Once at work, our office servers stopped working. For almost a full ten minutes there was talk how we gonna lose a ton of progress for today, if it wont be fixed till noon. The IT guy fixed it the next half an hour, and told us it works cuz the Machine Spirit wants it to work. He literally did nothing to it, but waited, we stared at the server bank with him, and it came back to life. The collective faith in the Omnissiah saved our work day.
It really do be like that sometimes, my fav was when my computer had some weird issues and then a friend who knows IT comes in and the PC just goes "Guess I'll obey now" and just 'fixes itself' just because of their presence.
Like as an electrical engineer, I unironically believe in the Ohmnessiah. Some machines just won't work unless you usher them alone, some will work when they really shouldn't, Like I built my own computer when I was 10 and just kept upgrading it over the last decade, I'm somewhat convinced my PC is now sentient. And if it isn't, I'm certain it has a machine spirit, I've had it encounter issues with seemingly no fix, once had an issue where it took 3 days to try and diagnose the issue as it had somehow deleted the desktop, and thes best way I could describe it. Only for on the 3rd day for it to randomly turn on while I was on a tea break and decide to suddenly let me hard reset itself, something it had been resisting for at least a day by then. It's like it came to terms with being reset and embraced reincarnation. I mean, in the modern day, physically how it's setup, it shouldn't work, It's a frankenstein of a build, old and new parts combined to squeeze every bit of power I can. But have of the boot sequence is stored on the non boot drive, there are filed named identically, in the same location that lead to different folders, something that is hard coded to be impossible on windows. TLDR, trained professional willing to confirm the existence of machine spirits.
Funny you mention the similarities to God and Lucifer. You will learn very quickly that Warhammer has taken inspiration from EVERYTHING. From history to religion to mythology to sci fi to fantasy. It's a melting pot of inspirations and has become it's own thing as a result.
@@phantombigboss8429 Starcraft was supposed to be a warhammer game but Games workshop pulled out of the deal, so blizzard made do with what the had already worked on.
@@eom1682 I've heard this rumor about both WarCraft and StarCraft now, not sure which is true. Was WarCraft originally meant to be a Warhammer game, or was StarCraft originally meant to be a Warhammer 40,000 game?
Just found your Channel man. So Hollywood hasn't made anything because Games Workshop, the company that makes Warhammer 40k, controls the copyright and license for Warhammer 40k with an iron fist. They don't want anything to ruin their lore. Unless they do it themselves. Welcome to 40k man! Have fun!
Dude, you get it. There are major portions of the fanbase who don't even care about actually playing the tabletop at all, we're into the lore, the factions, maybe collecting and painting miniatures. And it's all fine.
Tbf many can't afford the tabletop, time or money. Like I'm a hard-core guard fan, but there is no way I'm giving GW hundreds if not thousands of euro on little plastic men. The lore is good, and a healthy dose of headcannon. Like maybe the lamenters will one day catch a break, or maybe one day GW will stop tickling the assholes of blueberry and cadian fans and give the other regiments and chapters a bit of the limelight.
@@cobbleturd6978 Yeah I only have a tertiary understanding of the lore. I really only watch tom&ben talk about it. The prices are crazy. Makes me wonder. Why not spend a couple hundred on a 3d printer on amazon. Then print and have fun.
Kaldor Draigo is basically this universes doom guy. He is stuck *in the warp* fighting demons 24/7/three hundred sixy fuckin' five, and only occasionally gets out to actually help the grey knights
You had a Space Marine 2 question about an Inquisitor sending Titus to the Deathwatch as a penance for heresy, but also the space marines suggesting that serving in the Deathwatch is a high honor. Both are true. The Deathwatch is a group made to counter Xeno threats. I mean like high up threats, the biggest threats from aliens you can imagine. The front lines of those encounters will be led by Deathwatch. The Deathwatch isnt made from a single legion though, its comprised of volunteers. They go from legion to legion asking for the best of the best to serve. The legion/chapter will have a volunteer or they will pick someone to send to serve the Deathwatch for a certain amount of time. Its honored because most of the time its a death sentence. The missions Deathwatch undergo have a high casualty ratings, even for space marines, but its by necessity. The are many dark horrors out there that are only kept at bay because of the Deathwatch. Titus did not volunteer and wasnt given the honor of joining. He didnt get to keep his Ultramarine symbol on his shoulder, and he wasnt serving for any set amount of time. His shoulder colors were painted black, and he was sent to serve as a blackshield, for life, until death to redeem himself in the eyes of the emperor. To be a blackshield is not honor, its punishment. No going home victory party. Just one suicide mission to the next. The fact that Titus survived 100 years in the Watch is crazy. He orobably saw some shit. Probably killed it too.
@soulofconflict the issue with guard lore is how fucking all over the place it is between books, codexs and editions, doesn't help that rarely are2 regiments the same. I mean it's the ultimate homebred breeding ground, except for the orks, because that's just a whole other level of nonsense. Sure remember planet of guardsmen incident, a planet with more guardsmen than there are atoms in the universe
@@cobbleturd6978 well this is because the writer don't known military term, and because of that regiments vary insanely in size from 1-2 thousand men to 100k of men. Regiments command divisions and so on. It has some scaling problems but we work around it :D
The tabletop is fairly expensive. My setup is around 500$ and I'm still just starting out. It's honestly one of the most expensive hobbies you can have so most people stick with the games and lore. Henry Cavill even joked that he got into acting just to support his Warhammer addiction lmao.
Fun fact: If the Emperor dies he would actually just get reborn into a new body, so if they were to end him now he could come back in a better condition than just a corpse throne, but not only would that leave them very vulnerable, no one wants to have the bad wrap of having killed the emperor, no amount of justification would stop them from being stapled a heretic and killed for their supposed transgression. It's so bad that they view the Emperor as more important than humanity itself, this is why the emperor never wanted to be worshipped, he even burnt down a church worshipping him because he was afraid of this outcome. How Ironic, huh?
The timeline on him coming back is especially murky. It's *possible* that humanity would be really boned for centuries or millenia, and then wind up better in the long run. Or maybe he would get really depressed and angry when he sees that everything he built has turned into the opposite of what he intended, and he would use his godlike powers to obliterate humanity. It's quite a dice roll.
Not to mention while he's regenerating there's no warp travel so entire galaxy is cut off and the web way gate would fail and the demons would flood the throne room and destroy earth.
In recent lore Cypher had the opportunity to kill the emperor so that he could revive, but he was stopped by the emperor who said not yet. There are some theories to why he doesn't want to revive yet: As William said it could take centuries and no-one is able to take his place in the meantime. It's possible he's waiting to regain the star child part of his soul to revive more efficiently. And the last, in his current state he's more powerful than he ever was when he was "human' (especially since the opening of the great rift), since he has premonitions it's possible that he has saw a threat that he wouldn't be able to face with his normal powers.
First off, welcome to the community bro. The community is very accepting of new fans wanting to take the plunge in any aspect of the hobby. It doesn't matter if it's video games or the Tabletop. Side note though, the tabletop is a commitment of its own so I would only get into it if you are ready and if you have someone willing to play the game and split a box set with you, do it. Important thing: the minis come UNASSEMBLED AND UNPAINTED. Painting is a big part of the hobby but not for everyone. As someone who paints these minis for a living I encourage people to paint their own stuff all the time but that part is a commitment in itself and I wouldn't want you to spend money on something you would get bored of. That being said, I'm always looking for new clients 😅, but I just had to let you know that before getting into it. And more importantly play something YOU like, faction power levels change every few years but if you have an army you enjoy the lore of you will never get tired of it. Once again, welcome and we are happy to receive you. FOR THE EMPEROR! 🤘🐺
to add to this cause i see this a lot, the codex astartes is fairly old lore now, cause since the indomitus crusade with Guilliman (5 ish years now ?) he basically came back and said "lol you guys still use that shit?" remember guilliman to be the reasonable, prepared guy the codex was necessary post heresy but not anymore, i don't believe gw is going the 1 million space marine cap route anymore ( 1000 chapters of 1000 marines ) once the primaris rolled out that pretty much went out the window chapter numbers swelled well past codex numbers, and many new fresh chapters were made in that founding, with no mention of the codex cap other than again guilliman basically saying "get with the times idiots"
They TECHNICALLY follow the rules. Each chapter of space marines was only allowed to have a 1000 members UNLESS they are on a crusade, then they could have as many as they want. It just so happens that the Black Templars have managed to keep on finding excuses to keep their crusade going for 10,000 years.
"Hollywood is dumb as hell, Bro" - facts There is sooo much content in 40k that's just being slept on..... Actual fresh takes on what cinematic sci-fi could look like on the big screen. It's a real shame
Can’t believe people stil believe in Hollywood 🤣🤣🤣 seriously, Hollywood should not touch the Warhammer 40k im universe because we know it’ll be a let down and then gonna make it ‘woke’ or sex change the god emperor or some shit 🥱 there’s no other way that situation plays out
@@getspun6961 yeah, we can complain about the fem Custodes, but Hollyweird would've made the throne room look like a gae bar in San Francisco, with the largest checklist in history.
@@vaevictis6990 As far as I know, she alrady had working protypes of super humans before working for the emperor, thats where thunder warriors came from, but big e took her research and added his genetic code to make the primarchs.
I'm an Ork fan because out of all the factions they are the only ones having fun. They were created by the old ones to destroy the Necron. If they don't fight they start to die.
I love how all they imagine basically becomes real (super simplification) , so pointing your fingers at them and going pew pew in a convincingly enough manner can kill them and be a literal weapon to use vs them lmao
I like the scenario he described where they were driving a truck into a battle and it ran out of fuel, so they told their Waagh boss (is that what they are called? - I’m Dark Angels so not up on the Ork lore) and he just said “no it hasn’t” and the Truck just started again 😂
@@DekkarJr A number of the Sisters, especially those of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, dye their hair in honor of the organization's founder, Alicia Dominica, whose hair turned white after a chat with the Emperor.
8:48 the reason Bricky keeps saying there are 20 Primarchs then switched to 18 is because 2 of the Primarchs and their Legions of Space Marines got wiped from existence by the Emperor and his best friend Malcador. Also they outlawed mentioning them ever.
@@tazepatates4805 In reality they're meant as placeholder for user created Legions but in the lore Malcador almost disintegrated one the Primarchs for almost mentioning them. Iirc it was Horus if not then still. It should go without saying they did something really bad.
Indeed the emperor also empowers people who show him faith at times. He also helps protect peoples minds from chaos so long as you remain faithfull. This does not mean you are immune to chaos, just more resilient in some cases. Black templars are a great example of this. They are one of the few factions that see the emperor as a god. Congrats on 1k! 🎉
since this is all based on psychic energy there are always different ways to understand them. Guilliman explained in the dark imperium series that saints and champions might be un knowingly psickers and their devotion might be a catalyst to stabilise and give their power form. Then again maybe not. The themes of warhammer are those of un explainable and lost knowledge through regression and ignorance. its rare that abstract aspects are given definitive explanation and almost always only known to us the audience as the characters never come to know
The mechanicus' working is more of a ritualistic engineering process. For eg: If you want to turn on a machine then you 1st do the "Ritual of turning on" say a prayer and then push the button. Then comes the ritual of "booting up" once the machine has botted up then you have a whole host of rituals and prayers depending on what you want the machine to do.
Tips if you decide to get into the tabletop: Rule of Cool,, pick what you think is cool and not the meta, and you will have fun. Combat Patrols, these boxes range roughly around the $100 area and are designed to be a self contained army balanced in a way you can fight any other combat patrol box and it should be even. They usually contain some infantry, a leader, and a vehicle or monster of sorts. Combat Patrol is a game mode in of itself with slightly different rules than the regular wh40k game to keep the boxes balanced. If you decide you want to pursue the hobby further you have the perfect jumping off point to build a bigger army from there. Also boxed sets give you much better value than individual units. Home Rules, When playing, if you and your friend are confused by a ruling, dont fight or argue it, find a compromise to the rule or just flip a coin. there are a LOT of rules in this game and can get very confusing to the new player.
11:11 So, the Emperor is a perpetual. In the 40k universe, these are people who cannot die. When they die, they basically just respawn. He is literally being kept at 1 hp, being unable to respawn. Unfortunately, killing him has a lot of consequences. At the moment, he is powering the Astronomicon, which is used to navigate the Warp. Should he die, all of space navigation goes with him. At the moment of the universe, the galaxy was cleaved in two, one side has the Astronomicon, the other doesn't. On the side that doesn't, all hell's breaking loose. Also, because of stuff that happened during the Horus Heresy, there is a Warp Rift in Terra that he's holding off. If he dies, Terra will become another tear in the fabric of reality. Finally, because he's been fed 1000 souls a day for a millennia, and deified, he has become a god, but he is still trapped in his mortal body. If his body was allowed to die, he would return as a new full-fledged god.
40:20 I gotchu bro. Kaldor Draygo is currently in the Warp, doesn´t know how to get out, but decided he doesn´t care about getting out either. He´s now much more interested in finding a way to burn Nurgles Garden and leave nothing but ashes.
Lady Warhammer player here and I play Adepta Sororitas!!! I started learning the lore and it just BLEW. MY. MIND how hardcore these women were. A whiff of heresy? The Sisters will put your ass down. I will fangirl for my faction to anyone who will listen :D As part of the table top Battle Honours program in stores to get part of my stuff signed off I had to talk to a staff member about why I chose them basically and I got a little teary eyed because representation. They are fiercely loyal and can go toe to toe with anyone and they aren't portrayed as somehow weaker because they are women. Also yes, The Exorcist pipe organ tank is awesome! I didn't think I would ever be playing a tabletop game but there is something so satisfying about building and painting your army and seeing your artistic skills improve with each miniature you build. It's also SUPER relaxing. I'll put on some Netflix or some music and I can paint for a whole day. Then you play a battle and you lay your army on the table and there is a definite sense of "Awwww yeah, see that? Yeah I made that." I've spent about $2000 so far but the sheer amount of hours of fun in building, painting and playing does make it really good value.
The Sisters of Battle is my fave too and I was really peeved about Female Space Marines thing for a different reason. Just gives us new powerful units from the Sisters of Battle instead - THEY'RE RIGHT THERE! I don't care if they're augmented humans, cybernetic enhanced, or smaller versions of Living Saints, just don't let them be a another generic marine!
They ARE expensive, but you buy them once and you have them. I buy a box of models for 50 bucks, spend 2 hours assembling them, rouhgly 3-6 hours PER MODEL to paint, and each game i play with them lasts 2 hours. So i buy a box for 50 bucks, 10 models, and i am guarenteed roughly 44 hours of entertainment of various types. So im out $1.13 per hour for entertainment. Their cost is front loaded, and worth it 100%
EchalonJon has the perfect name to play the table top game. Echalon gets into the table top, I'll get into the table top, as soon as I get a good enough job to support it
I'm a Salamander myself. Btw. Henry Cavill once said that Salamanders and Blood Angels are his favorite Space Marine legions/chapters. If you want to start Salamanders watch a video called Salamanders Tribute- Anvil of War and a song on YT called Forges of Nocturne by The Misfit Brigade.
39:19 they can't exactly banish demons with their presence (that's more pariahs things and you can only be born with such an ability), but their mental conditioning is enough not to go crazy or get corrupted upon contract with the warp sorcery or entities, unlike regular people, but that still doesn't mean they couldn't be corrupted at all, given enough time and exposure (e.g. they can't really go where Grey Knights usually go), but usually they win or get killed long before that. Space Marines are conditioned the similar way (since after the Horus Heresy), but one chapter in particular went an extra mile in that - Exorcists are actually forcing daemons into the innates and after some time get them banished by Inquisitor, thus getting a boosted resistance against the warp entities, which makes their chapter one of the best to fight against the daemonic incursions or in warp-infested environments (basically a Wallmart Grey Knights).
Doing part 2 would for sure help with retention. Should definitely do every space marine faction explained, that one has the most merit to understanding the people you play as and interact with. (Edit note) yes the video is also done by bricky lol.
12:38 This will be a bit of a deep dive, but yes he does do those things - to a point. See, he was put on that throne 10,000 years ago, and 1,000 souls were what was required to power him then. As his body has decayed, it has required progressively more than 1,000 souls to get the same effect. If he is fed enough he can do all sorts of goofy things.
A chaplain is a chapters equivalent to a priest. They ensure the codes and beliefs of their chapter is upheld, if not they might report it to the inquisition
You should look up chris raynor talking about space marine organs, hes a surgeon who breaks down about what makes a space marine internal system so wild
There are a few reasons why GW stuff has not made it to the big screen. Games Workshop for the longest time was adamant on having full control and merch rights over their ip, meaning collaborations were impossible, recently that has become more relaxed, BUT, studies need to studio, and want to change things to have their own stamp on stuff, and GW is firm on vetoing changing the lore drastically, which I think is a good thing. as there is not need to change an entire setting to fit a story, rather the lore is large enough to tell the story inside it
Basically, if Emps ACTUALLY died (he’s basically immortal, but) if he actually died for REAL, everyone who is NOT on terra is instantly lost. He guides all of their ships, he guides humanity through the galaxy. Everyone on Terra would feel his death, and like 5 seconds later, humanity would just be destroyed. Just by existing, his sheer power wards off all four chaos Gods, and when he dies this would be felt throughout the warp, and within moments Terra would be swarmed with everything hell has been trying to throw at it for 10,000 years
He does do more than just power the Astronomican - he also holds back demons from invading Terra, and many believe his warp essence/spirit works miracles or gives messages through tarot cards and such
Watching you experience the crazy world of 40K has been great. I think you really captured it well when you brought up reconnecting with your childhood glee and imagination.
- The "magazine" of lasgun is actually battery pack that can be recharged by itself, solar, and heat. You can literally toss the mag into a campfire and recharge it. If the death count is at 30 million in a single battle, this is normal. - If you are a Salamander, it doesn't matter if you are pastiest white guy ever , your skin will turn because of your primarch's geneseed. The only exception is if you're from the same planet as your primarch. They're kind to people, yes, but they're extremely racist to xenos. - If you know the feeling of intense claustrophobia, a blank is that but as a person. The feeling is instinctual. The Culexus just make it worse. Psykers will go crazy, regular people will find the highest building or bridge they could get up on and jump, and if you're a soldier....well, you have a gun in your hand. Might as well point it to your temple. - The Grey Knights are anti-demons, the same way the Deathwatch are anti-xenos. Both are under the command of the Inquisition. The only exception is that the Deathwatch are comprised of veteran Space Marines and will not shoot you if you're unlucky enough to see them. - The High Lords of Terra are people who govern the Imperium. In the command hierarchy, they are below the Inquisition. The only people Inquisitors can't command are the Custodes (they've tried that, didn't work) and the Primarchs.
@1:00:00 the Deathwatch is a mixed regiment faction under the direct control of the Inquisition. The Inquisition takes a tithe of soldiers from each space marine chapter, and retrains and rearms them into what are essentially special forces operations. It depends on the chapter on weather or not they see this as an honor; for instance Ultramarines view it as an honor because the Inquisition is infallible and very righteous; the Space Wolves see it as a dishonor(usually) because it takes them away from their chapter and puts a lot of restrictions on them. Titus, at the end of SpaceMarine, was proven innocent... but that means nothing and so the Inquisition was still suspicious of him; so he was transferred to the Deathwatch under a penitent command (he'd fucked up by being connected to chaos at all and so needed to repent) where they could still have him serve but could watch him.... closely. Chaplains are a rank in the Space Marine structure. They are very strict to the ecclesiarchcal tenants and as such they are very much the same purpose as chaplains in modern day military, but they are also interrogators, rooting out heretical thinking and doubt among their flock. because of that later half, they are a bit like the inquisition but on a much smaller scale (usually just their own chapter) and so will work with the inquisition pretty readily.
that thousand souls daily "meal" is just gathered children and adults taken by The Black Ships to Terra. most psykers in the imperium are reported, hopefully imprisoned, and the black ships come and take them to terra. also watch Alfabusa's TTS series, its a fan series so it's not cannon, but it is the most hilarious shit u will see in your life.
My recommendation is just watch the What if the Emperor had a Text to Speecher device, the single most iconic fan series, a massive amount of in jokes, and a large reason I got so into the community.
@Cyberpunk9000 totally recommend it, they have some great podcasts too, Just a shame GW going full reeet.ard stopped it from being finished, ón the flíp side we got argueably two better shows off the back of it though. Anyhow Alfa Bruva is a big recommend
You probably give the best commentary as a new warhammer fan I've come across! Us fans get the joy of watching someone new discovering something we already love. Its super fun. Love your channel man!
If you want to dip your toe into the Tabletop then there is an "Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Set" for around 65$ that gets you all the basics with paints, some tools, 5 Space Marines and 10 Tyranids to pit against one another on a paper playmat. There is also boxs of like 3 models and some paints and a cheap brush if you just want to try the hobby side of things. Honestly the building and painting to me is half the fun. Turning grey plastic bits into your own army of little dudes is very satisfying. And Warhammer is not the only game in town by the bye. There is Marvel and Batman and tons of Star Wars and franchise you've never heard if.
I also really liked this video ! But I also recommend the story of Death Corps of Krieg , very good story. There are a lot of theories about what would happen if the emperor woke up. By the way there were really 20 sons of the emperor but 2 were erased from human history because the emperor was at war with a terribly dangerous race at the time the Dark Angels were the biggest legion at the time but the Space Wolves and the Raven Guard had to be sent there as reinforcements but they were too late , this was a huge blow to the Emperor and the brothers even had to have their memories of what happened there erased and 2 of their brothers were destroyed along with 2 entire legions and those that survived were secretly resettled. This trauma also affected heresy. I look forward to the next video. The emperor protects !
I love finding new people finding a hobby I've been in for years. If you like the salamander's I recommend looking up the fan comic "fools" and "his angels" pt 1 2 & 3.
Imperium of man isnt bad, they're grey at best, some good and some bad, also the emperor wasnt 10 ft tall, he made peope see him that tall, and there were technically 21 primarchs
The reason why this fantasy realm hasn't been touched yet by Hollywood. GW games workshop keep a close hand on their IP so.... yeah.... Great vid brother keep jumping into this amazing universe!!! You should look at the Old World Warhammer you would love it too.
The black templars basically get a pass on following the space marine rulebook cause they’re on a crusade which allows them to break said rules if deemed necessary
I am enjoying your videos bro. You're 100% right that every faction has tonnes of interesting lore, and probably a hundred things to consider if actually wishing to play. Tonnes of collectors may veer off from their original factions. But ALMOST GUARANTEED (lol) that most players of 40k never read a codex before buying a model. And ALMOST GUARANTEED, that they chose their model based off what they thought was the most BADASS ! : p I know I sure as hell did. (Imperial Catachen snipers, and I think a lascannon or autocannon, and a Sentinel ) Dreadnaughts are hella badass, too Edit: Emperor's Champion was my favourite, and first, Black Templar model. Kinda wish I had kept them, over the years.
If you are interested in playing the Tabletop version, I want to caution you and give you some tips: First, research the factions before you buy. The power of the factions tend to rise and fall depending on the Edition of the game; so some will just be table-stomped right now while others will give you a chance. Despite this - pick you faction because you enjoy their lore, regardless of how strong they are; just temper expectations on their current strength. Second: if you play, try to find an opponent who will play "Fluffy", i.e. not outright crushing you with the best models. This will help you both learn the game and let you start figuring out what works and what doesn't for your faction. Don't try to play hard-core right away, you will quickly get frustrated. Third: the best way to start playing is what are called "Combat Patrol Boxes". Pick up one of those and you tend to get a discount deal for the models involved. There is also a game format based around those boxes. I think they're around $120-150 a box? Been a while since I got one, so not sure.
ahaha I love how you asked VERY GOOD questions occasionally he immediately answered them after you unpaused ! xD lmao subbed man! My favorite chapter are the Death Watch because their task is specified to exterminate all Xenos, so they don't handle Imperial disputes generally, and my favorite race are the Tau cus they are long range af and with dope lasers, have quite a few mechs and they did a very smart thing by not trying to kill all aliens they encounter but have allied themselves with the Kroot and teh Vespid by providing them with technology upliftment to their species civilization.
I hope you blow up bro ive been slowly catching up with your journey through 40k because im new to it too and man between the main videos info and your reactions and input are so funny, and your enthusiasm for the lore really helps me get into it too. big fan and much love.
But he says it all wrong. Emperor was living on Earth since the begining. He didnt show himself until the Dark Age of technology. To basicaly reconquer the Earth and then the Milky Way, where in that time already WAS humans, but shattered and disconnected from each other. What the hell? He makes things that dont exist man. WTF.
Ok, so Bricky actually kinda misrepresents the Cult/Adeptus Mechanicus for the memes. They officially view the Emperor as the physical manifestation of the Machine God, and mostly worship him not as the Emperor, but as the Omnissaiah. They worship the Machine God, the Omnissaiah, and the Motive Force as their version of the Holy Trinity. The Emperor allowed them to continue this belief as part of the treaty he signed with them. Also, to use your car battery example, you've got to think of it this way: they're still going to swap your car battery. But it will be done by enacting the Ritual of Battery Removal, followed by the Rite of Swapping, the Sacrament of Battery Insertion, and then the Ritual of Reconnection. The entire process would be finalized by the Liturgy of the Test Start. Depending on whether the Machine God and Omnissaih favor them, the new battery will crank. If not, they've done something wrong, and there's a decent chance that there's an execution or re-education in someone's near future.
Fun thing with the emperor... He's a Perpetual, he always has to exist, so ironically if he dies he'd be back again. So the imperium keeping him alive is just slowly ruining the imperium instead of getting the reset they need.
White Scars i my personal favourite. From style to lore but they dont get enough love. Their Primarch is also my favourite Primarch, badass, incredible swordsman, hilarious wit and probably most OP of all ..has common sense. His stories and books are so badass
In the lore, Big E is a Perpetual: an immortal being. His needing the souls of 1,000 psykers a day is to keep a portal to Earth closed that Magnus the Red opened. He dies, and Terra faces possible annhilation from the Immaterium
15:00 worst part is that most of this actually is helping the imperium survive one way or another. Like bricky said on one video. There’s no time in a galaxy of constant war. No time for discussion or internal conflict. No hesitation. Only complete devotion to survival which means everything in regards to the Emperor.
In the rts game Dawn of War Soulstorm, the Sisters of Battle faction edge is the ability to prebuild several building and drop them when invading an enemy territory to have much of a base ready immediately.
Fun fact, Henry Cavill (he played Geralt in The Witcher show) is a HUGE Warhammer fan. He's actually in the process of trying to get a Warhammer 40k TV show going. He's got steam on it, but apparently he's VERY into the lore and wants it to be lore accurate and that's causing some problems. I HOPE it happens, and I think he's doing whatever he can to get it to happen.
@8:47 This is fairly recent lore compared to all of wh40k lore but to clarify, In the creation of the Primarchs Emperor gave the 50% of genes and the one that provided the other 50% Genes was A Female Perpetual named Erda, she's the mother of Primarchs. But she got all warp/chaos influenced and was the one who Threw the 18(20) Primarchs to the Warp which resulted them getting scattered across the galaxy. Emps got furious and Imprisoned her(its more like a house arrest) and hid her from the Primarchs so most of them dont know her existence.
The 1000 people a day sacrificed to the Emperor are all pyskers, people with psychic abilities. There is literally a massive fleet, the Black Fleet that travels the Imperium taking them as a tithe on a regular basis.
The Machine Spirit : My Current Head Canon for LasGuns, because the are portrait so differently throughout the Lore is : Inside every PowerPack and every LasGun is actually a Steel Plate engraved in Gold with the Aquila on one side and the Gothic Letters "Lasers Go PewPew" on the other side. And the work like Ork Weapons because the Guardsmen believe they do.
Basically Titus came into direct contact with the warp and a lot of warp energy and was barely affected. This alone puts him under major suspension of being an agent of chaos. Given what he endured, he should have basically gone insane, became corrupted, or just died, but for whatever reason he is highly resistant to warp energies. This same corruption effect is why Grey Nights purge anyone who survived a demon assault, the average persons mere knowledge of chaos existing is enough to begin corrupt them further and spreading that corruption and eventually leading to summoning demons and chaos invations into the materium.
in addition to keeping the Astronomicon shining in the Warp, the Emperor and the Golden Throne also maintain the shield that keeps the Warp (and all the nasty things that dwell within) from spilling through the Webway into the Imperial Palace. It's heavily implied, though never explicitly said, the Emperor also performs "miracles" through his more devout followers (such as the Sororitas and various saints), as well as his sons (Guilliman, after being struck down by his brother Mortarion, is brought back to life and lays a golden smackdown on Morty and all nearby daemons).
Sorry for commenting again. For tabletop, it is a point based system. You and your opponent would agree how many points your armies will be, for a match. Lets say 2000 points. If I were Imperial Guard and you were Space Marines, we would both select models from our armies that would equal up to the 2000 point limit. If my Guardsmen Infantry suck (lets choose a ransom number, 10) each guardsmen is worth 10 points. If your Space Marines are good (another number, 100) then they are worth 100 points. So i could get 200 infantrymen in my army. Whereas you could only get 20. And that would be the balance, is the point limit. Things like tanks, vehicles, special units, and upgraded weapons (like snipers, rockets, mortars, etc) will probably be of a higher point value. Every faction has their own book (codex) which literally has like charts and stuff, to be able to calculate and combine elements together, to create a unique army, to suit your playstyle and preferences. Or specific to a scenerio. Some people may choose an army that is mostly melee, or perhaps heavy weapon heavy, or with mobile or armored units. Or tonnes of infantry, or maybe decide on something more balanced. That is where it becomes an, each to their own, kinda thing. Most battles though will require at least one HQ (headquarters) unit, on each side.
About the Imperial Guard. Yes you can have success with them on the tabletop but they are a difficult faction to play. Usually people use tons of artillery, or tons of tanks and vehicles or just waves of infantry. Its a fun army but very expensive because of amount of models you need. I use a lot of tanks and tons of infantry.

I think Bricky has gotten more people into warhammer than any of the advertisements game workshop has done
Thanks to his enthusiasm and storytelling he's gotten me interested in the franchise to the point that I feel I gotta check out the latest game.
It was WesHammer for me
There is no doubt in my mind that it is true especially for our generations.

Hail to Bricky! HERALD TO THE EMPEROR!
Once at work, our office servers stopped working. For almost a full ten minutes there was talk how we gonna lose a ton of progress for today, if it wont be fixed till noon.
The IT guy fixed it the next half an hour, and told us it works cuz the Machine Spirit wants it to work. He literally did nothing to it, but waited, we stared at the server bank with him, and it came back to life. The collective faith in the Omnissiah saved our work day.
It really do be like that sometimes, my fav was when my computer had some weird issues and then a friend who knows IT comes in and the PC just goes "Guess I'll obey now" and just 'fixes itself' just because of their presence.
Like as an electrical engineer, I unironically believe in the Ohmnessiah.
Some machines just won't work unless you usher them alone, some will work when they really shouldn't, Like I built my own computer when I was 10 and just kept upgrading it over the last decade, I'm somewhat convinced my PC is now sentient. And if it isn't, I'm certain it has a machine spirit, I've had it encounter issues with seemingly no fix, once had an issue where it took 3 days to try and diagnose the issue as it had somehow deleted the desktop, and thes best way I could describe it. Only for on the 3rd day for it to randomly turn on while I was on a tea break and decide to suddenly let me hard reset itself, something it had been resisting for at least a day by then. It's like it came to terms with being reset and embraced reincarnation. I mean, in the modern day, physically how it's setup, it shouldn't work, It's a frankenstein of a build, old and new parts combined to squeeze every bit of power I can. But have of the boot sequence is stored on the non boot drive, there are filed named identically, in the same location that lead to different folders, something that is hard coded to be impossible on windows.
TLDR, trained professional willing to confirm the existence of machine spirits.
this is to sad to be funny
Praise and Glory be to the Machine God
Wait you mean that we as IT has to do something other than pray and burn incense?
Funny you mention the similarities to God and Lucifer. You will learn very quickly that Warhammer has taken inspiration from EVERYTHING. From history to religion to mythology to sci fi to fantasy. It's a melting pot of inspirations and has become it's own thing as a result.

I've heard this rumor about both WarCraft and StarCraft now, not sure which is true. Was WarCraft originally meant to be a Warhammer game, or was StarCraft originally meant to be a Warhammer 40,000 game?

Dude, you get it. There are major portions of the fanbase who don't even care about actually playing the tabletop at all, we're into the lore, the factions, maybe collecting and painting miniatures. And it's all fine.
Tbf many can't afford the tabletop, time or money. Like I'm a hard-core guard fan, but there is no way I'm giving GW hundreds if not thousands of euro on little plastic men.
The lore is good, and a healthy dose of headcannon. Like maybe the lamenters will one day catch a break, or maybe one day GW will stop tickling the assholes of blueberry and cadian fans and give the other regiments and chapters a bit of the limelight.
This made me smile inside I seen a warhammer table top game at my local jay cd and hobby,
I’m gonna get it and give it a go👍
@@cobbleturd6978 Yeah I only have a tertiary understanding of the lore. I really only watch tom&ben talk about it. The prices are crazy. Makes me wonder. Why not spend a couple hundred on a 3d printer on amazon. Then print and have fun.
Kaldor Draigo is basically this universes doom guy. He is stuck *in the warp* fighting demons 24/7/three hundred sixy fuckin' five, and only occasionally gets out to actually help the grey knights

You had a Space Marine 2 question about an Inquisitor sending Titus to the Deathwatch as a penance for heresy, but also the space marines suggesting that serving in the Deathwatch is a high honor.
Both are true. The Deathwatch is a group made to counter Xeno threats. I mean like high up threats, the biggest threats from aliens you can imagine. The front lines of those encounters will be led by Deathwatch. The Deathwatch isnt made from a single legion though, its comprised of volunteers. They go from legion to legion asking for the best of the best to serve. The legion/chapter will have a volunteer or they will pick someone to send to serve the Deathwatch for a certain amount of time. Its honored because most of the time its a death sentence. The missions Deathwatch undergo have a high casualty ratings, even for space marines, but its by necessity. The are many dark horrors out there that are only kept at bay because of the Deathwatch.
Titus did not volunteer and wasnt given the honor of joining. He didnt get to keep his Ultramarine symbol on his shoulder, and he wasnt serving for any set amount of time. His shoulder colors were painted black, and he was sent to serve as a blackshield, for life, until death to redeem himself in the eyes of the emperor. To be a blackshield is not honor, its punishment. No going home victory party. Just one suicide mission to the next. The fact that Titus survived 100 years in the Watch is crazy. He orobably saw some shit. Probably killed it too.
"he probably saw some shit. Probably killed it too!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Blackronin357 thats probably why he is still alive.
When the Emperor likes you, every die you roll is 4+. Ask Ciaphas Cain.
@@tokukeitaro My head canon is the Emperor is highly amused by Ciaphas Cain, which is why he survived all the crazy shit he did.
So basically being punished to serve as Blackshield is like serving in a Penal Battalion-a death sentence?
In the lore, 99% of Battles are won by the Imperial Guard.
And 99.9% of the casualties.
@@redkommie80 i mean there's so many that the casualties are literally ignored so, not too big of a loss
@soulofconflict the issue with guard lore is how fucking all over the place it is between books, codexs and editions, doesn't help that rarely are2 regiments the same. I mean it's the ultimate homebred breeding ground, except for the orks, because that's just a whole other level of nonsense.
Sure remember planet of guardsmen incident, a planet with more guardsmen than there are atoms in the universe
@@cobbleturd6978 well this is because the writer don't known military term, and because of that regiments vary insanely in size from 1-2 thousand men to 100k of men. Regiments command divisions and so on. It has some scaling problems but we work around it :D
The tabletop is fairly expensive. My setup is around 500$ and I'm still just starting out. It's honestly one of the most expensive hobbies you can have so most people stick with the games and lore. Henry Cavill even joked that he got into acting just to support his Warhammer addiction lmao.
prob half that to start, a combat patrol (or 2) and maybe a couple of other things can get you a 500pt game, kill team for less
also depends on who you want to play
the magazine out soon will prob be pretty decent (but slow) if it is as good as the last one
Fun fact: If the Emperor dies he would actually just get reborn into a new body, so if they were to end him now he could come back in a better condition than just a corpse throne, but not only would that leave them very vulnerable, no one wants to have the bad wrap of having killed the emperor, no amount of justification would stop them from being stapled a heretic and killed for their supposed transgression. It's so bad that they view the Emperor as more important than humanity itself, this is why the emperor never wanted to be worshipped, he even burnt down a church worshipping him because he was afraid of this outcome. How Ironic, huh?
Actually its more like hed ascend to becoming a warp god then just come back as he was .
It’s not really known for sure
The timeline on him coming back is especially murky. It's *possible* that humanity would be really boned for centuries or millenia, and then wind up better in the long run.
Or maybe he would get really depressed and angry when he sees that everything he built has turned into the opposite of what he intended, and he would use his godlike powers to obliterate humanity.
It's quite a dice roll.
Not to mention while he's regenerating there's no warp travel so entire galaxy is cut off and the web way gate would fail and the demons would flood the throne room and destroy earth.
In recent lore Cypher had the opportunity to kill the emperor so that he could revive, but he was stopped by the emperor who said not yet.
There are some theories to why he doesn't want to revive yet:
As William said it could take centuries and no-one is able to take his place in the meantime.
It's possible he's waiting to regain the star child part of his soul to revive more efficiently.
And the last, in his current state he's more powerful than he ever was when he was "human' (especially since the opening of the great rift), since he has premonitions it's possible that he has saw a threat that he wouldn't be able to face with his normal powers.
First off, welcome to the community bro. The community is very accepting of new fans wanting to take the plunge in any aspect of the hobby. It doesn't matter if it's video games or the Tabletop. Side note though, the tabletop is a commitment of its own so I would only get into it if you are ready and if you have someone willing to play the game and split a box set with you, do it.
Important thing: the minis come UNASSEMBLED AND UNPAINTED. Painting is a big part of the hobby but not for everyone. As someone who paints these minis for a living I encourage people to paint their own stuff all the time but that part is a commitment in itself and I wouldn't want you to spend money on something you would get bored of. That being said, I'm always looking for new clients 😅, but I just had to let you know that before getting into it. And more importantly play something YOU like, faction power levels change every few years but if you have an army you enjoy the lore of you will never get tired of it. Once again, welcome and we are happy to receive you. FOR THE EMPEROR! 🤘🐺
Black Templars are space marines but they don’t follow the rules that most space marines do. They do get empowered by the emperor though
oh mein got ! Der Codex Astartes ist ein bunch of bullsheisse !
@@_UsacoHERESY
My favorite faction after watching 'Helsreach.'
to add to this cause i see this a lot, the codex astartes is fairly old lore now, cause since the indomitus crusade with Guilliman (5 ish years now ?) he basically came back and said "lol you guys still use that shit?" remember guilliman to be the reasonable, prepared guy the codex was necessary post heresy but not anymore, i don't believe gw is going the 1 million space marine cap route anymore ( 1000 chapters of 1000 marines ) once the primaris rolled out that pretty much went out the window chapter numbers swelled well past codex numbers, and many new fresh chapters were made in that founding, with no mention of the codex cap other than again guilliman basically saying "get with the times idiots"
They TECHNICALLY follow the rules. Each chapter of space marines was only allowed to have a 1000 members UNLESS they are on a crusade, then they could have as many as they want. It just so happens that the Black Templars have managed to keep on finding excuses to keep their crusade going for 10,000 years.
As a staunch guard player, yes I win most of the games. I play with heavy use of tanks and artillery. Praise be to the first man to die!
As a chaos Daemons player guard has never won against me.

@@vaevictis6990 As far as I know, she alrady had working protypes of super humans before working for the emperor, thats where thunder warriors came from, but big e took her research and added his genetic code to make the primarchs.
I'm an Ork fan because out of all the factions they are the only ones having fun. They were created by the old ones to destroy the Necron. If they don't fight they start to die.
I love how all they imagine basically becomes real (super simplification) , so pointing your fingers at them and going pew pew in a convincingly enough manner can kill them and be a literal weapon to use vs them lmao
I like the scenario he described where they were driving a truck into a battle and it ran out of fuel, so they told their Waagh boss (is that what they are called? - I’m Dark Angels so not up on the Ork lore) and he just said “no it hasn’t” and the Truck just started again 😂
The Sisters of Battle are trained at the Schola Progenium alongside the commisars and assassins. It's well worth watching a video about it.

@@DekkarJr A number of the Sisters, especially those of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, dye their hair in honor of the organization's founder, Alicia Dominica, whose hair turned white after a chat with the Emperor.
8:48 the reason Bricky keeps saying there are 20 Primarchs then switched to 18 is because 2 of the Primarchs and their Legions of Space Marines got wiped from existence by the Emperor and his best friend Malcador. Also they outlawed mentioning them ever.
What did they do to make them that mad
@@Frostknight231 Nobody knows, it was removed from history by the Emperor.
Are you talking about Horus that got wiped from existence or is there really nothing about those 2 in the lore ?
@@tazepatates4805 In reality they're meant as placeholder for user created Legions but in the lore Malcador almost disintegrated one the Primarchs for almost mentioning them. Iirc it was Horus if not then still. It should go without saying they did something really bad.
@@averagemaverick9848 damn, what could be even worse than trying to kill the emperor though ?!?
Indeed the emperor also empowers people who show him faith at times. He also helps protect peoples minds from chaos so long as you remain faithfull. This does not mean you are immune to chaos, just more resilient in some cases.
Black templars are a great example of this. They are one of the few factions that see the emperor as a god.
Congrats on 1k! 🎉
since this is all based on psychic energy there are always different ways to understand them. Guilliman explained in the dark imperium series that saints and champions might be un knowingly psickers and their devotion might be a catalyst to stabilise and give their power form. Then again maybe not. The themes of warhammer are those of un explainable and lost knowledge through regression and ignorance. its rare that abstract aspects are given definitive explanation and almost always only known to us the audience as the characters never come to know
The mechanicus' working is more of a ritualistic engineering process. For eg: If you want to turn on a machine then you 1st do the "Ritual of turning on" say a prayer and then push the button. Then comes the ritual of "booting up" once the machine has botted up then you have a whole host of rituals and prayers depending on what you want the machine to do.
Tips if you decide to get into the tabletop:
Rule of Cool,, pick what you think is cool and not the meta, and you will have fun.
Combat Patrols, these boxes range roughly around the $100 area and are designed to be a self contained army balanced in a way you can fight any other combat patrol box and it should be even. They usually contain some infantry, a leader, and a vehicle or monster of sorts. Combat Patrol is a game mode in of itself with slightly different rules than the regular wh40k game to keep the boxes balanced. If you decide you want to pursue the hobby further you have the perfect jumping off point to build a bigger army from there. Also boxed sets give you much better value than individual units.
Home Rules, When playing, if you and your friend are confused by a ruling, dont fight or argue it, find a compromise to the rule or just flip a coin. there are a LOT of rules in this game and can get very confusing to the new player.
11:11
So, the Emperor is a perpetual. In the 40k universe, these are people who cannot die. When they die, they basically just respawn. He is literally being kept at 1 hp, being unable to respawn.
Unfortunately, killing him has a lot of consequences. At the moment, he is powering the Astronomicon, which is used to navigate the Warp. Should he die, all of space navigation goes with him. At the moment of the universe, the galaxy was cleaved in two, one side has the Astronomicon, the other doesn't. On the side that doesn't, all hell's breaking loose.
Also, because of stuff that happened during the Horus Heresy, there is a Warp Rift in Terra that he's holding off. If he dies, Terra will become another tear in the fabric of reality.
Finally, because he's been fed 1000 souls a day for a millennia, and deified, he has become a god, but he is still trapped in his mortal body. If his body was allowed to die, he would return as a new full-fledged god.
Would this god still be him or would it be an evil creature that has a mind of it's own ?
40:20
I gotchu bro.
Kaldor Draygo is currently in the Warp, doesn´t know how to get out, but decided he doesn´t care about getting out either.
He´s now much more interested in finding a way to burn Nurgles Garden and leave nothing but ashes.
You were off a good 4 minutes
Yes! I just recently got into WH40k... I got my first set of figure (Space Wolves) and I am painting my first one this weekend.
Lady Warhammer player here and I play Adepta Sororitas!!! I started learning the lore and it just BLEW. MY. MIND how hardcore these women were. A whiff of heresy? The Sisters will put your ass down. I will fangirl for my faction to anyone who will listen :D
As part of the table top Battle Honours program in stores to get part of my stuff signed off I had to talk to a staff member about why I chose them basically and I got a little teary eyed because representation. They are fiercely loyal and can go toe to toe with anyone and they aren't portrayed as somehow weaker because they are women. Also yes, The Exorcist pipe organ tank is awesome!
I didn't think I would ever be playing a tabletop game but there is something so satisfying about building and painting your army and seeing your artistic skills improve with each miniature you build. It's also SUPER relaxing. I'll put on some Netflix or some music and I can paint for a whole day. Then you play a battle and you lay your army on the table and there is a definite sense of "Awwww yeah, see that? Yeah I made that." I've spent about $2000 so far but the sheer amount of hours of fun in building, painting and playing does make it really good value.
The Sisters of Battle is my fave too and I was really peeved about Female Space Marines thing for a different reason. Just gives us new powerful units from the Sisters of Battle instead - THEY'RE RIGHT THERE! I don't care if they're augmented humans, cybernetic enhanced, or smaller versions of Living Saints, just don't let them be a another generic marine!
Hey man, just found you...
Fantastic reactions, you are a great addition to my reaction lists. Grats on 1k and many more!
They ARE expensive, but you buy them once and you have them. I buy a box of models for 50 bucks, spend 2 hours assembling them, rouhgly 3-6 hours PER MODEL to paint, and each game i play with them lasts 2 hours. So i buy a box for 50 bucks, 10 models, and i am guarenteed roughly 44 hours of entertainment of various types. So im out $1.13 per hour for entertainment. Their cost is front loaded, and worth it 100%

I'm a Salamander myself. Btw. Henry Cavill once said that Salamanders and Blood Angels are his favorite Space Marine legions/chapters. If you want to start Salamanders watch a video called Salamanders Tribute- Anvil of War and a song on YT called Forges of Nocturne by The Misfit Brigade.
Salamanders are also the only chapter to permit, and encourage, their marines to visit their families after being transformed are they not?
@@vaevictis6990 yes and that's probally one in not the main reason they keep their humanity in tact
Kudos for the 1K. You are now have more people subscribed than the entire Thousand Sons!
39:19 they can't exactly banish demons with their presence (that's more pariahs things and you can only be born with such an ability), but their mental conditioning is enough not to go crazy or get corrupted upon contract with the warp sorcery or entities, unlike regular people, but that still doesn't mean they couldn't be corrupted at all, given enough time and exposure (e.g. they can't really go where Grey Knights usually go), but usually they win or get killed long before that. Space Marines are conditioned the similar way (since after the Horus Heresy), but one chapter in particular went an extra mile in that - Exorcists are actually forcing daemons into the innates and after some time get them banished by Inquisitor, thus getting a boosted resistance against the warp entities, which makes their chapter one of the best to fight against the daemonic incursions or in warp-infested environments (basically a Wallmart Grey Knights).
Doing part 2 would for sure help with retention. Should definitely do every space marine faction explained, that one has the most merit to understanding the people you play as and interact with.
(Edit note) yes the video is also done by bricky lol.
12:38 This will be a bit of a deep dive, but yes he does do those things - to a point. See, he was put on that throne 10,000 years ago, and 1,000 souls were what was required to power him then. As his body has decayed, it has required progressively more than 1,000 souls to get the same effect. If he is fed enough he can do all sorts of goofy things.
Yeah same as the chaos gods. They are able to grant more powers through more worship
A chaplain is a chapters equivalent to a priest. They ensure the codes and beliefs of their chapter is upheld, if not they might report it to the inquisition
And most chapters don't view the Emperor as a god
“There are no innocence, only degrees of guilt”
You should look up chris raynor talking about space marine organs, hes a surgeon who breaks down about what makes a space marine internal system so wild
19:30 Cadia stands!- The Planet broke before the Guard.
There are a few reasons why GW stuff has not made it to the big screen. Games Workshop for the longest time was adamant on having full control and merch rights over their ip, meaning collaborations were impossible, recently that has become more relaxed, BUT, studies need to studio, and want to change things to have their own stamp on stuff, and GW is firm on vetoing changing the lore drastically, which I think is a good thing. as there is not need to change an entire setting to fit a story, rather the lore is large enough to tell the story inside it
Basically, if Emps ACTUALLY died (he’s basically immortal, but) if he actually died for REAL, everyone who is NOT on terra is instantly lost. He guides all of their ships, he guides humanity through the galaxy. Everyone on Terra would feel his death, and like 5 seconds later, humanity would just be destroyed. Just by existing, his sheer power wards off all four chaos Gods, and when he dies this would be felt throughout the warp, and within moments Terra would be swarmed with everything hell has been trying to throw at it for 10,000 years
Guess we can’t unplug the throne to charge my phone, huh.
Just saying:GW, you didn’t need a female Custodes. The Adepta Sororitas blows all of that out of the water.
@@KansaiCool i agree f that shit bro
Just found your channel, absolutely love it, hope you have great success.
He does do more than just power the Astronomican - he also holds back demons from invading Terra, and many believe his warp essence/spirit works miracles or gives messages through tarot cards and such
Watching you experience the crazy world of 40K has been great. I think you really captured it well when you brought up reconnecting with your childhood glee and imagination.
- The "magazine" of lasgun is actually battery pack that can be recharged by itself, solar, and heat. You can literally toss the mag into a campfire and recharge it. If the death count is at 30 million in a single battle, this is normal.
- If you are a Salamander, it doesn't matter if you are pastiest white guy ever , your skin will turn because of your primarch's geneseed. The only exception is if you're from the same planet as your primarch. They're kind to people, yes, but they're extremely racist to xenos.
- If you know the feeling of intense claustrophobia, a blank is that but as a person. The feeling is instinctual. The Culexus just make it worse. Psykers will go crazy, regular people will find the highest building or bridge they could get up on and jump, and if you're a soldier....well, you have a gun in your hand. Might as well point it to your temple.
- The Grey Knights are anti-demons, the same way the Deathwatch are anti-xenos. Both are under the command of the Inquisition. The only exception is that the Deathwatch are comprised of veteran Space Marines and will not shoot you if you're unlucky enough to see them.
- The High Lords of Terra are people who govern the Imperium. In the command hierarchy, they are below the Inquisition. The only people Inquisitors can't command are the Custodes (they've tried that, didn't work) and the Primarchs.
@1:00:00 the Deathwatch is a mixed regiment faction under the direct control of the Inquisition. The Inquisition takes a tithe of soldiers from each space marine chapter, and retrains and rearms them into what are essentially special forces operations. It depends on the chapter on weather or not they see this as an honor; for instance Ultramarines view it as an honor because the Inquisition is infallible and very righteous; the Space Wolves see it as a dishonor(usually) because it takes them away from their chapter and puts a lot of restrictions on them. Titus, at the end of SpaceMarine, was proven innocent... but that means nothing and so the Inquisition was still suspicious of him; so he was transferred to the Deathwatch under a penitent command (he'd fucked up by being connected to chaos at all and so needed to repent) where they could still have him serve but could watch him.... closely.
Chaplains are a rank in the Space Marine structure. They are very strict to the ecclesiarchcal tenants and as such they are very much the same purpose as chaplains in modern day military, but they are also interrogators, rooting out heretical thinking and doubt among their flock. because of that later half, they are a bit like the inquisition but on a much smaller scale (usually just their own chapter) and so will work with the inquisition pretty readily.
40:33 Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him
I'm so into Warhammer 40k that now I'm playing Space Marine 2 RIGHT NOW, and watching a guy react to a lore video I've already watched MYSELF.
LOL
that thousand souls daily "meal" is just gathered children and adults taken by The Black Ships to Terra. most psykers in the imperium are reported, hopefully imprisoned, and the black ships come and take them to terra.
also watch Alfabusa's TTS series, its a fan series so it's not cannon, but it is the most hilarious shit u will see in your life.
My recommendation is just watch the What if the Emperor had a Text to Speecher device, the single most iconic fan series, a massive amount of in jokes, and a large reason I got so into the community.
I’m seeking this out instantly 😂
@Cyberpunk9000 totally recommend it, they have some great podcasts too, Just a shame GW going full reeet.ard stopped it from being finished, ón the flíp side we got argueably two better shows off the back of it though. Anyhow Alfa Bruva is a big recommend
You probably give the best commentary as a new warhammer fan I've come across! Us fans get the joy of watching someone new discovering something we already love. Its super fun. Love your channel man!
Crazy how this is a basic breakdown of all the human factions and it’s an hour
If you want to dip your toe into the Tabletop then there is an "Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Set" for around 65$ that gets you all the basics with paints, some tools, 5 Space Marines and 10 Tyranids to pit against one another on a paper playmat.
There is also boxs of like 3 models and some paints and a cheap brush if you just want to try the hobby side of things.
Honestly the building and painting to me is half the fun.
Turning grey plastic bits into your own army of little dudes is very satisfying.
And Warhammer is not the only game in town by the bye.
There is Marvel and Batman and tons of Star Wars and franchise you've never heard if.
Haha the space marines are the good guys.... they're our good guys lol
I also really liked this video ! But I also recommend the story of Death Corps of Krieg , very good story. There are a lot of theories about what would happen if the emperor woke up. By the way there were really 20 sons of the emperor but 2 were erased from human history because the emperor was at war with a terribly dangerous race at the time the Dark Angels were the biggest legion at the time but the Space Wolves and the Raven Guard had to be sent there as reinforcements but they were too late , this was a huge blow to the Emperor and the brothers even had to have their memories of what happened there erased and 2 of their brothers were destroyed along with 2 entire legions and those that survived were secretly resettled. This trauma also affected heresy. I look forward to the next video. The emperor protects !
Lol, loved you comparing WH40K to Pokemon. I love people learning about 40k. Keep the videos coming!
I love finding new people finding a hobby I've been in for years. If you like the salamander's I recommend looking up the fan comic "fools" and "his angels" pt 1 2 & 3.
Imperium of man isnt bad, they're grey at best, some good and some bad, also the emperor wasnt 10 ft tall, he made peope see him that tall, and there were technically 21 primarchs
A fellow Salamanders enjoyer, lesgooooo! Welcome, brother! Unto the Anvil of War!
Vulcan lives!
My man, welcome to Warhammer 40k
The reason why this fantasy realm hasn't been touched yet by Hollywood. GW games workshop keep a close hand on their IP so.... yeah.... Great vid brother keep jumping into this amazing universe!!! You should look at the Old World Warhammer you would love it too.
So cool to see new people getting into 40K. I started off 10 years ago playing the tabletop game nd have not looked back since
The black templars basically get a pass on following the space marine rulebook cause they’re on a crusade which allows them to break said rules if deemed necessary
I am enjoying your videos bro. You're 100% right that every faction has tonnes of interesting lore, and probably a hundred things to consider if actually wishing to play. Tonnes of collectors may veer off from their original factions. But ALMOST GUARANTEED (lol) that most players of 40k never read a codex before buying a model. And ALMOST GUARANTEED, that they chose their model based off what they thought was the most BADASS ! : p
I know I sure as hell did. (Imperial Catachen snipers, and I think a lascannon or autocannon, and a Sentinel )
Dreadnaughts are hella badass, too
Edit: Emperor's Champion was my favourite, and first, Black Templar model. Kinda wish I had kept them, over the years.
- Warhammer changes people...
- Yeah, how is that?
- I used to be black.

If you are interested in playing the Tabletop version, I want to caution you and give you some tips: First, research the factions before you buy. The power of the factions tend to rise and fall depending on the Edition of the game; so some will just be table-stomped right now while others will give you a chance. Despite this - pick you faction because you enjoy their lore, regardless of how strong they are; just temper expectations on their current strength.
Second: if you play, try to find an opponent who will play "Fluffy", i.e. not outright crushing you with the best models. This will help you both learn the game and let you start figuring out what works and what doesn't for your faction. Don't try to play hard-core right away, you will quickly get frustrated.
Third: the best way to start playing is what are called "Combat Patrol Boxes". Pick up one of those and you tend to get a discount deal for the models involved. There is also a game format based around those boxes. I think they're around $120-150 a box? Been a while since I got one, so not sure.
ahaha I love how you asked VERY GOOD questions occasionally he immediately answered them after you unpaused ! xD lmao
subbed man! My favorite chapter are the Death Watch because their task is specified to exterminate all Xenos, so they don't handle Imperial disputes generally, and my favorite race are the Tau cus they are long range af and with dope lasers, have quite a few mechs and they did a very smart thing by not trying to kill all aliens they encounter but have allied themselves with the Kroot and teh Vespid by providing them with technology upliftment to their species civilization.
Yeah the Sisters of Battle definitely are the reason I'm buying and painting the tabletop. I'm so excited to devote my weekend to them ❤🔥
I hope you blow up bro ive been slowly catching up with your journey through 40k because im new to it too and man between the main videos info and your reactions and input are so funny, and your enthusiasm for the lore really helps me get into it too. big fan and much love.
But he says it all wrong. Emperor was living on Earth since the begining. He didnt show himself until the Dark Age of technology. To basicaly reconquer the Earth and then the Milky Way, where in that time already WAS humans, but shattered and disconnected from each other. What the hell? He makes things that dont exist man. WTF.
Ok, so Bricky actually kinda misrepresents the Cult/Adeptus Mechanicus for the memes. They officially view the Emperor as the physical manifestation of the Machine God, and mostly worship him not as the Emperor, but as the Omnissaiah. They worship the Machine God, the Omnissaiah, and the Motive Force as their version of the Holy Trinity. The Emperor allowed them to continue this belief as part of the treaty he signed with them.
Also, to use your car battery example, you've got to think of it this way: they're still going to swap your car battery. But it will be done by enacting the Ritual of Battery Removal, followed by the Rite of Swapping, the Sacrament of Battery Insertion, and then the Ritual of Reconnection. The entire process would be finalized by the Liturgy of the Test Start. Depending on whether the Machine God and Omnissaih favor them, the new battery will crank. If not, they've done something wrong, and there's a decent chance that there's an execution or re-education in someone's near future.
You know what, fuck it. I'll start my 40k journey with you Mr. Jon.
Knowing more about the Imperium makes chaos seem not so bad after all.
“Yes, inquisitor, this is the traitor…”
untill you learn of chaos and the the imperium doesnt seem that bad....
@@claudematthieubayemi4276 Chaos>
If we're all in the 40k universe we will run like a little girl to the nearest Tau world.
That's how it starts man. THATS HOW IT STARTS!
Fun thing with the emperor... He's a Perpetual, he always has to exist, so ironically if he dies he'd be back again. So the imperium keeping him alive is just slowly ruining the imperium instead of getting the reset they need.
I haven’t gotten into the tabletop yet, but if I do, I’m running a Sisterhood army. Silence AND Battle!
“What’s wrong with Cadia” oh boy we got some news for you 😂
White Scars i my personal favourite. From style to lore but they dont get enough love. Their Primarch is also my favourite Primarch, badass, incredible swordsman, hilarious wit and probably most OP of all ..has common sense. His stories and books are so badass
In the lore, Big E is a Perpetual: an immortal being. His needing the souls of 1,000 psykers a day is to keep a portal to Earth closed that Magnus the Red opened. He dies, and Terra faces possible annhilation from the Immaterium
I love being here and re-discovering this with you.
15:00 worst part is that most of this actually is helping the imperium survive one way or another. Like bricky said on one video. There’s no time in a galaxy of constant war. No time for discussion or internal conflict. No hesitation. Only complete devotion to survival which means everything in regards to the Emperor.
Awesome channel bro, love your commentary, keep it up my G!
A good Inquisition quote: A plea of innocence is guilty of wasting my time. Guilty!
I enjoy watching you, good job bro. this shit is twisted and Space Marine 2 is a phenom and I hope the world learns.
In the rts game Dawn of War Soulstorm, the Sisters of Battle faction edge is the ability to prebuild several building and drop them when invading an enemy territory to have much of a base ready immediately.
Fun fact, Henry Cavill (he played Geralt in The Witcher show) is a HUGE Warhammer fan. He's actually in the process of trying to get a Warhammer 40k TV show going. He's got steam on it, but apparently he's VERY into the lore and wants it to be lore accurate and that's causing some problems. I HOPE it happens, and I think he's doing whatever he can to get it to happen.
The only requirement for the 1000 souls fed to the Emperor, is that they are psykers.
@8:47 This is fairly recent lore compared to all of wh40k lore but to clarify, In the creation of the Primarchs Emperor gave the 50% of genes and the one that provided the other 50% Genes was A Female Perpetual named Erda, she's the mother of Primarchs. But she got all warp/chaos influenced and was the one who Threw the 18(20) Primarchs to the Warp which resulted them getting scattered across the galaxy. Emps got furious and Imprisoned her(its more like a house arrest) and hid her from the Primarchs so most of them dont know her existence.
Except the bastard Erebus
@@gosaitseleburu4651 ye fuck Erebus, all my homies hate him.
A table top with The Imperial Guard sisters of Battle can most definitely can Take on Tyranids I believe table top, digital, maybe more
"these guys get fking hammered" - imperial guard
Don't sleep on the Guard. I've had my Chaos Space Marine legion get their shit wrecked just by not being able to make it to their front line
The 1000 people a day sacrificed to the Emperor are all pyskers, people with psychic abilities. There is literally a massive fleet, the Black Fleet that travels the Imperium taking them as a tithe on a regular basis.
He also holds the web way closed on earth to keep chaos demons flooding fourth
The Machine Spirit :
My Current Head Canon for LasGuns, because the are portrait so differently throughout the Lore is :
Inside every PowerPack and every LasGun is actually a Steel Plate engraved in Gold with the Aquila on one side and the Gothic Letters "Lasers Go PewPew" on the other side.
And the work like Ork Weapons because the Guardsmen believe they do.
Basically Titus came into direct contact with the warp and a lot of warp energy and was barely affected. This alone puts him under major suspension of being an agent of chaos. Given what he endured, he should have basically gone insane, became corrupted, or just died, but for whatever reason he is highly resistant to warp energies.
This same corruption effect is why Grey Nights purge anyone who survived a demon assault, the average persons mere knowledge of chaos existing is enough to begin corrupt them further and spreading that corruption and eventually leading to summoning demons and chaos invations into the materium.
in addition to keeping the Astronomicon shining in the Warp, the Emperor and the Golden Throne also maintain the shield that keeps the Warp (and all the nasty things that dwell within) from spilling through the Webway into the Imperial Palace. It's heavily implied, though never explicitly said, the Emperor also performs "miracles" through his more devout followers (such as the Sororitas and various saints), as well as his sons (Guilliman, after being struck down by his brother Mortarion, is brought back to life and lays a golden smackdown on Morty and all nearby daemons).
The planet broke before the gaurd.

Sorry for commenting again.
For tabletop, it is a point based system. You and your opponent would agree how many points your armies will be, for a match. Lets say 2000 points.
If I were Imperial Guard and you were Space Marines, we would both select models from our armies that would equal up to the 2000 point limit. If my Guardsmen Infantry suck (lets choose a ransom number, 10) each guardsmen is worth 10 points. If your Space Marines are good (another number, 100) then they are worth 100 points. So i could get 200 infantrymen in my army. Whereas you could only get 20. And that would be the balance, is the point limit. Things like tanks, vehicles, special units, and upgraded weapons (like snipers, rockets, mortars, etc) will probably be of a higher point value. Every faction has their own book (codex) which literally has like charts and stuff, to be able to calculate and combine elements together, to create a unique army, to suit your playstyle and preferences. Or specific to a scenerio.
Some people may choose an army that is mostly melee, or perhaps heavy weapon heavy, or with mobile or armored units. Or tonnes of infantry, or maybe decide on something more balanced. That is where it becomes an, each to their own, kinda thing. Most battles though will require at least one HQ (headquarters) unit, on each side.
About the Imperial Guard. Yes you can have success with them on the tabletop but they are a difficult faction to play. Usually people use tons of artillery, or tons of tanks and vehicles or just waves of infantry. Its a fun army but very expensive because of amount of models you need. I use a lot of tanks and tons of infantry.

My Armor be Contempt!
My Sword be Righteous Fury!
If you pray hard enough, that is not just something Edgy that you said.
That shit will be reality.
Best Space Marine Chapter is Ravengaurd FYI. Khorvus going full beast mode on Angron was legit the best ass wipping in all the lore
