Thanks for watching our video This lore BROKE OUR BRAINS! || WARHAMMER 40K - Timeline Reaction || Ft. Bricky
60 million years ago, not 60000 years
I've heard some speculation, that the Old Ones threw the asteroid at the dinosaurs and jump-started human evolution. But of course, they weren't around long enough to finish making us into whatever they wanted us to be.
@@WilliamMoses355 we're probably the failed prototype for the Aeldari considering how similar on the surface we are.
Or an updated version, that never went past alpha test@@allancastellon9248
Bricky’s videos about every faction and every space marine legion are usually the best starting point. Yes the videos are older now, things have been added and things have been retconned and some things Bricky does get incorrect but as a starting point he’s the best option.
Take small bites. Trying to ingest too much 40k at one time will absolutely be too overwhelming.
this stuff has gone on consistently since the 80's, theirs a lot of info to parse through
@squaresphere Its tough when your so genuinely interested 😅
Big bites, excess is to be embraced.
1 Hive City can house 10-100 Billion people.
1 Planet can have more than 1 Hive City.
The Imperium has a Million Worlds.
Humanity is a *_LOT_* in 40k. Quadrillions, some have estimated. Life is the Emperor's currency, so spend it well in every battle.
The Old Ones were gods that created the Eldar and Orks to fight against the Necrons but were defeated and hunted to extinction by the Necrons and Ctan/Star Gods.
The Secret level takes place after the events of the game Space Marine 2 and the entity they were fighting was some type of Daemon who serves the Chaos God of Change Tzeentch.
The Old Ones were not gods. They were an ancient, technologically and psychically advanced race of reptilian beings.
@@alec2706 Thanks for the clear up! 😁🙏🏾
I recommend the 2 other big Bricky lore videos:
Every Warhammer 40k Factions Explained
Every Space Marine Legion in a Nutshell
They will help fill in a few more blanks before diving into these other creators like Weshammer & Majorkill for more single stories, lore lists like "Most Powerful," and etc.
Oh nice! We actually just reacted to the Faction Pt 1 video and your definitely right it filled in a lot of spaces. I'm sure Part 2 and the legions video will do the same! Excited to check out those channels soon as well!
The Pontius has great lore videos as well! 👍😎👍
Definitely watch both of bricky's factions explained vids as well and the space marine legions one cause those will definitely help make things make more sense. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is 40k lore o7
I second this
I'd suggest Arbitor Ian for more accurate information
Or leutin09 @@paimonisfood4986

I get the hesitation, but trust me, the rabbit hole will drag you in eventually. It's just too fascinating of a universe. Keep the 40k lore reactions coming!
@@spirosgreek1171 I agree! The interest is definately piqued!
the old ones are another god-like race, while the necrons are simply an alien race
@@Levi-jo4wk 🙏🏾
The war in heaven lasted roughly 5 million years. Yes it will be the greatest conflict thw warhammer universe has ever seen.
the setting on the Secret Level are on 41st millenium (40k event)
and the enemies they are facing are Cultists and Demons of The Chaos God Tzeentch
@@furqanrahman8409 🔥 Thanks!
The Gaunt's Ghosts series is excellent, not so much focus on the insane overpowered stuff, just a group of rag tag humans in the military trying to stay alive and maybe win, maybe even get some payback.
Highly recommend, the soldiers are some of the best characters in the whole of 40k.
It's a great series, sure as sure!
Same for Ciaphas Cain books and Eisenhorn too. Not a ton of tech or psyker stuff per se. Some demons, cultists, Necron and other xenos.
24:00 Yeah, the Warp is not really "another galaxy". It's more like a psychic shadow of the physical one.
Two sides of the same coin.
basically a mirror...a mess up mirror
This is why I say people should watch the 40k factions explained videos first because it can be confusing to new people but you guys are digesting it decently well. Definitely keep diving into the universe more and you will understand it.
The Old Ones were gods who were wiped out by the C'Tan, using Necrons as their army. The Old Ones created Eldar and Orks to fight back but it was to no avail. This was the War in Heaven. The Old Ones were gone, the Eldar and Orks lingered. The C'Tan were overthrown by the Necrons who rebelled against their enslavement. The Necrons decided to hibernate in the hope Eldar and Orks would be gone too when they awoke millions of years later. I will also add that some weapons and technology used during these times, as well as during the Dark Age of Technology endure in some places across the galaxy. They are generally referred to as Relics, often used as plot points or MacGuffins in various 40K storylines. The Webway for example is seen as technology created by the Old Ones to move across the galaxy, which is now utilised by The Eldar. The Emperor was working on developing this technolofgy to benefit mankind before the Horus Heresy fucked that up.
I also think they are lizard people.
The whiplash you felt when you finally realized that 40k had started and the Horus heresy ended was hilarious, but also understandable.
HH serves as a prequel to 40k, but because it's so expansive, you could get lost in that subsection alone and feel content and fulfilled. This video can leave you feeling routed and without a strong foundation and that's normal, you've only just got one piece of the puzzle. However, if you pursue the rabbit hole, the different pieces will start to stick together and you'll gain a far better appreciation of the bits you gain along the way. I'm here for it
@@viziontrex 🫡 Haha well do our best! FOR THE EMPEROR!
Please do more! 40k is definitely overwhelming at first, but I promise all the pieces will slowly be put together into one of the most satisfying things you've ever experienced in media!
I would really recommend Weshammer's timeline video eventually. It can help a lot to go back over these events, and his video is one of my favorite timelines of 40k. He's a bit more clear and has some more information that Bricky didn't include.
Guy on the right was thinking of The Webway when yall paused to go over the Warp and all. It's what the Aeldari (space elves) created, an artificial pocket dimension
Still 100% recommend The Death of Hope, you can dive into the lore of the Heresy alongside it as it takes place right at the start of the civil war
Caiaphus Cain is a dude with crippling imposter syndrome who somehow keeps stumbling into success and gets more and more panicked about it, i find it ridiculously comedic.
I appreciate how focused you all are on taking notes and truly learning the topics you react to. You should definitely finish up with Bricky's video reactions, they are a bit older and there are some retcons/inaccuracies but overall he provides the best and most concise introductio to 40k. then i would recommend Luetin if you want to dig deeper into the lore
@@noblereflex8332 Awesome, thanks! 🙏🏾
This was only a little bit of the lore. The lore is so much bigger than what you just saw
@@daisukeniwa402645 Haha yeah were learning that quickly! 😵💫😂
The Bricky Faction videos are the best to watch for beginners
You guys did really well starting with the timeline instead of the factions one. Getting the space elves role in the galaxy is vital to get 40K, at least imo.
Yeah, it's simultaneously more succinct and more all-encompassing than the factions video, definitely a much better overview of the setting for newbies.
@@denkerbosu3551 🫡
ahh welcome to 40k. you can never have enough
40k is the definition of a rabbit hole. The journey is everything, enjoy it, there's not really an endpoint :)
dont worry about people bieng mad that you talk/pause/ask questions, half of us warhammer fans have already seen the content you are reacting to, the value and entertainment comes from yalls intrigue and opinions on said videos.
enjoy the rabbit hole hommies
@@lennonthomas1223 🙏🏾🫡
You guys need to understand how absolutely absurd the amount of lore is. I've been into this since 2012, I've spent years teaching people lore and learning it myself. I have 11 armies at this point, It's truly never ending. You'll never run out of lore and stuff to learn.
I love one kinda link between 40K and Fantasy. How Malekith the Witch King basically got fooled in a very similar fashion to Horus. The Chaos Gods showed him a horrific future of the High Elves and implied he could stop it, when his actions would be the cause.
'97 here! 😂🤣 Its really a ocean that you cant swim to the bottom of 😅
@@michaelriddick7116Oh but how we try! It's cold enough to freeze our blood and infinitely dark but still we swim lower.
Ahhhh. Lore passion is better than a crisply folded paper airplane.
Cheers
-Alpharious-
Better part? You can make your own lore - I like to create an entire sector, with their lore, planets, Militarum regiments, Space Marine chapters, Mechanicus representatives, and so on...
@EastGhostINC Absolutely love it!
In the war in heaven, you have the Necrons + C'tan vs. Old Ones + Eldar + Orks. The Old Ones were killed off, C'tan were shattered and imprisoned, Necrons went to sleep, and the Eldar spread out across the galaxy. The Orks just devolved into fighting and being silly boys. Bricky's video is good, but it does throw a lot of terms that you don't really need to know early on so it is quite overwhelming.
As for the Secret Level episode questions, I believe that episode takes place after Space Marine 2 and is the latest stuff in the 40k timeline (around the 42nd millenium) and the creature they fought was a sorcerer of Tzeentch, once human but changed through a lot of magic.
40K lore is so deep and vast that watching this video is like standing on the beach looking at the ocean, the water is just tickling your toes, now do you have the b**ls to swim in the deep ocean whilst not really knowing what creatures lurk within its depths...
"..Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne..".....
@@jamieturton3055 😤🙌🏾 FOR THE EMPEROR
@@astravisionstudios ... See yah in da Great 'WAAAGH' at de end ov time... Great Warboss 'Dragon' gonna stamp sum 'umies'.....
Another channel I reccomend is the remembrancer. His lore videos on space marines (including the primarchs) and the other factions are clear to understand and he narrates them in a cool voice!
As for your 2 questions;
Secret level ep 5 takes place right after space marine 2
The creature fighting the marines was a tyranid: imagine the xenomorphs from alien and the arachnids from starship troopers had babies and that's pretty much them.
Bros.. I'm an old fart who was a kid when I started playing Wh40k.. ( the years it released... Rogue Trader ).... the deepness of the Lore is... TLDR... overwhelming... so thx to Bricky and other CC's that do a summary with the most common "terms to know"
Keep the reactions coming. Welcome to 40k. Stay away from heresy !
Yeah the lore in 40k is *THICC* and juicy, glad you chose bricky, he's a very beginner friendly as a intro to the lore
Dont be those guys that dont know what they are talking about, believe me, warhammer 40k is absolute pinnacle of heroism, the need of the many outweight the need of the few to the latter. It isnt just you sacrifing yourself for the many, its you sacrificing 1 planet, either yours or your enemies, to ensure the many survive. Every level of conflict from the streets to the stars, questioning what is right and what is wrong to your core. And once you understand(dont need to dwelve too deep into the lore), you already love this franchise, that built entire worlds to explore.
Cant wait to see you guys all fall down the rabbit hole like the rest of us lmao
Okay, tyranids;
The big bug looking creature that ripped a Terminator Space Marine in half that is known as a tyranid. A hyper evolved bug race that travels the distance between galaxies to consume life. Unending numbers with the ability to evolve their species to overcome any obstacles that they may come across.
I unfortunately do not collect tyranids so my understanding of the exact model is lacking. But there are many lovers of that faction and people can definitely tell you what it was.
Hope this helps
Cheers
-Alpharious-
One thing Bricky didn't mention about the space elves: they also figured out how to reincarnate with full memories, hence they didn't fear death and gladly included it in their weird lewd art pain things.
Also, interesting you bringnup multiverses: 40K kinda is that, there is indeed time travel due to the Warp travel.
Some ships teaveling through it in yhe year 30K will end up in the year 40K, 10 thousand years later.
@@denkerbosu3551 huh, thats interesting!
For the secret level episode. If you’re talking about the group of blue glowy guys those are tzaangor (zan-gore), a sort of mutant subspecies of human. If you mean the giant one it’s a chaos daemon. Both are servants of Tzeentch, the chaos god of change.
The Tzaangor are used in the “thousand sons” faction in the tabletop game and that particular daemon doesn’t have a model as far as I know. But in lore, they serve Tzeentch.
No need to apologise for comparing Warhammer to DnD, Warhammer started out as just a set of rules for people to use to play a skirmish game with the DnD models they had lying around, the company kicked off and started hiring their own model sculptors and the rest is history.
I have a lot of love for 40K myself, the first version of it released about a week after I was born, I've been into it for as long as I can remember! Seeing new people get into the lore and learn about this wacky hobby has been one of the most fun things for me over the last few years, and ever since Bricky made his series I have been eating good with reactions to them all :D
@@Whitewingdevil Oh wow thats pretty cool! Id be even more invested if the first version came out a week after my birthday too! 😃
Okay, secret level;
Right now in the lore there is a popularized character named Titus. This all stems from the console game Space, Marine and Space Marine 2. Which just came out.
Titus is a member of the ultramarines, the Space Marine Legion led by Robutae Gilliman
(Robot girlyman, rowboat gorillaMan)
The secret level episode "and they shall know no fear" expands upon titus's lore by showing him as a child being recruited. As far as timeline, it is in the current era of lore. As for how close it is to modern day, I have no idea. There are a few major events that have happened in the current lore and I am unsure if they are covered in the game Space Marine. 2 or even mentioned in it. If they are then Titus would be considered lore accurate.
Hope this helps
Cheers

12:40 60 million not 60 thousands
42:00 there's Warhammer 40K, and then Warhammer Fantasy, now rebranded as "age of sigmar"
Now, the whole part of the Horus Heresy happens during the year 30K.
All of that is basically a prologue to what the Imperium and overall the galaxy will shape up to be in the yesr 40.000
To add extra clarification, Warhammer Fantasy was first and really really big for long period of time, had recently seen resurgence again as The Old World and together with video games such as Vermintide, and Total War Warhammer series out has never really died.
It's lore is just as deep, and is really entertaining and definitely with ones attention.
Two notes: no, it's not "just a planet" within 40k universe. It's separate universe completely. It was only one authors idea he was toying with and has been written away years ago. God's work differently old ones with differently and are most likely still alive etc.
Second: Warhammer Fantasy is THE universe where the entire series gets it's name from: it's that universe that has THE TITULAR WARHAMMER that's being used as brand on all their products ;)
the Warhammer 40K universe is MASSIVE, it has over 550 books writen about it, 12+ video games in 4 different genres, a tabletop game, and takes place in the Milky Way galaxy, and is very enjoyable once u get a little deeper into it... ♥ from Denmark... PS: it started 60M years ago, not 60K... the Old Ones are the Gods that the Necrontyr asked for help first to become immortal, who told them no, then they asked the C'tan, the Gods eating stars, for help becoming immortal, who said yes, but then ate their soul and made the Necrontyr race into immortal space "Terminators", now called Necrons, forcing them to help them kill the Old Ones, which they did, ALL OF THEM, but then the Necrons turned on the C'tan, broke them into pieces and trapped them in giant tombs, to be used in war... lastly, Secret Level EP5 takes place after the new Space Marine 2 game ends...
@@spyro257 Thanks for the info! 🙏🏾
That dude who made secret level made a project solo called astartes and he just dropped the trailer to the second one
@@joeydimeo2265 Yeah, we actually did a video to both of those last week! 😁
The thing to always remember, 40K is nearly 40 years old, it's lore has been growing for years from a small table top game to what it is today. There's innumerable bits of retconned lore, fan theories, abandoned plotlines, and just flat out ignored bits. Don't worry about knowing everything, just enjoy the stuff you like- it's a little like Star Trek, you don't need to watch decades of the shows and books, it's fine if you just like the cartoon, or in Warhammer's case, it's fine if you like the games and just listen to a few lore podcast episodes
Just google the official supplemental rule book "Dance Steps for GW's Space Hulk Game", to realize that while it's a serious grimdark setting, it's also one that has never taken itself too seriously
Just as an aside, the secret level episode? That's essentially Space Marine 3, it's something that happens to Titus after the ending of the Space Marine 2 game
@@esmith8818 Thanks for that insight 🙏🏾😁
Video games are like small percentage of stuff guys, secondary products, and afterthought for the company. Only fairly recently they finally started paying more attention to this market. Majority of the lore and game is in books and tabletop game (NOT BOARDgame, Tabletop Wargame. You dont have board woth fields, but rather l, ideally, a diorama where you measure actual distances)
@@Bermaetel Ahh i see!
Love your enthusiasm and attention paid. Dude on the left lol, butchered the old ones lore😅😂
And Warhammer Fantasy. God bless him, it's a lot😅
10:38 they killed one but he places a curse on the necron race which leads to the birth of the flayer virus creating terrifying robots with an intense need to feed but having no mouth to fo so here is his final words "To those who have denied us. To those who have denied me. I will wreak vengeance. I will wrench your souls and break your bones. I will cast hunger through your accursed existence. Down the eons, you will not forget. I will grant you this gift from love turned aside and make you like me, break you in my image as you have broken me. I shall cast the fear of myself into you and all of your kind. I am Llandu'gor. I am the hunger. I am the flayer, and from this moment, you shall be too."
Three years later, I have reached the final book in the Horus Heresy/ Seige of Terra series. Lol. Don't worry about how much there is to learn, you'll get there.
Welcome Brodas. Welcome to the nightmare. I understand your hesitation and overwhelming confusion. But you are not alone. Begin where you feel most comfortable. But which ever avenue you take. Make the Lord Emperor be with you and make your Bolter never round out off ammo. Hail the OMNISSIAH! Always remember brodas the machine is immortal.
If you're looking for a 40K book series to get into that is accessible for new people then pick up the Ciaphas Cain series, each book is about one of Cain's shenanigans during his long term of service in the Imperial Guard and is a great first hand viewpoint that makes everything a bit easier to swallow.
The Omnissiah's Algorithm demands more! For the Emporer!!!
definetly check out the other Bricky videos of him explaining the factions. the Astartes series is a good watch, there is another fan animation movie called Helsreach, also a good watch
@@Creepy___ oh we actually just watched the Astartes series about a week ago along with the Astartes 2 trailer last week! So good!
Something super interesting is that humanity is probably a perfected life form created by the Old Ones. We aren't as emotionally sensitive or psychically powerful as the Aeldari, but we have a far easier time spreading out and reprsoducing quickly. Not as quick as the Orks, and not as physically strong, but we also arent dependent on violence to increase our own strength and intelligence.
We are actually a balancing point between the Orks and Aeldari. They are both extremes, one of the mind, and one of the body. We possess some strength in both, but we lack their crippling biology based weaknesses. We have the potential to one day master both without the same drawbacks.
I always thought this proved that we were made by the Old Ones. A well balanced final product, with a slow start, but one day could be the new apex species in the Milky Way galaxy. However we do have a crippling weakness that can also be our greatest strength. The need for Faith. Our greatest insecurity, and source of manipulation, but also an unstoppable Spear when united and focused towards our enemies.
10,000 years of sacrifice and prayer have super juiced the Emperor into what is essentially a human God of Order, instead of Chaos. His own resurrected son Roboute Guilliman could barely be in the same room as his father even though his body was rotted away almost entirely. His psychic presence felt like it was everywhere, crushing and drowning out Guillimans slightest thoughts, but felt like a totally different person. Broken, unfocused, but magnitudes larger and stronger than before.
Also note that warhammer universe has 300+ books of lore..
and like 70 of those is just Horus Heresy.
Loved your video. The templin institute videos are good too.
Okay, tabletop;
Warhammer 40K is primarily a tabletop Army simulator. Two players Fielding armies and then taking a turn-based round to gather points and achieve victory conditions. After five turns whoever has the most points wins.
To start think of the collection of models and the tabletop as two separate entities.
The collection side is more often than not the most expensive and time consuming side.
First, choose a faction that you want to collect, build and paint. make it your own, The rule of cool applies, As in paint it Anyway you want make any lore for it that you want in your head and enjoy. The models are not cheap because they are not supposed to be. This is a hobby, not just a game. If you have any reservations about the cost, talk to people that collect pokémon or magic gathering for completion or people that collect guns or cars. You're paying for the hobby.
The game itself is quite cheap. You can play it with painted popsicle sticks using toilet paper rolls and tissue boxes as terrain. You can play on your kitchen floor. I know because that's where I started many years ago.
After you have collected a sizable Army, you can move on to the second part of the hobby which is the tabletop.
Each faction has a rule book known as a codex. This codex has all the rules and specs for each unit within that faction.
There is a core rule book which has all the rules for gameplay. It also has the rules for board setup involving terrain and objective markers. All of which are needed to score primary objectives and secondary objective points. Which of course in turn leads to your victory conditions.
Find your first victim, and the two of you collectively will decide as to what size of game you want to play.
500 points for a small game
1,000 points for a medium game
2,000 points for a standard game
These points dictate the size of the army that you can field as in the codecs. Each model has a point value. For a quick reference, a. Squad of Astra militarum may cost you 75 points for 10 models. But a squad of Space Marines may cost you 350 points for five.
Once you have decided on the point value you can begin building your army list. This is also when you decide what style of game it's going to be as per the core rulebook and then you set your table up.
From here it is dice rolling and I mean lots and lots of dice. Five rounds of tactical movement shooting melee charging psychic powers and at the end of it which team scored the most points takes the cup.
With the nearly unlimited amount of strategy that can be put into a single game, each one will take between two and six plus hours to complete. It is an absolutely amazing way to kill an afternoon.
I hope this helps,
Cheers

I did some quick math to see how many psychers that have been sacrificed to keep the Emperor alive since the Horus Heresy, and heres what I got:
As stated, the Imperium needs to sacrifice 1,000 psychers every single day, and there are 365 days in a year, so that means 365,000 have been sacrificed a day. Multiply that by 10,000 years, and the Imperium has sacrificed over 3.65 billion psychers.
Which just goes to show you just how large humanity's population has grown considering psykars are like less than 10% of the population
60 MILLIONS year ago Guys ^^. And yeah do the every faction of bricky
Another good intro to 40k is The Dark Imperium trilogy. It's basically about the current status of the setting and how humanity is reacting to it. That and it basically has a primarch as the protagonist so it's a good intro to what they are as well
Welcome lads to 40k
Summary: The Necrontir were shortlived and live in radiated worlds; they discovered the Old Ones among the stars with power to create life and asked for their help but were refused; Necrontir declared war on the Old Ones and were defeated; Necrontir discovered other powerful beings called the C'Tan who deceived them and turned them into robotic automatons bereft of self consciousness except their Dynasts and the Silent King who led them; The C'Tan waged war against their rivals, the Old Ones using the Necrons as their foot soldiers; The Old Ones created new species like the Eldar and the Orks to aid them but were ultimately defeated; Szarekh the Silent King schemed against the C'Tan causing infighting among them until they were reduced to only five; Szarekh then began a rebellion and broke the remaining C'Tan with one fleeing the galaxy and the Void Dragon encountering the Emperor of Mankind Millennia before his ascension to the Throne of Mankind, who defeated it and buried it in Mars before it had been colonized. The Void Dragon is theorized to be the reason for all great technological advancements made by the Cult Mechanicus of Mars. Szarekh exiled himself and a few of his followers and ordered the entombing of the entire Necron race before he left. The Necron departure from the scene allowed for the new species to develop. After the general lore by Bricky, you can also check out MajorKill and Weshammer for more interesting stories and they also answer some of the questions newbies ask about the setting. There is Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (adapted in creative assembly's Total War franchise) similar concepts but with different settings.
Horus Rising isnt too long, casual reading is enough.
Isyander and kota have some great lore videos
Oh dont worry, we will vote for more 40k😂
There are 3 different Warhammer worlds. The first is Warhammer Fantasy Battles, now called The Old World. This is the setting of the Total War Warhammer games and the Vermintide games. A few years later, they made a sci-fi setting called Warhammer 40 000. The Space Marine games and Dawn of War games are set here. Then, they ended Fantasy Battles and reset the setting and made Age of Sigmar. There are several smaller games set here. Despite the common name and chaos gods, 40k is separate from the other two.
The old ones aren't the Necrontyr. The old ones are sorta like the "creators" of life in the galaxy around 60-ish million years ago that went extinct after the War In Heaven. They were the ones who the Necrontyr originally went to for aid, but as they rejected their plea for help, the Necrontyr turned to the C'tan(Star gods) for aid instead which led to the creation of the Necrons and the beginning of the War in Heaven.
You got a little confused with the Old Ones who are separate from the necrons, C’tan and Chaos Gods.
About the birth of Slaneesh, he is wrong in that it wasn't her birth that created all the Warp storms that cut off the galaxy bur rather the act of debauchery the Eldar committed. It was actually Slaneesh's birth that blew away all the warp storms allowing rhe Emperor to start his Crusade.
Okay, The Learning curve;
As many people have said and as many times as it will be said again, the lore is deep, the lore is vast and the lore is confusing.
For the vast majority of us that follow around people starting and enjoying this journey. We all appreciate when you're wrong. It's okay to be wrong. It's okay to miss something. It's okay to not understand. We are more than happy to help you fill in the blanks from what you've missed. We got you. Ask the comment section, anything you want and we'll help you out.
Taking notes on this subject is extremely difficult because it's such a vast amount of time and with each new section of time that is opened up, it brings with it new characters, new factions, and a whole new spin-off of lore. Be patient, it's not difficult or complicated, It's just steep.
As other commenters have said it's millions of years of lore.
And that's prior to humans hitting the scene.
There is a very common saying;
Every truth is a lie and every lie is a truth.
This is what makes sorting out the lore of 40K so difficult. It was written by multiple writers who were not in communication with each other prior to the newer runs of books and short stories. They have their own publishing company called the black Library, this is a grab all catch-all for anything related to Warhammer 40K. Prior to about 12 years ago, you could submit writing to the black Library and if it met the standards of their writing codes and ethics, they would publish or print your short story into the magazine that they ran called White dwarf. If your writing was received positively, they would reach out to you to write a novella or even a full-on novel. As the years progressed, the Lord just started stacking up and stacking up and stacking up and it started to bulge. What could be considered real and accurate. There's four different origin stories for the Emperor of mankind, but which one is the right one? Nobody knows. So instead of unifying or kibashing the old pieces of work, they left it up to interpretation.
Now however, over the past 12 years or so, the black Library allows you to submit writing to them, but they will not print it. Instead, you write about a topic or a faction and if they can squeeze it into the current narrative and lore without it changing anything that other writers are submitting and writing about, they will reach out and ask you to write about it. But if not, they will offer you a topic if you are skilled enough or if they like the way your writing style flows. This way Games workshop and the black Library are able to keep control of the narrative. They're able to let the lore build without bloat.
This bloat is why the ultramarines are viewed as the most powerful Space Marine faction because so many people wrote about ultramarines and it kind of caused power creep in novels. So the lore behind the ultramarines is thick and convoluted.
Bricky does a great job of bringing all of this bloat into a more streamlined easy to digest nugget, he may not be accurate on every topic, but at least he covers the broad strokes and lets the viewer. Understand that this is just a skimmer across the surface.
I hope this helps and I hope you continue your journey. I recently found you guys for your solo leveling playlist and I'm subbed up because of it. So I look forward to your journey
Cheers

So Bricky is very entry level, which is not an insult. I'd start with the remaining Bricky videos and then start Luetin's videos. Luetin is much more in depth with his videos. My personal favorite is Oculus Imperialis but since his videos are from the perspective of an Imperium historian within the 40k universe, he uses terms and jargon that would not be easily understood by newer fans. That being said, I still recommend him after getting into the universe.
The old ones were the gods of real space who the early necrons and the c’tan (star eater gods) fought against in the war of heaven. The old ones created the eldar and the orks. In the current timeline, the old ones have all been wiped out
like your discussion style... love the warhammer dive. please more
There is only the real world, the warp (anti-real world basically), and the space in-between (where the Eldar travel through). No multiverse.
I always try to tell people to watch weshammers timeline video because it’s more accurate
You guys explaining the warp travel reminds me of my brother talking about space
@@alexrueda96 Im not sure if thats good or bad.. How old is your brother, and does he actually know anything about space?? 😂
@astravisionstudios yes and no. My neighbor son is in MIT for engineering. i get lost when he talks, but he helped me out when I became a civilian again. Been like brothers since we were kids
@@alexrueda96 Sounds like an awesome guy, ill take that as a compliment then 🫡 haha
you can get the books he mentioned as audiobooks if you don't have time to read, that's what I do, I listen to them while I'm at work.
Secret level time line wise is somewhere after Space Marine 2 game, very recent lore.
60 million years... not 60 thousand years
The Old Ones are a different race..The Necrontyr became the Necrons.
Trazyn the Infinite on the histpry of the galaxy bu Warrior Tier is almost a docummentary
Your buddy told you wrong, there is a Warhammer Fantasy game
Now I need y’all to react to the other bricky videos
and they are being blown away wit h30k and 40k lore, waitt ill they fin the war of the beast lore, from that period, or necromunda, lol or gorkamorka or the other bits and bobs
More....
React to Bricky's Every Faction in Warhammer Explained and Every Space Marine Legion Explained.
From now on most of the lore Videos only deal with the 41st minimum. with a few exceptions.
The Old Ones, the C'Tan & Necrontyr are all different alien races.
Also there is Warhammer fantasy which if it wasn't obvious from the name is the fantasy version of warhammer which i believe is its own separate universe
So on the matter if gods in 40k.
Think of this term as more of a description of class rather than type of being.
Beings named "gods" in 40k have usually different origins, powers, function in different ways, are different tier of brings (anything from galaxy spanning AI, imagination of whole race coalesced around living being or sentient continent-sized malicious clouds of particular emotion)
The Warp is parallel dimension (not pocket dimension, it's something different), mirror dimension, a spirit realm, Stranger Things upside down, a reflection of real space. Where real space is created of matter, energy and governed by physics, Warp is created from emotions, thoughts, worship, sentience, souls. It's incredibly difficult for material beings to understand and navigate, and similarly real space is incredibly difficult for nonmaterial entities (like Demons) to understand and navigate as well (what do you mean time is linear!?!?).
As Warp is parallel, sort of overlaid but separated by the veil from real space, most sentient being like humans, elves etc have "warp presence" which in essence is how big per of their souls is being casts into/exists in the warp. Psykers have really big presence there that allows them to actually draw upon the power roiling around, but also makes them "bright" and very visible for demons (think campfire compared to candle).
Now with above we can finally address the confusion regarding gods and old ones:
Old Ones are material alien species, beings of (almost) godlike psychic and scientific power. They travel the galaxy creating shaping and guiding life. Are extremely strong psykers and have very big psychic presence (to the point of some people suggesting they are half and half)
Necrons are different separate species that wanted to get secrets of immortality from Old Ones by any means necessary to the point they sold their souls to...
C'tan (the "gods" of material universe) are completely material beings with no warp presence. They are sentient clouds of energy that drain stars until they become cold and inert, essentially extinguishing all life that relies on stars (like sun) for survival. They are so embellished with physics of the universe that they can manipulate spaciotemporal reality at will, and destruction of one will essentially mess up some of the laws of physics, that's why they had to be shattered, not killed.
Chaos gods are completely warp based entities that literally cannot ever personally enter real space - moving across the veil costs energy and the is not enough energy in the universe for something so large to move through. That's why they gave to rely on possession, people believing in them and demons moving across (who are little pieces of them). They are almost planet sized being created from emotions in the warp: like attracts like, collecting together. At some point there was enough Hate, Ambition, Fear of Death and at later point Excess in one place for it to spontaneously to develop malicious sentience, looking only to grow larger and larger.
Emperor of Mankind started out as extremely powerful human psyker, so a material being with very very large warp presence. As the events of ten thousand years unfolded, he became more and more godlike due to constant psychic feedback of faith and adoration of untold billions of humans believing him to be god and by this alone feeding his psychic presence, actually indeed making him one (or being as close to one as any other of similar class in 40k universe)
@AstraVision Studios, Bricky has good introductory videos to the Warhammer 40K universe.
If you are interested I recommend the following:
1st - EVERY WARHAMMER 40K (WH40K) FACATIONS EXPLAINED | Part 1
2nd - EVERY WARHAMMER 40K (WH40K) FACATIONS EXPLAINED | Part 2
3rd - EVERY SINGLE WARHAMMER SPACE MARINE LEGION IN A NUTSHELL video
These will be a good a starting point.
If you wanna learn more:
Weshammer (a Warhammer40K Content creator) also has good videos that contain fewer memes but are more informative.
I recommend his "40K Timeline EXPLAINED. Everything You NEED to Know!" video as it is a tad bit more accurate.
There is also:
1. 10 Most POWERFUL Factions In Warhammer 40k Lore
2. Top 10 Most POWERFUL Characters In Warhammer 40K.
He has a lot of shorts too, those will be useful as ad-hoc information when time permits.
Finally I would also recommend Luetin09 (Also a Warhammer40K Content creator).
His EMPEROR OF MAN videos (1 to 3) give some depth and history to the Emperor and the timelines (Only Reccomend it if you really wanna know more about it coz they are long videos).
Lmao tortalini steered y’all wrong everytime he tried to answer one of y’all’s questions. The confidence was impressive though 🤣 another good source for micro moments is majorkill. Meant to be funny and short in lieu of super detailed, but it helps point you in the direction of stories you want to learn about! Also there’s Lorehammer if you’re into podcasts.
Don't start down this rabbit hole, you'll be buried believe me hehe
Bricky is a great place to start, but if you want to get super deep into the lore, Lutein09 is the way to go. He is the last remaining rememberencer,
There are 4 Warhammer universes:
Warhammer Fantasy
Warhammer Age of Sigmar
Warhammer 30k
Warhammer 40k
Warhammer Fantasy is the one that has THE TITULAR WARHAMMER but none is them is superior to the other, they simply... Cover different bases
next up watch brickys all factions explained videos(there's 2 parts) then watch his all space marine legions explained
One rule to keep in mind is that people in the 40k universe are often confidently wrong. Just as there are indications that orks are theoretically changing the rules of reality, there are equally valid scientific explanations to the same thing.
So 40k is nearly 40 years old. With continuous redevelopment, 10 editions, hundreds of books/novellas/short stories, it can easily be overwhelming. I would recommend sticking with some of these more broad high level vids until you find a faction or two that particularly interest you and then focus on that. Faction history tends to be individually contained, you don't necessarily need to know the setting in deep detail to understand them.
From a novels standpoint, I like the Caiaphas Cain series because it follows regular human soldiers in the grimdark future. Very easy to get into that series IMO.
For the boardgame (tabletop to be pedantic as theree is no board), technically the original one would be warhammer fantasy, with 40k being the satirical sci-fi version. 40k has since then matured and overtook the original in popularity, and with the release of the Horus Heresy books even spawned a spin-off tabletop setting that allows you to play out the civil war, creatively called "Horus Heresy" that is usually shortened to 30k.
Also, the strategy games the white boy (new to the channel) keeps mentioning are the dawn of war games. Very good, but distinctly minor parts of the setting as warhammer has, is and will be a tabletop game first and foremost, with most of the lore and story being attached to models and found in codexes (the faction rulebooks), that is then expanded on by blavk library authors in books.
the Faction video misses ONE new faction "the Leagues of Votann" which are space dwarfs, you would have to watc ha video on their lore on its own as the lore videos on here are too old for them to be included in a compilation
Warhammer 40k have over about 500 or more books
