The Mechanicus is the 40K equivalent of real life tech support workers who know absolutely nothing about technology safe for the guides they are provided by their company. Like, people who could spend days wondering why a specific device doesn't work when actually it was unplugged but no one checked it out cause it wasn't in the instructions.
Guardsman: Hello, i need tech support Cogitator: Please wait... Tech-priest: Yes, tech support. Guardsman: My lasgun needs a fix. Tech-priest: And how did you manage to break it? Guardsman: It uh, got jammed and didn't have any cleaning for like a week since there was no rags or something around my trench for said week. Tech-priest: *BINARY SCREECH*
Glad to see you mentioned and gave a nod to the religious aspect of the Mechanicus. It's something so often forgotten. I mean even in novels I've seen all of... one short story, the Kaban Project in the Horus Heresy series that actually bothered to really mention or even minorly explore the Cult part of the Cult Mechanicus. So often people just act like they're nothing but Comic Book Mad Scientists as it were. It's kind of sad to me how often that it is forgotten. And leaving things like the obsession with Necrons. When you'd think with their faith and dogma (Particularly towards the purity of human technology and sacred forms dictated by the Cult) that they'd absolutely despise the mockery of the Necrons... or at least fear them as "Men of Iron". Instead of what they do almost every story they run into Necrons... practically be creepy molesting uncles drooling over them.
I’ve never been convinced about their religion. It seems more like a fig leaf for their own naked self interest rather than an actual spiritual belief. For example, Xenos tech is only contraband in the hands of an ordinary citizen, the Mechanicus itself will often use it to improve their own designs. Banning tech research by ordinary citizens is just a self-serving means to reinforce their monopoly, it’s self-defeating on an Imperium-wide scale.
Maybe? I can see it because that was definitely how ComStar in BattleTech worked out. Maintaining their edge on technology, in particular their monopoly on FTL communications technology. With all the "Rituals" and "Magic" being used to disguise practical engineering and mechanical use to outsiders so they couldn't get a handle on it. While eventually ComStar's priesthood as it were forgot that the mysticism was a lie over the generations. And ComStar is the inspiration for the Mechanicus in 40k near as I can tell. From their Technically Independent but wholly dependent on the Inner Sphere to the Techno-Religion, maintaining the best technology merely for themselves, etc. But... I think the issue in 40k is... the Religion would be true. Like the mere fact that the Mechanicus runs so many worlds all praying to the Machine God and such would mean.. that their religion isn't a lie (think how the relatively far fewer humans in the Farsight Enclaves gave birth to a Warp God of the Tau Greater Good). That's just how the Warp works in 40k. Machine Spirits are a real thing, etc. Which would limit the cynical lie of religion as it were with people who are using it only for control like that. But here's the rub. I don't think authors remember that kind of lore. It's like Astropathy. By lore descriptions Astropathy is useless for anything but the most basic of messages. Basically "All Clear" and "We're in Danger" level messages. It's not Space Telegrams. Or Space Skype. Buuuuut.... in order for stories to work the way that they need them to work out plot wise they'll make Astropathy into Space Telegrams and Space Skype, because they can't think of any other way to do it. Similarly with Necron stories and such they're like "We need someone who is going to be stupid enough to push the metaphorical shiny red button and wake them up" and they go "Oh we got Technophiles over here, lets make them do it!" without a thought beyond that. Which sounds weird to think they'd do something over something that basic... but 40k novels and short stories are weird in how even really basic things are broken in lore. Like Dan Abnett keeps writing Pariahness as if it is "Just a kind of Magic Power that doesn't like other Magic" rather than the complete and total absence of a soul and through it the lack of a connection to magic itself. In part because if it worked as lore stated... the story would be ruined. For example when the Wolves come to Prospero to kill Magnus. They bring some Sisters of Silence for the showdown. And Magnus gives zero shits and fries them with magic despite their Pariahness. Because if he couldn't do it (Which by all lore he shouldn't be able to), it would be a hilariously one sided showdown between the Sisters and Russ against Magnus. Cut off from his only advantage that could have made the fight anything but a one sided slaughter you know? Lore taken out back to service Drama like a 2 buck hooker. And I think that's where the odd fascination with things the lores says they should hate (Autonomous Sapient Robots, Xenos Tech, etc) comes from.
Hitomi Salazar I would slightly argue for Magnus' ability in regards to the Sisters of Silence, as Magnus was said to be second only to The Emperor Himself, and Big E could notably tolerate being around the Sisters, as do his personal bodyguard. Given that example, to me it does not seem outside the realm of possibility that one as powerful as Magnus would be able to utilise his powers around those Sisters, albeit perhaps at a somewhat diminished capacity. But, I do agree with most of your other points, especially in regards to the machine spirits. I personally hold favour for the possibility that the Machine Spirits are fragments of the men of iron collective consciousness.
Play the new “Mechanicus” game, it’s about the AdMech fighting their way through a Necron tomb world. One of your advisers is all “shiny archeotech! Gimme gimme”, but another is always telling you to “DESTROY THE XENO HERESY!” The ending changes depending on who you side with (if either).
NIELS MICHIELS The dude that "discovered" (invented) how to transfer his consciousness in a server got an Hive planet full of only the best scientists ever. Basically a lab wide planet with apartment included.
Yes. The man who discovered a better VOIDSHIP had one of that pattern rush-built for him and was given a Warrant of Trade, 50,000 Imperial Guard, several dozen support craft and a yacht full of alien slave girls. I joke of course, voidship schematics were never recorded on the STCs.
MrMortull If it wasn't for the "yatch full of alien slave girls" it would have been something that could have happened. Because intercursing with xenos is HERESY!!!! *BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!* Except if you are a space marine or an high ranking Imperial officer of course ( *cough cough* Tirazyn the Infinite Inquistor waifu *cough cough* the shitload of Eldar waifus *cough cough* the Great Canoness and the Lesbian Farseer *cough cough* ). Or if you are a rogue trader, since nobody is ever going to BLAM you.
Keep in mind that because the Mechanicus is an independent body within the Imperium, they likely withhold their best tech. If they were ever fully integrated into the Imperium, Astra Militarum soldiers might be able to go into battle with more than a flashlight and a cardboard box. Err.. I mean Lasgun and Flak vest.
Adeptus Mechanicus will always be my favorite faction next with the Lamenters. They might not be the strongest of the factions, but imo, they're the most intriguing. Their religion, their technology, their rituals, their lore, everything! Very glad they got some love in the latest Mechanicus game.
You know, an interesting theory might be that the humble las gun is even more dangerous than we know... to their own side. That is because they are slowly *blinding* the men using them. After all, if their weapons are shooting beams of laser energy, that bright energy is going to be reflected back into the eyes whenever it hits particulate in the air, etc - and most guardsmen don’t have protective lenses on. It’s like getting an x-Ray. While one isn’t going to hurt you, how about the thousands of bursts of light from all the shots you and your fellow guardsmen will take during a major battle? Of course, I’d actually just be satisfied if you made a case for just how a las gun looks when firing. The literature seems to skip around it or contradict itself - do they fire big bolts of light like a Star Wars blaster, or is it more like in the artwork where there is a muzzle flash, and then damage is inflicted at a distance?
This would depend entirely power setting of the weapon. Laz guns do have variable energy selectors. At lower power, you'd see the target simply burn, no effect at all. At higher energy levels, the weapon would ionize air along the path to the target and leave a glowing streak of light behind, but that wouldn''t be the laser you'd see, just the ionized gas it created while traveling to the target. You can see this in real life lasers on youtube right now.

While the treaty was named for the mountain of Olympus Mons, it is simply referred to as the Treaty of Olympus "I know this knowledge is a terrible burden to bear, but the Treaty of Olympus bound the fates of both Throne and Forge together in a union that must never be undone." - Adept Seymon - Mechanicum (chapter 3.03) "No, the attack on our world’s information systems was but the first strike in breaking the Treaty of Olympus and bringing the Mechanicum to heel." - Melgator - Mechanicum (chapter 2.05)
If the Emperor of Mankind didn't get the aid of Mars and its inhabitants, there would be no great crusade across the galaxy. So, yes this video alone show how important the Adeptus Mechanicus have greatly helped humanity throughout history. Also, great video the Adeptus Mechanicus of Mars.
I wonder if the current level of the Imperium’s military technology is actually more primitive than we thought when compared to what little we know of their Dark Age counterpart(s). What if the weapons used currently by all imperial military forces are merely Dark Age colonial defense weapons, maybe even militia levels? Just effective enough to defend against smaller threats (like pirates, minor xenos, etc,) but not enough to take on the main military might of Dark Age military.
*The Emperor IS the Omnissiah!* After ten thousand years on the golden throne, what little humanity he had left was burned away with his soul, there is only power, purpose and logic in him now.
I believe it's said that the cult mechanicus are allowed their physical deviation, all the surgical metal bits, by the imperial creed/cult. as such, could the cult mechanicus be able to induct mutants into their ranks without it being heresy?
dwreanchinotan unlikely because the physical deviation is from mechanical reasons rather than biological ones right? They tend to look down on flesh (some exceptions I think) and I’d assume mutation is looked down upon more-so.
dwreanchinotan Aren't mutants basically already allowed? I mean in the guard ranks we have mutants that vary from basically dwarfs to fucking furries that make the Space Wolfs look like humans. The only mutants non allowed are the ones that are CLEARLY tainted by Chaos. Like the Japanese tentacle monsters.
those are all classified as abhumans, being entirely separate species that the emperor allowed in when he was building the empire. mutants are more those random dudes who have scaly skin or stalk eyes that happened due to environmental hazards, such as in the underhive of necromunda. typically the only way mutants can honorably serve the emperor is with a bomb strapped to their neck as cannon fodder (which, in the imperial guard, is saying something).
dwreanchinotan Aren't the Salamanders all technically mutants? Also the inquisition frequently uses mutants that straight up look like deamons and are corrupted by Chaos. There was one dude heavily tainted by Chaos because of his relatives cult of Chaos that after an interrogation transformed in a devil-like creature but maintained mental control over himself and was really pissed about how he could no longer serve the Emperor in that condition.
Is it just me or looking at the admech armory they seem to be more powerful militarly than the astartes in every way except small stuff like melee and aircraft (aircraft variety being made up for in that they can spam storm eagles and voidcraft archeotech bombardment)
Just found your Channel and I love all the videos, they are all super we represented. I was wondering of whether you will do a video on Titans in 40K seeing the end of this Video. What size they are, how fast they walk. turn radius. Where they are built how long it takes to build. I have seen some numbers and such on Wikia but its all so much. and I really am curious if you know something in books or other that is just missing out on wikia and other sites. How tall does it need to be to be classified as a titan and you know all the small details. Does every single race have Titans? how were those build, how long does it take? I mean i have seen some sites say they can be up to 150 meters/500 feet to 200 meters/650 feet Tall How many are there in comparisons, 1 titan every 1 chapter? every 100 Chapters? How are they dropped on the Planets, transportation? Are they able to Stand on Space Ships and turn into makeshift space turrets. Are they Space Proof? Where are they stored when not in use. Are they all on Tera or are they all over he galaxy. What does it take to actualy start building on? I have so many questions. I hope you make a video on it.
2:45 'The single most important task of the entire organisation is the maintenance of the Golden Throne, Where is the Emperor of Mankind is a TURD' .... D:
Err.... No... 180 feet is really on the small side. The largest titans, Imperators, are the size of mountains and have crews numbering in the thousands. They do have cathedrals on them though.
In reality, the consensus is that the Imperator Titan (the one with a cathedral) is 80 - 150 meters tall. If they were as big as mountains the Imperium would have no way of transporting them (which is why Ordinati rarely leave their homeworld).
If Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit were to time travel to the 40k universe and appear before the Mechanicum, would those techno geeks worship him as a god?
This one is easy, a bunch of Technophiles! :D Btw. does the Imperium have something akin to Weather-control stations, Atmospheric dampener or any other form of weather manipulations, be them mechani or psyker?

This would depend entirely power setting of the weapon. Laz guns do have variable energy selectors. At lower power, you'd see the target simply burn, no effect at all.

If the Emperor of Mankind didn't get the aid of Mars and its inhabitants, there would be no great crusade across the galaxy. So, yes this video alone show how important the Adeptus Mechanicus have greatly helped humanity throughout history.
Also, great video the Adeptus Mechanicus of Mars.
I imagine 'Lingua Technis' to sound much like an old school dialup modem.
I wonder if the current level of the Imperium’s military technology is actually more primitive than we thought when compared to what little we know of their Dark Age counterpart(s). What if the weapons used currently by all imperial military forces are merely Dark Age colonial defense weapons, maybe even militia levels? Just effective enough to defend against smaller threats (like pirates, minor xenos, etc,) but not enough to take on the main military might of Dark Age military.
The weapons the Imperium uses are repurposed civilian gear from the dark age of technology
Mechanicus are my second favorite faction( after the necrons),and most liked human faction...
Thanks, videos are well done as always.
76 toasters await you in mechanicum heaven
Great Video! Please keep up the good work!
Omnissiah, Bless my dishwasher.
100 feet sounds impressive but it's only a little further then home plate is to 1st base in baseball, those titans look much larger than that
*The Emperor IS the Omnissiah!*
After ten thousand years on the golden throne, what little humanity he had left was burned away with his soul, there is only power, purpose and logic in him now.
NO I AM NOT THE EMPEROR
@@themachinegodomnissiah2146 Yes you are, don't be silly my lord.
I feel like this is some recruitment video... that or a plea for more oil.
The Greatest Rogue Trader yeah especially considering a bunch got purged for forgetting to put air tanks in a primaris legions droppods whoops...

Wha why It’s just a pipe it doesn’t have a machine spirit yet
Get me a tau tech

I absolutely love the quote at 6:10
two planets for a sharper knife?! damn!
I believe it's said that the cult mechanicus are allowed their physical deviation, all the surgical metal bits, by the imperial creed/cult. as such, could the cult mechanicus be able to induct mutants into their ranks without it being heresy?
dwreanchinotan unlikely because the physical deviation is from mechanical reasons rather than biological ones right? They tend to look down on flesh (some exceptions I think) and I’d assume mutation is looked down upon more-so.
dwreanchinotan Aren't mutants basically already allowed? I mean in the guard ranks we have mutants that vary from basically dwarfs to fucking furries that make the Space Wolfs look like humans.
The only mutants non allowed are the ones that are CLEARLY tainted by Chaos. Like the Japanese tentacle monsters.
dwreanchinotan the fact that you ask if it's heresy is clearly heresy.
those are all classified as abhumans, being entirely separate species that the emperor allowed in when he was building the empire. mutants are more those random dudes who have scaly skin or stalk eyes that happened due to environmental hazards, such as in the underhive of necromunda. typically the only way mutants can honorably serve the emperor is with a bomb strapped to their neck as cannon fodder (which, in the imperial guard, is saying something).
dwreanchinotan Aren't the Salamanders all technically mutants? Also the inquisition frequently uses mutants that straight up look like deamons and are corrupted by Chaos.
There was one dude heavily tainted by Chaos because of his relatives cult of Chaos that after an interrogation transformed in a devil-like creature but maintained mental control over himself and was really pissed about how he could no longer serve the Emperor in that condition.
Mechanicus be sounding like my modem lol
I like how you use text to speech voices and distort them
What is the background music? Very cool ambient industrial soundtrack!
They really need to find the schematics for the satellites they really need it
Wait is this the new mechanicus guy in TTS... Why did I never see his channel before ?!
You have to update this video now! Pteraxii, Serberys Raiders/Sulpherhounds and Archaeopters were added. :)
Cyberdongs for the win!
Little disappointed you didn't have a vox filter
Likes in Lingwa technis
there should be a "bless before view" sign on the play button. this must be fixed _sticks sign on monitor_. done.
Is it just me or looking at the admech armory they seem to be more powerful militarly than the astartes in every way except small stuff like melee and aircraft (aircraft variety being made up for in that they can spam storm eagles and voidcraft archeotech bombardment)

Just found your Channel and I love all the videos, they are all super we represented.
I was wondering of whether you will do a video on Titans in 40K seeing the end of this Video.
What size they are, how fast they walk. turn radius. Where they are built how long it takes to build.
I have seen some numbers and such on Wikia but its all so much.
and I really am curious if you know something in books or other that is just missing out on wikia and other sites.
How tall does it need to be to be classified as a titan and you know all the small details.
Does every single race have Titans? how were those build, how long does it take?
I mean i have seen some sites say they can be up to 150 meters/500 feet
to 200 meters/650 feet Tall
How many are there in comparisons, 1 titan every 1 chapter? every 100 Chapters?
How are they dropped on the Planets, transportation?
Are they able to Stand on Space Ships and turn into makeshift space turrets.
Are they Space Proof?
Where are they stored when not in use. Are they all on Tera or are they all over he galaxy.
What does it take to actualy start building on?
I have so many questions.
I hope you make a video on it.
Mechanicus in summary
A whole bunch of tech hobos scouring the galaxy to molest unsuspecting toasters
*FURIOUS BEEP-BOOP NOISES INTENSIFY*
Can't remember where I read this but isn't there an STC shard for a titan larger than the imperator?
"I replaced my pedal with a floppy dddisk~"
(The fabricated general 2014)
A tech priest talks about other tech priests.
So he can praise the Omnissiah while others praise the Omnissiah.
2:45 'The single most important task of the entire organisation is the maintenance of the Golden Throne, Where is the Emperor of Mankind is a TURD' .... D:
They are worshiper of Toaster God
I thought the largest Titans were about 180 feet tall but I believe that's with a cathedral on top.
Err.... No... 180 feet is really on the small side. The largest titans, Imperators, are the size of mountains and have crews numbering in the thousands. They do have cathedrals on them though.
Thank you for the clarification :)
In reality, the consensus is that the Imperator Titan (the one with a cathedral) is 80 - 150 meters tall.
If they were as big as mountains the Imperium would have no way of transporting them (which is why Ordinati rarely leave their homeworld).
If Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit were to time travel to the 40k universe and appear before the Mechanicum, would those techno geeks worship him as a god?
Cogboys represent!
Imagine the techpriest found a laptop
oh yes tell us all about the glorious toaster boys, im sure your note biases at all
Moar AdMech lore please Papa Cogboy!
This one is easy, a bunch of Technophiles! :D
Btw. does the Imperium have something akin to Weather-control stations, Atmospheric dampener or any other form of weather manipulations, be them mechani or psyker?
Alexandru von Carstein Zarovich Cantacuzino They have access to advanced near-DAoT terraforming technology.
What does DAoT?
Shorthand for Dark Age of Technology
It's awesome, that's what it is.
I'm surprised the Space Wolves didn't destroy the STC in their total devastation of an enemy.
Titans can lay waste to entire armies, yet are destroyed themselves en masse... the emperor is not pleased
Political science theatre 40k did an episode on this, check it out
I wanna see someone slap a bushy white beard on an Adept and try and pass them off as Santa.
They would then be issued a "perfectly working" plasma gun at that point and sent to the guard.
1000024232 WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE LORD INQUISITOR, NOW HAVE AN TOASTER!
Ave Deus Mechanicus.
*Incomprehensible binary screeching to the omnisiah*
So my followers will give a planet to a guardsmen just because they found advance combat knife

Yes it is

void dragon:deciever? that you? or a shard of you?
deciever:uh-uh heyyyy void dragon...uh...
void dragon:well im going back to sleep,wake me when i need to troll cawl again *snoring*
What happend to the guy who discovered an STC for a toaster?
If the Astra Militarum accepted Mars grade augmetics, they'd be unstoppable.
...billions of servitors, muahahaha.
Can a human be rebuilt using only toasters and cyberdongs? If so how?
From the moment I was capable of understanding the weaknesses of my flesh it disgusted me , I long to rid myself of these weaknesses and strengthen them with the purity of the machine.
Ave Deus Mechanicus!!
