The "once great imperium of man"??? HERESY!!!!!!!! I shall see this narrator imprisoned in the darkest cell beneath the Tower of Angels, chained next to the Betrayer himself!!!!! No respite, no mercy, no remorse etc. etc. you get the idea. Great video, huge fan!!
This channel is singlehandedly responsible for my introduction to 40k, and i want to thank you so much for that! The first video i watched of yours was about the world of Kreig, the death korps and the 500+ year civil war. Since that point on ive been hooked! It's insane to me how much depth 40k has and thanks to you i will continue to enjoy!!
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it! I always try and cover a wide range of the lore, since as you say, there is just so much of it! At some point I'm going to do another Krieg video though, they themselves have enough content to make dozens more videos just focussed on them
As a tech-priest, if I hear this Scholar deliver one more sermon in NON-BINARY by the gears of the Omnissiah he'll be getting a visit from the Legio Cybernetica!
Threaten the scholar once more and I'll use this stash of ancient "laptops" and "cellular phones", that some pre-golden age Terran hoarded for some unknown reason, as targets for my blade and bolter.
The tyranids as they are being cleansed by the marines And what is my crime? Eating a biomass meal? A succulent biomass meal? I see you know your purging well
You have a nice voice and I would prefer hearing these scripts read in your voice than in Generic 40k AI Narrator Voice that I've heard a bazillion times, but idk if other people feel the same
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say, but at the same time I actually really enjoy the AI narration aspect of all this. Still, perhaps at some point I'll change my mind on this, and start throwing my own voice in more and more (even though I've used it from time to time to convert specific phrases, though it's never noticed), or voice some characters myself, but in any case, I do appreciate your point.
Genestealer-cults, Chaos-Cults, Life and die as a work Labourer for the Imperium or become just a servitor ....so many good opportunities to chose from in these future! 🙂
Isn’t it true that sometimes the hive mind won’t actually sever the connection to the cultists, so the cultists actually think that they are ascending instead of being eaten? It can only be described as an act of mercy
I think I've heard that before somewhere, but can't remember the source. The codex always pushes the whole "severed connection" point though, so I like to stick with that
Whatever it is it's a brilliant tactic. The progeny of an insect empire has conquering another race as food in their DNA. And plays perfectly on human psychology as a religion for ascendance. One of the coolest fictional creatures/race lol
The Great Work was probably one of my favourite books. Excellent story of a genestealer cult and my favourite arch magos. Thank you for another great lecture dear Scholar 💀💜
Love the GSC lore, I like the idea of a future with armies using super technology to fight and the population rising to attack their oppressors with what they have
Depends on a lot of things. Once they realise what they are, they may well see one another as kindred spirits and ally. They may alternatively see one another other as perverted versions of the ‘true’ faith. Eventually, the two Broodminds will join together, but it’s not instant.
Hmm, I'm not actually sure, I haven't heard of rival cults meeting with each other. Next time I do a gene-cult vid I'll try and include a point on that
Ad a game faction, I'm never particularly fond of GSC; the models need to be distinct, I understand, but they are often ugly, too me, in a way that says "these never blended in with a community", and they often lack a certain amount of punch. In lore, though, I think they are cool, and while I don't always understand how they work; what's the range of a Brood Mind? Would each planet have a Patriarch, or can its effect cover systems, and each cult still maintains only one?, but they are interested device. I didn't take into account that more cults were multi-planet, so that's what I designed for my Rogue Trader verse. The Cult of the Scattered Seedlings isn't focused on one world, or even any world, but instead within a voidship that plies my Koronus Expanse. This grants them a unique mobility, allowing the central element to avoid getting cornered on on planet, and they can seed a colony on any sphere they visit. Their goal is to touch enough planes in the region to try and make a signal strong enough to attract their gods, even through all the Warp storms that surround the Koronus Expanse, and with the limited Imperial presence, they have a shot.
Love thy Scholar, For he is the Salvation of Mankind Obey his word, For he will lead you into the light of the Future Head his Wisdom, For he will Protect you from Evil Whisper his prayers with Devotion, for they will save your soul Honor his servants, For they speak with his voice Tremble before his majesty, For we all walk in his immortal shadow
It would seem to be a combination of genetics, psychic susceptibility and the ever-present fact that most of the lore is Imperium Centric. After doing some reading, there may have been an incident where Tau were in fact targeted by Genestealer. The hive mind gains Nothing by going after the necrons and any orc genestealer would likely be killed for not being orc enough.
Other races are either immune, or have means to detect them before they become a problem. Human society is full of both literal and figurative nooks and crannies for a cult to hide in.
They don’t. They try to infiltrate eldar(breed too slow), ork (notice the weird acting orks) and tau (culturally too close to not notice and also tiny in comparison to other empires). Humans are just easy targets, lots of humans and ignored by their peers
@flinus4237 I find it hilarious that the Genestealer's imperative to go unnoticed and not cause trouble until Ascension Day actually works against them in the case of the Orks. A Genestealer infected Ork becomes more docile and is suddenly not able to compete against its peers. So, Ork society doesn't need to really hunt Genestealer Cultists down. Their society just does what comes naturally and weeds out those who can't survive.
Wait, I thought the nids had a limited range on their connections and gene stealers range is even smaller. how can they be spreading across multiple planets? If a person is loyal yes they can leave and function independently but that loyalty can wane over time and recruiting new people on the planet isn't possible without the psychic connection.
The patriarch supplies that, and genestealers work alittle differently than normal nids. Less reliant on the hivemind tho some will have that connection
@@heboric6136 I do understand that. My issue is I was lead to believe that the patriarch distance probably doesn't even cover a whole planet. And even if it could there is like no chance it reaches to other planets. But part of the video talks about a single group controlling multiple planets.
Gene stealers will stow away with the cultists and when on a different world 1 will become a new patriarch and mini hive mind for that world@@xavierdoesntmatter
Careful, oh scholar, for making such long in-vidCast-ads could be seen as heresy. The Emperor provides all what a humble servant of the Imperium needs.
I can't abide by the use of A.I (abominable intelligence) to impersonate an imperial scholar. I'm reporting you to the inquisition. Seriously though sorry man but I just can't support the use of A.I. I loved the voice before I found that out, but with so many people with talent that they developed, it's a little bullshit.

You'd like Arch's Siege of Vraks and Badab War series, they go on for tens of hours.
This channel is awesome for late night lore and chilling 8).
You mean Indoctrination into the Imperial cult brother...
This channel is AI slop. Look at "If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device" instead, because that was made by humans.
@@RanmaSyaoranSaotome the dude still has to write a script.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it! I always try and cover a wide range of the lore, since as you say, there is just so much of it!

Cringe toasters. Praised be the four armed Emperor!
*screaming in hexadecimal*
last time i was this early, i made a horrible overused joke about being this early. The emperor protects!
Now you know how your mom feels getting your brother in the eye
Some say that the 20 primarchs were still around at that time, but who can really say anymore!
The tyranids as they are being cleansed by the marines
And what is my crime? Eating a biomass meal? A succulent biomass meal? I see you know your purging well
That got me good 😂

You're not alone. It is a bit disappointing.
@@Scholarslore Hell yeah, man! Would love for you to voice more stuff, but it's up to you how much you wanna do that. I think it would be cool tho
Keep in mind time spent voicing the scripts is time not spent writing new ones.
@Scholarslore I liked what I heard of the other, deeper AI voice you used before the ad
Genestealer-cults, Chaos-Cults, Life and die as a work Labourer for the Imperium or become just a servitor ....so many good opportunities to chose from in these future! 🙂
Honestly life doesn't seem so bad in 40k with all those tremendously fulfilling options
@@Scholarslore exactly 🙂
Isn’t it true that sometimes the hive mind won’t actually sever the connection to the cultists, so the cultists actually think that they are ascending instead of being eaten? It can only be described as an act of mercy
I have seen it both ways, some books say that the hivemind does cut the connection some other say they don't
I mean, it's all conjecture, not like any cultists survive to tell the tale. So up to the author and how brutal they want to be.
I think I've heard that before somewhere, but can't remember the source. The codex always pushes the whole "severed connection" point though, so I like to stick with that
Whatever it is it's a brilliant tactic. The progeny of an insect empire has conquering another race as food in their DNA. And plays perfectly on human psychology as a religion for ascendance.
One of the coolest fictional creatures/race lol
Yes, and sometimes the Hive Fleets will even allow the Cultists ships to travel with them or ahead of them.
Moniker “Xeno-Tzar” goes hard, ngl
Its a sick name
The Great Work was probably one of my favourite books. Excellent story of a genestealer cult and my favourite arch magos. Thank you for another great lecture dear Scholar 💀💜
I also quite enjoyed that one! Though I was really into the Pharos Device stuff, but in any case, thank you for your kind comment!
Yeah the Necron technology is really interesting stuff 😊
Love the GSC lore, I like the idea of a future with armies using super technology to fight and the population rising to attack their oppressors with what they have
Ayyyy We are getting a 40k lore video on monday morning lets go.
No time like a crisp autumnal morning for some good old lore
2:42 enjoying a succulent biomass?!
What am I being eradicated for? Enjoying a meal? A succulent biomass meal? This is Theocratic Ollgarchy manifest
Sentence for enjoying some succulent biomass? Headlock
Get in the soup!
It's too warm 😩
I find the Sons of Jormungandr to be an interesting GSC who don’t wait to be eaten on a planet.
Indeed! I'm looking forward to covering the smaller cults at some point, and I'll deffo give them some time to shine in that one
A genestealer cult on Terra. The same Terra that the Emporer and the Custodes are on. Genestealer Custodes when?
Hopefully soon!
Never lol. Custodes biology wouldn't allow it.
Thank you for the excellent sermon Reverend.
Thank you for listening!
Your lore videos are always a welcome treat to my day
The Emperor protects; the four armed Emperor.
Your voice is great. If that is yours during the advertisement. You write great scripts.
This is a good day! I'm gonna listen to this and the newest Vox in the Void right after this. So happy!!
Glad to hear it, hope you enjoy them both!
@Scholarslore I did. I actually had to put my 12 year old dog down so those videos helped me on an emotional level lol. Thank you😊
4:00 Damn, and here i was thinking Sir David Attemborough was an undercover 40K lore scholar lol :D
I wander what happens when genestealer cults "find" each other. Are they gonna fight, or what?
Depends on a lot of things. Once they realise what they are, they may well see one another as kindred spirits and ally. They may alternatively see one another other as perverted versions of the ‘true’ faith.

Machamp has never been the same since entering the 40k universe
All hail the Scholar.
The King is back!
i wish the audio were a bit louder
Tyranids- I'm on The human side. I love them, but they think they can keep all that biomass to themselves? No sir.

That Vincent Price-y voice has me excited for even more spooky topics 👍😃!

Obey his word, For he will lead you into the light of the Future
Head his Wisdom, For he will Protect you from Evil
Whisper his prayers with Devotion, for they will save your soul

Tremble before his majesty, For we all walk in his immortal shadow
They need to do something to nerf the Tyranids.

Hi everyone
Why do Genestealers ONLY go after human worlds?
It would seem to be a combination of genetics, psychic susceptibility and the ever-present fact that most of the lore is Imperium Centric. After doing some reading, there may have been an incident where Tau were in fact targeted by Genestealer. The hive mind gains Nothing by going after the necrons and any orc genestealer would likely be killed for not being orc enough.
Other races are either immune, or have means to detect them before they become a problem.
Human society is full of both literal and figurative nooks and crannies for a cult to hide in.

Great script. AI does great job. This and Eidothea are mine favorite.
He do great job with the IA. It needs skills to do good things with it. Garbage IA is something common.
”Three more of the largest genestealer Cults”, so are these competing for places 1st to 3rd or are they ranked 4th to 6th?
Gsc ❤
Stop with the piano!!!
He does it to stop the algorithm from identifying his AI stolen voices.
Careful, oh scholar, for making such long in-vidCast-ads could be seen as heresy. The Emperor provides all what a humble servant of the Imperium needs.
I appreciate you use ai voice over but refrain (I hope and assume) from using that garbage ai script writing 😂
Damn, Communist in 40k
So... don't use an AI voice?
fk i hate the ads, guess they use a chill voice atleast 😢
I pay TH-cam to not have ads. Sponsorship ads mid content is scummy
you are watching 48 minutes of free content. dont be so entitled
Sadly, the massive add ruined the entire flow and mood.
