the only distopian Empire in fictional history that you root for because a 40k universe without the imperium of mankind pretty much spells extinction of mankind as we know it.
what? its an empire by name and its the same government system as the imperium of man just less overdramatic, if one is not dystopian then neither is the other. i never said it was based on altdorf i called it that. the holy roman empire isnt based on rome but people call it that anyway but even if all that were true, the existence of the malazan empire still disproves OP
I mean, it's not like they had anywhere to run to, you can't flee into space on foot and loss of orbital control was what killed them all in the end anyway
@Sagitarrius A* by taxation I mean Tithes that every planet pays. Each and every Imperial planet in 40k pays the yearly tithe (1 standard terran year) it is made up of either Manufactured goods, raw goods, Manpower or Imperial money.

Lol. I have a wide but shallow understanding of 40k. I once tried getting into the books. I think the fact that there are like 100 of them put me off. It would honestly probably take several decades if not a whole lifetime to know all official 40k lore across all the games books and editions.
I'm going to say this but your narrator is fucking top notch. I think she's the best narrator by far. Really awesome job with the lore and the animations/montage too. I sometimes don't even know how you manage to put them together so well. I've never been this hooked before.
The funny part is, if you dig around 1d4chan there's actually a noblebright take on Warhammer in their archives... and the Tau, despite having nothing done to them, ARE the darkest faction, not counting the nonhuman monsters that always were true neutral like the tyranids.
Yeah seriously the Tau have some fundamental problems. Humans before the repeated apocalypses and other issues before Slaanesh's birth traded and were seemingly very friendly with many different types of Aliens, of course varying by which group in question. One of the groups of humans, the Interex in the Great Crusade had managed to secure multiple alliances and gave full rights to aliens within their Empire. The Tau on the other hand just had some tribal warfare on their homeworld, with no technological progress, suddenly they got all united and ventured into the stars. Immediately they subjugated and attacked other groups of aliens, conquering them or at least making the lesser species in their empire have fewer rights. Tau in particular treat humans poorly, commonly forcing many of them into combat, and using chemicals to make humans infertile in order to reduce or wipe out conquered human populations at large.
Nah, in other universes, the Emperor would be a bastard. Do you know about the Illusive Man in Mass Effect ? It's quite the same type of people, but he's considered as a villain, and he is propably less a monster than the Emperor, honestly.
THE Inquisitor of Inquisitors. How fethed up is the 40k universe? Eisenhorn took down Quixos, a certified radical inquisitor for heresy, smashing his work and thereby destroying the only way to defend Cadia and the Cadian Gate, and possibly, the Imperium of Mankind from Chaos.
@@kamaeqHey now, quixos very probably would have blown up cadia and set the great rift across the galaxy well in advance of failbadon considering trazyn wasn't around to help like he was with cawl. Or maybe he would have closed the eye of terror but Eisenhorn was right that the imperium could not afford the risk. Not to mention he's an amalathean and doesn't like change lol. It just seems stupid in hindsight

"Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. Those who understand know that you have no right to let them live." - Exterminatus Extremis
When you think about it, the Imperium is basically a whale in an ocean with small clusters of dwarf pirhannas. While the pirhannas could reasonably kill the whale, the whale can crush them with sheer size, and survives by sheer virtue of its size and girth, barely noticing the small fangs. Granted, as the Time of Ending starts, some sharks have entered the ocean, but now the whale is getting real teeth.
Daily reminder that Orcs in this universe have Toyguns filled with fluff and garbage parts that come out as bullets that can rip armors apart. Simply because the Orcs believe their guns will shoot bullets. And their combined Psyker field makes it so.
Yeah, i have to agree. It's a dense and impossible universe to summarize, but you guys managed to cover the basics, and just why saying much more with certainty is, by design, simply not possible.
Emperor: "Don't worship me because that will cause problems." Humanity: "ok." *Emperor is mortally wounded* "Praise the God Emperor of Man!!" So long as Terra stands the Imperium lives on, if the enemies of man want to crush humanity then they will bleed in their attempt. "To the last man and the last round."
Someone described the Imperium of man as such: The Imperium is a man, hanging onto the edge of a cliff with one hand. He could use his other hand to hold on a little bit longer, but he’s to busy using it to flip off everyone waiting for him to fall off.
I'm new on WH40k. Why is the lore so confused? Look at the images: so many things to pay attention, too many mix of references. It' the old and the modern mixed in a endless confusion of ships and classic building. I love it.
Ships are flying cathedrals regardless if the crew are religious or not, they architect is Gothic and skulls and yes there are non religious elements, mainly those who bear the genetics of the emperor.
This just in: the Imperium of Man video is now the most popular video on the channel. It has surpassed the Enclave (Fallout), State of the Galaxy in Star Trek Discovery, United Nations Space Command (Halo), and Helghan Empire (Killzone), all of which are 3 to 5 months older.
"Forget the power of technology and Science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only War."
The Imperium! How mighty its aspect! How far-reaching its boundaries! As one world dies ten more are brought into the fold. Fear us, for we count the lives of planets, not men
I once had a funny conversation with a friend of mine when he asked that "isn't the Imperium filled with bad people?" And I was like "yeah" and then he proceeds to ask "so then why are they often seen as the good guys?" And I simply told him about the Drukhari. That shuts him up far quicker than I thought.
When i found WH40k a few years ago, i was actually nauseous over how brutal the entire universe was. Now, any other sci-fi universe tragedy seems like tuesday morning for a chapter master
Astra Militarum, otherwise known as the Imperial Guard. Also known as: Cannon Fodder, Loyalist Axe Cushions, 'Umie Firewood, Mon-Keigh Missle Catchers, Flesh Chaff, and.....well the Tyranid don't speak but if they did their word would probably be appetizer or Hors d'oeuvre.
"Ordo Exterminatus... This order is rarely given, and only as a last resort." Well... "rarely", going by Imperial standards. :| When you're at war with 17461 planets, and you have to blow up a couple dozen in a few decades time because there's only so much you can solve by flooding a planet with Astra Militarae, the Imperium can't really be bothered to care. Hell, there have been cases of entire Imperial Sub-Sectors being declared Exterminatae without the Imperium finding out for several hundred years, and even then it's because the planets stopped paying tribute, because the Imperium couldn't give less of a shit about the actual _well being_ of these planets... It's usually only after three to four hundred years before the Imperium starts to wonder: "Hm... This sub-sector has not paid us tribute for a few centuries. Wonder what's going on..." Imperial bureaucracy: _"We know, at any given moment in time, exactly how many planets we controlled five thousand years ago..."_ That kind of bureaucracy is the only reason the Tau still live. The imperium simply can't be _bothered_ to fight them off. The Tau take a few planets in a century and call it a success, that is, of course, until the Imperium sends over a Astra Militarum war-fleet to "check up on the planet's status.", and essentially drive the local Xenos infestation to extinction. And the Tau were absolutely terrified of the Imperium when they first met them. Mostly because they had no idea what was out there. ... And yes, at one point they thought the Imperium was the worst the galaxy had to offer. Then they met the Tyranids, after which they realised that maybe they should just keep to themselves. There have also been cases of Orcs invading Imperial worlds. These cases usually either involve a LOT of fire, or... Well, let's just say that if you've got an entire planet infested with Orcs, it's usually easier to take the planet out of the equation than the Orcs. Basically, in any normal universe, like Star Wars, destroying a planet is a galaxy wide event. In WH40K, it's tuesday morning's coffee break.
Yea, the Tau, are like moskitos. They cause a small puncture, which causes the Imperium to be a little distracted, an call it a decisive victory. Then the Imperium moves a finger and crushes the poor bastards, but it is to devoted to killing annoying rats to really care
Exterminatus is in fact rarely given. Wasting resources of the Imperium is considered treason and many over-zealous Inquisitors were punished for using it as a comfortable solution to their problems. This is also the reason why constant warfronts like Cadia and especially Armageddon haven't been destroyed.
The Faceless one EY! I'm colecting Tau Yes - they are quite weak compare to rest of the world BUT 1. Can't be corrupted by CHAOS 2. Can cooparate witch Imperium, and they are not DICS about it like ELDAR 3. Rail-Gun and bullets size of a BUS :D 4. In 4 milenia they stand on the same level as ASTRA MILITARUM in case of TECHNOLOGY 5. Are the fastest progresing race in the universe So, if Emperer would awake - Tau may be the only hope to repair the GOLDEN THRONE, and bring Progress to the EMPIRE ... But THEY are space Comunist with vegaina on forhed so... i can see your point. I hope you see my
Not really. The Empire did actually wipe out all life on quite a few planets or turn them into completely dead rocks void of life, while there was outrage everyone was over it within weeks or months at most in some cases. Here are all the planets the Empire destroyed or wiped out all life on with a 100 year period. Alderaan Despayre Garrison Moon of Kessel Da Soocha V Hirsi Krinemonen Aeten II Unidentified Mustafar system planetoid Caamas Callos Dankayo Kalaan Ruisto Firrerre Mon Cala This isn't counting flat out genocide aimed at eradicating or pacifying native species while keeping the planet and it's ecosystem intact. Gotta remember the Empire at least in the EU had around a million member worlds so they could defiantly spare a few to destroy and they didn't hesitate to do it.
@@thefacelessone5591 The funny part about the Tau's place in the galaxy is that half the time they have never fought the major brunt of many warzones. Minus the Damocles crusades, they never seemed to have fought the 'major' fragment of any enemy they have ever engaged, such as certain Ork Waaaghs or Tyranid hivefleets. Their only Amregeddon-tier invasion was the first Damocles Crusade, and the Imperium only let the off because the First Tyrannic War was starting to get to a point where it couldn't be ignored anymore. If I recall current lore, the Death Guard are currently headed to Tau space EN MASS to give them their first sign of what 40k scale can really be.
idk if y'all are ever gonna see this but I thought i should just say thank you this was my introduction to the world of 40k and within the past 2 years it has really changed my experience with the entire science fiction genre. it has brought me into a community of amazing people and I wouldn't have been able to experience any of this stuff if it weren't for the amazing job you guys do. to this day when someone asks me about what 40k is I always point to this video because I believe it should be the starting place of all 40k fans. you guys tell it the way it's supposed to be told, a dark and depressing future of war, with all it's glory...and all its horror. so again thank you for opening me up to this wonderful world. you guys are amazing.
Caiã Wlodarski Well, If you put these aside first, and look at the fact that humanity had endured against the Xenos, Chaos and their own broken society for 10,000 years through sheer will, that’s pretty manly to me
@Reluctant Human Yeah you’re right, that is cheap 😂The Emperor was planning to build the real manly imperium of mankind, well instead this cheap version.
@@eruno_ lol a lot of war hammer 40k fanboys will go mad at you The only two sci fi lore that stand up for me personally is Halo and Warhammer 40k buy you are right 40k lore is confusing and expansive that it cannot hold itself that's why its not so popular in the mainstream media
Of all the videos I've watched regarding 40k, this is probably my favorite. It exists in the Goldilocks zone (not too long, not too short). Great narration and graphics. They dont dwell too long or speed through important areas. Nice work! +1

Nah but for real I agree. I'm a filthy 40K casual, and this is the first video to actually get across the full scope. This universe is out of it's goddamn mind and I'm into it
Love the Emperor for He is the salvation of mankind Obey His words for He will lead you into the light of the future Heed His wisdom for He will protect you from evil Whisper His prayers with devotion, for they will save your soul Honour His servants, for they speak in His voice Tremble before His majesty, for we all walk in His immortal shadow
As a long-time fan of 40k - in all its forms - let me tell you that this video is absolutely stunning. It's accurate, concise, and covers absolutely everything a newcomer might want to know. Bravo!
"not a step back, i say. show these beasts the fury of the Emperor!" - what the local commander on Tyran said just before the tyranids broke into the base and slaughtered them all. *bless his soul*

@@TheNightWatcher1385 Maybe not that many. There are, what, a few trillion human soils in the Imperium? Maybe only a hundred billion or so soldiers. Probably more
Crap! You’re right! I was about to comment on that, myself. Good point... Although... Did Horus know that he was leading 9 brothers? Food for thought...
I have watched this a number of times already. It is a impressive and epic production. Of all the Templin Institute has done, this is in my top 5. Bring it you dredges, The Emperor Protects !!!
You guys should just go ahead and make a 40k playlist. The lore of this universe is MASSIVE; it is probably the largest fictional universe that I know of. Your clean production and clear speaking are perfect and I would love to you guys tackle 40k
Pretty much every faction, but only the Imperial Guard would just shrug at this. “Lost a trillion men, a billion tanks, thousands of bombers, and an entire planetary system. Sounds like a normal Tuesday in the Guard.”
I believe everyone who sees this video feels the exact same way. Templin Institute i have left similar comments on several of your videos but i feel i need to say it again. you are the best youtube channel in existence. your videos are perfect in every way and what you do is simply incredible. I beg of you to never stop making videos, if your channel ever dies the entire human race will mourn it's passing.
"It was in war that the imperium was founded and through war it had endured." These words summarise almost everything needed to know about the Imperium of Man.
Although everyone always considers the Imperium of Man incredibly violent and warlike, note that it is described to have 'countless trillions' of people, and 'countless millions' of guardsmen. That means only about 1 in a million men is in the guard, the largest part of the military. That would be like if the USA had a military of about 300 to 400 men. So even though on a galactic scale the imperium is constantly fighting for survival, for most people the war is actually far away, with only a few people serving even in a huge metropolis. However those huge peaceful populations on safe planets just are not as interesting...
The Imperium population have 8,300 quadrillion across 1.5 milion planet or world settled by human in the hive world The astra milintarum or Imperial guardsman have 500 trillion until 30 quadrillion forces so thats pretty small from the general population But since started of "Time of ending" period from 560 M41 until M41.999 or Indomitus era, much probably majority of imperium of man is remilitarized from ongoing threat from 13th Chaos Black Crusade that destroy famous fortress world cadia, T'au Expansion, Necron wake up, Tyranid Hive fleet devoured & Genestealer threat in most Imperium Hive & civilized world probably now the Imperial Guardsman number can reach Hundred of quadrillion
The Imperial Guard has hundreds of trillions in lore. But I wouldn't take numbers too literally or put much stock in them. The themes are more important. The Imperium has at least a million worlds scattered across the galaxy but that could easily be many millions more.
This is only the guards though, each planet has their own militia, hell krieg alone produces so many soldiers they basically get away with anything they want

( _Obligatory bureaucratic joke._ )
Damn! Good one.
Planetary independence has done in 1 year what the imperium couldn't in 1000:
It's made the Imperium look good.
@Sagitarrius A* the planetary leaders thinking they can avoid paying taxes to the Imperium.
Then they get invaded by orks.
@Sagitarrius A* by taxation I mean Tithes that every planet pays.
Each and every Imperial planet in 40k pays the yearly tithe (1 standard terran year) it is made up of either Manufactured goods, raw goods, Manpower or Imperial money.
@Sagitarrius A* Bud are we talking about 40k?

It would honestly probably take several decades if not a whole lifetime to know all official 40k lore across all the games books and editions.

I'm going to say this but your narrator is fucking top notch. I think she's the best narrator by far. Really awesome job with the lore and the animations/montage too. I sometimes don't even know how you manage to put them together so well. I've never been this hooked before.
AvengerMKII I agree. She has a soothing, but firm voice. She speaks clearly and boldly. 10/10 narration.
couldn't agree with you more, at the end when she said "in the grim darkness of the future there is only war" i got fucking chills up my spine.
LineOfCars just think of her as a Adeptus Sororita
She reminds me of the narrator of the Ancients in Freespace. And yeah she's the best
100% true
I love how the "good guys" in WH40k (emperor, tau ect) would be considered super villains in any less grimdark universe.
Martin Hanks You, sir, are a heretic, for implying the xenos are "good guys".
The funny part is, if you dig around 1d4chan there's actually a noblebright take on Warhammer in their archives... and the Tau, despite having nothing done to them, ARE the darkest faction, not counting the nonhuman monsters that always were true neutral like the tyranids.
Yeah seriously the Tau have some fundamental problems.
Humans before the repeated apocalypses and other issues before Slaanesh's birth traded and were seemingly very friendly with many different types of Aliens, of course varying by which group in question. One of the groups of humans, the Interex in the Great Crusade had managed to secure multiple alliances and gave full rights to aliens within their Empire.
The Tau on the other hand just had some tribal warfare on their homeworld, with no technological progress, suddenly they got all united and ventured into the stars. Immediately they subjugated and attacked other groups of aliens, conquering them or at least making the lesser species in their empire have fewer rights.
Tau in particular treat humans poorly, commonly forcing many of them into combat, and using chemicals to make humans infertile in order to reduce or wipe out conquered human populations at large.
did you mean the emperor or the imperium? emperor seems like an okay guy. too bad he wasn't able to find any decent subordinates.
Nah, in other universes, the Emperor would be a bastard. Do you know about the Illusive Man in Mass Effect ? It's quite the same type of people, but he's considered as a villain, and he is propably less a monster than the Emperor, honestly.

Eisenhorn took down Quixos, a certified radical inquisitor for heresy, smashing his work and thereby destroying the only way to defend Cadia and the Cadian Gate, and possibly, the Imperium of Mankind from Chaos.
@@kamaeqHey now, quixos very probably would have blown up cadia and set the great rift across the galaxy well in advance of failbadon considering trazyn wasn't around to help like he was with cawl. Or maybe he would have closed the eye of terror but Eisenhorn was right that the imperium could not afford the risk. Not to mention he's an amalathean and doesn't like change lol. It just seems stupid in hindsight

When you think about it, the Imperium is basically a whale in an ocean with small clusters of dwarf pirhannas. While the pirhannas could reasonably kill the whale, the whale can crush them with sheer size, and survives by sheer virtue of its size and girth, barely noticing the small fangs. Granted, as the Time of Ending starts, some sharks have entered the ocean, but now the whale is getting real teeth.
And then the whaler loads the harpoon...
@@tnynfox1669 that whaler is Games Workshop looking to “End Times” 40k.
Whales live in the sea, piranhas live in rivers.
whales live in salt water, piranhas are fresh water species.
Its an analogy.
Daily reminder that Orcs in this universe have Toyguns filled with fluff and garbage parts that come out as bullets that can rip armors apart. Simply because the Orcs believe their guns will shoot bullets.
And their combined Psyker field makes it so.

Finally, some Mongolian who knows about WH40K.
Someone described the Imperium of man as such:
The Imperium is a man, hanging onto the edge of a cliff with one hand. He could use his other hand to hold on a little bit longer, but he’s to busy using it to flip off everyone waiting for him to fall off.
I'm new on WH40k. Why is the lore so confused? Look at the images: so many things to pay attention, too many mix of references. It' the old and the modern mixed in a endless confusion of ships and classic building. I love it.

I once had a funny conversation with a friend of mine when he asked that "isn't the Imperium filled with bad people?"
And I was like "yeah" and then he proceeds to ask "so then why are they often seen as the good guys?" And I simply told him about the Drukhari.

"Ordo Exterminatus... This order is rarely given, and only as a last resort."
Well... "rarely", going by Imperial standards. :|
When you're at war with 17461 planets, and you have to blow up a couple dozen in a few decades time because there's only so much you can solve by flooding a planet with Astra Militarae, the Imperium can't really be bothered to care.
Hell, there have been cases of entire Imperial Sub-Sectors being declared Exterminatae without the Imperium finding out for several hundred years, and even then it's because the planets stopped paying tribute, because the Imperium couldn't give less of a shit about the actual _well being_ of these planets...
It's usually only after three to four hundred years before the Imperium starts to wonder: "Hm... This sub-sector has not paid us tribute for a few centuries. Wonder what's going on..."
Imperial bureaucracy: _"We know, at any given moment in time, exactly how many planets we controlled five thousand years ago..."_
That kind of bureaucracy is the only reason the Tau still live.
The imperium simply can't be _bothered_ to fight them off.
The Tau take a few planets in a century and call it a success, that is, of course, until the Imperium sends over a Astra Militarum war-fleet to "check up on the planet's status.", and essentially drive the local Xenos infestation to extinction.
And the Tau were absolutely terrified of the Imperium when they first met them.
Mostly because they had no idea what was out there.
... And yes, at one point they thought the Imperium was the worst the galaxy had to offer.
Then they met the Tyranids, after which they realised that maybe they should just keep to themselves.
There have also been cases of Orcs invading Imperial worlds.
These cases usually either involve a LOT of fire, or...
Well, let's just say that if you've got an entire planet infested with Orcs, it's usually easier to take the planet out of the equation than the Orcs.
Basically, in any normal universe, like Star Wars, destroying a planet is a galaxy wide event.
In WH40K, it's tuesday morning's coffee break.
Yea, the Tau, are like moskitos. They cause a small puncture, which causes the Imperium to be a little distracted, an call it a decisive victory. Then the Imperium moves a finger and crushes the poor bastards, but it is to devoted to killing annoying rats to really care
Exterminatus is in fact rarely given. Wasting resources of the Imperium is considered treason and many over-zealous Inquisitors were punished for using it as a comfortable solution to their problems.
This is also the reason why constant warfronts like Cadia and especially Armageddon haven't been destroyed.
The Faceless one
EY!
I'm colecting Tau
Yes - they are quite weak compare to rest of the world
BUT
1. Can't be corrupted by CHAOS
2. Can cooparate witch Imperium, and they are not DICS about it like ELDAR
3. Rail-Gun and bullets size of a BUS :D
4. In 4 milenia they stand on the same level as ASTRA MILITARUM in case of TECHNOLOGY
5. Are the fastest progresing race in the universe
So, if Emperer would awake - Tau may be the only hope to repair the GOLDEN THRONE, and bring Progress to the EMPIRE
...
But THEY are space Comunist with vegaina on forhed so...
i can see your point.
I hope you see my
Not really.
The Empire did actually wipe out all life on quite a few planets or turn them into completely dead rocks void of life, while there was outrage everyone was over it within weeks or months at most in some cases.
Here are all the planets the Empire destroyed or wiped out all life on with a 100 year period.

Garrison Moon of Kessel
Da Soocha V
Hirsi
Krinemonen
Aeten II

Caamas

This isn't counting flat out genocide aimed at eradicating or pacifying native species while keeping the planet and it's ecosystem intact.
Gotta remember the Empire at least in the EU had around a million member worlds so they could defiantly spare a few to destroy and they didn't hesitate to do it.
@@thefacelessone5591 The funny part about the Tau's place in the galaxy is that half the time they have never fought the major brunt of many warzones. Minus the Damocles crusades, they never seemed to have fought the 'major' fragment of any enemy they have ever engaged, such as certain Ork Waaaghs or Tyranid hivefleets. Their only Amregeddon-tier invasion was the first Damocles Crusade, and the Imperium only let the off because the First Tyrannic War was starting to get to a point where it couldn't be ignored anymore. If I recall current lore, the Death Guard are currently headed to Tau space EN MASS to give them their first sign of what 40k scale can really be.

Pretty much every faction, but only the Imperial Guard would just shrug at this. “Lost a trillion men, a billion tanks, thousands of bombers, and an entire planetary system. Sounds like a normal Tuesday in the Guard.”
And the laughter of thirsting gods.
The Imperial Guard "consisting of countless millions of troops"; eh... try trillions!
She said trained, giving a conscript a bayonet is not training
Never have I clicked on a video so fast
Same
So true...
Truth
Literally same
I believe everyone who sees this video feels the exact same way.
Templin Institute i have left similar comments on several of your videos but i feel i need to say it again. you are the best youtube channel in existence. your videos are perfect in every way and what you do is simply incredible. I beg of you to never stop making videos, if your channel ever dies the entire human race will mourn it's passing.
There needs to be more Warhammer games, I loved the game Space Marine it was awesome and the customisation was great
RG 12 Dawn of war soul storm is pretty fun if you have like 5 hours set aside and don’t mind somewhat stressful situations.
Jeffrey MacMullin I shall have a look into it
somewhat stressful? That game can be a fucking nightmare ahahah
Need a fps based on the imperial guard or skitarii
This level of attention to detail and the incredibly unique setting are why I love 40k :)
Good job summarising it!
"It was in war that the imperium was founded and through war it had endured." These words summarise almost everything needed to know about the Imperium of Man.

I have to say, That was probably the best 40k insight of the Imperium I have seen in my 10 years of warhammer... Excellent Work Swift and Larissa!
Even better than "what if the emperor had a text to speech device"?
*HERESY!!*
It comes close

This is probably my favorite Templin Institute video.
That ending gave me chills
I'm proud that I know every game in the intro
Astra Miliwhat now ? You are an Imperial Guard son.

THE WALL OF GUNS
@@jvbutalid8316 Astra Militarum is the high Gothic version of the name.Imperial Guard is the low Gothic version.
@@hebanker3372 Still got models from when they were the Imperial Army. None of them wussie Space Marines!!
This was my introduction to Warhammer 40k
And what a GLORIOUS introduction it was all those years ago
i dont know if its irrational when there are literal demons that can pop out of thin air anytime you get angry...or happy...or sad...
Bring it, HERETIC. Better than you have tried and all they did was clog up my chainsword. FOR THE EMPEROR!
This universe has raised the bar 41000 times too high for other scifi universes to compete
Her voice can be placed straight into a war hammer game, so epic
Although everyone always considers the Imperium of Man incredibly violent and warlike, note that it is described to have 'countless trillions' of people, and 'countless millions' of guardsmen. That means only about 1 in a million men is in the guard, the largest part of the military. That would be like if the USA had a military of about 300 to 400 men. So even though on a galactic scale the imperium is constantly fighting for survival, for most people the war is actually far away, with only a few people serving even in a huge metropolis. However those huge peaceful populations on safe planets just are not as interesting...
The Imperium population have
8,300 quadrillion across
1.5 milion planet or world settled
by human in the hive world
The astra milintarum or Imperial guardsman have 500 trillion
until 30 quadrillion forces
so thats pretty small from
the general population
But since started of "Time of ending"
period from 560 M41 until M41.999
or Indomitus era,
much probably majority of imperium
of man is remilitarized from ongoing threat from 13th Chaos Black Crusade that destroy famous fortress world cadia, T'au Expansion, Necron wake up,
Tyranid Hive fleet devoured & Genestealer threat in most Imperium
Hive & civilized world
probably now the Imperial Guardsman number can reach
Hundred of quadrillion
Terra itself has quadrillions of humans
They probably have Billions of Guardsmen.
The Imperial Guard has hundreds of trillions in lore. But I wouldn't take numbers too literally or put much stock in them. The themes are more important. The Imperium has at least a million worlds scattered across the galaxy but that could easily be many millions more.
This is only the guards though, each planet has their own militia, hell krieg alone produces so many soldiers they basically get away with anything they want
