Old Terra sounds like a technically advanced version of the Mad Max universe, complete with the emperor cropping up screaming MEDIOCRE while heaving thunder warriors
The Emperor to Aorioc before he sent in the Imperial Heralds (Word Bearers): There has been too much violence, too much pain. None here are without sin, but I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Leave the city, the weapons, the promethium, and the whole hive, and I spare your lives. Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the wasteland. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror. I await your answer. You have one full day to decide.
being a dad is hard, specially when it is boys, who constantly fight eac other and love to defy your authority. The Emp should have just got a nice Farseer to help out, a womanly presence goes a long way.
Jon De Oliveira so your plan to deal with angsty tweens is to make them spend an hour a day hearing about how cool their dad is and how much they should be like him? That's bound to work.
I quite like the Graham McNeill story "The Last Church" and Dan Abnett's "The Lightning Tower" as glimpses of Old Terra. In "The Last Church" there's mention that the Scandinavians returned to their old Viking-y habits and got exterminated by the Emperor and it details a brief uprising against the Emperor in France that was put down by the Thunder Warriors. "The Lightning Tower" while being set after Unification, during preparations for the siege of Terra, in addition to providing an interesting look at the Imperial Palace also indicates that some old pre-Age of Strife artefacts have been preserved (artworks like Van Goghs and the Mona Lisa are heavily implied to have been hanging in Malcador's office).
I always Like to think the emperor teleported him out and gave him the full truth of himself afterwards in private, even the possibility that malcador could be the last priest or one of the highlords of terra, or maybe even turning him into the first free trader
Careful what you wish for, Arch. Chances are that the 30k/background sourcebook you are requesting would be a joint venture of C.S. Goto, Matt Ward and Robin Cruddace. (for the unaware: the three people who f***** up 40k lore the most by not giving even the slightest of sh*** about it. Ward is even referred to as the 5th Chaos God - which is telling a lot.
The people based in the Northern Atlantic area could be fighting the Panpacific Empire in what used to be the Arctic Ocean, that is if their empire includes Greenland area. The two would in theory have a boarder at the top of the world if the PE goes into Siberia.
Unless the Legio Custodes video has half naked muscle men with abs so well lubricated you can use them as mirrors, I feel like a good chunk of your viewers will be disappointed Arch lol
I mean one could also point out that Thunder Warriors were not made by Gene-Seed processes, meaning they might have been either simple prototypes to find a more stable method of making super soldiers or made using more questionable and archaic methods. Simply put the Emperor probably could not afford to keep using obsolete models as it were, especially considering how violently unstable the Thunder Warriors were. Keeping them reigned in on Terra was possible, but imagine a band of genetically unstable monsters out in the big bad galaxy, lightyears away from the Emperor's prying eyes. Also take into account they were effectively capable of fighting Astartes on ten to one odds. The band of Thunder Warriors that staged that prison riot fucking slaughtered tons of War Hounds Legionaries, and those dudes were not even properly equipped.
@@aurorauplinks that's being apologetic for a genocidal despot. The best way to view 40k is as it is.. I love that the lines are kinda blurred as to what's worse.. chaos or the emperor.
I sometimes imagine that instead of killing them, the emperor took personal command of the Thunder Warriors and used them in his crusade until they were all killed in glorious battle. Him not making more, them dying of illnesses developed by the excruciating process they had and dying in battle would be better than annihilating perfect soldiers for his conquest. Just use them on frontal assault
Games Workshop should do it. We will believe them 100% and it could be used as an excuse for them to make more money, which makes it more appealing to them.
Many parts of these stories really prove that the Emperor really was the true embodiment of Humanity; imperfect. And really, isn't that in itself the perfect god for humanity? Yeah yeah, _HURRUSEY!!!_ **BLAMBLAMBLAM!!** yadda yadda yadda. As a Rogue Trader, I've heard it all before, and all you commissars pulling your bolt pistols should know that I've got the authority to order you to swivel on it, so put em' back in their holsters.
I think he set up a base of operations in the Himalayas, used his Great Crusade Era appearance to convince soldiers to join him, then began augmenting them so they can fight better than the other techno-barbarians, and just sent them off to fight using means that would not reveal his base of operation until he was ready.
He was actually based in the middle east, somewhere in Mesopotamia, or Anatolia, both of which are his theorized birth places. He could have started in the Himilayas, but that would put him square in Pan Pac territory. Hard to tell really. As to why I say this, is because the Palace was built after the Unification wars, during His prep phase of conquering the Galaxy.
I kinda miss the first war of Emps in that era back in M27 (as is seen in The Outcast Dead) when Emps and an army of anti-psyker genetically modified warriors eradicate a certain breed of psykers.
The Raptor Imperialis ( the main image background) is one my favorite symbols in 40k is most prominently seen on the Thunder warriors but also on The Legiones Astartes as well . If you see marines of a particular legion sporting it that means that they have participated not just in the great crusade but the Unification wars as well the ultimate Veteran Insignia.
So long story short it takes the Middle East Emperor knows how many thousands of years just to realize "maybe we shouldn't fight the well armed well armored badasses from a distant land"
That plus, I'm assuming, by then the oil was all gone so nobody gave enough of a f*ck about the Middle East to keep installing puppet governments so they were out of practice dealing with invaders. This would also explain why none of the other, more powerful, "techno barbarians" bothered to nuke it.

It was a well-intentioned dictatorship, but a dictatorship nonetheless, and one that was enforced by military might rather than widespread consent. The Emperor (being a multi-millennia old demi-god) had the attitude (perhaps not entirely without merit) that he had a better idea on how to deal with humanity's problems than literally anyone else. It's kind of like how old folks in real life are convinced that they know better than anyone else while entirely disregarding the fact that contemporary problems are sometimes a result of the political/social failures of their own generation. Now imagine that kind of arrogance adjusted for someone who remembers the building of the Pyramids of Giza as the heady days of their youth.
@@kingkong381 I do agree, a Authoritarian state is pretty bad, but in a massive galaxy it is the only Practical option. It's the same reason for why Rome maintained a large military to maintain and police the Empire. Without them, the empire goes to shit. Still not good, but it is justifiable.
Alpia in the north Atlantic would have fought the PanPacific over the north pole. As you say there would be no ocean nor ice pack wich would have left a lot of valuable space to fight over. Maybe?
"...Plasma Guns,Flamethrowers, Tactical Nukes, Tactical bombers ..." I dunno why but I was hoping he would say Tactical Flamethrowers. No matter, amazing video!
Arch is the Chaos entity of indulgent rambling, he feeds and grows strong from every garish, indulgent R-rolling flourish, aimless meandering and the occasional theatrical chuckle.
At 25:23 you talk about the Imperial Heralds going against a hive city, how do you spell it? And the bibliography of all of this would be amazing for a lore freak like myself!
Primarchs will get their own videos with 3 years.... *Looks at calendar* for some baffling reason I don't expect 17 more primarch lore vids to drop over the next 6 weeks. Call me a cynic but I think 30 years would have been more accurate lol.
I was thinking about Old Albia in Northern Atlan, and their conflict with the Pan Pacific Empire. Since there are no oceans left on earth, it is possible for the two powers to wage war over the north pole.
Arch Warhammer considering everyone else ether did the same thing or were obliterated probably the smart choice. honestly thogh there are no good factions in this universe everything sucks. (goverments and stuff. the game is cool)
To be honest, in that particular case, Emperor was kinda... a Good Guy. I mean, yes, his methods were extreme, but we judge people by the result of their actions - and a fact that Terra no longer was a little happy nuclear wasteland with different idiots fighting over scraps while terrorizing their own people... well, it is a good thing? Especially for the said people. P.S. Honestly, I think throughout entire Great Crusade, Imperium was a force for good. A lot of people simply underestimate what sort of shit did the Age of Strife brought - how the entire human race was put in threat of extinction, and what horrors befall the humankind. Yes, Emperor worked through a harsh force, but judging by what horrors did humans face, harsh force was the only logical answer - and through this force Emperor literally saved humankind. I guess, everything else pales in compare to this fact.
Maybe Terra isn't a nuclear wasteland anymore but now, Pilgrims in the billions go there over crowding Terra. Polluted by the censers of this unbelivably "holy world". The hives of Terra are so vast some would never even encounter the light of the Sun and even if you are in the upper hive, the incense clouds are blocking the sun. Terra is also a massive and extreme Bureaucracy with workers and adepts waiting in line for papers for years maybe even until they finally die of old age wich would be a blessing. And consider the Imperium's love for old tech and old things. Who would want to fix the infrastructure? According to their religion 'Old= Holy' and touching such a divine bridge or holy stature would be blashphemy. So basically the Emperor replace one shit world with another shit world.
Hi. I think, that Imperium of man should have been much different under Emperor, than it is now, after Heresy and Emperors injury and enthronement. Maybe not entirely "democratic", but actually confederation of state-planets, who are alowed to choose their own government - democracy included, Entirely "anti-theocratic" - because of his clensing of all religions, centered around scientifical progress inside logical boundaries giwen by WH40K history and quite open for inside traveling (because of his project for human webway). Protected by superhuman elite, with thriewing arts (his support for that field may be seen in addition of artists inside crusade personell prior HH) and technology enbettering hard life of all man in the galaxy. You know - democracy is just fine, but when the populace is giwen the choice between strong ruler, usually seen as ensurance of safety and stability and between demokracy, they do not tend to pick hunger, instability and violence.
i keep thinking why they have not done a warhammer 40k movie, but the more i think about it the more i realize that no matter what way they could do the movie, a lot of the fans will be pissed.
Arch you forgot to mention that Warp powers were used in the unification wars since it was recorded that a kingdom in Africa used warp powers to fight the emperor and im guessing other kingdoms as well.
Arch is not Skall, but they're both from Norway. The Norwegian female 40k player he interviewed had similar way of talking. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Norwegian mothertongue.
Then why would Lion be the First? And why should anyone mention unknown primarch in any way if Primarch project has not yet started? (P.S sorry for my poor english.)
I still waiting for the Chaos Gods video, but this is interesting as well. | 6:55 - Main difference is that there's religion attached to the Emperor's rule. | 7:25 - So it was a society that would be recognisable to "da Orks"? Your wit is on form, as always. | 14:05 - Sounds Scottish. | 27:50 - You've already covered their primarch.
Albia, Old Albia, has border skirmishes with the Pan Pacific Empire via what was the north pole region. I like to think there might have been a single pool of real water left there, which is what they were fighting for.
The Audiobook "The Last Church" gives a fantastic little look into his rise to power during his rise on Earth. I think you can still find it some where here on youtube.

Lesson learned from 40K difficulty: unifying all of man kind < being a single father.
being a dad is hard, specially when it is boys, who constantly fight eac other and love to defy your authority. The Emp should have just got a nice Farseer to help out, a womanly presence goes a long way.

Can you do a video about humanity's federation before the age of strife
"...Plasma Guns,Flamethrowers, Tactical Nukes, Tactical bombers ..." I dunno why but I was hoping he would say Tactical Flamethrowers. No matter, amazing video!
Murica ftw
No, you lost!
Great storytelling as always Arch.
what happened to Jermany?
Their leader tried to steal water from the ocean the emperor had claimed so Big E. had His Custodes kill her and take her son to turn into a Custodes.
Arch is the Chaos entity of indulgent rambling, he feeds and grows strong from every garish, indulgent R-rolling flourish, aimless meandering and the occasional theatrical chuckle.
"Send in the 8th"
At 25:23 you talk about the Imperial Heralds going against a hive city, how do you spell it? And the bibliography of all of this would be amazing for a lore freak like myself!
Primarchs will get their own videos with 3 years.... *Looks at calendar* for some baffling reason I don't expect 17 more primarch lore vids to drop over the next 6 weeks. Call me a cynic but I think 30 years would have been more accurate lol.
I was thinking about Old Albia in Northern Atlan, and their conflict with the Pan Pacific Empire. Since there are no oceans left on earth, it is possible for the two powers to wage war over the north pole.
what happened to the United states of murica did I miss that if so can someone give me the point in the video its in
bitched out and surrenderd as far as we know.
That doesn't sound like the 'murica I know!
Arch Warhammer considering everyone else ether did the same thing or were obliterated probably the smart choice. honestly thogh there are no good factions in this universe everything sucks. (goverments and stuff. the game is cool)
To be honest, in that particular case, Emperor was kinda... a Good Guy. I mean, yes, his methods were extreme, but we judge people by the result of their actions - and a fact that Terra no longer was a little happy nuclear wasteland with different idiots fighting over scraps while terrorizing their own people... well, it is a good thing? Especially for the said people.
P.S. Honestly, I think throughout entire Great Crusade, Imperium was a force for good. A lot of people simply underestimate what sort of shit did the Age of Strife brought - how the entire human race was put in threat of extinction, and what horrors befall the humankind. Yes, Emperor worked through a harsh force, but judging by what horrors did humans face, harsh force was the only logical answer - and through this force Emperor literally saved humankind. I guess, everything else pales in compare to this fact.
Maybe Terra isn't a nuclear wasteland anymore but now, Pilgrims in the billions go there over crowding Terra. Polluted by the censers of this unbelivably "holy world". The hives of Terra are so vast some would never even encounter the light of the Sun and even if you are in the upper hive, the incense clouds are blocking the sun. Terra is also a massive and extreme Bureaucracy with workers and adepts waiting in line for papers for years maybe even until they finally die of old age wich would be a blessing. And consider the Imperium's love for old tech and old things. Who would want to fix the infrastructure? According to their religion 'Old= Holy' and touching such a divine bridge or holy stature would be blashphemy. So basically the Emperor replace one shit world with another shit world.
always a good day when arch has a new video :D
Hi. I think, that Imperium of man should have been much different under Emperor, than it is now, after Heresy and Emperors injury and enthronement. Maybe not entirely "democratic", but actually confederation of state-planets, who are alowed to choose their own government - democracy included, Entirely "anti-theocratic" - because of his clensing of all religions, centered around scientifical progress inside logical boundaries giwen by WH40K history and quite open for inside traveling (because of his project for human webway). Protected by superhuman elite, with thriewing arts (his support for that field may be seen in addition of artists inside crusade personell prior HH) and technology enbettering hard life of all man in the galaxy.
You know - democracy is just fine, but when the populace is giwen the choice between strong ruler, usually seen as ensurance of safety and stability and between demokracy, they do not tend to pick hunger, instability and violence.
There should be a game that elaborates on this period in Imperial history!
''Send in the 8th"
i keep thinking why they have not done a warhammer 40k movie, but the more i think about it the more i realize that no matter what way they could do the movie, a lot of the fans will be pissed.
Long live Hy Brasil and long live the Emperor!
Your Going to brasil
I was supprised (happily) to see you on a live stream with Sargon of Akkad. Had been subscribed to you both, did not imagine you knew each other!
Arch pls make a video about age of terra lol
4 years later, still waiting for that Salamanders video...
Do a death korps lf krieg or mordian iron guard video if possible! It would be awesome!
Eventually he is thinking of doing one for all the notable guardsman forces :D
He has already done one on the Death Korps Of Krieg. go and look in the playlist
Pretty sure he hasn't, at least not that I can find in any playlist.
Soory i mixed it up with Vaults Of terras Channel they have one
mordian iron guard - they have the same fucking uniforms as our ceremonial millitary uniforms
awesome as always arch
Arch I love your videos so much,that when an Ad plays I mute the video and let the ad run to its completion so you get more ad revenue.
23:00
Why is this guy holding his gun so awkwardly?
Arch you forgot to mention that Warp powers were used in the unification wars since it was recorded that a kingdom in Africa used warp powers to fight the emperor and im guessing other kingdoms as well.
i belive it was Ursh that used warp powers in africa in there wars agains the North African states, atleast acording to the Croicles of Ursh,
Arch Warhammer No I think they both did use Warp Powers but I'm probably wrong
Sent the Word Bearers to pacify the religious zealots?
Ironic
SPEESH corgi approves
The Village Puppies want you as new recruit
Who thinks GW should adapt the pre- and during Unification Wars battles into a tabletop game?
So erm just wondering, are you Skalagrim or related to him, both of you have a similar voice and a similar way of talking, or is it coincedence?
i belive were both vikings
+Arch Warhammer best - comment - ever! 😂
If your a viking, then Im an ork
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH
Arch is not Skall, but they're both from Norway. The Norwegian female 40k player he interviewed had similar way of talking. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Norwegian mothertongue.
Maybe it's just me, but I think they sound nothing alike .
Great video Arch.
So... What if the first Unknown Primarch was from the Thunder Warriors? A failed experiment never to be spoken of again.
Then why would Lion be the First? And why should anyone mention unknown primarch in any way if Primarch project has not yet started?
(P.S sorry for my poor english.)
so he started writing the video on Big E on July 22, 2016. Is that video still being created?
Luetin09 has a good set of videos on the Emperor.
so it was basically north star univerese ehehehe
Emperor of Mankind: You are already dead!
whaaAAAAAAAAAATATATATATATATATATATATATAWHAwhawhawha
Oh hey a arch 40k lore video *grabs popcorn and soda.*
Nurgle approves.
Fuck nurgle
Nurgle loves us!
*****
Hi Papa Nurgle
Is that art at 25:00 a proto-marine or just a human with a boltgun? (aparently the rifle version since it isn't super bulky and 2"s long)
*UUUUUUUUURRRRRRRSH.*
I love rewatching these... I’ve been trying to post comments more often. 😂 hope to try to help out if I can
LOL then the emperor spread the oppressive brutal non-democratic government across the entire universe. Yep, everyone is way better off.
Wasteland Seven who needs democracy when emperor knows the best
when I have work in 7 hours time and I start watching your latest 40k videos....
Ok is there anything the imperium dosn't have that has some level of irony
So humans were like Orks with all that infighting.
Also at 9:05 that guy has some nice power klaws if you ask me.
The Imperial Navy... approves.
As for me , it’s the best part of Warhammer History !!!
I still waiting for the Chaos Gods video, but this is interesting as well. | 6:55 - Main difference is that there's religion attached to the Emperor's rule. | 7:25 - So it was a society that would be recognisable to "da Orks"? Your wit is on form, as always. | 14:05 - Sounds Scottish. | 27:50 - You've already covered their primarch.
Relatively is probably the most used term when talking about warhammer
Albia, Old Albia, has border skirmishes with the Pan Pacific Empire via what was the north pole region.
I like to think there might have been a single pool of real water left there, which is what they were fighting for.
The Audiobook "The Last Church" gives a fantastic little look into his rise to power during his rise on Earth. I think you can still find it some where here on youtube.
