Darktide and Chaosgate: Daemonhunters are also cool videogames. And the CRPG Rogue Trader by Owlcat Games (Pathfinder: Wrath of the Rightgeous) is very promising as well.
Fun fact about Necrons speaking english in Mechanicus: they have a **universal** translator, which is translating the Necrontyr language into a language **the player** understands. That's how advanced the Necrons are!
It's the unofficial origin of the Occurrence Border. Think about it, the ship whose front end is missing from the "Discount Starship" chapter of "The All Guardsman Party".
Definitely this. It wasn't great at launch, but by now, it's a really solid ARPG in its own right. Most importantly, the overall WH40K feel has been nailed on perfectly.
Inquisitor is the perfect bump up of powerscale from Darktide. You're not on the peak powerscale of a space marine but you're way more powerful than your standard guardsman. Hell, in darktide you're basically on an Inquisitor's ship the entire game and you just never see them because they're out doing other stuff.
The Mechanicus game got me thinking about what Trazyn said to Cawl about the similarities between tech-priests and Necrons: They both lost what made them relatable to their species, except tech-priests willingly carved away bits of their humanity and relatively healthy body, which the Necrons would've killed to have. I wonder if Trazyn was a little bitter about it.
I don't know if that's true or not, but it would make sense that out of all Imperium factions, Necrons would hate AdMech the most. You know, sort of in a way that normal person looks at an idiot that has no idea what he's doing and is just too stupid to realize anything.
Imagine the sequel has you sometimes playing the Eldar, trying to prevent the Mechanicus from exploring another Necron Tomb, all the while fighting off Necrons already awakened by the Mechanicus' expedition. But then, you, as the Mechanicus, slay one of the major Necron Lords of one if the Tomb Worlds you'll be playing on. And the Eldar's psychic vision changes a bit. Mechanicus troops in the Eldar campaign get the upgrades you get in the Mechanicus campaign, slowly but surely turning the nigh-helpless Ranger into a powerhouse who can disable your weapon attacks and bypass your defenses, and the Vanguard getting that neat Double Attack, pretty much killing one of your soldiers in one turn if you're not careful. And the more you advance as the Mechanicus, the more Overlords you kill, the more the Eldar's vision changes, and the end of the game, facing a Necron Phaeron, they outright fight alongside the Mechanicus forces. Then the Eldar leave the Mechanicus to their devices and leave the system. The lower-ranking Seers keep asking how did the funny-looking Mon'Keigh change the future, while the elder Seer looks towards the Mechanicus flotilla in the distance, a faint smile on their face, and mumbles something about humans being full of surprises, while a more divine, yet also more technological version of the main theme plays quietly in the background.
@@bluethunderbolt9631 Sounds a little like Indigo Prophecy. You play as a killer and then the cops trying to find the evidence you leave behind. You have to balance hiding evidence and finding it. If you leave too much behind, the cops can figure you out really quickly and the game ends. The ending is stupid lol, it gets really weird and things come out of nowhere, but the beginning hours are really fun and intriguing

Yo Bricky, thanks for feeding into my addiction of dystopian-horror sci fi. I would of never really gotten into the warhammer 40k lore if it wasn’t for you. You did such a good job of blending comedy and information and I hope others have had the same effect on them. I respect all your content, but this stuff touches my heart like a squid boi touches a psykers mind when they get a little too frisky into the warp.
Thats probably the only game where you could argue for them though. In many 40k books, sometimes writers put in stuff like "time seemed to slow down as his armor pumped combat stims..." and so on, whenever there is an intense part of a fight. Its kinda rare but its there, and imho fits the narrative that they are transhuman, abnormally fast warriors, so QTE is not that bad in this case. At least thats my way of looking at things, i dont like QTE´s overall.
I beat the game a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. But I can only remember one QTE - the one in the final boss fight. The fight looks pretty cool so I didn't hate the QTE at all.
1 year later and we actually have a few fantastic new 40k games with 40k Galdius being a super fun 4X game, 40k Battlesector is a fun if not simple Blood Ravens vs Tyranids game, hell Necromunda Hired Gun is fun if not a bit janky and he'll even Inquisitor is a fun diablo style game. We got a few new interesting games coming out next year like Darktide as well as Space Marine 2 . It's been awesome for 40k games as of late tbh
25:55 your comparison of the humanity of the Necrons compared to the Mechanicus puts me in mind of something that Trazyn said to Cawl. "I went to my bio transference in chains, you, on the other hand, you went more than willingly."
I think in media you could also add Helsreach animation adaptation. It was made by guy called Richard Boylan who I believe is now employed by games workshop as a director of their animation angels of death. Main plot is about Black Templars Chaplin Grimaldus leading a defence of Hive city Helsreach against horde of orks on planet Armageddon. Voice acting might be a bit off and his animation has quite unique art style. I wouldn't recommend it if you are getting into warhammer but otherwise its a great watch.
I kinda like it.. story telling in great and visuals are well animated, but cant say i like the color balance. Least for me it got me huge headache, probably due so much white color.
Glad you picked out the soundtrack to Mechanicus, I listen to it most days when I am painting. The game picks out the madness of the 40k setting perfectly. I hope they make a follow-up game someday.
Gladias - Relics of War is pretty solid too. Not sure it's the "best thing ever" but it's a pretty streamlined 4x game where different factions really do play differently. Looking at you civ 6. I've put over a hundred hours into it and I keep coming back to it.
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade was My childhood. Loved every minute of playing it. Replayed the whole campaign last year for the 1st time in 10 or so years and loved it
The multiplayer in Space Marine is something I look back on and miss ever so often. It’s simplicity was great and allowed for more focus on awareness and teamwork. Sound effects were also really well made, ranging from thumpy footsteps to roaring chainswords. Good times!
Space Marine is the best 40k game by a long way! I loved DOW in the day but something that's still playable and the people miss online, SM is the only game that allows you to really play as a space marine. Mechanicus being number 1 and DOW2 getting a mention as higher uo that space marine is tragic and completely wrong! It's EPIC! And the very reason people have been campaigning for a sequel for years. That's not happened with any other game in 40k.
So happy you mentioned how good the Writing is in the seven games (Minus perhaps Soulstorm). The Voice Acting and Dialogue is so God damn awesome and the characters are so memorable. Sindri, Kyras, Eliphas, Gabriel, Isador, Gorgutz, Bludfflagg and Macha are major stand outs. Also, the Music is absolutely fantastic.
Bricky gets choked up when discussing the......temporary loss of Cadia.. Temporary since we all know Cadia lives on in the hearts of the guard and us all.
So glad you put Mechanicus at number 1. I was just getting into the whole 40k universe (thanks in part to your 2 videos on 40k factions) and I was looking for a good game to sink my teeth into. Looked around and tried a few but they all seemed a bit meh. Then my bro gifted Mechanicus to me on Steam and from the moment I saw that intro I was hooked. What a gem. Now we're getting into tabletop, he ordered orks, I ordered Mechanicus and we're both broke! Fun times ahead.
Dawn of War 1 and 2 are fucking masterpieces, I love them both a lot for their own reasons. idk if I can ever find an RTS that can top Dawn of War 1, especially with the Ultimate Apocalypse mod... goddamn. I just wish they made a third game that combined the best elements of DoW 1 and DoW 2...
DOW I and its following expansions cannot be beat, the RTS nature of the games plays so well into the universe. And as you mentioned, the voice acting and the story makes the campaign so enjoyable. Every few years I feel obliged to play through the whole thing.
25:59 In BFG when Cawl first meets Trazyn he calls him an abomination, pretty ironic both because that Necron is what he and all Mechanicus aspire to be AND because the Necron looks more human that the actual human.
It'd be neat to see the Total War Franchise make a game, Imagine dozens of planets with dozens of capture points (Cities, towns, etc...) on each that give you control of the planets, kind of like provinces and settlements in Total War Warhammer. With battles that you can control. That would probably be the most mega and hardcore RTS campaign ever while you try to take over the universe as Xenos or humans.
Ended up buying all the 40k games you mentioned that I didn't already own. You sold me. I need to figure out where I'm up to with The Emperor's TTS series, I binge-watched everything years ago when I first found it and youtube has since hidden every new video from me that I assumed it had stopped.
Was Death of Hope created by some huite supremecists or something. I see no mention of it in any of the comments. When it's easily one of the most warhammer 40k atrmospheric things out there. Shows the actual Grim darkness, not trying to clean it up for the wider audience.
wait hang on Magnus hates yugioh in tts. he does like magic the gathering tho, and is a huge nerd regardless. also, as a yugioh player his hand trap joke in the most recent ep hit different. my soul has yet to be returned to me, and i cant find my sides.
Bricky, I'll be 100% honest bro, I only subscribed to your channel for 40k, they will most likely be the only videos of yours I watch, so thank you for the video.
Lol wow bricky mentioning watching indrid cast for dow2, I’ve watched his dow2 cast for a few years now. I never actually dow2 multiplayer, I suck at RTS multiplayers, I just like watching the cast while I do my daily run/workout. Indrid does a great job explaining a lot of the intricacies to the game and are surprisingly entertaining to watch
This needs to be updated: Rogue Trader, while not as graphically impressive as many other games, it adheres to the lore like superglue, and I would even argue that its a great game to get to know most of the basic lore from.
One recent game I can recommend that came out after this video was uploaded was ChaosGate: Daemon Hunters. It's an XCOM-style game where you play as Grey Knights fighting a Nurgle plague.
I think Ultramarines was actually an okay movie. Hard to beat John Hurt screaming "Burn Heretics!" Praise the Emperor we got to hear that before John Hurt passed away.
Vermintide will always be better than Deathwing. Total War: Warhammer is also extremely good but, this video is sadly only 40k media and games which is a let down.
I think it would be better if not for the shit loot system and the worthless dlc packs, it's a decent game but unless you love the combat system, there is no reason to stay and play, especially with how devs piss on the community.
The music in Mechanicus is so good I listen to it even when I'm not playing, like when I study or read or whatever. The music absolutely blows my mind.
Seen Event Horizon... thought for myself: well chaos big nono.. I've played Stellaris few days later and the new event appeared: Horizon Signal... I immediately took all my battle fleets and troop transport fleets and I sent them next to the system where the event was discovered... I've overreacted a little bit but could you blame me?
Kitten: THIS NOT- *SLAP* “Dame it kitten you’d you stop saying that your love with shadowsun isn’t cannon everyone expect it as cannon and so should you so man up and go find her and tell her how much you love her! Kitten: *inhale* your right I must go to her! “Thats the Spirit! Now here her coordinates she’s doing some idol competition with farsighted and torchstar now go to her!”
It is a shame that it didnt get a remaster and the fact that it barely has any mods resembling a remaster,. Relic has been to busy with the Company of heroes games. Ironic that the first one is the best in both cases, Company of heroes 3 isnt looking that impressive.
lore wise the Mechanicus usually blurt out a string of 3 different type of digitasl languages combined with normal imperial gothic over their speakers. They just think talking is inefficient, which it is.
I recommend the other game made by the Deathwing developers EYE Devine Cybermancy it was extremely inspired by 40k and is more of an rpg it can take a bit to go into but has a ton of options that you can explore plus there’s 32 player story co-op also if you’re looking for a 40k but totally not 40k movie watch Starship Troopers it’s basically an Imperial Guard vs Tyranids movie
with boltgun and space marine 2 coming out, along with plans for a show with henry cavill, it seems like 40k is experiencing a bit of a renaissance in the cultural zeitgeist, which is great

DOW I and its following expansions cannot be beat, the RTS nature of the games plays so well into the universe. And as you mentioned, the voice acting and the story makes the campaign so enjoyable. Every few years I feel obliged to play through the whole thing.
Looking forward to 40k darktide whenever it launches. Hope to see some gameplay of it soon.
25:59 In BFG when Cawl first meets Trazyn he calls him an abomination, pretty ironic both because that Necron is what he and all Mechanicus aspire to be AND because the Necron looks more human that the actual human.
Hellsreach is an AMAZING animation using dialogue/narration from the audiobook of the same name, basically a movie.
I love that you brought up Event Horizon cause every time I hear about warp space in 40k I always think of Event Horizon
i love how in DoW2 Retribution 30% of the orks story ark is the inquisitors hat
It'd be neat to see the Total War Franchise make a game, Imagine dozens of planets with dozens of capture points (Cities, towns, etc...) on each that give you control of the planets, kind of like provinces and settlements in Total War Warhammer. With battles that you can control. That would probably be the most mega and hardcore RTS campaign ever while you try to take over the universe as Xenos or humans.
Heresy!!! You didn’t mention Helsreach!
id put Helsreach oer Astartes any time of the day too
I'm not still actively painting or playing Warhammer but your videos are outstanding. Really well done.
Hey nice shout to indrid! Always make the time to watch his casts
Ended up buying all the 40k games you mentioned that I didn't already own. You sold me.
I need to figure out where I'm up to with The Emperor's TTS series, I binge-watched everything years ago when I first found it and youtube has since hidden every new video from me that I assumed it had stopped.
Wait . . . what about Helsreach Animation? Ain't that worthy of the top 5? I dunno you do you
Astartes takes all 5 spots
Helsreach = #1
Was Death of Hope created by some huite supremecists or something. I see no mention of it in any of the comments. When it's easily one of the most warhammer 40k atrmospheric things out there. Shows the actual Grim darkness, not trying to clean it up for the wider audience.
I loved Tau commander after that line 18:40
thunderpsyker is also a good source, he finally came back.
Thank you for shouting out event horizon. Amazing film!
wait hang on Magnus hates yugioh in tts. he does like magic the gathering tho, and is a huge nerd regardless. also, as a yugioh player his hand trap joke in the most recent ep hit different. my soul has yet to be returned to me, and i cant find my sides.
like kitten said,
YOU ARE NEEEEEEEERD
"The only good thing about this game is it's ban list."
@@jessenielsen7218 'the only complex part' I believe it was after tzeetch said it was normally to complex for the simple human mind or something
I love how bricky didnt even bother to mention DoW 3
"Or is it a girl?" There's some great Mechanicus memes about that.
I only just discovered, having finished the game a few hours ago, that Scaevola is a girl

@@PeachDragon_ You're welcome
Bricky, I'll be 100% honest bro, I only subscribed to your channel for 40k, they will most likely be the only videos of yours I watch, so thank you for the video.
I agree with your opinions also I want to emphasize that everyone should watch Mandalore's reviews they're amazing.
I can't believe you didn't mention the hell's reach animation
"decided to combine the 2 dawn of war together"
true we dont talk about DoW 3
what do you mean dawn of war three, did they finally release another?
I'm not sure what you're talking about mate, they only made 2
@@ironduke5058 eyy its not my problem some people cant google 3 letters and a number
The fan toxicity is going to be one of the many reasons why 40k will enter the mainstream
@@uria3679 but 40k fans aren't toxic from what I've seen??
Time to mention rogue trader... and daemonhunters. Like both a lot
"The two dawn of war games" ah I see you have decided not to acknowledge the existence of DOW3
It’s like The Godfather.
There is no record of Dawn of War 3 in any books or dataslates in the palace.
Dow3 is heresy
Be carefull dow3 does not exist if you come across something calling itself dow 3 it could be malware
It would be an affront to the Imperial Creed to acknowledge heresy.
I like Space Hulk Ascention. It is like a video game version of the board game
Lol wow bricky mentioning watching indrid cast for dow2, I’ve watched his dow2 cast for a few years now. I never actually dow2 multiplayer, I suck at RTS multiplayers, I just like watching the cast while I do my daily run/workout. Indrid does a great job explaining a lot of the intricacies to the game and are surprisingly entertaining to watch
Mechanicus is amazing! It also has the most table-top feel next to Space hulk perhaps.
"Throw in da hat and you got yerself a deal".
This needs to be updated: Rogue Trader, while not as graphically impressive as many other games, it adheres to the lore like superglue, and I would even argue that its a great game to get to know most of the basic lore from.
This is convenient. I just started painting my Custodians. Thanks for the content Bricky.
Eeeeyyy you name dropped my boy mandalore gaming!!! Awesome!
Always great to discover a youtuber you watch also watches another youtuber you watch.
Try also Eisenhorm tome 1: Xenos. Great book and great introduction to the universe (also the serie who will come will be inspired by it)
One recent game I can recommend that came out after this video was uploaded was ChaosGate: Daemon Hunters. It's an XCOM-style game where you play as Grey Knights fighting a Nurgle plague.
I think Ultramarines was actually an okay movie.
Hard to beat John Hurt screaming "Burn Heretics!" Praise the Emperor we got to hear that before John Hurt passed away.
I love how you enthusiastic Bricky is about 40k lore
Vermintide will always be better than Deathwing. Total War: Warhammer is also extremely good but, this video is sadly only 40k media and games which is a let down.
Got high hopes for Darktide
I think it would be better if not for the shit loot system and the worthless dlc packs, it's a decent game but unless you love the combat system, there is no reason to stay and play, especially with how devs piss on the community.
Supremely average game. Extremely grindy and repetitive gameplay loop with crap loot and worse dlc.
@@hibanamain5709 which game are you talking about?
40k>Fantasy/AoS all day every day no question about it
The music in Mechanicus is so good I listen to it even when I'm not playing, like when I study or read or whatever. The music absolutely blows my mind.
Seen Event Horizon... thought for myself: well chaos big nono.. I've played Stellaris few days later and the new event appeared: Horizon Signal... I immediately took all my battle fleets and troop transport fleets and I sent them next to the system where the event was discovered... I've overreacted a little bit but could you blame me?
Undereacted
Didnt exterminatus
@@alfonsocyrusjoshua9551 give it a while, and you can call upon exterminatus to an entire system.
Space Marine is a great way to bring a larger audience to the franchise. Which for me is a big plus.
"Do you hear the voices too"... That was the best from dawn of war for me xD
Now we got space marine 2
RTS games brought me to the 40K franchise
The intro. Of mechanicus is a big + all in its own. Also I can’t wait for dark tide
And then came Boltgun.
Nice to hear a shout out to Indrid!
Kitten: THIS NOT- *SLAP*
“Dame it kitten you’d you stop saying that your love with shadowsun isn’t cannon everyone expect it as cannon and so should you so man up and go find her and tell her how much you love her!
Kitten: *inhale* your right I must go to her!
“Thats the Spirit! Now here her coordinates she’s doing some idol competition with farsighted and torchstar now go to her!”
"I like your hat by the way" had me dying, great video
Dawn of War 1 with the Ultimate Apocalypse mod is honestly so much fun. It makes me want a DOW 1 remaster and then have modding around it.
Ew. Mods are for peasants.
@@celphalonred1999 Mods is what keeps games alive, well past their prime.
It is a shame that it didnt get a remaster and the fact that it barely has any mods resembling a remaster,. Relic has been to busy with the Company of heroes games. Ironic that the first one is the best in both cases, Company of heroes 3 isnt looking that impressive.
The Mechanicus soundtrack is what you play when you just can not seem to get your toaster to work right
A toaster has two holes, you can bring a bionic buddy!
2:44 that "The Rock" you can't shake me from that
Review Inquisitor: MARTYR. Also those are fake legs Bricky.
19:03 "and she still won't shut it " xDDD , I still laugh my ass off even after all these years ... early dawn of war Gorgutz is so funny .
lore wise the Mechanicus usually blurt out a string of 3 different type of digitasl languages combined with normal imperial gothic over their speakers.
They just think talking is inefficient, which it is.
I Love that you Love Metroid Prime OST , in your vids!
I recommend the other game made by the Deathwing developers EYE Devine Cybermancy it was extremely inspired by 40k and is more of an rpg it can take a bit to go into but has a ton of options that you can explore plus there’s 32 player story co-op also if you’re looking for a 40k but totally not 40k movie watch Starship Troopers it’s basically an Imperial Guard vs Tyranids movie
Increadibly well done video, exactly what i was looking for
Thanks 🤝
What about Helsreach? I thought that was absolutely amazing
Wow, this is the first time I see someone shoutout to Indrid Casts. His content is amazing and the level of play is crazy high.
"more dakka prime" xDDD
For those that don't know dakka is bullets/ammo in ork language, meme is that there is never enough dakka for orks
And multi laser masturbation says the Man emperor of Man kind
with boltgun and space marine 2 coming out, along with plans for a show with henry cavill, it seems like 40k is experiencing a bit of a renaissance in the cultural zeitgeist, which is great
