the processional of the Damned remains as one of Warhammer 40k's creepiest and most obscure mysteries. it is a vast graveyard of ships that exists out in the khornous expanse and frequently lures rogue traders to their doom. someone or something is calling all of these dead ships together for some unknown purpose. Lets dive in to another one of Warhammer 40k's Grim dark mysteries!

Got a ton of them a few months ago and def nice stuff and really cool that they're a bit longer too! Bit thin, but so far that hasn't been an issue.
tampa bay area? floridaman creates 40k channel
If some one could make a scary movie out of this story something simular to the "event horizon" movie. This could be a good window into the 40k universe as a fore runner for henry cavill 40k tv shows.
Speaking of scary 40K lore videos, can you review Pariah Nexus please. I know there are only 3 episodes so far but as a Necron fan i think they trully awesome as a singular Necron sniper wiped out an entire Ultra marine group captain included. Made me feel great as i finally have something other then a book to show those halo fan scums that the Space Marines they use as evidence to make the halo Forunners look stronger is actually a weakling from the 40K universe. Amd that is why 40k always wins. That battle really shows a lot of the Necron technological superiority without making the space marine look primitive and i love it.
I was just going to ask Wes about that. That is the new series done by the guy who did Astartes right? I saw the nerfed version of his original series that made my blood boil. I hope they gave him creative freedom.@@tusk3260
Here's how I would play it (assuming I was the DM of a Rogue Trader campaign) you go to the black star hoping to loot some valuables, once there you pick out a target and approach it with a shuttle, no point risking the main ship. There's ghostly apparitions, strange sensor readings, you open the airlock and there's a skeleton in a spacesuit floating right in front of you, it's all very creepy but nothing attacks you, there's no psychic presence attacking your mind. If anything you're starting to feel a bit cocky, it feels less threatening and more like someone's trying to scare you, like this is some cheesy carnival haunted house ride, that nothing here is actually dangerous. As you explore the ship you find all kinds of wonderful treasures, all the while being subjected to creepy whispers from around corners, things randomly falling over making a lot of noise, more skeletons surprising you as if place there by some prankster, it's actually kind of funny. Until you notice the clothes one of the skeletons is wearing, the weapon on its belt, the epaulettes on its shoulders and medals on its chest, the cybernetic eye in its skull, they all match yours exactly, shaking you reach into its pocket and retrieve an all too familiar locket containing an all too familiar photo. You key the comms and tell everyone to drop everything, that we are leaving NOW, as your make your way back to the shuttle there's more skeletons on your path, familiar skeletons, indeed this ship seems familiar. As you enter the hanger you see the ship's name written on the wall and you look away refusing to believe it, surely it's an illusion, just an illusion, nothing more. You're shocked more by what's missing, your shuttle, you key the comms again angrily and demand to know where it went only to see it on approach. The response is almost impossible to discern through the interference, you barely make out "-ay again?" and opt to ignore them because the shuttle is arriving. You float in front of the shuttle door in your space suit, you're absolutely livid that they left you behind, even if it was for only a short while, but your fury is completely forgotten the moment the door opens revealing yourself, in the flesh, looking at first surprised, then amused, as he steps forwards and pushes your paralyzed body out of the way. The last thing you notice before you tumble off into the void is the reflection of a skull, your skull, in your helmet's visor. You scream and scream and scream but nobody can hear you and suddenly you know what's causing all the comms interference, it's the screaming of the billions who are likewise trapped in this graveyard.
Most underrated comment ever... chillz dude
Good shit I'd play with you
dude, that is just nightmare fuel right there. like seriously what happened just now and when did it happen?
lol
Wait so you're in there three times, or all the skeletons are you?
40k desperately needs more eldrich horror. Love the idea that the black star has nothing to do with chaos.
Stuff like this, the Hadex Anomaly pre-Rift, the Ghoul and Halo stars, the Deep Warp, the _unknown_ is the scariest thing always.
40k desperately needs some phuken hope and light, its ridiculously bleak...
@@pokeyerfacelol nah, as if true reality is any more hopeful than this lore xD
Isn't it kind of all eldrige
@@crazychase98 Kind of, but a core part about Eldritch horror is fear of the unknown. As the reader we have really deep knowledge on how each chaos god functions, on how each faction operates, that sort of thing. Having something truly unexplainable makes it feel way more Eldritch.
A graveyard of ships drifting in the void around a dark star? I’m in.
Wanna die before you turn 16 ,lol?
Aye. The recent "Ahsoka" show had a planet with a ring made of dead Space Whale bones. That's Metal as f*ck, and a drifting ship graveyard is even more Metaller. Quite literally, it has way more iron and lead by weight.
Now, a demon world what's also a junkyard demon world with a planetary ring what's made of dead Spaceship wrecks... That'd be Metal-est.
Think like an ork.
"If I bring every gun I can find, nothing can stop me."
@@theguylivinginyourwalls Last time I "thought like an Ork", I wrecked my best friend's van and spent the night in jail.
@@andyb1653 Was it fun?
Ya know what this reminds me of? The Omega 4 Relay in Mass Effect 2 when you attack the collector Base and you see the gravyard full of ships from past cycles.
totally makes me want to watch that part again
fuck the suicide mission was FIRE!
YESSS
That's where 40k got it from....
@@Xingmey or the other way around. or they both got the idea from another story. 40k and Mass Effect both have a lot of Lovecraftian overtones. Hell the comatose Reaper where you find Legion, the early part of the level has terminals based on the Call of Cthulu. If you're curious, because its in emminent domain (sp?) the entire Cthulu mythos is available digitally online. I first listened to it on a horror audio book channel here on youtube called "horror babble."
These niche videos about topics that HAVEN'T been covered dozens of times already is the main reason I watch your channel. Keep it up with these old, weird bits of lore that no one else has heard of!
Also, these 20-30 min videos keep my attention way better than the 40-60 minute ones. I have to set time aside to watch one of those, but something like this I can watch as soon as it pops up on my feed!
It has always been hinted that there are plenty of entities in The Void that even the Chaos God's dare not trifle with and will avoid at all cost.
I have a feeling that this is one of those
I like the theory that the ghoul stars are like that because they overlap with some weird nightmare dimension unrelated to the warp. I think it would be cool if this was the same thing.
It does sound interesting, that there might be a plane of existence that makes the warp look like a drug/booze-fuelled fever dream by comparison.
How many nightmare dimensions there gonna be?
@@alexmartin3143 yes
Just use the existing deep warp
I remember a short story with two Space Marine Chapters and the Adeptus Mechanicus that they are exploring a space hulk, and in the middle was a 25 millennia ship with an AI that could hack their terminator suits. There is a plethora of amazing possibilities for history and having dark age of technology peeking around the corner or similar eldritch environment. Hope the writers keep it in mind for this space.
I really hope the upcoming Rogue Trader game from Owlcat incorporates this somehow. Exploring a fleet of haunted derelicts sound sick as hell.
The fact that there are so many ships from so many sources from all periods of time would also let the people in charge of modelling it all go absolutely ham in their designs.
Maybe with some kind of sanity stat like darkest dungeon or amnesia.
I'm hoping it at least does Warhammer justice and not just a BS RPG with Warhammer skins
Unlikely, because that RPG is not exactly about exploring unknown IN PERSON, only adding relevant informations and estimated warproutes, inside already KNOWN map, by starship. And even if the rougue trader SOMEHOW finds there functional STC for Phalanx-like warships, and SOMEHOW comes back into the imperium with it, there is no in-game bonus, that might realisticaly and in time bring (and have any effect on the game itself, with exclusion of some final "happy-end" final trailer.
Judging by the whats is released in the EA this specifically, no. The concept of flying Dutchman ships, hulks and crashed wrecks, yes.
My Rogue Trader DM actually wrote his own adventure on this, and we played it for Halloween last year. He is an amazing story writer and DM. To this day we still talk about it and how great it was. Best part of our still going adventurr.
2 videos in one week? You good dog?
Not complaining
My reaction precisely. Minus the dog part
@@richardhall1667🤓 "My fine vocabulary whilt not contain such derogatory drivel"
Mans got some catching up to do 💪
Dawg* for the love of God please don't refer to people as "dog"
I love the fact that you do both semi mainstream content on the main groups within Warhammer, Then we get bloody gems like this and all other horror vids its a blessing to have you Wes dont doubt the impact no matter how small you have on people
Yes, more grim dark horror lore! For the month of horror
Aw cmon, Halloween isn't about horror. It's so we have a chance to see all our dead friends again and say "hey what's up with you? I see you've lost an arm since last time, I bet there's a cool story behind that!"
It’d be so cool to have a Spacehulk shooter game where you’re exploring the Processional of the Damned. I’d say it’d have to be Deathwatch though, because only the Inquisition could pull in the absolutely incomprehensibly vast amount of resources needed to even begin to chart such an edifice
These kind of obscure videos are always super interesting, especially the mysterious stuff like this. Also, while I definitely prefer the longer form videos, these medium form videos are still great, they hold my attention much better than the shorts and sub 15 minute videos. some topics you can't write an hour long video on even if you do have the free time for it.
GW has got to revisit this at some point, this single entity/phenomenon deserves it’s own dedicated book series. Great work Wes! Your narration kept me hooked the entire video
What if it's a C'tan?
@@Sorrowdusk I mean, it's a black hole, so probably not but you never know.
@@seth468 no i think he means a c'tan the star sucking gods which the necrons worked with and later destroyed in their backstory
{edit} i thought you said that they mean its a black hole
Yay! Please do more Creepy Countdowns or Mysteries for Spooky Month please! I love these so much and from my FAVORITE Warhammer 40K UA-camr. Maybe the Black Star is Komus the Tyrant Star.
I think you're on to something and there's probably some kind of connection between them since they both come from the rogue trader RPG. Also thanks!😃
@@weshammer Just a minor correction, the Tyrant Star came from Dark Heresy's 1st edition, where all FFG's main overarching plotlines were established and later expanded upon in their other systems (Rogue Trader, Black Crusade etc.)
Theory: Maybe the black star in the center is an old night creation, a beacon that sends coordinates to the Machine spirits drawing them near it and the humanoids are the beacons repair drones that got corrupted over time and the "spirits" are hologram guards, there screams are like a weapon that got degraded over time.
Oh God you live in my hometown. I genuinely wonder if we have common connects. This video really helped make my rough week better. My pup got attacked by another dog and this is helping me replace her gauze. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos ❤. It is always appreciated
Sorry to hear that, I hope she heals up soon :(
I appreciate that Wes. Keep doing that good work, I'll keep supporting from afar as your 813 fam
Ironic twist. It was his dog.
The ships and crew that never returned... have maybe just not returned yet. Because of the time variances, they may reappear in 50K
just a game about scavenging groups competing and discovering the stories in this ship graveyard, would be so awesome
It is a great setting idea, so many possibilities.
It almost sounds like it is connected to the Tyrant Star with the whole black star deal. Also it is in the Calixus secto (And Kronos Expanse), where a lot of weird stuff like the Eye of the Abyss lurks, so it wouldn't be surpising to find some ancient being present there.
It almost seems like whatever present there is older or than almost any being known and that is not a warp being. It also sounds like it could even have something to do with the H'Rud that the Iron Warriors fought preheresy, as the latter had weird time powers (Such as super fast aging).
To be fair, this is true for almost all FFG's creations in the 40k setting: Every ruleset they made until the 2nd edition of Dark Heresy was tied to an overarching plotline directly or indirectly connected to one another by proximity, cause and consequence, or the long forgotten exploits of an ancient and nearly extinct Rogue Trader Dynasty.
My personal guess is the black star is some form of physical representation of the phrase "lost to the void". The black star being the darkness between planets and everything that dies in the void in a non violent end is given to this creature. the hollow men could be some sort of representation of the lost souls of the dead planets. Lingering and stuck serving the black star.
Still very eerie and scary.
Barely a minute and a half in. "Carcasses of dead planets." And I immediately thought of Cadia... Imagine it joining this procession...
This is my theory: the graveyard is vashtorr realm in real space, the reason why ships are going to the graveyard is because vashtorr is calling the machine spirit of the ships, and the reason the astronaut dude is breaking down the ship is to send the metal to the forge of souls.
I like these grimdark mysteries.
They are fantastic.
Thank you weshammer.❤
Wow, what an incredible video! I couldn't help but get lost in my imagination while watching it. The idea of ancient vessels and their lost souls making a powerful comeback is truly captivating. Just picturing a necromancer with billions of souls and planet-destroying vessels appearing in the midst of a massive space battle sends chills down my spine. The chaos, the volley of apocalyptic weapons, and the crews leaping from one ship to another... it's like something out of a majestic collection of epic sci-fi tales. Thank you for sharing this mind-blowing concept, WesHammer! #LostSoulsRise
I think the the processional of the Damned is just a way to explain why the milky way isn’t just littered with massive dead ships everywhere, although I feel like that would be cooler in a way? like the spaces between planets are just chalk full of ships that no one dares enter because their haunted or something
Things so unknown and so ancient, they may from the beginning of universe itself. Forces and intelligences that make the Chaos Gods appear parochial.
Hell yeah, sign me up. Mysteries are always more enchanting than answers.
Great job, the Jericho Reach or Calixis Sector are a seemingly endless source of creepy stuff too should you need more inspiration, like the Hadex Anomaly, the Disciples of Thule and so on.
Some sort of psychic weapon perhaps? Contained mainly inside the blackhole so it has no longer has a siren call on living ships, but the dead can't resist.
This would make a great horror movie. Have a human spaceship show up, following the cries for help from the human-mutants. Bring in a hollowman or two. There you go, Event Horizon 2.
I love these stories, it's like the 1st Alien movie or The Event Horizon movie, you know, Scifi Horror. A spaceship graveyard and unknown entities, fantastic.
(Story idea)
Nice one Wes, that was very cool... I was thinking recently if there could be some way to collect all the lost ships from the warp together... perhaps something surrounding the story of the time ship from the past who lost its captain to the imperium and went mad...
She gets found by a pepetual who has fled the imperium and he is that old he remembers the time she was from. they join forces and he convinnces her that they can correct the path of the imperium, but that they need to search for and collect the lost shiips and technology.
He learns of blackstone and realises that it can protect from chaos and the warp and that with it, AI will no longer need to coolclude that wiping out mankind was the only option to fight the warp entities.
With this knowledge he and the time ship could find and recruit the sattered men or iron and clay, reclaim lost stc vessels and tech and equiped with blackstone spires start to save the lost and damned from the warp.
working even with necrons, they build a safe area shrouded from the physical universe and pritected from corruption via blackstone emitters around a star.
They then begin recovering and salvaging from the tides of the warp. building a fleet the like has never been seen... its job to push back chaos and bring back huminity from the brink of collapse under tyrany and oppression that all bar the wealthy or privilaged live in.
Within the temporal swell that hides the project, the planet Hope thrives as members of many races and peoples from across time work together to build the armada.
True there are those who opposed the work or who proved unreasoning, and so they are put to work in the mailstrom itself, tasked with strippping the wreaks and gathering the ore from the dead worlds that are trapped in the warp well outside the temporal bubble
I must say you are really good at telling creepy stories. I would listen to a full series
I really liked in your ad for into the am, the part when you explained the shirts are longer than average. As a tall male with a longer torso, I honestly have difficulty finding shirts that are long enough but not too loose.
random, but thank you
I love the idea of a legit lovecraftian Eldritch Horror and not just another warp entity, but something much more terrifying and beyond even the Warp existing in 40k and adding this greater layer of dread to the setting, that there’s more then just Chaos out there far worse
This was a large part of the FFG lore, with all of their settings hinting at a greater forces than any known so far at play, all tied to one another by mysterious and often rather disquieting coincidences, similarities or a single infamous family's dark legacy: that of the Haarlock Dynasty of Rogue Traders.
I love the idea of Eldritch horror in 40K too. Something much more difficult to understand than the Chaos Gods, who's motivations are so integral for their existence. Transcendental horror is what I would like to see more of.
Dude, imagine bloodborne execpt it takes place in 40k.
@@PhthaloGreenskin oh shit dude that’s a nightmare times 1000 right there
Or you know...maybe some writers learn to write chaos correctly, since it is supposed to be the most terrifying thing.
I love the obscure lore videos they've been a real help for me. I'm running a warhammer 40k setting dnd game and these give me quest and story ideas like crazy❤
Huh, never heard of the Processional of the Damned before but it does actually sound like the lore I've written for Port Imperial the homeworld of my homebrew Astartes chapter called the Void Phantoms which is a planet sized mass of asteroids and spacehulks that formed around an ancient massive device of xeno origin that draws stuff from the warp and realspace but somehow said device also cleanses the warp taint from whatever is within its area of influence over time.
With the potential that Darktide brings I really hope they allow us to travel around the 40k universe some more to areas like this.
I don't know if it would be reasonable, but it could be a trash can for the defeated hulks left in eldar space. The elder move them here so they 1 aren't left making a mess in elder space and 2 so any possible beacons aren't in elder space, and 3 so they aren't something sitting out front of hidden elder object that would be a reason for the other races to check out.
Or it could also be a higher level being collector. Stop touching his relic collection of toy space ships!
This is actually pretty interesting, I started reading the rogue trader core rulebook a couple days ago to run a campaign and I'm very early in the book, but this makes me want to read more right now!
13:26 also using the prompt “an entity of unimaginable cosmic horror” creates some really great a.i image results
New faction in the future? Ghost fleet of Millions and worlds just chilling with a ??? pulling more in. Could you imagine a large scale 40k campaign where all of that just suddenly invades everything? Like Game of Thrones Army of the Dead and White Walkers, but in space. All factions fighting the same enemy (and sometimes each other) where each planet or battle lost feeds the enemy numbers. Say 2000 pts vs 2000pts, player loses and the Ghost fleet gains 2000 pts kind of thing. I feel like I should write this out lol.
That actually sounds pretty cool, like a 40k take on Vampire Coast
It's the warps toilet it's all gotta be dumped out somewhere 😂😂
I really enjoy these lesser heard story's, characters,places it's the saying "there's more to Warhammer than orks and marines" which is so true,we need a chapter to venture to this place I'd personally love to hear more about this place or something more mysterious in the Warhammer universe 🤘
Great video dude 💯
Though there are plenty of mysteries I'd like to see a video on, I am particularly curious on other people's takes on the Night Cult and the Servants of Twilight: both being incredibly powerful secret societies by the fear their names alone carry, both of which can be found in the Disciples of the Dark Gods supplement of Dark Heresy's 1st edition. As someone who obsesses over the FFG 40k lore, having been trying to piece together every little cross-reference and implied truth into a somewhat cohesive whole for the last ten or so years, every fresh idea is a welcome one to broaden my perspectives.
Wes! Thought I'd float a content idea to you that I have seen very little coverage over! The characters Babbit and Clodde! Babbit being a former Astra militarum ratling sniper and Clodde, a bone'ead Ogyrn also former AM. They have two books, Dredge Runner and The Wraithbone Phoenix. Both are pretty damn great books with TWP having quite a few different abhumnans as characters and even some Xenos! Just thought they could make for some more goofy but detailed content as their books are serious and also pretty damn hilarious!
This is the first time i've heard of this part of the lore, but for some reason, the first thing that came to mind as a possible purpose is that this is some malevolent force that is gathering ships and oddly useful debris across time and space in order to have a surprise force of previously dead ships when the time is right. I doubt they'll ever come into play in future lore, but it would be cool to see if it ever does.
I think this is still in lore. because when Guilliman came across something like this when going to Terra and got thrown into the deeper parts of the warp by magnus when Guilliman left from macragge after he got revived. This could just be something else though
Wes you absolute legend, I gotta say, your videos are top notch stuff! I feel like there's too many content creators out there who ride the coattails of Warhammer because it's just kind of this cool nerdy thing, but I love the actual enthusiasm and passion you have for the hobby
My best guess is to what the dark star is is that it could be Nurgle's real world presents outside of the Warp. We do see him was a giant mass of decay, and this could be his body making itself known in the real world.
It could also be a ca'tan shard that the necrons lost controle of
@@jarredbartley7642 Well, what ever it is, not only is it dense enough to work like a black hole, but also cause fluctuations in gravity, sending objects that should have moved in closer further away instead.
Since Nurgle is the god of biological decay, maybe this is a manifestation of the god of technological decay... Or more likely it is just something cool that GW came up with as a setting for Rogue Traders to go adventure in.
@@inthefade well i do admit it's very cool
Ok, spooky warp mysteries aside, It is clearly a black hole. The time effects Wes described are precisely what happens in the vacinity of a black hole. There is nothing else it could be unless they want to write in some other black-hole-identical thing that isn't actually a black hole. Maybe it's a sentient creature that grew so huge that it collapsed on itself.
Since the loss of sanity is the main hazard of traversing the Processional of the Damned, I wonder whether an expedition to the place would fare better if purposefully crewed with only highly functioning psychopaths, machine spirits included.
I have a question to the War40k community. Are Orcs immune to the influence of the Chaos Gods? Is there something like Chaos Orcs?
Short answer, no not really 😅
Longer answer: they are immune, cause they are very dedicated to the waaaaagh already
In older editions, some Stormboyz drifted to Khorne. There were also cases of Orkz mistakening Nurgle as an Ork. And of course, there’s Tuska Daemonkilla who became addicted to krumping Chaos to the point he’s now happily fighting in Khorne’s Brass Citadel.
Mork and Gork are their gods. Or Gork and Mork depending on who you ask. For reals though, the orks were crafted to be physical and have belief affect their technology. They are said to have a blankness that makes the warp disregard them. Not blanks like human blanks, where psykers get uncomfortable around them. More of a basic blankness, where they are invisible to the warp. Human psykers can kill them with warp powers. On encounters of orks meeting warp demons, they just think they are a strange race. Dem orky boys shred dem like any other tings needin shredin.
There are examples of Chaos Orks, but generally they are very resistant to it.
Im pretty sure i read somewhere that chaos orks are a thing. But they are very rare as orks have several ways they protect themselves against it (unknowing ofcourse)
First of all Orks all already have a relegion focusing on Gork and Mork. So they tend to just keep following those instead of chaos gods.
Also if an ork notes another ork being un-orky they will either kill it or exile it.
But im pretty sure i have read about stormboyz that followed khorn.
And i think i have also heard about nurgle corrupted orks somewhere
When i was younger i saw how popular Warhammer was but never delved into it. Ever since Rogue Trader (bc i love me a good CRPG), im absolutely INVESTED in Warhammer lore. There's so much going on in this universe at one time its hard to keep track for me, but i enjoy this content so that as i play Rogue Trader i have a better understanding! Thanks Wes! You kinda made my interest in 40K skyrocket! Definitely subscribed!
"Hey, who turned off the lights?" - last known transmission of "Library of Macharia", lost with all hands in the Procession of the Damned, circa 817.M41
Fantasy Flight Games did a truely great work in fleshing out a particular part of the 40k universe. And they kept it low-key for the universe.
Our GM is incorporating this into our long-running RT game. I'll have to point her to this video and your channel Wes, she's a 40k lore junky so this'll definitely give her ideas to help flesh it out.
It is the essence of the Emperor building his massive fleet for when he return to take out all of Chaos and restore mankind to their rightful place as the rulers of this galaxy. It just fits.
Thanks for this type of lore. It's great background for homebrew ideas that are off the beaten track. Keep it going!
I would really love to find out more about the planet Arkunasha. I still haven't found any further info on this rust desert and its vampiric storms, other than what was told in the Farsight books.
Who wants Wes to have an Orktober video?

Just came home from work.
Saw Wes's video.
And thought:"Today is a good day for us"
...
And for the Emperor!
SOMEWHERE IN ANOTHER REALM. AT A GATHERING OF THE END:
Ynnead- "I have an inquiry for everyone. Someone has been stealing my ships and preventing their passage through the Webway. Which one of you is cheating? We had an agreement."
Grandfather Nurgle- *Picking nose*
Nagash- ...
Morr- Don't look at me.
Other Lords Of the Pantheon- "Nope. It wasn't me! Not this one! NEGATIVE! Nuh uh..."
Ynnead- "Fine. Then I guess the deals are off. I'm gonna go pay a certain someone a visit..." *Opens portal to Guilliman*
Grandfather Nurgle- "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!! YOU GET BACK HERE!!!"
Nagash- "Dibs on helping the Orks! This is gonna be FUUUUUUUN!"
Gork/Mork: "You WHAT?"
Morr- "Can I..."
Everyone- "NO! NO MORR!"
Morr- "Ahhhhhhh dang it! You guys get all the fun..."
Khorne- "You break your pact Ynnead... You will be the next addition to my throne!"
Ynnead- *Sticks tongue out and walks through the portal*
Slaanesh- "Great. Just great. Now there will be more believers that are abusing the I-pick-my-own-death-God loophole. Thanks guys! You just LOOOOOVE to spoil my fun don't you?"
Tzeentch- "Yes and No. It's all in good fun..."
Grim dark mystery time! Love it! This was a fantastic addition.
I love warhammer 40k horror story’s for just how psychologically horrifying they are and this one is the very reason I think 40k grim dark horror is so scary to me. Also great horror video for the Halloween season l love your warhammer 40k videos can,t wait for your next one.
The War in Heaven never ended, at least that is my theory on the odd occurrences outside the warp, the entities that were encountered by the Old Ones other than C'than likely attacked the weakened Old Ones that fled, then using their tech they "broke" space in certain places to stop the other things from making closer to their bread basket in the Milky Way(where their creations were at the time). This action lead to not only the Old Ones disappearing from the galaxy completely but caused several of the problems unrelated to chaos as they tried to prevent those things from emerging from the dark as both the C'than and Old Ones lost, but the War itself became the instigating factor that led to a greater conflict with the things that waited in the dark of space, the Old Ones delayed them but did not stop them.
One retcon, (or Lore Enrichment as I've seen it called) that I'd like to see is to firmly establish the Chaos gods as not even being near the top of the eldritch/celestial food chain. Currently, it seems to go back and forth between the notion that there are bigger/nastier things out there, but they're to alien to understand; or that the Chaos gods are the biggest thing 'now' but there used to be even bigger baddies running around.
Perfect start to the weekend, I got my coffee and a new epic video from our boy Wes
TIL: I can use Doctor Who species in any future Rogue Trader games I feel like running
But seriously, I was REALLY into Rogue Trader back in the day, so when I started watching and I saw the title, I was like, "This sounds familiar..." It was the last ever game of RT I played and we never did finish it, there's just so much I forgot and lost due to my my old comp dying on me before 2019. Thanks for the sudden memories Wes and good job on covering some of the more obscure lore in 40k as that's where all the REALLY good stuff is!
Ah yes the galaxy’s junkyard where they tow all the dead ships to not clutter up the rest of space
My wife and I, love your horror themed videos. We loved your "mysteries of W40K trilogy" as they made us both go, "wow, that is spooky!"
We know that you are working on the "woman in the walls" video and just know, that we can't wait to see it.
So for now, I'll crap open a couple of cold beers, rip open a bag of Doritos crisps and my wife will open up a can of vodka & tonic.
Then we sit back, relax and enjoy the grimdark universe. We love it! 😎
Please continue the great work, regardless of how long it takes. 😁
"crack".......haha. 😏
I absolutely loved that story, the audio version especially. And yes I want to turn it into a video, but I'm still trying to figure out what the best way to go about that is, considering that the three stories that make up wicked and the damned all have a connecting b plot.
It's definitely on the list though! 😃
It's fine. Honestly, don't stress and please take your time. We just enjoy horror as a whole and we absolutely love your videos, for instance, we enjoyed.......
- The Watcher In The Rain.
- The King Of Pigs.
- The Skin Man.
- The Mysteries Trilogy
My wife and I are just horror enthusiasts apparently haha. But just know, that we're here following you, as I say, we love your content and we can't wait to see what you do next. 😃
Tzeentch should look in to this. Sounds like a place he'd be interested in, and he might figure part of ito ut.
This would be a great setting for an RPG or a video game to take place in. Lots of mysteries to explore, varied settings in all the different ships. Massive potential for enemy types and variety. It's a cosmic playground ripe for the pickins.
I am still new to warhammer 40k but love your vidoes dude keep you rock
100% something that makes the chaos gods look like a litter of kittens. Something so powerful its very presance breaks dimentions and spacetime. I like me some lovecraft lol
Perhaps there is a line of code that has been copied when tech is recreated bringing ships here for 'help' when damaged. But its so buried under command checks when the crew is alive it cant trigger. Also this may be where the gutter of the warp comes out. Depositing trash. Then some horrific attack broke reality here - perhaps birthing some dark power or 'killing' them. I like killing the black star can be their corpse - and the original facility meant to recover ships was warped and lost. The nearness of rotting darkness making the warp infuse normal space.
It feels like this place is the physical manifestation of the Well of Eternity. Based the video there's no possible way any of the chaos gods wouldn't know about the parade.
Well it's not like anyone else was recycling all those old ships. Good to see an unknowable eldritch being thinking about sustainability.
There is an assumption that many expeditions are considered missing.
In fact, they returned - but not at the right time.
Thank you for ur work!!
RELAX. NO RUSH. DONT BURN URSELF OUT. U & Majorkill got me hooked on 40K, we need u healthy, Brother.
Great vid, always love seeing the old FFG 40k stuff brought to the forefront!
One quick correction though, "Demense" is pronounced as "Domaine". Demense is the YE OLDE TIMEYE FRENCHE spelling of the word so obviously they would never pronounce it like it was actually spelled.
In English it is pronounced how he pronounces it and has a different meaning than domain is usually associated with.
This sounds cool as heck and I really hope we get to see a glimpse of this in Owlcats upcoming Rogue Trader game.
I like to think there a ancient ship from the dark age of technology just hanging out there filled with insane horror and technology.😅
Small part of the emperor still collecting ships for his resurection.
Happy days :) story time with wez is quickly becoming one of my fav youtube things
The idea of a massive graveyard of a billion ships surrounding some eldrich entity of existential doom doesnt suprise me, that it doesnt have the entire AdMech hasnt decended on it rubbing their greedy little mechadendtires together in glee at all the Arceotech seems a bit more odd
I’m getting to the point that I can’t sleep without listening to these videos by weshammer 😂 they are so good
I LOVE this. I like to think the star and vouce is a genius loci in space. Not quite an eldritch horror, not a warp entity. Something born from all the woe and suffering and death of the galaxy, the unquiet echoes of violent death and misery shambling to an interstellar graveyard where they can lay quiet beneath the dark star-shepherd and strive for some modicum of sleep, however uneasy. If nothing else, it seems this place desires quiet and darkness and stillness, despite the disruptions of lingering nightmares. This is where ghosts go to decay and be knit back into a universe that roils with violence. It's not a peaceful place or a safe place, but it's for the dead, and the dead keep it.
(I also like the Destiny skull at 16:35 😆 seen that many times in my years of play)
Rogue Trader RPG I have that. I don't remember reading this but I'm slowly reading through what I have! Sucks that GW doesn't put more in the RPGs!
"A call that only the ships machine spirit and dead crew can hear"
Ah, so we're talking an ancient AI? Sure the weird star with tendrils is a bit of a curveball, but who knows what from the dark age of technology could also be there
I love the old FFG content and hope the upcoming crpg features some of the canon mysteries - this ones from 1e dark heresy, but I recommend looking into the Tyrant Star as well
I normally don't comment, but I would love for then to revisit this. Because, honestly... this straight sounds like it could be a C'tan. All but one was shattered! The Outsider, this very well could be them... and would love to see more of that!
Also, hearing more about Flayed Ones would be amazing! Like the short story that GW put out not to long ago was amazing!
I remember when Weshammer was just a cool warhammer dude making UA-cam shorts, now I regularly binge all your longform content and can’t wait for more :)
Love playing the Rogue Trader system, it's part of the campaign I am running. The Processional of the Damned is one of the best settings.
Ay forreal tho, them grimdark stories gonna pay the bills, we love em.
Sounds like H.P. Lovecraft's area of expertise here. Cthulhu and all the mythos of that universe coming into Warhammer 40k. Just the idea sounds pretty cool 😁😁😁
This was really good and creepy; worthy of those scary story TikToks and UA-cam vids.
Listening to this I could hear the "Final Hour" theme from "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" soundtrack. Oddly fitting! The Processional of the Damned reminds me of the game Barotrauma with its wrecked submarines and husks too!
Perhaps it's the area where the Necrons killed the C'tan they deemed was okay to kill because it only represented a minor law in space time, and as vengeance released the flayer virus on Necrons as it died, perhaps this is it's grave in real space, and what's going on around it is reminiscent of whatever law it used to represent, and/or a piece of it's malice left behind after being killing and creating the flayer virus
