IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU HAVE PROBABLY WATCHED ALL 5 PARTS! Thank you so much! I can't believe the wholesomeness and good vibes that the Warhammer 40K community has given me. Next, we will react to the Space Marines Legions and Timeline videos by Bricky! A bunch of cinematic reactions too. Thank you once again, I'm enjoying learning SO much. Consider also checking out my Twitch channel, where I mainly play games! twitch.tv/ti8ick
I love these W40k reactions so much. Great work!
thank you : )
dont forget you NEED to find a vbvideo on the last race "the leagues of Votann" its the one playbale race not covered by bricky in this video The votann are space dwarfs) the newest latest faction
Subbed👍
Looking forward to those!
Every Single Warhammer Space Marine Legion in a Nutshell by Bricky next. I still want MOAR
Always moar 😂
Or Bricky's "Warhammer 40k Timeline" video. Also pretty good.
Iirc she said in stream that she is gonna watch that.@@RC__1207
@@RC__1207 We usually recommend that after the _"initiate"_ has watched the Legions video. Also I love how bricky's videos has just become an initiation lol
Reaction coming soon!
The easiest way to describe Harlequins is this:
"Imagine if the performers of Cirque Du Soleil were method actors who REALLY liked the Art of War"
"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." - Mark Twain
Orks are pretty much if that quote was an entire race, they basically make the galaxy more stupid by their mere existence and I love them for it.
Trazyn is great. When all Necrons and the galaxy are at war, Trazyn is like "War? What war? I'm building a museum here!" And like - stuff he has in his museum is just bonkers - like the whole Tyranids hive fleet, whole scenes from history closed in a time loop, and even a perfect, uncorrupted, clone of Primarch Fulgrim. And much much more.
What a nerd, love it! ❤
Trazyn that is 😂
Don't forget he has a krork lol
@@cryptonyzer8699 I was about to mention that!
@@ti8ick they you definitely should react to the best lore video from Trazyn the Infinite point of view: TIMELINE of the 40K UNIVERSE by Trazyn the Infinite by Warrior Tier ruclips.net/video/uxRY25TV_Po/видео.html
It's production value and lore information is almost unmatched, after you've seen the funny part by Bricky. It's a pity that ALMOST nobody in 40k fandom react to this masterpiece.
One of my favourite things about 40K is how welcoming the community is. Like, they don't gatekeep at all. All you have to do is show the slightest interest and they will share literal tomes worth of knowledge and lore. 10/10 fandom
I’m so grateful to the people I met on this 40k journey for being so welcoming and encouraging me to learn more about it ❤
We gatekeep, but just to keep out tourists that want to change things to suit them. Newcomers willing to learn are absolutely welcome.
@@cpob2013this
Except for poeple who like the Tau?
lmao the "gatekeeping" comes from how freaking dense the lore and the hobby can be!
At first look I thought the Harlequins were the joke of the whole galaxy, but after learning about their lore they're easily one of the most interesting factions
If you REALLY want to feel afraid of the giant bugs, there's an excerpt about an inquisitor who has spent multiple centuries studying the Tyranids. In his notes, he theorizes that the current swarms invading the galaxy may possibly be just the forward scouts/vanguard of an even larger invasion force, and that "There may, in fact, be more hive fleets than there are worlds."
This is right before he looks over at his personal laspistol, which promises him an easy escape from this horrifying situation.
💀
Then there's the theory they're not really invading, but that they might be running from something...
Orks are the only race that enjoy living in the 40k universe
Harlequins in addition to guarding the black library also travel between all eldar civilizations and perform plays to remind the eldar of the fall of their civilization. They reenact the tale of the birth of Slaanesh to constantly remind their people of what happened so that it won't happen again. Members of a Troupe play the part of different roles within the story. As well they are the only group of eldar that aren't consumed by Slaanesh as their laughing god protects them from Slaanesh.
one of my favourite bits of random Ork lore is that they believe in Santa... so by the power of imagination... Santa actualy exists in the 40k universe xD
I think this is the most important piece of Ork lore that should be always mentioned first! xD then the rest will just make SO much sense
What? Never heard of that. What?
@cegesh1459 100% real... there are even Chrismas themed ork figures for the table top game 😂
I tell everyone who is new to the lore, I’ve been a Warhammer player for years and I still find bits of lore I missed.
It’s an exciting thought, knowing that there’s a whole universe to learn about and explore. So I’m going to be taking my sweet time with it ❤
There is one new playable faction that came out since Bricky made this video. The League of Votann. They are a ofshoot of humanity from back during the golden age of technology. They are in the center of the galaxy and nowadays look like dwarfs. They are not in alliance with the imperium and are governed by artificial intelligence. They are also clones produced by these ai to fit whatever need they have. Over thousands of years most of these ai have become a bit crazy though.
Then there is also a new playable subfaction for the eldar called the ynnari. They are a group that tries to revive their god of death who they hope is able to kill Slaanesh. Every eldar can join them no matter their previous faction(there are other factions that Bricky didn't mentions as they aren't playable on tabletop, for example the Exodites who are basically hippies that live on jungle worlds and ride dinosaur like creature) and they also played a key part in the revival of the primarch Robute Guilleman.
You could have just said SPACE DWARFS.
@@heisnotlongbutthin yeah, but wanted to give a lil more info than that.
There is another new faction... World Eaters. 😉
@@HeartlessNinny1 ah are they playable now too? Well at least Bricky mentioned them wheras the ynnari and the votann are new new. Not just new in tabletop but in lore aswell.
I find it odd that GW still hasnt made emperors children. Personally I would find them way more interesting than world eaters. Give us super fucked up hellraiser models.
SPACE DWARFS MENTIONED!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 ROCK AND STONES BROTHER 💪💪💪💪👍👐💯🔥🔥
Gotta say Bricky is right about Warhammer having a little bit of everything, there are action adventure, crime thrillers, spy and espionage, and war novels being published, the fandom of the lore is almost as big as the fandom of the actual table top if not bigger.
40K could also definitely pull of a romance novel if they were looking to broaden their horizons, I mean shit I'd read a book about a Guardsman falling in love with a sister of battle as they are relentlessly assaulted by some cosmic horror.
Also Ephrael Stern and Kyganil are a great example of human/eldar cooperation
And recently GW has been pushing the lore into a more "unified" thing, the Eldar and Humanity are starting to get along with each other more, and are fighting less, even some of the Drukhari are beginning to seek redemption for their depravity and even the necrons decided to help out humanity with Trazyn trying to prevent the fall of Cadia.
Ork manifestation is both a benefit and a detriment
One time a group of Orks were being chased by an Imperium Knight Mech
Because the mech was red, the Orks collectively assumed it would go fast
To the surprise of the pilots of the mech, it went WAY faster than it's supposed to, and they caught up and slaughtered the Orks
😂😂😂
If you're interested in getting into the tabletop, I recommend his video, "what's the best warhammer 40k army to start with." It's a redo of this one, but focusing more on the hobby and gaming side: who is the cheapest, easiest to build/paint, playstyles, etc.
The Poorhammer podcast is also a very good source for that kind of stuff, but might be less of audience for reactions to their videos. If you're serious about wanting to start an army, I especially recommend "what kind of player are you?"
I started with orks, because I am SUPER-Timmy: I don't care as much about the deep strategy side of things; I just want to show off my models, see the other person's awesome models, charge them at each other, and see who survives. And I really like the color green and the junkyard aesthetic.
Hahah I love your approach to the tabletop! And thank you for the video recommendations, I’ll definitely check them out!
What Bricky said about how Ork mechanics work in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game is mostly true. In my own experience, I have found Orks to be powerful, with competitive options in most editions of the tabletop game- especially in 9th and 10th edition. You can play whacky and care-free with an Ork army as the leg doppelganger discusses in his lore video, but you can also make the game's RNG your b*tch by throwing so many dice that entropy becomes your real weapon.
People who main Orks must be really brave lol
But it does seem like a really fun game style
My favorite part of the orks is not an Ork, but a human: Sebastian Yarrick. He is a commisar of the Imperium that dedicated his whole life to fighting Orks, even facing the Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, arguably one of the biggest and strongest Ork in the galaxy. Orks love Yarrick because he "fights like an Ork". He's so good at killing Orks that the Orks started spreading rumors that "whoever faces him in battle dies" and, due to the Ork's imagination power to alter reality, that became real (this doesn't apply to Ghaz, the only ork that survived fighting him). After the fight with Ghaz, he got one of his eyes replaced with an artificial one, and the Ork started spreading a rumor that his artificial eye can shoot laser from it, and it actually started happening due to their imagination. Unluckily, Yarrick was killed by Angron, the Primarch of the World Eater, off screen, but i really liked that Ghaz turned his WHAAAA around to go the Eye of Terror to kill Angron because "he killed a humie that i liked"
Looool
Thank you for this piece of lore I absolutely love it! Imagine how badass you gotta be to earn Orks respect 😮 and the laser part 😂😂😂😂😂
Yarricks augmenting eye contains a miniaturised las weapon, he did that on purpose to play into the orkish superstition that he could kill orks with his gaze. If there's anyone that knows the Ork psyche, its Yarrick
@@ti8ickghaz considered yarrik his best friend
Harlequins are more than just clowns. They are storytellers. They are keepers of history. Their main play is about the fall of the Eldar race. It shows why things are as they are. Also, they are followers of the philosophy that "all is the art and the world is the scene". It's visible in the way they fight - every attack, punch, or shot is made to be packed with extra meanings and theatrics. Kill can be a counterpoint to words of the poem recited by Harlequin, the massacred battlefield be a scene and background for a dance, and sounds of battle can be actually used by them as pieces of music. And then is Solitaire - the story of fall needs one actor to play She-Who-Thirst, Slaanesh. And this is work for Solitaire. That means they need to be in constant danger of summoning actual Slaaneshi daemons. They need their mind to be so trained and attuned they start to repeal warp, not dissimilar to human Blanks. That means they are feared by other Eldars and often on the outskirts of their society. But also their skills are much higher than any other Harlequin - sometimes compared to the level of humanity's Primarchs.
Enjoyed reading your comment about Harlequins, thank you so much for it ❤
The Tyranids and Genestealers are probably the best example, why Exterminatus would be necessary.
Second best is Chaos
Welcome to the 40k universe, you now understand much, but do not worry, there is still MUCH more cool stuff to learn about.
That's half the fun. 🙂
Thank you! It's not difficult to get into it if you genuinely enjoy it
Hey.. new to your channel, I noticed you because of your reactions to Brickys 40k videos and as a 40k enthusiast for nearly 30yrs it's awesome to see the younger generation enjoying what I have for so many years. Even if you dont get fully immersed into the hobby, it still puts a smile on my face to see it still has the same appeal after all these years.
Awesome videos 👍
Happy you're enjoying the videos! And thank you for the compliment calling me younger generation haha ❤
The details and connetions she can make from other games and movies is just proving how dedicated she is to all of this. For example make the connection between sheogoragh and cegoroch is just amazing work right here.
New to your channel, and love your Warhammer content. Please do more.
Thank you so much, will do! ❤
Orcs “manifest”! 🤣🤣🤣
This is as classic as Nurgle being “cozy”😂😂
You nailed it. They do manifest, 😅 but they typically need large groups to make it work. And they have absolutely no awareness of it.
Orcs are so unique in W40k who would've thought 😂
@@ti8ick I love them❤️ As a nature-lover I have to.
They are not just a “race” but more like the “self-defense thorns” of an entire ecosystem. It’s an ecosystem that that is collapsible down to a single spore. This spore contains multiple templates, diversifying and complexifying itself onto various “base” physical forms as it grows and integrates into the environment. Industrial pollution is one of the ork fungus’ favorite foods at a cellular level. Breaking down complex chemical pollutants and bringing dead worlds to life is an ork specialty. The ork fungus integrates its own pre-planned food web into and alongside whatever ecosystem it finds itself in, down to a cellular level. Most often allowing a far greater abundance and variety of flora and fauna wherever it takes hold.
Plus; they are the main reason the Necrons fled to their tomb worlds 60 million years ago. Because the Krork were so horrifyingly powerful that Necrons didn’t want ANY of that smoke.
leutin09 has an awesome video on ork lore@@ti8ick
the funny part is that if they were aware of it, it'd probably stop working because once they'd be aware they'd believe less in it. The fact they don't know about it but genuinely believe something to work means it works. Once they know the trick it stops working, its like placebo.
@@netneo4038 I dunno bro…. They might just be more in tune with the Warhammer universe than any other race…. Think about it bro, all the fastest units in-universe, ARE red…. The White Scars? Red stripes. Fastest Tau mechs? Red. Fastest titanicus advance EVER, happened at the Betrayal of Calth by a RED titan legion.
Bro, HOW else do the Ultramarines get away with the plot-armor bullshit they get away with, if blue ISN’T the luckiest color?
C’mon Oomie! Fhink! 👉😣👈
It’s cahz Orks is da bestest!
Actually more intelligent Orks can be bad for their health. As an example, once there was a bunch of orks that needed to be outside their starship, so they went outside without space suits. Their ignorance of needing space suits stopped them from dying... but then they ran into some orks outside the ship too but these orks were inside space suits. The ones inside the suits asked the orks not having them how they were still alive and not killed by the vacuum of space. The orks without suits suddenly realized they should be dead... so all the Orks without suits instantly died.
There's also an Ork warboss who when trying to join a Waaarghh! Got on his ship to go to that planet, but instead ended up above the same planet he just left... and in the past. So he went back down to the planet and killed his past self so he could get two copies of his favorite gun. Because he doesn't understand that killing your past self kills your present self, he's still alive but if he ever figures it out... well, he'll literally just fall over dead.
Oh, and then there's the biggest ork in the galaxy. He actually had his head cut off and pur on top of a Robot body which made him even bigger... does his robot body have life support for his head... probably not.
Orks just defy logic
loooool makes total sense now! If they make things come to life by just blindly believing in it, then overthinking/being more intelligent would be their doom
Actually no. Mote intelligent are really good for their health. See war of the beast and Krorks.
@@cegesh1459 The Krorks are extinct now though, kinda proving the point... and records on "the Beast" aren't very clear. But he's dead too. Couldn't unimagine that reactor core he landed in.
Tau player for over 15 years here, I initially picked them because they were the total opposite of what my brother was playing: he played Black Templars (aka choppy humans) so I wanted shooty aliens. The fact they used battlesuits is just what pushed me over the edge towards choosing them over Eldar. As for lore what I like about them is how naive and hopeful they are that the various factions in 40k would ever give peace a chance. There's plenty of stories that follow a theme of 'Tau try to foster diplomatic relations with a race and it completely bites them in the ass' like the time they sent a couple dozen diplomats on an exchange with the Drukhari, only to discover their entire delegation had been tortured and turned into monstrous abominations by the Drukhari. On top of that they are also one of the smallest factions of 40k to the point where if the imperium had a mind to, they could probably wipe out all Tau in short order. That the Tau are this feeble candlelight of optimism in such a setting as warhammer 40k is what adds to the grimdark nature of the setting imo.
tl;dr I like big bots and I cannot lie.
Orks project a latent psychic field that gets stronger the more of them gather at one place. And it's this psychic field that makes them manifest their imagination that their contraptions work, that da red ones go fasta, that things painted blue are more lucky, and so on.
And about the mushroom thing: Orks are constantly shedding spores wherever they go. Those spores grow in shady spots into mini orks and grots which then keep growing and banding together. That's also the reason why orks are so hard to get rid of, because their spores are basically everwhere.
And they're fighting each other because they just like foight'n more than anything else; so, if there's no-one else to fight, they just fight amongst themselves.
I’m loving Ork lore so far, need to watch/listen more of it 😂
@@ti8ickthat latent psychic power is what causes whaaaaghs aswell, basically when enough Orks gather this energy starts building till it sends the Orks into a frenzy, the mek boys will start building ships and the hoard will set off to find a planet to invade, the whaaaagh energy will also attract other Orks on nearby planets to join. Most wars with Orks are small scale and more of an annoyance to the imperium but when a whaaaagh happens it usually results in the loss of multiple worlds/systems and the only really effective way of stopping it is to kill the warboss leading the whaaaagh which will result in the energy dissipating and the hoard will start squabbling and fighting amongst themselves
Tau are actually really popular on tabletop, they are I believe the 6th most played faction currently. Their visual style is really sleek and they stand out as a faction that isn't as stupid in how they operate compared to the more obvious satires. They are one of the few factions to actually use camo, and they use lots of drones to minimise casualties, so they feel very modern.
Their relative xenophilia, clean look, upbeat attitude, and their thematic role as the dynamic rising star of the galaxy makes them more obvious good guys in the setting, so GW has been trying to make them evil to bring them in line with other factions. However I think they work best being forward thinking, not trapped in stagnation, and not outright genocidal. It provides a nice contrast that highlights how bad the rest of the setting is.
People hate them usually because tau mostly only care about shooting, which limits how much of the game they take part in, and which doesn't feel as fun to play against. However it's nowhere near as bad as people say and at the moment they're pretty balanced
there are no 'good guys' in 40k
@@BoredMarcus all factions are evil, but some are more evil than others
Tau are commies. End of story
someone explained the orks like this: "combine mad max fury road with british football hooligans then youre in the right ballpark. ...but also in space."
I love the T'au. They are a great foil to the whole grimdark setting, and it is also kind of tragic to have this naive, optimistic species gradually realise how absolutely shit everything is.
Hey, thank you for sharing in this, enjoying it and adding so much to the community already! :) Again, I got into this through the two rules/lore/wargear books from the 2nd edition of 40k, arounnnd '97 or so. These were a great start point, so the lore was perhaps easier to get a basic grasp of... once you had those. Beyond that, each army book or codex would flesh out lore, and the hobby magazine White Dwarf would add a bit of everything. Now the lore's grown so much along with the online presence, but it's good to see things click with videos like this. :)
When I was new to 40k, the lore was kind of intentionally vague, which was played up as a theme. Don't know how to pronounce a name? So what? There's probably a bunch of planets whose people say it like you thought, haha. The setting has an ancient past with partly forgotten things, with propaganda, and all sorts of unreliable narrators, so even if this is an outdated view, you can both delve into the lore and not worry much, and it's a good spirit! :D
I saw a meme of one 40k fan asking if something is canon, the other doesn't even know, and they both laugh, haha. I love that it may still be true, but with things like the Index Astartes articles, and maybe the Horus Heresy novels most of all, people could buy and know answers to the ancient background mysteries, which can place way more emphasis on canon. I like to delve into it but stay chilled out, despite my rambling haha.
Looking forward to more, and best wishes!
P.S. I could say loads on Necrons - and the poor Tau haha - but suffice to say they were both races added later in establishing things, late 90s, early 2000s. The Necrons started with the basic warriors, the lord with his big hat, and some scarabs lol. They were hinted at as ancient, but all that War in Heaven lore came later. Still, they never miss a chance to connect different races, as you see :)
I can highly recommend "Warhammer 40k Timeline in 20 mins" by Arbitor Ian, and his "Every Warhammer 40k Faction in 20 mins" as well. They'll probably fill in some gaps from Bricky's videos.
I also want to say it's been fun watching you take your first steps into the 41st millenium and am looking forward to more!
Arbitor Ian is fantastic! I second this notion. He also does a lot of Horus Heresy era content, so if you're interested in that, you'd be hard pressed to find better stuff.
Thank you! I get Arbitor Ian recommended a lot, added those videos to my watch list and will check out more vids on his channel
Yep the arbitor is great :)
The harlequins are fairly easy to understand their every action is a performance dancing on the edge of madness and doom to taunt slanesh. They exist like their god just beyond her reach taunting her. They exist on a razor's edge where a single misstep would see them fall to slanesh so their performance must be flawless guided by the laughing god.
I don't play tabletop, but I like Tau, specifically because they help me with the suspension of disbelief. W40k has a lot of not very futuristic designs, from fighting with swords and axes, to WW1 style tanks, to WW2 style battle tactics, and so on. Having Tau as this genuinely futuristic that somehow is true to how a spacefaring civilization would look and fight, and then having them completely wreck anyone who uses obsolete technology by choice, makes the universe seem more real and logical to me, and makes it easier to accept the other less logical stuff.
As someone who has been a part of the Warhammer community for over three years now, I can say that the community will welcome you no matter what faction you like the most or decide to collect. The lore is so vast that it may take a while to decide on one. For me I knew I liked Space Marines and Melee combat so I decided to go with the Space wolves and I don't regret it. In three years I went for enjoying the lore and wanting to learn the tabletop to becoming a commission painter and it's always a fun time seeing new people get into the universe in some way. Pick a faction YOU love for whatever reason, you may get some detractors but no one will bash on you for picking a certain faction (though Tau will have people looking at you with the side eye 🤣) whatever faction you end up liking you'll have support from the community and most likely really cool models to chose from. Can't wait to see you delve into the lore. 🤘🐺
Looool that Tau comment. In my case, to be able to relate more to a faction and feel more immersed I need it to have some girlies in it hahah So I guess it's the Sisters for me or maybe Drukhari
@@ti8ick Sisters were one of my armies before the World Eaters got their own range of models, they are definitely rich in lore and character when it come to models. Definitely check out some of their lore when you get a chance. The Drukari have a unique playstyle and some interesting lore but a lot of their models arent being sold by Games Workshop right now due to them being older resin models but they also have some unique lore surrounding them as well when it comes to being antagonists in the setting. Either way, you're in for a treat.
Except T'au.
(Jk, the fish weebs can come too)
@ti8ick Excellent choices. If you're picking between them, Sisters is a lot more beginner friendly (though don't let that scare you off if you dig Drukhari, I went Imperial Guard even though it's a ton of initial work because I was in the Army and love the "modern day military meets scifi" look). Drukhari is pretty old in their range last I heard, and in the last round of tournaments, they were tied with my second army (Custodes) for dead last in win rate. None of that is to say they aren't a great faction, and they're apparently a ton of fun if you like that fast glass canon playstyle and very kitbashable, it's just an uphill battle if you're new.
0:33 Bricky peeking out from behind you lol 😂
He's peeking and watching over us all
Needs more Leagues of Votann
The video was made before they were released.
@@PariahRonin That in no way changes the fact it needs more Leagues Of Votann lmao
Subbed straight away Bricky editing is hilarious and your reactions are so good. I used to collect Space Wolves and Eldar, there is so much lore in 40k
You are by FAR the most intelligent reactor I've ever seen regarding Warhammer. And no, I'm not simping. I'm an old man and ain't got time for that.
I love my Tau army, there one of the best in shooting and range, not melee even an guard can kick my ass in melee. But shooting, hard hitters you don't really need to move all that much. I love them .
Back in 2012 I toyed with the idea of getting tau, but chose dark eldar instead. I haven't played in 10 years, I am somewhat familiar with the new rules. Can you still use commander farsight to make a meele based tau army or does that not work anymore?
@@hermaeusmora424 haven't played since 5th edit but if I play I play 5th.
@@hermaeusmora424 Farsight still exists, but I don't think melee T'au are a thing. However, GW have announced a release of a whole new range of Kroot for the T'au and they might add some proper melee to the army. No idea if it will be good though.
@@hermaeusmora424 people typically bring farsight for melee, but aside from him there's very little to work with. The new kroot should fix that somewhat however
Tau are cool and I like them. I like they have a lot of different species in their empire, they develop new tech and they aren't insane.
The original Necron lore (which I actually prefer) was that the Necrons were still s laves to the C'Tan (albeit some of the higher-up Necrons still retained some level of individual identity and independent thought), and the C'Tan were kind of like the material, realspace equivalent to or antithesis of the Chaos Gods, who are purely Warp-based psychic entitities, and their goal was to exterminate all life in the galaxy in a great Red Harvest (sort of like mechanical counterparts to the purely biological Tyrranids) and also cut the Materium (aka realspace) off from the Immaterium (aka Warp) finally snd permanently by constructing pylons (this was what allowed Cadia to survive so long even though it was right near the mouth of the Eye of Terror). This was when Necrons were still a newly-introduced faction in 40k, like the Tau.
I preferred the old lore too, also the Eldar laughing god is definitely the deceiver and I don't care what any Eldar player trying to claim otherwise says
I feel T'au didn't quite get the overview they deserve here - they are grim and have always been that way. They practice eugenics on a societal level and the caste you're born into determines your entire life. If you're Fire Caste you're trained to be a soldier from birth and can only 'retire' by surviving long enough to become a Commander. The Ethereal Caste may or may not use pheromones/mind control to keep their place as dictators, and while they actively want other species to join them they don't take no for an answer. Take the Vespids for example: they were a species of wasp aliens who had a hive mind. The T'au completely enslaved the species by hijacking their hive structure to place themselves at the top. Vespids are now used for dangerous mining and as disposable skirmishers. Their other main member species, the Kroot, eat dead enemies.
The Harlequins were some of the only xenos back in the day that could come and go on Terra as they pleased, because they basically served as messengers to the Emperor of Mankind on behalf of the Aeldari prior to the Horus Heresy.
When I first was introduced to the setting in 2004, Tau became my main faction. In terms of accuracy, your basic Fire Warrior is on par with a basic Space Marine, but has god-awful melee ability. Back then, the only other alien races under the Tau you could field were Kroot (which had better melee ability but were inferior in other aspects) and Vespids (which were basically glass skirmishers). You could field the Ethereals, but opponents tend to gun for them first to apply the "Price of Failure" debuff to all Tau (to my recollection, it _forced_ all Tau to take a Leadership roll to avoid retreating _every_ turn), so almost no Tau player would ever put an Ethereal on the field. In the current Edition, Ethereals are a bit more practical, but still outshone by other units.
The Tau Empire, in real life, were added to the setting circa 2000 in an effort to add some light to the depressing grimdark setting of 40k. Old school fans did not take kindly to this, so numerous spinoff titles and side material have added things to make Tau considerably more gray in morality. This includes certain suggestions that they rely on hypnosis to ensure loyalty or the suggestion that they sterilize the population of the worlds they annex. By and large, the fluff paints the average citizen of the Tau Empire legitimately buying into the concept of the Greater Good - in a less grimdark setting, they might already have an empire spanning the entire galaxy, ruled in a fair and meritocratic manner. In this setting, given their relative naivete, the Tau are doomed to be the butt of a thousand jokes.
So, anyone that's not Chaos or the Drukhari is some shade of gray on the moral spectrum.
The Craftworld Eldar are manipulative by necessity to keep their species alive and basically see humans as far below them as humans see your average rat. The Imperium is darker on the shade of gray because of the lack of diplomacy except for extremely unusual scenarios. The Tyranids and Orks don't even exist on the scale because they are biologically hardwired with an entirely unconventional moral code (Tyranids eat, and Orks fight because that's literally what they were made to do). Really, Tau, Craftworld Eldar, and the Imperium are only "good" by virtue of everything else trying to kill them all.
The best thing about Orks is that they are not evil, just love a good fight. They are more a force of nature. Plus all Orks are highly psychic, which is why their things work through belief. Red vehicles go faster coz 1 painted red win a race qnd now other orks believe that too.
My favourite piece of 40k lore is when a imperial guardsman lost his gun, picked up a ork gun and it did nothing as it had no ammo. Then a ork came along, killed him, took the gun and it fired for him as if it did have ammo.
Want to mention that Tau started to get some grim tones here and there as well. They even have prerequisites for they own Horus Heresy
Eldar names and language tends to use ancient Celtic, or are at least inspired by the Celtic language, "Drukhari" for instance translates to "dark ones" for obvious reasons
If you want to know how OP, Necrons are. Necrons sold their souls to the devil the C'Tans, the proceeded to kill said devils and made them into Pokémon. That they get to use now and gain against anyone who really annoys them. They are also the only race to have a technological solution to kill chaos.
And could virtually defeat the tyranids
Oh please, Luetin09's Ork Lore next!
Others have mentioned the Every Space Marine Legion in a Nutshell but I don't know if anyone has mentioned the overall lore and timeline video Bricky did. IT's just as entertaining and informative as these have been!
Once you break the surface of the Tau. Yer, they are Not the good guys 🤣
yeah anyone who thinks the tau dont have a grimdark side, dont know anything about the tau
Their naivete is incredibly hilarious thoigh 😂😂
Like the time a race was not very okay to join and misteriously they all become steril and died and the tau took their planet yeah xD it's a sneaky grimdark
Will get there eventually haha
@@ti8ick as an example: the quote Bricky gave for the necrons is from a game where you can play the tau (and a few other factions aswell) and when you win with the tau they take in all humans that surrender but castrate/sterilize them and put them in camps. Also the factions that join their alliance aren't treated as real allies, more like tools afaik.
She is one of us now. Welcome.
Thank you!
Necrons were introduced in the early 2000s. There backstory underwent a major rewrite soon after. A C'tan shard is basically a Necron battery. When they need more power, the C'tan is used. For that +10,000% boost.
I recently got into 40k (a year ago) after scoffing at it for the longest time before giving it a chance. Love seeing people go down the same road I did. Cheers
Orks manifest their own destiny
Out of every faction in 40k, the nids and Orkz are the least evil. The space bugs just wanna consume the galaxy, and the overgrown fungi wanna fight
If you would like to learn more about the warp, the 1997 movie "Event Horizon" is the best one. If you have not watched, you got to.
It's like an introduction to W40K and one of the factions! Not gonna say which one.
I mean no that movie doesn't at all work the way the warp does in 40k. Like there's huge differences fundamentally not just oh it doesn't match up perfectly.
Its really great for a 40kesque grimdark fun time but its really not something you should use as a Warp teaching tool lol
baldermort guide to warhammer is good for story lore, like fall of cadia amongst other things, luetin09 also good for faction lores and more detailed parts as well
So many warhammer fans are pumped on these videos and the journey. An ultra gorgeous funny lady learning about the dopest shit ever made. I’m here for it ❤
The original necron lore was pretty different to the current lore, originally the necrons never rebelled against the c'tan, what happened is one of the c'tan known as the deceiver convinced the other ctans to start feasting on each other so they all started infighting till there was only 4 left, at that point a tear from the warp happened and these creatures called the enslavers came out and started eating what little sentient life was left in the galaxy, the remaining ctan decided that because the galaxy was basically lifeless it was best to go into a long slumber and wait for the galaxy to repopulate at which point they would awaken again and start feasting on a now repopulated galaxy. You could also use 2 of them as models in the game, the deceiver and the nightbringer and they were massively overpowered in the game, in the current game you can use c'tan shards which aren't as strong but still pretty strong. Also are you the uwu girl that was going viral a couple months ago?
I know you have some reactions planned already, but Bricky also has a video where he talks about how every faction plays on the tabletop and how they are to collect and paint, so given what you said at the end you may want to watch this too :)
Thank you! Not necessarily as a reaction video, but I could just watch it on my own time and maybe it will get my hyped to buy some minis!
@@ti8ick The video is called "What Warhammer 40K Army is the best to start with". I'm interested to see if you can decide on a faction to try and which it would be, it took me a while to be sure. But take your time and dont start too big.
7:05
They're not hairy, they've got some bits that are smooth skin and other parts have armor plates like a crab or beetle.
ti8ick: Art the Clown is an harlequin eldar
Me: You had my curiosity, now you’ve got my attention
I'm going to disagree with Bricky here. I find that having a young, energetic race that's relatively weak numerically serve as a foil to the bloated, slow moving Imperium makes it even more grimdark. They're what the Imperium could have been, come too late to do what the Imperium did and conquer the stars.
Fun Fact, Ork's devolved. They have their predecessor, KORK.
They're deadlier, smarter, bigger yet faster. Imagine imperial baneblade with motorbike agility.
I don't why but I like tyranids so much that now they seem cute as hell 💀 terrifying but cute
i quite reccomend Peons collected cinematic version of the game Final liberations cutscenes. bad 90s animation and live actors with costumes is fun.
5:41 look at her face. omg that reaction face is priceless.
tyranids are like the scouting party that happened to land on the planet Tyran.
some say tyranids actual army is stronger than the scouts we have been fighting.
imagine what their version of space marine or custodes are like if the hive tyrant is like your average guardsman of tyranid scouting party.
Orks are so much fun, definitely among the happiest in the Warhammer universe 😂
I don't know much about them yet but they also seem less evil than pretty much everyone else. They're just doing their thing
The 'nids saw Starship Trooper's and said "Nope. We are not having that!"
I love the Tau empire when I was ilttle, well I also think it's mainly because I played fire warrior,
my first warhammer 40k game ever!😅
At least some of the old ones survived, because they kick started fantasy, which was the game that started it all. So yeah
and now up to Brickys next video "Every WH40k Space Marine Legion explained" It's also really funny.
Ahhhh, my bug bois. The recent editions have given my bois a lot of love.
Like, apparently the Tyranids have Brethren Moons now. Guess we found out what birthed the Hiveships.😂
As someone who has been into 40k for 20 years, let me just speak for myself. The community is welcoming because there is nothing I love more than wowing newbs with my "slick 40k knowledge" It is a cult...we are Alpharius :P
This is comment for the algorytm. + keep the good work on the road to forbidden 40k knowledge young one. You are so entertaining.
The channel Templin Institute has some good quality videos about warhammer with great visual and stunning voice acting. Could be a great reaction. :D
Tyranids are super popular with women players on the tabletop
If you whant to check out one of the books of Warhammer 40K, try "The Infinite and the Divine": in there you'll find out how much Trazyn can be smug, petty and overall one of the best character among the Necrons.
One of the best characters in the setting period in my opinion.
TYRANIDS! My best bois ^_^ . Imagine how these things looked to an 8 year old kid? I was hooked from the start.
Fun fact, alot of their creepier side is heavily inspired by 'Alien' and 'Aliens', so check those movies out if you haven't yet. They rock :) (i think you might have hinted already that you have.)
Oh! And yeah you're right about them lacking much individuality. Through most of my young teen years, my tyranids were the big bad that my friends with their armies of actual named heroes and such had to try and defeat. It was fun being the unfathomable alien threat :P, someone has to be i guess! haha.
Maybe I visually like Tyranids so much because I absolutely love Alien franchise ❤
@@ti8ick Fuckin' A! 😎🤟
12:31 Yes! The mos' Kunning race! Waaaaaagh! Umm, love for the Green tide 🙂
"They need a big wise leader, or something."
Well! Let me tell you about Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.
How can you be afraid of fuzzy moths? They're so adorable! Spiders I will agree with though.
If an Ork is prevented from fighting, such as being a prisoner. They will eventually die. Fighting is bred into them at a genetic level. As an Ork fights and rises in the Ork ranks, they do become more intelligent. Think of it as they gained a level in an RPG. More genetic traits are unlocked.
You don't necessarily need to choose based on the lore. You could just have a look at the ranges and see which models you like the look of, I chose my first army because I liked the cover of their codex (army rule book), Eldar 3rd edition.
The tyranids are the Legends of this Universe, nothing has stopped them yet. Or if they were stopped it was a small fleet and the defenders were completely decimated
You should watch Bricky video of warhammer 40k timeline for more context.
One thing to note is that a new faction has been released since Bricky made these videos. Leagues of Votann. Grim Dark space dwarves.
4:05 Bricky before his morning coffee 😂
Unfortunately there is still one faction missing because it was "re"-released after Bricky's video, the "leagues of votann"
Someone probably already corrected this, but the xenos arent chaos aligned. In fact, pratically all xeno races are against chaos in some way.
Eldar, Orks and Necrons are more or less imune to chaos corruption (or at least WAY more resistent to It then humans). Tau pratically ignore the existence of chaos.
17:00
If the *Orkz* were smarter, their power of “imagination” would not work. It works because they believe for reals that it works.
Note on the Tau: GW doesn't seem to be sure what to do with them, their lore is a hot mess right now. FTL travel? Reconned. Having a more naive-positive species in a universe that is fucked? That's what they were. Until GW (probably to carve in to a *certain* group tried to make them evil. They failed to make it good though)
What I like is the Idea of Prosperity and Positivity in the Universe that's filled to the brim with hate, treachery and war. They were unique in their nativity. And then, stuff like Phil Kelly's Farsight books happened.
We don't talk about those.
For the Emperor! you should watch Helsreach aswell, animated fan movie from the books its brilliant.
''Bugs are more afraid of you than you are afraid of them!''
*inhales*
*looks on a Boeing-sized Tyrannid rushing towards the defence positions*
I... think I would disagree with you on that one...
in Fire Warrior 40K you play Tau soldier name kais and he goes around single handedly kill a greater demon and whole bunch of space marines and chaos marines😁
If the orks were smarter, their power of imagination would be less powerful because they would know how things work
Petition to rename 'Cegorach' to 'Sheogorath' so I can actually remember their bloody name
You should react to Ogryn Story by Warrior Tier next. You'll love it.
