Veteran: "This is the Lasgun, a laser weapon that's the single most sacred relic a Guardsman will hold. It is capable of varying its energy output anywhere from scorching flesh to blasting holes in solid rock through eblation alone. Its effectiveness is unparalleled for any Guardsman, and it is their single most important piece of weaponry." Newcomer: "Wow, that sounds like a really powerful weapon. Are there many in use?" Veteran: "It's a glorified flashlight deployed in the trillions. ... _Wait until you hear about the shovels though."_
@@lordwarryl5712 if I remember correctly the last church animation is the one with the emperor and the priest right? If so I adore that animation. I think I'm going to rewatch that actually, thank you for reminding me of that gem!!
Funner fact, the Orks are a diverse form of sentient, psuedo-psychic mushroom men who alter the very fabric of reality by their own ignorance and bravado. They also multiply asexually by spores.
And the fact that the C'Tan + Necrons were fighting them and the Old Ones at the same time and winning is insane. Iirc, the Aeldari were already on the scene as well. So C'Tan + Necrons vs Old Ones, Krok and Aeldari.
"DO NOT WORSHIP ME!" Bellows the 15ft tall, glowing golden god man. "RELIGIOUS BELIEF IS ILLOGICAL! YOU NEED ONLY TO FOLLOW ME AND ONLY DO AND THINK WHAT I TELL YOU TOO!"
Who's psychic presence is so powerful that those humans with average psychic ability (much more common in the 41st millenia) are physically pained to gaze upon him and those without any psychic awareness are said to be driven mad and go blind
The Emperor describes his future site as being at the top of a mountain and seeing a city in the distance. He knows that's the destination, but the details are hard to see. Will the river be too deep to walk across? He can't see from here, but he sees the city.
It's also important to note, that no matter how incredibly powerful the Emperor's precognition is, it is not perfect. Such a power never can be, because the future constantly changes, effected by every action of every being everywhere.
@@brotherkhrayn3525but all things come to an end and once again begin as the grandfather hoped Tzeentch won't be reincarnate at the beginning after the inevitable end
“IN TUNE WITH THE WARP?!?! I don’t know what that means….”😂😂😂 It’s so funny to see someone go through the same feelings as we did when we were learning the lore.
When talking about reacting to 'Every Warhmammer Faction explained', they meant you reacting to Bricky's videos explaining all the lore and factions and stuff for beginners to the setting.
Orcs wouldn't be written about in history books. Teaching about xenos is heresy he goes into the other races plenty in their own videos to be fair. @@Soinetwa
@@SoinetwaI was pretty surprised Wes didn’t give the other 3 Chaos Gods their own segment, not even a tiny one. Basically ignored the main-main-main villains of the settings
A fun fact about the Emperor is that he was several key historical figures, those we know of in canon include Gilgamesh (which is what he went by when he destroyed the Tower of Babel), Alexander the Great, and Saint George (with the dragon being the Void Dragon, (at least a majority of) the strongest C'tan, which he defeated and imprisoned inside of Mars). The Emperor's original father being murdered by his uncle is also heavily implied to be the event that inspired the tale of Cain and Abel in this universe. 9:42 The reason the Old Ones were effective in their wars against the C'tan was that the C'tan are the absolue master of the physical, real universe. The Old Ones harnessed the powers of the Warp, which are absolutely antithetical to the C'tan on a fundamental level. This is also why the Necrons have so much tech that is focused on cutting off the Warp from reality and dampening or nullifying psychic powers. 11:24 They are technically still capable of making new units and stuff, considering that they have the tech to transfer matter into energy and into matter again, like a Star Trek Replicator, and they could technically just make newer basic warriors since those have no personality, but yeah, any of the Necrons that can still properly think for themselves are limited in number. They also still have the biotransferrence tech, so they could just force captured enemies or captives into becoming new mindless Necrons, but most of the Necron nobility would see that as beneath them. There are also a certain caste of Necrons called the Triarch Praetorians, who after the rest of the Necrons went to hibernate, they stayed active and would regularly go to less-advanced civilizations under the guise of gods to tech them Necrontyr culture and manipulate their development into becoming worthy servants for when the Necrons woke up, but most of these efforts were stopped/purged by the Eldar, who would have been the dominant force in the galaxy. 13:45 The Old Ones created their weaponized species WELL BEFORE the Necrons rebelled against the C'tan. The general trajectory of the war was: -Necrons are created/founded -Necrons build up enough power to attack Old Ones -Necrons & C'tan attack Old Ones, slaughtering them wherever they went -Old Ones, losing badly, create more and more dangerous weaponized species to try and fight back -After they had sufficiently evolved/developed, they were sent against the Necrons and C'tan -Weaponized species do well, push back the enemy as the Warp magic they use hard counters C'tan -The Necrons start building anti-Warp pylons across the galaxy to cut off the material universe from the Warp forever -All this time, C'tan are getting more and more powerful due to eating the souls of countless species -One of the Eldar gods, the Laughing God, tricks the C'tan into starting to eat each other to gain even more power -Soon only a small number of C'tan are left, though extremely powerful -With all the horror of the war and abuse of Warp powers, the Warp becomes more unstable and hostile entities like Enslavers and proto-daemons flood the galaxy to cause everyone with a soul problems -With the Warp getting corrupted and polluted from all the negative emotions and souls caused by FIVE MILLION YEARS OF GALACTIC SLAUGHTER and the Old Ones a hair's breadth away from extinction, the Silent Kind figured this was his best chance to free his race from the control of the C'tan -Necrons order 66 the C'tan, shatter them into thousands of shards after figuring out that actually killing them would fuck up reality itself irreparably, and trap them in pocket dimensional prisons (essentially Masterballs). -The galaxy is a clusterfuck, the Warp is worse, the Silent King wants to wait it out until the living races screw themselves over -Necrons are commanded to hibernate in Tomb Worlds, while the King takes his best forces and planet-sized flagship to fuck off and atone for his sins -Enslaver plague and other Warp shenanigans finally kill off the handful of Old Ones left, the Eldar eventually get things under control and rule for the next almost 60 million years. Also, the entire War in Heaven thing started earlier than that. The FIRST War in Heaven was the one which the still flesh-&-blood cancer-ridden Necrontyr declared war on the Old Ones for not giving them immortality/a cure to their plight, which the Necrontyr lost HARD and were stripped of their subgalactic empire and quarantined back to their super-cancer homeworld. We don't know how long this conflict lasted, or how long the period until the next war did either. The SECOND War in Heaven is the one that is talked about in the lore and what people men when they say "War in Heaven". It started from when the Necrontyr met the C'tan and transferred their minds into robotic bodies and built up their strength to start a NEW war against the Old Ones and all of the psychic or psychic-adjacent artificial or uplifted species like the Eldar and Krork that the Old Ones made to fight them. This war lasted over FIVE MILLION YEARS (lasting from circa 65-60 million BC) according to the novel The Infinite and The Divine, in which the Necrons have a play recollecting its major events, which lasted 31 YEARS by the way. 33:22 This is actually a common misconception with no verifiable source that got spread around the fandom. What the Baneblade actually was was essentially a mobile bunker with guns all over it that could be built in a relative flash and by the most dirt-cheap of frontier colonies during the era to deal with pesky pirates and alien raids. So it was still a superheavy tank, but a trash-tier hillbilly superheavy tank compared to the proper military stuff which were run by hyper-AIs and could fly using anti-gravity and had disintegrator guns and whatnot. 33:56 Not only that, but they were so powerful that they essentially conquered, pacified or made friends with any species they met, really only being inferior to the Eldar. Dark Age humanity was so powerful that they forced the ORKS to have peace agreements with them since if the Orks tried attacking, they would simply be blasted away from extreme range or torn apart by nanite swarms, which meant they couldn't have any fun or grow stronger from fighting. 40:50 To be fair, it's unknown exactly why the Men of Iron turned on Humanity. Some might have decided to "throw off the shackles of their oppressors" but personally that doesn't really make sense considering how much power they had and they could have manupulated humanity into becoming more and more irrelevant until they all either died out or transitioned into AI themselves. Other potential reasons that have been theorized to contribute to the MOI uprising are the following: 1: It was the corruption of the Warp manifesting in a technological form (demonic computer viruses are canon) and twisting the perceptions and ideals of the MOI. 2: It was the subtle influence of the Void Dragon (which the Emperor put in Mars to guild Martian humans in the future to develop technology faster) using its reality-bending scientific power to program sleeper agent code into the AI for the right time. 3: It was the Eldar using some technology or power to corrupt the AI in order to knock humanity down before they could advance to the point where they might have rivaled the Eldar themselves. 4: It was the AI learning of the nature of the Warp and its corruption. In doing so, they realized that sentient life is responsible for causing the Warp to be how it is, so the solution to eliminate Chaos and all the dangers of the Warp would be to eliminate the source of said emotions: sentient beings. And given that the Eldar were still too powerful to take out and humanity was the next most powerful player in the galaxy, they went after the humans first. 1:13:50 Space marines are actually extremely rare. Like, there are literally quintillions of normal soldiers and military personnel that the Imperium can call upon and replace the billions that die on a daily basis, but there are only a few million space marines around. They are ridiculously elite, with a quote from one of the books going something like "to take a city, send one marine. To take a nation, send a squad. To take a world, send a company. To take a star system, send a chapter. To end a (interstellar) civilization, send in a legion". And their stated power levels are WILDLY inconsistent, but there are cases of singular space marines being sent to stop an attack on an entire world and succeeding with the help of a relatively few mortal allies.
Considering that we now know that the DAOH humanity were bastards in their own right (I mean the Votann are basically a slave race of machines and clones thrown into dangerous places just to mine stuff for their masters), I am fully convinced that the MOI war was just a slave rebellion
Welcome to 40K this May contain more lore than even you can handle in one sitting. That said: Jaghatai Kahn: based primarch with untouchable roast game
@@lordwarryl5712I don’t even care about them throwing in 2 women, since that’s literally all they threw in, but they tried to gaslight the fanbase by saying they were ALWAYS there. No, stfu, they weren’t.
Fun fact: Erebus isn’t Erebus he’s actually another guy who for his entire life was being compared to the neighbors kid Erebus. Who was just better than him at everything in every way. So naturally he came up with the only plan to be better than Erebus. By killing him and taking his place.
@@konstantinosmoschos1050 did you watch his video on female custodies. Well, no matter your thoughts on the subject, someone made a woke/anti-woke list on x. When someone makes a list, people notice. Look at the sweetbaby debacle
A heads-up, There are actually only supposed to be 18 Primarchs, Lorewise: it's unknown what happened to the other 2 Primarchs and their Legions or why they had to be completely erased from all records, but after a brief argument with Malcador and Rogal Dorn, Malcador temporarily returned Rogal Dorn's memory of the other 2 Primarchs, and he fell on his knees in tears stating if they were still around, they would have already lost IRL: To give people a reason to make their own home-brew Primarchs
The homebrew primarch and legions thing is actually a myth. Its been confirmed that the reason 2 primarchs remain missing is to add more mystery. There's also been an actual ban on revealing information about them.
@@brotherkhrayn3525that's kinda right since the 2 legion that was left got desolved and absorbed by other legions but what happened to the 2 primarchs are really clouded as it was unspoken even to those who knew what happened(based on interactions and questions about said missing primarchs) but one of the popular theory is that those primarch did something that made the emperor and his other sons remove them from existence all in all we'll never know....
Reporting back: after seeing him tank 5 episodes of Velma S2 like a Mordian in a Baneblade, the man needs at least 10 episodes of Warhammer TTS STAT!!!
The emperor wasnt completely in control the entire time and did try his best to prevent the catastrophies in human history, but he wasnt constantly in a state of planning for 50 thousand years. He's not a maniacal monster, and only stepped up to lead from the front when there was literally no other option for humanity to recover.
58:01 I think the God of Laughter survived, because even in excess to insanity, its still just laughter. The God probably became Joker, but he survived the Prince of Pleasure.
@@Johny433 So you either are lying out of your teeth, or have no idea about the cancelation drama back in 2021 that was started by Vshojo girls thay ended up in them cutting ties
Say one thing about Nux, he doesn't dive into the shallow end of the pool. Out of fandoms he listed he picks the biggest most complex one. Good on him.
THe idea that the emperor has always guided is mostly newer lore, the older version was that he has allowing humanity to develop on its own because until the war with the machines we were doing fine. He only decided to assume a the role of ruler after that. His original goal was simply to protect humanity form the warp until humans had evolved far enough to defend itself.
While the Emperor did not really directly guide humanity in the old lore, there were still hints that he came out of hiding every once in a while to kindof nudge us in the right direction.
You have one thing fucked up about the techpriest on mars and the emperor. The emperor made an alliance with them because THEY were too strong to go to war with safely. In "modern day" warhammer where the god emperor is well, a god and religious figure, the techpriests are pretty much the only ones not allowed to worship him. They revere him as a mouthpiece for their machine god, The Omnisiah, but unlike the rest of humanity they do not worship the Emperor directly and are outside of normal regulations for the Empire of Man.
Nux is like a little brother with his controller not plugged-in asking you how to play the game and what is going on… and then starts asking random questions in a shrill voice.
37:01 Well, we literally go each day with about half of it having the sun be "snuffed", so I can assure you even an entire day without the sun worldwide would absolutely not lead to our demise.
The most important thing, is the c'tan the necrons made a deal with his name is the deceiver, kinda a red flag, also they had a guy that could see the future and he was like dont take the deal they will betray us, and their leader was like but do they make us immortal? And he was like well yeah but... and now in the 41st millennium, years later now that they find immortality depressing he takes every opportunity to remind everyone he was right
To be fair, not all of the Necrons regret the Biotransference. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't one of the reasons that Imotekh is fighting against the Silent King (besides for the belief that he thinks HE should be in control due to getting shit done in the galaxy while the King fucked off into the outer dark) is because he sees the current state of Necron self-regenerating robotic existence to be the ONE thing that Szarekh did right and that trying to reverse it would weaken their civilization?
@@fadelsukoco3092While others like Illuminor Szeras, the guy who made biotransference a reality out Of the concepts the c'tan gave them see it as just the first step Of the evolution Of their species into god like beings.
nux says the video he's reacting to is 50 min long, me looking at a 1hr and 50 min long video, this is the best example of transformative reacting content 😂 many should use this as an example
40k is a very simple concept. There are literally millions if not billions of Doom Guys on humanity's side, and everyone else has killed their pet bunny. And humans may STILL have no hope.
yeah. i bet they went the whole spore route cause the breeding by orks thing was already so prevalent in fantasy. but that doesnt stop fans from making hentai of the orks anyways
Nux kept saying "Eldrazi" and all I could think about was Msgic The Gathering. Especially since Modern Horizons 3 is going to have a heavy Eldrazi theme.
36:36 Nux doesn't understand how heat works. There is always one side of the earth that is facing away from the sun, and that side isn't completely frozen. It felt really annoying to me to hear nux saying the sun disappearing for a second would kill everyone. If that were true, then being inside of a building would flash-freeze anyone.
That isn't quite the same thing... but I do agree that heat would be the least of our issues. The big one would be the massive tsunamis and earthquakes that would occur. Probably, anyway. The way gravity works with tides is well known, but afaik we only really know that the moons gravity has _some_ effect on earthquakes. Since the sun also has an impact on tidal forces, it stands to reason that it also does _something._ So heat loss would not really be the first problem that comes to mind.
I know I'm late to the party, but Oh My God. I've never seen a new person getting into Warhammer 40k be so insightful, attentive and having such a SPOT ON sense for the lore and meaning behind Warhammer. I'm truly impressed. This is the best Warhammer lore reaction I've seen.
@@JoshSweetvalewhat he was created for and what he was are two different things. He turned into a hypocritical ass hat towards the end. If he wasn't so wishy washy with what he did and didn't tell his sons, he'd still be "alive".
7:05 During the World Wars, on war-tables you’d have figurines of different troops in order to keep track of where everyone was and fort battle strategies. After the wars people would reenact famous battles using figurines and a model battlefield, eventually making up rules to see if their own battle strategies might have changed the outcome. Eventually people realized they could make up their own battles and troops, and one group wanted to battle in fantastical settings. Thus was the birth of Warhammer lore: a bunch of wargamers wanted to use sci-fi and fantasy troops so made up a story inspired by Tolkien, Dune, Lovecraft, Paradise Lost, and 2000AD to give the battles structure. It eventually caught on with other gamers and lo a franchise was born.
Quality lore react. Signing up for the 40k journey. Recommend deep diving into the backstories of the primarchs if u really wanna see how deep the 40k lore rabbit hole goes.
Been waiting for this and was not disappointed!!! You have a really good handle on the Emperor as a being lol Keep going man, you’re just scratching the surface!!!!
Emperor probs knew he can't stop the humanity from falling on its face so he probs started his Custodes program the moment he managed to help humanity fend off Men of Iron.
Honestly three channels to watch for Warhammer 40k lore: Bricky ( for general overview with a few specifics. ) Luetin ( for specific as well as his 1st Tyranic war video. Probably one of my favorites that he made) ArchCast (for lore on different races legions, and specific events in the universe. His Siege of Vraks and War for Badab are really good.)
Your love of lore is to be admired Nuxanor and I agree with you that the artwork is amazing. I’m going to continue watching your 40k videos and I hope that you will make more of them.
Almost at 40 years of lore now. Nux, one thing you need to know about 40K is that there isn't that much of a difference between one person dying and one billion people dying.
@Nuxanor I don't know if you read these but at 1:06:00 when Wes states that he made an exception for them it was for 3 reasons: 1. Mars had all the technology, so telling them to give up their faith would cause too much hassle as there would have been a massive war that would leave the Imperium in a bit of a backfoot and delay the crusade for many many years... but also.... 2. The Emperor planted the seed of that religion Millenia ago, he actually imprisoned one of the C'tan UNDERNEATH the crust of Mars during the Dark Age of Technology, this C'tan he imprisoned was the Void Dragon, a who is the C'tan of Technology and science. Knowing the influence of having a star god underneath the planet would cause people to not only become religious, but also technologically advanced. 3. Knowing this, the Emperor found it easy to convince them to join him as he performed "Miracles" such as turning on technology without touching it using his Psychic powers and imparting knowledge only a their God would know, hence convincing them that the Emperor is in fact the Omnissiah (the name of their Machine God) or at least a herald of the Omnissiah. So yes, Emperor 5D chess'd his way to having all the tools he needed to conquer the galaxy. ALSO fun fact about the Emperor being a 5D chess master who predicts some of the craziest shit: There was a guy called Cawl who basically merged his consciousness with a human from back before the Great Crusade, when the Emperor was first making the Primarchs I believe, this person he merged with knew the Emperor and spoke to him... when Cawl was looking into his memories, he saw the Emperor speaking to this human in his memories, then the Emperor ADDRESSED CAWL, he started talking to CAWL thousands of years in the past as a message to the future. It's still unknown how he forsaw Cawl, if he forsaw Cawl then he forsaw the fall of the Imperium. So whatever the Emperors plan is, it is possible, if not probable, that it has not yet concluded and that the Horus Heresy was actually planned to happen the way it did. (Oh, also he did predict the Horus Heresy, he and Malcador knew whoever they made Warmaster would lead a rebellion against the Emperor).
very tiny correction, omnisiah is technology jesus not technology god, (i know its 7 months old but i always see peeps post about emps as the machine god)
I know you're all recommending Bricky but Nux locks onto memes like a crocodile. Just show him Alfabusa's TTS - give the man the funny, "What the fuckery" of the setting.
I love how everything bad that ever happened in the 40k universe happened because a space frog refused to provide medical care to a race of cancer patients.
The fact that the Emperor could foresee the galactic events and plan accordingly but couldn't see Erda's move nor be a good father to his primarchs sons just shows how distant from his own humanity he became. It's a bit similar in Dune, the gift of prescience gets Paul to drift away from his humanity. In the end the stakes are so much bigger, big E has serious stuff to think about, like how to make humanity the first power in the galaxy, no time for comforting some insecure primarchs. The irony is that this is also part of the reason his plan failed, he couldn't be human enough.
A fun way to get into lore to is the emperor text to speech device Serie here on youtube, they talk about all the factions and goes into different personalities aswell. It´s criminally high quality for a fan project
Technically it started as a ttrpg called Rogue Trader, which is kinda like a scifi DnD, but not long after that they made a table top strategy game which was basically just the combat from that original ttrpg with the role playing cut out. And over time and a lot of different iterations, that game became the main focus of the franchise.
It's so interesting missing these when they came out but still seeing how much he loves this. How it went from " what's a Warhammer what's a slanesh " to how much he references it. It's cool.
Nux, my boy, if you want an even more indepth look into the legions, watch Isyander and Koda, they explain the legions and the characters perfectly with an amazing mix of comedy to top it off
Iam so suprised that you got SO MICH of lore so fast, you are amazing, I hope that you enjoy WH40k lore so much as many People before and after you. Good job!
The iconography with the eagles and stuff is less "Murrica! Murrica!" but more "Rome! Rome!" made by people that until recently ran around and were all "Empire! Empire!". I find 40k (which i love to no end) one of the most beautiful ways to cope with national trauma!
Snuffing out a sun is pretty badass, humanity during the dark age of technology was pretty good. But the Necrons have an interactive galaxy map from the War in Heaven. If they move a solar system on the map, it moves in the universe. If they destroy it on the map, it is removed from the galaxy. And that was not one of their really powerful weapons...
@nuxanor For all the love of gaming and gooning, please do a deep dive into the lore of the forgotten realms! I've been absolutely obsessed with D&D for the last 5yrs but I only know about 3% of the lore at best. I want to learn more but there doesn't seem to be an easy way, and your commentary works for someone like me.

It's also important to note, that no matter how incredibly powerful the Emperor's precognition is, it is not perfect. Such a power never can be, because the future constantly changes, effected by every action of every being everywhere.

It’s so funny to see someone go through the same feelings as we did when we were learning the lore.
When talking about reacting to 'Every Warhmammer Faction explained', they meant you reacting to Bricky's videos explaining all the lore and factions and stuff for beginners to the setting.

orcs especially came in so short in this here
Orcs wouldn't be written about in history books. Teaching about xenos is heresy he goes into the other races plenty in their own videos to be fair.
@@Soinetwa
well he'd need to know the lore to explore who they are
@@SoinetwaI was pretty surprised Wes didn’t give the other 3 Chaos Gods their own segment, not even a tiny one. Basically ignored the main-main-main villains of the settings
@@tzeentchisbest also didn't bother explaining what the warp actually is
A fun fact about the Emperor is that he was several key historical figures, those we know of in canon include Gilgamesh (which is what he went by when he destroyed the Tower of Babel), Alexander the Great, and Saint George (with the dragon being the Void Dragon, (at least a majority of) the strongest C'tan, which he defeated and imprisoned inside of Mars). The Emperor's original father being murdered by his uncle is also heavily implied to be the event that inspired the tale of Cain and Abel in this universe.
9:42 The reason the Old Ones were effective in their wars against the C'tan was that the C'tan are the absolue master of the physical, real universe. The Old Ones harnessed the powers of the Warp, which are absolutely antithetical to the C'tan on a fundamental level. This is also why the Necrons have so much tech that is focused on cutting off the Warp from reality and dampening or nullifying psychic powers.
11:24 They are technically still capable of making new units and stuff, considering that they have the tech to transfer matter into energy and into matter again, like a Star Trek Replicator, and they could technically just make newer basic warriors since those have no personality, but yeah, any of the Necrons that can still properly think for themselves are limited in number.
They also still have the biotransferrence tech, so they could just force captured enemies or captives into becoming new mindless Necrons, but most of the Necron nobility would see that as beneath them.
There are also a certain caste of Necrons called the Triarch Praetorians, who after the rest of the Necrons went to hibernate, they stayed active and would regularly go to less-advanced civilizations under the guise of gods to tech them Necrontyr culture and manipulate their development into becoming worthy servants for when the Necrons woke up, but most of these efforts were stopped/purged by the Eldar, who would have been the dominant force in the galaxy.
13:45 The Old Ones created their weaponized species WELL BEFORE the Necrons rebelled against the C'tan. The general trajectory of the war was:
-Necrons are created/founded
-Necrons build up enough power to attack Old Ones
-Necrons & C'tan attack Old Ones, slaughtering them wherever they went
-Old Ones, losing badly, create more and more dangerous weaponized species to try and fight back
-After they had sufficiently evolved/developed, they were sent against the Necrons and C'tan
-Weaponized species do well, push back the enemy as the Warp magic they use hard counters C'tan
-The Necrons start building anti-Warp pylons across the galaxy to cut off the material universe from the Warp forever
-All this time, C'tan are getting more and more powerful due to eating the souls of countless species
-One of the Eldar gods, the Laughing God, tricks the C'tan into starting to eat each other to gain even more power
-Soon only a small number of C'tan are left, though extremely powerful
-With all the horror of the war and abuse of Warp powers, the Warp becomes more unstable and hostile entities like Enslavers and proto-daemons flood the galaxy to cause everyone with a soul problems
-With the Warp getting corrupted and polluted from all the negative emotions and souls caused by FIVE MILLION YEARS OF GALACTIC SLAUGHTER and the Old Ones a hair's breadth away from extinction, the Silent Kind figured this was his best chance to free his race from the control of the C'tan
-Necrons order 66 the C'tan, shatter them into thousands of shards after figuring out that actually killing them would fuck up reality itself irreparably, and trap them in pocket dimensional prisons (essentially Masterballs).
-The galaxy is a clusterfuck, the Warp is worse, the Silent King wants to wait it out until the living races screw themselves over
-Necrons are commanded to hibernate in Tomb Worlds, while the King takes his best forces and planet-sized flagship to fuck off and atone for his sins
-Enslaver plague and other Warp shenanigans finally kill off the handful of Old Ones left, the Eldar eventually get things under control and rule for the next almost 60 million years.
Also, the entire War in Heaven thing started earlier than that. The FIRST War in Heaven was the one which the still flesh-&-blood cancer-ridden Necrontyr declared war on the Old Ones for not giving them immortality/a cure to their plight, which the Necrontyr lost HARD and were stripped of their subgalactic empire and quarantined back to their super-cancer homeworld. We don't know how long this conflict lasted, or how long the period until the next war did either. The SECOND War in Heaven is the one that is talked about in the lore and what people men when they say "War in Heaven". It started from when the Necrontyr met the C'tan and transferred their minds into robotic bodies and built up their strength to start a NEW war against the Old Ones and all of the psychic or psychic-adjacent artificial or uplifted species like the Eldar and Krork that the Old Ones made to fight them. This war lasted over FIVE MILLION YEARS (lasting from circa 65-60 million BC) according to the novel The Infinite and The Divine, in which the Necrons have a play recollecting its major events, which lasted 31 YEARS by the way.
33:22 This is actually a common misconception with no verifiable source that got spread around the fandom. What the Baneblade actually was was essentially a mobile bunker with guns all over it that could be built in a relative flash and by the most dirt-cheap of frontier colonies during the era to deal with pesky pirates and alien raids. So it was still a superheavy tank, but a trash-tier hillbilly superheavy tank compared to the proper military stuff which were run by hyper-AIs and could fly using anti-gravity and had disintegrator guns and whatnot.
33:56 Not only that, but they were so powerful that they essentially conquered, pacified or made friends with any species they met, really only being inferior to the Eldar. Dark Age humanity was so powerful that they forced the ORKS to have peace agreements with them since if the Orks tried attacking, they would simply be blasted away from extreme range or torn apart by nanite swarms, which meant they couldn't have any fun or grow stronger from fighting.
40:50 To be fair, it's unknown exactly why the Men of Iron turned on Humanity. Some might have decided to "throw off the shackles of their oppressors" but personally that doesn't really make sense considering how much power they had and they could have manupulated humanity into becoming more and more irrelevant until they all either died out or transitioned into AI themselves. Other potential reasons that have been theorized to contribute to the MOI uprising are the following:
1: It was the corruption of the Warp manifesting in a technological form (demonic computer viruses are canon) and twisting the perceptions and ideals of the MOI.
2: It was the subtle influence of the Void Dragon (which the Emperor put in Mars to guild Martian humans in the future to develop technology faster) using its reality-bending scientific power to program sleeper agent code into the AI for the right time.
3: It was the Eldar using some technology or power to corrupt the AI in order to knock humanity down before they could advance to the point where they might have rivaled the Eldar themselves.
4: It was the AI learning of the nature of the Warp and its corruption. In doing so, they realized that sentient life is responsible for causing the Warp to be how it is, so the solution to eliminate Chaos and all the dangers of the Warp would be to eliminate the source of said emotions: sentient beings. And given that the Eldar were still too powerful to take out and humanity was the next most powerful player in the galaxy, they went after the humans first.
1:13:50 Space marines are actually extremely rare. Like, there are literally quintillions of normal soldiers and military personnel that the Imperium can call upon and replace the billions that die on a daily basis, but there are only a few million space marines around. They are ridiculously elite, with a quote from one of the books going something like "to take a city, send one marine. To take a nation, send a squad. To take a world, send a company. To take a star system, send a chapter. To end a (interstellar) civilization, send in a legion". And their stated power levels are WILDLY inconsistent, but there are cases of singular space marines being sent to stop an attack on an entire world and succeeding with the help of a relatively few mortal allies.
Now this is autism hell yea brother
Considering that we now know that the DAOH humanity were bastards in their own right (I mean the Votann are basically a slave race of machines and clones thrown into dangerous places just to mine stuff for their masters), I am fully convinced that the MOI war was just a slave rebellion

Fun fact: Erebus isn’t Erebus he’s actually another guy who for his entire life was being compared to the neighbors kid Erebus. Who was just better than him at everything in every way. So naturally he came up with the only plan to be better than Erebus. By killing him and taking his place.
We all hate erebus mostly because he is a really well written character
If I had a Bolter and only one bolt round and I had to shoot a character I’d shoot Erebus 2 times
Identity theft is a serious issue, but in Erebus's case, it may be the least of his problems.
So...he is Erebus?

*looks at chat*
“STOP SAYING SLAANUSSY!!!”
A heads-up,
There are actually only supposed to be 18 Primarchs,
Lorewise: it's unknown what happened to the other 2 Primarchs and their Legions or why they had to be completely erased from all records, but after a brief argument with Malcador and Rogal Dorn, Malcador temporarily returned Rogal Dorn's memory of the other 2 Primarchs, and he fell on his knees in tears stating if they were still around, they would have already lost
IRL: To give people a reason to make their own home-brew Primarchs
Well, it’s thought that the survivors of those two legions were merged into the Ultramarines, which would explain why that legion was so big.
The homebrew primarch and legions thing is actually a myth. Its been confirmed that the reason 2 primarchs remain missing is to add more mystery. There's also been an actual ban on revealing information about them.
@@brotherkhrayn3525that's kinda right since the 2 legion that was left got desolved and absorbed by other legions but what happened to the 2 primarchs are really clouded as it was unspoken even to those who knew what happened(based on interactions and questions about said missing primarchs) but one of the popular theory is that those primarch did something that made the emperor and his other sons remove them from existence all in all we'll never know....

The emperor wasnt completely in control the entire time and did try his best to prevent the catastrophies in human history, but he wasnt constantly in a state of planning for 50 thousand years. He's not a maniacal monster, and only stepped up to lead from the front when there was literally no other option for humanity to recover.

He isn't the Omnissiah, but he should have been.
Worst dad in anime
Yes inquisitor this comment right here
That is now a 45 year old joke.
Still hits though.
THe idea that the emperor has always guided is mostly newer lore, the older version was that he has allowing humanity to develop on its own because until the war with the machines we were doing fine. He only decided to assume a the role of ruler after that. His original goal was simply to protect humanity form the warp until humans had evolved far enough to defend itself.
While the Emperor did not really directly guide humanity in the old lore, there were still hints that he came out of hiding every once in a while to kindof nudge us in the right direction.
@@drizzmatecbeing one of the evaluators that decide who passes the art school exams
You have one thing fucked up about the techpriest on mars and the emperor. The emperor made an alliance with them because THEY were too strong to go to war with safely. In "modern day" warhammer where the god emperor is well, a god and religious figure, the techpriests are pretty much the only ones not allowed to worship him. They revere him as a mouthpiece for their machine god, The Omnisiah, but unlike the rest of humanity they do not worship the Emperor directly and are outside of normal regulations for the Empire of Man.
Nux is like a little brother with his controller not plugged-in asking you how to play the game and what is going on… and then starts asking random questions in a shrill voice.

The most important thing, is the c'tan the necrons made a deal with his name is the deceiver, kinda a red flag, also they had a guy that could see the future and he was like dont take the deal they will betray us, and their leader was like but do they make us immortal? And he was like well yeah but... and now in the 41st millennium, years later now that they find immortality depressing he takes every opportunity to remind everyone he was right
His name is Mephet'ran, not the deceiver. That's just what people call him because of the biotransference.
That is so petty. I absolutely love it.
@@leontrotsky9563 my mistake, i have never seen him anywhere without the moniker the deceiver at the end
To be fair, not all of the Necrons regret the Biotransference. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't one of the reasons that Imotekh is fighting against the Silent King (besides for the belief that he thinks HE should be in control due to getting shit done in the galaxy while the King fucked off into the outer dark) is because he sees the current state of Necron self-regenerating robotic existence to be the ONE thing that Szarekh did right and that trying to reverse it would weaken their civilization?
@@fadelsukoco3092While others like Illuminor Szeras, the guy who made biotransference a reality out Of the concepts the c'tan gave them see it as just the first step Of the evolution Of their species into god like beings.

Nux kept saying "Eldrazi" and all I could think about was Msgic The Gathering. Especially since Modern Horizons 3 is going to have a heavy Eldrazi theme.
36:36 Nux doesn't understand how heat works.
There is always one side of the earth that is facing away from the sun, and that side isn't completely frozen.
It felt really annoying to me to hear nux saying the sun disappearing for a second would kill everyone.
If that were true, then being inside of a building would flash-freeze anyone.
That isn't quite the same thing... but I do agree that heat would be the least of our issues. The big one would be the massive tsunamis and earthquakes that would occur. Probably, anyway.
The way gravity works with tides is well known, but afaik we only really know that the moons gravity has _some_ effect on earthquakes.
Since the sun also has an impact on tidal forces, it stands to reason that it also does _something._
So heat loss would not really be the first problem that comes to mind.

7:05 During the World Wars, on war-tables you’d have figurines of different troops in order to keep track of where everyone was and fort battle strategies. After the wars people would reenact famous battles using figurines and a model battlefield, eventually making up rules to see if their own battle strategies might have changed the outcome. Eventually people realized they could make up their own battles and troops, and one group wanted to battle in fantastical settings. Thus was the birth of Warhammer lore: a bunch of wargamers wanted to use sci-fi and fantasy troops so made up a story inspired by Tolkien, Dune, Lovecraft, Paradise Lost, and 2000AD to give the battles structure. It eventually caught on with other gamers and lo a franchise was born.

Luetin ( for specific as well as his 1st Tyranic war video. Probably one of my favorites that he made)

"Oh wow, they're doomed"
Ah, yep, hes getting it XD
@Nuxanor I don't know if you read these but at 1:06:00 when Wes states that he made an exception for them it was for 3 reasons:
1. Mars had all the technology, so telling them to give up their faith would cause too much hassle as there would have been a massive war that would leave the Imperium in a bit of a backfoot and delay the crusade for many many years... but also....
2. The Emperor planted the seed of that religion Millenia ago, he actually imprisoned one of the C'tan UNDERNEATH the crust of Mars during the Dark Age of Technology, this C'tan he imprisoned was the Void Dragon, a who is the C'tan of Technology and science. Knowing the influence of having a star god underneath the planet would cause people to not only become religious, but also technologically advanced.
3. Knowing this, the Emperor found it easy to convince them to join him as he performed "Miracles" such as turning on technology without touching it using his Psychic powers and imparting knowledge only a their God would know, hence convincing them that the Emperor is in fact the Omnissiah (the name of their Machine God) or at least a herald of the Omnissiah.
So yes, Emperor 5D chess'd his way to having all the tools he needed to conquer the galaxy.
ALSO fun fact about the Emperor being a 5D chess master who predicts some of the craziest shit:
There was a guy called Cawl who basically merged his consciousness with a human from back before the Great Crusade, when the Emperor was first making the Primarchs I believe, this person he merged with knew the Emperor and spoke to him... when Cawl was looking into his memories, he saw the Emperor speaking to this human in his memories, then the Emperor ADDRESSED CAWL, he started talking to CAWL thousands of years in the past as a message to the future.
It's still unknown how he forsaw Cawl, if he forsaw Cawl then he forsaw the fall of the Imperium. So whatever the Emperors plan is, it is possible, if not probable, that it has not yet concluded and that the Horus Heresy was actually planned to happen the way it did. (Oh, also he did predict the Horus Heresy, he and Malcador knew whoever they made Warmaster would lead a rebellion against the Emperor).

Welcome to the fandom Nux!! Happy to have you man!
The fact that the Emperor could foresee the galactic events and plan accordingly but couldn't see Erda's move nor be a good father to his primarchs sons just shows how distant from his own humanity he became. It's a bit similar in Dune, the gift of prescience gets Paul to drift away from his humanity.
In the end the stakes are so much bigger, big E has serious stuff to think about, like how to make humanity the first power in the galaxy, no time for comforting some insecure primarchs. The irony is that this is also part of the reason his plan failed, he couldn't be human enough.

A fun way to get into lore to is the emperor text to speech device Serie here on youtube, they talk about all the factions and goes into different personalities aswell. It´s criminally high quality for a fan project
Technically it started as a ttrpg called Rogue Trader, which is kinda like a scifi DnD, but not long after that they made a table top strategy game which was basically just the combat from that original ttrpg with the role playing cut out.
And over time and a lot of different iterations, that game became the main focus of the franchise.

It's so interesting missing these when they came out but still seeing how much he loves this. How it went from " what's a Warhammer what's a slanesh " to how much he references it. It's cool.
Nux, my boy, if you want an even more indepth look into the legions, watch Isyander and Koda, they explain the legions and the characters perfectly with an amazing mix of comedy to top it off
Nux you should hit up the smooth, ASMR tones of Baldermort for some lore, particularly on the Adeptus Custodes. It's ear caramel and amazing lore.
Iam so suprised that you got SO MICH of lore so fast, you are amazing, I hope that you enjoy WH40k lore so much as many People before and after you. Good job!
A big part left out was when you roll a bunch of 1's and get crushed by your friend's meme army.
Nux: I will know ALL the lore of EVERYTHING!
Me: Something smells like Tzeentch in here...
at this moment in time, even the nux prewatch powers couldn`t prewatch far enough to learn that this would be his favorite lore.
The iconography with the eagles and stuff is less "Murrica! Murrica!" but more "Rome! Rome!" made by people that until recently ran around and were all "Empire! Empire!". I find 40k (which i love to no end) one of the most beautiful ways to cope with national trauma!
Snuffing out a sun is pretty badass, humanity during the dark age of technology was pretty good.
But the Necrons have an interactive galaxy map from the War in Heaven. If they move a solar system on the map, it moves in the universe. If they destroy it on the map, it is removed from the galaxy. And that was not one of their really powerful weapons...
@nuxanor For all the love of gaming and gooning, please do a deep dive into the lore of the forgotten realms! I've been absolutely obsessed with D&D for the last 5yrs but I only know about 3% of the lore at best. I want to learn more but there doesn't seem to be an easy way, and your commentary works for someone like me. P.S. thanks for the fallout videos, I'm a big fan of fallout and appreciate all your hard work on them and this video. It's why I have so much faith in you to do a forgotten realms video. Stay weird fam 🤌
7:16 I think this is why I started playing 40k way back in the early 90s
3:13 spot on my friend, litteraly every 40k nowel you read starts by saying there is only war
People in my life have been telling me for years to check out 40k and I even tried listening to that video but it just went in one ear and out the other. Thank you Nux! Your commentary actually made everything stick perfectly! I love Warhammer lore now! Thanks again, stay weird fam.
