There will no doubt be a few incorrect statements from time to time in here. But my goal is to spark interest in the universe and I really hope you came away with something helpful! Thanks so much for watching, stay safe 🙏
Warhammer nerds are the pinnacle of Dungeon Master Rules Nazi, it's ok Bricky you did really well and made a great educational video for newcomers to the universe. Subscribed
One of my favorite 40k memes is a comic depicting the sole survivor of a guardsman squad who gets grabbed by a chaos space marine, the space marine gives him a loving hug and lets him go saying "No one will ever believe you."
Funniest part about orks. The whole "purple is da sneakiest" thing was created by fans. It was a running gag among the fanbase that orks paint themselves purple because "yoov nevah seen a purple ork, hav ya?" GW hears about this and actually adds it to the Ork codex. We literally meme'd purple orks into existence.
Never seen a purple Ork, but I painted mine ice blue with a midnight blue ink wash. The guy at GW insisted I buy green paint, but I won't be told what to do so I painted them blue instead, then wrote an entire backstory for them where they lost their green skin, considered it a curse from the Ork gods, and declared a Waaagh to earn their favour and get their green back. They never lost.
A lovely meme put it like this- Humans: "We worship our God" Eldar: "We need to create another God to save us from a God we created" Necrons: *KILLED THEIR GODS AND USE THEIR REMAINS AS POKÈMON*
My absolute favour 40k story was when a group of Orks were running from an imperial force, getting away then realised some big slow heavy Blood Angels terminators were amongst the enemies following them. Orks think red things move faster, Blood Angels are red so impossibly these big old terminators started to catch up with the Orks and eventually slaughter them, purely because the Orks thought they should XD
Nurgle Daemons are the happiest of the lot of them. Heck, the Beasts of Nurgle are so happy they just want to come up to you and play. Unfortunately they are a bit rough and tend to maim or crush their playmates...
The necrons are such a massive threat, in part, because they retain even more tech from their peak than the eldar and mankind combined. They're incredibly good at undoing stuff, to the point that they're like the most effective counter to the tyranids if we really are surrounded by the hivemind.
Disregarding Chaos, they seem to be the strongest race. Chaos is supposed to be the final boss archetype of a tabletop game, so they are going to "win", destroying everything... But like I said, disregarding Chaos because they are designed to be op, the Necrons are the strongest
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Maybe, but don't forget that the Necrons seem to possess technology that they can use to fend off the Warp itself, nor do they need it to travel long distance in an instant. I wouldn't be so sure that Chaos would be able to defeat the Necrons if the latter have the time and opportunity to rebuild a decently-sized force. Right now, the biggest advantage everyone have against them, is the fact thtat they're scattered, divided, sometimes still asleep, and sometimes batshit insane. If they ever truly, fully reorganize, I don't see how anyone can defeat them.
@@RenegadeVile It's the same archetype of the Skaven in Warhammer Fantasy, Games Workshop creates this ambiguity to leave fans guessing. But like I said, Warhammer is still a game, it's not really an actual novel... so Chaos is the final boss, it's like when you have Ganon as the final boss in Zelda games, lol they are designed to be overpowered, the final challenge, multiple factions are supposed to unite their powers to face Chaos. So in a logical way, considering the context of Warhammer as a tabletop game, Chaos is the factually stronger "race" in both Fantasy and 40k, they are designed to destroy everything and then the universe resets to keep selling products for the fans, I think a more interesting "debate" would be "who is the strongest, saved by Chaos", there's a lot of arguments in this particular scenario... but if you include Chaos, that kills the argumentation, Chaos is purposefully designed to win at the end, it's a matter of (game) design, not narrative
@@RenegadeVile I'm pretty sure if any faction fully (re)united they would mop the floor with any other. Except the nids, who are just currently stuck in public transportation or something.
Orks is one of my favorite factions from 40K just for how ridiculous their stories and lore are. One of my favorites was about a battle between a WAAAGH and an Imperial Guard that was getting hammered. The Guardsmen had run out of ammo, and the Orks were bearing down on their defenses. The Captain of the guard, strode forward into battle as his troops stared on in confusion. What was the Captain planning? He picked up an empty Lasgun from the ground, aimed it at a charging Ork and shouted as loud as he could *BANG*. The Ork dropped dead. Amazed at this, the fellow Guardsmen picked up their empty weapons, and charged forward toward the WAAAGH, shouting *BANG* at each and every Ork they saw. With that, Orks started dropping left and right, and the Guard was regaining ground. It appeared they were going to turn this battle around until the Captain noticed one of his Guard shout *BANG*, but there was no apparent effect. The Captain saw that the Orks in the distance were marching together and chanting something in unison that he couldn't quite hear or make out. The Guardsmen began to panic as they had noticed that the Orks were getting closer and that them shouting was doing nothing. It was only once the Orks grew closer did the Captain finally hear what they were chanting... Orks: *I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK!*
@@randomlygeneratedname By their logic they may very well exist, they may very well be invisible to every being or force within this plane of existence..... the only way to know is to have da big one wish your death by them and you suddenly having an invisible, completely purple dagger (obviously!) plunge into your heart....
The Orks, a small tale of their powers: There once was an Ork ship, stuck in the void of space. From a great space battle it had just escaped, its hull riddled with holes. A good number of boyz, listening to their Kapt'n orders, were working on repairing as best as they could the damages. Then, a new group rejoined them, clad in rudimentary spacesuits. As the chief of this new team arrived, to the already working ork he said, in a suave and delicate tone : "HEY LADZ, WHY U'Z WORKIN' WIVOUT SUITZ ? U ALL GUNNA DIE, THERE NO OXYGEN IN SPACE !!!" And as these words were uttered, and the mind of the ork understood them, for nobody had thought of that problem amongst the repairing crew, reality was corrected, and their asphyxiated bodies since drift in space a reminder of both the incredible powers their race holds, and their stupidity.
@@TheTrueReiniat not that I know, I've heard it two time from different people, and it might just come from the community. In any case I find it very fitting for the orks.
@@TheTrueReiniat That's the gist of Da Ork, they can will something to be a reality if enough of them believe so, they can believe like: "Da Painboy ar goin tah fix yah ap Bozz" when in reality is just an Ork jamming metal and cybernetic components into their Boss craneum, the result of this is that their boss was enhanced through the belief that the operation would do so instead of any real process.
One of my favorite Ork stories is a group of Space Marines ran out of ammo so they pointed their empty bolters at the Orks they were fighting, and made bolter fire noises with their mouths and the Orks all died of bolter wounds, because they thought they got shot.
Every Harry Potter fan has dreamed at least once of getting into Hogwarts Every Star Wars fan has sometimes thought that it would be cool to be a jedi Every Lord of the Rings fan has wanted to visit at least some of those places Warhammer 40k fans are like: "Thanks, I'm good"
It feels like the artist started drawing these characters but never stopped. "Now I'll add more skulls, more turrets, 10 more floors to the cathedral, give everyone tactical visors and jetpacks. Ooo the jetpacks should look like skulls too..."
I know this comment is years old, but I would love short explanations like this for all races, so us newbs can get acquainted with them without having to read lore beforehand. anyone know if there is such a list or something?
*Me happily watching all the models and being confused but generally thinking the tau looks cool watching both parts of this to try and understand the universe broadly to see if I still wanna get them as my first army* *Reaches end* "everyone hate tau, they don't fit in" *dies inside*
I mean hey, I got them as my first, and aside from a few space Marines and militarum tanks, I've never gotten anything from any other faction. The funny robots are just too cool.
The fact that everyone hates / memes on the Tau is my primary reason to play them, if I ever could be bothered to waste so much money on a tabletop game. Prosper, as Tau shall. Blue bois are my people.
Them not fitting in is intentional. They are young, uncorrupted and naive. They are not "grim dark" because they still believe that other races might not be all that bad. The Imperium knows everyone else is bad and so match their enemies.
Ultimately this is the tragedy of Chaos. The Warp is gestalt made up of the minds of every soul-bearing species that lives within the galaxy, and the Chaos Gods are the personifications of universal concepts (emotion/sensation, violence, death/decay, and thought) within the gestalt. In the time of 40k, the galaxy is so fucked that the gestalt views the Chaos Gods as active, malevolent, and inescapable entities so they are and the only ways to 'beat' them would change the galaxy so fundamentally that 40k would be unrecognizable.
2 things that could make the tyranids more horrifying: 1 every other galaxy in the universe has been consumed and 40k is the last one. 2 the tyranids are fleeing from something.
like the in the Animorphs. Space Satan was running from something. And since Space Satan was essentially as strong as Space Elf god, it makes you gulp thinking what SS was running from.
As someone who isnt that invested in the lore and doesnt understand a lot of things... I just love playing the Tyranids. My friends can talk hours about the Chaos gods, the political views of races... and I just like: Yeah Im gonna eat them.
Might I suggest looking up @hivefleetmoloch on Instagram. It's a showcase of really cool Tyranid models, quite of a of which are modified or kitbashed & look fantastic. I'm not a Tyranid player/collector myself but I really like them.
1:24 I like to see Khorne more like a god of war. After all he is absolutely honorable and he's more about spreading carnage than spreading evil. When Angron saw Khorne's mind, he just saw absolute peace and calm. Being red is not being the devil :(
A friend told me about how Slaanesh managed to completely ruin Khorne's life by gifting him the perfect gift ever which apparently also made him so furious he smashed it....then loved it so much he spent forever putting it back together only to smash it again...and again etc. Now I can only imagine an old retired soldier in his little house making a ship in a bottle and lamenting how kids these days don't have respect. Also he loves dogs...his hounds get special artifact collars by default when his soldiers need to earn them.
In actuality, the Devil would be all four rolled into one. Like Khorne, Satan desires war and hatred so that more souls go to hell unredeemed. Satan is a liar like Tzeentch, who questions all truth so that souls can't grasp their situation and remain unredeemed. Satan is a tempter like Slaanesh and encourages vice and hedonism so that souls corrupt themselves and others and addict themselves to sin so that they refuse redemption. Nurgle is the only one that doesn't quite match, since Nurgle is patient and just waits, while Satan is proactive and seeks death more urgently. The only thing Satan shares with Nurgle is encouraging sloth.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the reason there are so many orks Orks are literally mushrooms. They don't breed, they spore on battlefields when they die. New orks are not born, they are grown, meaning killing an invading ork force is only the first battle if you do not sanitize the war zone
1 more thing . When ork battle tyranid and win . They dont wipe them out complety . They leave few egg behind so when their number grown , then ork comeback and battle Tyranid again for fun .
Short Addition: Nurgel is also about rebirth. Every Demon of Nurgle, after being killed why so ever gets put into a a certain part of his realm and is reborn there. So he is about the cycle of Life... albeit in a very corrupt way.
I like the "Chaos are Unkillable" aspect, because even the emperor had to use the fullest of his psychic might to not only kill horus, but also disintegrate his soul so much that it won't even be possible for him to be revived back by the chaos gods.
there is 2 races who can, from my understanding, permanently kill chaos. one is orcs, if they believe their enemy been slain hard enough, the warp will actively work with them to mske it so (but why would they unless its a massive enemy they never wanna meet again) or nekrons, whoms entire lifestyle is based on feeding on the souls of the warp and living
Khorne: Savage Satan Tzeentch: Scammy Satan Nurgle: Stinky Satan Slaanesh: Slutty Satan Edit: The minor Chaos god/independent entity known as Shai-Tan: Literally Satan
Slaanesh really reminds me of Evelynn from league both came forth from humans/elf’s hyper emotion, both have dedicated cults to themselves, both will fuck you and kill you
Also the embodiments of Honor, Hope, Nature and Joy respectfully. Which tells you just how *fucked* the soul of reality is that these things are the result.....
The chaos gods remind me of the great old ones in the Lovecraftian mythos. They aren't necessarily good or evil, since they are completely beyond the conception of mortal beings and thus not bound by classic morality. You cant exactly say whether their intentions are positive or negative, they just are. There have even been some cool fan theories about how compared to the imperium of man, the chaos gods are actually the lesser of two evils.
So, what you're telling me, is that the eldar had an orgy so intense it tore a hole in the fabric of reality and manifested an unknowably evil entity from beyond the veil of time and space that will feast upon their souls without end for the remainder of eternity Nice
@taniths 1st and only sgt iron on duty Wouldn't be surprised. It's one of the most well-known memetic series of 40k lore. It's the sort of thing I'd share with people interested in starting 40k that don't have the attention span for our man Bricky.
@@silveredbullet802 Actually it's both. If the Emperor had a text-to-speech device summarizes it quite well: The warp influences people to feed on their minds and sustain itself, but, at the same time, the reason it's that way is because, long, long ago, life everywhere experience a panic attack of epic proportions, distorting what was the realm of souls into the modern warp. It's a vicious cycle: The more cultists and the like feed the bad side of the warp, the more the gods hunger for it, and the more they influence upstanding but weak citizens to feed them with these vile acts.
@@TheNewRedOne Ah I see the chaos Gods feed on the ones that give them more right. So they feed on both but since the races, specifically humanity, dun and panicked the emotions that dominated are the ones of despair and the like. Is this it?
@@silveredbullet802 Actually, the humans came VERY late to the party. What happened is that 60 million years ago, there were three main races: the Old Ones, the Eldar and the Necrontyr. Long story short, the Necrontyr warred against the other two, and were at first, kicking their asses, until, panicking, the Old ones decided to create what would become the Orks, the Krorks (giant super smart orks with enormous psychic might) to fight for them. all that fighting, the souls devoured by the Necrons' weapons-turned-masters, the C'Tan, and the general chaos of the situation, distorted the immaterium into what would, in time, become the warp. The chaos gods solidified around the human renaissance, so... They didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
I started researching the different factions in preparation for Cavill's show. I can say I kinda like the Adeptus Mechanicus guys. Thank you for being so informative.
LOL for those who don't get the reference it's Hot Fuzz. The town and it's "Greater Good" I think is an apt comparison for the Tau. Seems ideal on surface just don't look too deep. :)
Angron didn't do anything to himself, he didn't choose his Butcher's Nails, but he did choose to have really crappy ones made to jam into his marine's heads
I thought they chose to put nails in their head to try and empathise with their primarch. I know angrons were put in to stop his empathy powers. The others did it to themselves to be like him(kind of)
One thing that a lot of people forget. If you slay a chaos being while in the warp, there is a real chance they're gone for good. Kinda like how they're at their most powerful, yet most vulnerable on home turf.
Hmm, interesting. The same rules apply to fiends in the Forgotten Realms universe of D&D. If you kill a demon or devil while they are on the prime material plane, their souls return to their home (the Abyss or the Nine Hells), and they are banished from entering the prime material for 100 years. If, however, they are killed while in their home realm, they die for real.
Not entirely true, but a solid rule of thumb. Basically: most demons are a tiny chunk of one of the four chaos gods. (Think, a single cell of your body for scale.) When you fight them on the material plane, unless you have something to disconnect them from the warp, they're just banished. When you fight them in the warp, you aren't fighting a chunk of that demon that it put into real space, you are fighting the whole demon. Win there and there are good odds that particular demon is never coming back, because while he's scattered into gibs, other demons eat the gibs and thus the demon you 'killed' never reforms. But, if that demon is favored, the chaos god may reassemble them manually or order no one to eat their gibs, so they'll recover in time. That being said, taking it as a rule that a demon you 'kill' in the warp is gone will usually be correct. Only the most favored (or disfavored, see that one Slanneishi demon cursed to dance forever.) demons get their god's attention like that.
@@liamoliver5848 It's rather dependent on how well he pulls himself together and how much having a mortal avatar as the basis of his existence means he can override the shaping effects of the warp reflection of him. (at least as I see it.) Essentially, there are two views on the Emperor: 1. The glorious God of Humanity that defends them, harsh because as a father he needs to be. 2. The tyrannical God of Humanity that defends them because only he gets to abuse his slaves. There really isn't a ton of middle ground because of how the Imperium shakes out. This means there are two impressions in the warp waiting to take final form. (And I'd point out that like the chaos 'gods' nothing says you can't have both good and evil aspects in one entity.) The facts we do have are that humanity is vastly more numerous and spread out than the Eldar were (and they made Slannesh, who is in the same league as the other three major chaos entities despite having so much less time to gestate/build up.) Humanity has spent roughly 10k years buying into the whole God Emperor mythos (for the most part) even if they think he is evil. None of the Chaos Gods ever had an origin as a creature of the material universe. So in theory, if the Emperor got off the throne, he could harness the insane power of faith accumulated during that time to do a lot of crazy things. (Recently in lore he burned down Nurgles gardens, without getting off the throne.) On the other hand, how much all that shaping would push at him to 'live up to the hype' is an open question. Scion (a TTRPG) had a neat take on Gods, where they got more powerful by fitting a role in fate... but also became more constrained by that role in the process. A similar situation might apply to the Emperor, where if he wants to go full on 'fight the four on even footing' he would be binding himself into the role of the God Emperor, potentially without a way to get out of it again. We know for damn sure that the miracles of the Sisters of Battle are warp manifestations, since Cadian pylons rendered Celestine just a mortal again. (Standard anti-psyker measures fail against these miracles because they're designed to counter conventional psyker powers presumably.) Killing the Chaos Gods outright might not be possible, but nothing says he couldn't rip the good parts out and make them into new Gods. (Honor from Khorne, Hope from Tzeench, Joy from Slannesh, Nature from Nurgle) That would massively weaken them and give him allies in one stroke.
Thanks for this, have been a warhammer fan for some time and didn't know this very interesting piece of information. Though looking back it seems sort of obvious considering how daemons can change shapes and are often described as how much of the "true" version of themselves is actually anywhere at any particular time.
Khorn will never stab you in the back, he will stab you in the face. Not only that he will make sure you see it coming, again and again and again and again...
I have always wanted to get into warhammer lore but I didn't know where to start and it seemed to daunting. these videos have helped so much and now I'm hooked.
BTW how they gonna regain their souls in the current lore? only rebuild the every member, every mind from the zero, except for the high class (the commanders, the generals and more up)... You lose your mental parts and you need to create them completely.
Dark Eldar, as described by the movie _Serenity:_ "They'll grape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skin into our clothing. And if we're very, very lucky; they'll do it in that order."
"The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude." - Eldar Philosopher
Quick correction, they don’t have a connection to the warp like mentioned The Tyranids are a hive mind. They're in constant communication between their synapse creatures, sending billions of psychic messages non-stop around the fleet. This clouds up the warp, it's like a warp static, blocking out other psychic communication with the mass of unintelligible alien 'language. Tyranids, while not ideal for Chaos influence do have an affect on the warp. Their presence is actually a fairly big threat to Chaos, as they have no lust, no desire for Slaneesh to manipulate. Their entire existence is centered around the Hive Mind, their only quest is to feed.
Bricky last Video: The Imperium of the man are "the main bad guy" Bricky this Video: the chaos "isn't necessarily evil" all the chaos gods have "another side" Heretic! Heretic! Heretic!
Omnissiah is actually the Void Dragon. One of the last Ctan. Imprisoned in the bowl of Mars by the Emperor himself way back during the Golden Age. Only very few Mechanicus know about it and they keep it quiet. This is a worse heresy than Dark Angels secret.
"Why are the Chaos Gods always represented with death and skulls and scary demons?" Probably because *everyone* in 40k is represented by death and skulls and scary demons.
The Dark Eldar quote "we are the lords of pain and death" made me think "The forces of chaos have something to say about that... actually every other race has something to say about that..>"
My guess is since they are constantly at war, the Demons will constantly be assholes. It's literally a never ending cycle unless Roblox Gollyman and his Ultrasmurfs break this cycle.
A favorite archetype of mine is "character/group has the potential to become the most powerful character in the world but they're too stupid to realize it", and orks scratch this perfect itch for me. They can literally make things work on the power of belief
Their minds were transferred, but I was under the impression that the C'tan didn't transfer their soul upon consuming their life essence. That is why the Necrontyr died that day, because they lost their soul along with their flesh when they became the Necron.
@@menghao737 most are soulless and have little emotion but some (the leaders) have more of their soul and are smarter (at least that's what I think it means)
I love the T'au for those exact reasons. They're the light in the darkness that sentience in such a grim and horrifying setting can still look out for their sentient creature. I also love the ranged characters. Be it fighting games, MMOs or Tabletops
The funniest part about nurgle is that from what I know he is actually like a super caring and loving creature, like one of his sons was jus chillin on papas shoulder and he fell into nurgle’s pestilence pot and just drank it until he became a big ass plague demon and nurgle was just like “oh that’s me boy I’m so proud of you!” Also as a side note the sassy nurgling is kinda cute in a weird twisted way
Well keep in mind he also kidnapped and imprisoned the Eldar Goddess Isha before she got eaten by Slannesh, and has been force feeding her his plagues since then.
Then the (previously) little fella knew that the pot had the perfect sickness and felt guilty, since he drank Nurgle's greatest achievement. So now he's trying to recreate it for papa Nurgle to compensate that he drank it all, he's collecting information about every illness he finds. Yep, that's Ku'gath.
"Tau is like Apple - slick goodie-two shoes in a shiny anime mec. They don't really fit into this grimdark universe, you can't call them evil at all" I'm glad, that recently planted psychic controller is now working and fully operational, Future Friend.

I will say, I love the Tyranids because they look so freaking awesome, but now I can appreciate the Orks a whole lot more. They just seem like so much fun!
There's a small bit of lore where the imperium tried to look what was outside the galaxy. All they found was orks. Orks outnumber the tyranids is canon. Orkz is best!
I think the reason they are seen as evil (chaos gods that is) is because that's how they are portrait in the mind of the people: the fear of them also fuels them to be evil cause of the warp. The God emperor propagate this notion and tried to prepare the emperium to deal with it but in doing so created the threat he so much feared (okay now I'm gonna give myself up to the inquisition)
Psychologist: *"So, what are your job prospects?"* Ork: *"Waaagh."* Psychologist: *"What are your aspirations in life?"* Ork: *"Waaagh."* Psychologist *"Do you believe in religion?"* Ork: *"Gork and Mork, but Ork focus on Waaagh."* Psychologist: *"Uhuh, ok. Do you fear death?"* Ork: *"No."* Psychologist: *"And why is that?"* Ork: *"Ork fight in battle. Ork dies in battle. If Ork die in battle, it mean Ork die in waaagh. Ork happy for being in Waaagh."* Psychologist: *"You do realize that if you die you won't be able to fight in a war ever again, right?"* Ork: *Gets up from seat* *"Me, Ork, is fungus. If Ork die, Ork spread fungus around. Fungus was me, now it is other. Other Orks are me. Ork will always be at Waaagh."* Psychologist: *"Okay, good session, maybe we'll repeat this next week."* Ork: *"No next week hummie, time for WAAAGH!"*
I think one of my favourite things in the lore is how they describe ork dreadnaughts (deff dreads and killa kans). For the kans the grots that get to pilot them are super enthusiastic about it and it’s considered standard for them to find the ork who bullied them the most and stomp them to death. For the deff dreads ork volunteers sign up to be put in one for the huge power boost but come to realise being permanently stuck in a can isn’t the greatest thing in the world.
Eldar philosopher Uthan the Perverse's thoughts on ork culture (kultur): "The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude." Also what I like about the Orks is their currency for how simply genius it is: They use their teeths/teef. It makes so much sense. There teeth grows back and there are always other Orks around. Their teeth also rot in time, making it a self retiring currency preventing inflation. Oh you need a new shoota from a mekboy, tear out your own teeth or more likely take them from Da Boy that looked at you funny after you smash his face in.
Dark Eldar summarized : imagine all of the most f-ed up, illegal hentai tags you can think of that exist and doesn't exist and imagine it as a civilization's law, culture, labor and research.
Khorne is one of those people who will NEVER stab you in the back. After all, why stab someone in the back when stabbing them in the front works just as well?
You've made the vast warhammer world sound so fun and accessible in a way nobody else has, and can't imagine the business you alone have brought to the franchise.
These warhammer videos have really sparked my interest, I didn’t know a thing about 40k prior but now I’m sooooooooo intrigued. It’s a fascinating universe and the miniatures are just awesome
Awesome video (part 1 and 2), always wanted to start with warhammer 40k and never knew where to start and this gave me a clear vision of where, how and what. Thx a lot
Most underrated comment thus far. Or is it? Is the material spoken of within this one threas really underrated, or has it recieved the sufficient amounts of upvotes it has deserved? What exactly is deserving of an upvote? If there was such thing as deserving, would this be it? Or is the concept of "deserving" just an artificial construct made my mortal minds in the physical realm? Yes. Maybe? No. Perhaps? No?
gotta remember that back then eldar were functionally immortal when they died their soul would go to the warp and wait for an eldar baby to be born and they would come back with their memories. So torturing someone to death for sexual gratification didn't seem like that big a deal for them.
A little correction for angron: His anger isn’t his choice necessarily, or at least it wasn’t to begin with. The planet he was sent too after the chaos gods took him away from the emperor had much more dark age tech at their disposal, which allowed two things to happen that completely destroyed angrons potential 1. They were able to actually successfully enslave him. Primarchs, regardless of their power amongst themselves, can and will body basically anyone in a 1v1(other than a more powerful primarch or the emperor or a named space marine with plot armor) so the rulers of that planet being able to enslave him is genuinely impressive. 2. After angron refused to kill his father figure in a duel, the rulers of the planet put these nails in his head that essentially made life pain and anger the only emotion he can feel. Fun fact: angrons original primarch passive ability was to take the pain away from others, or something of that nature, he was never originally the monster he became. I’d even argue that despite his anger, he would have remained loyal to the emperor if the big E hadn’t let angrons fellow gladiators die, only rescuing him.
@@daughter-of-loki1062 it really is. Angron gets shit on lot and called for not being able to rule his planet or even escape slavery, and everyone(including me) likes to make fun of his raging dickhead moments but honestly no other primarch could have done better. While most primarchs had a shit childhood, the only one who had it as bad as Angron was Kurze, and even that’s arguable. Angron was attacked as a literal infant by a squad of Eldar assassins who saw what he’d become In the future and tried to stop it by killing him. Even though Angron won, it weakened him enough to be captured by mere slavers on a planet with spicy dark age tech. Then he was forced to kill every day all while being a kind hearted empath. When he refused to kill his father figure he had his brain mutilated by the butchers nails. That alone is awful but it gets worse. For normal humans and eventually space marines later on, the nails were designed to stimulate aggression to high levels but that’s it. Those who had the nails could live relatively normal, if very violent life. They can be happy, they can feel love. The nails they put in Angron weren’t designed for a primarchs brain, which is significantly larger, more complex, and likely structured completely differently than a normal human. They crudely cut out pieces of his brain to make them fit. Because of this, Angron can’t feel anything but anger, if he tries, or if he isn’t fighting, all he feels is pain and the butchers nails. He wound up killing his own father figure, then eventually escaping with an army, and waging war against Nuceria. Eventually Angron and his army were surrounded and he was prepared to die with his people. Then the emperor showed up. He told Angron to join him and conquer the galaxy, but refused to save his army or even help them as the planet was too important to fuck up. When Angron refused to join him, the emperor literally kidnapped him and doomed his only true family to being slaughtered. Then he was basically used for planetary genocide, all under the unspoken threat of censure if he went out of line. I cant imagine any of the other primarchs doing much better in angrons shoes.

Funniest part about orks. The whole "purple is da sneakiest" thing was created by fans. It was a running gag among the fanbase that orks paint themselves purple because "yoov nevah seen a purple ork, hav ya?" GW hears about this and actually adds it to the Ork codex. We literally meme'd purple orks into existence.
Is it too early/late to say the 40k fan-base's relationship with Game's Workshop the most beautiful thing ever?

Never seen a purple Ork, but I painted mine ice blue with a midnight blue ink wash. The guy at GW insisted I buy green paint, but I won't be told what to do so I painted them blue instead, then wrote an entire backstory for them where they lost their green skin, considered it a curse from the Ork gods, and declared a Waaagh to earn their favour and get their green back.
They never lost.

The good thing about playing Orks (or against them) is that Orks either win spectacularly or they lose spectacularly, and both are glorious to behold.
My absolute favour 40k story was when a group of Orks were running from an imperial force, getting away then realised some big slow heavy Blood Angels terminators were amongst the enemies following them. Orks think red things move faster, Blood Angels are red so impossibly these big old terminators started to catch up with the Orks and eventually slaughter them, purely because the Orks thought they should XD

The necrons are such a massive threat, in part, because they retain even more tech from their peak than the eldar and mankind combined. They're incredibly good at undoing stuff, to the point that they're like the most effective counter to the tyranids if we really are surrounded by the hivemind.
Disregarding Chaos, they seem to be the strongest race. Chaos is supposed to be the final boss archetype of a tabletop game, so they are going to "win", destroying everything... But like I said, disregarding Chaos because they are designed to be op, the Necrons are the strongest
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Maybe, but don't forget that the Necrons seem to possess technology that they can use to fend off the Warp itself, nor do they need it to travel long distance in an instant. I wouldn't be so sure that Chaos would be able to defeat the Necrons if the latter have the time and opportunity to rebuild a decently-sized force. Right now, the biggest advantage everyone have against them, is the fact thtat they're scattered, divided, sometimes still asleep, and sometimes batshit insane. If they ever truly, fully reorganize, I don't see how anyone can defeat them.
@@RenegadeVile It's the same archetype of the Skaven in Warhammer Fantasy, Games Workshop creates this ambiguity to leave fans guessing. But like I said, Warhammer is still a game, it's not really an actual novel... so Chaos is the final boss, it's like when you have Ganon as the final boss in Zelda games, lol they are designed to be overpowered, the final challenge, multiple factions are supposed to unite their powers to face Chaos. So in a logical way, considering the context of Warhammer as a tabletop game, Chaos is the factually stronger "race" in both Fantasy and 40k, they are designed to destroy everything and then the universe resets to keep selling products for the fans, I think a more interesting "debate" would be "who is the strongest, saved by Chaos", there's a lot of arguments in this particular scenario... but if you include Chaos, that kills the argumentation, Chaos is purposefully designed to win at the end, it's a matter of (game) design, not narrative

Orks is one of my favorite factions from 40K just for how ridiculous their stories and lore are. One of my favorites was about a battle between a WAAAGH and an Imperial Guard that was getting hammered. The Guardsmen had run out of ammo, and the Orks were bearing down on their defenses. The Captain of the guard, strode forward into battle as his troops stared on in confusion. What was the Captain planning? He picked up an empty Lasgun from the ground, aimed it at a charging Ork and shouted as loud as he could *BANG*.
The Ork dropped dead.
Amazed at this, the fellow Guardsmen picked up their empty weapons, and charged forward toward the WAAAGH, shouting *BANG* at each and every Ork they saw. With that, Orks started dropping left and right, and the Guard was regaining ground.
It appeared they were going to turn this battle around until the Captain noticed one of his Guard shout *BANG*, but there was no apparent effect. The Captain saw that the Orks in the distance were marching together and chanting something in unison that he couldn't quite hear or make out. The Guardsmen began to panic as they had noticed that the Orks were getting closer and that them shouting was doing nothing. It was only once the Orks grew closer did the Captain finally hear what they were chanting...
Orks: *I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK!*

The Ork behind the slaughter
thanos
I lost my shit when this happened
The Orks, a small tale of their powers:
There once was an Ork ship, stuck in the void of space. From a great space battle it had just escaped, its hull riddled with holes. A good number of boyz, listening to their Kapt'n orders, were working on repairing as best as they could the damages.
Then, a new group rejoined them, clad in rudimentary spacesuits. As the chief of this new team arrived, to the already working ork he said, in a suave and delicate tone :
"HEY LADZ, WHY U'Z WORKIN' WIVOUT SUITZ ? U ALL GUNNA DIE, THERE NO OXYGEN IN SPACE !!!"
And as these words were uttered, and the mind of the ork understood them, for nobody had thought of that problem amongst the repairing crew, reality was corrected, and their asphyxiated bodies since drift in space a reminder of both the incredible powers their race holds, and their stupidity.
lmao is there a source on this?
@@TheTrueReiniat not that I know, I've heard it two time from different people, and it might just come from the community.
In any case I find it very fitting for the orks.
@@TheTrueReiniat That's the gist of Da Ork, they can will something to be a reality if enough of them believe so, they can believe like:
"Da Painboy ar goin tah fix yah ap Bozz" when in reality is just an Ork jamming metal and cybernetic components into their Boss craneum, the result of this is that their boss was enhanced through the belief that the operation would do so instead of any real process.
Some believe that the God Emperor is still alive only because the Orks think/know he is alive.
See what you need is a mass ork reeducation program. You get them all believing the same shit and hey, guess what "red goes faster."
One of my favorite Ork stories is a group of Space Marines ran out of ammo so they pointed their empty bolters at the Orks they were fighting, and made bolter fire noises with their mouths and the Orks all died of bolter wounds, because they thought they got shot.
i'm just imagining a bunch off buff, overpowered, badass superhumans saying "bang- bang- bang-" repeatedly while swinging their guns around

And I totally agree

It's gothic; so absolute detail overload. More is more, and better.

And the last group,the one in the thumbnail,still wants to live the lifestyle of those who murderfucked a chaos god into existence.
Also the Amish elves that no one cares about.
Yep, that sums it up.
I know this comment is years old, but I would love short explanations like this for all races, so us newbs can get acquainted with them without having to read lore beforehand. anyone know if there is such a list or something?
I just got into the lore, and my favorite part is how the chaos gods represent the bad (and good) side of people
*Me happily watching all the models and being confused but generally thinking the tau looks cool watching both parts of this to try and understand the universe broadly to see if I still wanna get them as my first army*
*Reaches end* "everyone hate tau, they don't fit in" *dies inside*
Well they get memed on, but he did say to not let that stop you from playing them if they seem cool to you. I think they seem cool too
I mean hey, I got them as my first, and aside from a few space Marines and militarum tanks, I've never gotten anything from any other faction. The funny robots are just too cool.
It's such a weird concept tho, to hate on an ADDITION to a universe. Like, nothing was taken away from it, so just calm down and chill.
The fact that everyone hates / memes on the Tau is my primary reason to play them, if I ever could be bothered to waste so much money on a tabletop game. Prosper, as Tau shall. Blue bois are my people.
Them not fitting in is intentional. They are young, uncorrupted and naive. They are not "grim dark" because they still believe that other races might not be all that bad. The Imperium knows everyone else is bad and so match their enemies.

Ultimately this is the tragedy of Chaos. The Warp is gestalt made up of the minds of every soul-bearing species that lives within the galaxy, and the Chaos Gods are the personifications of universal concepts (emotion/sensation, violence, death/decay, and thought) within the gestalt. In the time of 40k, the galaxy is so fucked that the gestalt views the Chaos Gods as active, malevolent, and inescapable entities so they are and the only ways to 'beat' them would change the galaxy so fundamentally that 40k would be unrecognizable.

@@tkraid2575 looks like that's about to be the case for every chaos god

Now I can only imagine an old retired soldier in his little house making a ship in a bottle and lamenting how kids these days don't have respect.
Also he loves dogs...his hounds get special artifact collars by default when his soldiers need to earn them.
In actuality, the Devil would be all four rolled into one. Like Khorne, Satan desires war and hatred so that more souls go to hell unredeemed. Satan is a liar like Tzeentch, who questions all truth so that souls can't grasp their situation and remain unredeemed. Satan is a tempter like Slaanesh and encourages vice and hedonism so that souls corrupt themselves and others and addict themselves to sin so that they refuse redemption. Nurgle is the only one that doesn't quite match, since Nurgle is patient and just waits, while Satan is proactive and seeks death more urgently. The only thing Satan shares with Nurgle is encouraging sloth.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the reason there are so many orks
Orks are literally mushrooms. They don't breed, they spore on battlefields when they die. New orks are not born, they are grown, meaning killing an invading ork force is only the first battle if you do not sanitize the war zone
And each greenskin, whether ork, grot, or squig, has spores for the entire biome. Kill just one, and you'll have another detachment in a year.
1 more thing . When ork battle tyranid and win . They dont wipe them out complety . They leave few egg behind so when their number grown , then ork comeback and battle Tyranid again for fun .
Short Addition: Nurgel is also about rebirth. Every Demon of Nurgle, after being killed why so ever gets put into a a certain part of his realm and is reborn there. So he is about the cycle of Life... albeit in a very corrupt way.
I like the "Chaos are Unkillable" aspect, because even the emperor had to use the fullest of his psychic might to not only kill horus, but also disintegrate his soul so much that it won't even be possible for him to be revived back by the chaos gods.
Because it is a different side of the universe, the Order contering it. Keeping in balance.
hang on, doesn't the silent king plan to use the Priarh Nexus to cut off the warp permanently? Sure it's not killing chaos but it's pretty darn close.
Chaos exist because Order, and Order exist because of Chaos. That's why...
there is 2 races who can, from my understanding, permanently kill chaos. one is orcs, if they believe their enemy been slain hard enough, the warp will actively work with them to mske it so (but why would they unless its a massive enemy they never wanna meet again) or nekrons, whoms entire lifestyle is based on feeding on the souls of the warp and living
Khorne: Savage Satan
Tzeentch: Scammy Satan
Nurgle: Stinky Satan
Slaanesh: Slutty Satan
Edit:

Slutty Satan might be the best description for her/him so far

I love the Tyranid's lore book, the HISSSSSSSSSS chapter as well as the WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA mini series are my favourite.
The chaos gods remind me of the great old ones in the Lovecraftian mythos. They aren't necessarily good or evil, since they are completely beyond the conception of mortal beings and thus not bound by classic morality. You cant exactly say whether their intentions are positive or negative, they just are. There have even been some cool fan theories about how compared to the imperium of man, the chaos gods are actually the lesser of two evils.

@@silveredbullet802 Actually it's both. If the Emperor had a text-to-speech device summarizes it quite well: The warp influences people to feed on their minds and sustain itself, but, at the same time, the reason it's that way is because, long, long ago, life everywhere experience a panic attack of epic proportions, distorting what was the realm of souls into the modern warp. It's a vicious cycle: The more cultists and the like feed the bad side of the warp, the more the gods hunger for it, and the more they influence upstanding but weak citizens to feed them with these vile acts.
@@TheNewRedOne Ah I see the chaos Gods feed on the ones that give them more right. So they feed on both but since the races, specifically humanity, dun and panicked the emotions that dominated are the ones of despair and the like. Is this it?
@@silveredbullet802 Actually, the humans came VERY late to the party. What happened is that 60 million years ago, there were three main races: the Old Ones, the Eldar and the Necrontyr. Long story short, the Necrontyr warred against the other two, and were at first, kicking their asses, until, panicking, the Old ones decided to create what would become the Orks, the Krorks (giant super smart orks with enormous psychic might) to fight for them. all that fighting, the souls devoured by the Necrons' weapons-turned-masters, the C'Tan, and the general chaos of the situation, distorted the immaterium into what would, in time, become the warp. The chaos gods solidified around the human renaissance, so... They didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

One thing that a lot of people forget. If you slay a chaos being while in the warp, there is a real chance they're gone for good. Kinda like how they're at their most powerful, yet most vulnerable on home turf.
Hmm, interesting. The same rules apply to fiends in the Forgotten Realms universe of D&D. If you kill a demon or devil while they are on the prime material plane, their souls return to their home (the Abyss or the Nine Hells), and they are banished from entering the prime material for 100 years. If, however, they are killed while in their home realm, they die for real.
Not entirely true, but a solid rule of thumb. Basically: most demons are a tiny chunk of one of the four chaos gods. (Think, a single cell of your body for scale.) When you fight them on the material plane, unless you have something to disconnect them from the warp, they're just banished. When you fight them in the warp, you aren't fighting a chunk of that demon that it put into real space, you are fighting the whole demon.
Win there and there are good odds that particular demon is never coming back, because while he's scattered into gibs, other demons eat the gibs and thus the demon you 'killed' never reforms. But, if that demon is favored, the chaos god may reassemble them manually or order no one to eat their gibs, so they'll recover in time.
That being said, taking it as a rule that a demon you 'kill' in the warp is gone will usually be correct. Only the most favored (or disfavored, see that one Slanneishi demon cursed to dance forever.) demons get their god's attention like that.
So if the Emperor ever came back he could theoretically kill the Chaos gods in the warp?
@@liamoliver5848 It's rather dependent on how well he pulls himself together and how much having a mortal avatar as the basis of his existence means he can override the shaping effects of the warp reflection of him. (at least as I see it.) Essentially, there are two views on the Emperor:
1. The glorious God of Humanity that defends them, harsh because as a father he needs to be.
2. The tyrannical God of Humanity that defends them because only he gets to abuse his slaves.
There really isn't a ton of middle ground because of how the Imperium shakes out. This means there are two impressions in the warp waiting to take final form. (And I'd point out that like the chaos 'gods' nothing says you can't have both good and evil aspects in one entity.)
The facts we do have are that humanity is vastly more numerous and spread out than the Eldar were (and they made Slannesh, who is in the same league as the other three major chaos entities despite having so much less time to gestate/build up.) Humanity has spent roughly 10k years buying into the whole God Emperor mythos (for the most part) even if they think he is evil. None of the Chaos Gods ever had an origin as a creature of the material universe.
So in theory, if the Emperor got off the throne, he could harness the insane power of faith accumulated during that time to do a lot of crazy things. (Recently in lore he burned down Nurgles gardens, without getting off the throne.) On the other hand, how much all that shaping would push at him to 'live up to the hype' is an open question.
Scion (a TTRPG) had a neat take on Gods, where they got more powerful by fitting a role in fate... but also became more constrained by that role in the process. A similar situation might apply to the Emperor, where if he wants to go full on 'fight the four on even footing' he would be binding himself into the role of the God Emperor, potentially without a way to get out of it again.
We know for damn sure that the miracles of the Sisters of Battle are warp manifestations, since Cadian pylons rendered Celestine just a mortal again. (Standard anti-psyker measures fail against these miracles because they're designed to counter conventional psyker powers presumably.)
Killing the Chaos Gods outright might not be possible, but nothing says he couldn't rip the good parts out and make them into new Gods. (Honor from Khorne, Hope from Tzeench, Joy from Slannesh, Nature from Nurgle) That would massively weaken them and give him allies in one stroke.
Thanks for this, have been a warhammer fan for some time and didn't know this very interesting piece of information. Though looking back it seems sort of obvious considering how daemons can change shapes and are often described as how much of the "true" version of themselves is actually anywhere at any particular time.

All the fun stuff
Quick correction, they don’t have a connection to the warp like mentioned The Tyranids are a hive mind. They're in constant communication between their synapse creatures, sending billions of psychic messages non-stop around the fleet. This clouds up the warp, it's like a warp static, blocking out other psychic communication with the mass of unintelligible alien 'language. Tyranids, while not ideal for Chaos influence do have an affect on the warp. Their presence is actually a fairly big threat to Chaos, as they have no lust, no desire for Slaneesh to manipulate. Their entire existence is centered around the Hive Mind, their only quest is to feed.

Omnissiah is actually the Void Dragon. One of the last Ctan. Imprisoned in the bowl of Mars by the Emperor himself way back during the Golden Age. Only very few Mechanicus know about it and they keep it quiet. This is a worse heresy than Dark Angels secret.
"Why are the Chaos Gods always represented with death and skulls and scary demons?"
Probably because *everyone* in 40k is represented by death and skulls and scary demons.
The Dark Eldar quote "we are the lords of pain and death" made me think "The forces of chaos have something to say about that... actually every other race has something to say about that..>"
@Aggromemnon It is the youngest of the four, after all.
Except the tao
My guess is since they are constantly at war, the Demons will constantly be assholes. It's literally a never ending cycle unless Roblox Gollyman and his Ultrasmurfs break this cycle.
It's because Khorne gets, like, 1000x more exposure than the other Chaos Gods.
A favorite archetype of mine is "character/group has the potential to become the most powerful character in the world but they're too stupid to realize it", and orks scratch this perfect itch for me. They can literally make things work on the power of belief

I think one of my favourite things in the lore is how they describe ork dreadnaughts (deff dreads and killa kans).

For the deff dreads ork volunteers sign up to be put in one for the huge power boost but come to realise being permanently stuck in a can isn’t the greatest thing in the world.
Eldar philosopher Uthan the Perverse's thoughts on ork culture (kultur):
"The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude."
Also what I like about the Orks is their currency for how simply genius it is: They use their teeths/teef. It makes so much sense. There teeth grows back and there are always other Orks around. Their teeth also rot in time, making it a self retiring currency preventing inflation. Oh you need a new shoota from a mekboy, tear out your own teeth or more likely take them from Da Boy that looked at you funny after you smash his face in.

A little correction for angron:
His anger isn’t his choice necessarily, or at least it wasn’t to begin with. The planet he was sent too after the chaos gods took him away from the emperor had much more dark age tech at their disposal, which allowed two things to happen that completely destroyed angrons potential
1. They were able to actually successfully enslave him. Primarchs, regardless of their power amongst themselves, can and will body basically anyone in a 1v1(other than a more powerful primarch or the emperor or a named space marine with plot armor) so the rulers of that planet being able to enslave him is genuinely impressive.
2. After angron refused to kill his father figure in a duel, the rulers of the planet put these nails in his head that essentially made life pain and anger the only emotion he can feel.
Fun fact: angrons original primarch passive ability was to take the pain away from others, or something of that nature, he was never originally the monster he became. I’d even argue that despite his anger, he would have remained loyal to the emperor if the big E hadn’t let angrons fellow gladiators die, only rescuing him.
That's genuinely really sad.
@@daughter-of-loki1062 it really is. Angron gets shit on lot and called for not being able to rule his planet or even escape slavery, and everyone(including me) likes to make fun of his raging dickhead moments but honestly no other primarch could have done better.
While most primarchs had a shit childhood, the only one who had it as bad as Angron was Kurze, and even that’s arguable.
Angron was attacked as a literal infant by a squad of Eldar assassins who saw what he’d become In the future and tried to stop it by killing him. Even though Angron won, it weakened him enough to be captured by mere slavers on a planet with spicy dark age tech.
Then he was forced to kill every day all while being a kind hearted empath. When he refused to kill his father figure he had his brain mutilated by the butchers nails. That alone is awful but it gets worse.
For normal humans and eventually space marines later on, the nails were designed to stimulate aggression to high levels but that’s it. Those who had the nails could live relatively normal, if very violent life. They can be happy, they can feel love.
The nails they put in Angron weren’t designed for a primarchs brain, which is significantly larger, more complex, and likely structured completely differently than a normal human. They crudely cut out pieces of his brain to make them fit.
Because of this, Angron can’t feel anything but anger, if he tries, or if he isn’t fighting, all he feels is pain and the butchers nails.
He wound up killing his own father figure, then eventually escaping with an army, and waging war against Nuceria.
Eventually Angron and his army were surrounded and he was prepared to die with his people.
Then the emperor showed up. He told Angron to join him and conquer the galaxy, but refused to save his army or even help them as the planet was too important to fuck up.
When Angron refused to join him, the emperor literally kidnapped him and doomed his only true family to being slaughtered.
Then he was basically used for planetary genocide, all under the unspoken threat of censure if he went out of line.
I cant imagine any of the other primarchs doing much better in angrons shoes.
