Well you better work for it, cause it won't be easy, and you best set up warding runes along your highways unless you want infernal creatures breaching in and use that portal to invade your world."

The T'au are the closest to classic scifi FTL and yet they thought it was a good idea to observe and try to reverse engineer an Imperium warp drive. ....They found bone matter inside of it.
They eventually developed a massive space structure that holds basically a stable worm hole gate through the warp between two fixed points. The 4th expansion fleet that were the first to go through it when it was made had a VERY bad time, but the 5th fleet worked out the issues, and now the Tau have a little expanded empire sphere on the complete other side of the galaxy.

The way I understand it; In the warp, left might mean down and right may be back in time. If it's calm, that just stays consistent. A warp current is that direction faster. You're going that direction, or fighting that force. A turbulent warp or warp storm are currents that change fast. They're bad because that shear force may have the left half of your ship going forward and the right half going back in time.
It's seems like the warp was a lot calmer place before the Slaanesh storm after the dark age. There are references to human worlds beyond the light of the astronomicon. Golden age ships either had just straight up better Gellar fields that didn't need navigators or it was just easier. Probably something like what pertty made for magnus before he broke it.
@@dakotawharton From the sound of it I imagine the Golden Age ships used what the Votann have in combination with calmer Warp, it was just easier to travel through the warp back then technologically.
The best example of warp travel is the opening to darktide mild turbulence then everything is purple and your seat is made of tentacles then snaps back to reality as you translate out of the warp.

Best way I've had a Gellar field explained to me is that it's less of a garden fence, and more of a lawn. Also 21:51 so by extension of this analogy, it could be said that space hulks are like the garbage patches in our oceans.
"Oh boy I sure do love travelling throught the warp its so safe and reliable, by the way does anyone else taste metal, having triple vision, seeing themselves as a baby and a old man and hearing wispers in a language you dont understand yet do somehow . . ." "What no Im fine . . . Just curious"
In a short story with Emperors Children there is an astropath that falls to Slaanesh and is so obsessed with his appearance that he crashes his ship when they leave the warp, he's so disgusting that slaves and caretakers cut off their noses so they don't have to smell him, and a rival EC warband's own astropath becomes a semi sentient flesh pile that merged with the ship, and when she dies they're stuck on they planet they landed on.

"bearers" not bears. people who carry the stuff. also originally during the DAoT and great crusade the refueling teams would have used heavily armored suits with built in force fields for protection. these suits formed the basis of the original terminator armor designs. But by M41 such protective suits basically don't exist anymore.
I always thought of the astronomican as more of a lighthouse or North Star for navigators. Not showing them directly where to go but act as a beckon and be one visible constant point in the warp to orientate yourself with.
Yeeeeeesss? It's less the conveyance, and more the perception of the warp that's unique. One paints in blood, another saw it as a forest, a thirsty could see it as visible light, another still could perceive it as sound.
My understanding of Warp travel is that the bulk of the Imperium's merchant fleet (which is actually the majority of Imperial ships) rely primarily on blind jumps. They utilize Warp lanes, which are historically "calm" regions of the Warp they can jump through without the need of a Navigator. Navigators are reserved for vessels that do not frequently follow set routes, such as warships, Rogue Trader vessels, or Inquisitorial black ships (which are different from the Astra Telepathica black ships, confusingly). There are also still Imperial ships that have no Warp capability whatsoever, usually from either more primitive but still industrialized worlds or from worlds that are so close that sub-light travel only takes a few years.
I love geoer fields being sleeping psykers. Having a man made Azathoth from lovecraft being the key is really cool to me. Warp travel is very naval coded. So it tracks that warp storms are very similar to tropical storms. A storm massive and intense that travel is near impossible and if big enough can cause significant damage to mainland areas. But once they hit land the storm starts dropping in strength and will end much sooner. Very similar to a hurricane.
*Suddenly realizes a warp drive is just an altar that is charged up by human sacrifices and just pops the ship back and forth from the warp but doesn't move it or do anything else. Looks around ship wondering if it's also snapping up the souls of anyone else who dies...*
Writing my book listening about the warp and than suddenly paying attention as they are speaking about elders boinking it in a home.... God damn i love this channel
You can fly through the warp in the wake of another ship, so if you have a fleet of ships you could get away with just having one ship with Navigators (probably the biggest).
0:44 I really do appreciate Shy with the ELLEN JOE warhammer theme poster, and even including herself as a bangboo unit from ZZZ! Well done, Shy and everyone else!
UNSC: We punch a hole into an alternate dimension to travel faster than the speed of light. It's very dangerous if something bad happens. Imperium: *lighthearted chuckle* That's cute.
My favorite and both most and least accurate description of the warp: "The common mode of space travel in setting is literally ripping a hole into hell, flying into it, and then ripping your way back out...all while a likely crazy man is at the wheel, and you are praying not that you survive, nor even you arrive exactly at your destination and/or on time...no you pray to your God(s) that nothing notices you on the way, and no one is dumb or crazy enough to let any hitchhikers tag along" In unrelated notes a key horror aspect my freind wrote for his naucent psyker char in rouge trader is that "something" did notice him the first warp jump he had made and since has been stalking him...slowly growing closer and closer, only he senses it...and it just follows him across the galaxy (explaining why he is tagging along with the party to the most dangerous spaces across the galaxy) he is terrified if he ever stops for a particularly long period of time it catches up to him.
Cant remember where I read it, but I remember a part in a book where an imperium fleet was responding to an emergency, got caught in a storm and arrived at a planet weeks before the emergency signal even went off
SPOILER FOR AHRIMAN SERIES . . . . . Ahriman teams up with some loyalist marines whose chapter has been wiped of by the inquisition and takes the librarian as an apprentice. Later it turns out him siding with ahriman and warp fuckery cause the kill order back in time. So because his chapter got killed he became a chaos sorcerer but because he became a chaos sorcerer his chapter died. Now he hates ahriman.
Because I read it recently, the source for the comatose psyket inducing the gellar field is Flight of the Eisenstein. And they also do an emergency return to real space from a failure of said Gellar field by using a gravitational well. Aka you cna only jump OUT easily if there is something like the gravity of a a star system to helo you pull out.
5:23 um akctually bricky. The Tau do use the warp. They just don't have navigators. Instead of doing full warp dives like humanity do, the Tau skim along the edge of warp space, never going deep but still using it for short hops. There are actually 2 methods of Tau FTL that both use the warp. The gravitic drive that skims that warp along the space between realspace and the warp and the slipstream module that actually enters the warp (kind of abandoned after it created the startide nexus) Source: Battlefleet gothic: armada and the 8th ed. Tau codex by way of the lexecanium.
Hot Air Balloons use air currents at different elevations, and the Astronomicon is more like the North Star... except it can't be obscured. ... The ending was hilarious! 😅
Warpsrorm Time Shift example: The Ork Warboss who exited the Warp before he had entered it, tracked himself down and killed himself, so he could have two of his favorite Shoota.
The thing about the need for psykers in the gellarfield engine was a continuity error in the indomidus lore if I am not very mistaken. Because gellar fields existed before humanity discovered psykers it kinda doesnt make sense that they would always need psykers to fuel the field. So GW changed that lore bit that humanity forgot how to fix the gellar fields properly so they came up with the psyker dream fix.
Meanwhile all the Azure Lane and Kancolle fans are salivating, and thus the tradition of the captain being married to his ship is continued even in the dark future.
imagine a crew on a ship that travels through the warp and ends up in a warp ship graveyard, where the dead souls on board loudly sing horrible space shanties from other languages, or multiple centuries in the past or futures, and to the crew's horror, some of the ones they can understand have certain words and themes swapped out to portend horrible imminent doom. Maybe during a crusade, a ship and its crew are on the brink of death, during their lowest point, and they make an emergency jump into the warp, only to hear ghostly singing coming from an eerily similar vessel to their own...
This has been brought up in Weshammer's videos. There IS such a place in realspace in 40K. No one wants to find out what it looks like on the immaterial side.
The table top rogue trader rpg mentions most lesser chaos ships make sacrifices to bargain with demons. It also mentions the bloody painting navigator rite and some less wholesome ones
Audio file recovered from the Tau warp drive project: Human: “You turned on the Gellar field, right?” Tau: “What’s a Gellar field?” Daemon of Chaos: *crashes through wall* “Hey kids, wanna see a dead body!?” Humans and Tau: “Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!” Audio file recovered from an Ork ship: Daemon 1: *to the Chaos Gods* “GetmeoffthisshipRightNow! I’m serious this thing has Orks on i-Aaaaah!” *Gets killed by Ork* Tuska: *rips and tears to singing Do You believe in magic* Daemon 2: “Is that a camera? What kind of sadistic retard watches this crap?!” Khorne: “Love this show.”
I mentioned this on a previous episode but it's also relevant here: according to everything I could find on it, the Tau use the warp for faster than light communication, but not so much for travel. They have AI piloted drone space ships that can do all the same navigating of the warp that the imperial navigators do, but since it's just a machine with no souls aboard the warp entities can't really tell the difference between it and an asteroid. So even though they don't have Gellar field tech they can still send these AI messenger ships loaded up with data and communications through the warp from system to system. It's basically a self driving mail truck flying through the warp all sneaky like.
For traveling outside the galaxy via warp travel, the astronomican doesnt reach far enough to leave and there arent any currents out there, so ships become becalmed if they go to far out and get stuck forever
I vaguely remember modern ships under Guilliman having dust from the emperor's throne and the skeleton of a blank encased into a casket to form the gellar field, instead of sacrificing psykers.

Best way I've had a Gellar field explained to me is that it's less of a garden fence, and more of a lawn.
Also 21:51 so by extension of this analogy, it could be said that space hulks are like the garbage patches in our oceans.
To summarize ... The gellar field is like jack Sparrow putting dirt on the ship so that Davy Jones can't Land on it
"Oh boy I sure do love travelling throught the warp its so safe and reliable, by the way does anyone else taste metal, having triple vision, seeing themselves as a baby and a old man and hearing wispers in a language you dont understand yet do somehow . . ."
"What no Im fine . . . Just curious"
Bricky not knowing Mulan hurts
In a short story with Emperors Children there is an astropath that falls to Slaanesh and is so obsessed with his appearance that he crashes his ship when they leave the warp, he's so disgusting that slaves and caretakers cut off their noses so they don't have to smell him, and a rival EC warband's own astropath becomes a semi sentient flesh pile that merged with the ship, and when she dies they're stuck on they planet they landed on.
I belive the short story is "A More Perfect Union" and its novel "Lord of Excess"
Warp travel is one the coolest things in the setting. Makes travel in fiction both fast and eventful.
Well that was one *banger* of an ending to the episode
Daemons to most ships: *banging on the Geller field* “Let me in, LET ME IIIN!”
Daemons on an orks ship: “Let me out, LET ME OOOUUT!”
But do they be singing warp shanties?
Orks do.
HERE WE GO BOYZ!
🎶Soon may þe Emperor come,
To banish Old Night and bring þe sun,
And one day when þe Crusade is done,
Mankind will rule þe stars.🎶

fun fact. Star wars has it's own version of warp demons, ghostly entities that dwell in hyperspace and deep space called StarWeirds and Space Wraiths.
What would the unknown regions be equivalent to? The ghoul stars?
@@U1TR4F0RCE Yes, but arguably worse. For whatever reason, what ever is in the other side of the Starwars galaxy is best left alone and unbothered its that bad. Also Starwars has a space zombie plague witha hivemind
@@thomasallen9974 the mngal-mngal. That PoS.
And I believe the Pius Dea are there too.
"bearers" not bears. people who carry the stuff.
also originally during the DAoT and great crusade the refueling teams would have used heavily armored suits with built in force fields for protection. these suits formed the basis of the original terminator armor designs. But by M41 such protective suits basically don't exist anymore.
Saw the poster and first thought, sharkmaido
I always thought of the astronomican as more of a lighthouse or North Star for navigators. Not showing them directly where to go but act as a beckon and be one visible constant point in the warp to orientate yourself with.
It is exactly that. Bricky got it wrong at first
You know. For all the horrible fates psykers can be subjected to...a medically induced coma where you dream of realspace doesn't sound too bad.
imagine drunk warp travel this mf
Going into the Warp is already drunk driving
@@beastalchemistVAthen that means drunk warp driving is just drunk driving with LSD thrown into the mix.
@@beastalchemistVA then imagine giving amasec to the machine spirit of warp engine during warp travelimagine
There are two ways I could imagine this works out ether everything goes tits up or for some reason everything works much better.@@-Matyuk
@@bennai2 the fucking drunk sleeping navigator instead reality projects alcoholism on whole crew
So what you are saying is there could be a navigator who rides a fake motorcycle and makings engine noises to travel the warp.
Yeeeeeesss? It's less the conveyance, and more the perception of the warp that's unique. One paints in blood, another saw it as a forest, a thirsty could see it as visible light, another still could perceive it as sound.
My understanding of Warp travel is that the bulk of the Imperium's merchant fleet (which is actually the majority of Imperial ships) rely primarily on blind jumps. They utilize Warp lanes, which are historically "calm" regions of the Warp they can jump through without the need of a Navigator. Navigators are reserved for vessels that do not frequently follow set routes, such as warships, Rogue Trader vessels, or Inquisitorial black ships (which are different from the Astra Telepathica black ships, confusingly). There are also still Imperial ships that have no Warp capability whatsoever, usually from either more primitive but still industrialized worlds or from worlds that are so close that sub-light travel only takes a few years.
I go on morning jogs thru the warp without a gellar field for luls
I love geoer fields being sleeping psykers. Having a man made Azathoth from lovecraft being the key is really cool to me.
Warp travel is very naval coded. So it tracks that warp storms are very similar to tropical storms. A storm massive and intense that travel is near impossible and if big enough can cause significant damage to mainland areas. But once they hit land the storm starts dropping in strength and will end much sooner. Very similar to a hurricane.
This episode should just be renamed "Bricky's barely disguised fetish"
Ah, some quality posters today
..now where's the von lycaon space wolf
Bricky doesn’t want to deal with what would happen with Bao if he sold that poster maybe.
I mean, there was a furry werewolf space wolf girl poster a year or so ago...
*Suddenly realizes a warp drive is just an altar that is charged up by human sacrifices and just pops the ship back and forth from the warp but doesn't move it or do anything else. Looks around ship wondering if it's also snapping up the souls of anyone else who dies...*
Good ol' Scranton Reality Anchor. Take some reality with you from a place abundant in reality, into another place sparse with reality.
'afternoon train trip'
the two ultramarines that got to experience traversing the blood tracks: (@)-(@)
I learned so many things in this episode, but not all things I ever wanted to know...
Writing my book listening about the warp and than suddenly paying attention as they are speaking about elders boinking it in a home....
God damn i love this channel
You can fly through the warp in the wake of another ship, so if you have a fleet of ships you could get away with just having one ship with Navigators (probably the biggest).
0:44
I really do appreciate Shy with the ELLEN JOE warhammer theme poster, and even including herself as a bangboo unit from ZZZ!
Well done, Shy and everyone else!
I believe it's called a "crash translation" or "crash reversion" when you emergency drop out of the warp.
The most unhinged, funny ass ending in like, what, 4 years of podcasting? THIS WAS AMAZING X'D
UNSC: We punch a hole into an alternate dimension to travel faster than the speed of light. It's very dangerous if something bad happens.
Imperium: *lighthearted chuckle* That's cute.
My favorite and both most and least accurate description of the warp:
"The common mode of space travel in setting is literally ripping a hole into hell, flying into it, and then ripping your way back out...all while a likely crazy man is at the wheel, and you are praying not that you survive, nor even you arrive exactly at your destination and/or on time...no you pray to your God(s) that nothing notices you on the way, and no one is dumb or crazy enough to let any hitchhikers tag along"
In unrelated notes a key horror aspect my freind wrote for his naucent psyker char in rouge trader is that "something" did notice him the first warp jump he had made and since has been stalking him...slowly growing closer and closer, only he senses it...and it just follows him across the galaxy (explaining why he is tagging along with the party to the most dangerous spaces across the galaxy) he is terrified if he ever stops for a particularly long period of time it catches up to him.
Ending this episode with a *Bang*
God listening to Bricky rant about old people/the empirium just getting freaky was something I was not expecting lol
Cant remember where I read it, but I remember a part in a book where an imperium fleet was responding to an emergency, got caught in a storm and arrived at a planet weeks before the emergency signal even went off
SPOILER FOR AHRIMAN SERIES
.
.
.
.
.
Ahriman teams up with some loyalist marines whose chapter has been wiped of by the inquisition and takes the librarian as an apprentice. Later it turns out him siding with ahriman and warp fuckery cause the kill order back in time. So because his chapter got killed he became a chaos sorcerer but because he became a chaos sorcerer his chapter died. Now he hates ahriman.
I was sleeping and woke up to 50:33
This episode was excellent and I learned a LOT
I have no idea what that Shy bunnyangelghost thing is, but I love it!
Because I read it recently, the source for the comatose psyket inducing the gellar field is Flight of the Eisenstein. And they also do an emergency return to real space from a failure of said Gellar field by using a gravitational well. Aka you cna only jump OUT easily if there is something like the gravity of a a star system to helo you pull out.
Imperium is weak on the pull out game...makes sense.
5:23 um akctually bricky. The Tau do use the warp. They just don't have navigators. Instead of doing full warp dives like humanity do, the Tau skim along the edge of warp space, never going deep but still using it for short hops.
There are actually 2 methods of Tau FTL that both use the warp. The gravitic drive that skims that warp along the space between realspace and the warp and the slipstream module that actually enters the warp (kind of abandoned after it created the startide nexus)
Source: Battlefleet gothic: armada and the 8th ed. Tau codex by way of the lexecanium.
Hot Air Balloons use air currents at different elevations, and the Astronomicon is more like the North Star... except it can't be obscured. ... The ending was hilarious! 😅
Warpsrorm Time Shift example:
The Ork Warboss who exited the Warp before he had entered it, tracked himself down and killed himself, so he could have two of his favorite Shoota.
The thing about the need for psykers in the gellarfield engine was a continuity error in the indomidus lore if I am not very mistaken. Because gellar fields existed before humanity discovered psykers it kinda doesnt make sense that they would always need psykers to fuel the field. So GW changed that lore bit that humanity forgot how to fix the gellar fields properly so they came up with the psyker dream fix.
"Maybe the ship is alive"
Bricky re-creates Event Horizon.
Meanwhile all the Azure Lane and Kancolle fans are salivating, and thus the tradition of the captain being married to his ship is continued even in the dark future.
Stygies VIII Geller fields are probably the best, I guarantee that atleast one of the Techpriests on that world used blackstone in a geller field
If the emperor is a gps, then a chaos possessed space marine is like having a local hop in your passenger seat and directing you personally.
imagine a crew on a ship that travels through the warp and ends up in a warp ship graveyard, where the dead souls on board loudly sing horrible space shanties from other languages, or multiple centuries in the past or futures, and to the crew's horror, some of the ones they can understand have certain words and themes swapped out to portend horrible imminent doom. Maybe during a crusade, a ship and its crew are on the brink of death, during their lowest point, and they make an emergency jump into the warp, only to hear ghostly singing coming from an eerily similar vessel to their own...
This has been brought up in Weshammer's videos. There IS such a place in realspace in 40K. No one wants to find out what it looks like on the immaterial side.
The table top rogue trader rpg mentions most lesser chaos ships make sacrifices to bargain with demons. It also mentions the bloody painting navigator rite and some less wholesome ones
Audio file recovered from the Tau warp drive project:
Human: “You turned on the Gellar field, right?”
Tau: “What’s a Gellar field?”
Daemon of Chaos: *crashes through wall* “Hey kids, wanna see a dead body!?”
Humans and Tau: “Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!”
Audio file recovered from an Ork ship:
Daemon 1: *to the Chaos Gods* “GetmeoffthisshipRightNow! I’m serious this thing has Orks on i-Aaaaah!” *Gets killed by Ork*
Tuska: *rips and tears to singing Do You believe in magic*
Daemon 2: “Is that a camera? What kind of sadistic retard watches this crap?!”
Khorne: “Love this show.”
I mentioned this on a previous episode but it's also relevant here: according to everything I could find on it, the Tau use the warp for faster than light communication, but not so much for travel. They have AI piloted drone space ships that can do all the same navigating of the warp that the imperial navigators do, but since it's just a machine with no souls aboard the warp entities can't really tell the difference between it and an asteroid. So even though they don't have Gellar field tech they can still send these AI messenger ships loaded up with data and communications through the warp from system to system. It's basically a self driving mail truck flying through the warp all sneaky like.
Literally finished the Rogue Trader prologue and started listening to this. Lol.
*Camera focuses of Guardsman Seth McFarlane* "There's a million ways to die in the warp."
Bricky went preacher mode at the end there 😂
For traveling outside the galaxy via warp travel, the astronomican doesnt reach far enough to leave and there arent any currents out there, so ships become becalmed if they go to far out and get stuck forever
Sorry but of all the things going off in this video, i absolutely love this thumbnail image.
I've been watching you guys since your very first episode and this is not a shot at anyone.......but I'm so Uber excited for more fantasy!
That ending was the best unhinged sex joke I've heard all day.
It's the unhinged cut at the end for me 😂
That abrupt ending had me laughing so loud I scared the cats! 😂
@1:31 BEST PART of Episode, SHYBU PLUSHIE = NEED... Make It Happen, Guys
I don't think I've ever heard anything end quite like that. Amazing. xD
What a way to roll credits!
Bricky got a little too excited there at the end
I vaguely remember modern ships under Guilliman having dust from the emperor's throne and the skeleton of a blank encased into a casket to form the gellar field, instead of sacrificing psykers.
I’d love a Shy plush that looks like that Shy sticker!
0:50 this is the best poster you ever made people (totally not biased because I like the space sharks a lot AND that Ellen is my favorite ZZZ character)
That's a helluva a way to end an episode
damn imagine getting warp stormed back to the heresy that'd be mad
I offer "Libera te tutemet ex inferis" as the quote for the episode.
