not need Psykers, they have traitor humans who paint their faces blue and bomb Grav-trains to draw the occasional Psyker from. I can only hope the first 'Gooeh-Veysa' to let all Warp break lose on a Tau world is far away from Imperial Space. Not so far away enough that we can't point and laugh once the Astropaths let us know, however.
Some believe it was for the Golden Throne - it is commonly thought that Magnus was planned to sit on the Golden Throne instead of the Emperor. It may have also been to help normalise the idea of psykers, even if Nikaea proved that it wasn't a success
Right, but why put it up to a vote? "No, Magnus is my son and I trust him." Only in this one place did he allow others to make a choice instead of handing down a proclamation. Thanks for the reply. The amount of research is obvious, and the addition of your own opinion, are very well done. Not just reading directly from the book.
Nikaea wasn't a vote, it was the Emperor's decision and only his - I made an entire video talking about the Council in my theory playlist. And thank you, I'm glad you enjoy what we do!
I'd say as well that the Emperor's original plan (before the scattering of the Primarchs) would have been to personally train any of his sons who were psykers to not be seduced/tricked by the powers of the warp.
Helios 007 supposedly all of them are, but of all Magnus was the strongest The whole deal with Nikaea is that Magnus, Sanguinius and the Khan supported the idea of using pyskers openly in the legions while Russ, Mortarion and Curze rejected it, with Russ and Magnus coming to blows to this, which is why the Emperor had to organize the entire thing to settle it
say you were a psyker on a planet the imperium has not discovered yet, would it be a good thing? would it be worth the risk? and if so at what point dose it stop being worth it as you move up the level of power?
Hey Tactica it would be really cool if you did a series on the influences and formation of 40k as a hobby itself, Like the influence of communism and National Socialism and other parts of history that formed the ideas of the dystopian future of 40k. It's what makes the lore really work and I'd like to see the behind the scenes!
That would be a colossal undertaking, since the Imperium alone has a huge amount of cultural and social influences behind it. I won't rule it out, but it would be a long term project due to other commitments
Thanks for the quick reply really enjoy your channel! Yeah I could imagine, Thought I'd request it seeing as no one really has touched on this that I know of and it is so packed with different references. With the amount of content you produce I could see why it would be a bit much. Again really enjoy your channel and thanks for all the good videos.
I second this motion! Would be really great to see 40k grow from the eras of Rogue Trader all the way up to the current edition. Not to mention you're the best 40k lore channel as it is. ^^
Tactica Imperialis, you do a great job with the stories series, I think that would be a potential mistake. First, you are right, it would bee a massive undertaking, much larger than anything so far. Second, there are a lot of partial and debatable links with off-colour bits. The British government is no friend of free speech at the moment. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. You either couldn't tell the whole investigative truth or would be running a legal risk for WH40k lore, not worth it. I already know of people "investigated" by the cyber crimes fascists. Third, unless you have a canon source confirming inspiration sources, the effort would be sheer conjecture, opening yourself up to criticism for what may be unsubstantiatable claims. Not smart either.
I can already see the comment sections of a series like that. Oddly it's mostly people expecting a storm in the comments. (Not that there won't/aren't/were any though, threads of fate/the Universe's broken loom and all that.)
The idea that a carbon chain might hold the secret to trow lightning bolts from your hands is absurd, especialy when you consider rhe warp causes mutations, the imaterium overule the laws of the materium.

I fuckin love your work mate. No music and straight to the point

Psykers are both blessed and cursed.
So blursed
Nice one mate
Magnus only tried to help.
The road to Chaos is paved with good intentions.
Magnus with a nerd

Kinda have to wonder...If Emps was so ambiviant about psychers, why did he make Magnus and his Sons?
Some believe it was for the Golden Throne - it is commonly thought that Magnus was planned to sit on the Golden Throne instead of the Emperor. It may have also been to help normalise the idea of psykers, even if Nikaea proved that it wasn't a success

PURGIIIING WITH MY KIIIIIIN

That depends on whether you can train yourself to control your abilities. The Imperium is not the problem, it's Daemons
@@TacticaImperialis
Correct.
Actually Drukhari who join the Asuryani and stop with their Drukhari ways regain their psychic abilities as per Becorath from the path of the Warrior.
I can handle Psychos but dam Psykers are scary
I'm a psyker but I'm completely fine mate. :3
"Fear not the Psyker..." But, walk softly and carry a big gun^^
@pyro still gonna stand right here behind you with my bolt pistol, just in case :3

And now WE GO TO VALHALLA
Still waiting for that Grey Knights video Michael...
Funny you should mention that..
perils of the warp in the future, maybe ?
The idea that a carbon chain might hold the secret to trow lightning bolts from your hands is absurd, especialy when you consider rhe warp causes mutations, the imaterium overule the laws of the materium.
The dark eldar are still psychics. They just use their psyker powers to feed on souls intead of tapping into the warp. They're psychic pain vampires.
Are space marine psykers always better than regular space marines?
As warriors? No, just look at their stats on the tabletop
Oh ya on the Dark Eldar not having Psykers. I would guess they just kill them once they figure one is Psykers. That is just a guess though.
They use drugs to suppress their psychic powers
Ohhhhh, that would also make sense.
But once again Magnus did nothing wrong.
RREEEEEEEE
I disagree with the first picture, it depicts the alpha legion, as slaneeshi w****s!
I personally can't stand psykers
What do you dislike about them?
@@jbark678 it seems to fantastical in my opinion
