4:57 Think about it like this. The mechanicus have a bit of a Holy Trinity thing going on. Machine God (All powerful God of technology): The father The Ommnisiah/The Emperor (The "prophet" of the Machine God, who lead humanity across the stars): The son The ever present motive force (The energy of creation, that which energizes both life, as well as all machinery): The holy spirit
Leagues of Votann are the space dwarves and they are VERY new, as in they came out in 2022. they have very little lore as of now, but they are really quite cool from what we know. and one of the very cool things about them is that some of them are literaly clones made from templates stored in their A.I vaults. and they liberally use A.I and treat them as comrades as opposed to higher or lower beings (apart from their ancestral machines which are treated with high respect)
25:16 In short, the humans who have been incorporated into the Tau empire have created a lesser warp deity from their collective belief in The Greater Good. It has actively intervened on behalf of the Tau Empire several times, and the Tau species themselves are generally very concerned about it.
So The Greater Good isn't just a concept or an ideal, because of the collective belief they have. That does make sense considering how things function in 40k. I still need to learn more about the Xenos side of things for sure.
@@TheLegitWeebs That's the interesting part. It was just a concept until the Tau started adding humans to the empire. Tau souls are unusually small, and have a very weak impact on the warp. Human souls have a much stronger impact on the warp, which appears to have been enough to juice up what was a warp deity waiting to be born.
I feel like Mechanicus, like all Imperium subfactions, would become far FAR more interesting if they were their own actual factions in lore. Warhammer Fantasy has many different human factions that both like and don't like each other, and it makes the world far more interesting than 40k in my opinion. Mechanicus is the closest we get to that in 40k.
You lose 2/3 times. But the fun tho. Admech is okej. Not super poverfull but if you think Smart and have some fast unit with strong fire pover you CAN win
@TheLegitWeebs In my experience, most of the units admech have access to just don't do enough for what they cost so you are forced to pick from their few good options (Ironstriders, Dragoons, vanguard and Breachers). In 10th edition, GW decided that Admech are guardsmen now but cost more and have less guns. Everything that, isn't a character, hits on 4s, which makes their ranged damage output really inconsistent. If it wasn't for the Kataphron Breachers (the only unit that can consistently do damage) you wouldn't be taking out much of your opponents forces. To play Admech in 10th competitively, you really need to be wary of where you positioned your units. Especially for the Breachers who have an inbuilt reroll 1s to hit, which becomes a reroll any hit roll when they are within 6" of your skitarii rangers or vanguard. You really have to pay attention to how you play them otherwise your army won't be performing well.
as someone who owns a mechanicus army I must say, they break so damn easily, I mean physically break, if you grab and ork model it'll be fine, grab a tyranid model and it'll stab you back, but pick up a mechanicus model and it'll snap into pieces, you gotta be so careful when handling them
I remember you mentioning not knowing much about Halo, and that makes me think Pancreas's human/covenant war, fall of reach, and HaloHammer videos could be good watches.
Hating Bretonnia seems to be a pretty popular thing in the Warhammer community. Not without some reason though, they are quite a bit one-note. Practically just your standard medieval army without any interesting twists.
By the way, fun fact: no one considers the Cult Mechanicus to be heretics. After all, the Emperor himself granted them territorial, legal and religious independence. Moreover, the Mechanicus believe in the Emperor, not in the manner of Imperial dogma or Astartes, who consider him a God of Himself or the greatest of men respectively, but as the living embodiment of the Machine God. So it is not much different from other movements of the imperial faith. By the way, yes: the inhabitants of the Imperium believe in the Emperor in different ways, because there are many planets, each with its own mentality and values, and faith in the Emperor must be the connecting link, so the God Emperor must correspond. Martial worlds consider the God Emperor the god of war, Agri-Worlds consider the Emperor the god of productivity and so on. This is why the Imperium is so sick of genestealer cults. It is almost impossible to identify them with a quick loyalty check: Is he a mutant? Well, it's bad, but in any non-paradise world there are mutants. Does he believe in the Emperor? Definitely. Is he working for the good of the Imperium? It seems. Is he shaking in religious ecstasy? More active than some. What does his Emperor look like? Four-armed, purple-skinned. Looks like nothing unusual h... Wait a second... By the time the clumsy bureaucracy of the Imperium finishes “Wait a second” and takes action, the world with the unusual cult will no longer be in contact.
When they say blacksmithing with the Salamanders, they mean forging stuff like power weapons. So pretty much every marine knows how to make disruption fields and chain sword motors. Also a lot of 40k stuff has lore with no difinitive answer. So like that creating machines might lead to a daemon tricking you into making a daemon engine or something. yeah that could happen but really there are other considerations that are more prevalent. Like the politics and religion are more up front in the thought process on why they don't invent stuff. Plus you have plenty of examples where someone made something and it went fine. Like Ordinatus for example.
The fact that there's a lot of lore with no definitive answer is something I'm slowly discovering about 40k. In hindsight, I'm not surprised that with a setting this massive, sometimes things just happen and get retconned later on because the writers need this other thing to happen. At least there is established lore that is quite interesting.
Vulkan taught his Salamanders self-reliance and his knack for blacksmithing that he learned from his foster father, so they would technically be fine if they lost Mechanicus support. Vulkan tinkered with the "standard" equipment given to the Salamanders until it met his standards of approval (i.e. it functioned WAY better).
As a man with metal shoulders and a metal hip that wants to replace their aching flesh with cold, sure steel? I love the Mechanicus. My girlfriend also loves the Mechanicus. I found a woman that deals with my inane Warhammer talks and respects me for being a grown male that obsesses over a fake universe. If there's hope for a crippled manchild, there's hope for you.
I would personally hold off on Dune for a bit. As great and deep the setting is, it's a massive rabbit hole with probably even more conflicting lore than 40k. So many different writers and theories and the list just goes on, which can make it a very daunting fandom to get into. If you choose to delve into it, I'd stick to the original source material only, the rest gets too convoluted.
The reasons Pancreas doesn't like Bretonia are two-fold. Firstly, unlike the Empire which has actually changed and developed technologically and socially over the centuries, Bretonia didn't. There is almost no difference between the Bretonia of the End Times and the Bretonia that was ruled over by their first king, Gilles Le Breton, hundreds of years prior. Secondly, Warhammer is infamous in general for "borrowing" all of its ideas from other sources, but Bretonia arguably takes it further than any other faction. Bretonia puts very little "spin" on the concepts it borrows, it is just very straightforwardly Arthurian legend ported into the Warhammer world without really altering or expanding on that idea.

Dune is THE space opera sci-fi series. If you read even the first book you will find that everyone references and "takes inspiration" from it.
If I'm going to be delving into Sci-Fi, I definitely need to peep Dune
the salamanders are fantastic blacksmiths and forgers so they would very likely be able to forge their own weaponry if the mechanicus stops making it
Ah, I should have pieced that together. They are good with fire after all.
It because easier to remember when you learn one of the leader positions is called forgefather

Tau leadership initially tried to destroy the warp deity until they realized it was creating miraculous events on their behalf.
Even as a Tau, Elf, and general Xenos lover Mechanicus is one of my favorite human factions.

"I think they hit on 3s or 2s" this line hurt me as an Admech player.
xD I don't know anything about the tabletop for the most part. How has your experience been playing the tech boys?

slightly drops Skitarii on the table: Breaks
Throws Maleceptor at wall: "I didn't hear no Bell !!!"

If you want to know more about the "Greater Good Spirit" look of the latest video by Imperial Iterator. It's not their best, but it gets the job done.

Pancreas did Iron Hands dirty. They could survive no worse than the Salamanders.
he did do them dirty the iron hand is a mechanicus astartes
not all herateks are chaos, some of them are xenaraite sects that want to use both xeno tech and imperium tech combind. And that's its tech herasy.
Vulkan taught his Salamanders self-reliance and his knack for blacksmithing that he learned from his foster father, so they would technically be fine if they lost Mechanicus support.

My beloved
Reasons for disliking Bretonnia are as follows: French
If you want to watch more warhammer 40k videos i would recommend “more lore" channel he has great videos
I think it's DOOM and not DUNE
There would be no 40K without Dune. Half of all space fantasy rips off Dune.
