Kids. If a Tech-Priest tells you he has candy in his vehicle, just run.
*YOU DARE OPPOSE THE WILL OF THE OMNISSIAH?!?!?!*
Kids if a tech preist- just fucking run.
No no no, don’t run! We are definitely not looking for new specimens for a bigger cherub! Just enter the van for sweetened, crystallized corpse-dust
@@magoswes3588 Sweetened Crystalized Corpse Dust sounds like a narly bag of blow... get's you higher than weed and more active than cocaine XD

"What is my purpose?"
"You crack eggs at weddings."
... "Oh my Emperor."

Welcome to grimdark.
Comparatively, not a terrible fate. Least there’s no one shoving a metal spike up your ass and lighting you on fire. With warp magic keeping you alive for millennia. It’s all a matter of perspective.

Quick, hide your formography....
OOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooo
Ah servitors, the tech priests' answer to: "We need robots but we can't have A.I." dilemma
It is similar to the Ecclesiarchy being forbidden from having "men under arms."
More like, we need slaves that cannot rebel.

In the 41st millenium one does not simply change a lightbulb.
Do you have a litany of changing of the light? Appropriate incense?
Glow globes potentially last for centuries or millennia, replacing one because it simply burned out is a rare occurrence.
One must become the lightbulb in 40 K... XD

Customer: Hello tech support I,m calling because my servitor is malfunctioning
Tech support: what seems to be the problem ?
Customer : I'm trying to dictate to it and all it writes is "I'm in pain, I'm in pain, I'm in pain"
Tech support : have you tried turning it on and off again?
Well, of course your servitor doesn't work properly if it's turned off.
Though, how would the average imperial citizen react if a servitor suddenly expressed that it was in extreme, constant agony for possibly centuries.
@@ignatz14 There is a scene in " The Unremembered Empire" Horus Heresy book where John Grammaticus being a psyker states that he can feel the very soul of the servitors screaming out in agony begging for death.

also "treath", in that instant your left hand was acting faster than your right hand.
A fail-safe instinct compels you to report to the servitor maintenance district and seek out an Artisan for repair and recalibration.
Not quite. Whilst most of the Borg technology would be vase benefit, since the Borg, as a whole, use a hive mind to control its individual drones. Wouldn't the hive mind itself, at first sight, be seen as a form of AI, therefore illegal?
As for the Federation, although human-led. Allowing Xenos to live as equals within its borders, the use (to the point of overreliance) of limited dumb AI, the allowance of a Soong-type android to exist and have equal rights. would have a commissioner signing off an exterminates order post hast.
@@scotibot7450 Most 40/Trek crossovers would end up in:

Tech Priest Huggbees: The still living criminal is then amputated, and their mouths are usually covered before this process to silence their agonized screams. Afterwards they are given implants in their head which causes them to feel even worse pain, but with no external reactions, these are criminals, after all.
Servitor: What is my function?
Acolyte Rick: You pass butter

That's the thing with warhammer: The most cruel and disturbing shit in any other story is just mundane everyday business here.
Arco-flagellation is a good example of the Grim Dark:
"Piezo-edged bone saws extruded from the arms of the throne and sliced through his wrists with ultra-rapid precision. Blood jetted explosively, but even as the agony cut through his diminishing chemical haze, cauterising heat was brought to bear, sealing the stumps with a single pulse of agonising heat. As horrifying as the removal of his hands had been, it was nothing compared to what came next.
Clicking machines with calliper hands like the nightmarish claws of a demented toymaker began stripping the skin, muscle and nerve tissue from his forearms all the way to the elbow. Surgical flesh-weavers layered replacement nerve-strands over the reinforced bone and grafted fibre-bundle muscle in place of the discarded organic tissue.
His chest heaved and his limbs thrashed against the restraints. They simply tightened in response. He couldn’t move. He could only watch as his entire body was pared back and remade. Sealed caskets rotated up from the floor and opened with pneumatic hisses of condensing air. The monotonous stream of binaric nonsense the tech-priests were chanting faltered fractionally as the caskets opened to reveal the weapons within.
Such awesome tools of destruction required reverence.
Through a haze of tears and hate, he watched two of the machine priests step forwards and attach the devices to his arms using implanted bolt-drivers, neural shears, flesh grafts and sacred unguents. He felt every insertion, every bolt driving down into bone and every screaming horror of exposed nerves being spliced together. A burst of power surged through him, and telescoping carbon-steel electro-flails twitched and danced as ancient, barely-understood circuitry meshed with his crude organic functionality. The gurney tipped backwards, and the drills, excising machinery and clamps went to work on his skull. Trepanning picks bored through bone and the clicking, mechanised hands inserted neural control implants before finally removing the upper dome of his skull. He felt the lid of bone creaking upwards and the horror of his mind being exposed was almost too much to bear.
Sacred arrangements of sacred oil were dripped into his brain cavity, with each anointing accompanied by the sixteen names of the binary saints. Spinning orbs with mechanical blade limbs as thin as spider legs clicked into place before him, whirring with demented glee.
No, no, no, no, not my-
The whirring orbs stabbed forwards and plucked out his eyes.
This is not my body! This is not my body! This is not my body! This is not my body! This is not my body! This is not my body! This is not my body! This is not my body! This is not my body!
Delicate clamps kept his optic nerves taut as complex targeting arrays, broad-spectrum threat analysers and visio-cognitive orbs were attached in place of his eyes and implanted into his skull. A cranial cowl that was part devotional feed, part cortical inhibitor and part death-mask was slotted home, lowered over his slack features and wired to the frontal lobes of what remained of his brain as hymnals blared from unseen augmitters. Like the grinning skull faceplates of the Chaplains of the Adeptus Astartes, it was the rictus agony of the Emperor, and all those whose doomed fate it was to look upon him would know he had been punished by an agency beyond that of mere men. Detailed schematics of the body-plans of the men before him sprang up on the inner surfaces of his eyes, complete with endurable stresses, violation tolerances and a hundred other measures of how they could be ripped into screaming ruin.
The work continued for another hour, agony upon agony, horror upon horror, until there was little sign that a human being had once sat in the throne-gurney. The mortal meat of Lukasz Król had been scraped away and replaced with an instrument of death and annihilation. Only Abrehem remained and even he was a ravaged shell, cored out by the same processes that had made sport of this man’s flesh.
Yet even as his consciousness wept and wished for extinction, he felt the soaring ecstasy of having the power of life and death. For all intents and purposes, he was no longer human, his body enhanced to lethal levels of killing power and stripped back to the most basic physiological functions.
Lukasz Król had effectively ceased to exist, and in his place sat something else.
Something altogether more dangerous and more appalling. ‘It is done,’ said the pontifex, with a solemn nod, stepping forwards and dipping his fingers in an inkhorn of sanctified pigment that a genuflecting tech-priest held out before him. He drew four parallel lines of crimson down the skull mask.
‘In Thor’s Blood are ye anointed. In Thor’s Blood shall ye awaken,’ said the pontifex.
Rivulets of paint slid down the mask like tears of blood, dripping onto a chest that now bulged with cardio-pulmonary enhancers, adrenal-slammers and dormant steroidal compounds. Spinal implants snaked down his back in a chain of injectors, and stimm-reservoirs on his shoulders gave him a hulking, over-muscled proportion to his upper body.
He was a killer now, a render of flesh, a weapon and an act of retribution all in one.
Abrehem revelled in this new incarnation, a being of almost unlimited violent potential to whom no atrocity was beyond his capabilities, no loathsome act of utmost cruelty beneath him. With all need for moral pretence torn away, Abrehem saw the full horror of what Lukasz Król had done, the torture palaces, the rape gulags and the experimentation camps where he had personally overseen all manner of unimaginable affronts to the Emperor.
This was good.
They thought they had taken away his life and made him their own, but they were wrong.
The killer had always been in him.
All they had done was strip the mask of humanity away to rebuild him stronger and more lethal than ever.
‘I take from you the name of Lukasz Król,’ said the pontifex, dipping his hand in the pigment once more and drawing another series of four vertical lines down Król’s chest. The ablative polymer coatings introduced to his dermal layers made the skin feel hard and plastic.
Abrehem watched the pontifex check the serial identifier codes on the requisition form held out by another of the tech-priests and verify them against the name the doctrinal abaci had generated. ‘I dub thee Rasselas X-42, and may the Emperor have mercy on your soul.’"
Holy shit

Warhammer 40K uses Star Treks Borgs as a servents.
Honestly the term “fate worse than death” could not have been more congruent when it comes to servitors
But its still one of the better fates
It takes Arch just over 40 minutes to get to the point and explain that Servitors exist because the Imperium can't use A.I.
It''s actually pretty impressive :)
Long man bad
Need to impress the point how GrimDark 40K is.

Actually pretty annoying.
@@Archmagister I know right? I was expecting he'd hold out for at least an hour! :D
if Hollywood do a 40k movie i'm pretty sure they will put servitors that rebel due to the power of friendship.
Servitor Rights Activists.
Servitors would have to be the result of a bunch of GW writers going "you know I am just not sure 40k if Grimdark *enough*, what else can we add to the misery?"
Well considering the Mechanics consider "intelligent" robots to be too close to A.I. the only other reasonable replacement would be literal slave labor or subservient slave races.
Its more like "its a cyberpunk nightmare, so we need to give room for cool AI without opening the solution of having robots and AI to do all the fighting".
Funnily enough, I was playing myself some Space Marine (
Imagine being the servitor velded to a space marine to flip the switch once the space marine died. Would maybe just be a servo-skull, though, and the Emperor knows nobody would look twice at a random skull on a space marine. Some chapters probably have a preference for using only babies ripped from the arms of their screaming mothers for such functions. "It's a sacred tradition!" they would say.
@@MrVeps1 Actually, its probably not flipping the switch. Its probably switching the frequency broadcasted. Now instead of communication, it could send an emergency signal so the chapter's apothecary can easily know and find the gene seed left behind.
If you listen closely to the oldest servitors it almost sounds like in the noises they make you could make out speech, which is impossible, and that speech is said to almost sound like the words "Kill me".
In others if you look closely you may see what appears to be water leaking from the eye sockets in small constant amounts.
That’s when you bang on it and call it a cunt. That usually fixes the problem. My servitor toilet cleaner does that all the time. Especially after bean burrito night. But a few swift kicks and it’s back to working normally again.
There's a great article on 1d4chan's mechanicus page that really explains why the AdMech is so screwed up technology wise. Basically during the Horus Heresy about half the mechanicus declared for Horus and the civil war on Mars was so inconceivably brutal that dozens of Forges on Mars were obliterated, and technical and scientific data dating back hundreds of thousand of years was simply gone or corrupted to uselesness.
The Mechanicus hasn't simply lost knowledge on how to make things, they've lost the basic understanding of many underlying technologies and only have rote repitition and the equivilant of basic instruction manuals for about everything they do. They don't try to relearn everything because they think they just have to find enough intact STC's and everything will be handed to them.
As per usual 1d4chan sums things up rather well. I rather liked their library analogy since it works rather well.

I wonder how much their suffering/fear/pain/etc... is feeding the chaos gods. Especially if they are traped in their bodys(screaming) and in a factory.
OMG, the servitors alone would have completely undermined the Emperor's plan if so. That's a damn good observation boss
@@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420 Not completely since emotion itself feeds chaos so if the servitors feeling pain would completely undermine the Emperor's plan anything living in large numbers (like humanity) would do the same. You cannot (realistically) stop humans from getting angry or having boners so some feeding Chaos would inevitably happen, the key is to minimize what is fed to it as much as possible so their influence on reality is minimized, hence the Imperial Truth and the idea that stamping out religion would clog up the feeding tube so to speak.
@@elysiankentarchy1531 You're operating under the false assumption the Emperor's plan had any hope of working at all, which it never did, precisely because of the reason you bring up. I'm actually just expressing surprise that even if it hadn't been a colossal failure from conception the servitors are yet another reason why it was a stupid, stupid, stupid, move by The Emperor.
Big E and Malcador are the two biggest idiots in 40k. With all their knowledge of the Warp and how and why it's denizens behaved the way they do, the morons thought spreading galaxy wide bloodshed, hatred, tyranny, and misery was a viable solution to weaken Chaos. The Emperor got played by the Chaos Gods when he decided to walk the path of a violent tyrant and genocidal maniac. Directed faith may be more powerful for feeding the warp but all the blood cults on all the disjointed, isolated worlds across the galaxy couldn't raise a shot glass full of blood to Khorne in comparison to the oceans spilled by the Crusade. Apply the political turmoil, intentional and unintentional spread of disease and infection, and an entire species convinced of their own inherent superiority and believing in a manifest destiny that they should have the best of everything that is actually becoming a reality in their lifetimes that came along with the Great Crusade and you have oceans more disturbance and power created in the warp than was even possible by any other race since the Eldar birthed Slaanesh. You need galaxy spanning empires for this level of horror and devastation, without a force capable of galactic conflict you're really limited in the numbers of people you can effect at a time. The Germans had arguably the best equipment of WWII, the Russians out manpowered and out produced them. Same principle applies here, dedicated cultists are the best "tech" in this example, but it loses hands down to the sheer raw power of numbers. If a murder dedicated to Khorne is a thousand times more powerful than just the little power he gains from every murder how many cultists equal a single exterminatus of a hive world?
The Imperium for the better part of 10k years has been an absolute paradise for the ruinous powers, a perfect industrialized producer of all the Chaos Gods necessary power sources. 10k years of endless bloodshed, ludicrous self indulgence, rampant disease, and political scheming and assassinations in a galaxy wide bureaucracy continually competing with itself for both institutional and personal power.
The entire concept was doomed to not only certain failure but to have the exact opposite of the intended effect of weakening Chaos. The Emperor gave the Ruinous powers a 10k year prescription for steroids.
Horus claimed to have taken what power he wanted from the Chaos Gods, people say the Emperor tricked or outsmarted them when he used the Warp to help create the Primarchs, I say the Ruinous Powers did what they needed to allow both men to think they got the upper hand and go forth doing exactly what they had planned. The Great Crusade and the modern Imperium are more a creation and accomplishment of The Ruinous powers than the Emperor, The Legions, or Humanity.
Have a good day boss, I'm gonna go try and hide from the Inquisitors now...
@@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420 Oh you better hide well.

Must have been a Sex Servitor
Wait, your being serious?
LET ME LAUH EVEN HARDER!!
"Do servitors dream of electric heretics?"
8:10 hilariously this is actually quite smart and realistic..
Especially in a universe with quantum computing, or rather quantum decryption. Even our primitive human civilization is approaching the point where we're almost able to decrypt ANY electronic encryption with the use of quantum computers, you think your 256bit online banking encryption is safe? Try a 1024bit encryption being decrypted in a few minutes..
The only 100% foolproof way to prevent leaks in the future may very well be HAND-WRITTEN notes, or at the very least written on portable devices COMPLETELY cut off from any network, and devoid of ANY channel of such, no wifi chips (reciever or transmitter), no bluetooth, nothing, to prevent interference.
In some ways, the higher in technology we advance, the more sensible ancient methods become.

@@AGTheOSHAViolationsCounter I'll get my shots and the cages...
I once witnessed a 40k one shot game with the set goal of changing a light bulb. Standard 40K fare on the question of getting the lightbulb. they had to fight an ork infestation in the supply room. the best part however was the 20 min realtime of the six techpriest player taking turn holdding the defective lightbulb as the other five hold him up and rotate him a quarter turn, the thank for service given of the defective bulb, the intronisation of the new bulb, then the screwing of the new bulb as they did the removing of the old.
Servitor's....The ultimate NPC's.
I was reading some shit around the web and got notification.
Servitor lore! Yay! One of the most grimdark thing that people so often overlook. Just think about that.
Servitors are things that are very important for the Empire. They are in the background even in codexes. Yet people so often overlook them.
Likely because they make the tyranids almost look preferable to continued existence among the Imperium
@@BR-dy1ie even in Death I still serve
I love the horrific (and realistic) way something so horrific is normal.
Tfw you feel like maybe the imperial guard isn’t the worst profession in the empire.
@@BR-dy1ie in all honesty if you are not from Krieg or other hardcore planet the guard can be your opportunity for comfy life.
And its saying something !
A simple way to answer the question of servitor sentience is to ask an astropath. Can't they see your soul in the warp?
I remember that is the War of the Beast! Shame Arch will never finish that series, just hearing him explain how Ullanor got invaded a SECOND time....
Imperial Titans gain souls by humans using them with intent (power mace made from a tank axle that hits like a tank round?). A sevitor might gain a soul that way.
In The Unremembered Empire on his way to bring you out of your endless rage inflicted by your brother Curze Lord Vulkan, John Grammaticus comments that he can feel the soul of the servitors crying out in agony and begging for release.
So at least some seem to have souls in the warp.
Looking into such machines with abandon may reveal things that are best left unsaid. Especially if the servitor's origins are unknown, and it's functions unorthodox.
Exactly
Is anybody else waiting for arch to do his Lorgar 40k lore video sometime before 2020 as was foretold in the geneseed video ?
It would be nice, since he's only like 40 books behind on the Heresy as is. Hell, GW will finish the series before Arch does.
YES!!!!!
@@gregdomenico1891 well technically they have to, I mean they have to release the last book (finish the series) for him to review it...
Imperial Philosophy: -What Is A Soul- How Can We Make Servitors
Well, that makes Strogg look like absolute amateurs.

Servitors: the 40k equivalent of Amazon warehouse workers
A regiment of Sly Marbos would be too OP. They were nerfed by the universe to keep it balanced.
Too OP in a setting that has Necrons? I don't buy it
@@MrGoesBoom
Yes , too OP in a setting with Necrons.
Sly Marbo has the plot armour of a 1980's action movie hero, if you hit him with a weapon hat can affect space and/or time it the revise down to being no more than a minor flesh wound. That is IF you hit him...
Praise the Omnisiah, a new Arch lore vid!
Now that you did the humble servitor perhaps a vid on the Mechanicus could be a posibility? Perhaps the Skitarii the militant arm of the tech priests?
I would be interested about skitarii as well. I know the bare minimum, more in depth look on the subject would be nice, for instance what different groups there are with in Skitarii and how they work and communicate with titans, can they repair etc tech, or is it job for specific groups and so on.
In the Space Marine game, servitors were censored, instead of being animated corpses, they look like human-shaped robots.
Be curious to mod that to be more... lore friendly.
Good job. However servitors are more organic than most people imagine. For example, when servitors are being programmed, there are not computer-like devices in their heads (computers are called "cognitators" in 40K) but rather their organic brains are being physically altered/programmed. Also most servitors have a lot less remaining personality, I would claim that the servitors have pretty much no personalities at all. The only reason why servitors exist in 40k is because robots are illegal, so organic robots (servitors) are used instead. Even the allowed creatures who are closest to robots, cyber-mastiffs have brains and nervous systems.
Question of the day:
Is the glowing skull buckle in Inquisitor Arch's belt a Servoskull made from an infant's head?
Get Remliez on this ASAP
🤔
😳 .....ouch.
i thought it was chieftain of pygmy abhuman from baggins prime.
Most likely. I can completely see GW using hiveworld orphans as an excuse to turn up the sadism a notch.
Ah, back to the fundamental explanations of 40k lore. I honestly first thought i had clicked on an older episode i missed!
Thanks arch.
Thats the #1 thing that I am waiting to see in Eisenhorn. How in the hell are they going to explain servitors...lol
Personally I think it would be best to not explain them just have them there in the background and then at some point near the end the first season have a criminal or traitor converted into one so the audience can learn the horrific truth behind the seamingly innocuous "cyborgs" they previously ignored.
@@zenoblues7787 or mention it like "you gonna make a fine servitor" or something like that. You know in a subtle manner. So the watcher goes "wait... what did he just say!?"
@@Darknessblade4me that's a good introduction but I really feel knowing what a servitor actually is and how it's made would help people really understand what type of place the Imperium is.
@@zenoblues7787 that would be a Good follow up to it. Make people feel disbelieve seeing servitors After that before hitting them full on with the Transformation process. Though it might be a Problem in terms of censoring (you know how pussy our society is)
They could also casually mention what crime a particular servitor committed. If the audience will hear that a particular forklift was a thief or a murderer, the rest of the implications will sink in.
I also offer prayers when I modify legacy code
Oh this one is going to be good... And very. Very dark.
One servitor that has always interested me was a servitor in the Ravenor series. He was trained to become a submarine pilot and he actually had his mind intact. Like maybe he was forced into that job and given the knowledge of piloting by having it programmed into him, but he could feel emotions and make snap decisions. He was probably partially mind wiped, but if you're going to become a servitor, being closer to the tech priest part of the spectrum is probably a lucky break.
Wait a second. Darth Vader is sounding an awful lot like a servitor now...
"What is thy bidding, my master?"
So... you're telling me that there is a servitor that their whole purpose is to pass the butter?
also known as "Grandpa's final destination" no need to let a good brain go to waste by mere things such as "age"

So the Deckmen from Battle Angel Alita are considered a Servitor by Warhammer 40K standards?
Dark age of Tech. battle servitors to be precise but yea more or less that's how the ad. mech. would describe them
@@Phenixtri well in the manga there's also the Screwheads but they don't have lobotomized brains like the Deckmen. Though Deckman 10 best Deckman.
Yes. But deckmen would be considered master craft in 40k. They have way more cognizant ability and even personality. The funny part is they are "recruited" in the same way. except in the world of Battle Angel Alita people actually volunteer to be deckmen too.
@@barrybend7189 I hope you mean deckman 100.

Does it still count as a servoskull if you use a Necron head?
No because those always have a chance of coming back from the dead
Chaos Knight Hmm. Good point.
(scratches “Necron Servoskull” off the list)
@@IamBlackToast hi iamdeadtoast your assigment as juice dispenser was decided thank the machine god for his mercy to your thought crime into techno heresy. Your Service time will be 3000 years.
Siegberg91 Would the Machine God care for one of my other bodies for His juicemaker needs? I just got this one tuned.
@@IamBlackToast The entire point of Servo Skulls is to allow loyal and honoured servents of the Imperium to serve even after their own demise. Now why would any proper Inquisition fearing Tech-Preist be so blasphemous as to grant such an honor to the filthy, faithless, mockery of life that are necrons?
I’ve always found Servitors to be really fascinating; so much so that I came up with an idea for one that could do my job. I work in shipping so the servitor would move along a track within the warehouse for order picking, it would also feature a scanner in its eyes for reading barcodes. The servitor would also be equipped with a printer to print out receipts and order papers for the office administratum
I’d love to see more lore on the AdMech life.

A REAL WARHAMMER VIDEO FROM ARCH??
(rubs eyes in disbelief)
An excerpt from the short story _Memories of Flesh_ describing just how horrid being a servitor is:
"…BLESSING IRON why why IRON alive BLESSING…OVERRIDE CODE *KILL ME* override code YOUR eye YOUR EYE YOUR EYE YOUR… Cutting. Ripping. Unutterable, obliterating pain. The stink of blood and hot machine oil. The towering figure in power armour watching impassively as a voice shrieked for mercy. A voice that the servitor did not remember as the one it used to own…no ability to understand the images…dragged out of its lacerated mind…no consciousness to understand what had happened to it…"
Servitor: What is my purpose?
Tech Priest: You pass the butter...
Servitor: Oh. My. Emperor.
Wait does this mean Arch will cover arco-flagellants?
Mayby in this century, yeees.
