- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- This is my first dive into the Warhammer 40K universe, will I become a fan? 🤯 To start my adventure into the Space Marine games, first we must learn about the world. We watch two timeline lore videos, one by Bricky "What is Warhammer 40,000" and "TIMELINE of the 40K UNIVERSE by Trazyn the Infinite" by Warrior Tier.
...and let me tell you, THIS UNIVERSE IS TRAGIC and it might just hook me in because I love a good tragedy. Welcome a newcomer into the series? Feel free to leave comments 💖

BUSINESS INQUIRIES: ashewyn@ggtalentgroup.com
Does anyone have any book recommendations for me as a newcomer? Just like 1-2 suggestions to get started. I’m someone with ADHD, when I get interested in something I have to capitalize on that interest immediately otherwise I forget about it. I’ll pick up some kindle books and give them a read. ☺️
EDIT: I'm going next week to a sci fi book store and picking up the Eisenhorn trilogy - Omnibus (?)
@@Ashewyn I have adhd too so I can recommend short stories
The infinite and the divine
I would recommend Ciaphas Cain hero of the imperium omnibus.
The Eisenhorn trilogy by Dan Abnett is a perfect start.
guants ghosts: first and only.
I love that more people are getting into the lore of 40K.
The Emprah has claimed another victim I mean acolyte
+1
They get to have that amazing feeling of diving into the lore for the first time and realizing how deep it really is. All the wild events that happen like Angron catching a titan mechs foot as it tries to smash him. He literally holds the weight of an entire titan to save Lorgar
Moar souls for the dark gods of chaos to consume
Yes its good.
But we have to be careful
Or we gonna get a California 2.0
Meaning they will force the lore to change and cant understand why its getting bad
For anyone who doesn't want to do that math, the Emperor has "eaten" 3,500,000,000ish psychers since he's been on the throne.
Only a couple then 😂
@@T57Custodian
Assuming he is able to retain 10% of their power for himself after staving off chaos and powering the astronomicon (Yes, I know, that''s not technically how the Warp works) he would now be 350, 000,000 times stronger than the average psycher PLUS the power he had at the peak of the crusade PLUS however much the worship of humanity empowers him.
Like Guilliman said, this was no longer his father, but something different. Something terrible. Merely being in the presence of it burned him.
One thing Bricky left out about the Emperor is that he's been around on earth since frackin 8000BC! So he was already 37-38K years old when he took over earth.
how is that possible??
@@Ashewyn The magic word here is "Perpetual."
No one knows for sure how old he is but there are conversations where the emperor talks of his childhood several thousand years pre BC.
Several people throughout Terra's(earth) history were also perpetual.(very very rare) Perpetuals heal, regenerate, from anything, and live eternally.
VULKAN is the only primarch that got that gene from the emperor.
The emperor sought out and tried to work with perpetuals to help guide humans from the shadows. Malcador was an example, as was Erda, the primarchs mother. (The lady who worked with the emperor to make the primarchs) She was the one, who actually sent the primarchs out into space to random spaces. It wasnt chaos.
Also Dan Abnett, (author of Eisenhorn, Gaunts Ghosts, many Horus Heresy books, etc) explained the Emperors being A perpetual means he is constantly dieing and coming back to life in the most hoorrible painful way. WHILE they could let him die and he would come back to life, the amount of time it would take without psychic sacrifice would essentially allow Terra to be destroyed and the astronomican forever lost.
accept your fate, the rabbit hole will never end
As an 90s kid that grew up with warhammer, this is my new past time now: watchung newcomers get into the lore
It's hilarious how much the "20 sons, no wait, 18 sons" thing passes by people doing reaction vids of Bricky every time
Can I get an explanation on this 🤔
@@Ashewyn 2 Primarchs (the 2nd and 11th Primarch) were ripped from existence.
For an unknown reason the Emperor made the edisct of Obliteration, that not only removed them from current duty, but removed them from all historic reference in the imperium. The knowledge of them was also believed to be wiped from the memory of the imperium, by the Emperor.
We have no idea what they did to receive this judgement.
From time to time the primarchs, who seem to be the only ones who remember them, outside Malcador and the emperor, who make references of them.
Through several references many believe that the Ultramarines and WorldBearers picked up the remnants of the legions after their Primarchs received the Edict of Obliteration. (can't be proven)
Their also random hints in books that one may be imprisoned on terra. (once again its hints, and nothing that is proven)
@@Ashewyn In the Imperium of the current age, the commoner knows the Emperor had 9 sons. But that is of course imperial propaganda, because the imperium is denying that Chaos and Demons exist, so they redacted knowledge about the traitor legions.
The highest elite, spacemarines and inquisitors know there actually was 18 sons as they know about chaos, and the Horus Heresy.
But that is yet another half-truth as the final layer is the Emperor made 20 sons, but something happened to the last 2 that was so horrible or so secretive that knowledge of them was expunged in every conceivable way. Even the reader aren't privvy to that information. Only the Primarchs and the ones who knew the Emperor personally knows about them, but it is very rarely mentioned.
Also, it might actually be 21 in total as the Alpha Legion may or may not have twins serving as dual Primarchs, but also pretending to be the same one.
And so that is why we always have to joke about it whenever we mention the Emperors sons...
It was 21, no, 20, no, 18, no, 9......
@@hyenascarHEY!We don't talk about them!😡😡😡 that's heresy next door!
The meta reason for Games Workshop not detailing the 2nd and 11th legions was supposedly to leave it open for players to invent their own. But then soon after, the lack of information was retconned to the legions being purposefully obliterated in-universe.
Personally, my headcanon is that it was some official GW artist throwing a fit at having to differentiate the roman numeral 2 (II) from the number 11 in gothic-style script on tiny space marine shoulder pads, and saying "eff that, they don't exist."
7 billion (which is our current approximate population) seems huge to you.
In the world of 40K, that's a statistic. There are single wars whose body count is more than 70 countries' worth of population, and that can happen daily (hence the Imperial Guard meme of "120 million dead, 3 inches of ground gained, total victory"). There are people (yes, I'm talking about us humans, unaugmented) who can just glass an entire planet or multiple planets for that matter.
A single rogue trader often has billions of subjects
Well around 1.000.000. planets. 32.000 of which are hive worlds with an average of 85.000.000.000 citicen.
That means Hive world alone boast 2 720 000 000 000 000 people. Not to meantion Terra is apparently a continuous hive city, which would mean 95% of the imperiums population lifes there. Whatever the case our minds (and those of Wh40k authors) are ill equipet to comprehend what those numbers truely mean.
The population of Holy Terra (Earth) in 40k is 4 Quadrillion people. There's probably single city blocks on Terra that have more than the entire population of modern Earth in them.
@@TheTyrannicScholar I thought the Imperium population was in the trillions, not quadrillions. I legitimately don't think you could even physically fit that many humans on the planet, even if you had a Coruscant level of planet-wide metropolis. At quadrillions, statistically you'd have complete strangers be identical twins (and multiples, at that) by pure probability. Trillions of humans across a million worlds is pretty feasible. But quadrillions is a factor that just doesn't even make sense.
Warhammer is one of the largest and most influential franchises that you have never heard of.
People in the military play Warhammer.
Warcraft was meant to be a Warhammer fantasy game and star craft was meant to be a Warhammer 40k game
And if you think Warhammer 40k is big. It is dwarfed by Warhammer fantasy.
There are soooo many things that Warhammer has influenced. So much of our culture is effected by this one thing that you will never believe it.
It's nice to see that there are new people interested in the Warhammer 40k universe.
It's been mentioned in the comments, but this way of familiarising yourself when you're constantly distracted is not conducive to memorisation. Most of the information you probably just skipped over.
Thanks so much for sharing these videos with us.
If I’m enjoying myself i go back and watch more on my own time ☺️ plus I’m planning on checking out the books so it will reinforce what i briefly learned. Of course there are better ways to digest it but it is exciting to do it with others.
@@Ashewyn You seemed to pick up a ton more than most people first introduced. The fact that you were predicting consequences to things before Bricky even got to them was refreshing. Some people try to learn and fail, but you were paying attention and putting things together. Clearly you WERE learning.
Somebody said about E that “he was doing good things for bad reasons”. Completely false. He was doing good and bad things, for good reasons, usually via bad methods.
Depends on how you want to interpret it. For all we know the Emperor arranged the Horus heresy to happen so that he could be worshipped as a god for ten millenia and eventually ascend into true godhood. Of course anyone who would really believe that is a super heretic but you know someone could say that.
@@matteusvirtanen392 ahem ahem dark king ahem ahem
@@นลิณีจันทร์คง legion of the damned would support this.
34:46 the reaction is that Horus was the first OFFICIALLY found son…. Unofficially it was Alpharius/Omegon who were found first… there is a reason for this….
Idk who recommended Weshammer, but i wouldn't watch him to learn lore, he only reads things at face value and doesn't really understand what he's reading.
I'd recommend Baldermort, he's fun to listen to because he's a voice actor and his lore I've always found correct
Arbitor Ian would be another recommendation, since he's been around the hobby since the days of Rogue Trader, which means he knows how the lore has evolved throughout the settings history.
Bricky is the perfect choice if you want to get a summary of the whole 40K universe.
He is cool. Lutein09 and boldermort are the best for deep accurate lore
prefer luetin, but you need to really enjoy lore dumps with less humour
@@warangelthelight2077Boldemort sure. Luetin does a good job sounding like an ultimate authority and rereads passages like a proffesional voice actor for audio book, but he very often includes outdated or very dubious "lore" to pad the runtime
@@fvoarin1307 everyone has a different style.
@@thewingedone1172 gotcha still think he does best. That and amber king. Templin institute is more of a movie trailer lore
congratulations Guardswoman Ashewyn.
For more answers watch and react to Bricky's "Every WH40k Faction explained" and " Every Space Marine Legion explained" Video, or you will be ordered to Bayonett charge that Chaos Warlord Titan, emerging from the Horizon.
May the Emperor protect.
I will be checking out both of these soon!
Just came across your channel. Been a 40k fan since 2006 and watching you learn about it makes me feel like I’m being introduced to it all over again and I love it
That’s how I feel sharing my first time reactions with a long term fan base, it’s so exciting to see how much people love the universe and their excitement amplifies my own. It truly is special ✨
@@Ashewyncan I suggest something to watch next?
@@hunteruniacke9900 sure! I’ve had fans give me long lists of recommendations as well haha. I’ve seen the Astartes animation that was made by one person?? That was wild and amazing.
@@Ashewyn ok you’re in good hands lol what are you streaming on I’ll just join it and watch it live. I trust my 40 k community it’s they will lead you in the right direction
@@hunteruniacke9900 twitch.tv/ashewyn 🫡 but I also stream games on here every now and then too.
In the universe of WH40k, eveyone is the hero of their own tragedy.
Ok, First to be found;
Horus is the first *Official* Primarch found,
But
In the Galactic game of keepaway, the Primarch of the 20th Legion was Split into Twins. One landing back on -REDACTED- and the other Vanishing into the Warp.
The first and the last: -REDACTED- (Alpha and Omega)
-REDACTED- stayed on -REDACTED-and was raised by -REDACTED- but was kept hidden from the people and even from his Brothers as they were found.
So the -REDACTED- was *Technically* the first found.
THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE HIGH INQUISITION, GLORY TO THE GOD EMPEROR!
Hope this helps 😂
Cheers!
-Alpharious- ... Oops missed one..
Hydra Dominatus.
This Warrior Tier history video is easily the best one out there.
Slaanesh's birth was so impactful it created a tear in reality leading to the Warp called the Eye of Terror (now a literal crack separating the galaxy into east and west called the Cicitrix Maledictum), plus unstable Warp storms that cut off human colonized planets from one another until the Great Crusade began.
Just in case if you actually wanted to know an rough estimate for how many people(only human pyschers) have been feed to the emperor to the current setting:
1day - 1,000
1 week - 7,000
1 month - 28,000
1 year - 336,000
10,000 years since being on the thone - 3,360,000,000
@@Chocolatethunder-yk9fv if you take the population of humanity at its lowest let’s say 7000000000 per planet there are said to be a million planets in the imperium so let’s say there are 7000000000000000 people in the galaxy there are said to be 1 psyker per million so I. The galaxy has over 7 billion psykers in the galaxy, I’ve probably underestimated the total human population. We haven’t even got into birth and death rates.
Aaaaand let's remember that the mechanisms of the Golden Throne are failing and there are a total of 10 000 pods for psykers connected to the golden throne. I can't find it now, but I'm convinced it was mentioned that now emperor requires more souls than right after his duel with Horus.
That's actually small potatoes if you compare it to the overall population of humanity. The death toll if Big E were to die would be potentially much greater because no one knows how long it might take for him to reincarnate.
Unless Earth's orbit is different in the 40k universe, there are 365.25 days in a year, not 336. (It looks like you did 4 weeks a month multiplied by 12 months, which leaves out 2 whole weeks each year. This is important to keep in mind when paying rent or negotiating pay: There is a substantial difference between "bi-weekly" and "twice-monthly.")
So the number, including leap years, would be roughly 3,652,500,000. However, at some point in late M40 to early M41, the Mechanicus started feeding the Emperor 2,000 souls a day. I don't have the relevant date to add that change to the calculation, though at this scale of carnage, it's essentially a rounding error.
41:12 so no one knows he's a perpetual, which means that no one knows that if they take him off the throne and let him die, he'll regenerate to a new fully healthy body.
There's also the issue that if he is removed from the golden throne, a warp tear will open up in the throne room unleashing uncountable hordes of daemons all across earth and potentially pulling earth itself into the warp...not a good time for anyone
So, the joke about Horus being the first Patriarch found is that the first Primarch discovered was Alpherius, who landed on Earth. He was trained in deception/infiltration and is wildly believed to be a turncoat in Chaos, as his legion keeps ruining Chaos' plans.
If you do get into the books check out Arbitor Ian and Mira Manga’s Warhammer book club, they’re great fun and she was starting as a newbie too :) but she also started interviewing the authors on her own channel!
The primarchs aren’t clones they standard test tube babies. And the emperor had actually children over the centuries

I love seeing new people navigate the 40k lore. It's dense.
WH40k is such a long-running and expansive series (it started back in the 70's) that there's a ton of lore retcons, contradictions, and inconsistencies. I mean, the writers can't even agree about whether or not Lasguns (laser rifles) have recoil. Lol.
But despite all the weirdness and imperfection, the lore of WH40k is really fun. I'm relatively new to it myself, but there really is a faction for everyone. My personal favorite Space Marine legion/chapter is the Blood Angels, my favorite Xenos faction is the Tau, and my favorite Chaos faction is the Emperor's Children.
there are tons of warhammer related art already. why AI thumbnail.
I actually had no idea! Someone just pointed it out and I’m going to edit it tonight to change it. Thanks for letting me know 🫡
@@Ashewyn no probs ^^, happens to a lot of people. it is getting harder to figure out which one is real unless you are already familiar with warhammer sometimes. even finding art references is getting annoyingly hard nowadays.
@@anka_art7372 Having AI art is entirely on point if someone is depicting Alpharius though. 'He doesn't look right'... Yeah, of course! That's the point of disguises.
horus is no longer dead dead, thats been retconned, part of horus soul is now being tortured for eternity by the chaos gods
Source? Because the end and the death part 3 makes it pretty clear that the emperor obliterated horus' soul
Ew! AI art thumbnail! Ew!
Oh what?? Is the space marine art actually AI generated?? I’ll change the thumbnail immediately if it is.
@@Ashewyn It fully seems to be, as the art style doesn't match when marines wore that style of helmet. I'd need to see it in full size to be certain. Shoulder details also feel very random and AI like, and I can only see a little bit of the chest aquilla but it also seems incorrect.
Thanks a lot. A true fan would see through it immediately. I’ll be changing it tonight 🫡
The light of the Emperor once again shine his light on another blessed youtuber
The Eldar were created by the Old Ones to battle the Necrons
Specifically, to attempt to use the energies of the Warp as a weapon, since this was a weakness of the C'Tan
So the Old Ones chose to give them heightened emotions so that they would make the Warp more powerful, which would then make any Psyker's more powerful
The Old Ones didn't exactly have a plan for what would happen after a few million years
I kind of wish, even though it would break some of the immersion of the second video, that it prefaced a lot of the stuff about the Emperor as speculation instead of just the word myth…myths usually have a bit of truth within the exaggerated fiction, but the thing is pretty much everything about the Emperor is just speculation and nothing more. Most of the history of humanity is long gone…and the parts that aren’t that feature the Emperor are either redacted or have been personally purged by the Ecclesiarchy. The reason being is that the Emperor never wanted to be seen as a God. In fact, one of the major factors that caused the Horus Heresy, among many others…was because he wanted the Imperium to be secular and not worship any Gods and one of his Primarchs and their marines (Lorgar and the World Bearers) were harshly dealt with by the Emperor himself and basically embarrassed in front of the entire Imperium as an example.
In essence, a lot of exaggerations had to be made to make the people believe he was a God among the fear of heresy and prosecution. So the thing about him being made up of a bunch of shamans…may be true may not be true…him making a deal with the Chaos Gods? Could have happened but more unlikely than the first…the Chaos Gods feared him as the only being that could permanently destroy them…they even refer to him as “Anathema”.
Lastly, the Emperor could by all means become a God if he wasn’t one already…did he want to be one? No. Did he think of himself as one? No. Did he have some powers that made him seem like one to the average human and to even beings as powerful as his Primarchs and space marines? Absolutely.
He already knew the Chaos Gods were up to no good so I can’t see him ever making any sort of pact with them for any sort of power and he’s the only being within humanity that couldn’t be corrupted by their influence so it kind of doesn’t make any sense in that way either.
If you want to see something from the perspective of the space marines, watch Helsreach. It's a fan adaptaion of one of the better books available on youtube.
this guy in chat seems to know a few things about wh40k but he doesnt know who bricky is? lol strange
The Necrontyr fell prey to the ultimate Faustian bargain.
The tech priests hunt the Galaxy reclaiming lost technologies from the golden age
The Infinite and the Divine is Grumpy Old Men, but Warhammer.
Warhammer 40k is decades older than other games. You can see a lot of warhammer inspiration in other games
When you asked what the Chaos gods gained by giving the emporer and by extension humanity the ability to travel the warp and expand across the stars. Think of the state of the Galaxy at that point. The Eldar basically own everywhere. There is no war, Khorne is not a fan of that. There is no change in a stagnant empire, Tzeentch not a fan. The Eldar are immortal, there is no decay and rebirth for Nurgle.
The chaos gods needed humanity to feed their own power.
😥
41:42 did the math, basically over the 10k years hes been on the throne, hes consumed the souls of 3.65 billion psykers, which sounds like alot, but keep in mind humanity at this time has a galactic population of quintillions
Yeah but without knowing how many people are psychers, how many we need and what for we can't tell if it's nothing or a critical loss.
@@yaelz6043 3.6 billion, out if humanities total quintillion, is 0.00000036% if humanities population over the course of 10k years, I know psykers aren't literally everywhere, but they are FAR from that rare
A lot of authors have a real problem with scale when you start talking about big numbers, and they always use too small numbers.
When you compare the 1k psykers each day to the average death toll each day during WW2, you realize just how astronomically small of a number that is for a galaxy spanning empire.
Thanks for doing the math, someone else mentioned psykers are only 1 in 100,000. Still weird to use humans as a fuel source when they are not THAT in abudance 💀For the emperor I guess?
@Ashewyn well, it's because they have to bring them to holy Terra to be sacrificed, and 99% of the time they are so indoctrinated that they willingly go to be sacrificed, the only other races with psykers are orks and aldari, bringing an ork to Terra would be a terrible decision, and the aldari are so few in numbers and would take so much effort to capture and bring, it's not worth it
I am by no means a lore aficionado, but here's my theory on why the Chaos gods might bestow the knowledge of Warpcraft to the Emperor of Man. The Chaos gods are aware of the Necrons, of the mechanical and soulless nature of their being. If the Necrons re-emerge from their 65 million year sleep and take over the galaxy(their previous enemies of the Eldar having been significantly weakened), that represents a substantial diminishing of the fueling of the Warp with souls and emotion.
Understanding the ambitions of the Emperor, and understanding as well the volatility of human emotion and susceptibility of humanity to influences derived from the Warp, the Chaos gods willingly provide the Emperor with the knowledge of Warpcraft, in order to put a suitable opposing force in place for the Necron's re-emergence. This also can explain why the Chaos gods flung the Primarchs throughout the galaxy, as this would trigger the Emperor to expand humanity's unified presence in the galaxy as the Emperor sought out his children, conquering areas in which humanity existed during the Age of Strife but had not yet been brought under the Emperor's unifying control. This expansion would also likely allow humanity to discover the Necron tomb worlds, and would allow humanity to engage the Necrons piecemeal, as discovered and during their hibernation, rather than in a single re-emergence event across all Necron tomb worlds, giving humans a better chance to deal with the Necron threat.
All of this suits the Chaos gods' purpose to strengthen their position, both within the Warp and without. The price of the knowledge provided to the Emperor essentially is the unwilling or willing service of humanity in the future against beings which may not be as susceptible to or productive for the Warp and Chaos as humanity is. It's the long game.
Others here are probably far more knowledgeable on the lore than I, though. Feel free to correct me, if that theory isn't consistent with known doctrine.
my option the best general start in wh40k is bricky Every Fraction explained, that gives a nice overview over the hole lore.
I think I'll be checking this out next!
Honestly Bricky and Warrior Tier is a great first one two combo for an introduction to warhammer
Ok, your reaction;
TLDR; thought out and Fantastic!
As this bloated landslide of Information crashed into you, you took the time to ask questions of the universe, not looking for direct answers, but simply to have the pondering.
Well done. The simple questions you asked made me tilt my head and think about if for a sec. It made me smile.
I have answered questions about 40k and lore and tabletop for nearly a decade and in that time very few have asked a question that stopped me and had me question it. Again, well done.
With your inquisitiveness and interest in how things function behind the scenes, you will go far when it comes to understanding this lore.
I welcome you, and look forward to answering your questions.
Books; i started a while back with the Audiobooks, busy life but with time to listen,
Infinite and the Divine, a story of Necrons
Horus Rising, The start of a 55 book saga.
Assassinorum king maker, espionage bonanza.
Hope this Helps.
Cheers!

Thank you for the recommendations 🙏
Based, played Soulstorm!
The Emperor is a bloody lord and not the nicest but he had true love for Humanity as a whole.
Its part of why the Emperor is so interesting. He (might) love humanity as a whole but cannot bond with individual humans, struggling to do so even with the sons he handcrafted. The closest thing the Emperor has to a friend is Malcador.
And while I prefer the Emperor to remain mostly mysterious and ambiguous, I do love speculating on whether he was truly doing this for altruistic reasons, or whether the Emperor really just thought that it had to be done and he was the guy to do it.
Having 1000 psychotics to sacrifice a day is not a problem. The Imperium has millions of worlds, with a population estimated (at least) in the tens of trillions. Although I would be more likely to several sextillion. however, on average there is one psychotic per 100,000 people.
I imagine the well would eventually dry up with how rare they are, would it not? Is that not a concern in the Imperium?
@@Ashewyn We might call them rare by our standards. There are more classes of psychotics, in some sectors of the Imperium, seen as useful, in others accepted. In some stories there is an increasing need to feed the throne. If memory serves me well, in the sixth edition of the code, we speak of a fourfold number.
42:20 there are millions of worlds in the Imperium, each varying in population, but for comparison 21st century earth's population is 8 billion. Even if psykers manifested in just 0,1% of humans, its easy to maintain a supply from a population of several quadrillions. And the Astronomicon is key because without it, space travel becomes impossible. Without it the imperium would falter and humanity would regress to the age of strife.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot 🥺
Bricky DID mention the AI rebellion back at the part of Slaanesh's birth. You just missed it because you talked over him. He didn't explain anything about it because it didn't need much explanation. We've all heard of this story trope many times already. And also because this video it's a "short" summary of the WH40K timeline.
The demon possession thing chat mentioned is also another possible reason for the rebellion.
Hence, AI being outlawed because they don't want a repeat of their rebellion.
The Emperor wasn't a nice guy by any stretch of the word. I think he could best be described as a utilitarian. While he was no saint, I argue that he is the closest thing to Jesus Christ incarnate in the Warhammer 40k universe and how Warhammer 40k would portray him. Not because he was purely good or kind, but I figure that this is how Jesus Christ would go about it if he were placed in the Warhammer 40k universe with his "infinite love for man." And man specifically. Not all life. Not all intelligent life. Not all sentient life. Just mankind. His goal would undoubtedly be with all his failings(because he wasn't actually God, but mortal kind of I guess) try to save mankind and secure our future with whatever means necessary.
The Emperor will use any all means at his disposal for his goal. His children, other people, even himself. The fact that he goes through penance for at least ten thousand years slowly withering away while straining to keep the demons at bay, arduously powering the astronomicon(as powering it is no easy feat),and manipulating people psychically across the galaxy to pull the strings of fate towards a better outcome for humanity, we can definitely say he is dedicated to his cause. Yes, you can even argue that in a sense he is selfless. Very selfish whenever it concerns the safety of the whole of humanity. But utterly selfless individually. If that's not how Warhammer 40k would portray Jesus Christ, then I don't think anything else comes even close. Not the perfect Jesus Christ we wanted, but the one we got in a hellscape that is the Warhammer universe.
Bricky said that the Astronomicon is basically like the North Star (in our sky). If you didn't get that immediately, what he's saying is that it is used for *navigation* and just like the North Star, it is the reference point in the Warp which you figure out where you should go. On Earth, we do star navigation (using the night sky as a map) while out in space, they do Warp navigation. This is why the Astronomicon is so important. Imagine flying blind in the hellish mess that is the Warp. It's possible to do that without the Emperor's help but it's just really difficult. They need it to know where to go.
Emps is pretty much da epitome of the trope " an asshole wid a heart of gold " He really does geniunelly care 4 humanity, but as a whole. So any individual sense of caring is thrown outta da window for him, too focused on mankind's survival as a whole.
Its like the man has gained and grew too much power throughout the millenias he's been around. That he's grown detached to wat is to be human, to the species he cares 4 most and wants to save, which is kinda ironic
Slaanesh was created due to the overwhelming amount of debauchery committed in the material galaxy and inside the Webway (this is where the city of Commoragh is). The Webway is that "purgatory" you were talking about. This alternate psychic dimension was actually created by The Old Ones, the dudes that got killed by the C'Tan and Necrons. Before the whole war in heaven, The Old Ones used the Webway as their main mode of travel. The Eldari discovered the Webway and since The Old Ones aren't around anymore, they pretty much appropriated it for themselves.
I'm assuming Trazyn didn't know but humanity actually met the Eldar & Orks back in the golden of age technology.
I feel like bricky skips over a LOT of stuff here. Understandably so. There are people that have been into this for 20 years and even they can't remember everything. but In this video he kinda glosses over a lot and gets to the horus heresy and the leaves it there when in reality theres a bunch that happens inbetween that leads up to the imperium going from its secular dictatorship in 30k to much more medieval holy Roman empire esque aesthetic later, namely the war of the beast and beheading happening right after the heresy at the same time religious cults to the emperor were picking up.
His description of life in the imperium is also misleading, although maybe accurate for degraded hive worlds and worlds where the adeptus Terra (imperial government) has a significant presence, in reality the imperiums governing power isn't total and a lot of it is delegated to local planetary governments that all have their own laws and customs which allows for pretty much any story and setting you could think of
34:38 The reason you see Alpharius swapping with Horus is because conically Alpharius was the first son to be found, on terra. The fact the Emperor found Alpharius first, was kept a secret from the imperium and he was also responsible for finding most of his brothers to reunite them with the Emperor. Just a reminder, the whole shtick about the alpha legion is subterfuge and misdirection. Each Primarch had their own purpose in the imperium as each son takes on a quality of the Emperor (Russ was the executioner, Fulgrim was perfection, and so on. Alpharius was the keeper of secrets). So by imperial records, Horus was the first son found, but really it was Alpharius.
When he said the first son to be found was Horus, and then he made a funny face and showed Alpharius for a second. It's because maybe Alpharius got yeeted to just another place on Terra and was actually found first, but because his role is infiltration he was kept a secret.
Keep in mind that it is canonically accurate that holy terra alone has several quadrillion people living on it! The imperium is absolutely astonishing in terms of population.
The imperium doesn't even have 1 quadrillion period. There's 30 trillion guardsmen in the imperium at all times. The imperium has a population in the 10's to hundreds of trillions. 1 quadrillion is equal to 1 million trillions. 1 trillion is already an obcenly large number. It would take you 32'000 years just to count to 1 trillion because it's equal to 1 million billion.
@@PhthaloGreenskin The Imperium has way more than that. Terra having a population in the Quadrillions is referenced in at least two books. The total number of Guardsman is also never given, because even the Imperium wouldn't know that figure themselves.
" I am alone again now. Strange to say that, surrounded as I am by the quadrillions of the Throneworld, and yet it is truer now than it has ever been."

"Spinoza shivered. The air was as caustic as ever, but so high up it had lost its punishing heat. The humidity was still present, though - the massed respiratory results of the quadrillions down in their warrens, those narrow worlds of damp and desperation. She had left her helm locked to her armour, and the clammy gale ruffled through her short hair. Every so often a buffet would catch her, a swell of pressure that threatened to shove her over the edge."

The lawnmower kinda fits its place in the video since the necrons are basically the 40 k equivalent to the old man moving the lawn who yells at kids to get off his property while shaking his fist in the air 😂
I used to watch your My dress up darling videos they were really good. Then you popped up in my feed talking about warhammer, so I had to see what's up 😊
Guants Ghosts if you want a very human experience. Basically band of brothers in 40k. Or Horus Rising
If you really like deep diving into 40k especially on the psychological of things, you must consult our lord lore master, luetin09.
twitch streamers are hard to watch on youtube cuz they dont actually watch the video, they talk to their "fans"
I didn’t intend for this to be a react, my anime reactions are purely for RUclips. After watching lore with my twitch channel I just thought it would be fun to upload on RUclips. Sorry, I can’t always make everyone happy 🫡
Always good to see people checking out 40k lore, if you end up taking the plunge and learning about each of the Primarchs and sort of working down the hierarchy of Emperor > Primarch > Space Marine, I would recommend The Amber King, Baldermort's guide to Warhammer, Warrior Tier and A Vox in the Void, These channels on RUclips have fantastic lore videos and original short stories that have quality narration and Voice acting. I shan't take too much of your time however, Do enjoy yourself in the wild world of Warhammer and thank you for the video.
There was a load of extra info the chat added to the video while watching it, that only confused and distracted you.
I know it was well meant, but it didn't make anything better.
Necrons who like being robots unable to feel, eat or sleep slowly lose their personality and quirks that make them an individual
The necrons that become obsessive over details and subjects , Like Trazyn here with his museums, keeps their minds occupied and functioning
Just having a favorite color is considered an achievement for necrons
Please don't listen to your chat when they try to explain. 99% of people who talk about WH40K with confidence doesn't really know anything.
Space Marine was definitely a good game but I don't know if you actually "need" to play it before you play Space Marine 2. Now if you want to have the one plot twist actually feel impactful in the SM2 campaign it would be necessary to play the first game but other than that one very specific instance I can't think of anything that would require knowledge of the first game in order to enjoy the second. That being said, the enemies in Space Marine are far more talkative than the enemies in Space Marine 2 so there is a lot of comic relief mid battle which you certainly won't get from the Tyranids 😅
The first video didn't explain the fall of humanity well. First, humanity reached its technological peak during the Dark Age of Technology. Then came the Cybernetic Wars, where humans nearly went extinct fighting AI. During this time, Slaanesh hadn't been born yet, but their emergence was building, causing warp storms that disrupted FTL travel. This is the Age of Strife, humanity isolated and fragmented after their war against the machines. When Slaanesh finally appeared, the warp storms subsided, making FTL travel possible again. It was at this moment that the Emperor revealed himself.
it is important to note that:
C'tan=/=gods, old ones=/=gods, warp entities="gods"
C'tan were so powerful that you "could" say they are gods, but not compareable to the entities called "chaos gods"
The old ones were basically "the first sapients" (iirc), so it wasnt like those were also gods, they were just so advanced that they came across as "godly", not gods though, just so advanced that you'd think they are.
the warp entities... who knows what exactly those are...
warrior tier? eh. The guy is ok, but gets into the bad role of just copy/pasting content from the wiki word for word. If you really want to get into the lore (basically after a while, and you actually love the universe). Then Luetin's videos are a way better shout
Bricky for a person who's new who wants a more entertaining gloss of lore. Luetin for the deep lore
However, Luetin is literally 51:33. He is the best lore youtuber out there, but the videos are INCREDIBLY dense, and some find them dry (again if you're not really into the lore)
🎉to explain the warp and warp storms, think about the warp like an ocean and a warp storm as a hurricane. If there is hurricanes everywhere you can try to sail into that but your most likely going to destroy your ship. In warp travel, it's that but on top of everything you get invaded by daemons and/or the warp strips your soul out of your body.
With the astronomican and why the Emperor needs to be on that throne, the warp doesn't follow physics. So like up is down, left is right, and time is fluid. So "north" is constantly moving. You need that north star to do any type of long range warp jump without suffering a horrific fate. One thing most captains say is death is the absoulte best thing that can happen to you on a bad jump.
Unpopular opinion:
Don't think Bricky's the best intro for the lore tbh. That video was all over the place, even me just catching up to the lore made me even more confused. He's going on tangents that are redundant to the subject matter instead of actual brief overviews of each faction.
You can react to majorkills videos about Warhammer 40k it's short, funny, and on point i recommend each primarchs powers explained
Its like 3,650,000,000 Souls the emperor has consumed if the math is 1000 souls per day for 10,000 years.
Can you react to Space Marine Creation/Recruitment by Luetin09 & The Imperium's 10 Worst Jobs
Caiphas Cain is blackadder, but warhammer. Its pretty funny actually.
you don't need to play the first space marine game for the second one to make sense
Honestly after playing both I 100% would have been confused by so much had I not watched the timeline. Specifically about races.
@@Ashewyn Being confused about everything happening when one of the enemies are servants of Tzeentch is surprisingly ENITIRELY on point within this universe xD
Bricky does do some errors and is not completely updated on the lore, some of the stuff he mentions is very old outdated lore which is sadly what a lot of other people also are stuck on. The people you chat with on twitch (not all) are also stuck in +30 year old lore and do not read any of the books.
The Primarchs Mom Erda flicked the Switch that scattered the Primarchs.
*allegedly
A beautifully tragic video is by warrior tier and its the war for armaggedon.
Calling Ta'u a weebs it's like calling space communist Chinese as Japanese. lol..
remember the rule of warhammer. Everything is cannon, but not everything is true.
Humanity at its peak was during the dark age of technology, much knowledge on how that tech worked was lost. I think the golden throne was dark age tech . Which is why most tech in the 41st millennium is seen as holy
You should check out baldermorts guide to warhammer channel, so many bangers in there. Thunder warrior's video he did is great, dark angels lore is also awesome.
Horus soul being destroyed is no longer canon. As in the horus heresy book Horus just dies, while he speaks to someone.
Lots of stuff in Warhammer is retconned, 3rd edition necrons lore is much better than their current lore for instance
One thing I do not understand is how the warp is existing from the beginning with no life in the universe.
welcome to 40k, but skipping that gamersupps ad is heresy
ashewyn u should look up corvus corax lore video by the remembrancer
I hate when reactors talk over all the information and then ask questions that were already answered.
18:38 a very interesting idea. One that hopefully will be explored in the lore.
no leagues of votann? they are always ignored :( best faction ever are the squats
Ok, I will watch all this video later. Probably in the night.
29:51 earth before slannesh’s birth…. 100 billion people and no agriculture… after Slannesh’s birth 100 billion people and no agriculture and no way to get food delivered…. But here’s the good part… there’s plenty of food just walking around, if you’re hungry enough.
GRIM DARK!
😱
The emperor isn't a bad dude, he's just antisocial.
WELCOME SISTER! To the emperor’s embrace! MAY THE EMPERORS light shine your way!
The Emperor protects.
