I remember one story where a bunch of Tech Priest actually came across a functional AI from the dark age of technology and is basically ended up mocking them for their lack of real understanding of anything. And their solution was “Oh no! It’s machine spirit is mad! Let’s light some incense and rub it down with holy oils and pray to it!” All the while the AI is trying to help them
To be fair, i guess the hate for AI came from that whole Dark Age where the machines rose against humanity and nearly destroyed till space hitler showed up
I don't know, the Inquisition could give them a run for their money in both departments. Both factions are fanatical, and have terrifying agents. (ballancing the assasinorum against the skitari and other soldiers in frightfulness.
Lord Admiral Spire they seek knowledge and understanding, it’s their most basic component of the faction. They all have human ambition and drive, and a constant drive to learn and understand it all. They send fleets of ships into the unknown for knowledge, in fact your position of power is based on what you know, the quest for knowledge is what every Techpriest strives for. This knowledge has made them a force to be reckoned, and without them humanity itself will fail.
@Lord Admiral Spire there have been many people throughout history who searched desperately for the key to eternal life, or other forms of transcendence, think Ponce de Leon and the fountain of youth, so in that respect, they are still somewhat human/relatable, in addition to their faith/piety and endless quest for knowledge.
@Lord Admiral Spire As an engineering student, I can relate to the Mechanicus immensely. Knowing that there is a huge amount of knowledge out there, and wanting to fully grasp more than you can. Striving to live up to the deeds of the great scientists and engineers that came before you. Not knowing how everything works, but needing it to make other things work. And most importantly, praying to your code to appease it, so that it is not angry at you and compiles without any errors.

The thing is, I can actually get behind this. What's the first thing, People do if something isn't working? Turn it off, wait a few Seconds, turn it on again and hope it works. Or consult the Manual and do everything exactly like it says in the Book and hope it solves your problem. Now transfer that to a Community of People, who forgot how a Hydroponics Bay or Oxygen-Generator works but have to repair it or built a new one. They recite every Step in the Manual and hope, it works; until a few hundred Years later, no one refers to the Manual as such but instead call it a holy Text how to appease the Machine Spirit of the Hydroponics Bay.

Two corrections. The STCs currently in the possession of the Mechanicus aren't "print outs", they are holographic blueprints. Titans are *not* STC, the Mechanicus knows how to build them without blueprints. They reason they don't just flood battlefields with them is that Titans are walking temples to the machine god

@@Tacoguy1000, you are correct. The Mechanicus sees them as gigantic religious icons, so ot takes too long to build them in great numbers, similarly to Emperor Class Battleships
There would be no Imperium without them. Everything from ammos, to spaceships, and weapons... We would be fighting with sticks without them... The Omnissiah is the true Emperor.
VirtueOfTheLessBrilliant Ironic given how your very worship of the Emperor of Mankind would be an offense of the highest order to him were he able to tell you so.
The God Emperor was able to fix machines with just a touch, and declared the Omnissiah. Reminds me of the IT guy that can fix your computer just by entering your office and suddenly the problem is gone... The God Emperor is an IT guy. brb... going to add Omnissiah to my business card...
Where can I find this IT guy? More than often, I end up asking... "just give me the super user clearance!!" and I have to perform ritual to please the mechine god. 😡
Makes me think the Emperer simply repaired it like an actual engineer and this part of the tale was turned into divine power rather than simply tech knowledge (he's the Tony Stark-esque genius behind the Space Marines), or he did fix it in a single touch, but a Psi touch, a Psi Spell that repaired the machine sorta like the D&D Magic Spell Mending, know one on Mars knew the parapsychological resonance the Emperer drew from to cast the Psi Spell, so early Machine Priests were hugely enamoured, not knowing the Psi behind the machine's instant mending.
The Mechanicus most closely resembles a Medieval Religious Guild. Deeply and jealously guarding their secrets yet still attempting to perform their works for God and Glory.
I love that the Adeptus Mechanicus are basically one of the few people in the Imperium that can give the metal middle finger to both the ecclesiarchy and inquisition and they both can’t do anything about them, since its hard to conduct exterminatus when the only people who know how to operate weapons decided to jump ship and leave them on there own to figure it out themselves.
It reminds me of how often theocracies, corrupt dictatorships, and backwater feudal states, will put up with just about anything from the state IT department, or how much shit America lets the defense contractors and the Military Industrial Complex get away with. Oh my goodness. The AdMech are literally just a fuckin defense contractor and IT department as far as the Imperium's concerned, aren't they?
You forgot to mention that the cult formed out of reverence for engineers after the life support systems went offline due to being cut off from the warp.

This being the Warhammer 40k universe, it's not surprising that there would be confusions and conflations about STCs. But there are 3 forms in which STCs exist: 1. The first is a construction template, akin to a blueprint in digital format, which also includes various details about the type of metals and power sources need to craft an item. Although rare, they are the most common and can be found on various industrial worlds, research worlds, and all forge worlds. 2. The second type is a constructor forge, akin to a building-sized 3-d printer which also houses several unique production patterns of items. These are very rare, perhaps a few dozen in the entire galaxy and kept a tight secret. These often come with a warehouse exit, where people can find exotic weapons somehow appear by miracle when danger is close by. 3. The final one is a complete STC database, along with its constructor forges and a dedicated AI to manage production and requests. Few examples remain, all of them on board a few Ark Mechanicus battleships, not only forgotten but also paranoid of being discovered, thus the AI erase the minds of those who might reveal them. Beside the human STCs, there are also Eldar, Dark Eldar and Necron models of STCs, containing caches of exotic weapons and whatnot, in the 3 forms stated above. Much like humanity, these races do not conduct research or develop new tech, but merely dig through the ruins of their ancestors for bits of knowledge or ancient weaponry. The Chaos Forges also contain such STCs, in various degrees of daemonic infestation, or even fully powered by caged Greater Daemons being drained of energy to produce new fleets and armies.
I know GW doesn't really play the long game (the endless ret-cons prove that) but wouldn't it be neat if this is how the Silent King forces the Imperium to team up with the Necrons to take on the Tyrnids? Wake up the Machine God/Void Dragon, get the Mechanicum onside and thereby force the Imperium to follow... That would get all the Imperium factions onside, plus the Necrons. The Tau could easily be persuaded (greater good blah blah) and even the Eldar and Orks could be brought along (Self preservation and "hey big ass fight this way"). Hell even Chaos might join up cause the Tyranids kinda do nasty things to them just by existing. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall of that meeting?
They're xenos, so that alone makes them despicable in the eyes of the Tech Priests. However, even the zealots of Mars know that Necrons are without question some of the most advanced factions out there. They could never replicate that tech though because even Eldar scientists are still confused about the insanity that is Necron tech.
Actually the Mechanicus has a bit of a heresy problem with the Necrons. Some factions view them as the ideal of merging with the machine and becoming closer to the machine god.
I'm saying that because the Dude described that the Adeptus Mechanicus saw "intelligence/sentience without soul" to be the most despicable thing. It that case, it was used to describe the concept of AI. But those words can also describe the Necrons, seeing as how they are living sentient machines yet they don't have (no longer) a soul. All thanks to the Catan (correct my wording if i'm wrong), which the tech priests have a dangerous risk of end up worshipping...
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.

One thing about the treaty between Terra and Mars. A huge part was the gift of 12 navigators to the admech, after the opening of the eye of terror which caused the origional division of humanity Mars somehow lost all of its navigators. Though the warp storms that split humanity had long since calmed mars was incapable of reuniting the forge worlds with out them
I worked in engineering and research for 11 years, and I'll admit a certain teeny sympathy with the superstitious side of the mechanicus. I long since lost count of the number of times I was faced with a downed bit of machinery I 'd gone over forwards and backwards, inside and out, that triggered a tiny irrational part of my brain to wonder: Does this thing, somehow, just not i/want/i to work for me?
12:00 I wasn't paying super close attention so when you brought STCs back up for a second I thought you said SCP and I was like wait is this a crossover or something? XD
I love your videos, but there are 3 mistakes here: 1. STC's: STC's are not comprehensive, but specify a single piece of technology. We know this because nearly all Imperial technology like mk4 lasguns, the Leman Russ tank, and Land Raiders are all different and all constructed from STC's. 2. Skitarii: Only some Skitarii are able to fight in diverse biomes, most (the low-level Skitarii) are little better than enhanced Guardsmen. 3. The Void Dragon has not been considered the strongest of the 4 C'tan (before the lore rework), but rather the one with the largest potential influence.
Ibram Gaunt found an STC in the first book of Ghosts on Menazoid Epsilon that would've made Men of Iron, but it was corrupted by Chaos and had to be destroyed.

This being the Warhammer 40k universe, it's not surprising that there would be confusions and conflations about STCs.
But there are 3 forms in which STCs exist:
1. The first is a construction template, akin to a blueprint in digital format, which also includes various details about the type of metals and power sources need to craft an item. Although rare, they are the most common and can be found on various industrial worlds, research worlds, and all forge worlds.
2. The second type is a constructor forge, akin to a building-sized 3-d printer which also houses several unique production patterns of items. These are very rare, perhaps a few dozen in the entire galaxy and kept a tight secret. These often come with a warehouse exit, where people can find exotic weapons somehow appear by miracle when danger is close by.
3. The final one is a complete STC database, along with its constructor forges and a dedicated AI to manage production and requests. Few examples remain, all of them on board a few Ark Mechanicus battleships, not only forgotten but also paranoid of being discovered, thus the AI erase the minds of those who might reveal them.
Beside the human STCs, there are also Eldar, Dark Eldar and Necron models of STCs, containing caches of exotic weapons and whatnot, in the 3 forms stated above. Much like humanity, these races do not conduct research or develop new tech, but merely dig through the ruins of their ancestors for bits of knowledge or ancient weaponry.
The Chaos Forges also contain such STCs, in various degrees of daemonic infestation, or even fully powered by caged Greater Daemons being drained of energy to produce new fleets and armies.
You just made my 4am lonely snack much better
The omnissiah is always with u...toastin ur 4am snacks
Epigrams of Saint Eukelsis 3.89: "Protect the shield of the mind, and the body will be shielded thereby."
All of these videos just fuel my desire to play 40k more and more.
its thanks to you and these videos that ive discovered warhammer lore and i love it! thanks
Mechanicus: Is it any wonder why people are afraid of technology?
Mechanicus: TECHNOLOGY!
The rest of the Imperium: AGH!
Mekhane would be pride!
I know GW doesn't really play the long game (the endless ret-cons prove that) but wouldn't it be neat if this is how the Silent King forces the Imperium to team up with the Necrons to take on the Tyrnids? Wake up the Machine God/Void Dragon, get the Mechanicum onside and thereby force the Imperium to follow... That would get all the Imperium factions onside, plus the Necrons. The Tau could easily be persuaded (greater good blah blah) and even the Eldar and Orks could be brought along (Self preservation and "hey big ass fight this way"). Hell even Chaos might join up cause the Tyranids kinda do nasty things to them just by existing.
Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall of that meeting?
The Mechanicus are one of the most interesting factions in 40k.
I need so much more of this !!! Please I beg you !
*Exploring Warhammer 40k: Tau Women*
*Exploring Warhammer 40k: Rule34/Hentai* when?
They already got it, its called Slaanesh
Filthy xeno propaganda. Avert thyn eyes brother!
Not till september 20th dude. Im storming area 51 to clap some eldar banshee cheeks
*_Why_*
Oopsies
40k is badass af ! I dont know how i missed the existence of this franchise for so long
I suppose that the Mechanicus must not be fans of the Necrons?
They're xenos, so that alone makes them despicable in the eyes of the Tech Priests. However, even the zealots of Mars know that Necrons are without question some of the most advanced factions out there.
They could never replicate that tech though because even Eldar scientists are still confused about the insanity that is Necron tech.
Actually the Mechanicus has a bit of a heresy problem with the Necrons. Some factions view them as the ideal of merging with the machine and becoming closer to the machine god.
I'm saying that because the Dude described that the Adeptus Mechanicus saw "intelligence/sentience without soul" to be the most despicable thing. It that case, it was used to describe the concept of AI. But those words can also describe the Necrons, seeing as how they are living sentient machines yet they don't have (no longer) a soul.
All thanks to the Catan (correct my wording if i'm wrong), which the tech priests have a dangerous risk of end up worshipping...
@@robertjarvis3428 If it wasn't for the stolen/devoured soul, that is...
@@kainslegacy78618 *C'tan :P
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved.
For the Machine is Immortal.
Even in death i severe the omnissiah
If I may make a suggestion, you should do a video on Horus and the Horus Heracy in depth
*"Count to three, and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch shall be aroused!"*
He probably just pushed in the power plug - I imagine the original _Big E_ as the average slightly greasy service engineer who got mythologized into the handsome shiny warrior god we all came to love, fear and worship. 😅
Concept: Vashtorr will one day accomplish his goal. When he does, he’ll have “always been there” as the machine god.
This is pretty similar to Mekhane the machine Elder god from the SCP Foundation.
Dr.feelalright kinda incorrect to think of the SCP wiki as any kind of singular entity. The author might've been a 40k fan but the concept of a machine god isn't unique to 40k and was around before 40k
Could Mekhane be rebuilt out of ciberdongs?
*All heal mekhane*
The adeptus mechanicus: best faction
fight me
One thing about the treaty between Terra and Mars. A huge part was the gift of 12 navigators to the admech, after the opening of the eye of terror which caused the origional division of humanity Mars somehow lost all of its navigators. Though the warp storms that split humanity had long since calmed mars was incapable of reuniting the forge worlds with out them
"The machine god has appointed Humanity as it's chosen people".... well of course it has, hasn't it.
Belisarius Cal be gangsta among the Adeptus Mechanicus
Keep it up, hoping to see some fantasy Warhammer videos one day too.
9:06 leading many to call him The -Omnissiah- _Fonz_
I adore your videos please keep making them, You have such cool voice and amayzing reading style.
you make my life happier😁👍
This pleases the Machine Spirit
''Where are the tosters you promised us?''
The Adeptus Mechanicus is just the Church of the Broken God from an alternate universe
Sounds like the idea of church of the broken god came from this
Can you do a video on the Xeelee from Xeelee Sequence?
Yes. That'd be awesome. They're a difficult subject to cover but they are awesome.
The what from what?
They make great help in the making of the Astartes. They're very important to the survival of humanity.
I worked in engineering and research for 11 years, and I'll admit a certain teeny sympathy with the superstitious side of the mechanicus. I long since lost count of the number of times I was faced with a downed bit of machinery I 'd gone over forwards and backwards, inside and out, that triggered a tiny irrational part of my brain to wonder: Does this thing, somehow, just not i/want/i to work for me?
The recruitment of the Church of the Broken God really is pushing it
When the church of the broken god goes mainstem
Love these guys. Also the game with the same namesake has a *killer* soundtrack
12:00 I wasn't paying super close attention so when you brought STCs back up for a second I thought you said SCP and I was like wait is this a crossover or something? XD
Adeptus Mechanicus = Church of the Broken God?
they'd seem to appreciate meccaine
This is like when you get angry at your phone, computer, etc and start talking to it as if it was alive and sentient
So... the OG Church of the Broken God, combined with the Brotherhood of Steel. Neat.
We need more Warhammer 40k content. More factions more stories more orks more blood!!!
basically worshippers of the Broken God, got it
We. Are. Not. A. Brick. Wall. We. Are. Skitaari.
The machanicus trying to contain STCs, sounds similar to another universe this channel covers
Necrons gonna be pissed when they find out the Toaster Bois are worshiping a C'tan
oh, trust me, we know.
I love your videos, but there are 3 mistakes here:
1. STC's: STC's are not comprehensive, but specify a single piece of technology. We know this because nearly all Imperial technology like mk4 lasguns, the Leman Russ tank, and Land Raiders are all different and all constructed from STC's.
2. Skitarii: Only some Skitarii are able to fight in diverse biomes, most (the low-level Skitarii) are little better than enhanced Guardsmen.
3. The Void Dragon has not been considered the strongest of the 4 C'tan (before the lore rework), but rather the one with the largest potential influence.
Your talking about STC fragments, the real deal is a wikipedia of how to build stuff.
Ibram Gaunt found an STC in the first book of Ghosts on Menazoid Epsilon that would've made Men of Iron, but it was corrupted by Chaos and had to be destroyed.
Can you discuss the freeblades? They're really awesome
