    I remember enjoying Trazhyn's scenes in those books so much: man's chilling in his own tropical retirée when everything in the galaxy is going to fucking shit and when the bell starts tolling so hard it breaks his stuff he's like "OI?! Can't have that!" and casually drops it *in the Webway* xD

    For those wondering what happened to the Ynarri story; Seeing the eldar having 4 of the 5 crone swords slaanesh said "My ball and im taking it home" and just yoinked the 5th one. Unable to get the sword, the story is over and never mentioned again. gg. Great vid as usual Ian.

    • @Bluecho4
      @Bluecho4 ปีที่แล้ว +69

      My assumption is that the Gathering Storm storyline was meant to pave the way for an "End Times" style storyline, such as the one that, well, ended Warhammer Fantasy. In essence, the Ynarri potentially getting the five swords and killing Slaanesh would have been part of a big event that ended 40K, paving the way for a setting reboot like that of Age of Sigmar.
      But then GW saw how poorly received End Times was, and got cold feet. They didn't necessarily want to torpedo their cash-cow game. So they quietly scrapped plans for a full reboot, and went with the Indomitus Crusade instead. A definite shake-up of the 40K formula, but not the rebuild from square one that Age of Sigmar was.

      @@Bluecho4 It seems likely you are right. I dont think they need to scrap it however, its pretty open ended. GW have an issue with slaanesh anyway, with the sexual element of it. They did away with the prince of pleasures in AoS already, likely for similar reasons. You can have all the violence you want in the grimdark future but no sex please, we are British. I personally liked that there was some story line going on with a faction other then imperum, I hope something comes of this, if not getting the 5th sword some sort of "Well we got 4, thats pretty good, lets see what we can do with that" or just special Death Cult units for the faction.

    I love how all the reasons for the factions getting involved is perfectly in line with their character with Chaos being the one causing the conflic resulting in the Imperium reacting while the Eldar are gathered through faith and prophesies and gratee plans and finally the Necrons (Trazyn) just doing it because they (he) thought it'd be fun, all culminating in Chaos doing the space equivalent of flipping the table

    My memory of the news of these books coming out was a collective sigh of relief in the fandom (at least my part of it). Games workshop's insistence that they would not move past the last year of the 41st millennium had become a weight around the neck of setting and it was starting to stagnate. And while I haven't been super thrilled about any of the new stuff (where my blue-skinned bois at GW?!) I'm glad they're willing to let the setting evolve again.

  • @ithemba

    I began playing in 3rd and played through 4th edition before stopping for many years. I remember checking in after I heard about Gathering Storm, reading the campaign book, since I knew the whole Cadia scenario well from the Eye of Terror Campaign, and being complete put off by its style. I never started playing again, basically turning my back on 40k again for years and years.
    What I loved about the warhammer books was the suggestive open world feeling of all the bits of lore: seldom was any bit of lore established as definitive fact, a lot was purposefully obscured, ie because the lore text was a fictive piece of imperial archive material and had been censored by the Inquisition or some such. Most stuff was rumored or at least overshadowed by doubt or different theories, or straight up superstition. Texts that conciously tried to NOT be canonical. The feeling of the slow decay of knowledge and information over the 10.000 years since the heresy into a world of controlled propaganda, blisfull ignorance and turning into religious dogma what once was straight up history or fact: I remember how the first codex Malleus made VERY clear that the popolace (and rank and file of the Imperial Army) were left ignorant about the very existence of the threat Chaos, Demons and even the continued existance of traitor legions. Planets population was systematically purged after they encountered (and beat back) Chaos Invasions so as to contain the information about the very existance of that threat - just as with the populace of Armageddon after the first war, when they beat back Angorns World Eaters.
    I remember how my friends and I spent the summer of the eye of terror campaign heatedly discussing all the lore implications and or hints and bait in the campaign book about characters and their motivation to take part in the battle for Cadia.
    I LOVED that. It always felt like an invitation to tell your own stories in the dark future of the 41st millenium. It was a exclamation mark: Insert your own story here!
    I was sooooo taken aback by the new style and the demystification of once completely mythical figures like Primarchs by having them as straight up protagonists of the story. The 42nd Millenium and its lore basically has barely anything left of what Wh40k was for me.

    Great video, and I'd absolutely love to have you breakdown the story of other narrative campaigns held in the 40k universe in the same way.
    Maybe also, and I don't know if it's feasible, but a video on the history (and evolution) of the narrative campaign books might also be useful?

    Well that was wild!
    I haven't played 40k for ~15 years (around the time of the 13th Black Crusade/Eye of Terror campaign). So this really useful in catching me up on things.
    Would love to see more videos bridging the gap from here to Arcs of Omen.

    Thank you for the summary. I don't blame you for the fact that this is the reason I kind of daren't ask for any more new Eldar lore.

    Gathering Storm was good but man it should've been spread out more to allow certain elements to breathe more

    Thank you for this! I’m a newcomer to the hobby, don’t play the game, I just like the lore. Like most people I’ve been upping my 40k eduction with Leutin09 videos.
    What I was never able to grasp was the setting, “today.” I was always wondering if the players in the 80s and 90s also had the fall of Cadia and the great rift as a backstory, or if that was new. And where Eisenhorn/Gaunt (the two series I’ve read so far) fit into the equation.
    This pulls it all together, again, thanks!
    (Now who is this damn Silent King dude…)

    I am amazed, again, how you can just bind me to intensely listening to your explanaitions of so many layered story elements for 30 Minutes and I feel intellectually fed and stimulated and at the same time I have an inkling more understanding of this vast 40k universe. Thank you!
    So one question, I am a little new to this (only 16 books in, 9 Ciaphas Cain and the rest your recommendations) - this seems like several factions, emperor botherers, pragmatists and eldar alike side to fight Chaos - is this a trend that continues e.g. with Indomitus or is every alliance connection severed as soon as the story has no more use from it?
    Just seeing it from the perspective this grim dark thing with no hope is just a phase 🫣
    And what book series would you recommend to be able to catch up the the „latest“ developments, so I can just get the new releases in the future?

    Cool. I wondered where all this had come from. I last played in 2nd edition and then suddenly when I looked up there was a whole load of new fluff.

    This was like 40k’s all-star game, pretty much every main character in their universe
