#warhammer #warhammer40k #40k
Warhammer 40000 is a world of expansive lore and a crazy amount of backstory. Today, I create a digestible version of it to understand Warhammer 40k for new people. You will learn about the Necron lore, Eldar lore, Emperor lore, and more in this timeline of Warhammer events!
I usually like to put 40k lore on my second monitor while I work, but god damn if this isn't some primary monitor content.
ey i didnt know you liked warhammer, love your videos too :D
My guy, make a sculpt of literally anything 40k. Really love your content and happy you like Bricky, my beloved
There are so many goopy spoopy nids you could sculpt for Halloween season
@@noobhunter217 i would love some spooky scary necron bois, but ngl in 40k are a lot of things that goes good in halloween
This man understands!
"Gods cannot be killed but they can be broken" was such a raw line Bricky holy shit
But they can bé killed, they killed one at least, it just backfired badly when you kill an entity on which the universe rests upon
@Bnvnu who was it?
@@rgama1173 Llandu'gor the flayer
@@Bnvnu Yes. And because of this the Necrons have the flayed ones. Not the best trade. ^^
@@Bnvnuthe exception proves the rule i guess
The ending went so hard. That smooth af transition between telling a story of the timeline into a hype speech to pickup your lasgun ending with the incredible age old saying of "There is only War" followed by that sick transition beat... incredible
Can we agree that Bricky is one the biggest contributor when it comes to bringing new people into the hobby
Indeed. Getting hit in the head with a brick is what makes most people think playing warhammer isn't such a bad idea.
Actually, it's the serie "astartes" that got me into warhammer. But yeah I love bricky's warhammer video
yeah, him n the reactions to his videos have managed to drag me back kicking and screaming
I was attracted to the hobby by 2 things. Bricky's lore videos, and orks (specifically evil sunz)
Yes very much it was him in 2020 that got me in to Warhammer and I'm happy about it
The fact that people are able to consolidate the timeline to only 30ish minutes is wild
_Only_ 30ish minutes
Well, he DID skip everything between the horus heresy and the modern imperium. That's quite a lot of info. Stuff like the scouring, the great forging, the interregnum, the age of apostasy, the discovery and rediscovery of the t'au, the discovery of the tyrannids ang kryptman's exterminatus extravaganza, and of course the black crusades and the reawakening of the necrons.
Hopefully a timeline vide of the age of imperium comes next
@@1estel1ch.42sure, but as a first introduction to w40k? This is amazing, it sets the world well enough for you to have an idea of the major players, and you can tell that more stuff happened, it just wasnt covered, because if you cover some, why not the other?
Arbitor Ian has another aprox. 30 minutes break about it!
History of the entire world i guess is less than 20 minutes long
that closing monologue sent chills up my spine, excellent video for newcomers for introduction, and for old players for hype. congrats on the flavor, brick!
"This weapon has killed 99% of the aliens in this galaxy, unfortunately, you're facing the remaining 1%" goes so hard
Killing 99 lesser demons with Lasgun but turns out the last 1 is Greater Daemon or Chaos favourite Champion
that s indeed a sick line qutable for alot of things too would definetely use it if a new virus outbreak happens again
@@Therestrial205 if the lasgun don't work, me shovel will
Fighting that .1% of bacteria the hand sanitizer leaves out.
Because the creature's in The Warp they keep reproducing nonstop in each micro mili second!!
That little nod to Alpharius when you were talking about the first found Primarch was great
I am Alpharius. This is a lie.
I saw that, it was an excellent little nod to the deeper lore
The bolt pistol to the head talking about the “true” number of primarchs is also top tier
Could you Tell me where I could find out about this?
@@ifinnalychangedmyprofilepi4888their podcast adeptus ridiculous has an alpharious episode and like alpharious the podcast has lies ;^)
It's great that Bricky was able to give Shy a cameo in his new solo video 21:16
And she’s locked and loaded
it's a good day when Bricky uploads a new Warhammer video
Fo Sho
He's been uploading a lot of 40k on adeptice ridiculous
Who is Bricky? Do you mean John Warhammer?
@@Cabr1095If you're a fan of the XCOM series I would recommend checking out the Mechanicus game. If you're a fan of RTS's I would recommend the first 2 Dawn of War games. Lastly if you're a fan of Bomer Shooters I recommend Boltgun. Other than that, most Warhammer games are kind of eh to offensively bad.
That’s true
Side note about the Eldar Fall, they were able to go to such violent extremes with each other because they were immortal. When they died, their souls just reincarnated into a new body, good as new. Therefore, they could murder each other all day long and just keep coming back for more. This changed when Slaanesh was born, after which all Eldar souls go straight to her.
This is kind of important, why wasn't this mentioned?
@@radumotrescu3832 It's one of the parts of the lore that manages to exist but be entirely irrelevant to the modern lore. Remember that the soul stones are a technological replacement for the natural system that the birth of Slaanesh broke. It doesn't get mentioned a lot because 1) It isn't the modern state of the Eldar, 2)Most people forget about it because it has a replacement that works the same way only slightly different so they occupy the same memory unless you're really thinking about it
@@radumotrescu3832because it is an important detail for the fall of the Eldar, not for the entire history of 40K.
That’s like asking why doesn’t school teach us about Matthew Perry in the United States? Well he is a big part of Japan’s history… but in American history, he’d be lucky to find himself a footnote.
@@damobeck1K
@@alexmartin3143 O
One thing to remember with Eldar debauchery: Eldar were effectively immortal and didnt go into the warp but were reincarnated. Their lives were just cycles and it was necessary for them to go to the extreme of each life, experience everything, do whatever. And with no consequence. If you killed someone, they would just come back again. There were no consequences
Yup. Now remember what happens to real world children raised in environments with “no consequences” and we can start to see why and how things went so wrong.
And then, THERE WERE CONSEQUENCES. O HAI SLAANESH.
@@MrSpartan993Galaxy full of IPad Elves. 🤦♂️
That DOES fall apart slighly when you remember that the eldar would kidnap human colonists during the tech age pre-slaanesh. Sure the ELDAR were immortal, but that didn't stop them from turning Colonist Joe into meat slurry for shits and giggles.
@@evanbelisle8464full of the most prominent celebs in the republican party
This, hands down, was the single greatest introductory video to 40k I have ever seen. He summarized what takes me almost 6 hours and a ton of backtracking into a succinct 30 minute video. Absolutely superb work.
Majorkill is better.
I can't decide what to be more excited about; Bricky making another W40K video, or our man getting a Gamersupps flavor. Congrats Bricky!!
And oh what a flavor it is!
@@Idontevenwanachannel I just ordered 🤭
@@Nathesium I’m a simple man, I see abs, I buy
a good thing that he got it.
you wouldn't catch me dead with these things but good for him
why? try talking with someone holding that and not making them uncomfortable.
So to date, The Emperor has eaten 3 billion, 650 million Psyker souls. He's a hungry boy.
That ending though. I can feel Bricky Smiling as he edited that bit with the music drop. Such a great video for anyone looking to get into/understand Warhammer 40k
While Darktide isn't the best of games, it damn well embraced the setting perfectly and gave us some amazing tracks.
Sk8ter (Bricky's editor) did a phenomenal job on this one! These two make a fantastic team when it comes to the pacing and overall vibe of these videos.
@@simoncroft73the song at the end was from Darktide?
@@gabrielchin4161I think it's called Immortal Imperium
@@antonytansom7877 thank you
BRICKHAMMER 40K EXTENDED UNIVERSE
I see what you did there lol as a copy of weshammer
That's genius 😂😂😂😂😂
I picked up Darktide because it was on sale. I watched the opening cinematic and was like WTF IS THIS. THIS GOES HARD. Especially when we have so many other games that play it so safe. I had to learn more about this world and its lore. It brought me here and i can not wait to get even more into Warhammer after this video. Great stuff.
So did you pick up space marine 2
Those Darktide tracks hit so hard. Well done Brick, made me want to go back to it.
No better time than right now. The new patch is a huge step up.
It's seriously fucking awesome right now, I couldn't stop playing it, even in my dreams.
Would you consider a part 2 just covering the 41st millennium? I think it'd be neat to see just when all the famous events we know about actually happen.
Try the Lex, search for M41 - Events
There you go. All the events collated from the codexes and books, on mostly one page
I second that!
and also mention the leagues of Votann
Please let this happen man
Would be wonderful. Although there’s a LOT to talk about and even this is a super quick run-through a bunch of stuff. I really recommend listening to his podcast, Adeptus Ridiculous, if you want more.
Darktide literally makes 40k videos better by their musical scores. That and Mechanicus have given such bangers.
Didn't think it was possible but Bricky made YET another banger of a video...
Would love to see a full story on how the Orc race came to be
Orcs are fun. But the Krork were actually the MAIN reason the necrons “Noped” out after the war in heaven. A species that gets stronger and more intelligent the more war you give it??? Yeah, screw all that. The silent king decided to let the Eldari keep assassinating all the most powerful Krork for millions of years, and denying them open confrontation. Which led to a de-evolution of the Krork race into orcs. Denied anyone but themselves to fight, and their best and brightest constantly being assassinated… It was a problem after 60 million years of Eldari “containment” programs. Fortunately for the orcs, the Nids are giving them a “propa fight” and certain orc strains appear to be evolving forward once more. Not to the point they used to be. An ancient Krork would be MORE than a match for any space marine. But enough to be different from the usual orc hordes.
He did cover Orcs a few times on Adeptus Ridiculous.
kroks are literally 2 time the size of a primarch, Ghazkull is already and half Krok by this standard and he is still growing@@ghironsingh
28:37 that small shift in tone when he says „Selection“ really shows the love he has for 40K.
Almost childlike enjoyment if something, and I mean that in the most positive way.
Jesper Kyd's "Immortal Imperium" is SO GOOD. Probably one of the top 40k songs
SLIGHT CORRECTION: I had the Birth of Slannesh backwards. The hedonism of the Eldar created the age of strife, and the Slaanesh birthed helped remove it. Kind of like a gigantic warp wind that blew it all away. Or mowing your lawn with a nuclear weapon.
If you want to get a more in depth (but still new person friendly) continuation of the lore, check out www.youtube.com/@Adeptusridiculous the Warhammer podcast I do with my two great cohosts
Just wanted to say thank you. You didn't have to break down the timeline but it's very helpful for a 3rd person kinda on looker into 40k. There's so many events and major moments it's kinda hard to tell EXACTLY when they happen without direct purchase of books, audible. Etc. Thanks Brick
Every time I hear the Tekken soundtrack it makes me laugh, cheeky bastard XD
I read '' chaos '' instead of cohosts
I think there's some horus heresy going on.
yo u may wanna censor at 17:01, might've slipped thru in the edit
Well. Gonna go play some Darktide now. 😆
thank you Bricky, for mentioning sororitas abs not even 30 seconds into the video
and for making a flavour better than schlatts titty milk
Amen 🙏
I forgot that was "schlatt's" flavor
Sorry bro but RussianBadger already beat him to the punch
@@heistingcrusader_ad3223 gonna have to hard disagree.
guacamole gamer fart isnt even close to being as good as titty milk
@Stickarms99 i got a sample of gamer fart 9000 and it seems incredibly mid, to me. Haven't tried titty milk yet
The end speech got me so hyped I jumped up, let out a battle cry and proceeded to go on a rampage around my neighborhood. ... It was a wild week

@@korbanhooker7603 thank you, you chad.
@@korbanhooker7603 thanks man👍
for real.
God, that ending was sick... May the Emperor smile upon you, Bricky, for this offering you have given. It's difficult to tell 40k's overarching story in less than thirty minutes, but not only did you do it, you also managed to convey the full emotional context of the setting as well. The individual heroism, those little sparks of hope keeping the dark away, courage not for the sake of evil but for the sake of those at your side - all so well communicated. Amazing job. This is one of my favorite videos on 40k, and I'll be sure to try to show this to anyone who is interested but still new to the hobby.
Man. That last speech? The “in the far reaches of the grim dark future, there is only war” speech?
Chills. I got chills when the music cut it. That was done *masterfully*
Phenomenal upload. 10/10. Even as a long time Warhammer enthusiast, this was such a joy to watch. Great work, Bricky.
This franchise has accompanied me for almost 20 years of my life. This is the first time i'm almost in tears remebering what it means to me and the memories i have associaeted with it. Thank you Bricky, from the bottom of my hearth.
I like that he used the phrase, "writing on the wall" to describe what the wise Eldar foresaw for their race.
Slight correction: It was the birth of Slaneesh that ENDED the Age of Strife. The age had been caused by the psychic buildup of Eldar emotions leading up to the birth of Slaneesh which extinquished the vast majority of Eldar souls in the warp ending the age of strife
Slaanesh's birth scream essentially blew away the warp storms that had isolated pockets of humanity and that had built up over the course of their increasing hedonism.
Was looking for this. The emperor was waiting for the storms to break and be blown away so they could do the crusade.
@@tlcronus Seems less that he waited for it and more that he got blindsided by it to me. I mean, he launched the Unification Wars and the Crusade with tech he'd basically scrounged up from behind the couch cushions in an incredible hurry. If he'd really been planning for this for thousands of years, he'd have been a lot better prepared. He was kind of like the student who's just realized that this paper is due tomorrow and it's 50% of the grade and he hasn't even started yet.
Another slight correction: Knorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle were not around in the War in Heaven. They came MUCH later, in fact more near our modern times. I believe Nurgle is the oldest (though apparently some sources place Khorne earlier still), truly forming from nascent energies during the time of the Black Plague on Earth. The rest came about later.
@@spamhere1123 It is implied that Khorne's initial "spark" emerged with the first murder.
Bricky has come such a huge way in terms of writing and editing since his first 40k faction video which was already really good, it's insane
He really went far with it
Honestly Bricky, beautifully crafted. From audio, to visuals, to the script itself, you are under-rated and I know you can get to 1 Million! Keep up the amazing work.
Henry Cavil needs to hire Bricky as a narrator for his 40k show.
Came here for this comment! Just subscribed to bricky and immediately thought Amazon prime could just refer to him!
It has a nonzero chance of happening since the Cavill-Amazon show is official now
Your original 40K explained video got me into the setting in the first place. Intro videos like this are so important for growing the community. Keep ‘‘em coming!
5:33 "But there are also gods of real space..." _Oh I know those are gonna be the nice ones who fight the warp ones!_ "...and they EAT STARS." _Oh..._
Bricky feeding the reaction community for another 6 months.
I always wondered about the differences between the 30k and 40k eras
Give or take about 10k years
30k was when Imperium was a fascistic empire hellbent on manifesting destiny across the galaxy with legions of gene enhanced warriors.(Also the Imperium was just better off, no threats 20 primarcs +Emperors and millions of astartes.) 40k Imperium a post fascistic theocratic society which literally collapsed beyond repair after the Heresy, clinging to life in a constant fight or flight reflex that is willing to sacrifice everyone to sustain its existence.
@@kesmeseker9593honestly? Well put
@@kesmeseker9593 a note on 30k, I get the feeling that many of the upper echelon of Imperium command was more on the "true-believer" vs "cynical opportunist just out for personal gain" side of this Imperiums Ideology, and also for that reason this empire was hellbent on manifesting destiny across the galaxy, Not and excuse or disagreement with you calling it fascist (its appropriate), I just think calling both 30k and 40k facists, misses alot of nuance of how different the two where,
Both settings are grimdark, but the 30k guys haven’t realized it yet.
The excellence of WH40k Rogue Trader kinda revitalized my interest in WH40k lore videos.
Wouldnt be surprised if you see an uptick in viewers.
The use of the Darktide music is such a good bit of evidence of how good and fitting that music is for warhammer.
What was the music he used at the end
@@Icemage25Immortal Imperium
I never engaged with Warhammer (40k), but something about the universe of 40k is so damn compelling. I love these kinds of videos and hope you do more of them.
You should check out the pinned comment sir, he is involved in a whole podcast all about 40K. Plenty to slack the lore thirst and they've been at it for...jeez is it almost three years? Lol lots to listen to and discover
Well thank you good sir! I can't believe I missed that. Sure is a lot of content to go through holy shit. I will be locking myself in for a while. Thanks again!
Same. I never got into the table-top game, so I didn't think there'd be much left for me in Warhammer without that
I don't think I've ever been so wrong before lol
The speech at the end of the video gave me LITTERAL chills!!!!!!
GLORY TO THE IMPERIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The passion and fun you have while making those videos is so empowering, every video I watch is making me glad you are doing such content
Loved this! I'm and old guy and I have long looked down upon WH40K (because reasons) but a few years ago I dived into it and now I can't get enough of it. I wish it would evolve a bit faster because I don't wanna die before interesting things happen 😀
Dude I got chills with that ending. Theres really something poetic about this garbage universe. I love it!
The minute the montage of "There is only war" popped up, I got so hyped
"That weapon in your hand has killed 99% of the Alien population in this galaxy! Unfortunately for you, you're fighting the remaining 1%!"
I still remember discovering both Bricky's channel and Warhammer lore by the now old "All factions explained" videos back in the day. That was years ago now, I'm painting my White Scars army and reading the Fall of Cadia books. Good job Brick, I'm both happy and mad for being roped into this. Emperor protects, brothers
And this is why I enjoy bricky. He enjoys warhammer for what it is, without embracing the horrible mindsets as acceptable.
From what I can see in this fandom there are people that take the game too serious. Some take offense and want to change it, others take it to heart in a bad way. Bricky got the right mentality.
@@GsusCrustI have to say that it was Bricky who got me to embrace 40k lore (outside of Orks and Kriegsman, because those are both meme gold) but he made me actually understand and embrace the depths that I had previous felt were just derivative)
Coz he aint no heretic!
28:46 This part goes unimaginably hard
This is the most beautiful add transition ever. I actually watched it out of sheerly being impressed.
The first novel i read for WH40k, was Fifteen Hours. I'd say that is also a really good novel for starting out, as it really hammers home the plight of the average soldier in the Imperium. How little one truly is in the grand scheme.
I became aware of this universe like 3 years ago with TheRussianBadger's videos but watching Bricky's last year really got me interested. Now I played Space Marine and Dark Crusade and I'm playing Boltgun, Mechanicus and Tacticus. You really got me, Bricky.
i'd recommend darktide. it had a rough launch but i can finally say its at a good point to give it a go. i hear it's like left for dead, for reference
@@ExtraRaven_it’s essentially left for dead with a warhammer reskin overtop.
Mate, that's the exact same way I got into Warhammer. Difference being is now I play Space Marine, Vermintide 2, Darktide, and Arma 3 with a ton of mods
"I'm gonna burn these Xeno's like I burned the custody papers!"

“It says we can’t do that in the Codex!”
“WELL I CAN’T READ!”
I gotta say, that last section, ending with the famous 40k line hit real hard. Someone definitely cutting onions around here...
Been a big Adeptus ridiculous listener these past few years, still always fun to see the timeline laid out like this in the brickster style, p.s the ab juice looks great can't wait for the next flavour...bripple milk
I tried getting into the lore but felt too complicated, your an amazing storyteller for someone like me who need things to be described more simple but still intriguing and don’t missing out on the details. Thank you Bricky
I don't know if you know this but bricky is on a podcast calls adeptus ridiculous where he goes over warhammer lore in a very simplistic and casual manner. I personally enjoy it quite a lot.
@@baldrtheboulder8927 I do but never started listening to it yet, thanks ✨🌸💖
A little bit more info about how the C'tan came to be. The Necronty basically made them. Ther were barely sentient, eating only from the energy of stars, as he said in the video, but the Necrontyr found them, and put them into machine bodies with very advanced AI, to give them sentience, and it all went down from there
When you realize that every faction and everyone within the factions is a shade of gray, it becomes much simpler. At that point it's really about breaking it down into chunks and going from there.
I love these videos from Bricky, exactly because I can appreciate all those tongue-in-cheek references and "wink, wink, nod, nod" moments. This makes the video interesting both for newcomers and for lore-junkies like myself :)
The final monologue was brilliant! Honest-to-Emperor chills right there. Great job Bricky. :)
Good on you for getting your G-Supps flavor, Bricky! You’re doin great keep it up champ!
Just watched the rest of it, what a masterfully written video.
I like how the tau got a single screenshot and wasnt mentioned by name at all lmao
Verrrry slight correction: the Birth of Slaanesh blew away the isolating warp storms that the decline of the Eldar had brought. That is, the Fall of the Eldar brought the end of the Age of Strife.
The warp storms that caused the Age of Strife can be more accurately viewed as the incubation of Slaanesh.
This is hands down the best explanation I've ever heard for new arrivals, this will be my new video I send to people interested in 40k
That ending speech god damn it gave me chills like you were reading from the book like a commissar
Man this video is so good, if only there was a TH-cam channel that had bricky talk a lot more about Warhammer, like going into detail about some moments of the lore, the factions and even one off stories like rylanor and commissar yarick
Dude there are literally so many. Luetin09 for instance.

Just a week ago I got a buddy of mine interested in the 40k universe. What a time for you to bless us with this video.
Bricky, I really want to commend you - You've made the (in my opinion) the most accessible lore summary for 40k there is.. And you have a great charisma for it because you can feel your love for the setting flow through your words. Legend, Sending this to everyone who needs it!
That ending speech... Chills
Great video! Narration is great and editing is on point!
“Reunited the Thunder Warriors into the f$cking dirt” cracked me up.
I started listening to the Warhammer audiobooks at work to pass the time and they've been a great experience.
I'm a big fan of the Astra Militarum so far. Seeing just how hard humanity will fight to have some small comfort is really interesting.
Thanks Bricky, I think your original Warhammer faction video might have gotten me on this lore train.
PS I now know why we don't talk about Cadia :(
Honestly, this is a perfect video to intruduce your friends into the lore. Well done!
I love that you equate hell to Victorville, CA where I grew up and I couldn't agree with you more.
I had always known about WH40K as a couple of my friends were really into it. They didn't play tabletop, but they played many games on PC, loved the in depth lore, and could talk about it for hours. Only in the past year have I really grown to love this universe. I started by just checking out what the tabletop was actually like. Watching some games played, and eventually grew an interest. Which led me to your videos on WH40K and your style of content just drew me in. I've been watching all of your videos ever since and I especially love your WH videos. I could watch you explain WH lore for hours, and this one was no different. I'd like to attribute your content here and in other places for my interest and desire to play 40K.
Wouldn't be a warhammer fan without Adeptus Ridiculous and Bricky's faction video so I'm definitely hyped for a new 40k vid!
25:18 Damn it now i can't stop imagining the emperor doing korean dashes and ewgf
BRICK ASCENDANT!!!
Holy shit. That ending gave me chills.
It makes me so happy to see bricky looking so good and doing so well. I am grateful to have him around as such a strong figure in the warhammer community. What a guy.
I cannot fucking wait to taste those abs.
by the emperor you did the "There is only war" line so well such cool way to end the video
Imagine taking pre-workout to play videogames.
This video is going to be THE video i show to my friends and others to introduce them to Warhammer 40000. It is such a great contribution to the community. Thank you Bricky.
The only thing better than watching Bricky as a 40k vet, is knowing I get to watch vtubers react to this universe we all love!
I feel called out.
@@gabrielchin4161 I should hope so! If I project any harder trying to convince myself I don't enjoy watching vtubers from time to time, i'll turn into a movie theater! 🤣🤣
28:38-29:35
As entertaining, funny, and meme-y as this video is, this part gives me the chills - of fright and of "hot damn, that's awesome"
Another masterclass in storytelling from Bricky! 30 minutes seemed far too short a time to encompass the VAST history behind the 41st milennium but man can this guy cram a lot of detail into every segment!
"That weapon in your hands has killed 99% of the aliens in this galaxy... unfortunately for you soldier you're fighting the final 1%"
I love this line
this literally gave me chills at the end, that line delivery was outstanding!!
That last section gave me CHILLS bro
Bricky I can't tell you how much i love the more heavy on lore and storytelling videos that you make.
Hope you make more in the future
"you see HORUS this is my WARHAMMER, and I've been in this universe for the past 40k years, so I'll end your HERESY now!"
-Emperor
It will never not be funny how this is called "warhammer" and at no point is a warhammer relevent in the "main" plot. People who don't know about Warhammer Fantasy must be so confused why it's called like this.
Scientists in the year 40,000: **"Why does Guile's theme go with everything??"**
I loved this. Very informative about the 40k universe for a newbie like me and with great comedic timing as well.
Wonderful video.
Couple other details to know: Humanity's primate ancestors were also made by the Old Ones, the War in Heaven ended when a Warp race known as the Enslavers showed up and either killed or chased off most of the Old Ones and their races, and the Emperor was born by a bunch of ancient human shamans seeing the threat of Chaos and ritualistically sacrificing themselves to make the Emperor to fight them.
Oh, and the Orks were once the Krorks and were, at minimum, 12 metres tall*. Yes, Metres. But (supposedly) a lack of good fighting de-evolved them.
*For context, a Warboss that was at least 10 metres tall was powerful enough to lead a Waaagh! that almost destroyed the entire Imperium. They even managed to invade Terra.
Have fun!
After some quick math... with 1000 souls a day fed to the Emperor, since he was incapacitated he has been fed almost 3 BILLION SOULS at this point.
Bricky I absolutely love your videos. No matter the topic or the theme, you make everything that you talk about, sound awesome.
Your love of 40K shines through your voice alone and it fills me with enthusiasm. It makes me go and look up warhammer stuff.
And all of this is only intensified when I listen to Adeptus Ridiculous.
Bricky helps me understand Warhammer as I play only 3rd to 1st person Warhammer titles. Not only does he makes it easier to comprehend but also keeps you engaged.
I could listen to Bricky ALL DAY with 40k lore videos like this.
PLEASE do more!!
Bricky I want to thank you for recommending those four. I really agree they’re the best intro points for someone new to the setting and a good mix of silly (Infinite and the Divine/Ciaphas Cain) and the serious (Horus Rising/First and Only). Too often I see people recommend Xenos or all the eisenhorn novels and I think that’s such a missed opportunity and only emphasizes the grimdark nature of the setting when there’s so much humor in it too.
17:44 "Slaanesh's birth sent storms from the Warp across the galaxy, making travel between the star systems impossible."
I had previously heard that Slaanesh's birth is what cleared the warp storms responsible for ending the Golden Age of Technology, and that The Great Crusade was only possible after Slaanesh's birth cleared the galaxy of storms.
From what i understand that is true but Slaanesh's gestation from the Eldar's debauchery was effectively heralded by the excess warp storms and his/hers actual birth and the resulting death of 90% of the Eldar cleared the storms up
2:20 VIDEO STARTS

What a heater. That last line was on fire, i even felt my throat choke up for a second i was so into it. Fantastic job King
Please do more 40k lore videos. Your lore vids are by far my favorite and there aren't enough
You should look up adeptus ridiculous, that's a.o. bricky going more in depth with lore
My friend introduced me to both Warhammer, and this video, and I have to say, it gave me legitimate chills in the end, seeing it all. I used to watch your League videos Bricky, and now, I have a new reason to watch your stuff and watch it in full enjoyment. This video is a ma z i n g, love the quality, the editing, the *memes* (especially the memes), and overall, how it all drove home. This was awesome. Thanks, Bricky, and thank you editor.
Perfect timing considering the new rush of people wanting to get in (such as myself) due to the console launch of dark tide. Very informative and also gives me a modest bit more investment into the universe.
Couple other details to know: Humanity's primate ancestors were also made by the Old Ones, the War in Heaven ended when a Warp race known as the Enslavers showed up and either killed or chased off most of the Old Ones and their races, and the Emperor was born by a bunch of ancient human shamans seeing the threat of Chaos and ritualistically sacrificing themselves to make the Emperor to fight them.
Oh, and the Orks were once the Krorks and were, at minimum, 12 metres tall*. Yes, Metres. But (supposedly) a lack of good fighting de-evolved them.
*For context, a Warboss that was at least 10 metres tall was powerful enough to lead a Waaagh! that almost destroyed the entire Imperium. They even managed to invade Terra.
Have fun!
