The setting of 40k takes place in a Grimdark future of our own Milky way, but why does nobody ever seem to leave the hellhole for greener pastures in a new galaxy?

There being nothing but Tyranids out there is horrifying. Imagine the Milky Way is the last bastion of life, completely encircled, with literally nothing left.
That would be (IMO) Bad
And not Bad as a Good Thing
But Bad as a Very Bad Decision they could do
It would mean that The Tyrannids are LITERALLY the Winners
As stopping an Entire Universe of Tyranids would be LITERALLY impossible
@@aleanddragonITA The Milky Way would have to be a fucking Super Fortress to withstand this for a while a full fleet of tyranids
I don't know if the emperor would even know how to stop it
I don't even know if the old ones could do it (skeptical about the old ones because they probably could destroy them)
@@aleanddragonITA yeah,they would write themselves into a corner with that,there’s probably an unimaginable number of nids out there and they pose a massive threat but they can’t be all there is
Orks are there too
"Millenia ago, a probe was sent out from Terra, its mission to reach the utmost limit of the universe. The Techpriests who built it hoped that it would someday return to its place of origin. The probe still sends back faint signals after 14,000 years adrift. To the utter despair of the Imperial Techpriests who monitor the incessant battery of incoming signals, many are identified as Orkish. The depressing conclusion for mankind can only be that wherever they travel in space, there's a good chance that the Orks will either have been there first or won't be long in arriving."
Maybe not literally last as in the entire universe, because that's a huge stretch that honestly kinda destroys the suspension of disbelief, but rather maybe last in our supercluster.
"I can't believe Horus commited so much heresy!! anyway, bring me my 40,000 warhammers"
- The God Emperor of Mankind
And then he manned all over those xenos.
@@casketbase7750 when he said its manning time it was truly one of the holy momen of all time
the cinema: 😮
When the Emperor went all man against Horus that was such a grim dark moment
This is exactly what 40k is lol
What if Imperial probe scans outside the galaxy mistook Tyranids for Orks, because they hadn't encountered Tyranids yet and just read "big scary Horde".
Oh oh
It make sense
Check this out

Here's another idea. What if it is Orks, but they are detected by the probes as they are in a fight or getting ready to fight.
Orks thrive on conflict, so the orks must be fighting something in the other galaxies to keep them alive for the probes to detect.
The probe was only a scan within the galaxy.
That doesn't seem likely. Orks use conventional communication methods based on electromagnetic radiation. It might be surprising to some that orks bothered to develop long-range communications technology at all - but they actually consider it a vital priority, since you need to have long-range radio in order to shout insults at anyone listening and challenge them to a fight. Tyranids, meanwhile, communicate psychically.
It would make sense that tyranids weren't detected by an automated probe, since you need astropaths to be able to perceive tyranid fleets at a distance. When traveling in dark space, the hive ships are in hibernation, and although they would be slightly warmer than the void around them, they wouldn't have nearly as strong an emissions signature as ork ships and settlements. Ork settlements are mostly powered by biofuels and nuclear reactors, and put out a lot of waste heat and other emissions even if the orks aren't actively broadcasting at the moment.
The Craftworld Eldar did want to leave the Milky Way Galaxy but was dissuaded, fearing that Slaanesh and his/her/its fellow Chaos Gods will follow them to another galaxy and corrupt it with their presence too as well.
Ummm sweety, Slaanesh's preferred pronouns are they/them.
Does the web way even get that far?
@@ao1778 and the craft worlders want the pronouns to be was and were
@@ao1778 fr you trying to do that🤣
@@louisnall3102 No lmao only the local galaxy.
My favorite fan theory, to explain both the distance from other galaxies, the calmness of the warp, and the nids themselves; he nids are manufactured bio security. Essentially, after or during the war in heaven and subsequent corruption of the warp in the Milky way galaxy, some incredibly advanced race realized that the warp was being corrupted and created the tyranids to quarantine the Milky way off from the rest of the universe. They destroyed all life immediately surrounding the milky way, than entered into hibernation for an increase in severity. In current lore, the chaos gods are getting ever stronger (or at least more influential), and the hive fleets were sent to destroy, or at least reduce life in the Milky way to reduce the amount of life that chaos can draw power upon. This explains the few hive fleets to arrive in the Milky way, but more are on the way. In the event that chaos compeletly takes over, and literal hell breaks loose, then the entire nid foce will enter and consume all life in the milky way and suppress the warp back to a more manageable level.
This theory both contains an explanation for why the nids are seemingly everywhere, but so focused on the Milky way and yet not arriving in force. Also, this gives a take on the omnipotent Hive mind being some sort of Bio computer in charge of the nids. Sure, there are holes to this theory, but it's the one I have found to be the most thought provoking for their arrival, rather than just some arbitrary reason to include them into the setting. This theory also explains why their arrival is only happening now, and not ages ago when the Silent King first encountered them.
TL:DR Tyranids are created bio security, by some super advanced race (possibly some off shoot of the Old Ones), to keep Chaos in the Milky Way.
The problem with that theory is why is the Emperor tripping the switch?
The Pharos beaco during the heresy got thier attention but it is the Emperor's Astromicon that is luring in more and more Tyranids, they WANT the source of that light.
Interesting. . .
Tyranids are, clearly, biological Berserkers.
so a military isolating a city because said city has zombies. That's pretty awesome. It does explain why the nids don't just bulldoze everything.
I like this theory. Perhaps with the hive mind being the last old one and created humanity and Big E as an attempt to get rid of Chaos for good.
The Old Ones while making the Tyranids:
"This galaxy is diseased! Rotten to the core! We have to pull it out by it’s roots, wipe the slate clean, *BURN IT DOWN!* And from the ashes a new galaxy will be born. Evolved but untamed!"
And then the Silent King started punching him a lot.
They shall be our finest warriors, these bugs who give themselves to eating everything. Like pudding we shall mould them and in the furnace of Norn-Queen we shall forge them. In great chitinous armor shall we clad them and with the greatest numbers will they be armed. They will have evolved tactics, strategies and bio-machines that after a couple millions of loses, no foe can best them in battle.They are our bulwark against the Necron. They are the Defenders of the DNA. They are our Space Bugs and they shall know no fear (within proximity of a Hive Tyrant).
- The Old Ones
Does that mean the courier is the enslavers or necrons?
Standing here I realize
The Old Ones didn't make them.
I remember an Episode from StarGate Atlantis, in which the Expedition found a Lantean Ship in the Intergalactic void traveling at 99% of the speed of light(Their FTL drive was destroyed in battle), the ship was traveling for 10,000 years, but because of relativity for them only a few decades have passed.
it wasn't destroyed they just couldn't realistically get back to the milky way because it would have taken thousands of years and the planet that had the super powered gate orbiting a unique star was destroyed
@@arcanegamer2723 The Captain of the that ship said that their FTL was destroyed during a Battle with the Wraith.
@@nobleman9393 Man I loved Stargate.
@@londonspade5896 I like SG Atlantis. For me, alien vampires were bigger threat for humanity (and ancients) than some tribe egyptian parasitic pseudogods. And this idea of being alone in different galaxy, looking for power source just to survive or maybe come back on earth. All the secrets of galaxy and Atlantis Starship. All new races and political stuff. It is similar - they come to different galaxy and wake up ancient space vampires from their nap.
@@Everthus4 Yeah Atlantis was my favourite, I meant I love the Stargate universe (and I liked that series too)
Nothing beats the Wraith as villains for a series
I have a theory that there is sentient life outside the galaxy actively fighting the Tyranids, but they ignored the Silent King and keep jamming Imperium's probes due to them treating The Milky Way as a universal equivalent of an Insane asylum.
Perhaps that is why the nids are sent to the galaxy as well, not because they're going on purpose but rather that the galaxy serves as the universes prison world and thats why everything is so crazy
Fight the dying light to the end is one of the main points of 40k.
Exactly.
But that's also stupid.
@@davidbowles7281 I think it’s cool
That seems off.
I thought it was just edgy grimdark racism that we all love.
@@davidbowles7281 it's a consistent narrative theme that ties in with pre existing lore. You look at this at such a stupid surface level
Warp Travel seems to be limited to the Galaxy, and quite frankly the Dark Space between Galaxies seems to be even more dangerous than anything found in the Milky Way Galaxy, because if the Races of the Grim Darkness of the Future don’t know everything about their own Galaxy much less what outside of it.
Outside of the warm, cosy light of the Milky Way, there's only Grim Darkness.
Looked it up on google.
Milky Way is 100,000 light years wide
Avg distance between galaxies is 9,900,000 LIGHT YEARS!!!
Yeah so basically why would anyone but a necron explore outside of it.
And there’s the fact most races don’t have the time or resources as they’re too busy fucking each other over
It's a theory of mine that one of the lost Legions tried to escape the galaxy and that is the reason why they were purged from the history books
I like to believe 40k end times is Tyranids finally eat everything. All that survives is a few orks who decide this sucks and head off to krump another galaxy. The only reason they reach the next galaxy is because the ork navigator can see the next galaxy through his telescope therefor believes they're almost there. They fight for millions of years in the other galaxy making some of them evolve into krorks... that's when the Tyranids show up to that galaxy and warhammer 4000000000000000 begins.
Ah yes, Warhammer 40Krork-Billion
Damn!
But some sisters of battle must make it, too, else, where am I to find my Battlemace 40 Million Neko Marines?!
When the Nids close down the Big E Black Market Figurine Shop, where would I find my frilly powerarmor wearing Catgirls?!
@@arieshausdorff3396 hmm... I think I know morty plan for his next adventure with his grandpa
warhammer but only with da orks? now that'd be a dream come true.
jokes aside space Shreks being the sole survivors of some insane calamity makes sense.
@@arieshausdorff3396 I'm probably breaking some lore by saying this but the Nids could eventually become anime catgirls after adapting against Slaanesh.
I don't think the old imperial probe lore was false, it's just old, they sent out probes heard brutal organic noises, and probably just assumed orks, more likely it was the not yet encountered tyranids
You can take the Space Marine out of the Milky way, but you can't take the Milky Way out of the Space Marine... or something like that

I feel like the Eldar of craftworlds have probably already left the milkyway with their fate unknown.
Honestly though, I adore the idea that the universe is an apocalyptic eternal war between Orkz and Tyranids with the Milky Way being a peaceful pond in the middle of it all.
a nice comfortable and quaint idea, however in the present and current M.41 setting, the Milky Way is far, far from being peaceful. For one, the ever-present encroachments of Hive Fleets into the galactic core and the presence of massive greenskin incursions into inhabited sectors and sub-sectors and planets makes life and interstellar journeys complicated and fraught with danger.
On the topic of the C'tan, the Outsider is said to have left the Galaxy. Quoting Lexicanum:
"The Outsider is said to have gone into exile outside the Galaxy since then, living within a hollow planet far to the galactic south."
"Joagul Maskelyne, a serviceman of the Imperial Navy encountered the astrological engines and twisted geometries of the Outsider as his naval ship exited the Immaterium near the edge of the galaxy. The experience had weakened his sanity and his will to live. His report has been compiled with another report noting an unusual change of course by Hive Fleet Leviathan. No known celestial phenomena is known to exist in the location of the Hive Fleet's manoeuvre. However, auguries revealed a spherical object of unknown origin. The mere ability to have detected it with reflected light indicated either a measurement 32,000,000 times the size of Terra or an albedo range approaching infinity."
I imagine some Krork would be capable of leaving the galaxy before they all devolved into orks. Would explain why there would be Orks elsewhere.
The Andromeda galaxy is like 2 million lightyears away. So even at FTL travel it would still take thousands of years to get to it, and that's INSANE FTL speed
Video idea: How would each Primarch react and rule the imperium, if they were the one to return first instead of Guilliman
The Crusade never stops
The reason why they dont leave is because the Emperor is going to deal with the tyranids in the same way that he is going to deal with Orks, he is going to turn their greater power aka their hive mind against them, wich most likely will scare off the Tyranid hive mind into leaving the milky way galaxy alone.
Doubtful, as the Tyranids feel no fear. Big E will try to scare off the Tyranids, and then attracted a trillion more, like moths to a flame.
I don't want to be rude to you - but in comparision to all the other stories so far - this would feel like a cheap cop-out from a corner the writers have written themselves into. That would be the literal deus-ex-machina.
@@robertnett9793 I’m purely going off of what lore has been established. Never did I say it was fair, balanced, or even narratively satisfying. It is purely what has been revealed to us thus far
@@robertnett9793
>GOD (Deus) Emperor of mankind strapped to a mechanical golden throne (machina).
40K is literally that for the Imperium.
Can we get a in-depth breakdown of actual pyscher powers, Are they like the force from the Strar Wars or more akin to DND magic?
Short version: all psykers use the warp as a source of energy to manipulate reality, some use established methods (sorcerers and most imperial psykers) others go for more random stuff that either fits their personality (people attuned to nature would for example get an ability to sense what happens in a forest or stuff like that) or is a version of established systems they developed by themselves, often times more unstable. In all of the possibilities, the fundamental nature of the psyker as well as their talent is what influences what kind of powers they'll develop the most, tho weak but very experienced psykers can still outclass powerful but novice ones, so knowledge and experience is also vital. Of course all of this applies to human psykers, Eldar and Ork ones, as well as other races outside the tabletop, work a bit or wildly different (with Orks in particular, they just don't use the warp, but rather the Waaaagh energy), but the general gist of what I wrote still applies. Regarding your question, I'd say neither, and rather refer to Dragon Age, where all mages also channel the energies of an inmaterial realm which is also inhabited by demons that can possess unprepared casters
It only takes a few orks getting to another galaxy to infest that place.
Combine that with the fact that orks ships and space hulks often do not have any idea where they're going it is not unlikely some orks just moved to another galaxy by just going in a straight line until they hit a planet or got there by accident (or the will of Gork and Mork).
I think the orks from the different galaxy are the spores stuck on debris from the war in heaven that went flying/drifted out the galaxy. they became inactive due to the lack of sun and they were nothing but spores. which cause the tyranids not even bothering with them as they float/fly in the void. and when they entered a new galaxy with active suns. they started growing and spreading again. they could either be krorks or weaker ork due to inactivity for millions of years. but will soon adapt depending on their level of enemies.
Not enough time passed for debris to reach anything outside the milky way ... 60mil years is nothing on a galaxy scale.
@@MrFallenone There's plenty of warp based fuckery that you could explain it as being teleported out and/or propelled at massively FTL speeds
Kinda surprised you didn't mention that one C'tan that peaced out of the milky way during the war in heaven when his brothers started infighting. Im struggling to remember his name/backstory tho, though I think it was the Outsider? Either way, there's a full-fledged unshattered C'tan out there in the void somewhere, although whether that's better or worse than an innumerable amount of Tyranid, I can't say.
I still hold out that one of the lost primarchs is outside of the galaxy somewhere building his own imperium because he is either unable to return for some reason, or believes the IoM to no longer exist.
as far as the orks go, i would think their extremely unreliable teleport tech would be a pretty good explanation as to how they left the galaxy. imo.
That or they pointed the ship the wrong way and whoever was navigating said they were almost there, whole ship bought into and boom they're in another galaxy
I love this channel. Lore videos that don't take up an entire afternoon funded by warhammer porn. truly the youtube channel of all time
Majorkill, make a video about the biggest rivalries between space marines.
Not related to the video at all Majorkill but, I've been dealing with your customer support for about the last week( there was a bit of a snafu with the calendar I ordered). And I must say it has been an immense joy dealing with them. Very professional and polite, timely responses with the email even though yall are 13 hours ahead of me. And like I said in my last email I will definitely be giving yall my business in the future. Hope everything is going great with the release of the new website cheers and best of luck mate!
I would really like to hear the warhammer 40k explanation for the huge voids we currently see and the fact that some of them are so nearly special.
@Majorkill I know you probably won’t ever see this but are one of the few TH-camrs that have managed to keep my interest over the past couple of months. Thank you for your hilarious and entertaining content. You’ve made some of my pretty shitty days better with your content. Thank you.
Yes 🛐
Can you make a video about what kind of a person you are based on what army you collect?
Everyone knows the reason. The great hyperspace rift. Covered in the book “outbound flight”.
The Orks would have to build a really "speshul" Mega-Wormyhole Tellyporta like from the Beast Attack Moons to portal over to another galaxy, but they'd need a Freaking Krork Mekboy to do it.
So there is a possibility that humans can exist beyond the milky way
Absolutely.
From isolated colony worlds, or even a single habitat type space station, to a full K2 / K3 class civilization you can have literally anything. All the species in the milkyway have their heads so deep up their collective asses that none of them takes the time to step back, take a look and see how much better stuff they could do when they'd be willing to drop traditional design philosophies. But as we see with real world humanity, realizing one is on the wrong lane and actually deciding to do something agaisnt it are two steps that seem to be utterly exotic and incomprehensible even in concept to people in power.
So, about humans outside the galaxy:
There are many factors of why they would do their utmost best to stay away from the shitshow the Milkyway has become:
1) They were interested in stuff not okay during the DAOT. With the IOM being very strict about a lot of things... When you fled the Commonwealth of Man, you have even more reasons to stay away from IOM. And I am not worried about the mental health of your toasters here.
2) Any mixed society - humans and aliens, humans and geners, AI/AC, uplifts and baseline humans, whatever - will have perfect reasons to get even further away from the IOM than they were from anything ever before.
3) As we can, with our current technology, build stuff that would make the IoM piss its pants and which would be on a level with the Necrons toys, such a group also has a good reason to get more distance between itself and the IoM and the other species: As not to pour even more oil into the fire.
So, yes, you can have a lot out there between the galaxy and its satellites and even beyond that.
If I remember correctly there was the Herrman von Salza, an armed colony vessel around M11, which used a non-warp FTL drive.
It had the speed to cross the galaxy within a few years, just the way it travelled irradiated everything so strongly inside it that no matter what, the crew would be either hideously mutated or simply fried even after just a day of travel.
So, great drive system, well capable to reach other places like even other galaxies. Just you would literally have to either go with a full AI crew or would have to make tiny hops, always going from one star system to the next, to build your bridge to another galaxy, waiting for a new generation between hops. Or maybe make that better some generations for damages to the genome to heal.
So, possible it is.
Imagine that A.I. ship formed into Mass Effect like Reapers, returned to Milky-way to cleanse it.
8:58
C’tan of andromeda: yo how’s it going bud?
C’tan of the Milky Way: Run! Before they enslave you run!
The Nids are EVERYWHERE. That’s why.
Orks you could justify because they are not the best prepared space voyagers. Mostly due to them hopping on whatever space hulk they can find and let Gork and Mork guide them. So if they ended up outside the galaxy that could be the reason.
Theyre everywhere
"Millenia ago, a probe was sent out from Terra, its mission to reach the utmost limit of the universe. The Techpriests who built it hoped that it would someday return to its place of origin. The probe still sends back faint signals after 14,000 years adrift. To the utter despair of the Imperial Techpriests who monitor the incessant battery of incoming signals, many are identified as Orkish. The depressing conclusion for mankind can only be that wherever they travel in space, there's a good chance that the Orks will either have been there first or won't be long in arriving."
For me the old lore terminator necrons wanting to eradicate life are better threat than the tyranids in the terms of esthetic. The cold unstoppable machines are more frightening that tonnes of small bugs. In my opinion, it would be much cooler if the nids would be more than just bugs (although, a perfect adaptable bio-machinery). For example, a fusion of Nurgle and the nids would do the trick (and this stuff exists in the lore to some extend).
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about at least one orc warband going off to fight the Nids outside of the galaxy. Maybe they got there after a bad warp jump
It's spelled Orks, at least i think that it is. And it was a tellyporta malfunction jump .
4:01 this was the most sensible ‘tantrum’ possibly ever thrown
I love how the Necrons be like:
Leave this galaxy? Hell nah, this shit is ours!
I think out there are more of those unknown warp horrors not affiliated with the 4 gods, like the watcher in the rain or the shadow creatures of "a way out".
Sometimes it feels like the only way the "Morally Prosperous" species could survive and dominate Chaos, Orks and Tyrannids, is to somehow form some type of alliance between Imperium, Eldars, Tau's and Necrons (and maybe Dark Eldars ? Or maybe better not) ? It would be a 4/5 parties conflict. Does it make sense imagining that in the future of this universe ?
The Tyranid lore also says that the Milky Way galaxy is likely the last one which also means that if they did leave the galaxy there is nothing to even go to
The 40k galaxy is the last bastion of life essentially
whoua j'ai pas tout pigé mais ton étagère, les grosses armes, l'ambiance est fantastique !
The other galaxies are like * oh that's the bad place, roll the windows up, lock the doors, and don't tell them we are here*.
Meanwhile in post scarcity Andromeda galaxy with DAOT humanity and Eldar
I've been reading the Commissar Cain: Hero of the Imperium set of books, and the Genestealers never fail to give me the shudders.
I remember reading somewhere that there ARE Orks in the void and they are the size of planets. Because an ork will grow in size indefinitely and can survive the vacuum of space this is entirely plausible lore.
I mean they do keep growing IIRC but their size is also dependent on being seen as strong by others
I imagine even if the Tyranids were not so much of a threat, the fact is, the Milky Way Galaxy is absolutely fuck-huge. It's a medium sized one compared to others, but even after 48,000 years of exploration, Mankind is still discovering new worlds on the fringes.
Consider, the distance between our galaxy and the nearest is the Andromeda Galaxy, which is 2.5 million lightyears away. That means moving at the speed of light would take millions of years to reach it.
Moving through the Warp, which encompasses the entire universe, well... that would be stupid in the extreme to try.
Being outside the Astronomicon beacon, in the dark void where even the light of stars does not reach? Yowza.
Need more content about the outside of the 40k galaxy
🎉🎉🎉
Since you made Seth‘s video about warp entities that aren’t aligned with chaos. I’d like to propose a video idea of my own. About what remains of and references to ‘our’ era and earlier things from earth in the time of 40K. That’s something I’ve been interested in for a long time.
PS: Majorkill please tell me if you see this comment. So I know the idea is in your head.
Bot 💀
Can we get a video on more BDSM please? Preferably with MK demonstrations possibly in leather…I feel it would be educational somehow.
This.
Majorkill onlyfans when?
heresy begets more heresy...
Rak'gol and many halo star stuff are possibly from outside the galaxy.
thanks for giving me that juicy lore I was getting into this world building and the way you talk about it is fucking gold
Part of space being dead is what I like to crossover with dead space.
The thrill of the fight. What else even is there?
once again, it's a real shame that there isn't more hard science in some of 40k's writing. Most of what Issaac Arthur talks about in his vid is a lot simpler than a lot of what goes on in 40k.
The mechanicum/mechanicus/dark mechanicum military forces video would be a nice addition to your portfolio
I mean seriously, the immaterium tear is RIGHT there, just pack up and move to andromeda. Stellar Engines bay beeeee!
I love how the 40k galaxy is the most horrific and fucked up place ever yet it's still called the milky way
All this talk about ships makes me want an update on that servitor ship just fucking around in space.
Keep growing those subscriptions dude you deserve them! These videos are great
The Empire vs Imperium!

Everyone died of old age in the end.
Nightlords Navigator didn’t need the Astronomicon
Everyone has an investment in the Galaxy. Even the forces of Chaos would rather see the Galaxy burn than have the Nids have a bite.
Kinda wanna see all the factions team up in a last stand against the tyranids
Ayyyyyyyooooooo how’s it going majorkill I hope your having an amazing day and I would like to know when the next collaboration with weshammer will happen and also thank you for sending tips to other Warhammer because I’m sure weshammer isn’t the only TH-camr you’ve helped get their channel started
So, here's my thing. I don't think the tyranids are as infinite as we are hyping them up to be.
I also believe the silent king/GW is full of crap. And here's why: the distances between galaxies are fuck off levels of vast. Like so fucking vast that even at the speed of light it would take longer than it takes to beat the actual shit out of Timmy. And to cross said distance would REQIURE the nids to move far in excess of the speed of light. And sure as fuck faster than we have seen them move in the setting. Which if that were true they'd all have descended upon the galaxy much longer ago, instead of trickling in hive fleet by hive fleet. It's a hive mind.
That being said. There are ~59 dwarf galaxies orbiting/near the Milky way galaxy. Which the nids and silent king could much more reasonably (still insane)go to and consume the life of and it wouldn't be a lie on GW's part because those are galaxies. Just small ones. 😊
What about the Votann? They don't rely on the warp, they have technology to travel vast distances & survive harsh steller environments. Said ultra technological spaceships can survive the crushing gravity and phenomenon in the galactic core, perhaps it could travel the void of space?
Not to mention (which is explicitly stated in the codex) that some votann and leagues are entirely ship bound, alongside being literal databases of how to make literally anything, including the reproduction of the species.
Alongside that, being explorers and inquisitive is part of their culture, they also show the nids a great deal of respect and caution.
While they probably haven't went outside the galaxy, because they already have ao much space to travel from thr center as it is. I think the kin are the next most likely to successfully make it out of the milky way.
Off the top of my head, the structures and beliefs of the Imperium, the goals of the various races, all the horrors of the halo stars, all the tyranids you run into on the way out, sand.
Congratulations on 400,000 you big strong martial arts throwing people person.
A part two video on Urda.
I’m yet to stop, I will ask in every video Lord Majorkill.
5:08 a yes the eye of terra!
There are stars coalescing between Andromeda and the Milky Way as our galaxies maneuver towards each other and reach out. So there is currently a bridge of stellar systems forming between the two galaxies.
it does not matter how fast you go in 40K without the astronomicon you can't catch up to the other galaxies because they move away from you faster than the speed of light
"Don't even provide dental"... My job doesn't provide dental. ☹️
I believe the battleship in the thumbnail comes equipped with a custom sacred Archeotech bass boost to the intercom music system as they crank it up to drown out the nerds being devoured.
I love the idea of Orks just being a species throughout the galaxy that the old lore suggested
For someone to have run into Tyranids between galaxies, there would need to basically be an infinite amount of them. And when I say infinite, I mean literal infinite. The universe is vast beyond comprehension. As it stands, there is so much space in the universe, that you could close your eyes, pick a random direction and NEVER run into any other object, ever.
Didn't the Space Sharks went into deep space at one point and found something more horrible than Chaos?
Lets say we try to travel to the closest big galaxy to the Milky Way; Andromeda.
The space between galaxies is not empty, there are countless stars and also a few dozen dwarf galaxies. With the advanced technology in 40k it's quite likely all of those have been mapped, so in theory you could travel to those stars and dwarf galaxies, replenishing resources of a generation-ship along a route to get to Andromeda.
So the only real problem to solve is navigation through the warp once leaving the range of the Astronomicon.
If we could solve that problem I wouldn't be at all surprised if you were to get to the Andromeda galaxy that you meet humans who arrived there during the Dark Age of Technology because why wouldn't humanity attempt to colonise another galaxy at the height of their technological might?
Hey man love your vids! A question. Could tyranids evolve a anti teleport weapon so necrons cant teleport away when they are wounded?
Does it really matter? Once the Nids flooded every Tombworld there's really no place to fall back for the Necrons...
Damn majorkill just pumping out video after video
i didn't know you liked the 'moist one' respect
I feel like the 40k universe is just "Sunk cost fallacy, the universe"
Everyone: "We are stuck here together, lets fight for it"
R2-D2 wannabe: "SAYANORA NI-"
thank the maker for R3-D3 model units....
How much you want to bet that there's just one really big tyranid (probably itself the size of a galaxy) outside the galaxy?
*packs bags and goes to the star wars galaxy*
The Norn contingent existed for a decade and a half before Halo was invented, so it's weird to see someone suggest Tyrannids are somehow plagiarising Halo. Alien? Sure. Halo? Not so much. Maybne the other way round. But yes - the biggest reason no one just 'leaves the galaxy' in 40k is that we know all the Norn activity we HAVE encountered in the galaxy is a tiny, tiny fraction of the Norn contingent that exists - it's the 40k of the Dark Forest Hypothesis - the rest of the universe is even more inhospitable to life because there are things out there that have only not killed and eaten us now because they just haven't found us.
Aliens in othe galaxies are like don't let them get off they're boats
''why doesn't everybody just leave?''......i dont think most people understand JUST HOW VAST the distance is between our galaxy and even the closest neighboring galaxy. its so incomprehensibly far away that I don't even know if the warp extends to outside the milky way....and traveling across the empty void even in Light speed or hell even some form of FTL (unless its instant travel FTL like homeworld) would just take so fucking long that anyone left alive would not even remember why they are out in the deep in the first place. also just like...the logistics of moving even a small fraction of humanity...good luck with that.
Basically the universe is one giant fight between orks and nids and the Milky Way is just a small skirmish between insignificant groups on a cosmic scale.
Just a side note: There ARE stars between galaxies, just as there are planets outside solar systems. There's just WAY less of them.
The extra galactic probe that picked up Orks visited the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy. This galaxy is sitting partially inside the Milky Way, and many astronomers consider it to be part of the Milky Way and prefer to call it the “Canis Major Overdensity”.
Basically I think that snippet of lore shouldn’t be taken to mean that Orks exist in other galaxies like Andromeda. Instead it just means that they can spread everywhere.
Leaving the Galaxy? Sounds like the Andromeda move
You had me at, "Guys and girl".
