6:10 The Grey Knights are genetically altered, cybernetic pyskers who are equipped with top tier power armour and weapons. The Imperial Knights are controlled by a trained and cybernetically augmented pilot from a noble house. The pilots are extremely well trained and their position as the commander of an Imperial Knight is extremely meaningful to them. Depending on the size of the walker/titan/big robot, they might also have a team of people with them who preform different duties within the Knight.
Theres a fan made web series called If the Emperor Had A TTS Device that takes a much more comedic and light hearted take on the 40k universe. Even though its not recommended for 40k newbies due to it being a parody and alot of the jokes will fly over your head if you don't understand the lore, I still think you might like it and should give it a watch.
Thank you for finishing this video and I hope the Chaos gods reward you with a ton of views! I hope you consider doing the next video on the aliens because it will help explain more background on what you saw in the Ciaphas Cain book. Plus my favorite are the Eldar and the Orks are just hilarious.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Oh I also remembered, when Bricky gets to the Tau, he does kinda mention that they are the only faction that tries to be Friends instead!
Well... Honestly most of the alien factions aren't that bad. Really the only ones that stand out as being very dark are the Dark Eldar (go figure). Even the orks are, while violent, they're like... Cartoon violent. They don't particularly hate or torture people, they just want a good fight. It's like a barfight at a cosmic scale.
@@PissFromTheAbyss This precisely. Orks are practically slapstick and tyranids are so animalistic they're more like a natural disaster. Except genestealers of course. That stuff gets dark
As a kid I was a fan of the tabletop, and I could never get the kind of precision painting you see in those screenshots, but it did inspire me to become a graphic designer. Also I totally understand your apprehension on watching part 2, even though it's a lot more manageable to watch because the other factions dont have as much lore to them, its still pretty depressing, especially when you get to the Dark Eldar. Can't wait to see what your next video will be!
@@HannaHsOverInvested Well to put a bit of perspective, he was trying to stop the Tyranids, who like locusts move from world to worlds devouring all biomass to increase their fleet site and leave dead husks of a world. Kryptman at one point authorized Exterminatus on worlds in the hive fleets paths to try and slow them down, create a buffer zone(As the Tyranids can't feed and multiply their numbers on dead worlds, they need to consume the biomass of living ones.). To buy the imperium more time to reinforce the sector and prevent the Tyranid Fleet from growing to strong for the Imperium to deal with. But was deemed to eager to use destructive measures and expelled shortly after this was carried out.
23:34 "How big is this thing?" Standard models for human scale things are about 1 inch tall, plus or minus a couple centimeters depending. Bigger things, like tanks or Knights have bigger models. Painting them to such precision is a process that can very well take hours even for individual models. Putting together a full army is something that can very easily take months to finish. This quite naturally is a part of the process that can very easily drive people insane. There are, of course, fully assembled and professionally painted that various people will sell. That, however, will break you financially instead of mentally. Even comparatively small groups of painted minis can easily go for a couple hundred dollars. A bigger army of fully painted minis can go for well over a thousand dollars. The most expensive I saw when checking the prices was a Dark Eldar army(about 3400-3600 points in game terms) going for nearly $4000.
That one Inquisitor fidus kryptman, which bricky flashed an image of his wiki page, was brought up because of how freely he used exterminatus. Specially during a Tyranid hive fleet invasion. Tyranids eat all life on planets. So kryptman figured starving the Tyranids out by okaying exterminatus on every planet in the fleets near by path ( i dont know the exact amount). He was later marked as a traitor to mankind cause even that was too much for the Imperium to tolerate..
Love these honest reactions to 40k.... these are exactly the sorts of comments and questions I would expect from anyone trying to figure out such a crazy grimdark universe... and I hope the 40k community remember they too asked many of the same things when they started. If you choose to read any more of the Cain books, you will get his unique view of some of the other xenos races... if not, you've given the 40k universe more attention than many would... thankyou for the vids.
Turns and Dice, you hit the nail on the head perfectly. That is the game, after putting them together and painting them. The sisters of Silence is like Jurgen. =) Only they are official and well equiped (With wargear). As for model size. . . 4-5 cm I think. Might be wrong about that though. I haven't looked it up. Very small though, so it isn't easy to paint them well. And yeah. I can fully understand why you don't like the setting all that much, but I still hope you'll continue your dive into Ciaphas Cain stories. As those are far less grimdark than anything else, and while there are horribleness in them, it won't be depressing you because Cain himself is such a lovable bastard. =)
Thank you for taking the time, it's highly appreciated and we understand if you don't want to have another blind dive on the lore in Bricky's second part
I misspelled Heretic in my excitement hahahaha idk how I didnt notice. I think the I gave me more room to play than a second e so I just decided to switch them. lol.
@@HannaHsOverInvested I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't mentioned! I changed my mind. Imma buy someone else's shirt. Someone's shirt that spelled right. Maybe I'll buy another SJW shirt.
I just started painting my Ork army and the brush tips are absolutely tiny. Seeing what people can do with their minis on Instagram and other places really amazes me.
If it makes you feel any better, some of the alien factions are less outright evil than the humans. Not to say they're good, the best they seem to get is "amoral." The Eldar are a dying race and they (for the most part) respect each other's lives, and they don't really hate any of the other races, either. Except maybe the Orks and Necrons. They see humans and T'au as more like mice; sometimes a nuisance but they're not going to go out of their way to hurt them if they don't need to. The T'au are a single race working towards a common, mutual good. Sounds great, except they're probably all slaves and they don't even realise it.
I mean eldar wont hurt you if they dont need to, but im pretty sure they will at least inform you that you clearly are not a threat in the most "Look at my superiority complex" way posiblr
@@giuseppe9653 I guess that won't please the fans but this is an option they have because they share common enemies. Other races are much less likely to form an alliance.
Can’t wait for Chaos Marines and Chaos in general. Been listening to the Night Lords Trilogy on Audible and it has given me a new perspective on the Traitor legion
Jut to clear things up: Space Marines: Humans implanted with special organs and the genetic material of one of the Primarchs (the Emperor's test tube sons). Grey Knights: Bunch of secretive Space Marines with psychic powers who fight against Chaos. Custodes: Superhumans made from scratch, the fastest, strongest, and all around best breed of super-soldiers in the Imperium. They number only 10,000 bc their creation is such a slow, costly process. They principly guard the Emperor's Palace on Terra (Earth). They are not Space Marines bc they're made differently and have a different outlook (Marines tend to be obsessed with glory and honour, the Custodes just do their jobs), but are broadly similar. Also, that mini at the end is maybe 5cm tall? The base is 32mm across.
I like Warhammer 40k because the absolute horrific state of the galaxy makes for some great stories about perseverance in the face of adversity and hope for a better tomorrow. A lot of the factions, while not being the good guys because "there are no good guys in Warhammer 40k", sometimes operate in a gray area. For example, one of my favourite characters, Ahzek Ahriman, is a guy trying to heal his brothers who were mutating into chaotic monsters. He tried to save them by casting a spell he believed would cure them of their curse but was wrong and in the end he turned most of his brothers to dust. They are now just souls haunting their armour. Mindless automata that are compelled to obey their masters. This isnt what he wanted, he wanted to save his brothers and now he is on a quest to fix what he has done to them. This kind of story is a good example of the grimdark hope that i mentioned. The universe has fucked him over at every turn and the only thing keeping him going is the hope of saving his brothers, the catch to this is that he is willing to do anything to save them, this is his corruption, he is a person obsessed with gaining power in a bid to save the brothers that he killed, this obsession driving him to commit more and more obscene acts of evil as he casts away any sense of morality when it comes to ends justifying their means. This man is by no means a good person, however the way the story paints his struggle against a universe that actively fights against him at every turn is very interesting in my opinion and his goal of saving his brothers would be admirable if not for the methods he employs to achieve that goal.
Yes, Hannah, thanks for finally paying attenttion! ;) Yeah episode 2 of this video is way more dark, as the chaos forces and dark elves are really fucked up. The orks section is pretty funny though since as a faction they are the comic relief of 40k, if nothing else I would check that out :)
You might be more interested in watching some WH40k content that isn't just overall lore exposition. While it's great in helping you understand some of the factions and themes of the universe, for someone that's unfamiliar with the setting, it can definitely mush toghether in a ball of confusion. There's a sereies of videos called Helsreach, which is another 1 man team fan adaptation, that took an audiobook and tried to translate it into a movie. It's pretty well done (even though somewhat rushed in some parts), but it focuses on just a few characters and a specific event. Being based on an actual book, it's much smaller in scale and much more character focused, so it might be more your style. Watching videos like Bricky is like reading The Silmarillion without having any idea of what LOTR even is.
Wow! This is SOOOO hard to stay focused on the topic of the video. You're SOO pretty it's insane *blush* P.S. Please keep with the w40k videos! The gram dark death of w40 contrasts perfectly with your beautiy and innocence.
Warhammer 40k is definitely an acquired taste so I don't blame you for not getting into it. You were open minded enough to take the time to check it out so that makes you A ok in my book!
Warhammer is incredibly dark (as you've noted), but for me personally the joy comes from tales of heroism. Things such as a normal human standing against chaos space marines or the overarching theme of just how the universe wants to completely destroy humanity but humanity still stands and refuses to go down with a whimper. I would say the grim nature of the setting provides an excellent backdrop for tales of good or excellent people and highlights their heroism more.
To answer your question about the war game rules at 4:32, there's a lotta dice involved, there are turns for each player, rounds for specific actions and abilities and there are a lot of specific rules for different factions and characters. This video should explain more of it, but it's a lengthy video. th-cam.com/video/r0GrQ2DIPyc/w-d-xo.html
Please do part 2. It actually adds some context to this one and definitely is less monotone grimdark. Also "play on tabletop" is a great channel to see what the miniature game is all about.
4:43 The table top game is basically like dnd but with an army and an objective instead of doing whatever you want. It’s the classic kinda strategy war game, you know, like moving squads and sometimes individual units in turn based combat around a board/field and making attacks with dice as hit and damage each turn. It can be small and quick or it can be very large and tedious. But usually really cool to see with the really big matches. Bricky actually joins a few of the table top war game channels on TH-cam for guest appearances.
Origin of grim dark for a reason. Always found there are like four groups of people with 40K; the mini-painters, the story people who just enjoy lore delving, the table-toppers and.... the weird ones who no one likes talking about. Sad to see we won't get the other video on this but its been a fun journey!
When it comes to painting for the sake of table play, people will paint the basic troops in a simple manner, to get entire squads done quickly, and then, they may spend that same ammount of time painting just the 1 commander, or whater the centerpiece of the army is.
You'd be surprised at how passionate mini painters are, Hannah. The bit about painting the miniatures? Yeah. There's even a lot of people that don't give a rip about the lore of Warhammer and just like painting the cool plastic models. Also, glad you gave 40k - and by extension, Bricky - a fair shake. I'll admit, I'm kinda sad you won't be seeing more on the orks (since they're in part 2 and basically the comedic relief of 40k), but it's totally understandable. If it's not your thing, it's not worth pushing yourself through more of it.
23:48 that miniature is in 28mm scale - so from its eyes to the soles of its boots would be about that distance :) edit - awesome shirt, with bonus heresy in the spelling :P
@@HannaHsOverInvested alas, no.. I opened the video, had to pause it to do something, then commented when I finished watching after all that was said already haha
watching your reaction to the three weeks joke was absolutely glorious and adorable. I'm Glad to see your journey through all these wonderful worlds of gaming and warhammer!
There is Bricky's "What's the best Warhammer 40k faction or army to start with" video in which it focuses on every single faction (in his parts 1 to 2 vids of every faction he explained) but in the tabletop game itself rather than in the lore. Reccomended it after you react to Bricky's every single warhammer 40k factions.
Yeah painting the miniatures is a huge pain. Really the best advice I’ve seen on how to paint them is to remember that you only need to make them look good from a foot away since that’s the distance you play.
I really hope you reconsider and do part 2 some day in the future. Learning about all the non-human factions gives you a lot of backstory on the universe.
@23:45, I dont have this model specifically. But if I were to guess, as that particular model is a named character, anywhere between 3 and 5 centimeters. I also paint things like this because I find it therapeutic. Also, I've just found your videos. I wanted to save this till the end of the video. I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions to this. I am also a Hufflepuff!
Dice. Lots of dice. Fun stuff. The game itself is pretty alright, something that requires more patience than I have but still fun to watch others do. And yeah, that's all the Imperium. I think what makes all of it so grim and moody is the fact that we only look at the major events in the timeline. You never see those peaceful days where nothing bad happens, because that isn't the story people want to see. Its like looking at a history timeline for something like the revolutionary war, we see the bullet points where things happen, not the weeks or month of calm in between those dots. Oh, and that model might be about an inch or two tall.
Fun fact! If you have too small a brush tip, the paint literally dries before you can even put it on a model. I prefer to use a larger brush that can hold more moisture, about a size 0, and just be careful. Yes, I recognize the irony in a size ZERO being a larger brush compared to what other people use.
To play the game. You have models and set them up. You take turns fighting, charging and shooting. To fight, charge and shoot you roll dice per model. The fun comes from painting and building armies, strategizing where and how to place your army on the table l, and just rolling an insane amount of dice.
One of Bricky's jokes: Kryptmann was a grand inquisitor charged with stopping a Tyranid hive fleet. He created a light years wide desolation zone to starve the bugs. He killed trillions but succeeded in saving many magnitudes more. He is nevertheless hated.
I really hope you're gonna get into part 2 at one point. That's where all of the juicy bits are, notably all of the Xeno races. Particularily the Orkz are essentially the most horrifying and threatening comic relief faction in the entire setting.
My brother is big on painting these mpdels for the table top game. the models are tiny, so the brush tips are fittingly very small. people also tend to use a magnifying glass and a stand that clamps the model in place.
This was awesome to watch though! Its a shame about part 2, but I hope you come back to visit it one day. Yeah, there's still a lot of darkness, but some of the other aliens, such as the Tao and Orks are quite entertaining. But it is about as long as part 1, so I understand it's a massive undertaking. Either way, great reaction as always, Hannah
Nice content, I'll be checking out your novels as I'm into that kinda genre. Regarding the video choppiness: If you're watching the video and recording (to your computer) at the same time AND if you're using a laptop for that, it may be that the laptop is overheating. Send it for maintenance and also get one of those laptop cooling pads.
To explain Titus Kryptman: This jolly dude realized the "best" way to deal with the mounting Tyranid threat was to ensure they had nothing to eat. So he exterminatus'd *every* planet in their path. It worked, but then the Tyranids entered the galaxy from another side.
Grey Knights, yes there is a Space Marine in the suit. Imperial Knights, there is a "Noble" inside piloting the suit. He or She is biomechanically plugged into the Knight. Culexis Assassin. You remember Kain's assistant. He is a blank. That is what his BO represents in the book.
I think you'll enjoy the second part a lot more. Unlike this one, which goes really in depth with the humans and really goes over their atrocities, part two quickly goes over multiple races and doesn't get too far in depth with any of them. A lot less emotionally taxing in my opinion. Except for the Dark Elves, you might want to get something to bite down on when Bricky gets to the Dark Elves.
If you want, you don't have to cover all of part 2. He talks about the Tau at the very end and even gives us a great message about the game and hobby at the very end which I think you might enjoy.
I can only imagine there's a lot of cultural significance that gets lost in translation. WH40K is a British product and it's humor is British to demonstrate. There's a lot of 'keep a stiff upper lip' attitude in it. Americans, having such a war-based culture is able to latch on to the product readily. But we lack British humor, so we often fail to understand humans are the bad guys because humans are fascist. Since you're Canadian, you lack both British humor and a strong warrior culture so this must all seem bizarre and alien to you.
Not sure what British humor has to do with this. There is no humor intended in the writing of 40K and Bricky himself is not British and his jokes are less culturally specific. Everything written about 40k is intended literally.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior I think you are likely missing some context for the writing of 40k. It was written by brits living under thatcher's conservatives in the 1980s. A lot of the original writing was intended as a dark sci-fi parody of the right wing ideas of that period.
Cudos to you for making it this far. The weird universe of 40k is very deep and a great stage for great narratives. I recommend the Inquisitor Eisenhorn novels. And never EVER forget the most important rule: DO NOT TAKE 40K SERIOUSLY!!
"how small is the brush tip" please... don't ask me that.... don't look at my frayed brush collection either... I have committed genocide against paint brushes the amount I have destroyed...
Nooooo you need to do part 2 the orks are the most fun faction in the 40k universe they are comedic relief personified and are probably the only creature having fun in the 40k galaxy
@@disembodiedglances8695 I guess the dark eldar are sort of enjoying themselves but it's nothing compared to how much fun the orcs are having (plus the orcs don't have slanesh knocking on their doors)
Lovely shirt! Nope, no jollies for Crowe. Okay, as a fellow marshmallow, let me play devil's advocate for 40k, just a little, using our favorite other marshmallow. If you look at the lore for The Witcher, you'll notice that there isn't a country or king (queen) that is not corrupted to one degree or another. 40k isn't that different, it's just that the universe has had 35,000 more years to corrupt utterly. In other words, how surprising is it that in another 35k years, we've lost the plot? It is a lot to learn and remember, and it can get fiddly, but you don't have to play (well, you don't HAVE to play any of it, but) large scale or all factions, you can limit how big your slice of the universe is and work from there. Now, about those figurines. yes, you are correct. Most are between two inches to about five inches. Some of the brushes I've used have been 2-3 hairs and I don't do work anywhere near as nice as the models he has in this video. There are people who specifically will paint your figurines for you if you want that much detail. Personally, I'd rather spend my time putting together the 10,000 piece Millennium Falcon Lego set, and let someone else go blind finding all the buttons and scripting all the talismans.
In answer to some stuff, the models are 28mm scale (as in, an average person is about 28mm tall, though many models are a little larger since they are supposed to be bigger people or monsters). They're so small that a lot people buy/make little handles to stick the miniatures on so they have something to hold while painting them. Bricky was 'embarrassed' in the video for having multiple armies (I'm working one 3 armies personally) as often like a box of ten guys might cost $45 USD, and since it's a game where you move entire armies around, an army can easily run into the hundreds, as well as taking a hundreds of hours assembling, gluing, customizing and painting them (think of model train enthusiasts, except you put two of them in a room and they roll dice to see which model train wins. Actually... hang on that sounds awesome, brb I need to start a kickstarter-). There are plenty of other miniature (fantasy or historical) army games out there that have far more reasonable prices (we're talking closer to 1 dollar per miniature), it's just for the longest time the most finely detailed models as well as the the biggest name in the industry (novels, board games, etc) is Warhammer. Though, as 3d printing and other tech improves (and with a new Games Workshop (people who make Warhammer) controversy every other week leading to increased calls to boycott), that might not be for forever.
A lot of your confusion can be fixed by rewatching the reactions you put out before this. But hey drive interaction through general questions. Also I do love how a couple of questions were answered but you talked over the answer. Lol God we deserve the tyranid swarm headed toward us. "Innocence proves nothing"
Fidus Kryptman, the name that Bricky flashed up, is an Inquisitor who was heavily involved in the Tyrannic Wars, which were basically times the Tyranids invaded the galaxy (Tyranids are big, scary, bug monsters from who-knows-where coming into the galaxy to eat everything). By the time of the Third Tyrannic War, the Imperium learned the Tyranids' general strategy: Tyranid weapons and bioforms are all from biomass they consume from invading planets, so they can regain strength and numbers by consuming weaker planets before attacking a stronger one. In an attempt to slow the Tyranid advance, Inquisitor Kryptman would declare exterminatus on a planet as soon as it is invaded, which led to the largest genocide in Imperium history since the Horus Heresy as BILLIONS OF PEOPLE were melted into organic slurry, then burned into ash as the virus bombs dropped on the planet did their gruesome work (the Horus Heresy though, that was a LOT of genocides). Needless to say, Kryptman was something of a controversial fellow, as even the innocence-proves-nothing, defeat-the-threat-at-any-cost folks in the Imperium generally agreed that killing billions and erasing several planets worth of production capability is a tad too far.
Imperial Knights are basically retirement for dead Astartes. If you're an Astarte and died or are close to death, but you were awesome when you were alive, they put you in one of these gargantuan mechs as a kind of tomb. And hook your consciousness into it so you can live again and still serve The Emperor and purge heresy. Also... you may want to at least watch the part about the Orks. They're the best and funniest faction in the whole thing. They're the comic relief.
I actually think that the first section of the 2nd video would still be worth watching. The discussion of the Chaos Gods was never laid out to me the way Bricky did it. As a character design, its very interesting...
Also, as a full on neophyte on Warhammer; having only seen these videos, I can assure that the 2nd one is easier to follow. The humans are far more developped than the rest of the factions, there is a lot more depht where; for the aliens, it's more like a story for each. Easier to grasp, and without ramification extending into the others.

6:10 The Grey Knights are genetically altered, cybernetic pyskers who are equipped with top tier power armour and weapons. The Imperial Knights are controlled by a trained and cybernetically augmented pilot from a noble house. The pilots are extremely well trained and their position as the commander of an Imperial Knight is extremely meaningful to them. Depending on the size of the walker/titan/big robot, they might also have a team of people with them who preform different duties within the Knight.
okayyyy thank you!
@@LightriverArt maybe like a Power Ranger Megazord? And/or Jagers from Pacific Rim.
i think Imperial Knights are only 1-person walkers, Titans are when you start to have 2 or more, or even a small city's worth at the upper scale
"oh ho ho, these people are deaaadllyyy"
"Yeah, everyone in this world is deadly."
...Yeah, I 100% share your sentiments there Hannah >.

20:00 let’s be honest, the bad guys always have the best outfits. And when everyone’s the bad guy, your games got some kick ass style.
Theres a fan made web series called If the Emperor Had A TTS Device that takes a much more comedic and light hearted take on the 40k universe. Even though its not recommended for 40k newbies due to it being a parody and alot of the jokes will fly over your head if you don't understand the lore, I still think you might like it and should give it a watch.
Thank you for finishing this video and I hope the Chaos gods reward you with a ton of views! I hope you consider doing the next video on the aliens because it will help explain more background on what you saw in the Ciaphas Cain book. Plus my favorite are the Eldar and the Orks are just hilarious.
Oh really?? It is just soooo dark tho. Maybe, but it wont be for a little while.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Oh I also remembered, when Bricky gets to the Tau, he does kinda mention that they are the only faction that tries to be Friends instead!
I'd like to see it. The over-the-top darkness is worth it for the Orks. Those guys are adorable!
Well... Honestly most of the alien factions aren't that bad. Really the only ones that stand out as being very dark are the Dark Eldar (go figure). Even the orks are, while violent, they're like... Cartoon violent. They don't particularly hate or torture people, they just want a good fight. It's like a barfight at a cosmic scale.
@@PissFromTheAbyss This precisely. Orks are practically slapstick and tyranids are so animalistic they're more like a natural disaster. Except genestealers of course. That stuff gets dark
Bricky does stumble over words sometimes, I appreciate him for leaving those in, reminds us that we're all human
As a girl who typoed a shirt she made, I really feel the same.
3:30 No, the sword is offering him an eternity of infinite BJs, and he has to say no every time.
Truly, a man of conviction.
As a kid I was a fan of the tabletop, and I could never get the kind of precision painting you see in those screenshots, but it did inspire me to become a graphic designer.
Also I totally understand your apprehension on watching part 2, even though it's a lot more manageable to watch because the other factions dont have as much lore to them, its still pretty depressing, especially when you get to the Dark Eldar.
Can't wait to see what your next video will be!
Inquisitor Fidus Kryptman was expelled from the Inquisition and excommunicated FOR BEING TOO CRUEL
Tells you everything you need to know about him
yikes
@@HannaHsOverInvested Well to put a bit of perspective, he was trying to stop the Tyranids, who like locusts move from world to worlds devouring all biomass to increase their fleet site and leave dead husks of a world.
Kryptman at one point authorized Exterminatus on worlds in the hive fleets paths to try and slow them down, create a buffer zone(As the Tyranids can't feed and multiply their numbers on dead worlds, they need to consume the biomass of living ones.). To buy the imperium more time to reinforce the sector and prevent the Tyranid Fleet from growing to strong for the Imperium to deal with. But was deemed to eager to use destructive measures and expelled shortly after this was carried out.
@@Tazkar Late comment but...
"after this was carried out". AFTER.
Yikes indeed.
The Terminator/John Connor thing with the special Custodes is something I never thought.
Nice!
23:34 "How big is this thing?"
Standard models for human scale things are about 1 inch tall, plus or minus a couple centimeters depending. Bigger things, like tanks or Knights have bigger models.
Painting them to such precision is a process that can very well take hours even for individual models. Putting together a full army is something that can very easily take months to finish. This quite naturally is a part of the process that can very easily drive people insane.
There are, of course, fully assembled and professionally painted that various people will sell. That, however, will break you financially instead of mentally. Even comparatively small groups of painted minis can easily go for a couple hundred dollars. A bigger army of fully painted minis can go for well over a thousand dollars. The most expensive I saw when checking the prices was a Dark Eldar army(about 3400-3600 points in game terms) going for nearly $4000.
HannaH: Refuses to watch anymore 40K stuff
Also HannaH: Brings out her own 40K themed merch
Yes. I see now.
Whe you think in the Custodes, picture them as Henry Cavill( he's a big fan).
An army of golden 9 foot tall Henry cavill's just for you.😎😎😎
hahahah perfect. I will do just that.
@@HannaHsOverInvested and like that, a new sister of battle was born.
I think there's a few videos of Henry Cavill painting his custodes models on TH-cam. Pretty cool stuff.
@@johntaylor7029 and seeing him being light-years better at painting than I am. Makes me feel pain.
never thought about Henry Cavill this way. Someone need to make a Cavill Custodes model for sure
That one Inquisitor fidus kryptman, which bricky flashed an image of his wiki page, was brought up because of how freely he used exterminatus. Specially during a Tyranid hive fleet invasion. Tyranids eat all life on planets. So kryptman figured starving the Tyranids out by okaying exterminatus on every planet in the fleets near by path ( i dont know the exact amount). He was later marked as a traitor to mankind cause even that was too much for the Imperium to tolerate..
Love these honest reactions to 40k.... these are exactly the sorts of comments and questions I would expect from anyone trying to figure out such a crazy grimdark universe... and I hope the 40k community remember they too asked many of the same things when they started.
If you choose to read any more of the Cain books, you will get his unique view of some of the other xenos races... if not, you've given the 40k universe more attention than many would... thankyou for the vids.
Turns and Dice, you hit the nail on the head perfectly. That is the game, after putting them together and painting them.
The sisters of Silence is like Jurgen. =) Only they are official and well equiped (With wargear). As for model size. . . 4-5 cm I think. Might be wrong about that though. I haven't looked it up. Very small though, so it isn't easy to paint them well.
And yeah. I can fully understand why you don't like the setting all that much, but I still hope you'll continue your dive into Ciaphas Cain stories. As those are far less grimdark than anything else, and while there are horribleness in them, it won't be depressing you because Cain himself is such a lovable bastard. =)
32mm is the standard size:)
Do not forget the Melta, Jurgen is well equiped too!
Thank you for taking the time, it's highly appreciated and we understand if you don't want to have another blind dive on the lore in Bricky's second part
You did it, you made the t-shirt!
I must have that t-shirt.
...
Obviously not the one you're wearing. I'm not going full internet creep, don't worry.
I misspelled Heretic in my excitement hahahaha idk how I didnt notice. I think the I gave me more room to play than a second e so I just decided to switch them. lol.
@@HannaHsOverInvested
I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't mentioned!
I changed my mind. Imma buy someone else's shirt.
Someone's shirt that spelled right.
Maybe I'll buy another SJW shirt.
I just started painting my Ork army and the brush tips are absolutely tiny. Seeing what people can do with their minis on Instagram and other places really amazes me.
If it makes you feel any better, some of the alien factions are less outright evil than the humans. Not to say they're good, the best they seem to get is "amoral."
The Eldar are a dying race and they (for the most part) respect each other's lives, and they don't really hate any of the other races, either. Except maybe the Orks and Necrons. They see humans and T'au as more like mice; sometimes a nuisance but they're not going to go out of their way to hurt them if they don't need to.
The T'au are a single race working towards a common, mutual good. Sounds great, except they're probably all slaves and they don't even realise it.
I can imagine China being like the T'au with their communist system and having Japan produce all of their weapons. You know, those anime style robots.
I mean eldar wont hurt you if they dont need to, but im pretty sure they will at least inform you that you clearly are not a threat in the most "Look at my superiority complex" way posiblr
@@giuseppe9653 The imperium and eldar could make a great alliance if they wouldn't be so stubborn.
@@mariusmitre492 "There is only war" I think its more appropiate to stick with that
@@giuseppe9653 I guess that won't please the fans but this is an option they have because they share common enemies. Other races are much less likely to form an alliance.
Can’t wait for Chaos Marines and Chaos in general. Been listening to the Night Lords Trilogy on Audible and it has given me a new perspective on the Traitor legion
From Ciaphas Cain novel his aid Gunner Jurgon was a blank,
Painting miniatures is like writing. Just keep at it and remember everyone starts at the beginning.
Also "thin your paints" and have fun.
Jut to clear things up:
Space Marines: Humans implanted with special organs and the genetic material of one of the Primarchs (the Emperor's test tube sons).
Grey Knights: Bunch of secretive Space Marines with psychic powers who fight against Chaos.
Custodes: Superhumans made from scratch, the fastest, strongest, and all around best breed of super-soldiers in the Imperium. They number only 10,000 bc their creation is such a slow, costly process. They principly guard the Emperor's Palace on Terra (Earth). They are not Space Marines bc they're made differently and have a different outlook (Marines tend to be obsessed with glory and honour, the Custodes just do their jobs), but are broadly similar.
Also, that mini at the end is maybe 5cm tall? The base is 32mm across.
I like Warhammer 40k because the absolute horrific state of the galaxy makes for some great stories about perseverance in the face of adversity and hope for a better tomorrow. A lot of the factions, while not being the good guys because "there are no good guys in Warhammer 40k", sometimes operate in a gray area.
For example, one of my favourite characters, Ahzek Ahriman, is a guy trying to heal his brothers who were mutating into chaotic monsters. He tried to save them by casting a spell he believed would cure them of their curse but was wrong and in the end he turned most of his brothers to dust. They are now just souls haunting their armour. Mindless automata that are compelled to obey their masters. This isnt what he wanted, he wanted to save his brothers and now he is on a quest to fix what he has done to them.
This kind of story is a good example of the grimdark hope that i mentioned. The universe has fucked him over at every turn and the only thing keeping him going is the hope of saving his brothers, the catch to this is that he is willing to do anything to save them, this is his corruption, he is a person obsessed with gaining power in a bid to save the brothers that he killed, this obsession driving him to commit more and more obscene acts of evil as he casts away any sense of morality when it comes to ends justifying their means.
This man is by no means a good person, however the way the story paints his struggle against a universe that actively fights against him at every turn is very interesting in my opinion and his goal of saving his brothers would be admirable if not for the methods he employs to achieve that goal.
"it's such a fkin bummer" - yup, that pretty much sums up grim dark lolz.
Yes, Hannah, thanks for finally paying attenttion! ;)
Yeah episode 2 of this video is way more dark, as the chaos forces and dark elves are really fucked up.
The orks section is pretty funny though since as a faction they are the comic relief of 40k, if nothing else I would check that out :)
You might be more interested in watching some WH40k content that isn't just overall lore exposition.
While it's great in helping you understand some of the factions and themes of the universe, for someone that's unfamiliar with the setting, it can definitely mush toghether in a ball of confusion.
There's a sereies of videos called Helsreach, which is another 1 man team fan adaptation, that took an audiobook and tried to translate it into a movie. It's pretty well done (even though somewhat rushed in some parts), but it focuses on just a few characters and a specific event.
Being based on an actual book, it's much smaller in scale and much more character focused, so it might be more your style. Watching videos like Bricky is like reading The Silmarillion without having any idea of what LOTR even is.
23:50 the models are about 2.8 centimetres tall (just over one inch)
The smallest detail brush has a 0.016 inch wide tip
Wow! This is SOOOO hard to stay focused on the topic of the video. You're SOO pretty it's insane *blush*
P.S. Please keep with the w40k videos! The gram dark death of w40 contrasts perfectly with your beautiy and innocence.
🤣🤣 thanks.
Warhammer 40k is definitely an acquired taste so I don't blame you for not getting into it. You were open minded enough to take the time to check it out so that makes you A ok in my book!
Warhammer is incredibly dark (as you've noted), but for me personally the joy comes from tales of heroism. Things such as a normal human standing against chaos space marines or the overarching theme of just how the universe wants to completely destroy humanity but humanity still stands and refuses to go down with a whimper. I would say the grim nature of the setting provides an excellent backdrop for tales of good or excellent people and highlights their heroism more.
Ahhh glad you came back around to this one :D Hope we get Part 2!
To answer your question about the war game rules at 4:32, there's a lotta dice involved, there are turns for each player, rounds for specific actions and abilities and there are a lot of specific rules for different factions and characters. This video should explain more of it, but it's a lengthy video. th-cam.com/video/r0GrQ2DIPyc/w-d-xo.html
Thank youuuu!
Honestly i needed these two videos from Bricky to see that, this universe is absolutly amazing.
Please do part 2. It actually adds some context to this one and definitely is less monotone grimdark. Also "play on tabletop" is a great channel to see what the miniature game is all about.
4:43
The table top game is basically like dnd but with an army and an objective instead of doing whatever you want.
It’s the classic kinda strategy war game, you know, like moving squads and sometimes individual units in turn based combat around a board/field and making attacks with dice as hit and damage each turn.
It can be small and quick or it can be very large and tedious. But usually really cool to see with the really big matches.
Bricky actually joins a few of the table top war game channels on TH-cam for guest appearances.
Congrats on finishing! I know Warhammer lore is overwhelming but honestly if you go into the Ork lore it us such a laugh it really changes the vibe.
Origin of grim dark for a reason. Always found there are like four groups of people with 40K; the mini-painters, the story people who just enjoy lore delving, the table-toppers and.... the weird ones who no one likes talking about.
Sad to see we won't get the other video on this but its been a fun journey!
Literally just enjoying watching you go through warhammer lore. I love this universe Thank you Hannah
When it comes to painting for the sake of table play, people will paint the basic troops in a simple manner, to get entire squads done quickly, and then, they may spend that same ammount of time painting just the 1 commander, or whater the centerpiece of the army is.
You'd be surprised at how passionate mini painters are, Hannah. The bit about painting the miniatures? Yeah. There's even a lot of people that don't give a rip about the lore of Warhammer and just like painting the cool plastic models.
Also, glad you gave 40k - and by extension, Bricky - a fair shake. I'll admit, I'm kinda sad you won't be seeing more on the orks (since they're in part 2 and basically the comedic relief of 40k), but it's totally understandable. If it's not your thing, it's not worth pushing yourself through more of it.
23:48 that miniature is in 28mm scale - so from its eyes to the soles of its boots would be about that distance :)
edit - awesome shirt, with bonus heresy in the spelling :P
did you read the convo in the pinned comment? ahahahahah
@@HannaHsOverInvested alas, no.. I opened the video, had to pause it to do something, then commented when I finished watching after all that was said already haha
watching your reaction to the three weeks joke was absolutely glorious and adorable. I'm Glad to see your journey through all these wonderful worlds of gaming and warhammer!
hahahah thank you! That joke was so funny hahaha
There is Bricky's "What's the best Warhammer 40k faction or army to start with" video in which it focuses on every single faction (in his parts 1 to 2 vids of every faction he explained) but in the tabletop game itself rather than in the lore.
Reccomended it after you react to Bricky's every single warhammer 40k factions.
Hopefully you try Part 2 one day. It contains lore about my favorite race and DA BEST:
DA ORKS!
WAAAGGGGHHH!
This was an amazing journey with Hannah! Been binging, personality is a 10, brain probably expanded exponentially just from W40K! Good luck!
Yeah painting the miniatures is a huge pain. Really the best advice I’ve seen on how to paint them is to remember that you only need to make them look good from a foot away since that’s the distance you play.
I really hope you reconsider and do part 2 some day in the future. Learning about all the non-human factions gives you a lot of backstory on the universe.
@23:45, I dont have this model specifically. But if I were to guess, as that particular model is a named character, anywhere between 3 and 5 centimeters. I also paint things like this because I find it therapeutic.
Also, I've just found your videos. I wanted to save this till the end of the video. I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions to this.
I am also a Hufflepuff!
Dice. Lots of dice. Fun stuff. The game itself is pretty alright, something that requires more patience than I have but still fun to watch others do.
And yeah, that's all the Imperium. I think what makes all of it so grim and moody is the fact that we only look at the major events in the timeline. You never see those peaceful days where nothing bad happens, because that isn't the story people want to see. Its like looking at a history timeline for something like the revolutionary war, we see the bullet points where things happen, not the weeks or month of calm in between those dots.
Oh, and that model might be about an inch or two tall.
You read one of the Cain novels. I'm pretty sure Jurgen is a Blank, like the Sisters of Silence.
OHHHHHH MY GOD!!!!! That makes SO much sense.
You're gonna love the orks when you get to them.
Trust me, they're so much fun!
Fun fact! If you have too small a brush tip, the paint literally dries before you can even put it on a model. I prefer to use a larger brush that can hold more moisture, about a size 0, and just be careful. Yes, I recognize the irony in a size ZERO being a larger brush compared to what other people use.
To play the game. You have models and set them up. You take turns fighting, charging and shooting. To fight, charge and shoot you roll dice per model.
The fun comes from painting and building armies, strategizing where and how to place your army on the table l, and just rolling an insane amount of dice.
Thank for this react! It was nice! Please consider part 2
One of Bricky's jokes: Kryptmann was a grand inquisitor charged with stopping a Tyranid hive fleet. He created a light years wide desolation zone to starve the bugs. He killed trillions but succeeded in saving many magnitudes more. He is nevertheless hated.
When are the orks coming up? You are going to love them!
after all this super special and super special, you just need to look about the simple green guys, orcs)
Yea.... A few people have said there is some pretty interesting stuff in the next one. idk. Maybe in a while.
I really hope you're gonna get into part 2 at one point. That's where all of the juicy bits are, notably all of the Xeno races. Particularily the Orkz are essentially the most horrifying and threatening comic relief faction in the entire setting.
My brother is big on painting these mpdels for the table top game. the models are tiny, so the brush tips are fittingly very small. people also tend to use a magnifying glass and a stand that clamps the model in place.
This was awesome to watch though! Its a shame about part 2, but I hope you come back to visit it one day. Yeah, there's still a lot of darkness, but some of the other aliens, such as the Tao and Orks are quite entertaining. But it is about as long as part 1, so I understand it's a massive undertaking.
Either way, great reaction as always, Hannah
Nice content, I'll be checking out your novels as I'm into that kinda genre.
Regarding the video choppiness:
If you're watching the video and recording (to your computer) at the same time AND if you're using a laptop for that, it may be that the laptop is overheating. Send it for maintenance and also get one of those laptop cooling pads.
To explain Titus Kryptman: This jolly dude realized the "best" way to deal with the mounting Tyranid threat was to ensure they had nothing to eat. So he exterminatus'd *every* planet in their path. It worked, but then the Tyranids entered the galaxy from another side.
Grey Knights, yes there is a Space Marine in the suit.
Imperial Knights, there is a "Noble" inside piloting the suit. He or She is biomechanically plugged into the Knight.
Culexis Assassin. You remember Kain's assistant. He is a blank. That is what his BO represents in the book.
I think you'll enjoy the second part a lot more. Unlike this one, which goes really in depth with the humans and really goes over their atrocities, part two quickly goes over multiple races and doesn't get too far in depth with any of them. A lot less emotionally taxing in my opinion.
Except for the Dark Elves, you might want to get something to bite down on when Bricky gets to the Dark Elves.
Great t-shirt. I love Wh40k, but I guess I'm a marshmellow latte aswell... Still, orks are very funny)
If you want, you don't have to cover all of part 2. He talks about the Tau at the very end and even gives us a great message about the game and hobby at the very end which I think you might enjoy.
I can only imagine there's a lot of cultural significance that gets lost in translation. WH40K is a British product and it's humor is British to demonstrate. There's a lot of 'keep a stiff upper lip' attitude in it. Americans, having such a war-based culture is able to latch on to the product readily. But we lack British humor, so we often fail to understand humans are the bad guys because humans are fascist.
Since you're Canadian, you lack both British humor and a strong warrior culture so this must all seem bizarre and alien to you.
I thought it was obvious the humans were (one of) the bad guys.
I don't know if I would consider the Imperium to be fascist, or at least entirely. It seems more like a totalitarian feudal confederacy
Not sure what British humor has to do with this. There is no humor intended in the writing of 40K and Bricky himself is not British and his jokes are less culturally specific.
Everything written about 40k is intended literally.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior I think you are likely missing some context for the writing of 40k. It was written by brits living under thatcher's conservatives in the 1980s. A lot of the original writing was intended as a dark sci-fi parody of the right wing ideas of that period.
Cudos to you for making it this far. The weird universe of 40k is very deep and a great stage for great narratives. I recommend the Inquisitor Eisenhorn novels.
And never EVER forget the most important rule: DO NOT TAKE 40K SERIOUSLY!!
You have to watch part 2!!! Please I'm addicted
"I'm Far away, i've been sitting here for 3 weeks..." ( reminds me of the mayhem commericial) lmao
"how small is the brush tip" please... don't ask me that.... don't look at my frayed brush collection either... I have committed genocide against paint brushes the amount I have destroyed...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are definitely doing part 2! That would be sweet
Nooooo you need to do part 2 the orks are the most fun faction in the 40k universe they are comedic relief personified and are probably the only creature having fun in the 40k galaxy
Maybe the Dark Eldar too? Which is bad news for everyone else, really
@@disembodiedglances8695 I guess the dark eldar are sort of enjoying themselves but it's nothing compared to how much fun the orcs are having (plus the orcs don't have slanesh knocking on their doors)
Lovely shirt!
Nope, no jollies for Crowe.
Okay, as a fellow marshmallow, let me play devil's advocate for 40k, just a little, using our favorite other marshmallow. If you look at the lore for The Witcher, you'll notice that there isn't a country or king (queen) that is not corrupted to one degree or another. 40k isn't that different, it's just that the universe has had 35,000 more years to corrupt utterly. In other words, how surprising is it that in another 35k years, we've lost the plot? It is a lot to learn and remember, and it can get fiddly, but you don't have to play (well, you don't HAVE to play any of it, but) large scale or all factions, you can limit how big your slice of the universe is and work from there.
Now, about those figurines. yes, you are correct. Most are between two inches to about five inches. Some of the brushes I've used have been 2-3 hairs and I don't do work anywhere near as nice as the models he has in this video. There are people who specifically will paint your figurines for you if you want that much detail. Personally, I'd rather spend my time putting together the 10,000 piece Millennium Falcon Lego set, and let someone else go blind finding all the buttons and scripting all the talismans.
Thanks for finishing, kinda sad you aint gonna do part 2 since that is where all the aliens and more interesting races are.
Miniatures vary from 10mm to 28mm usually, so about 1 to to 3 centimeters
wild.
"I'm A Marshmellow Heretic" could be a great shirt idea, you know :P
Model painting is a special hell. I love it, but painting on those scales is suffering.
🤣🤣🤣
In answer to some stuff, the models are 28mm scale (as in, an average person is about 28mm tall, though many models are a little larger since they are supposed to be bigger people or monsters). They're so small that a lot people buy/make little handles to stick the miniatures on so they have something to hold while painting them. Bricky was 'embarrassed' in the video for having multiple armies (I'm working one 3 armies personally) as often like a box of ten guys might cost $45 USD, and since it's a game where you move entire armies around, an army can easily run into the hundreds, as well as taking a hundreds of hours assembling, gluing, customizing and painting them (think of model train enthusiasts, except you put two of them in a room and they roll dice to see which model train wins. Actually... hang on that sounds awesome, brb I need to start a kickstarter-). There are plenty of other miniature (fantasy or historical) army games out there that have far more reasonable prices (we're talking closer to 1 dollar per miniature), it's just for the longest time the most finely detailed models as well as the the biggest name in the industry (novels, board games, etc) is Warhammer. Though, as 3d printing and other tech improves (and with a new Games Workshop (people who make Warhammer) controversy every other week leading to increased calls to boycott), that might not be for forever.
That shirt really is Amazing! and perfect! Heretic!! Classy and descriptive. 10/10
except I unconsciously swapped an I for and e HAHAHAH
A lot of your confusion can be fixed by rewatching the reactions you put out before this. But hey drive interaction through general questions. Also I do love how a couple of questions were answered but you talked over the answer. Lol God we deserve the tyranid swarm headed toward us.
"Innocence proves nothing"
Thanks for watching and commenting!
"I'm a marshmallow"
Oof, guess it wasn't the best to suggest a volcano of a bad time to react to.
But you know you want to do part 2 because you haven't heard about the only happy go lucky race yet, the orks
@23:30 Most infantry models are 1 1/2 to 2 inches tall.
Fidus Kryptman, the name that Bricky flashed up, is an Inquisitor who was heavily involved in the Tyrannic Wars, which were basically times the Tyranids invaded the galaxy (Tyranids are big, scary, bug monsters from who-knows-where coming into the galaxy to eat everything). By the time of the Third Tyrannic War, the Imperium learned the Tyranids' general strategy: Tyranid weapons and bioforms are all from biomass they consume from invading planets, so they can regain strength and numbers by consuming weaker planets before attacking a stronger one. In an attempt to slow the Tyranid advance, Inquisitor Kryptman would declare exterminatus on a planet as soon as it is invaded, which led to the largest genocide in Imperium history since the Horus Heresy as BILLIONS OF PEOPLE were melted into organic slurry, then burned into ash as the virus bombs dropped on the planet did their gruesome work (the Horus Heresy though, that was a LOT of genocides). Needless to say, Kryptman was something of a controversial fellow, as even the innocence-proves-nothing, defeat-the-threat-at-any-cost folks in the Imperium generally agreed that killing billions and erasing several planets worth of production capability is a tad too far.
Imperial Knights are basically retirement for dead Astartes. If you're an Astarte and died or are close to death, but you were awesome when you were alive, they put you in one of these gargantuan mechs as a kind of tomb. And hook your consciousness into it so you can live again and still serve The Emperor and purge heresy.
Also... you may want to at least watch the part about the Orks. They're the best and funniest faction in the whole thing. They're the comic relief.
"Innocence proves nothing" is actually a valid thing to make it ad your moto in Warhammer universe
I am sorry, but that look you had when he said " suck my *****" just made me laugh lol. Awwww, I wasn't first
ahaha im glad I got you laughing today.
@@HannaHsOverInvested thanks. I was having a bad day. Thank you for cheering me up.
I actually think that the first section of the 2nd video would still be worth watching. The discussion of the Chaos Gods was never laid out to me the way Bricky did it. As a character design, its very interesting...
Also, as a full on neophyte on Warhammer; having only seen these videos, I can assure that the 2nd one is easier to follow.
The humans are far more developped than the rest of the factions, there is a lot more depht where; for the aliens, it's more like a story for each. Easier to grasp, and without ramification extending into the others.
