Hey gang! Few things. 1) please feel free to point out errors. There’s a lot of lore on 40K and a lot of sources I’ve missed or assumptions I’ve made. As I’ve said knowledge is a journey, and I’m happy to learn if I’m wrong so please leave corrections below if you feel compelled. Happy to hear them. 2) huge thanks to @@KimberPrime for helping me gather Space Marine 1 footage. For whatever reason my copy was totally FUBAR and I wasn’t able to get it done in decent time. She was a huge help.
In case you missed it, there was an article in White Dwarf issue 498 about what happened to Titus between the two games. I'm not sure if it got worked into his Lexicanum article or not, but if you intend to cover more about the game specifically, thought I ought to at least let you know in advance.
There are no "lore errors" in 40k just tides of the warp. Inconsistences are baked in. :) but on a serious note, great first 40k vid, can't wait for more!
A nitpick as tiny as the Great Lusting One's appreciation of celebate: I believe it's pronounced "Si-Ka-Triks Maledictum". Feels more earpleasing that way, also might have heared it in an audiobook. Thanks for your glorious work!
Byf dips his toes into the 40k lore puddle, not realizing that the puddle goes down several miles and that the eldritch tentacles are primed to drag him in, screaming AND willing

@@Corrupted_Hivemind if you like Gunpla aesthetics boy do I have the factions for you: Craftworld Aeldari and Tau both have giant mecha at their disposal of different anime inspired flavors. Tau battlesuits are more grounded scifi looking with jet boosters and energy weapons ala Armored Core, while Wraith Knights of the Aeldar are basically mecha samurai.
To watch Byf go from Warframe and Destiny 2 to the godfather of Grimdarks, WH40k....this feels like it was a long time coming. And boy, am I here for it.
For added context, I bought total warhammer 3 (the fantasy version of this setting) because I learned that by playing the Slanesh faction, I could turn the Korne held bloodskull mountain to a different bodily fluid. And it wasn't black bile, that would be Nurgle.
it's a common misconception, but the whole deal with Slaanesh is excess. it's not just sex but in all things. Emperor's children have a whole hair metal 80s band flavor to them because the "drugs sex and rock n roll" tropes of the 80s and 90s were a perfect example of being excessive in a person's lifestyle at the time. there are also themes of obsessive behavior, perfectionism, gluttony, hoarding of wealth, extreme emotional distress, etc.
@burnin8able another thing worth of note about the 40k Fandom for the uninitiated. Memes. 40k nerds love their memes, and it can lead to misconceptions about the lore. Like tech priests and toasters. In the case of Slanesh, yes, they are all these things, but sex is the "loudest" (hehe, noise marines) element. The daemon units don't look like androgynous strippers for nothing. They represent the Eldar hedonism taken to excess.
@@TheAsylumCat oh yeah. the memes are everywhere, as biased and half-truthful as the lore itself. Aeldar hedonism is more torture and pain than anything else. Hell, look at the Drukari: they leaned into effectively bribing slaanesh with a Monsters Inc scream factory to keep her off their back for as long as they can.
@@MynameisByf It's a great video! It's easy to make that assumption because angron is the angry one. Angrons Fall is a tragic one because he was supposed to be the diplomat of the primarchs after the great crusade was over.
@@MynameisByf One thing to note is that the treaty between Terra and Mars was meant to be a massive compromise on both sides. Big E absolutely despises religion in general because he's basically reddit personified, but he knew he couldn't fight the mechanicum and win, and also he needed their starship foundries for his outward expansion. The mechanicum wanted to exploit big E's forces for their own outward expansionist efforts, so they basically just made up some BS about the emperor being an avatar of the machine god so it was easier to swallow. They did NOT believe this genuinely at the time, but it became dogma over the millennia.
Minor correction many Martians did believe that the emperor was a physical manifestation of the Machine god, hence why he was called the Omnisiah. However there was a good amount of Martians who did not believe that the emperor was the Omnisiah. Kelbor Hal, the Fabricator Genral of Mars being among them. Which is why during the Horus Heresy Mars very much fell under traitor leadership. @@burnin8able
@@burnin8able the emperor isn't "reddit personified." he understands that faith is a very dangerous weapon in a world where emotions cause ripple effects in a parallel universe. even faith in him is very dangerous because it's very easy to claim that you represent him if he lives on a planet many light years away. that's why he hates religion, all his actions were done in service of shepherding humanity to prosper without having to fear Chaos, a very delicate task given humanity's great potential for psychic power the reason why reddit atheists are cringeworthy is because most people's faith in a religion makes no real impact on our world, if believing strongly in something literally caused demons to exist then yelling at people to stop being religious would be completely valid
You forgot to mention the Khan when listing the Primarchs. Everyone always forgets the Khan…🥲 That said, fantastic video regardless, great way of breaking down the broad strokes of 40k lore. Would love to see more Space Marine 2 and 40k vids on the channel! Keep up the great work as always Byf!
Normaly I play a game and think "damn, I want to know more about the lore", Byf with the uno reverse card making me want to play the game because of the lore
Just to give you some existential dread, your love of Warhammer Lore is as old as I am. I've only just dipped my toe into the lore so I have another lifetime to try catch up now haha.
@@krackawoody2556 to be honest as big and as daunting as it looks, it’s not. I’d definitely do as byf said check out luetin09 videos on the emperor. Then I’d check out brickys video on the factions. He gives a quick fun breakdown of each faction. That gives you a good start then you can cherry pick the bits of lore from the factions your interested in.
@@9Reports IT IS NEW to this channel, and Space Marine 2 IS A NEW game, that's what I meant by new. Why would I think Warhammer is a new thing. The way I see it almost every modern sci-fi game takes inspiration from Warhammer, and almost every modern fantasy game takes inspiration from DnD. They are just the most established templates/models for setting and world-building.
Fantastic video! I'd like to add one of my all time favourite quotes from Warhammer lore, 'You will die as your weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed'-Sigismund.
I stopped playing destiny what feels like ages ago, forgot how much I missed your intros. Almost as nostalgic as making an attempt at mercury every weekend on the OG trials. Been wanting to learn about 40K, was super happy to see your channel doing it.
Byf! I think WarHammer 40K lore is perfect for you to cover. There is such an expansive universe and there is a ridiculous amount of lore behind the games-physical or digital. I will make sure to watch this all the way through to get this through the algorithm.
Byf, I can tell you this: You will never. Ever run out of content. Not ever. The Fans you tease now will not be fans long. They will soon become your Brothers. And they will be Loyal. You lay the ground work for the Sons of Byf to take shape. It is a great calling. A great responsibility. If you upload the Call, we will answer. FOR THE EMPEROR!
Small correction, the Thousand sons became Rubric Marines AFTER the Heresy, during they were just a small legion of incredibly powerful psykers, it wasn't until Ahriman cast his "Great Rubric" in an attempt to cure the flesh change (a genetic defect that caused marines to randomly transform into mutant abominations and masses of tenticles) that all but the most powerful became dust inhabiting their armour.
Iv watched your channel since destiny 1! Some of your earliest videos and youve allways been my favorite! Dispite leaving destiny i still kept up through your channel! Im extremely excited to see you branch into new topics!
I've been a fan of 40k for 22 years, and I'm really happy that it's now got a lore video made by the great lore master Byf. I hope you make more as you did a great job giving a background summary of the 40k universe and the plot of the original game.
happy to see you broaden your horizons Byf! As someone who loves the lore of both 40k and Age of Sigmar, there is a lot to enjoy from both warhammer universes and would love to see you make more videos like this :3
Thank you so much for making this video. I've always looked at 40k from afar and decided to jump into Space Marine 2 as my initiation. This is such a great story and this makes me excited to keep playing. Knowing me, I'll probably start reading the books soon...
One thing that might be worth noting for people is that the prinarchs that survived the heresy essentially all went absent for 10,000 years shortly after.. Guillaman mortally wounded and placed in stasis. Vulcan Mia. Russ chasing heretics into the eye of terror etc etc. their absence is partly why the imperium has decayed so much. Upon his recent resurrection Guilliman was disgusted by the state of what ot has become, but feels he can't tear it apart as the faith his father hates so much abd the fought so hard against is the only thing holding it all together. So for the events of sm1 Roubute is still essentially a corpse held on the edge of death. He becomes active again in-between space marine 1 and 2
Just off what I’ve heard, to do a ‘primer’ of overall warhammer 40k lore is like dipping your toe in an ocean. I have a feeling byf is gonna have a lot of fun with this.
I’ve watched most of your Destiny Videos , and now I look forward to hearing you talk about my other favourite sci fi setting. I will probably already know all the stuff you will mention but that ain’t gonna stop me from enjoying you getting into another Lore Heavy series 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I've always wanted to dip my toe into the wonders of war hammer 40K lore, but had no idea where to start. This is such an incredibly convenient, starting point all with a complete game to dive into if my interest peaks. Thank you Byf for doing this! I plan on watching this video a few times for the patterns to set in. I'm so freaking excited!
As a massive space wolfs fan is so great to see byf covering 40k have t played the tabletop game in years but god it was fun and the lore omg is massive
I can’t explain the excitement I got when I saw your name on warhammer thumbnail. Please do more 40K content. Your channels story telling is top tier. I’d love to hear you talk about this universe and its lore more in depth.
As a fan of 40 k and a fan of byf partly because of how you do your content partly because your voice is soothing and I am probably gonna sleep to this tonight
Awesome job, Byf! My husband got me into 40K. He's a big fan of the series! I will have to share your video with him. You did a great job of introducing the world of 40K and I look forward to...hopefully...future videos from you of the series.
BYF!!! Amazing!!! I recently got into Warhammer 6 months ago, and I am so stupidly happy to know my favorite lore lover is branching over to this fandom with me!!! Immediately sent this to everyone I know who loves your content but were on the edge about getting into Warhammer
29:47 - 30:00 _I have _*_never_*_ had the threat of the Tyranids illustrated to me with such a statement as the one you used in this instance._ *_Well done Byf!_*
Please keep pushing in this direction, it’s a great change of pace and the idea of 40k lore videos with Dynasty level production value sounds absolutely amazing
Hell yes! I'm so happy right now! Byf is a master of lore and I'm so thrilled he's covering Warhammer 40K now! One of my favorite voices now comes to 40k to bring us lore. This is great!
You have been my favourite lore youtuber to watch for years and now you are making the journey into one of my favourite franchises, today is a good day.
I didn't know how much that I needed to hear Byf say, "In the Grim Darkness of the far future, there is only War." Now I have and that is how I will always read it in his voice for the rest of time. Thank you good sir.
YES! Byf, this is exactly the kind of universe that you can excel in. There is so much deep and interesting lore that spans literal millennia, and you can dig really deep into the past and theoretical future of this universe. Don't abandon Destiny, but definitely expand to this universe if you're interested! I'm all in.
Man. I'm so glad Byf covered this. I just bought the game over thr weekend and I was super confused as to why Titus had to redeem himself after that fired mission. I thought I had missed a viral plot point while reading tutorials.
First time player of a Warhammer 40k game with Space Marine 2 or anything related with this universe, gotta say the game has been so cool and the names and stuff so attractive that came looking for info and found your vid. Thank you man even tho the trip is just starting you made it very interesting with your narration.

happy to see you broaden your horizons Byf! As someone who loves the lore of both 40k and Age of Sigmar, there is a lot to enjoy from both warhammer universes and would love to see you make more videos like this :3
The best lore RUclipsr is now doing lore videos on a hobby I’ve loved for two decades. I am saluting in more ways than one.
72 hour lore video for the complete history of 40K coming when?
40k feels like a perfect fit for byf. I love that the one other channel i watch for 40k lore is also byf's favorite
Introduction Video for 40K
1 Hour Long
That checks out
Oh Byf and 40K is a treat my ears weren’t prepared for
Please please please don't stop the 40k lore!
Thank you so much for making this video. I've always looked at 40k from afar and decided to jump into Space Marine 2 as my initiation. This is such a great story and this makes me excited to keep playing. Knowing me, I'll probably start reading the books soon...
Byf you've opened a can of worms I don't think anyone can close by making this video
One thing that might be worth noting for people is that the prinarchs that survived the heresy essentially all went absent for 10,000 years shortly after.. Guillaman mortally wounded and placed in stasis. Vulcan Mia. Russ chasing heretics into the eye of terror etc etc. their absence is partly why the imperium has decayed so much.
Upon his recent resurrection Guilliman was disgusted by the state of what ot has become, but feels he can't tear it apart as the faith his father hates so much abd the fought so hard against is the only thing holding it all together.
So for the events of sm1 Roubute is still essentially a corpse held on the edge of death. He becomes active again in-between space marine 1 and 2
Reject the Traveler, embrace your duty to The Emperor ✊️
Just off what I’ve heard, to do a ‘primer’ of overall warhammer 40k lore is like dipping your toe in an ocean. I have a feeling byf is gonna have a lot of fun with this.
Well boys, he has finaly started the plunge
I’ve watched most of your Destiny Videos , and now I look forward to hearing you talk about my other favourite sci fi setting. I will probably already know all the stuff you will mention but that ain’t gonna stop me from enjoying you getting into another Lore Heavy series 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Bungie executives fumbled so bad, bfy now doin 40K
It’s honestly kind of sad what Pete Parsons has allowed to happen to Destiny. Creator after creator jumping ship to WOW and other gsmes
I've always wanted to dip my toe into the wonders of war hammer 40K lore, but had no idea where to start. This is such an incredibly convenient, starting point all with a complete game to dive into if my interest peaks. Thank you Byf for doing this! I plan on watching this video a few times for the patterns to set in. I'm so freaking excited!
The billions of dead normal human soldiers aren't even remembered?!?!!??!?!?! What a future.
As a massive space wolfs fan is so great to see byf covering 40k have t played the tabletop game in years but god it was fun and the lore omg is massive
Warhammer is such a big universe. I have two guys I talk to on Xbox, that talk about it so much. And I’m somewhat learning. So lots of lore incoming.
I can’t explain the excitement I got when I saw your name on warhammer thumbnail. Please do more 40K content. Your channels story telling is top tier. I’d love to hear you talk about this universe and its lore more in depth.
As a fan of 40 k and a fan of byf partly because of how you do your content partly because your voice is soothing and I am probably gonna sleep to this tonight
YESSSS. I stopped playing D2 a while back but missed your voice. Excited for this vid!
I quit destiny a few years ago, but I've missed your videos and hope to see you do more Warhammer 40k lore ty.
This was absolutely fantastic. The chain sword line was literally my favorite.
Awesome job, Byf! My husband got me into 40K. He's a big fan of the series! I will have to share your video with him. You did a great job of introducing the world of 40K and I look forward to...hopefully...future videos from you of the series.
Yesssssss!!!!!! Holy crap I never would have dreamed the day Byf did a Warhammer 40k lore video!
I literally didnt know a single thing about 40k other than the name, and that there is a LOT of lore. Absolutely perfect video.
I'm so happy Byf is doing 40k/Space Marine 2.
I finished the campaign, and oh boy, there's SO much to delve into!
I am so incredibly happy. I got chills when you said the grimdark bit.
My brother, I cannot wait to watch you embrace the world of 40k.
BYF!!! Amazing!!! I recently got into Warhammer 6 months ago, and I am so stupidly happy to know my favorite lore lover is branching over to this fandom with me!!! Immediately sent this to everyone I know who loves your content but were on the edge about getting into Warhammer
29:47 - 30:00 _I have _*_never_*_ had the threat of the Tyranids illustrated to me with such a statement as the one you used in this instance._
*_Well done Byf!_*
Please keep pushing in this direction, it’s a great change of pace and the idea of 40k lore videos with Dynasty level production value sounds absolutely amazing
I'm honestly thankful you begin to cover the lore and events here too, looking forward for more like those!
Awesome to here Leutin getting a call out and I can see why this is such an accurate and excellent video
Hell yes! I'm so happy right now! Byf is a master of lore and I'm so thrilled he's covering Warhammer 40K now! One of my favorite voices now comes to 40k to bring us lore. This is great!
You tackled a beast of lore in this one brother. I’ve always been super intimidated by even starting.
this is a great great news seeing Byf doing Warhammer 40k videos is heart warming.
Man I was really wanting the “Greetings Astartes, MyNameIsByf here.”
There's already a big lore community but I'm glad you're going to be joining it Byf. You'll have a much better collection of subject matter here
You have been my favourite lore youtuber to watch for years and now you are making the journey into one of my favourite franchises, today is a good day.
I didn't know how much that I needed to hear Byf say, "In the Grim Darkness of the far future, there is only War." Now I have and that is how I will always read it in his voice for the rest of time. Thank you good sir.
Seeing Byf join the Warhammer 40k crowd is the best good surprise of the year! Welcome to the party.
been enjoying building my army of necrons in real life, now im gonna do the marines next
YES! Byf, this is exactly the kind of universe that you can excel in. There is so much deep and interesting lore that spans literal millennia, and you can dig really deep into the past and theoretical future of this universe. Don't abandon Destiny, but definitely expand to this universe if you're interested! I'm all in.
Ive always wanted to explore 40k universe. Byf and his lore content seems perfect for this universe and im ALL FOR IT
Byf could probably even make my prep cook routine sound epic. What a voice
Grabbing popcorn and waiting on @Luetin09 to see Byf on his turf. 2 Lore daddies with amazing voices. The 40k world cant handle it.
Three minutes in and I'm loving the inculsion of the Dawn of War soundtrack! Brilliant stuff!
Man. I'm so glad Byf covered this. I just bought the game over thr weekend and I was super confused as to why Titus had to redeem himself after that fired mission. I thought I had missed a viral plot point while reading tutorials.
First time player of a Warhammer 40k game with Space Marine 2 or anything related with this universe, gotta say the game has been so cool and the names and stuff so attractive that came looking for info and found your vid. Thank you man even tho the trip is just starting you made it very interesting with your narration.
Thank you SO MUCH for this. Space Marine 2 is my introduction to the Warhammer universe. So this is GREAT lore info.
time to watch byf again. it's been a minute.
I was just thinking how you would be perfect for 40k. It’s such a crazy universe and your quality of lore coverage would bring it to life.
BYF on 40k lore??? Let’s freaking gooooo!!!!!!
