Always loved that one bit of lore regarding the outsider where the tyranids explicitly went around it. Usually they just fly past necron worlds without giving it any thought but they took one look at the outsider and just went "nope".
Proof the Hive mind is wise.
The Hivemind marked the necrons as "waste of biomass, not engage". Also that Any C'tan could erase an entire hive fleet with ease.
My own head cannon has always been that the Tyrannids are a form of bioweapon made by the old ones as a final countermeasure to the Necrons and C'tann. They were not designed to fight them directly, but instead to remove all living things ahead of an approaching Necrons/C'tann wave; thereby depriving C'tann of life energy. Similar to how foresters fight fires by starting controlled burns in their path to starve them of fuel. The obvious danger of the Tyrannids explains why the old ones stored them outside of the galaxy, with them being awoken and lured in by the activation of Necron technology.
@@WookieGroundZero I'd like to see if The Deceiver can stand a chance against the Tyranids. Being the weakest of the C'Tan, and relying on deceit and lies, I wonder if you can actually deceive or trick the Hivemind.
@@Blestyr that would be a really plot wist. The deceiver enslaving the hive mind out of lies and some luck.

Never trust a god.
One thing I find really interesting is there are suggestions in the 9th edition Necrons codex that the C'tan had important roles in governing the universe, and thus shattering them may have had major consequences.
Maybe they passively acted as a barrier against the Immaterium and the Chaos Gods' influence? Then the Necrons destroying or breaking them into shards kind of destabilized that protection. Like making holes in a dam that was stopping Chaos' influence from being too strong in this universe at least
The whole reason the Necrons didn’t (or couldn’t) kill the C’tan was because doing so would seriously mess up reality.
Killing them, not shattering. They are not dead, just in pieces. They killed one btw.
@@wankerbush3769
No, the implication is directly that shattering the C'tan had serious consequences. And apparently the Necrons knew, but didn't care.
@@corvididaecorax2991 *killing, not shattering.
They shattered the ctan because outright killing them resulted in "consequences" but shattering did not.
The one ctan they did supposedly kill was Llandu'gor, the Flayer, who cursed the necrons as It died and created the flayer virus.
There is a theory that the Flayer is not actually dead, but is instead shattered into shards so small that it can't reform, those shards being the flayer virus itself. Or something along those lines.
I am unsure if the flayer virus was the only consequence of permanently killing the Flayer or if there was additional unspecified shifting/destruction of the laws of reality as well, if anyone has any text on the matter it's greatly appreciated.
Old C'Tan lore: We own the Necrons
New C'Tan lore: *_Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all_*
Yeah, it’s not the best retcon.
You could have a C’tan as the shot caller in your army if you want.
I’m just hoping he covers the Squats/Leagues of Votann at some point.
@@Fulgrim2 that would require Games Workshop to cover the leagues of Votann lore first lol
I mean the Necron killed one of them and guess what happen the C'tan cursed them with Flayer virus before it got destroyed and cause shock wave across the universe
@Alexander Frovich It's one of the worst ever implemented by GW. If you're going to retcon, retcon the details, not the fundamentals. This retcon completely broke who the Necrons were first conceived to be at their 3rd edition premier. Matt Ward, unfortunately, had far too much say in this lore upheaval, and really did his worst.
I don’t remember if this is old lore or new lore, but I really like the idea the reason the home star of the Necrontyr’s is so radioactive because one of the C’tan was feeding on it.
Same
Yup. I love this idea
Wouldn't that reduce its energy output (since its fuel is being stolen by the c'tan) and therefore its radioactivity would be reduced?
@@jmc2830 in canon they steal 100s of millions of years worth of life off the stars they leech from. To mortal eyes it is irrelevant with a +8 billion life span of a star.
Also yes I think slight reduction in luminosity is how they detected the one that would become the deceiver.
The extra irradiation isn't very logical but...ya know...eldritch star vampire has to do some tangible harm.
@@jmc2830It’s possible a C’tan feeding on a star could shift a main sequence star to a non main sequence star. Or while a C’tan is feeding it would temporarily destabilize the star and cause it to give off types of radiation it wouldn’t normally give off. Or shift the intensity of different radiation it normally gives off. Or the star itself isn’t the issue at all, and the C’tan is the thing giving off the harmful radiation.
I feel like this is something the author who wrote that particular piece of lore just thought it sounded cool. Probably didn’t occur to them that someone would try applying proper science to it.
“That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die~”
Good line to sum up the c’tan and the necrons.
Aah, good old Lovecraft.
It’s our boy.

Void Dragon is C'tan, possibly being true Omnissiah, worshipped by Adeptus Mechanicus. And being C'tan that makes him... Broken God. And Mechanicus - Church Of The Broken God...

I'm a 40k lore junkie, and while I know the lore you're presenting pretty darn well, you've made it new and fresh again, along with putting in lore details I've never heard before. I'd follow your channel even if you decided to devote yourself entirely to Muppets lore.
“The day Fozzy destroyed the world”
I'd sub for Muppets lore 😂

The parallels between some C'tan and Chaos Gods are striking.
I do love my SCP content but I cannot even tell you how excited I am for the every other week 40K videos you’re doing now. I’m sure they’ll take off even further with the drop of 10th edition and the TV show
How optimistic are you for the show? 1-10
@@kingrainbow5432 well it’s too early to say accurately but as of right now with Cavill at the helm I’m about an 8
So, regarding the who de-warped areas of the galaxy, the Old Ones created the Krorks to serve as blunt force instruments that would fight and fight and fight without any concern for themselves. They were 12m tall and used sophisticated weaponry, Krorks also sorta got out of control once the Old Ones died, as their genetic imperative was fight the strongest enemies without reservation.
Don't know what we were worried about. We all knew TES would crush 40k content. I love it.
Elaborate please?
@@Doberdobax I'm so confused
Hahahahaha.... No
Do You mean The Elder Scrolls?
@@BrunoCampos0122 what channel are you commenting on right now?
Bless you, man. We're here for YOUR content, not just whatever you choose each time. I'm excited for all of YOUR uploads, because you make good content, regardless of topic. You make it yours.
This is one of the first time I've hear their actual names. Maybe noone else was brave enough.
Reading Lovecraft must have helped.
I love the C'tan so much! Their lore is so intresting, but always so weird that C'tan are material gods that embody physical concepts yet all reside in the milky way lol
It isnt guaranteed that they do. There could be trillions more out in the cosmos.
And beside that, they learned of tasty souls in the milky way. They maybe found that out in other galaxies too. Just all the more reason to settle down where there's souls to be had.
Two things:
1. It's worth a mention that Krorks(current Orcs) were created for the sole purpose of fighting Necrons and Ctan, otherwise Eldar would be anihilated by now, as ironic as it sounds.
2. Its confirmed that dragon Emperor fought is the Void Dragon, one of the biggest shards which escaped Necrons.
Its Krorks
Current orks aren’t krorks, Krorks are effectively a different species - this is discussed in length in the trazyn novels amongst others. Further, almost all species were made for fighting the C’tan, other than the Tau and Nids
@@TheSlizzer348 thats a bit off the mark, the orks are devolved krorks, and under the right circumstances they can reform back into krorks, so it almost seems like a built in safety mechanism
You're crushing these! I'm actually learning things I hadn't known despite being into 40k for ages!
I recently bought Horus Rising, the first book in the Horus Heresy series. These videos (and their excellent narrator) really got me interested in the Warhammer 40K universe!
Wait ‘til you get to books 4 & 5. Shit gets crazy.
Love to see Zarhulash and the Pharos getting a mention
I love how you say "reality bending" in the same manner as in your SCPs videos
Ever since I went and listened to all the w40k playlist I've been really looking forward to these, just as much as the scp ones.
i dont really have the time, but id love to learn more of the 40k lore. the concept of massive cities dedicated to a single purpose, abandoning entire planets, and ancient war machines can be interesting
I read a book that was a legally distinct story of humans on earth living on a post apocalyptic warworld where genetically modified super soldiers in power armor manage the wars of humans, living in hightech sky cities, the creatures they worshipped were legally destinct c'tan now that i look back, and holy shit yeah did they ever live up to their legally destinct counterparts
Love the new 40K lore dives. This was great.
I must say, I love your 40k videos. Your old 40k videos are actually what drew me to your channel.
Love seeing you dive back into 40k again, man! SCPs are fun and all, but… Y’know…
WAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!
I'm glad you're revisiting 40k, it felt unfinished.
Started learning about 40k yesterday and just finished watching all your videos related to them, and now you just released a new one, thanks.
It should also be noted that the necron tyr cancer ridden existence was as a result of their strange star which was actually giving off foul radiation as a result of the ctan nightbringer who was parasiticly consuming it.
It was one of the reasons it was almost impossible to rectify their gene flaws even when far from the reach of their bad sun and with their very advanced technology as it was supernaturally burned into them for ages.
It is also probably the reason the necrontyr also had unusually awful and gloomy personalities even for a cancer ridden species as they were literally being blasted by radiation tainted by a evil sadistic star god. So they worshipped the being solely responsible for their predicament.
It isn’t confirmed that that’s what caused their sun to release so much radiation as no one knows when the Nightbringer began devouring their star
@@scole131 yes yes am sure the foul star god gorging on their star had nothing to do with the fact that their star was intrinsically "malfunctioning" and resulted in their genes being twisted to an unnatural degree.
I freaking love how wholesome and supportive the comment sections for homeboys videos are. I fell in love with this channel for the SCP stuff and had just begun to find interest in 40K, but when he said he was gonna do videos on it I was genuinely excited to have Broseph be a part of that. Much love.
I love how the darkness of this universe only comes about when the old ones refuse to help the necrontyr. Every terrible thing, even the corruption of the immaterium, can be traced back to that single crime. That one lack of compassion
Start doing this my dude. Do an exploring series on all this ancient lore. This is the 40k I love.
I don’t care what you talk about. SCP, 40k or even just reading a children’s book, etc. You have a voice the could make the biggest meanest cat purr. I love it ❤
Man, I came for the SCP videos, but i'm in love with these 40k videos. I've actually watched some outside of TES to explore the lore more. Looking forward to more!
Great job manng, can't wait to see the rest of your 40k series
Thanks for expanding into 40k, I love the way you break apart topics!
Hey man I love your content so so much been a fan for 4 years now. Please do deep dives into astartes legions! Even if it’s already been done by Lueten,Bald or Major I think yours would be better. I would commit to the long format and it’d be one of your best viewed
40k and scp i love the combo. Keep at it tes, the imperium demands it. Only in death does duty end, or my prefered: oif u do not serve in combat, you will seeve on the firing line.
I just found this series and then the channel, and I am so happy to find out you're still adding to this Playlist :)
As a newbie to 40k lore these videos have been awesome to watch and are so interesting. It’s so exciting that you are giving these 40k vids the same love as your SCP content. Both are bangers. Keep up the good work
Check out Luetin and Weshammer if you dig it. They’re quite good as well.
Man this shit is a lot more comprehensive and interesting than when my dad tried to explain to me with his miniatures
Headcanon: the shard of Y'ggrania which left our galaxy wound up in the original home galaxy of the Tyranids, possibly having gone through a time warp to the past and originally started the Tyranids on the idea of coming here, or else just feeding happily on all the stars left unpopulated after the Tyranids ate everything organic.
If anyone wants a bit more insight into how the C’Tan have such immense reality warping powers without using the warp, I highly recommend reading The Infinite and the Divine, which includes a battle with a particularly powerful set of shards of the deceiver. The way it’s implied in that book is essentially the C’Tan see the 1’s and 0’s that make up the fundamental “code” of reality, and can rewrite it as they see fit. Whereas a warp entity would draw upon the fundamental otherness of the immaterium, the C’Tan achieve a similar effect by changing a 1 to a 0, essentially.
I love your 40K content, and this is the perfect video for me today as not even an hour ago i painted my shard of the night bringer
I'm currently sharpening my painting skills to paint the Void Dragon to the degree it deserves. Necrons are such a joy to paint!
Keep up the 40k content PLEASE!
I honestly was feeling WH40k fatigue, but I guess when its done by The Exploring Series its so good it don't matter. This was good.
I like the atmosphere this video captures. I find it very well put together.
The dragon of mars used to be the for 30 and more years the boogeyman of the lore
Something so powerful to survive the sharding and be a looming menace hinting to be slumbering on mars and be the omniassh
Then they decided to dump all that stuff and make him a glorified pokeball like the nightbringer and the deceiver
I still hope for the outsider to come back as a full c tan and teach everyone the true meaning of terror
With them being the new kids on the block, I hope we get a video dedicated to the Leagues of Votann at some point. Though I'm not sure how much lore there is out there for them yet.
Need a full series about the ctan and nekron
I feel like not flashing an image of Senator Armstrong when you said Nanomachines was such a missed opportunity.
Building my T'au army this year. Loving the 40k videos. I couldn't get them fast enough if you had a production team dropping them daily. Fuck, I love your channel man.

I like this new video schedule, different topics in different universes, love it 💕
Man I wish the Nightbringer wasn’t still made from Finecast Resin
More 40k please! Your amazing at narrating!
I wonder who would win in a fight between a C'Tan or a Photino Bird from Xeelee Sequence.
New The Exploring Series vid! My morning was pissing me off, but now... now it's pissing me off a tiny bit less.
A rather excellent video, as ever. I love hearing this style of narration for 40k, especially my beloved skeletons. Anyways, three comments:
-The necrons actually had better tech than the old ones, but the webway allowed them to outmanuever them and defeat them in detail
-Its easy to know whether or not the dragon of mars/omnissiah is the void dragon shard because the author of mechanicum outright said it was out of universe
-Your art selection was excellent as always, I just thought it was kind of funny when you started talking about the deciever you switched to a nightbringer pic, as with a couple other C'tan. That being said the amount of C'tan art is kind of limited...
Keep up the good work!
The last time you did warhammer was three years ago, I'm glad your back on it.
Imagine being one of the most powerful beings in the universe, and a race comparable to mice defeats you, and makes you a vehicle engine.

Don’t forget the ‘dragon’ of Mars is actually The Eater of Knowledge
Nice video. The C'tan are some of my favorite characters.
My final essay is finished. Now I can sleep. What is better to fall asleep to than TES 40k video? Nothing.
As someone who’s favorite thing in Warhammer is the C’tan, this video is very good!
I had no idea you were into 40k lore. I already love your content but now I love it even more!
They basically started off as Boltzmann brains
Not gonna lie, I'm really liking this alternating 40K and SCP thing.
This is some tasty tasty lore! Got me invested in a new universe!
hurray!! my fav youtube channel here to explain more things for me to bastardize in my dnd campaigns, you are invaluable 💖✨
I'm glad your sticking your toes back in war hammer. It's like my bloody warm blanket
"According to one c'tan, known as the Deceiver...." stop right there, I've already heard more than I need to.
Loving the SCP style analysis of Warhammer.
I love the 40k lore, well done
The Silent King really used the burning one's power to keep his Ford escape hybrid running, the disrespect😂😂😂
Just now got the irony of necrodermis meaning living metal lol
Please, please, please. Make more long form 40k videos. I recently started getting into 40k and I absolutely LOVE the lore elements that come with the universe. Your first few 40k videos are some of my favorites you've ever posted (Along with your readings of HP. Lovecraft and a large number of SCP entries/scenarios)
Thank you for making these videos as well. 😁😁
"Entire systems swallowed by black holes" so there is a non-zero chance that there are some pockets of Old Ones and Krorks and unsullied Aeldari existing in out-of-time pockets of space as they perpetually fall into a black hole? A second on the inside of that system would pass as an eon in real space, perhaps even allowing small excursions out of the black hole and back into real space.
love a new exploring vid, rock out
The C'tan are so cool and beyond powerful as multi solar systems or galaxy level in full form even before consuming each other and becoming even more powerful. I love the hints in new lore that the War in Heaven was universe level and not just one Galaxy hope we see a War in Heaven series of books where we get foundations for the universe.
I was sold on Necrons from the moment i heard of them "breaking their gods and using them as tools."
Straight to the interesting parts i see, wonderful!

I really of hope you do a video on the old ones I would be very interested in hearing about them to be honest 🤗
Wasn't sure if I was going to like the Warhammer stories, but I'm giving it a shot and so far I think I like it 🎉
I hear that The CTan got settled and people started getting wood for sheep
Technically all of necron history could be lies placed their by the deciver. It could be that the Necron are just that, robots.
What kind of motor you got in there, The silent king “my shackled god”. That’s boss vibes if I’ve ever seen them
congrats on 900k man love the videos
After Dark Souls, 40k is my favorite universe to explore. SCP is interesting but gets old really fast.

Back to in depth 40k ❤❤ thank you
I don't know what really makes them gods of realspace when they're just powerful parasites that need to feed on stars and other forms of energy to survive. If they were still based on the old lore and were the literal embodiments of fundamental forces of reality such as time and entropy, then it would make sense to call them gods.
A shard of a C'tan can manipulate space and time, shards have been seen causing black holes that sucked planets up and even entire solar systems destroyed easily by them. They can erase you from existence as well as reshape matter and energy
I loved your SPC stuff, I love this more!
SPC or SCP? SPC is the Shark Punching Center, who I think have successfully terminated their version of SCP 682.
