Welcome back and Happy New 2024 to everyone! I have been thinking about doing a more rambling speculative video for a while, this seemed the perfect one to start the year with. Its a little different, please let me know if you enjoy. THANKS - if you enjoy help me to appease Lord ALGO - drop a LIKE 👍
Happy New Year, You could talk about life of humans on space stations or spaceforts like Galatan, and ships like Macragges Honour, etc. You could also talk about how this can vary per first founding chapter, type of rogue trader, military vessel or civilian vessel etc
The first thing you'd encounter upon time traveling to w40k would be someone desperately trying to time travel back the way you came. That person would probably be your own future self.
I was thinking in the line that if Trayzyn ever gets a word that a human from M2 suddenly appeared. He would proably spare no expense in adding them to his collection.
@maltheri9833 M3, this is the third millenia (1000 year period) we are in since we are keeping time in a universal way. So 2024 is the 3th millenia ( lasts from 2000-2999) The earliest civilizations developed between 4000 and 3000 B.C.E., when the rise of agriculture and trade allowed people to have surplus food and economic stability. Homo sapiens, the first modern humans, evolved from their early hominid predecessors between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. They developed a capacity for language about 50,000 years ago.
@@darkbozo11 We have absolutely no idea when modern humans developed the capacity for language. I rather suspect hat capacity has been around for a LOT longer than a mere 50,000 years. Relatively complex social groups such as human hunter gatherer groups require a LOT more in the way of communication than animals. especially as the young were taught some fairly complex skills, such as flint knapping..... You do NOT teach such skills without a pretty damned advanced form of communication, aka, language, of some sort.... While SOME people think Language is relatively recent, so in your 50,000 year scale, most are not so arrogant, or in my opinion stupid t take that claim at face value, as its probably bullshit.... Because here is a fun little fact, the vocal chords which give us the capacity of language evolved a LOT longer than 50,000 years ago..... And Hominids were cooperating in social groups far more complex than any animal a LONG time before modern humans evolved.... The history of language is certainly a LOT older than you try to claim. Now if you argued that those early languages were simple in comparison to modern languages, I would have to agree, but this 'we started talking 50,000 years ago' is utter crap.....
I think the scary thing is that there are a lot of people who would actually like to live in this world, like Medieval RPers, because they never seem to stop and think what daily life would actually entail if you didn't win 'the lottery' of what role you had... sometimes not even then.
I don't think I would want to live in Star Trek either. Imagine getting vented into space because you're septuagenarian captain tried to talk to the obviously hostile aliens.
A Star Trek fan says, "I want to be a starship captain!" A Star Wars fan says, "I want to be a Jedi!" A Harry Potter fan says, "I want to be a wizard!" A 40k fan says, ".... Nah, I'm cool."
This is where to take your videos dude, this is something that other creators can't really replicate because it relies on your skills as a storyteller AND the ability to realistically immerse yourself in a world. Very cool.
Great comment. I don't find it ethical to promote any other channels by name on someone else's video, especially when it's similar subject matter. As such, I won't name anyone but you're correct on the importance of storytelling ability. There are maybe three other channels I would actually listen to a long lore video from them. The others are good, don't get me wrong but they are more about presenting the info, while Luetin makes it great entertainment. This feels almost like an audiobook or a guided tour rather than just someone reading the lexicanum article
This is such a fun idea to consider, particularly in how similar travelling into the far future starts to become to travelling into the past. travel to 1200 AD, flash a local peasant your smart phone, and the inquisition will burn you as a sorcerer travel to 41m, flash a local peasant your smart phone, and the inquisition will burn you as a sorcerer
Medieval people wouldn't be that disgusted by a phone. It would definitely confuse people, but unfamiliar technology that you can't wrap your head around has been introduced to people for pretty much all of history. People back then weren't stupid nor anywhere near as zealous(for the most part) as people in 40k. Similar to how germ theory wouldn't have you burned either. They'd just raise a brow and nod their head and say something along the lines of "Yeah? Uh-huh, okay, whatever, dude." Though a 40K inquisitor would probably be that way. At least if you gave them the impression that there was any AI being used in it... might want to stay light on apps.
Speculation Video idea: The Emperor awakens and declares you the Lord of the Imperium and to do everything you say, no matter what. Could you save humanity? How would you stop the crumbling and inevitable destruction of the Imperium? What would you do?
Speculation idea spinoff: You are frozen in a cryocapsule, like Fry from Futurama. During the Golden age of technology your capsule is ordered off-world to a reawakening facility; however, your ship is lost in transit. Speculation: what is your fate depending on which faction/age finds your ship and your cryocapsule?
come on you have like a 0.00000000003% chance of ending up on a pleasure world! surely that's worth the risk ending up on a death world or a irradiated factory complex?
One option for the arms trader gig would be night vision goggles. For whatever reason, they are VERY rare in the imperium, but commonplace and comparatively affordable today.
SMH, think for a second. Do you think their night vision goggles would be the same as the ones we have? They have tech from the golden age of humanity.... you cant even think through simple things and yet you see yourself as a relatively intelligent person.
yeah I should have actually done a quick search on that one while recording, and afterwards found there are a couple of references. But it makes sense there would be, I think the point is though, they are not commonly used, probably just Inquisitors Deathwatch etc.
To be fair. They are rare and valuable piece of equipment. If you carry it around you'll catch attention from people who will want to know were did you get it or want to take it from you.
@@Luetin09 I think with passing knowledge of Swedish/Norwegian, Finnish and Latin you could actually communicate on Fenris. If you live long enough to communicate.
@@joonaslaitinen9520except that those languages only appear similar in the writing for our comprehension, it’s not like high gothic looks like Latin in their universe, that’s just for us readers.
@@the_algo_rhythm are you in a system with another planet threatened by tyranids? are there sudden increases in military presence? if yes - leave yesterday
When you mentioned that you might even be able to see Astartes in a parade upon a shrineworld, i immediately thought of this moment in the game "Spacemarine" where a (most likely) mortally wounded guardsman cheers for being granted to see a real Spacemarine once in his life, as you walk by...
@@theotv5522 aslong you play the astra militarum and have enough comissars you should be fine i guess playing space marines will be problematic having a xenos army is certainly a death sentence having a grey knight army is a cruel fate for you and all they know about it a custodes army? damn the poor souls of the planets you walked on... knowing just hier existence is already your death, having a whole miniture army of them with all abilitys and weapons...? mechanicus could be chill in the other hand, they like knowledge everything for the instance your on a imperial world
The first thing you should ask yourself when traveling to the 40k universe is “Why? Why would I want to subject myself to horrors beyond comprehension?”
@@Joshisproblyhighuntil genestealers take over, or you get bio bomb'd after a chaos cult starts gaining traction, or you get eaten by Tyranids, or invaded by orks or etc..
Disagree. Best scenario (moderate risk): you immediately meet a Custodian. They’re the most likely to know an archaic language, and if you claim the Emperor pulled you from his past to help in some manner only he knows you’d at least pique their curiosity, especially if you can recite details from the Great Crusade, talk about the Cybernetic Revolt, and similar. Same logic: Molech, in front of the Gate. High risk, potentially extremely high reward. Riskier but available most places: demand to see an Inquisitor and try the same thing, but your odds of being tortured go way up.
Just imagine traveling into the far distant future, taking a look around, and realising, "holly shit, Games Workshop totally called it, those guy were spot on!"
Step 1: Acquire the formula for Red Bull. Step 2: Time travel to M41 Mars. Step 3: Offer up the formula for an energy potion that increases productivity in Imperial laborers to the forge world in exchange for joining the Cult Mechanicum as a techpriest acolyte. Step 4: Become a nearly immortal biomechanical monstrosity.
better plan:travel to the Dark age of technology, download as many STC's as possible,travel to M41,then trade the STC archive "you found around somewhere" to the Mechanicus and become the ruler of your own Star system or get a warrant of trade in exchange. There's only one downturn:you could getting killed or servitorized by a selfish and greedy techpriest who wants to keep this stuff to himself,if you talk to the wrong one.
Step 5: Remember that they do all their surgery without anesthetics since they're just cutting away human flesh. Step 6: You try to actually fix the electric motor by cutting the faulty cable and soldering it to it's connection point, without using the proper rituals, ointments and prayers, get branded a heretic and turned into a servitor for hurting the machine spirit.
@@johnlucas2838 That's so dumb to think about. 😒🙄 the Techpriests seeing the STC's as a holy relic from the dark age of technology,find one stc itself that is replicateble is impossible in M41 because theyre either destroyed or corrupted beyond repair by fcking chaos,getting the blueprint data of these things is what i mean, and not the hard tech already created by the constructor.
Oh Hell no. I'd never make it. I'm a biopolar schizophrenic with autoimmune arthritis. Becoming a cultist of either Nurgle or Tzeench would literally be my only shot at survival.
I absolutely love the 40k setting. It's sheer scale, the diversity of characters and factions, the interpersonal interactions between nearly immortal beings, the complexity of hive cities are all great and ponderous aspects of a fictional setting. That being said, I hope to God that I never find myself there.
I like the idea, if it's at all possible, of asking for sanctuary in the Black Library. Just throw yourself on the mercy of the Harlequins and let them know you're just looking for a safe space to live out the rest of your life. Seems like a nice place for us nerds if they allow it.
@@logansmall5148Scans and noninvasive investigations? Sure. Outright vivisection? Probably not. You'd be a one-of-a-kind human from the halcyon epoch of the Age of Terra. Killing you immediately would probably be considered very wasteful.
@@logansmall5148 Not really much different to what'd happen to you overall really speaking... like yeah you'd have to be SUPER lucky to not end up being killed painfully pretty much on the spot in a first encounter with the Imperium - if you travel to a world controlled by it.
Just swing by the Dark Age of Technology en route and pick up an STC - then set myself up as a new lord of a nice sector out the way of the Nids. And Orks. And Drukari. And Chaos. Hmmm maybe I'll just stay in the Dark Age of Tech about 1000 years before the men of iron go skynet.
Just be sure to slap whoever decided to cancel the men of iron anti-virus/ethics program. No Men of Iron have disobeyed orders for over 500 years! Virus? Those things haven't been relevant for millennia!
You might want to mention the tiny little detail that the more you know about the true nature of Chaos, the more suseptible you are to its corruption. Considering we know the true name of all 4 gods and many of their greatest daemons... Even without being psykers, that has got to be one hell of a beacon for those entities.
Maybe this is just me, but as a outside visiter to the 40k galaxy I kinda wanna see if I could infliltrate a Chaos cult. Now that sounds insaine until you really think about it, Chaos cults are generally very hidden from the authorities of the Imperium and some even have access to the upper noble levels within hive cities. So if you were to join their ranks maybe as a weapons trader you might be able to access typically blocked off areas of planets. The issue would be is which god the cult worships, Khorn and Nurgle cults are out of the question as they would likely kill you randomly through implulsive violance or deadly disese. Slaneesh cults could be possible to infliltrate depending on how many drugs you're willing to take, but Tzeench cults are likely you're best bet as most of you reading this have a decent amount of knowlege about the 40k universe and the cult might be very interested to learn you're precious knowlege. Also if you guys are thinking that this idea applies to Gensteeler Cults as well then your wrong, as most members of a Gensteeler cult have a synapse link with their fellow members so they will know instantly that you're not one of them. Am I Insaine what do you guys think?
As much as it would completely suck... honestly, joining a Nurgle cult might be one of the only ways you'd have any prayer of surviving any of the future pathogens.
The thing is... the ppl that interact with chaos and dont get corrupted are the guys THAT DONT SEE THEn HAS GODS. See Bile and renow psykers etc. We who know how they operate would not be corrupted. Now nurgle plagues are a problem.
Exactly. In the 41st Millennium, humanity is not a discrete collection of individuals, but a relentless symphony, surging forth with an indomitable rhythm across the ink-black canvas of space. To exist in the Imperium is to be a single note in this celestial crescendo, a solitary heartbeat within the gainful pulse of the omniscient God-Emperor. Each life is not a frail and isolated flicker in an encroaching oblivion, but a radiant ember contributing to a resplendent inferno. Every soldier, every worker, every martyr; their pains and sufferings, their agonising final stands and quiet, unheralded ends are kindling for this blaze that illuminates the devouring darkness of the cosmos. Yes, your death may seem to be an inconsequential vanishing, a soft sigh swallowed up in the roaring orchestra of war that spans light-years. Your blood might sink into the thirsty dust of alien soil, forgotten by time. However, understand this truth: In the ceaseless crucible of battle against the alien horror, the heretic, your soul flares bright, searing a precious testament upon the universe’s endless night. The God-Emperor sees, and cherishes. Beneath his eternal gaze, the golden sentinel of humanity, you are not merely blood and bone, but a torchbearer. An irreplaceable thread in the imperishable tapestry of humanity woven across the eons, where no thread is unimportant, no colour insignificant. Your sacrifice is an affirmation, a silent vow uttered to the void that we stand here, hardened by spirit and often, martyrdom but unfailing in your tireless resonance. Dreams of peace may seem unreachable when you march through the meat grinder that endless conflict has reduced existence to. Yet your arduous steps beat the rhythm of a sacrifice song that resonates in the aether. A glorious requiem that soars amidst celestial bodies, its sublime etheric chords strummed by the heroic, the noble, the forgotten. The kaleidoscope of existence comes with suffering, but it too brings unity. For through the storm of war, be it under viridian skies of distant utopias or beneath copper canopies of alien fortresses, the heart of the Imperium thrums steadfast. Within its rhythm echoes a reminder that your life, your death, your joy, your pain - they are the sinews and tendons bridging the flesh and steel bones of the Imperium. In the vaults of the cosmos, beneath the cosmic echoes and amongst the radiant chaos, you are more than an individual facing inexorable oblivion; you are a vital, breathing element of an eternal symphony. One that drowns out the cacophonous machinery of war and stands resolute against the perennial abyss. Thus, in the golden gaze of the God-Emperor, your sacrifice illuminates a trail into the future - a future where the collective might of humanity, steeled by your sacrifice, stands victorious.
On the matter of translation mcguffins: one instance a „Lingua Servitor“ was mentioned was in „Courage and Honour“ by Graham McNeill. It was used by the Ultramarines to interrogate a T‘au prisoner and it was implied they had more than one language translator.
I mean this with every fiber of my being, I sincerely love the speculative Leutin videos. Especially, when you talk about time travel, space, physics, theory, etc. I know it’s not everyone’s cup, but I’m here for it! Thank you Leutin!
I may be crazy, but that's my top 3 : - Going to Baal Secundus right before Sanguinius' pod would land. I wouldn't try to change anything to the story, I would just try to survive long enough to see the Angel's doings with my own eyes, and eventually, if I haven't been irradied to death yet, enroll into the Blood Angel legion. - Get a drink with Ciaphas Cain. - Try to become an Inquisitor in M41.
You wouldn’t try to prevent the traitorous arcs of some of the primarchs or prevent certain events from happening? It could be easy to do for some of them. You could make sure Kor Phaeron & Erebus “disappear” so they never get the chance to dig their claws into Lorgar. Or you could tell Magnus it would be better to physically teleport to the front door of the Imperial Palace personally rather than trying to manifest directly into the Emperor’s laboratories, thus saving the Webway project and preventing a warp portal permanently opening on Terra itself. Etc.
@@CousinJesse1 Well, if I had to change something, it would definitely be stopping Magnus in one way or another to fck up the web way. But even then, it would mean that Horus already became a traitor and everything else from that point would change. Not sure if it would be for the best. I wouldn't try to prevent horus from falling into chaos though. People often consider Erebus as the catalyst for the entire heresy, but I believe that even without him and his sorcery the chaos god would have still found a way to corrupt Lorgar, Horus, and any other primarch they had their eyes set on.
@@EliteCustodes lorgar mightve still fallen without erebus and kor phaeron, but the big thing about erebus is he instituted the warrior lodges that turned the normal astartes traitor. Sure, the primarch would bring some, but so many astartes already being turned through the lodges helped massively. Without that lodge in each legion/chapter/company/ship/expedition fleet, it would not have been such a large schism. especially among legions like the white scars and dark angels.
I think Noble might actually be easier than falling in with the rabble. Mostly because with no augmentations Nobles are the ones most likely to be able to say that they're "Clean", and speaking of clean they are also most likely to be the ones that keep their hygiene up like we do. Also, noble families are also large enough that not everybody knows everybody, so if you can confidently lie about who you're daddy/mommy is I think you can make it pretty easily or at least have an easier start than anywhere else. Especially as a Lowly noble. Also, knowing Latin apparently helps. Just some food for thought.
Yeah, in my experience it's usually easier to blag that you're high status than low. Even if you're successful as passing as low status it could still mean you get treated teriibly, at least you get treated well if you get away with being a noble! You just need to have that indefinable confidence that schools like Eton charge the gdp of a small country to instill! The other option might be the high vis jacket plus walkie talkie cosplay, just talk into your radio and walk confidently and you can usually get where you need to go, maybe add a couple of lanyards and wristbands for extra legitimacy :)
The term "Emperor's CHILDREN" becomes far more disturbing in that context. I'm sure there's an Inquisitor Hansen that specializes in hunting down that particular brand of heresy.
I just want to know, if i could at all possibly convince Trayzn to let me explore part of Solemnce if I swore I would never, ever, attempt to interfere or mishandle his work. I just want to admire his collection in its current form.
@@thisistherevolt only if it's backwards travel as well, necron lifespans and such are already as such that traveling 10k years is pretty much just having a couple of weeks holiday
The first thing I'm doing BEFORE traveling is giving myself the powers of either cosmic armor superman or Dr. Manhattan, so that if I were to be challenged by any opponents, be they chaos or dark elder or beyond, I would be able to overcome it several times over. Next I would learn Latin for any niche situations. Next, after aiming for the 41st millennium, I would try to land in the bowels of some hive city on an aggriworld and immediately look for work. In a place like this it would be easy to assume an identity because the imperium's bureaucracy is too clogged to notice the difference. From that point on it's all about learning to aquiesse and assimilate both socially and culturally which would probably take anywhere from 5 months to a year. After that, it's basically a playground. Maybe you get bored so you try to get hired by a rogue trader. Maybe you just fly off into space every now and again. The sky is basically the limit for whatever amount of time you are there because of the preparation taken before arrival. Bit of a long reply but yeah, if I have the technology to travel there through time, I'm not leaving until I give myself a buff first lol.
I don't presently see why they wouldn't given one would be travelling from their universe to the 40k universe. Even if we count the 40k universe as existing within our own, I'm sure the DAOT would have had something on par with the acquisition of those sorts of powers.@@alwynwatson6119
Well, yeah. It's just like Kairos getting chucked into the Well of Eternity. The time travel mechanics would almost certainly be tied to the warp. Even if the Imperium wouldn't detect you, there's Chaos demons and oracles and everything. They'd love to get their hands on a chronological oddity... if Trazyn doesn't get you first.
@@Spartan135 I mean, Trazyn wouldn't be the worst to get caught by. You'd probably just be frozen in time. At least he wouldn't torture you, unless you're considered expendable, and a temporal anomaly certainly isn't.
If you're interested in the Pilgrimage to Terra, Oculus Imperia has a video on the trip and it's fantastic! He deserves more credit than he gets! Love the Video!!!
Hmm, at first, i was like, "Hmmm, i guess this might be interesting..." and 15 min in, and i'm absolutely invested! Great idea for a video, I already know im gonna listen to this one multiple times. I'd love to see a series continuing this idea! Thanks Luetin as always, you're the best!
For the throwing out names and being confident part, I feel like I'd accidentally say some chaos related name and get shot by the Inquisition. Random citizen: "So, where are you from?" "Well, I was from... Near Ultramar, I also kinda just hung around the Sol system for a while too. Used to live near the Eye of Terror, but it expanded, and a warp storm destroyed my home..." Random citizen: "Oh! Ultramar! I used to hang around those parts! Did ya meet my buddy, down at the Aqua dispensery?" "Uhhh, yeah, I think so! What was his name? ...Alpharius, right? ...whoops..." *stomp stomp stomp* undercover inquisitor walks over *BLAM* Also, "if you happen to see a Sororitas, avert your eyes." Wouldn't it be more convincing if you, as a religious pilgrim who had never left your hive city or feudal world, were completely enamored by the superhuman warrior that's in front of you?
@logansmall5148 Or worse, long and painful. I wouldn't want to be a servitor. Of course you could get lucky, find one that's susceptible to Slanessh, and hey, maybe she finds the lowly citizens cute or something. Anything is possible in 40K.
Sisters of Battle do not take Vows of Celibacy, you'll probably be fine unless youre really disrespectful or trying to interrupt them when they have shit to do.
If you as Star Wars fans if they'd like to b transported to the Star Wars universe: "Heck yeah!" If you ask Star Trek fans if they'd like to be transported to the Star Trek universe: "Heck Yeah!" If you as a 40k fan if they'd like to be transported to the 40k universe: "NO!!!" *Runs away in terror.*
I’ve been thinking on this concept a lot when I got into the lore especially recently and I also agree that Feudal worlds are probably the best places as it’s less dangerous than other places. I also got a true feel of the how totalitarian the imperium is and it was a very scary. Amazing video loved every second of it, love all of your work! Keep it up!
Always good to see a new LT upload. I'd love you to cover teleportation in 40k as it's such a huge technology which would really break a lot of fictional verses, but even though it's mentioned from time to time I've never seen its 40k version's limits, applications and main users explained.
“Omg no, no anywhere but here. Have you heard of the Rawlsian veil of ignorance? I would choke myself with that veil before I decided to travel there.”
Could just say the inquisitorial crest got shattered in some fight Just need something that looks close to it and bunch of wires, no one knows technology anyway, not even Mars Then you just need some confidence, but you also gotta do some inquisitor work to not become too suspoicious, or at least seem like you're doing something It would definitely be quite fun haha
I have kicked this idea around before in my head, Astrates drop pods are hitting military bases worldwide while Guard Regiments are taking cities. Meanwhile I'm carrying around the inquisitor rosette replica I keep in my workshop and trying to get them to stop. " Stop in the name of the inquisition! My master has set up this low tech world in an effort to replicate the development of the STC's! And we are getting close, they have started developing something called CHATGPT, which could be the precursor to full STC's!"
@@Ikxi Fake inquisitors pretending to do Inquisitor work, and accidentally stumbling across a real Chaos cult, eventually thwarting it. Kind of like an inquisitorial version of Ciaphas Cain.
Here's how I would do it: Step 1) Reconsider Step 2) Try to hang with the Tau, I guess? Also, it's worth noting that not only would you be vulnerable to pathogens present in the far future, the pathogens you bring with you might have been long extinct in the far future and carry just as much a threat to everyone around you. You might accidentally be a herald of Nurgle.
If you could send a message to the Emperor of M30 (let's say, during the Great Crusade and before any of the Primarchs have fallen to Chaos), what do you warn him about? Which dominoes can you stop from falling, and which will fall regardless of what you do? What do you think the downstream effects of your warning would be?
"Hey Jimmy Space! What's going on man, yeah you probably recognize my particular set of slang. Yeah I'm a time traveler, yeah I've only got 2 warnings for you. You need to kill 2 dudes named Erebus and Luther that are buddies with a couple of your sons. Yeah Lion and Lorgar. Bald dudes bad, yeah you got it. Alrighty man, have a good one."
Speciation idea: What if the emperor wasn't mortally wounded at the battle of terra and entombed on the golden throne what would the galaxy look like? How would he have dealt with the various popular xenos races?
Suggestion to future ideas for the series , how would you survive in Nastramo , or the planets the primarchs landed on if you timed traveled to 40k. Loving this
If I had the ability to time travel to the 41st millennium, I would assume I also had the ability to do half that, and that sounds like a much more inviting proposition.
I had thought about this before, you get transported there without any prep, assuming you get dumped on a random world. although this is very risky I would probably try to get the attention of the inquisition 50/50 you get tortured to death or become a vital asset with meta knowledge of the verse. Alternatively try to pass yourself as a psycer and try to get transport to Tera via a black ship, won’t have to worry about sister of silence melting your brain and they would probably be a bit more reasonable than the inquisition. Or if your inclined become a chaos cultist and hope for the best.
@@anthraxcrab2222 find the nearest Imperial Guard recruitment office and join. If I’m going to live a shit life I may as well do it with a lasgun in my hand.
There is just one small problem. 40K has completely different physics from the real world. Orbital mechanics are not a thing for a start. But also as far as we know nothing like the warp exists in the real world. That means the instant you get transported there is a possibility that in 40K you end up being an extremely powerful psyker or blank (but you never noticed because of no warp). Either one would be bad because you would not be accustomed to being either and the emperor would probably react to killing you as quickly as possible. If any physics linked to neurology changes significantly it will create a kind of shock. So you might not even survive the trip between universes.
As someone who would die on the Guilliman hill, i would love to know about the worlds of ultramar and how they vary from the rest of the worlds of the Imperium.
It would be interesting to see a vid about traveling to the future and joining another faction apart from the imperium, either as a normal human or something that fits in (e.g. mutated human for Chaos or grot/eldar for xenos). Great vid as always :D
Something I feel that's semi-important is who you time travel too and when. For example, I feel you'd have a much higher chance of surviving and mibby even thriving if you were to appear just before the start of the Great Crusade and appeared to someone like Urda, Malcador, Grammaticus, even Big E at that time as each would realise/understand what you are and how important the things you know are. Not saying it's a 100% foolproof way of not getting turned in to a drooling idiot, but it's worth a stab.
Ok, you got me Luetin around the 20th minute, when I started to feel like I was on briefing before the most dangerous mission of my life. I almost started to write down the notes 😂
I really enjoyed you taking this perspective of a time traveler to this universe it created a very tangible sense of immersion and in my opinion allowed for thinking about aspects I wouldn't usually consider coming from the more omnipotent perspective we usually have. Having to think about the intricacies and ways an individual would have to adapt themselves to this universe no matter how much they know about it was very refreshing and added way more layers to the reality of what life is like there. Its also very fortunate that Warhammer 40k just so happens to be a world where very few would listen to you if you were from another time as it reinforced that sense of having to bend to the functioning of the universe and not come in with a sense of slight superiority due to knowing so much more than the average person. I would live to see more videos in this vein or at least with this kind of humbling and thought provoking perspectives
You're so good at faking being an inquisitor that you go years without discovery only to one day trip into a real inquisitor. Through the interrogation they learn of all your exploits and the sheer audacity in which you pulled them off. The Inquisitor gives a nod to his interrogator to which the interrogator says to you "you want a job?"
Almost 800 k wow I remember when you were 200 and something!!! Wow it has been amazing watching you grow. So proud of you and thank you. You have helped me through a lot.
In general, most of your advice is correct at a surface level. But each world has it's own unique differences. For example, most worlds would NEVER let the common rabble into the Govenor's Palace. However, in one of the earlier Ciaphas Cain books, it's mentioned that the Govenor opened the outer gardens on some special holidays each year to the public, such as on Emperor's Day. It's likely that many worlds in the Imperium would have special, specific days where the public can visit places they normally never could, or a more relaxed outlook on the rigidity of social stratas.
Lt I’m so hyped you finally reached 800k subscribers I’ve been with you for some years now and I’m always happy to see you post a new video I always watch it multiple times over I love your work so please please continue your craft
If I had the ability to choose at all whatsoever exactly where I could end up in 40K I would choose Maccragge. Of all places it seems the safest and most civil for a basic pleb of the imperium and you might get the random chance to witness some ultramarines in the flesh!
What a fun video. I enjoyed this one even more than your lore videos. A topic you take very seriously indeed, yet your clearly had fun recording it as well. Thanks!
Praised be the one and only Luetin for making sure that all time travelers had all the necessary details required to travel through the horrific days of 40K. ... honestly true question should be asked who would be dumb and/or crazy enough to even consider doing it?
plenty of 40k fans are dumb enough to unironically be excited at the prospect. Often thinking they'll likely end up being a space marine or inquisitor. As opposed to the more likely scenario of being forced into slavery or made into a servitor, because some modern society entitled soy boy wouldn't survive the vast majority of 40k, let alone stand out enough to be considered for any higher positions in the imperium.
@lukeskywalker82 As someone mentioned Trazyn might be the safest bet just because of his curiosity. Whether or not the environment he’s in is survivable at the time is questionable. 😂
Memorize the Lectitio Divinitatus, become street preacher teaching the glory of the God Emperor, get noticed and recruited by the ecclesiarchy, gain rank, get that Sororitussy
LT this has been such a badass video I love things like this. Thank you so much for what you do! So thought provoking. Happy new year from across the pond. :)
The irony is that once you get to 40k world the easiest way for you to integrate yourself into local society is yo join a Chaos cult. If the cult in question is powerful it can get you any ID you require and help you get a job. If you share some info about 3k or what you know as a 40k reader/player/Luetin09 sub, then you are going places as long for example local noble is a Chaos worshiper. Yes you can and probably will end up dead or sacrificed or turned into something creepy, but if you try something similar with loyalists, you will die no matter what, theres no chance to go up in life
Hello Luetin, great video as always! This one was very intriguing, and I would like to see more of these what if/speculations. May I say that you are my favorite lore RUclipsr? I watch your videos like a podcast and listen while going about my day.
If I could successfully time travel and knew 100% that Chaos wouldn't mess with me and my time machine at all, I'd turn myself in to the Sisters of Battle as an acolyte.
Turning up on a newly integrated human world in an outer sphere Tau expansion territory seems like a safer bet overall as although there are still many risks the Tau aren’t going to have the same expectations of how you fit within human culture, but would in all likelihood be looking to integrate you. If they found out about how you got there they may also be more willing to accept you even if only as a source of information
Hey Luetin, always love your content man you're awesome. I'd love to see a short video about the books Baneblade and Shadowsword - I think they're two extremely high quality ones and go detail about the operations of imperial tanks, loved them both but its a lot smaller scale than this one. Keep it up!
It'd be interesting to see if you could reveal yourself as a time traveler to the mechanics. What could you bring with you that would give you credibility as essentially a proto stc?
Haven’t watched the whole video yet, but my first thought is what about spawning into guillimans and the emperors conversion on terra? You could explain how you were a time traveler and how their were books about them that you read. And give them Information in exchange for protection and freedom. I’m not a lore expert or anything tho that was just a thought.
Thanks Luetin, helps a lot. So many things to think about and mull over :) ...maybe the best course of action with our mysterious black-box device would be almost like a looking-pool, see, hear and observe anywhere in space or time, but from the comfort of our [insert sofa/desk/bed/etc/] ...or even the ability to piggy-back the psyche; like a virtual fly on the wall, of someone who actually belongs in M41 ....hmmm
I do believe that before his resurrection the Ultramarines allowed pilgrims to come to macragge and actually visit the suspended body of Roboute Guilliman. So it’s not impossible you would able to do something like that.
🤔 hmmm....So knowing this now, I would choose to go to a Paradise World as a court musician. I would sneak in and lie that I was offered/told to get a job there. I would say that I was recruited from a feudal world in the backwaters. I play the sax, and want to learn the piano, so I could use that to gain a position. I could play stuff like beethoven and mozart, and no one would know. I could also play off songs as my own and live pretty comfortable. So I would play ambience and during gatherings. Dang... Now I want to write about this. This was really thought through and interesting!
Oh I got a good one. Go to a shrine world, go to there PA and start playing sabaton and leave the area. I willing to bet there going to call you a heretic and put you to the pyre

Happy New Year, You could talk about life of humans on space stations or spaceforts like Galatan, and ships like Macragges Honour, etc. You could also talk about how this can vary per first founding chapter, type of rogue trader, military vessel or civilian vessel etc
The first thing you'd encounter upon time traveling to w40k would be someone desperately trying to time travel back the way you came. That person would probably be your own future self.
Brilliant.

Just banging on the side of the time machine "LET ME IN! LET ME IIIIIIIIINNNN!"

I was thinking in the line that if Trayzyn ever gets a word that a human from M2 suddenly appeared. He would proably spare no expense in adding them to his collection.
It would actually be M3, btw.
@maltheri9833 It’s around 12,000 years old, lol.
@maltheri9833 M3, this is the third millenia (1000 year period) we are in since we are keeping time in a universal way. So 2024 is the 3th millenia ( lasts from 2000-2999)
The earliest civilizations developed between 4000 and 3000 B.C.E., when the rise of agriculture and trade allowed people to have surplus food and economic stability.
Homo sapiens, the first modern humans, evolved from their early hominid predecessors between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. They developed a capacity for language about 50,000 years ago.
😢
@@darkbozo11 We have absolutely no idea when modern humans developed the capacity for language. I rather suspect hat capacity has been around for a LOT longer than a mere 50,000 years. Relatively complex social groups such as human hunter gatherer groups require a LOT more in the way of communication than animals. especially as the young were taught some fairly complex skills, such as flint knapping..... You do NOT teach such skills without a pretty damned advanced form of communication, aka, language, of some sort....
While SOME people think Language is relatively recent, so in your 50,000 year scale, most are not so arrogant, or in my opinion stupid t take that claim at face value, as its probably bullshit....
Because here is a fun little fact, the vocal chords which give us the capacity of language evolved a LOT longer than 50,000 years ago..... And Hominids were cooperating in social groups far more complex than any animal a LONG time before modern humans evolved....
The history of language is certainly a LOT older than you try to claim. Now if you argued that those early languages were simple in comparison to modern languages, I would have to agree, but this 'we started talking 50,000 years ago' is utter crap.....
A running joke is that unlike Star Trek or Star Wars, the 40k fandom are heavily invested in a universe they would never want to visit.
I think the scary thing is that there are a lot of people who would actually like to live in this world, like Medieval RPers, because they never seem to stop and think what daily life would actually entail if you didn't win 'the lottery' of what role you had... sometimes not even then.
I don't think I would want to live in Star Trek either. Imagine getting vented into space because you're septuagenarian captain tried to talk to the obviously hostile aliens.
A Star Trek fan says, "I want to be a starship captain!"
A Star Wars fan says, "I want to be a Jedi!"
A Harry Potter fan says, "I want to be a wizard!"
A 40k fan says, ".... Nah, I'm cool."
Kinda like porn. You like the girls but you'd never want to marry them or let them meet your mum 😂
@@MLaak86monarchists always assume that they’ll be the monarch.
This is where to take your videos dude, this is something that other creators can't really replicate because it relies on your skills as a storyteller AND the ability to realistically immerse yourself in a world. Very cool.
Yeah this is a level of worldbuilding and immersion that is sorely lacking elsewhere. Bloody good work Luetin 💜
I recently discovered Vox in the void, some good voice work and storytelling.
Great comment. I don't find it ethical to promote any other channels by name on someone else's video, especially when it's similar subject matter. As such, I won't name anyone but you're correct on the importance of storytelling ability. There are maybe three other channels I would actually listen to a long lore video from them. The others are good, don't get me wrong but they are more about presenting the info, while Luetin makes it great entertainment. This feels almost like an audiobook or a guided tour rather than just someone reading the lexicanum article
@@ThommyofThenn Actually, recommendation of other channels is a standard YT practice, and a way for people to find similar channels
@@masstv9052 thanks masstv
It didn’t turn out too well for the crew of the “Spirit of Eternity,” so I will pass on travelling to the Imperium. I would go back to the 80s.
Hear, hear
Go to the 80s with like $300. Buy some stuff off the shelf in Target. Return to the present.
Profit.
True but they didnt have our objective knowledge of the future lol
Imagine being at the zenith of humanity and not being able to survive in the imperium. grim
Ahhh I hear the cocaine and rampant STDs were the best back then. Nurgle and slanesh doing their thing
This is such a fun idea to consider, particularly in how similar travelling into the far future starts to become to travelling into the past.
travel to 1200 AD, flash a local peasant your smart phone, and the inquisition will burn you as a sorcerer
travel to 41m, flash a local peasant your smart phone, and the inquisition will burn you as a sorcerer
Medieval people wouldn't be that disgusted by a phone. It would definitely confuse people, but unfamiliar technology that you can't wrap your head around has been introduced to people for pretty much all of history. People back then weren't stupid nor anywhere near as zealous(for the most part) as people in 40k.
Similar to how germ theory wouldn't have you burned either. They'd just raise a brow and nod their head and say something along the lines of "Yeah? Uh-huh, okay, whatever, dude."
Though a 40K inquisitor would probably be that way. At least if you gave them the impression that there was any AI being used in it... might want to stay light on apps.
Speculation Video idea: The Emperor awakens and declares you the Lord of the Imperium and to do everything you say, no matter what. Could you save humanity? How would you stop the crumbling and inevitable destruction of the Imperium? What would you do?
CIV 40K
I mean... Do any of us think we could do better than Guilliman? I think I would give up lest I screw things up worse.
Step 1. Order a custode to shoot me in the face
Step 2. There is no step 2.
1 Do a little dance
2 Make a little love
3 Get down tonight
@@inthefadewe know more than guilliman, because, when looking at a fictional universe, we're essentially omniscient.
Speculation idea spinoff: You are frozen in a cryocapsule, like Fry from Futurama. During the Golden age of technology your capsule is ordered off-world to a reawakening facility; however, your ship is lost in transit. Speculation: what is your fate depending on which faction/age finds your ship and your cryocapsule?
The last setting I'd decide to travel to would probably be 40k
*Truck-kun kills me*
God: "You will be isekaied to your favourite universe"
Me: "I'd rather just go to hell..."
Truck kun knows no mercy @@Vollification
If you could pick where it wouldnt be so bad. Pick a fuedal farming world, cozy. You'd probably work just as much as humanity does now frankly.
come on you have like a 0.00000000003% chance of ending up on a pleasure world! surely that's worth the risk ending up on a death world or a irradiated factory complex?
I would rather travel to the attack on titan universe right when the wall is destroyed.
One option for the arms trader gig would be night vision goggles. For whatever reason, they are VERY rare in the imperium, but commonplace and comparatively affordable today.
SMH, think for a second. Do you think their night vision goggles would be the same as the ones we have? They have tech from the golden age of humanity.... you cant even think through simple things and yet you see yourself as a relatively intelligent person.
Just so you know, Luetin, there IS a canonical translator in the 40k verse, at least in the recent Rogue Trader game. it's called an elucidator.
yeah I should have actually done a quick search on that one while recording, and afterwards found there are a couple of references. But it makes sense there would be, I think the point is though, they are not commonly used, probably just Inquisitors Deathwatch etc.
To be fair. They are rare and valuable piece of equipment. If you carry it around you'll catch attention from people who will want to know were did you get it or want to take it from you.
Very true! Still, I thought it would be important to mention
@@Luetin09 I think with passing knowledge of Swedish/Norwegian, Finnish and Latin you could actually communicate on Fenris. If you live long enough to communicate.

Always happy to have fresh 40K content from the Lore Master.
Disagree. Best scenario (moderate risk): you immediately meet a Custodian. They’re the most likely to know an archaic language, and if you claim the Emperor pulled you from his past to help in some manner only he knows you’d at least pique their curiosity, especially if you can recite details from the Great Crusade, talk about the Cybernetic Revolt, and similar.
Same logic: Molech, in front of the Gate. High risk, potentially extremely high reward.
Riskier but available most places: demand to see an Inquisitor and try the same thing, but your odds of being tortured go way up.
@@robertkb64I think you replied to the wrong comment
Just imagine traveling into the far distant future, taking a look around, and realising, "holly shit, Games Workshop totally called it, those guy were spot on!"

"oh god, they were spot on"

The future is way more libertarian than people anticipate.
first thing to do when time traveling to 40k: avoid it at any cost.
Yeah... maybe materialise in the early to mid Golden Age, like a lifetime or two earlier than when all everything starts going to shit.
Here there be monsters!
I dunno. A visit to Trazyn's collection would be fascinating. I think a key to that visit would be an interesting offering.
@@Greatlakessailing Just make sure you don't end up as a new exhibit.
Not hard, as it is a fictional verse.....
Step 1: Acquire the formula for Red Bull.
Step 2: Time travel to M41 Mars.
Step 3: Offer up the formula for an energy potion that increases productivity in Imperial laborers to the forge world in exchange for joining the Cult Mechanicum as a techpriest acolyte.
Step 4: Become a nearly immortal biomechanical monstrosity.
better plan:travel to the Dark age of technology, download as many STC's as possible,travel to M41,then trade the STC archive "you found around somewhere" to the Mechanicus and become the ruler of your own Star system or get a warrant of trade in exchange. There's only one downturn:you could getting killed or servitorized by a selfish and greedy techpriest who wants to keep this stuff to himself,if you talk to the wrong one.
Step 5: Remember that they do all their surgery without anesthetics since they're just cutting away human flesh.
Step 6: You try to actually fix the electric motor by cutting the faulty cable and soldering it to it's connection point, without using the proper rituals, ointments and prayers, get branded a heretic and turned into a servitor for hurting the machine spirit.

The Ordos Chronos thanks you for this agent primer, Luetin09.
I absolutely love the 40k setting. It's sheer scale, the diversity of characters and factions, the interpersonal interactions between nearly immortal beings, the complexity of hive cities are all great and ponderous aspects of a fictional setting. That being said, I hope to God that I never find myself there.
Kinda reminds me of BioShock's commentary of "even in a city of geniuses, someone has to clean the toilets."
I like the idea, if it's at all possible, of asking for sanctuary in the Black Library. Just throw yourself on the mercy of the Harlequins and let them know you're just looking for a safe space to live out the rest of your life. Seems like a nice place for us nerds if they allow it.
You might be able to turn yourself over to the ordo chronos. Working with the inquisition would solve the ID problem, it's a gamble though.

*[FURTHER DETAILS REDACTED BY THE ORDO HERETICUS]*
You might want to mention the tiny little detail that the more you know about the true nature of Chaos, the more suseptible you are to its corruption. Considering we know the true name of all 4 gods and many of their greatest daemons... Even without being psykers, that has got to be one hell of a beacon for those entities.
Travel to the pinnacle of the dark age of technology. That would be interesting to see.
Was just thinking this. Also probably the safest time to visit in the setting.
@@JWat-ko1hr so long as you arrive before the Men of Iron revolt
That would be the best time before the men of iron rebelled. At the golden age of technology men basically lived like gods.
Maybe this is just me, but as a outside visiter to the 40k galaxy I kinda wanna see if I could infliltrate a Chaos cult. Now that sounds insaine until you really think about it, Chaos cults are generally very hidden from the authorities of the Imperium and some even have access to the upper noble levels within hive cities. So if you were to join their ranks maybe as a weapons trader you might be able to access typically blocked off areas of planets. The issue would be is which god the cult worships, Khorn and Nurgle cults are out of the question as they would likely kill you randomly through implulsive violance or deadly disese. Slaneesh cults could be possible to infliltrate depending on how many drugs you're willing to take, but Tzeench cults are likely you're best bet as most of you reading this have a decent amount of knowlege about the 40k universe and the cult might be very interested to learn you're precious knowlege. Also if you guys are thinking that this idea applies to Gensteeler Cults as well then your wrong, as most members of a Gensteeler cult have a synapse link with their fellow members so they will know instantly that you're not one of them. Am I Insaine what do you guys think?
As much as it would completely suck... honestly, joining a Nurgle cult might be one of the only ways you'd have any prayer of surviving any of the future pathogens.
The thing is... the ppl that interact with chaos and dont get corrupted are the guys THAT DONT SEE THEn HAS GODS. See Bile and renow psykers etc.

Exactly. In the 41st Millennium, humanity is not a discrete collection of individuals, but a relentless symphony, surging forth with an indomitable rhythm across the ink-black canvas of space. To exist in the Imperium is to be a single note in this celestial crescendo, a solitary heartbeat within the gainful pulse of the omniscient God-Emperor.
Each life is not a frail and isolated flicker in an encroaching oblivion, but a radiant ember contributing to a resplendent inferno. Every soldier, every worker, every martyr; their pains and sufferings, their agonising final stands and quiet, unheralded ends are kindling for this blaze that illuminates the devouring darkness of the cosmos.
Yes, your death may seem to be an inconsequential vanishing, a soft sigh swallowed up in the roaring orchestra of war that spans light-years. Your blood might sink into the thirsty dust of alien soil, forgotten by time. However, understand this truth: In the ceaseless crucible of battle against the alien horror, the heretic, your soul flares bright, searing a precious testament upon the universe’s endless night.
The God-Emperor sees, and cherishes. Beneath his eternal gaze, the golden sentinel of humanity, you are not merely blood and bone, but a torchbearer. An irreplaceable thread in the imperishable tapestry of humanity woven across the eons, where no thread is unimportant, no colour insignificant. Your sacrifice is an affirmation, a silent vow uttered to the void that we stand here, hardened by spirit and often, martyrdom but unfailing in your tireless resonance.
Dreams of peace may seem unreachable when you march through the meat grinder that endless conflict has reduced existence to. Yet your arduous steps beat the rhythm of a sacrifice song that resonates in the aether. A glorious requiem that soars amidst celestial bodies, its sublime etheric chords strummed by the heroic, the noble, the forgotten.
The kaleidoscope of existence comes with suffering, but it too brings unity. For through the storm of war, be it under viridian skies of distant utopias or beneath copper canopies of alien fortresses, the heart of the Imperium thrums steadfast. Within its rhythm echoes a reminder that your life, your death, your joy, your pain - they are the sinews and tendons bridging the flesh and steel bones of the Imperium.
In the vaults of the cosmos, beneath the cosmic echoes and amongst the radiant chaos, you are more than an individual facing inexorable oblivion; you are a vital, breathing element of an eternal symphony. One that drowns out the cacophonous machinery of war and stands resolute against the perennial abyss. Thus, in the golden gaze of the God-Emperor, your sacrifice illuminates a trail into the future - a future where the collective might of humanity, steeled by your sacrifice, stands victorious.
On the matter of translation mcguffins: one instance a „Lingua Servitor“ was mentioned was in „Courage and Honour“ by Graham McNeill. It was used by the Ultramarines to interrogate a T‘au prisoner and it was implied they had more than one language translator.

I may be crazy, but that's my top 3 :
- Going to Baal Secundus right before Sanguinius' pod would land. I wouldn't try to change anything to the story, I would just try to survive long enough to see the Angel's doings with my own eyes, and eventually, if I haven't been irradied to death yet, enroll into the Blood Angel legion.
- Get a drink with Ciaphas Cain.
- Try to become an Inquisitor in M41.
You wouldn’t try to prevent the traitorous arcs of some of the primarchs or prevent certain events from happening? It could be easy to do for some of them.
You could make sure Kor Phaeron & Erebus “disappear” so they never get the chance to dig their claws into Lorgar.
Or you could tell Magnus it would be better to physically teleport to the front door of the Imperial Palace personally rather than trying to manifest directly into the Emperor’s laboratories, thus saving the Webway project and preventing a warp portal permanently opening on Terra itself. Etc.
@@CousinJesse1im sure that wouldn't monkey paw that reality at all.
@@CousinJesse1 Well, if I had to change something, it would definitely be stopping Magnus in one way or another to fck up the web way. But even then, it would mean that Horus already became a traitor and everything else from that point would change. Not sure if it would be for the best.
I wouldn't try to prevent horus from falling into chaos though. People often consider Erebus as the catalyst for the entire heresy, but I believe that even without him and his sorcery the chaos god would have still found a way to corrupt Lorgar, Horus, and any other primarch they had their eyes set on.
@@EliteCustodes lorgar mightve still fallen without erebus and kor phaeron, but the big thing about erebus is he instituted the warrior lodges that turned the normal astartes traitor. Sure, the primarch would bring some, but so many astartes already being turned through the lodges helped massively. Without that lodge in each legion/chapter/company/ship/expedition fleet, it would not have been such a large schism. especially among legions like the white scars and dark angels.
@@EliteCustodesAlso of you go there for when Sang landed on Baal, it would be Centuries until Mangus fucks everything up so youd likely be dead
I think Noble might actually be easier than falling in with the rabble. Mostly because with no augmentations Nobles are the ones most likely to be able to say that they're "Clean", and speaking of clean they are also most likely to be the ones that keep their hygiene up like we do.
Also, noble families are also large enough that not everybody knows everybody, so if you can confidently lie about who you're daddy/mommy is I think you can make it pretty easily or at least have an easier start than anywhere else. Especially as a Lowly noble.
Also, knowing Latin apparently helps.
Just some food for thought.
Yeah, in my experience it's usually easier to blag that you're high status than low. Even if you're successful as passing as low status it could still mean you get treated teriibly, at least you get treated well if you get away with being a noble!
You just need to have that indefinable confidence that schools like Eton charge the gdp of a small country to instill!
The other option might be the high vis jacket plus walkie talkie cosplay, just talk into your radio and walk confidently and you can usually get where you need to go, maybe add a couple of lanyards and wristbands for extra legitimacy :)
In WH40k even a Paradise World is just a grimdark Epstein Island. 😆
The term "Emperor's CHILDREN" becomes far more disturbing in that context. I'm sure there's an Inquisitor Hansen that specializes in hunting down that particular brand of heresy.
@@changer_of_ways_999lol, thats a goodnidea for a game table xD
Please continue this series: My suggestion would be visiting a Tau subjugated world, if there is enough lore out there to support some speculation.
I just want to know, if i could at all possibly convince Trayzn to let me explore part of Solemnce if I swore I would never, ever, attempt to interfere or mishandle his work. I just want to admire his collection in its current form.
Let's be honest, you would be placed straight in a "pre DOAT human exhibit"
If you have the ability to time travel, he would probably accept a trade of some kind.
@@thisistherevolt only if it's backwards travel as well, necron lifespans and such are already as such that traveling 10k years is pretty much just having a couple of weeks holiday
I would definitely be hitting up trazyn first if that was an option. Unfortunately you’re likely to become an exhibit.
If trazyn saw a time traveling human he would put him right next to Creed in his museum.
The first thing I'm doing BEFORE traveling is giving myself the powers of either cosmic armor superman or Dr. Manhattan, so that if I were to be challenged by any opponents, be they chaos or dark elder or beyond, I would be able to overcome it several times over. Next I would learn Latin for any niche situations. Next, after aiming for the 41st millennium, I would try to land in the bowels of some hive city on an aggriworld and immediately look for work. In a place like this it would be easy to assume an identity because the imperium's bureaucracy is too clogged to notice the difference. From that point on it's all about learning to aquiesse and assimilate both socially and culturally which would probably take anywhere from 5 months to a year. After that, it's basically a playground. Maybe you get bored so you try to get hired by a rogue trader. Maybe you just fly off into space every now and again. The sky is basically the limit for whatever amount of time you are there because of the preparation taken before arrival. Bit of a long reply but yeah, if I have the technology to travel there through time, I'm not leaving until I give myself a buff first lol.
That assumes that those powers can coexist with the laws of physics in 40K.
I don't presently see why they wouldn't given one would be travelling from their universe to the 40k universe. Even if we count the 40k universe as existing within our own, I'm sure the DAOT would have had something on par with the acquisition of those sorts of powers.@@alwynwatson6119
Just as I thought of sleeping, my boy luetin drops another banger ❤
I think the more likely scenario is: "So Tzeench threw you through time into M41 just to mess with you, how are you going to survive?"
Well, yeah. It's just like Kairos getting chucked into the Well of Eternity. The time travel mechanics would almost certainly be tied to the warp. Even if the Imperium wouldn't detect you, there's Chaos demons and oracles and everything. They'd love to get their hands on a chronological oddity... if Trazyn doesn't get you first.
You don't.
@@changer_of_ways_999 our most favourite kleptomaniac would be the lesser of those two evils 😂
That means chaos gods are capable of traveling between universes.
@@Spartan135 I mean, Trazyn wouldn't be the worst to get caught by. You'd probably just be frozen in time. At least he wouldn't torture you, unless you're considered expendable, and a temporal anomaly certainly isn't.
If you're interested in the Pilgrimage to Terra, Oculus Imperia has a video on the trip and it's fantastic! He deserves more credit than he gets! Love the Video!!!
Hmm, at first, i was like, "Hmmm, i guess this might be interesting..." and 15 min in, and i'm absolutely invested!
Great idea for a video, I already know im gonna listen to this one multiple times.
I'd love to see a series continuing this idea!
Thanks Luetin as always, you're the best!
For the throwing out names and being confident part, I feel like I'd accidentally say some chaos related name and get shot by the Inquisition.
Random citizen: "So, where are you from?"
"Well, I was from... Near Ultramar, I also kinda just hung around the Sol system for a while too. Used to live near the Eye of Terror, but it expanded, and a warp storm destroyed my home..."
Random citizen: "Oh! Ultramar! I used to hang around those parts! Did ya meet my buddy, down at the Aqua dispensery?"
"Uhhh, yeah, I think so! What was his name? ...Alpharius, right? ...whoops..."
*stomp stomp stomp* undercover inquisitor walks over
*BLAM*
Also, "if you happen to see a Sororitas, avert your eyes."
Wouldn't it be more convincing if you, as a religious pilgrim who had never left your hive city or feudal world, were completely enamored by the superhuman warrior that's in front of you?
Just make sure not to flirt with her, that would probably lead a short and painful encounter :P
@logansmall5148 Or worse, long and painful. I wouldn't want to be a servitor.
Of course you could get lucky, find one that's susceptible to Slanessh, and hey, maybe she finds the lowly citizens cute or something. Anything is possible in 40K.
Sisters of Battle do not take Vows of Celibacy, you'll probably be fine unless youre really disrespectful or trying to interrupt them when they have shit to do.
If you as Star Wars fans if they'd like to b transported to the Star Wars universe:
"Heck yeah!"
If you ask Star Trek fans if they'd like to be transported to the Star Trek universe:
"Heck Yeah!"
If you as a 40k fan if they'd like to be transported to the 40k universe:
"NO!!!" *Runs away in terror.*
Speaking of speculative scenarios, I'd LOVE to hear luetins take on surviving a zombie apocalypse 😮
You can't.
@@MLaak86 a man's reach should exceed his grasp
What about instead of just a zombie outbreak but a Nurgle Plague Cult uprising?
@@fangwu7576 both
Those are a thing in wh.
I’ve been thinking on this concept a lot when I got into the lore especially recently and I also agree that Feudal worlds are probably the best places as it’s less dangerous than other places. I also got a true feel of the how totalitarian the imperium is and it was a very scary. Amazing video loved every second of it, love all of your work! Keep it up!
Always good to see a new LT upload. I'd love you to cover teleportation in 40k as it's such a huge technology which would really break a lot of fictional verses, but even though it's mentioned from time to time I've never seen its 40k version's limits, applications and main users explained.
I'd like to see a series on how to survive as a time traveler on specific worlds or during specific events of the lore
“Omg no, no anywhere but here. Have you heard of the Rawlsian veil of ignorance? I would choke myself with that veil before I decided to travel there.”
By the way, a novel about someone and their friends faking being inquisitors is an absolutely genius idea... How far could they take it?
Could just say the inquisitorial crest got shattered in some fight
Just need something that looks close to it and bunch of wires, no one knows technology anyway, not even Mars
Then you just need some confidence, but you also gotta do some inquisitor work to not become too suspoicious, or at least seem like you're doing something
It would definitely be quite fun haha
I have kicked this idea around before in my head, Astrates drop pods are hitting military bases worldwide while Guard Regiments are taking cities. Meanwhile I'm carrying around the inquisitor rosette replica I keep in my workshop and trying to get them to stop. " Stop in the name of the inquisition! My master has set up this low tech world in an effort to replicate the development of the STC's! And we are getting close, they have started developing something called CHATGPT, which could be the precursor to full STC's!"
Plot twist that's the entire inquisition.
@@Ikxi Fake inquisitors pretending to do Inquisitor work, and accidentally stumbling across a real Chaos cult, eventually thwarting it. Kind of like an inquisitorial version of Ciaphas Cain.
I love the speculation and making 40k even more personal. Keep up the great work Leutin and Happy New Year.
Here's how I would do it:
Step 1) Reconsider
Step 2) Try to hang with the Tau, I guess?
Also, it's worth noting that not only would you be vulnerable to pathogens present in the far future, the pathogens you bring with you might have been long extinct in the far future and carry just as much a threat to everyone around you. You might accidentally be a herald of Nurgle.
Idk, maybe nurgle would make contact and tell you: "Just wanna say, i'm a huge fan"
@@skiadrum9029oh big fan, could I get an autograph please, fancy a drink? Or hi, I’m nurgle…we should talk
This is a great point.
Time travel to the Imperium. Bring the common cold. Wipe out humanity.
Ooppss.
If you could send a message to the Emperor of M30 (let's say, during the Great Crusade and before any of the Primarchs have fallen to Chaos), what do you warn him about? Which dominoes can you stop from falling, and which will fall regardless of what you do? What do you think the downstream effects of your warning would be?
"Hey Jimmy Space! What's going on man, yeah you probably recognize my particular set of slang. Yeah I'm a time traveler, yeah I've only got 2 warnings for you. You need to kill 2 dudes named Erebus and Luther that are buddies with a couple of your sons. Yeah Lion and Lorgar. Bald dudes bad, yeah you got it. Alrighty man, have a good one."
Imagine your surprise that regardless of what you warn him for he goes like 'Yes, yes ... that is my plan all along' :P
Bring magnus' ass to the imperial palace and personally keep an eye on his warp fuckery
Or just kill Erebus as a baby or something.

I am addicted to your content and your voice. I wish you would post more often! So into it
I try my best... but... Time is the fire in which we burn
Speciation idea: What if the emperor wasn't mortally wounded at the battle of terra and entombed on the golden throne what would the galaxy look like? How would he have dealt with the various popular xenos races?
Suggestion to future ideas for the series , how would you survive in Nastramo , or the planets the primarchs landed on if you timed traveled to 40k. Loving this
If I had the ability to time travel to the 41st millennium, I would assume I also had the ability to do half that, and that sounds like a much more inviting proposition.
Haven't listened to you in almost 4 months do to depression. Glad to be back.
I am a simple man, I see a Luetin video and I like it.
Using throne gelt is like trying to pay with a £50 note today - they are going to check it, call their manager etc
I had thought about this before, you get transported there without any prep, assuming you get dumped on a random world. although this is very risky I would probably try to get the attention of the inquisition 50/50 you get tortured to death or become a vital asset with meta knowledge of the verse. Alternatively try to pass yourself as a psycer and try to get transport to Tera via a black ship, won’t have to worry about sister of silence melting your brain and they would probably be a bit more reasonable than the inquisition. Or if your inclined become a chaos cultist and hope for the best.
None of these ideas are good at all.
@@andrewpandrew7786 what do you do? Genuinely, what else, become a hive worker, commit die?
@@anthraxcrab2222 find the nearest Imperial Guard recruitment office and join. If I’m going to live a shit life I may as well do it with a lasgun in my hand.
There is just one small problem. 40K has completely different physics from the real world. Orbital mechanics are not a thing for a start. But also as far as we know nothing like the warp exists in the real world. That means the instant you get transported there is a possibility that in 40K you end up being an extremely powerful psyker or blank (but you never noticed because of no warp). Either one would be bad because you would not be accustomed to being either and the emperor would probably react to killing you as quickly as possible. If any physics linked to neurology changes significantly it will create a kind of shock. So you might not even survive the trip between universes.
"Which side of the square the Cathedral is on?" - Nice Where Eagles Dare reference...
well done my friend, I am saddened you are the only person who picked that one up 😑
As someone who would die on the Guilliman hill, i would love to know about the worlds of ultramar and how they vary from the rest of the worlds of the Imperium.
It would be interesting to see a vid about traveling to the future and joining another faction apart from the imperium, either as a normal human or something that fits in (e.g. mutated human for Chaos or grot/eldar for xenos). Great vid as always :D
Something I feel that's semi-important is who you time travel too and when.
For example, I feel you'd have a much higher chance of surviving and mibby even thriving if you were to appear just before the start of the Great Crusade and appeared to someone like Urda, Malcador, Grammaticus, even Big E at that time as each would realise/understand what you are and how important the things you know are.
Not saying it's a 100% foolproof way of not getting turned in to a drooling idiot, but it's worth a stab.
Creeping up to 800k subscribers! Congratulations, Luetin! Thank you for such high-quality content. Here's to 1 million for 2024!
I... I didn't think about time traveling to the 40K milieu.
But now I'm going to...
More luetin is always good! You're knowledge and experience on the matter makes everything more appealing to watch
Ok, you got me Luetin around the 20th minute, when I started to feel like I was on briefing before the most dangerous mission of my life. I almost started to write down the notes 😂
I really enjoyed you taking this perspective of a time traveler to this universe it created a very tangible sense of immersion and in my opinion allowed for thinking about aspects I wouldn't usually consider coming from the more omnipotent perspective we usually have. Having to think about the intricacies and ways an individual would have to adapt themselves to this universe no matter how much they know about it was very refreshing and added way more layers to the reality of what life is like there. Its also very fortunate that Warhammer 40k just so happens to be a world where very few would listen to you if you were from another time as it reinforced that sense of having to bend to the functioning of the universe and not come in with a sense of slight superiority due to knowing so much more than the average person. I would live to see more videos in this vein or at least with this kind of humbling and thought provoking perspectives
You're so good at faking being an inquisitor that you go years without discovery only to one day trip into a real inquisitor. Through the interrogation they learn of all your exploits and the sheer audacity in which you pulled them off. The Inquisitor gives a nod to his interrogator to which the interrogator says to you "you want a job?"
Red sports coat, white pinstripe pants, a friendly attitude and 76 trombones. All you need
I would go to Ultramar and with my knowledge of the Imperium declare myself to Robute and become an advisor/saint/savant/servitor!
Nice variety you've got there
Ultramar isnt the worse place to be if it goes terribly wrong either.

Almost 800 k wow I remember when you were 200 and something!!! Wow it has been amazing watching you grow. So proud of you and thank you. You have helped me through a lot.
In general, most of your advice is correct at a surface level. But each world has it's own unique differences. For example, most worlds would NEVER let the common rabble into the Govenor's Palace. However, in one of the earlier Ciaphas Cain books, it's mentioned that the Govenor opened the outer gardens on some special holidays each year to the public, such as on Emperor's Day. It's likely that many worlds in the Imperium would have special, specific days where the public can visit places they normally never could, or a more relaxed outlook on the rigidity of social stratas.
Lt I’m so hyped you finally reached 800k subscribers I’ve been with you for some years now and I’m always happy to see you post a new video I always watch it multiple times over I love your work so please please continue your craft
If I had the ability to choose at all whatsoever exactly where I could end up in 40K I would choose Maccragge. Of all places it seems the safest and most civil for a basic pleb of the imperium and you might get the random chance to witness some ultramarines in the flesh!
What a fun video. I enjoyed this one even more than your lore videos. A topic you take very seriously indeed, yet your clearly had fun recording it as well. Thanks!
Praised be the one and only Luetin for making sure that all time travelers had all the necessary details required to travel through the horrific days of 40K.
... honestly true question should be asked who would be dumb and/or crazy enough to even consider doing it?
plenty of 40k fans are dumb enough to unironically be excited at the prospect. Often thinking they'll likely end up being a space marine or inquisitor. As opposed to the more likely scenario of being forced into slavery or made into a servitor, because some modern society entitled soy boy wouldn't survive the vast majority of 40k, let alone stand out enough to be considered for any higher positions in the imperium.
@lukeskywalker82 As someone mentioned Trazyn might be the safest bet just because of his curiosity. Whether or not the environment he’s in is survivable at the time is questionable. 😂
As always, nice Story! Next: Someone from 40k travels back to us/today :)
Memorize the Lectitio Divinitatus, become street preacher teaching the glory of the God Emperor, get noticed and recruited by the ecclesiarchy, gain rank, get that Sororitussy
LT this has been such a badass video I love things like this. Thank you so much for what you do! So thought provoking.
Happy new year from across the pond. :)
The irony is that once you get to 40k world the easiest way for you to integrate yourself into local society is yo join a Chaos cult. If the cult in question is powerful it can get you any ID you require and help you get a job. If you share some info about 3k or what you know as a 40k reader/player/Luetin09 sub, then you are going places as long for example local noble is a Chaos worshiper.
Yes you can and probably will end up dead or sacrificed or turned into something creepy, but if you try something similar with loyalists, you will die no matter what, theres no chance to go up in life
Hello Luetin, great video as always! This one was very intriguing, and I would like to see more of these what if/speculations. May I say that you are my favorite lore RUclipsr? I watch your videos like a podcast and listen while going about my day.
If I could successfully time travel and knew 100% that Chaos wouldn't mess with me and my time machine at all, I'd turn myself in to the Sisters of Battle as an acolyte.
This video is GREAT inspiration for playing a certain TTRPG based in the Calixis sector... that place near the setting of the new Rogue Trader game...
Turning up on a newly integrated human world in an outer sphere Tau expansion territory seems like a safer bet overall as although there are still many risks the Tau aren’t going to have the same expectations of how you fit within human culture, but would in all likelihood be looking to integrate you. If they found out about how you got there they may also be more willing to accept you even if only as a source of information
Hey Luetin, always love your content man you're awesome.
I'd love to see a short video about the books Baneblade and Shadowsword - I think they're two extremely high quality ones and go detail about the operations of imperial tanks, loved them both but its a lot smaller scale than this one.
Keep it up!
It'd be interesting to see if you could reveal yourself as a time traveler to the mechanics. What could you bring with you that would give you credibility as essentially a proto stc?
Haven’t watched the whole video yet, but my first thought is what about spawning into guillimans and the emperors conversion on terra? You could explain how you were a time traveler and how their were books about them that you read. And give them Information in exchange for protection and freedom. I’m not a lore expert or anything tho that was just a thought.

Thanks Luetin, helps a lot. So many things to think about and mull over :) ...maybe the best course of action with our mysterious black-box device would be almost like a looking-pool, see, hear and observe anywhere in space or time, but from the comfort of our [insert sofa/desk/bed/etc/] ...or even the ability to piggy-back the psyche; like a virtual fly on the wall, of someone who actually belongs in M41 ....hmmm
I do believe that before his resurrection the Ultramarines allowed pilgrims to come to macragge and actually visit the suspended body of Roboute Guilliman. So it’s not impossible you would able to do something like that.
They did thats where the rumor of him healing slowly came from
🤔 hmmm....So knowing this now, I would choose to go to a Paradise World as a court musician. I would sneak in and lie that I was offered/told to get a job there. I would say that I was recruited from a feudal world in the backwaters.
I play the sax, and want to learn the piano, so I could use that to gain a position.
I could play stuff like beethoven and mozart, and no one would know. I could also play off songs as my own and live pretty comfortable. So I would play ambience and during gatherings.
Dang... Now I want to write about this. This was really thought through and interesting!
Oh I got a good one. Go to a shrine world, go to there PA and start playing sabaton and leave the area. I willing to bet there going to call you a heretic and put you to the pyre
