Lol. I saw a pilots log about potential problems with the plane once that reminds me of this. The pilot had written in the log - "Sounds like mice banging on engine with hammer." The mechanics replied to the log with - "Found and took away hammer from mice". Lol. Still makes me smile but first time I saw it I just laughed. Especially cause it was 100% legit paperwork from Delta. Lol.
A mate had a car like 20 years old, legit should not have been running, had not right to do so. He took it in to the mechanics and they told him i dont know how this shibox is still running and watched him turn it on. He named the car patted it would encourage it almost talk to it like a reaally good dog and it would turn on. Every. Time. That thing had a machine spirit that loved him to its core
As I understand it, an STC is like finding not only the blueprint for a Ford F-150, but also the blueprint for the factory, the chemistry formula for the steel alloy for the frame and rubber and literally every scrap of science needed to make a Ford F-150. Which is why an STC is so significant. It's not just the tech in question, but also the tertiary and secondary techs that come with it.
And, depending on what people are referring to when they say “STC”, it could also be all of the labourers, specialists and templates involved as well. Such as in the Gaunt’s ghosts book…
Original STC were a one stop shop factory, blueprint, manufacturing doodad that supplied a colony with everything it could possibly need.... most of them are completely gone, destroyed or corrupted and finding a fragment of one that is useful is a big deal.
Yes. As I understand, it is unlocking a whole production chain. It does not mean you understand it or how you would go about to improve it (The last one is tech heresy anyway, so do not try!). But when you activate it, you know what to do. I think it is meant to be vague on how it does it. Suggesting it everything from just a lot of blueprints and instructions, to a full-blown advanced AI that sets it all the steps for you as a hyper-advanced tutorial wizard.
Just for context, "I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds," is a quote from an Hindu Poem the Bhagavad Gita. He had a huge interest in Buddhist philosophy and morality. And the whole poem deals with how one can do horrible things for a good cause.
I'm pretty sure it's misinterpreted. The one word that is misinterpreted is the "death" part. The original meaning is "time". Time which eventually brings the end to all things no matter how hard you try. The Hindu character in the original story was flexing his powers. That they themselves were time. Endless and all powerful.
The USA by the late 90s, could not build the Saturn V rockets any more, despite still having all the documentation and plans. Manufacturing approaches have changed so much.
not so much that, but all the little shortcuts had been lost because the guys doing the work didnt write down every single change down. but also around that time the engines, which were the hang up had a replacement that was more powerful and more efficient while weighing less.
That's exsacly it, noone has had to do that welding for 50 years so it'd take a decade or more to relearn how as the people left to teach you have all died or forgotten how given how long it's been
I immediately went and looked up Cawl and the Cawl inferior (which is the hilariously named totally not ai machine he gave Guilliman), and I absolutely love every part of that story. I could listen to you guys talking 40k lore forever.
Funfact. The inferior often requests that in exchange for its help, guilliman elevates cawl to the fabricator-general (read head honcho) of Mars. And when asked cawl straight up said yea I don't want that and I never told this thing I did.
Don’t forget that Imperial Titans and Knights weren’t originally intended to be war machines. They were *terraforming* machines, used for clearing trees and mountains. Now imagine what the combat machines looked like. Whatever you just imagined? They were probably cooler. But humanity has complete lost that knowledge and will probably never get it back. That’s the level of loss we’re talking about with Old Night.
Particularly as they hate Abominable Intelligences...I suspect the "war" machines would make far too much use of AI for the AdMech to accept as Omnissah-sent
Hello from Russia. I found you in RUclips shorts because I watch a lot of warhammer material. I'm gathering an army of Dark Angels for 1000 pts and slowly painting the Phobos kill team. I'm mostly familiar with Warhammer's lore, but your delivery is simply gorgeous and because of it I watched everything that is on the channel. Спасибо за контент)
From Russia with love , приятно осознавать , что даже находясь на Дальнем востоке , алгоритмы ютуба позволили позволили найти ваш канал , забавная штука , познакомился с вархаммером благодаря коллеге с работы по радио , который во время эфиров красил миниатюры Эльдар , местами начинает казаться , что мы ближе остальных стран к пониманию Империума
Actually as the Manhattan Project was occurring, they were simultaneously drafting ideas about energy production using nuclear means. They bombs were dropped in July and in August “The Atomic Age” was released speaking on peaceful nuclear energy. It did take about 6 years for scientists to actually harness energy from a nuclear reactor, but it was a semi concurrent thought process. 🎉 23:56
Older cherub lore has it that, given that its 40k and things are bad, the infant mortality rate is so high. Meaning that all these dead infants unknowingly committed the sin of not giving the Emperor their life, so every dead infant was made into a cherub as a form of protection of their otherwise innocent soul so that they could serve the Emperor even though they never truly lived.
Again, i'd love to see a full deep dive into the Battle of Sisters, they are my favourite faction due to how over the top they are and also fun fact I'm making my own subfaction of the Battle Sisters called The Order of the Faded Rose
@@w4iph yep, one of my favourite things about them is the fact that they can drop entire churches on planets and say "yep that's sanctioned now" lol and go invade
Russian here. There is no need to use VPN. This channel got recommended me through RUclips shorts. The reason why you don't see Russian audience in statistics is probably because there are no ads in Russia due to swift leaving. So yeah, we chillin here with no ads.
Just gotta say I'm so happy for you guys, the followers are exploding and you are doing great. What I love about this lore format that you guys have going is the fact that Isyander is super knowledgeable, and a great storyteller, and Koda sucks up all the little tid-bits of precious knowledge and goes wild with it. You are a great duo, the "teaching podcast"-format you've guys got going for 40K is awesome. Keep it up. :)
I used to be a lil Canadian book nerd who didn't have even a passing interest in 40k. thanks to tiktok introducing me to you two, I have binged everything you two have released here and look forward to every new video :D I love Koda's references and bad jokes, I wish I could spare some money to sub to the patreon so I could watch EVEN MORE, my thirst for lore is insatiable
The scariest thing about the flood is the fact they both A) learn everything from things they infect and B) are older then the forerunners mean that at their peak they can use the "it's basically magic" tech of the precursors. 1 spore can doom a world and if the imperium dosent IMMEDIATELY exterminatus that planet the flood WILL win full stop
I would argue they are closer to a hybrid of Tyranid and Necrons, because they are intelligent, Scheming, Patient and a ever-expanding horde which will take every advantage from the things they consume and turn it to their advantage, there is even the potential at the logic plague could be used against the Necrons or even chaos Demons and that's on top of them developing their own psychic abilities The Flood from Halo if not immediately found and annihilated without mercy can probably body every popular sci-fi universe at the same time
@@northstar6278I think the Imperium is the perfect enemy to annihilate the flood as they would destroy them with impunity and any world overrun with flood would face exterminatus. Plus, if the Master Chief can body through wave after wave of flood, imagine what an entire Astartes legion could do.
@@disturbed1734 well heres the thing if the flood have taken over a whole planet then they have already left it and are moving on to the next as they would be the fastest faction in 40k and spread but even the marines would fall and just like the tyranids they would make ways to deal with them but far far faster and worse the thing about the flood they are billions of times smarter than the tyranids could ever hope to be there is next to no setting that could even live them much less contend with them beside maybe war in heaven era warhammer but even then it would be a slog and could go either way 40k the era stands zero chance
@@disturbed1734the problem with thw flood is that they are the elder god equivalent, except also tyraninds. Teh flood got beat because chief amd arby are lucky fuckers and got in early.
STCs usually had an AI in them. And they didnt teach how to make things after a point, they just created things for humans as they needed them. Humanity started to slowly forget how to make its own tech even before the age of strife.
One thing it seems you missed with the adeptus mechanicus during the Horus heresy is Cawl, the tech-priest who created the primaris marine’s & his forge world original joined the side of Horus & then switched back to the side of the imperium…. He fought with chaos & the dark mechanicus for a good while 😬🤘
Something to say, if I remember correctly, the Cawl Inferior, basically a clone of Cawl given to Guilliman, is suspected by the Fandom to be an Abominable Intelligence
It's not AI......it just has billions of pre recorded responses plus didn't you see the heads in jars. If it has heads in a jar then it's totally not AI ........
It would be cool if you guys did an episode where you cover a important planet in 40k. Like it's history, what life like is like there, the armies and residence that take up the planet. Like do the voting thing like you guys usually do, with 4 different planets as our choice.
Targeting a cultures information is more tragic than you'd think. It was recently discovered that ancient Rome had cranes, tech that was lost for over 1300 years til it was reinvented in the 1900s. The fall of the Mali Empire and burning of the Great Library of Timbuktu decentralized West Africa, sending the region into the Dark Ages and leading to the slave trade.
Personally if I've got a vote that even counts a little, I cried whisky laughing at your Orc 101 Video. The basis of they're whole power being manifestation is absolute hilarity and so so funny. I'd love a break down of they're society and so forth in depth. Much love for the content and editing boys, it's been too long since someone's produced consumable 40k Content that's informative and fun
Russian fan here, found you via shorts. The reason why you get little views from here could be language (English fluency is really low around here) and plenty of awesome Warhammer channels in Russian. But switching off unfavorable media sources is a real thing for anything politics-related.
been catching up to this since i just found you guys today and loving it. please just do a like 5 minute side bar for tyberos the red wake. that... thing... is a fucking legend. Edit: He got a whole ass patreon episode. I am content.
Just a little fyi for the mechanicus game, a really important thing to do is that when you find those terminals that give you currency when you scan them you can and should also destroy them afterwards to also reduce the awakening, this will both make the current mission you're on easier and also let you do more things and pick up more power ups before having to continue the story because the global awakening reached 100. When i played i kitted out a priest with as many movement buffs as possible and gave him the skill that boosts movement when only wielding melee weapons (the arc scourge counts as melee) and his only job was to run up to a terminal, scan it, smash it and go back out. As far as gear goes you can pick and mix the clothing and weapons and stuff like that to your heart's content but i have two very big pieces of advice. First of all, try to find AoE weapons as soon as possible. They really make things easier for you since plenty of enemies like scarabs come in high quantities but aren't too big themselves, and also even a weak aoe is enough to kill a downed necron, and also most aoe weapons have a single damage value that they apply to all enemies so things like canticles and blessings will boost that attack on *all* targets, aka a blessing that will turn a 10 damage single shot attack into a 20 damage single shot attack will also turn a 3 damage aoe into a 13 damage aoe. Secondly (might be even more important), if you find a mission that gives "cognition mechadendrites" as a reward do that mission *immediately* and then equip one of those bitches on each and every single one of your soldiers *immediately*. They reeeally help with the CP economy (especially lvl 2 or lvl 3 dendrites) thus letting you pack more guns and bigger guns and use more special abilities and let you go completely nova with everyone on your team on a single turn, which often trivializes encounters.
In reference to the early mention of "Is there any verse that could beat a united, focused Imperium?" I can think of a sci-fi verse that could, and it's Destiny. Guardians utterly violate the laws of reality and physics like daily. And ALL of them can do that, casually. Like, sure, are there powerful psykers who are stronger than guardians? Yes. But uh...drop Oryx on a good day in 40k and he clears that verse in 3-5 business days.
Loving the 40k, guys! Just wanted to suggest a video on the Sabbat Worlds, and the Sons of Sek in particular. I can't imagine it'll see too much recommendation, but i think you two could really do it well!
Fun thing about cargo cult tho: from what i know, there are missions and charity organizations that send aid to this island, so from those natives point of view, it actually works. And its a fun way to look at religion: your rituals may mean nothing to the gods and the may not even exist, but if you try hard enough you can attract SOMEONE'S attention, anc they could evdn answer, but their reason would be completely different.
Oppenheimer did not actually say "I am become death" He, 20 years later in 1965, was asked about what he thought at the time in an interview; this is where he said he thought of that verse In an earlier (1950's) interview, he said the quote was, If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one" (also from Bhagavad Gita)
I kinda have to make a comment on the nuclear stuff I'm not extremely informed on the topic but I am aware that well we're on the cusp of fusion reactors right now, we also have a breeder and recycler reactors in the fission department that no one is talking about. It might be hey stay away from this thing for so many generations and then throw it in this old reactor that is designed to react with that stage of the isotope as far as our actual long term storage in dealing with the repercussions of our early research goes. If we don't even progress to the point where what we consider unprocessable nuclear waste now goes the same way as yesteryear's radioactive carbon waste. (Seriously look this stuff up we're starting to take old waste and being able to power newer reactors with it, a lot of these newer reactors need a little bit of uranium to get the magic going but once it's going we're throwing in "waste" as the main fuel source.) What I'd want to do for a long lasting tech knowledge retaining religion/ implant into religion, is how to operate the recyclers and the safer reactors. We've got some these days that don't generate a lot of power but literally can't melt down because physics, setting up future generations being able to know how to turn those on in an emergency and how to feed the byproducts into reactors that eat it and operate them safely. That should be the priority. My hope is that we can start getting more fool safe reactors and reactor designs, to the point nuclear-electric cars, jets and planes are only a problem if someone puts a bomb/ grenade / bunch of uranium anti material rounds in their reactors. At that point in nuclear technology it would be less established religions and more just traditionally passed down knowledge on how to operate stuff, like mechanically inclined fathers will do to their kids when it comes to cars. The only difference is maintaining those nuke cars would involve singing a song about how to put on the lead armor before you open up the reactor bay.
Been lurking for a lil bit, and was wondering if you guys had any plans to touch on the Thousand Sons 👀. Either way, I have been enjoying listening to your content and congrats on the channel growth!
I really hope the opening with the toaster was filmed and Isyander had no idea it was going to be there. "I was gonna go the whole episode and not make that joke." Koda: "Shame"
Would love to see some sister lore. Especially the deeper stuff. Like, Convocation of Nephilim deep. Who was Alicia of Dominica? What led her to being brought before the Golden Throne? What could she have learned there that potentially led to the creation of the Ordo Hereticus? I’d love to see ya’ll thoughts on all that. The six major saints, their orders, all that. Most podcasts skip it.
The quote from Oppenheimer is so good, although it is actually from the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
there are actually several wars on earth that even for 40k standards took a little while. each of the punic wars of rome against carthage, the 30 years war, and to some extend the cold war. during these times, major military advances made absolute leaps and bounds, even to the very end. and all lasted way longer than the horus heresy. in the punic wars, rome discovered this whole sailing thing (pretty neat, now you can move on the water) and improved upon the carthaginian ships almost immediately to use what they already had. and they learned seafaring basically from scratch. during the 30 years war to my knowledge europeans invented the first actual rifles (instead of just carrying a literal handcannon) and made a bunch of progress in the art of organizing a big army. and during the cold war we got the bare bones of what would become the internet, space flight and nuclear power for civilian purposes. all basically from scratch and old left over WW2 things we all had lying around. but at least in the punic wars and the cold war, the actual civilian application of the inventions came after the wars had ended. which in 40k it just never seems to do.
These STC's always feel like the "Get out of Jail after being bloodied HARD" cards to me. If ever GW writes themselves into a corner where *Nothing* the imperium has could possibly save them no matter the amount of pain and suffering, they can pull out some Dark Age tech that balances the scales juuuuust enough the suffering continues on all sides.
In a bitnof interesting retconning in I think the Indomitus books there's a small aside talking about prepping Gunships for an assault they note that the oils and incense are laced with nanomachines that when applied or passed into the machines inlets repair and improve damaged and worn parts. Which leads back tonyour points on religion where they understand applying this special smoke and oil keeps the machines running
Another big reason they use Servitors instead of AI- Programming even a simple machine (not an AI, just a series of specific stimulus and response, i.e. "if heretics close = YES, gun.exe. if heretics close = NO, locomotion.exe) takes a TON of time and testing, whereas humans they take almost innately know how to walk, shoot, fight, produce things. Why waste the time making programming for machines to follow when you've already got something fully capable of it? You just need to trim off the excess code (speaking, thinking, blinking, responding to pain) to make a very efficient automaton! Also, one of my favorite theories as to why their religious rituals actually work is that it's just a needlessly complicated version of basic maintenance. I remember hearing that one of their holy texts includes the verse, "when the light turns green, press the power button." Or just stuff like the holy oils for your gun just being... well, gun oil. That holy scepter you wield in the ritual is the cleaning rod. Praise be to the Omnissiah.
The flood in WH40K is a damn nightmare. One hive city alone would be able to spawn a gravemind or worse. Plus they would be able to abuse the bureaucracy beyond any enemy they have faced. More biomass, more intelligence, if you don’t handle a flood outbreak immediately they end galaxies. The reason they are so easily dealt with in the games is partly plot armor, but also was incredibly phyrric. The original near galaxy sized infestation was starved by their food sources nervous system being wiped out, leaving them paralyzed and unable to eat. The game’s infestations were small in comparison and dealt with rather rapidly. The flood are one of the most dangerous ever in sci-fi, and quite frankly I believe they are the only faction in existence that could take on the WH40K empire and come out on top. They “need biomass, but also infest technologies, they were able to infect AI, and are faster than tyranids in spreading. While being intelligent enough to outmaneuver combat specialized AI that was able to command entire fleets of combat ships by itself, and I’d the flood couldn’t beat it, they infected and outlasted it.
The Isaac Newton quote is not standalone and has a fuller context. When Isaac penned that line he was in a scientific feud with another member of the Royal Society, Robert Hooke. Hooke was trying to leverage standing off some questionable contribution to Newton's work. With a shallow read it looks like he is acknowledging Hooke's work. However, Hooke was a very small man and had previously been publicly disparaged as "smalle of body, smaller of mind". Isaac was not being gracious and to today this skillfully worded insult is found engraved on English currency.
At 4 minutes "the Flood from Halo" I feel like the Flood just gets their spores in one Space Marine it would probably be over for the Imperium. I think if they even just got a bunch of Guardsmen it would probably be called done right there. They'd fight like hell and the Flood would probably have a bad time but I think it would win in the end. But the only true way to stop the Flood is to starve it to death. Hell it's STILL alive in Halo lore after surviving the literal collapse of the Galaxy and watching its rebirth, then getting blasted over and over and over with system sized explosions. Essentially, the Flood is just like the Tyranids in the aspect of just eat, grow, adapt, repeat.
I'm not gonna lie the imperium. Does kick the snot out of like 70% of scfi And I'm just gonna say it Star Wars I wanna say gots like one faction And it's barely even cannon That would stand a chance against the imperium. Its a very big if But if darth reven with the starforge And a bare minimum of a decade of build up. That is literally the only Star Wars faction. I think that might stand a chance. That's a nearly infinite source of capital ships, starships and droid fighters to fight on the ground. And I think him stands a genuinely good chance of winning at least until one of the chaos Gods got tired of him breaking all their toys.
When it come to war and technologies, my understanding is this: 1: the more important wining is, the creater the application of technologie is. In pre-colonasation america, there was war war/battle but they were mostly fouth for honor exlusifly. But the européen, for exemple, fouth for winning and it doesnt matter how (mostly). 2: war accelerate ANY technologie that give an advandage (when winning is the most important thing), not just anything that help you kill. WW2 saw a boost in radar and radio because communication and knowing were is your ennemi is just as important, if not more, than a better gun. War are, however, are not good always good for the discovery of something entirely new or the understanthing of the universe. They’re good for the aplication of knowledge, not so much for the discovery of new thing or the understanding of how the world work. This is not to say that the scientific working for the military wont try to understand how thing work, but that when they do it, it is in order do better untilise it. They’re will not try to understand how the sun work unless it has something to do with weapons (or anything that might help in it). They wont find out that antimatter exist unleast they accidentally make some during a test or something and if they do, they will not try to understand it unleast that knowledge is important for whatever they’re tring to do. (Also for Oppenheimer, he might not realize what he was doing MEAN. It something to know you have made a bomb with a force of x gigajoule, it something else when you see it in action. Like, he didn’t just made a big bomb, he made a bomb so powerful that it made a earthquake, a fucking sun and leave beind a kilometers talle muchroom cloud and he was at the front row when he saw it)
Star Wars vs Warhammer. Blasters cannot shot through any obstacle, metal, concrete, even mud sometimes... Lasgun, canonically punches through concrete and can severe limbs, also it's light, not plasma, so lightsabers which can deflect blasters have 0 impact on lasguns. And if lasgun can full auto, star Wars dudes fucked.
I'm not sure of how true this statement is, but last I heard nuclear tech was REALLY underdeveloped at the time of WW2. As far as Oppenheimer and his cohorts knew, the moment they set off the first test, the entire world could be consumed by nuclear fission. They knew it *probably* won't happen, hence the test happening. However it was a non zero chance. Meaning, due to the war, even if there was a possibility in their minds, the nuke had to be made. We know now it isn't possible, but the tech for studying all that as well as time to study in general was very much not around during WW2.
The burning of Alexander's Library was the worst lost of knowledge in human history. For context as to how bad it was; before it was burned, the Romans knew how to make concrete. After it was burned, the whole world lost that knowledge, and it took 700 years to relearn it and the method of how it was done wasn't discovered until June of last year... Let that sink in...
The entire Imperium united couldn't handle the Star Ship Enterprise-D alone. They don't have a single weapon that could bypass it's shields, and the Enterprise doesn't need the Warp to get around. Warhammer 40k has impressive scale and wild lore, but the power scale of it is well beneath a lot of scifi.
50:04 I think you mean the Genetors (sometimes called biologis), these guys are known to see flesh as another machine (to the point that some of their improvements are also organic, which makes them the odd ball of the Mechanicus). They are known for being the ones in charge of space marine geneseeds and are the aforementioned xenobiologists.
Along the lines of the cutting off contact etc in a modern setting. Russia tried it with Ukraine however due to protecting hardware burying lines etc and starlink among other things, communication has stayed up. Basically there are ways to prevent communication failures.
For next week I want Sisters of Battle, hands down. However, at some point I would like to see an episode/series on important planets. Not just Mars, but what is Earth/Terra like? Are there normal humans on it? Are they all bureaucrats? Is there any nature left on it or is the whole planet just one big city at this point? What about other factions, like Eldar and their Craftworlds? Are they planets or just planet sized ships? So many questions can be asked.
The way I like to think of STCs (and also explain the lack of knowledge) is that the STC is a big 3D printer, you push a button and a tank plops out the other end. The problem is, just because you can push the button doesn't mean you know how to service the tank. So the mechanicus had the Hayes manual somewhere except they don't understand WHY they have to do the certain things, so they pray, oil the thing with the sacred oil, pray some more, change the air filter, pray more.
This channel is a gem. Speaking from Russia, no vpn needed to get your vids recommended. Maybe it is because there aren’t a lot of 40k fans. I have nothing to back it up though
Good channel and content but man, no disrespect but koda really doesn't add anything to your vids except being mildly annoying and the editing really isn't good either other than that great content
I hadn't put it together before but the proposed atomic priesthood as a means to protect future humans from nuclear waste has a disturbing parallel to the admech.
Fun story about that monkey paw a friend of my mine got one as a gag. Full open hand months after he bought it he was talking about how he wished he could take off the doors to his closet and one just fell off its hinges on its own and hit him in the head as he was talking about it. Before he even started working on it. I being a lil superstitious and a shitter asked him where his monkey paw was turns out it was in the closet with one of the fingers now curled. It was an open paw when he bought it. So yeah we burned the fuck out of that and burned a shit ton of incense after that. Now we only get the occasional nightmares and sleep paralysis
I would argue that not even the flood would stand a chance and in fact are a bag choice to send at the people that have burned plants for less reasons.
I was an AdMech character in a "Rogue Trader" game. It was a blast! On the outside, he was a total heretek, but he made great strides in his travels. 1) he befrended a man of iron and got him to pimp out our ship with an errorless teleporter. 2) he found low-level AI trapped in a shoulder mounted plasma pistol and saved it from getting scrapped. His "plasma parrot" is now his trusty sidekick. He also build a war chassis (so to speak) he would slot his torso onto (leaving his augmetic legs behind) and ride into combat. Imagine a scorpion centaur with chainsword pincers and a plasma cannon (one step higher than a plasma gun) tail. He also had his torso, so he could fire a rifle he made (see #3). 3) He forged an STC fragment containing his design for a plasma rifle that fused the Imperium's power and the Tau's control over plasma. This would effectively upgrade The Guard's weapons to something stronger than the humble lasgun. He sold this fragment to a manufactorum, since he couldn't buy said manufactorum. However he does get royalties from their sale.
Dude, the machine cult is closer in structure to Christianity. They worship the Machine God, the Omnissiah, AND the Motive Force. They call it the Holy Trinity and it’s all 1 yet 3.
While that is correct multiple religions do that, also it’s unexplained whether they all mean the same thing. Usually they refer to the emperor as the omnisiah and the machine god to be something different. They even think the void dragon shard beneathe mars is the machine god which is more than lightly true. Bc the void dragon is the ctan of machines so it does make sense.
As a guy who works on planes professionally. Sometimes the Omnissiah is the only way to get those birds in the air.
Lol. I saw a pilots log about potential problems with the plane once that reminds me of this. The pilot had written in the log -
"Sounds like mice banging on engine with hammer."
The mechanics replied to the log with -
"Found and took away hammer from mice". Lol. Still makes me smile but first time I saw it I just laughed. Especially cause it was 100% legit paperwork from Delta. Lol.
I found myself asking and using concussion maintenance to a blue tooth radio and it actually got better
Lol that's comforting.

Hinduism, Buddhism is a sub branch of Hinduism...
I'm pretty sure it's misinterpreted.
The one word that is misinterpreted is the "death" part. The original meaning is "time". Time which eventually brings the end to all things no matter how hard you try.
The Hindu character in the original story was flexing his powers. That they themselves were time. Endless and all powerful.
The USA by the late 90s, could not build the Saturn V rockets any more, despite still having all the documentation and plans. Manufacturing approaches have changed so much.
not so much that, but all the little shortcuts had been lost because the guys doing the work didnt write down every single change down. but also around that time the engines, which were the hang up had a replacement that was more powerful and more efficient while weighing less.
yep there was also a skills gap as many parts where made by hand and no one has the god ter wilding skilles need anymore
That's exsacly it, noone has had to do that welding for 50 years so it'd take a decade or more to relearn how as the people left to teach you have all died or forgotten how given how long it's been
I immediately went and looked up Cawl and the Cawl inferior (which is the hilariously named totally not ai machine he gave Guilliman), and I absolutely love every part of that story. I could listen to you guys talking 40k lore forever.
Totally not AI, I mean do you not see the heads in jars. Why would you need AI when you have heads in jars
Funfact. The inferior often requests that in exchange for its help, guilliman elevates cawl to the fabricator-general (read head honcho) of Mars. And when asked cawl straight up said yea I don't want that and I never told this thing I did.

Don’t forget that Imperial Titans and Knights weren’t originally intended to be war machines. They were *terraforming* machines, used for clearing trees and mountains.
Now imagine what the combat machines looked like.
Whatever you just imagined? They were probably cooler. But humanity has complete lost that knowledge and will probably never get it back.
That’s the level of loss we’re talking about with Old Night.
Now imagine how op their airfryers must have been...
@@daltonevans3412 Trazyn has one, and he makes sure its never turned on
Particularly as they hate Abominable Intelligences...I suspect the "war" machines would make far too much use of AI for the AdMech to accept as Omnissah-sent
Makes me think of the AI controlled Titan that the grey knights found, “you make foul imitations of my form” type of shit
I think the only one who know how to build all Dark age Tech would be the God Emperor himself
Hello from Russia. I found you in RUclips shorts because I watch a lot of warhammer material. I'm gathering an army of Dark Angels for 1000 pts and slowly painting the Phobos kill team. I'm mostly familiar with Warhammer's lore, but your delivery is simply gorgeous and because of it I watched everything that is on the channel. Спасибо за контент)
I'd love to hear more about the Sisters of battle. I feel like that would help round out more fundamental knowledge about the universe.
From Russia with love , приятно осознавать , что даже находясь на Дальнем востоке , алгоритмы ютуба позволили позволили найти ваш канал , забавная штука , познакомился с вархаммером благодаря коллеге с работы по радио , который во время эфиров красил миниатюры Эльдар , местами начинает казаться , что мы ближе остальных стран к пониманию Империума
Actually as the Manhattan Project was occurring, they were simultaneously drafting ideas about energy production using nuclear means. They bombs were dropped in July and in August “The Atomic Age” was released speaking on peaceful nuclear energy. It did take about 6 years for scientists to actually harness energy from a nuclear reactor, but it was a semi concurrent thought process. 🎉 23:56
Older cherub lore has it that, given that its 40k and things are bad, the infant mortality rate is so high. Meaning that all these dead infants unknowingly committed the sin of not giving the Emperor their life, so every dead infant was made into a cherub as a form of protection of their otherwise innocent soul so that they could serve the Emperor even though they never truly lived.
Again, i'd love to see a full deep dive into the Battle of Sisters, they are my favourite faction due to how over the top they are and also fun fact I'm making my own subfaction of the Battle Sisters called The Order of the Faded Rose
Ah yes, the adeptus sororitas. Nuns with Guns!
@@w4iph yep, one of my favourite things about them is the fact that they can drop entire churches on planets and say "yep that's sanctioned now" lol and go invade
@w4iph nuns with guns is almost like a hacker with aimbot. When you got God guiding your bullets I doubt you are missing much lol
Umm do you mean Sisters of Battle
Russian here. There is no need to use VPN. This channel got recommended me through RUclips shorts. The reason why you don't see Russian audience in statistics is probably because there are no ads in Russia due to swift leaving. So yeah, we chillin here with no ads.
Just gotta say I'm so happy for you guys, the followers are exploding and you are doing great. What I love about this lore format that you guys have going is the fact that Isyander is super knowledgeable, and a great storyteller, and Koda sucks up all the little tid-bits of precious knowledge and goes wild with it. You are a great duo, the "teaching podcast"-format you've guys got going for 40K is awesome. Keep it up. :)
Necrons: this suck.
Mechanicus: *Eric Andre let me in meme"
I used to be a lil Canadian book nerd who didn't have even a passing interest in 40k. thanks to tiktok introducing me to you two, I have binged everything you two have released here and look forward to every new video :D
I love Koda's references and bad jokes, I wish I could spare some money to sub to the patreon so I could watch EVEN MORE, my thirst for lore is insatiable
Is there a way I can gift it to you?
The Flood from Halo would be a serious contender for most the most OP force. They are like an Orc/Tyranid hybrid and that is a terrifying prospect!
The scariest thing about the flood is the fact they both A) learn everything from things they infect and B) are older then the forerunners mean that at their peak they can use the "it's basically magic" tech of the precursors. 1 spore can doom a world and if the imperium dosent IMMEDIATELY exterminatus that planet the flood WILL win full stop
I would argue they are closer to a hybrid of Tyranid and Necrons, because they are intelligent, Scheming, Patient and a ever-expanding horde which will take every advantage from the things they consume and turn it to their advantage, there is even the potential at the logic plague could be used against the Necrons or even chaos Demons and that's on top of them developing their own psychic abilities
The Flood from Halo if not immediately found and annihilated without mercy can probably body every popular sci-fi universe at the same time
@@northstar6278I think the Imperium is the perfect enemy to annihilate the flood as they would destroy them with impunity and any world overrun with flood would face exterminatus. Plus, if the Master Chief can body through wave after wave of flood, imagine what an entire Astartes legion could do.
@@disturbed1734 well heres the thing if the flood have taken over a whole planet then they have already left it and are moving on to the next as they would be the fastest faction in 40k and spread but even the marines would fall and just like the tyranids they would make ways to deal with them but far far faster and worse the thing about the flood they are billions of times smarter than the tyranids could ever hope to be there is next to no setting that could even live them much less contend with them beside maybe war in heaven era warhammer but even then it would be a slog and could go either way 40k the era stands zero chance
@@disturbed1734the problem with thw flood is that they are the elder god equivalent, except also tyraninds. Teh flood got beat because chief amd arby are lucky fuckers and got in early.
The assassinorum would be the most interesting, imo. There's already a lot of info about the sororitias out there
STCs usually had an AI in them. And they didnt teach how to make things after a point, they just created things for humans as they needed them. Humanity started to slowly forget how to make its own tech even before the age of strife.
Genuinely the first time I learned that the Machine God and the Omnisiah are separate entities, fantastic content as always!
One thing it seems you missed with the adeptus mechanicus during the Horus heresy is Cawl, the tech-priest who created the primaris marine’s & his forge world original joined the side of Horus & then switched back to the side of the imperium…. He fought with chaos & the dark mechanicus for a good while 😬🤘
Sisters of Battle for the win!! Girls aren't real, but the sisters are!
The Emperor protects. You two were the reason i started 40k a couple weeks ago, and sisters was the army i started with. i must know their secrets!
Something to say, if I remember correctly, the Cawl Inferior, basically a clone of Cawl given to Guilliman, is suspected by the Fandom to be an Abominable Intelligence
It's explicitly suspected by Guilliman himself and he's told high ranking Ultramarines about it
It's not AI......it just has billions of pre recorded responses plus didn't you see the heads in jars. If it has heads in a jar then it's totally not AI ........
It would be cool if you guys did an episode where you cover a important planet in 40k. Like it's history, what life like is like there, the armies and residence that take up the planet. Like do the voting thing like you guys usually do, with 4 different planets as our choice.
Targeting a cultures information is more tragic than you'd think. It was recently discovered that ancient Rome had cranes, tech that was lost for over 1300 years til it was reinvented in the 1900s. The fall of the Mali Empire and burning of the Great Library of Timbuktu decentralized West Africa, sending the region into the Dark Ages and leading to the slave trade.
You guys are the best warhammer lore podcast out there! You deserve as many subscribers as you guys can get! Love you guys!!
The titan pilot was just one dark mechanicum with the nightlords and he used that scream to block out an entire stations comms
Personally if I've got a vote that even counts a little, I cried whisky laughing at your Orc 101 Video. The basis of they're whole power being manifestation is absolute hilarity and so so funny. I'd love a break down of they're society and so forth in depth. Much love for the content and editing boys, it's been too long since someone's produced consumable 40k Content that's informative and fun
They're society is follow the biggest guy, done.
What is "cried whiskey laughing"?
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION
Russian fan here, found you via shorts. The reason why you get little views from here could be language (English fluency is really low around here) and plenty of awesome Warhammer channels in Russian. But switching off unfavorable media sources is a real thing for anything politics-related.
been catching up to this since i just found you guys today and loving it. please just do a like 5 minute side bar for tyberos the red wake. that... thing... is a fucking legend.
Edit: He got a whole ass patreon episode. I am content.
Just a little fyi for the mechanicus game, a really important thing to do is that when you find those terminals that give you currency when you scan them you can and should also destroy them afterwards to also reduce the awakening, this will both make the current mission you're on easier and also let you do more things and pick up more power ups before having to continue the story because the global awakening reached 100. When i played i kitted out a priest with as many movement buffs as possible and gave him the skill that boosts movement when only wielding melee weapons (the arc scourge counts as melee) and his only job was to run up to a terminal, scan it, smash it and go back out. As far as gear goes you can pick and mix the clothing and weapons and stuff like that to your heart's content but i have two very big pieces of advice. First of all, try to find AoE weapons as soon as possible. They really make things easier for you since plenty of enemies like scarabs come in high quantities but aren't too big themselves, and also even a weak aoe is enough to kill a downed necron, and also most aoe weapons have a single damage value that they apply to all enemies so things like canticles and blessings will boost that attack on *all* targets, aka a blessing that will turn a 10 damage single shot attack into a 20 damage single shot attack will also turn a 3 damage aoe into a 13 damage aoe. Secondly (might be even more important), if you find a mission that gives "cognition mechadendrites" as a reward do that mission *immediately* and then equip one of those bitches on each and every single one of your soldiers *immediately*. They reeeally help with the CP economy (especially lvl 2 or lvl 3 dendrites) thus letting you pack more guns and bigger guns and use more special abilities and let you go completely nova with everyone on your team on a single turn, which often trivializes encounters.
In reference to the early mention of "Is there any verse that could beat a united, focused Imperium?" I can think of a sci-fi verse that could, and it's Destiny. Guardians utterly violate the laws of reality and physics like daily. And ALL of them can do that, casually. Like, sure, are there powerful psykers who are stronger than guardians? Yes. But uh...drop Oryx on a good day in 40k and he clears that verse in 3-5 business days.
Warframe too, to an extent. Pretty sure a Tenno is on par with a Solitaire, and the Tenno are technically more numerous than them.
Loving the 40k, guys! Just wanted to suggest a video on the Sabbat Worlds, and the Sons of Sek in particular. I can't imagine it'll see too much recommendation, but i think you two could really do it well!
I always pictured the mechanica language sounding like dial up internet.
Fun thing about cargo cult tho: from what i know, there are missions and charity organizations that send aid to this island, so from those natives point of view, it actually works. And its a fun way to look at religion: your rituals may mean nothing to the gods and the may not even exist, but if you try hard enough you can attract SOMEONE'S attention, anc they could evdn answer, but their reason would be completely different.
*Looks at chaos being summoned by well meaning individuals* checks out
Oppenheimer did not actually say "I am become death"
He, 20 years later in 1965, was asked about what he thought at the time in an interview; this is where he said he thought of that verse
In an earlier (1950's) interview, he said the quote was, If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one" (also from Bhagavad Gita)
GO Sisters!
I kinda have to make a comment on the nuclear stuff I'm not extremely informed on the topic but I am aware that well we're on the cusp of fusion reactors right now, we also have a breeder and recycler reactors in the fission department that no one is talking about. It might be hey stay away from this thing for so many generations and then throw it in this old reactor that is designed to react with that stage of the isotope as far as our actual long term storage in dealing with the repercussions of our early research goes. If we don't even progress to the point where what we consider unprocessable nuclear waste now goes the same way as yesteryear's radioactive carbon waste. (Seriously look this stuff up we're starting to take old waste and being able to power newer reactors with it, a lot of these newer reactors need a little bit of uranium to get the magic going but once it's going we're throwing in "waste" as the main fuel source.)
What I'd want to do for a long lasting tech knowledge retaining religion/ implant into religion, is how to operate the recyclers and the safer reactors. We've got some these days that don't generate a lot of power but literally can't melt down because physics, setting up future generations being able to know how to turn those on in an emergency and how to feed the byproducts into reactors that eat it and operate them safely. That should be the priority. My hope is that we can start getting more fool safe reactors and reactor designs, to the point nuclear-electric cars, jets and planes are only a problem if someone puts a bomb/ grenade / bunch of uranium anti material rounds in their reactors. At that point in nuclear technology it would be less established religions and more just traditionally passed down knowledge on how to operate stuff, like mechanically inclined fathers will do to their kids when it comes to cars. The only difference is maintaining those nuke cars would involve singing a song about how to put on the lead armor before you open up the reactor bay.
That Simpsons 'power' reference is so damn accurate for the ad mech.
Been lurking for a lil bit, and was wondering if you guys had any plans to touch on the Thousand Sons 👀. Either way, I have been enjoying listening to your content and congrats on the channel growth!
I really hope the opening with the toaster was filmed and Isyander had no idea it was going to be there.
"I was gonna go the whole episode and not make that joke."
Koda: "Shame"
Would love to see some sister lore. Especially the deeper stuff. Like, Convocation of Nephilim deep. Who was Alicia of Dominica? What led her to being brought before the Golden Throne? What could she have learned there that potentially led to the creation of the Ordo Hereticus?
I’d love to see ya’ll thoughts on all that. The six major saints, their orders, all that. Most podcasts skip it.
The quote from Oppenheimer is so good, although it is actually from the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
I kove exploring theology in scifi dune and the Hyperion cantos handle it in such a fun way
Fun fact in Brutal Kunnin a tech priest has a sawn off Las Cannon that he could conceal within his robes hidden by other augmetics
Is he just a guy in a cohort or has a name?
Love the channel, binge watched it hard lately. I'd love to here more about the assassins. Keep up the amazing videos and thank you.
there are actually several wars on earth that even for 40k standards took a little while. each of the punic wars of rome against carthage, the 30 years war, and to some extend the cold war. during these times, major military advances made absolute leaps and bounds, even to the very end. and all lasted way longer than the horus heresy.
in the punic wars, rome discovered this whole sailing thing (pretty neat, now you can move on the water) and improved upon the carthaginian ships almost immediately to use what they already had. and they learned seafaring basically from scratch.
during the 30 years war to my knowledge europeans invented the first actual rifles (instead of just carrying a literal handcannon) and made a bunch of progress in the art of organizing a big army.
and during the cold war we got the bare bones of what would become the internet, space flight and nuclear power for civilian purposes. all basically from scratch and old left over WW2 things we all had lying around.
but at least in the punic wars and the cold war, the actual civilian application of the inventions came after the wars had ended. which in 40k it just never seems to do.
These STC's always feel like the "Get out of Jail after being bloodied HARD" cards to me. If ever GW writes themselves into a corner where *Nothing* the imperium has could possibly save them no matter the amount of pain and suffering, they can pull out some Dark Age tech that balances the scales juuuuust enough the suffering continues on all sides.
Begging for an episode on the assasinorum!
That Nuclear Physics religion idea was a point of world building in Aasimov's Foundation series
In a bitnof interesting retconning in I think the Indomitus books there's a small aside talking about prepping Gunships for an assault they note that the oils and incense are laced with nanomachines that when applied or passed into the machines inlets repair and improve damaged and worn parts.
Which leads back tonyour points on religion where they understand applying this special smoke and oil keeps the machines running
Another big reason they use Servitors instead of AI-
Programming even a simple machine (not an AI, just a series of specific stimulus and response, i.e. "if heretics close = YES, gun.exe. if heretics close = NO, locomotion.exe) takes a TON of time and testing, whereas humans they take almost innately know how to walk, shoot, fight, produce things. Why waste the time making programming for machines to follow when you've already got something fully capable of it? You just need to trim off the excess code (speaking, thinking, blinking, responding to pain) to make a very efficient automaton!
Also, one of my favorite theories as to why their religious rituals actually work is that it's just a needlessly complicated version of basic maintenance. I remember hearing that one of their holy texts includes the verse, "when the light turns green, press the power button."
Or just stuff like the holy oils for your gun just being... well, gun oil. That holy scepter you wield in the ritual is the cleaning rod.
Praise be to the Omnissiah.
Day 2 of asking for assassinorum..
The flood in WH40K is a damn nightmare. One hive city alone would be able to spawn a gravemind or worse. Plus they would be able to abuse the bureaucracy beyond any enemy they have faced. More biomass, more intelligence, if you don’t handle a flood outbreak immediately they end galaxies. The reason they are so easily dealt with in the games is partly plot armor, but also was incredibly phyrric. The original near galaxy sized infestation was starved by their food sources nervous system being wiped out, leaving them paralyzed and unable to eat.
The game’s infestations were small in comparison and dealt with rather rapidly.
The flood are one of the most dangerous ever in sci-fi, and quite frankly I believe they are the only faction in existence that could take on the WH40K empire and come out on top. They “need biomass, but also infest technologies, they were able to infect AI, and are faster than tyranids in spreading. While being intelligent enough to outmaneuver combat specialized AI that was able to command entire fleets of combat ships by itself, and I’d the flood couldn’t beat it, they infected and outlasted it.
The Isaac Newton quote is not standalone and has a fuller context. When Isaac penned that line he was in a scientific feud with another member of the Royal Society, Robert Hooke. Hooke was trying to leverage standing off some questionable contribution to Newton's work. With a shallow read it looks like he is acknowledging Hooke's work. However, Hooke was a very small man and had previously been publicly disparaged as "smalle of body, smaller of mind". Isaac was not being gracious and to today this skillfully worded insult is found engraved on English currency.
At 4 minutes "the Flood from Halo" I feel like the Flood just gets their spores in one Space Marine it would probably be over for the Imperium. I think if they even just got a bunch of Guardsmen it would probably be called done right there. They'd fight like hell and the Flood would probably have a bad time but I think it would win in the end. But the only true way to stop the Flood is to starve it to death. Hell it's STILL alive in Halo lore after surviving the literal collapse of the Galaxy and watching its rebirth, then getting blasted over and over and over with system sized explosions.
Essentially, the Flood is just like the Tyranids in the aspect of just eat, grow, adapt, repeat.
I'm not gonna lie the imperium. Does kick the snot out of like 70% of scfi And I'm just gonna say it Star Wars I wanna say gots like one faction And it's barely even cannon That would stand a chance against the imperium. Its a very big if But if darth reven with the starforge And a bare minimum of a decade of build up. That is literally the only Star Wars faction. I think that might stand a chance. That's a nearly infinite source of capital ships, starships and droid fighters to fight on the ground. And I think him stands a genuinely good chance of winning at least until one of the chaos Gods got tired of him breaking all their toys.
When it come to war and technologies, my understanding is this:
1: the more important wining is, the creater the application of technologie is. In pre-colonasation america, there was war war/battle but they were mostly fouth for honor exlusifly. But the européen, for exemple, fouth for winning and it doesnt matter how (mostly).
2: war accelerate ANY technologie that give an advandage (when winning is the most important thing), not just anything that help you kill. WW2 saw a boost in radar and radio because communication and knowing were is your ennemi is just as important, if not more, than a better gun.
War are, however, are not good always good for the discovery of something entirely new or the understanthing of the universe. They’re good for the aplication of knowledge, not so much for the discovery of new thing or the understanding of how the world work.
This is not to say that the scientific working for the military wont try to understand how thing work, but that when they do it, it is in order do better untilise it.
They’re will not try to understand how the sun work unless it has something to do with weapons (or anything that might help in it).
They wont find out that antimatter exist unleast they accidentally make some during a test or something and if they do, they will not try to understand it unleast that knowledge is important for whatever they’re tring to do.
(Also for Oppenheimer, he might not realize what he was doing MEAN. It something to know you have made a bomb with a force of x gigajoule, it something else when you see it in action. Like, he didn’t just made a big bomb, he made a bomb so powerful that it made a earthquake, a fucking sun and leave beind a kilometers talle muchroom cloud and he was at the front row when he saw it)
Star Wars vs Warhammer. Blasters cannot shot through any obstacle, metal, concrete, even mud sometimes... Lasgun, canonically punches through concrete and can severe limbs, also it's light, not plasma, so lightsabers which can deflect blasters have 0 impact on lasguns. And if lasgun can full auto, star Wars dudes fucked.
I'm not sure of how true this statement is, but last I heard nuclear tech was REALLY underdeveloped at the time of WW2. As far as Oppenheimer and his cohorts knew, the moment they set off the first test, the entire world could be consumed by nuclear fission. They knew it *probably* won't happen, hence the test happening. However it was a non zero chance. Meaning, due to the war, even if there was a possibility in their minds, the nuke had to be made. We know now it isn't possible, but the tech for studying all that as well as time to study in general was very much not around during WW2.
The burning of Alexander's Library was the worst lost of knowledge in human history. For context as to how bad it was; before it was burned, the Romans knew how to make concrete. After it was burned, the whole world lost that knowledge, and it took 700 years to relearn it and the method of how it was done wasn't discovered until June of last year... Let that sink in...
The entire Imperium united couldn't handle the Star Ship Enterprise-D alone. They don't have a single weapon that could bypass it's shields, and the Enterprise doesn't need the Warp to get around. Warhammer 40k has impressive scale and wild lore, but the power scale of it is well beneath a lot of scifi.
50:04 I think you mean the Genetors (sometimes called biologis), these guys are known to see flesh as another machine (to the point that some of their improvements are also organic, which makes them the odd ball of the Mechanicus). They are known for being the ones in charge of space marine geneseeds and are the aforementioned xenobiologists.
New favorite channel 😁 Inquisition! Grey Knights!
Well... Second time requesting a koda rant. I guess I'm doing this now. BRING KODA INTO THE LIGHT.
Along the lines of the cutting off contact etc in a modern setting. Russia tried it with Ukraine however due to protecting hardware burying lines etc and starlink among other things, communication has stayed up. Basically there are ways to prevent communication failures.
Could you imagine transformers inside of warhammer forty k And how fast the tech priests would get on it
I am become death, destroyer of worlds, he was referring to God, who introduces Himself as I am as is predicted during end times.
For next week I want Sisters of Battle, hands down. However, at some point I would like to see an episode/series on important planets. Not just Mars, but what is Earth/Terra like? Are there normal humans on it? Are they all bureaucrats? Is there any nature left on it or is the whole planet just one big city at this point? What about other factions, like Eldar and their Craftworlds? Are they planets or just planet sized ships? So many questions can be asked.
Should count how many days it takes to have Henry cavil on your podcast
The way I like to think of STCs (and also explain the lack of knowledge) is that the STC is a big 3D printer, you push a button and a tank plops out the other end.
The problem is, just because you can push the button doesn't mean you know how to service the tank.
So the mechanicus had the Hayes manual somewhere except they don't understand WHY they have to do the certain things, so they pray, oil the thing with the sacred oil, pray some more, change the air filter, pray more.
AdMech and the Necrons should switch places. Something tells me they would be happy with the arrangement.
I feel like the imperium would absolutely STOMP the Flood tbh. Teeth on curb and steel toed Docs to a toddler type stomp
Ave Dominus Nox, hearing from Poland! I need the guys who's primarch has the same forst name as me.
This channel is a gem. Speaking from Russia, no vpn needed to get your vids recommended. Maybe it is because there aren’t a lot of 40k fans. I have nothing to back it up though
what re you talking about its not an opinion .. its a fact the Imperium can NOT survive without the Mechanicus ..
They are playing Warhammer Mechanicus, the soundtrack is a gift from the machine God.
"We have a tank, now lets put a demon in it"
...Sirs you had my curiosity, now uou have my attention.
If no one has played the game being shown, I'd highly recommend it, it's basically Xcom meets 40k. It's aptly named Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus
Good channel and content but man, no disrespect but koda really doesn't add anything to your vids except being mildly annoying and the editing really isn't good either other than that great content
Is there a game playing this whole game?
Ad mech in a nutshell: Yeah, we might be heretics…but we also fix your shit so what are you gonna do about it.
I hadn't put it together before but the proposed atomic priesthood as a means to protect future humans from nuclear waste has a disturbing parallel to the admech.
Finally, I had yet to see a good dive into the mechanicum
Agreed, this was a great listen
SISTERS OF BATTLE!!! THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!!! AND ONLY THE WORTHY WILL WITNESS HIS ANGELS!!! WE ARE THE ADEPTAS SORORITAS!!!!!
The one second that Koda takes to process that two guardsmen got a planet each just beacuse of a sharper kniff maker
I wanna know more about the space nuns! Come ooon! Let's drop a few cathedrals from orbit!
HELLO FROM RUSSIA и я фанат орков в 40К Уаааааааааааа, also Lamenters
its so funny hearing ppl trying to explain the diff with Mechanicum to Mechanicus
Fun story about that monkey paw a friend of my mine got one as a gag. Full open hand months after he bought it he was talking about how he wished he could take off the doors to his closet and one just fell off its hinges on its own and hit him in the head as he was talking about it. Before he even started working on it. I being a lil superstitious and a shitter asked him where his monkey paw was turns out it was in the closet with one of the fingers now curled. It was an open paw when he bought it. So yeah we burned the fuck out of that and burned a shit ton of incense after that. Now we only get the occasional nightmares and sleep paralysis
I already had my babies (the tau), so i would like to see the assasinorum.
I would argue that not even the flood would stand a chance and in fact are a bag choice to send at the people that have burned plants for less reasons.
You guys rock! did you eveer do reactions of the Astartes FanFilm?
I was an AdMech character in a "Rogue Trader" game. It was a blast!
On the outside, he was a total heretek, but he made great strides in his travels.
1) he befrended a man of iron and got him to pimp out our ship with an errorless teleporter.
2) he found low-level AI trapped in a shoulder mounted plasma pistol and saved it from getting scrapped. His "plasma parrot" is now his trusty sidekick.
He also build a war chassis (so to speak) he would slot his torso onto (leaving his augmetic legs behind) and ride into combat. Imagine a scorpion centaur with chainsword pincers and a plasma cannon (one step higher than a plasma gun) tail. He also had his torso, so he could fire a rifle he made (see #3).
3) He forged an STC fragment containing his design for a plasma rifle that fused the Imperium's power and the Tau's control over plasma. This would effectively upgrade The Guard's weapons to something stronger than the humble lasgun. He sold this fragment to a manufactorum, since he couldn't buy said manufactorum. However he does get royalties from their sale.

Dude, the machine cult is closer in structure to Christianity.
They worship the Machine God, the Omnissiah, AND the Motive Force.
They call it the Holy Trinity and it’s all 1 yet 3.
While that is correct multiple religions do that, also it’s unexplained whether they all mean the same thing. Usually they refer to the emperor as the omnisiah and the machine god to be something different. They even think the void dragon shard beneathe mars is the machine god which is more than lightly true. Bc the void dragon is the ctan of machines so it does make sense.
