The Orks possess something called the "WAAAGH! Field," a gestalt psychic power where, if enough Orks believe in something, reality bends to their will.
Thing with Nurgle's followers is they dont feel the pain they should be feeling as being walking corpses unless they get cut off from nurgle. To them nothing is wrong with being diseased ridden walking corpses. Also from what i remember Nurgle actually cares about his followers which is why he's refered to as papa nurgle.
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyYes, but the build-up to that is usually unimaginable agony and suffering, begging for death as Nurgle's plagues keep you alive far beyond the point where your body should cease functioning. Some are allowed to die and find peace, while others simply lose their minds, but Nurgle always listens for that little voice in the back of your head screaming 'Make it stop!' or 'I don't want to die!', and if he is moved by your request or your ability to endure without complaint, he might offer some comfort. He will almost never completely remove his 'gifts', but he might take away your sense of pain and discomfort, so you may go about your day unbothered as your guts spill out and drag across the ground, or festering sores bubble and burst across your body like boiling water. Madness is also a gift Nurgle shares, as your mind shatters and all that's left is a meaty puppet for the Grandfather, free of suffering, pain, or disgust and self-loathing for the diseased monstrosity you have become, but Nurgle also likes to show people the natural beauty of life, death, and rot, guiding them to his way of thinking by telling them 'Is it really so bad? You'll all end up like this one day. Why not embrace it? Or maybe you just want more time to enjoy the rich bounty of life before you return to the dirt and become a seedbed?' Those are the ones who call him Grandfather and Papa Nurgle. And Nurgle's favorite past-time is showering people with his 'gifts', and nothing warms his heart like an earnest 'Thank you Grandfather!' from a spoiled child who didn't appreciate his gifts before. That's what Mortarion and the Death Guard were to Nurgle; children who didn't fully appreciate his gifts until he drowned them in plagues and offered a kind hand, a warm hug and a smile to them as they were literally crying their hearts out. Always remember children: *N̸͓̓ũ̴̬R̶͍̪̓ğ̴̜̝L̷͕͉̽ę̴̙̚ ̵̲̺̽L̶̳̀̀o̶̜̱̍͑V̶̱̎ê̷̪̬̆S̴̲̟̀́ ̵̨̑Ȳ̴ͅͅỏ̷̞̉U̶͎͌͛.̶̻͔͊.̸̗̫̈͒.̷̻̳̈́̉*
He pretends to care and if you fail him he will make you feel the pain of all those diseases remember the chaos gods are a fickle and don’t really care about you (Nurgle just pretends to care cause we all eventually rot)
@@zerowolf0006 Oh no. That's the scary thing; Nurgle might not be punishing you, because he might just be trying to motivate you with more 'gifts'. The most horrifying thing with Nurgle is the idea that as a Chaos God that he is so far beyond the mortal concept of good and evil that everything he does might be out of genuine altruism on his part.
Angron didn't actually remove parts of his Brain. The Slavers on his Home planet did after he refused to kill his father figure in the gladiatorial Arena he was in. They a device called the Butchers Nail in his brain that are supposed to turn you into a berserker that is in pain whenever he's not doing something violent. But as his Brain was way more complex they had to remove parts of his brain to make them fit. Which is really tragic as he was a extremely nice guy before that.
@@billysmith1873 yes. The Primarch power we saw him having was literally to take away the pain and suffering of his Gladiator brothers. He probably would've been some kind of healer.
If you're wondering why the necrons went into hibernation, it's because they were just waiting for the eldar empire to fall and then reclaim what is rightfully theirs.
Yeah, their main plan got cut off as they didn't really have any way to properly counter Psykers, so instead they seeded the Pariah gene across the universe and went to sleep, expecting to wake up to a Warp-free universe....but it turns out that the Pariah gene not only makes everyone hate those people and they rarely survive to begin with, but it's also recessive and rarely manifests even if the pariah manages to successfully breed or a carrier has it. The Necrons can force it to awaken if a person is a carrier, but it's a fairly slow and hands on process.
@@awalkingfire2176 Not quite. It lasted a lot longer than the Necrons expected. By the end of the War in Heaven, the Old Ones' actions had massively screwed up the warp (this is how 3/4 Chaos gods were born) and the whole galaxy was having apocalyptic intrusions of warp-borne predators and daemons. The Necrons figured that they'd be riding out that shit in hibernation and then come back to a mostly depopulated galaxy. Well, let's just say that most of 'em got a real bad surprise when waking up.
@@awalkingfire2176I mean, look at the track record. The Necrons beat the C'tan because the C'tan started punching each other. Then, as the Necrons slept, the Eldar decimated themselves, the Orks lost their intelligence, and the human empire rose before splitting itself in half. Their strategy of simply outlasting their foes seems to have a nearly 100% success rate.
@@brotherkhrayn3525 I hate to be the nerd emoji, but in case if someone didn't know, the purple color thing is made up by fans. If ork wants to be sneaky, it'll apply camouflage and it'll work perfectly because of the power of belief
43:25 Slaanesh is basically agender and referred to with different titles depending. The Eldar might refer to Slaanesh as 'She Who Thirsts', there's also the 'Lord of Excess', 'Prince of Pleasure', etc. What you have to understand is that the artwork Bricky uses for the chaos gods is not necessarily meant to literally depict said gods, they are more a form that they take that a mortal mind might be able to understand. Tzeentch obviously is a trickster shapeshifting bastard, but Slaanesh as well is always depicted as having a glamour to make themselves appear to be whatever you desire most, male, female, whatever. They can't even help it, it's just who they are.
The Necrons went into stasis because they were very good at 'reading the stars' and foreseeing the future. They foresaw that the Eldar civilization would collapse in on itself. They foresaw that the orks would devolve without an overarching goal to unite them. Why fight them now when you can retreat where nobody can find you and wait 60 million years when they're weaker and easier to deal with? The Necrons technically are the biggest threat to the 40k universe. The issue is they're not supposed to be awake, yet. There was no grand awakening so 90% of them are still asleep. They're a shadowy, looming presence on the horizon, but little else. They're more concerned with the Tyranids than anything else, at the moment.
This is why ya don't do drugs or stuff, you'll always be looking for harder hits and then one day *BOOM* you are an warped elder god of extreme feelings
Aye. Strong emotions pretty much work as ”food” for the chaos Gods… and Slaanesh followers go really extreme on with their pursuit of greatest, ermmm, ”emotions”… 😅
The Craftworlders have found a workaround called "Soul Stones." Essentially, it is a gemstone that traps a dead Eldar's soul to keep it from entering the Warp and going to Slaanesh.
Yeah, when soul traps and a virtual afterlife are the preferred option, you know shit is bad. Also, same for when the "high elves" worship and sacrifice to the god of murder and strife because that's the one god they've got left.
I remember one craft world made a few half elves half astarties from collected space marine dna but they ended up basically making a race in itself or something like that
But just some interesting little things that Bricky wasn't able to cover about the Chaos Gods. Khorne again doesn't look kindly on backstabbing and one time one of his most powerful Bloodthirsters (Big Red Demons with wings) named Skarbrand did the unthinkable. See Skarbrand was so powerful he could level cities with a swing of his Axes, but one day whether it was Tzeentch's manipulation or his boundless rage dulling his judgment, he decided to potshot Khorne. He hit him with a blow that could annihilate New York & all it did was barely scuff Khorne's armor. So Khorne in his anger choked the PERSONALITY out of Skarbrand then hurled him across the stars just so years later he'd land in the mortal realm & go on a mindless rampage. Yeah I don't know why but all of Tzeentch's followers have a bird ascetic the higher you get in his favor. Like Kairos Fateweaver (the two headed one you saw) who one head sees the future and another sees the past but neither can comprehend the present. Just to give you a taste of Nurgles duality and Slaanesh's domination (😉): Slaanesh when she/he/it was born it not only devoured all Eldar souls they could but then went on to slaughter all but 3 Eldarian Gods. Cegorach the Laughing God escaped into the Web Way, Khaine the God of War got his shit pushed in but was scattered into millions of shards but technically isn't dead, and the Isha the Goddess of Harvest and Fertility. Isha was captured by Slaanesh and taken back to their realm. But before she could suffer what i can only imagine would have been a terrible fate, Papa Nurgle led his hoard personally into Slaanesh's realm and rescued her. Romantic right? Then he married Isha and now has her test out all his different concoctions of Disease, Rot, etc.. in his constant attempt at making more powerful illnesses. Because she being a god who represents Aspects of Life if she dies or gets permanently ill then he'd be close to perfection. But Isha being patient and smart developes cures from her body and hands it down to her worshippers.
@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Yeah he would have respected the challenge. But attacking him from behind like a coward? AND being weak willed enough to let Tzeentch manipulate him into it? Was like Skarbrand spitting in his face.
@worldlinezero4783 I think it was the other way. Khorne saved Khaine because he's so much like him and Khorne either wants to fight him or keep a new rival alive.
The Tzeentch bird aesthetic is probably inspired by ancient mythologies, like Odin's ravens or bird-headed Egyptian gods like Thoth and Horus, all associated with knowledge, magic, and things of that nature.
Dark Eldar are the type of sexy/attractive women ya meet at a bar and you think they’re taking ya back to their place for “adult” for only to learn they organ/body part harvesters
The Eldar used to have a full pantheon of their own. Most of them got eaten by Slaanesh, save three: Cegorach, Isha the Goddess of Life (who was scooped up by Nurgle), and Kain the War God, who was instead shattered. As for the Harlequins, they also have a duty of preserving the cultural history of the Eldar like the various storytellers of our history. They travel between various Eldar settlements (Craftworlds, Drukhari, etc.) and put on plays that serve to remind the Eldar of why they're a dying race and to not go that far ever again.
1:30:08 The whole idea behind going into hibernation on the tomb worlds is twofold. 1. The War in Heaven fucked up the galaxy, they were deploying black holes as weapons to kill entire star systems (and there have been references to even crazier weapons). The necrons went to sleep so that 60 million years later, they could wake up to a galaxy that wasn’t essentially a dead war zone with zero life in it. 2. They figured that after 60 million years, their enemies would either be dead, be weak enough that they can deal with them easily (which is the case) or they would all be dead. Time is a wonderful weapon if you can use it.
Kurze was twisted long before he went traitor. A Highlight of his legion include dropping skinned bodies onto a city when they thought they won a fight. Suicide was illegal on his planet, so when he caught a girl trying to kill herself, he stopped her, then brutally tortured her to death over a long time as punishment. -edit- He could have been such a force for good had he been raised and trained on Terra, instead of the hellhole that was Nostramo (global Gotham city at it's worst). Preprogrammed with an innate desire for justice and order, but with no reference to properly dole it out.
the night lords conquered as many worlds as the other legions but they did it with the fewest civilian casualtys and a decent amount fewer enemy combatant casuatys aswell they where terrifying, but they where a terror weapon and kurze knew how to use that to make people not die they where monsters, but also the only marines with empathy
@@ashardalondragnipurake dunno about empathy, maybe the first batch of night lords from nostramo, the ones who were the actual best people from the planet. but by the beginning of the heresy, most of those were gone, nearly all that was left was the sadists. torture became the goal, not the method. wanna get the Kurze books, from what ive gotten out of his story, its a damn tragedy
@@Khazorhoth yes in the end he was working with the scraps they still had empathy, but that doesnt help when the emotions they can understand are understood by sociopaths kurze was forced away from the planet for too long against his will and the planet was basically made to breed scum he needed to return and show the people terror again and they would have cleaned up fast enough but that still doesnt change that even the psychopath night lords caused less harm in their conquest of new worlds during the crusade then any other legion
Bricky has one more well-known video, its an explanation for each of the 20 different Space Marine Legions, their specialities, Primarchs and allegiance.
I think Tau’s problem is that they’re too “clean”. The style is very modern, disciplined, and straight up clean. They don’t have that dark grim aesthetic to them and also their ideals is a lot less evil, almost “naive” view of the universe. But that’s kinda what make I like them, they don’t really fall into the same categories as other races. They seems like the very few people in the 40K universe that you can possible have a chat with and won’t get shot in the face immediately.
The best thing about the tau is their naivety of the universe. It leads to them being overconfident and taking risks they really shouldn't. People will say it's not grimdark, but they forget the biggest aspect of grimdark; the loss of hope. The Tau, over time, has become jaded and cruel. They are the example to show that the Warhammer world will not get better, and there is no hope. That's how they fit into the setting, and I think people are sleeping on it.
A lot of people don't know this, but the Tau have a lot of hidden Darkness, mostly perpetrated by the Ethereal Caste. Example: Humans are allowed to join the Tau, and are even allowed to openly worship the Emperor (so long as they accept the greater good). Sounds really generous, right? Well, the Tau secretly remove their reproductive organs, so that only humans who don't believe in the Emperor will have children within the Tau Empire. Why? Because the best way to successfully convert a foreign population to your side, is to appear to show mercy to "all" of the captured or acquired. You might like the Tau, but if they kill your Emperor-loving Aunt and Uncle, you're not going to join them, are you? But, if your Aunt and Uncle never have kids (that hate the Tau), but YOU DO, then eventually the Tau will only have living humans in their empire that love them and not the imperium or emperor. This is pretty much how the Tau converted every race under them, by the way
I always like them because it looked like they found a hard drive loaded with mecha anime and went, "Yes, built that. Build _all_ of that." Mechs are cool, fight me.
That's why I dont really like how GW retcon them to actually always have been evil in their higher-ups like Covenant Prophets from Halo. Had they stayed the good guy faction, it would have made them stand out and fitting at the same time because then they would be the hopeful minority in the grim darkness of the far future and that could have led to some quality tragedy that'd paradoxically fit right in with the rest of 40k
The best way to describe the warp is that any person that isn't the absolute best of humanity that looks into the warp goes completely insane. Especially if they look into Tzentch's part of the warp. Also yes demons go back into the warp when they die unless you can destroy their soul.
Another thing about daemons, they don’t actually have a physical form. If they’re not in the warp or in a place filled with warp energy, they can’t exist in the physical realm. They’re are daemon world in the physical space, they’re just covered in warp energy and usually inside the eye of terror. However daemons can possess people too, which gives them a physical form to do whatever.
Horus, also known as Heru or Hor in Ancient Egyptian, is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities who served many functions, most notably as god of kingship, healing, protection, the sun and the sky. He was worshipped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt.
Nurgle is a cross between a farmer and a scientist Khorn is your stereotypical warrior, who loves violence and bloodshed Zeenech is your typical nerd Slaaneesh is your typical high school SLT. And that’s basically the chaos gods in a nutshell

Here's a description of an Ork gun by an AdMech guy straight from the rulebook for the Wrath and Glory role-playing game: "...Xenotech artefact XI-Gamma-III is little more than a length of industrial piping, a plasteel drum containing loose ammunition, and a large Ork incisor in place of a trigger."
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyOrk-technology is still based in Physics, a vehicle can't drive without a motor for example, but the Whaaagh-Energy that is generated by a large Number of Orks being in one place greases the laws of Physics to their advantage, so that an axle that is held together by basically Duct-Tape still transfers power from the Motor to the wheels. The Adeptus Mechanicus on the other hand apply the laws of Physics in construction and repair and understand them. But a lot of Technology has been forgotten sindmce the Dark/Golden Age of Technology and What the Adeptus Mechanicus knows is kept in the form of prayers and rituals. They basically recite the Instruction manuals, embellished with a lot of incense. It's debated in the Fandom if Machine-spirits really exist or if they are primitive AI or whatever. Sorry for making such a long thing. Watch Luetin09 or oculus imperia for deeper dives into Orcs and Human technology, they are both very dilligent.
Here's the thing about Genestealers and why they are considered a bigger threat in some cases compared to like Chaos and other Xenos. A Broodlord Tyranid (a little bigger than a 6' human) lands on an Imperial city world and hides away in the deepest darkest sewer. A human unknowingly wanders into it's lair but instead of being killed, the human is hypnotized. Instead of seeing a horrible four armed monster, the human see a beautiful angel sent forth by the God-Emperor himself, and this angel is here because he sees you toiling away at your bleak and depressing life and he wants to save you and their world from the corrupt Imperium and bring it closer to what the God-Emperor truly intended. But, before that can happen, this angel needs to you bring forth other people that can be saved. So, this human renewed with a sense of purpose, goes to work and says "hey, I saw these gang members stashing boxes of Sisters Of Battle pinup calanders in the sewers, why don't we snag some", and one or two coworkers agree and follow him into the sewers. One is eaten by the Broodlord cus he was hungry and the other is also hypnotized. But now those two go out and each bring back two guys, this time no one is eaten, then those four go out and bring back four guys. And so on. This will happen for years, but it's not done yet. Once the gathering of followers is quite large, they will breed with the Broodlord, and produce various Tyranid/Human hybrids. The monstrous ones are hailed by the cult as being the closest to angels and praised for their beauty. The more human looking ones are raised by their cultist parents and that child grows up and gets a job working at a traffic center. A kid who was made fun of because he was bald, grows up and gets a job as an Arbites (Imperium police). This crossbreeding happens over decades, while the hoard of monsters grows in the depths of the city, while the human passing ones spread on the surface finding various jobs and rising through the ranks, while their descendants hook up with ordinary people who unknowingly produce even more subtle hybrids. All the while they stockpile guns, ammo, equipment, etc. Then once the army is sizable, the Broodlord gives the signal to the cultists and the Revolution begins. Judgement Day falls onto this world as the the roads are clogged from the traffic lights going haywire, the police are spread too thin due to bad directions and intel. With the world's infrastructure sabotaged by the cult at so many levels, the Cult's "Revolution" will make quick work of any resistance. As the Revolution celebrates it's victory in the streets, the Cultists look up and see these beautiful golden ships and angels descending. The world is saved, and they will be lead into paradise by the God-Emperor and his angels... and if they're lucky, that's what they'll die seeing. If not, the hypnotism will end and they will see giant "ships" made of flesh and bone spewing toxic spores that eat away at organic matter and hoards of monsters will descend on their world. They can't call for help because they sabotaged their own communication system, they can't escape cus all of the planet's ships were destroyed, they can't fight because they have little to no ammo. So they watch and they and their world is devoured, and die knowing that this was all their fault.
The Eldar have these things called soul stones that trap a soul before it has a chance to enter the warp. The stone is then placed into what can best be described as a psychic virtual world where they can have their afterlife free of Slaanesh.
While chaos by itself isn't necessarily evil, it is incompatable with life in the galexy. The chaos gods desire to grow and spread by corruption of both followers and worlds. Those that willingly follow chaos are definitely evil as they are betraying the entire galexy for their own benefit. And yes chaos winning might result in the death of the chaos gods Also the dark Eldar don't just torture because they need to they enjoy it
something not said in the video, the true aspects of the gods of chaos are not really known, those you see in the illustrations are not their original appearance, here it is explained how they could be or how they have presented themselves sometimes: What Do The Chaos Gods Actually Look Like? | Warhammer 40k Lore
that video is not entirely correct. multiple gw authors have described the chaos gods as ''enormous concentrated saturations of warp energy in the immaterium'' and ''more akin to sentient weather than a person'', so they do not really have a physical form, they're like shapes in clouds. but how can they be hit like with skarbrand and khorne? ...its chaos, it just works. xD and they're also not really gods, they are strong enough to be seen as gods by lesser beings, but they're not. that being said, lets not forget we are dealing with gamesworkshop here. things they say and write and what is written and said later can make things clear or just more confusing, and will without a doubt contradict what was written and said before.
I was listening to this while driving home from a job. I wanted to mention something . Angron that Bricky was wrong about. (To be fair, i dont think he know all of the story, just cliffnotes.) Angron didn't purposely remove parts of his brain. He was a gladiator slave, and he actually had a power to take other people's pain away, taking it to himself. (He is a primarch, he can take it). His masters used ancient tech called "The Butcher's Nails" on him. The Nails dig into the brain and kill the parts of the mind that create dopamin from its natural sources. The Nails make people only feel joy when they are inflicting violence. But because Angron is a primarch, hes built a bit differently. The nails just killed his ability to feel any emotions like joy or peace. The nails caused endless agony. Imagine having a migraine and having machines constantly humming in your head. I'd be pretty angry, too. (There's also the fact the Emperor stole Angron away from his fellow warriors while fighting his last stand and telling Angron that the others didn't matter. Angron wasn't too happy about that either.
You've probably seen this already - but one of my favorite memes that's...actually not totally a joke...is that the Emperor of Mankind is only still alive because the Orks believe he is. Love Orks.
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Another funny story is that the Orks ran away from Blood Angels Space Marine and because of their belief that painting things red makes you go faster, they believed that they'll be killed by the Blood Angels because they're red. The legion caught up to them and killed them. They literally got killed by their own belief.
Chaos Space Marine recruitment is somewhat complicated and vague, but a majority of them have lived since the Horus Heresy: the rest are either more recent Traitors Space Marines who joined the Traitor Legions or Chaos Marines that were made via the same process of a normal Marine, though this is much rarer as most lack the tools to do so. All in all, it varies from group to group based on need or preference.
uff chaos marine making is so way twisted and so bad,envolve a lot of pregnant womans and skins of people,there is book about how they make them,its so sick
@@85Bad4ever True, though that was unique to a group of Iron Warriors, from what I remember. Most humans they make into Chaos Marines were either cultist or the children of slaves before becoming a Marine.
The necron trazyn the infinite is the closest thing you get to a Pokemon trainer because he literally trap anything and anyone he find interesting in stasis cube just like a Pokemon.....😂
2 new Gods have popped up in the last couple of years: Ynnari the Reborn, the Aeldar's new private Grim Reaper & god of revenge, made from sacrificing the Soul stones that they were using to save themselves from She-Who-Thirsts & Tau'va, the God of the Tau Greater Good, who popped into existence to save them from Daemons who turned up the first time Tau tried using a warp engine
To explain Cegorach. Much like how Slaneesh was formed, so did the Aeldari pantheon before it. Due to the Eldar being an entire species of powerful psykers with heightened emotions, they were able to create their own gods. Cegorach is one of the only survivors of the Aeldari pantheon as he fled into the Webway while Slaneesh devoured the eldar and the rest of the pantheon. The other surviving gods are Khaine, the eldar god of war and slaughter who was shattered into numerous shards that can be used for battle by the craftworlds, literally sacrificing ancient warriors to bring about burning, towering demigods. The other is Isha, she is the eldar god of healing, vitality and nature who was saved by Nurgle and now spends her time locked in a cage, forced to be the test bed for Grandfather Nurgle's newest warp plagues and diseases.
If it's an important character, their name is more likely to be based on ancient mythology than it is to be a pun. Horus is named after the Egyptian god, though if they wanted to play up the traitorous bit, they'd name him some variation of Set.
1:17:25 It's funny you say that, because the Adeptus Mechanicus actually believe that the Orks have their version of machine spirits that makes it possible for their machines to work.
And also in computing: "In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ or /ˈdeɪmən/) is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user. " This is absolutely not copied from Wikipedia :p
Yes and no 90bubbel60 , Daemon or Daimon in Ancient Greek originally referred to lesser deities or spirits that guide people, some sources mention that they were once human, but transformed into Daimones (plural form) by Zeus to become benevolent guardian spirits. They even had shrines for the daimones of heroic figures. Plato subscribed to a traditional thought that mentioned that every single person is born with one daimon watching over them. It was thanks to the word being translated to the Hebrew Shedim / Se'irim (which was used for foriegn deities or idols), which was used to refer to Asmodeus, that daimon became associated with evil spirits in the New Testament's original Greek Text.
Luetin09's Dark Beginnings Necrons, Old Ones & Eldars. It covers the origins of the War in Heaven, the warp as well the origins of the Eldar and Necrons.
I don't know why this was not mentioned in this video. But eldar people carry around items called "Spirit Stone" which captures their soul after they die. So it can later be transferred to Craftworld core, where it can join ancestors and act as a guiding force for still-living eldar's. Which makes their Craftworld particularly important. Because if they lose it, they won't just lose their home. They will lose everything that came before them.
Daemon goes back to Greek and is related to daimon, "'lesser god, guiding spirit, tutelary deity." The Greeks had the concept eudaimona, an inner guardian that creates happiness. Daemon is also used in computing terminology: "In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ or /ˈdeɪmən/) is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user." It's a word flush with associations that all are relevant in some way. :D
One thing he leaves out, to counteract their souls going to Slaanesh the Craftworld Eldar have these special gems on their person at all times & just in case they die their soul is contained in the gem instead of going to Slaanesh. These soul gems then are recovered at all cost to prevent them from being stolen or destroyed. Cause to the Craftworld Eldar it is like losing a loved one twice cause then Slaaanesh can claim them upon its destruction. Eldar then use them to power their ship or they can put them in these robotic bodies & giant mechs so they can rejoin the fight if they wish. It's actually looked down upon by some Eldar as the new "Bodies" are seen as unnatural or abominations. Craftworld Eldar do this with pride because it beats getting devoured by Slaanesh & it helps their people in some way. The Harlequins aren't just murders and savage defenders of the Black Library but are actually mediators who are free to go in between the other factions. So they are actually respected by all Eldar. Exodites, are actually another faction of Eldar he didn't cover. They are jokingly called the Amish of the Eldar. They re-populate wild worlds but instead of horses they use dinosaurs.
You should totally watch the "WH40k Timeline by Trayzn the Infinite" by Warrior Tier. It'll answer so many of your questions. It's also written and voice-acted so well!
26:45 -It's a little error - Angron didn't remove parts of his brain on his own, he was forced to get that by slave owners when he was a child gladiator. Owners were like "He doesn't want to kill his friend? You know what - brain damage will fix it." and put into his brain electrodes called Butcher Nails that make him suffer every time he feels anything else than anger.
The gene-seed stuff goes both ways. The Chaos Space Marines restore their numbers in the same way that the Imperium does. After all, the primarch went with them over to Chaos, meaning they have the gene seed with them.
Each Chaos god also gives gifts to his/her most devoted followers which begin pretty ok, but being too devoted will begin to get you some pretty heavy modifications till you become a monstrous daemon for the god: Khorne grants his followers with more self esteem and strenght, you will become a peak human in anatomy Nurgle although he will make you look like a decaying corpse, he will stop you from feeling any pain, in fact nurgle followers are the happiest of all Slaanesh should be obvious, you gonna get a lot of happiness but it will work like a drug where you will get high highs and low lows And Tzeentch... Even tho he is the chaos god of hope, he will just mess with you, he wants change as much as khorne wants violence, so unless you constantly betray and change your ways, he will begin to change you, to the point that you might wake up one day with a tentacle in the place of an arm, he is a big troll like that
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy yeah, that Is why the community calls him papa nurgle A lot of deamons of Nurgle even act pretty childish and innocent wanting to make Friends with the enemy soldiers, but once they get to hug an enemy... The enemy usually has already desolved or Is screaming as parasites burst from their body Fighting nurgle Is a Nightmare, soldiers Will die from horrible diseases before even seeing Nurgles army at the Horizon And yes, nurgle has created viruses that somehow rust away necrons and other machine-like lifeforms He Is all about entropy so yeah, mostly nothing can flee his decay
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Keep in mind: a Chaos God can revoke its gifts as quickly as it granted them. So in the case of Nurgle’s followers? Displease Nurgle too much and he’ll revoke that immunity to pain and his diseases. Leading to a quick and gruesome death. There’s also a type of creature called a Chaos Spawn, where the mutations from the gods’ blessings prove too much for the mortal’s body and they’re mutated into a gibbering insane and bestial mutant monstrosity.
23:20 1-on-1 a Chaos Space Marine and a regular Marine could go either way, for a variety of reasons. Regular marines *tend* to have more reliable access to quality wargear, and is generally a bit more regimented and mentally fortified to push through pain and despair, and have strong bonds of brotherhood with their peers, but they are usually a lot more of a known quantity, with few surprises and definitive limits to what even their superhuman traits allow. Chaos marines *tend* to be longer-lived and have more experience in battle (due to the timey-wimey nature of the warp some Chaos marines are the same veterans of the Horus Heresy from 10,000 years ago and have been fighting ever since) and may have received some otherworldly boon from one of the Chaos gods, but tend to be more individualistic and less willing to die for someone else's cause if it doesn't benefit them, and sometimes their wargear is made up of scrounged relics from thousands of years ago. In the final battle, it usually comes much more down to the individual than the average. In terms of recruiting Chaos marines, they do have their own banks of gene-seed and their own resources to recruit and create new marines, but they are usually much more limited and scrounged together. Generally Chaos lacks any of the infrastructure of the Imperium. The recruits may be aspirants who want to prove themselves to their Chaos Marine masters or the Dark Gods, or slaves who are press-ganged, mind wiped and psycho-conditioned to be slavishly obedient. You're correct about killing daemons, technically you can only banish them temporarily back to the Warp. Chaos Marines, however, are completely mortal and can die. Some can ascend to daemonhood to become Daemon Princes (almost all of the traitor primarchs who are still alive have done so) but that is a vanishingly rare achievement.
It is possible to kill a daemon but it is a very difficult achievement requiring either a special weapon, relic, ritual, or a massive amount of psychic power to accomplish. The only person other than the Emperor or a primarch I know to have killed one was an inquisitor named Eisenhorn with the help of a special crystal that boosted his psychic power and the Emperor had an sword that could permanently kill a daemon instead of just banishing it back to the warp to await a new physical body to be able to reenter the materium.
49:20 the craft world eldar have these things called soul stones that, if on their person traps their soul in them upon death and bricky didn’t mention this but I think they power some of their stronger units.
Here's a cool little lore tid bit: There's a group of Orks that Khorne keeps in his realm to fight his demons forever. They die, he just brings them back. Their Warboss is named Tuska the Daemon-Killa. Bricky doesn't mention this, but the Orks actually have their own gods named Gork and Mork. Gork who is brutal but cunnin. And Mork, who is cunnin but brutal. Also the word daemon as just the old english way of spelling demon (I think).
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy You should check out the Helsreach series, its another warhammer animation much the the Astartes video, but with a very diferent style and an actual story with voice acting.
Quick Note: Around a year or two ago, Games Workshop revealed and released another xenos army called the Leagues of Votann and since Bricky’s video came out before this reveal, he didn’t really touch on them. I don’t play many tabletop Warhammer games myself and I don’t collect the army (I prefer the Admech) so someone else will have to explain to you how they play, but I can provide a summary. The Leagues of Votann are actually descendants of human colonists that were closer to the center of the galaxy when humanity first fell, however their biology is so different from humans they are considered xenos. They are basically space dwarfs called Kin and the Votann themselves are actually old AI that the Kin deeply respect. The Leagues are like mega-corporations that go around and strip planets and asteroids of resources. The Kin are also VERY stubborn and hold deep grudges against those who slight them, whether it’s a single person or an entire race. They have a slight Nordic theme to them, not full on Viking like the Space Wolves, but some symbols and stuff. Also, ROCK AND STONE ⛏️
If you think they're bad- I befriended crows. Then swapped shifts. They now come to visit me on third shift. They dont want anything now, I just shared some chips when I first started. They just chill and vibe. And bring me pebbles.@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy
1:37 there are planets (called daemon planets) in the warp but are really strange for example there's one in the slanesh realm that just a giant obese guy in the fetal position called Oliensis.
Ehh, there are both the chaos realms which are pseudo-worlds that the chaos gods reside in, and actual physical worlds that have been dragged into the warp and left a hole in reality where they used to be. Each one of those holes? A chaos fleet capable of laying waste to entire sectors can pop out of each of them. And yes, Cenobites dialed up to 11 is a good way to think about slaanesh, but to be more accurate slaanesh is the god of obsession and the extreme. Degeneracy was the flashpoint for their awakening, but an obsession can be anything in theory. There are daemons of slaanesh that obsess over food and look like an extremist glutton. You can fall to slaanesh in the pursuit of perfection, an obsession with defeating a foe, an nymphomania, you name it. Ironically, slaanesh's awakening is what kicked the chaos gods into action and forced the emperor to take up the position of emperor of humanity before all of humanity was driven to extinction. Before the age of strife (Which slaanesh's birth caused) humanity had no need of Big E, and he was content to be a scientist.
Something to note is that the regular Eldar do have a way to avoid their souls going to Slaanesh if they die. Basically they got these spirit stones where if they die their soul goes into this stone instead of to Slaanesh. The stone is then placed into this matrix type thing where they live a sort of afterlife. However, if the stone is swallowed by a Slaanesh demon then they will be tortured for all eternity, this has happened before
During the Siege of Terra Fulgrim Primarch of the Emperor’s Children quit the field and captured billions of civilians to turned into new drugs and stimulants.
I would highly recommend you watch the series 'Helsreach'. It was originally a 40K book, turned into an audio drama and finally a 13-part fan animation project (similar to Astartes, but larger in scope). It's got fantastic writing, amazing voice acting, great animation and it's surprisingly emotional. Really makes you feel what it's like to be in one of these awe-inspiring battles, and what it means to be in the universe. Would love to see your reaction to it.
If you're curious about Chaos Spacemarine recruitment, I'd recommend watching the "Daemonculaba". Any video on the topic should explain it well enough, it's probably the edgiest part of 40k. They recruit this way but they also do recruit renegade spacemarines and forceful recruitment where they capture a bunch of people, then they do whatever dark surgeries to enhance them, then brainwash them. Most chaos geneseed is extremely corrupted (due to residing in the warp) so they often steal loyalist geneseed and create hybrid spacemarines.
There is a neat 6 minute 19 second animation called _Imperial Fist VS Iron Warrior_ by the channel _The Grape Lords_. Also. Daemon is the Anglicized version of δαίμων (daimôn), which in Ancient Greek means a spirit or lesser divine entity, without the connotations of being fallen or evil non-divine non-human spirit entities as demon does in Christian English. As far as Warhammer goes though, it is Daemons are simply aspects of the Chaos Gods, much like individual molecules are aspects of the whole of the human body. Also, the channel _Old Man - Lore, Stories, and Theory_ has a series called Five(ish) minutes Lore, which is pretty good. It has the lore on the Ork who ascended to Khorne.
there are worlds in the warp, pockets of sense and reality amidst the roiling endless nothing. Those worlds are where you find the mortal champions of chaos, the chaos space marines, the dark mechanicum, various cults, and so forth. Daemons also reside on strange worlds and endless planes of terror.
In truth 3 of the Primarchs are dead Horus who was slain by the Emperor, Ferrus Manus Primarch of the Iron Hands who was beheaded by Fulgrim whom he considered his greatest friend and lastly Sanguinius of the Blood Angels who was slain by his brother Horus during the battle of the Vengeful spirit.
Konrad Curze, traitor primarch of the Night Lords was also killed by an assassin. And technically Vulkan of the loyalist Salamanders died a few times but he is a perpetual and just won't stay dead.
The tyranids are my favorite. One of my favorite things Ive heard about them is that people thing they're weak because almost every story you hear about them is about them losing, but in reality thats because when they win there's no one to tell the story.
Demon primarchs are generally not truly killable, you can off them, but they won't STAY dead. 'Normie' chaos marines don't come back when killed, but there are some non-primarch 'champions' of chaos, basically certain chaos marines have been 'chosen'/'blessed' by one (or all) of the chaos gods because of things they did/do that pleased that them. These champions are usually immortal but I'm not certain that's always the case. One of the funniest (and disturbing) examples of this is Slaanesh's immortal champion, Lucious The Eternal. If you kill him and take any satisfaction/pride/etc in it, you will transform into him. If Lucious steps on a landmine but one of the people who was involved in the building of that landmine took pride in making it, that guy will become Lucious.
Another aspect of Chaos is that Everytime someone just so happens to show the traits that they represents, it gives them power, this is true of any Warp entity including the Emperor (the power of Faith)
Cegorach is one of the Eldar gods, born through more traditional worship before the fall of the Eldar during the War in Heaven. He is also one of the... Three? Eldar Gods that survived the fall and the only god who is still free, with Isha, goddess of life and healing being captured by Nurgle to ve the test subject of all his new diseases and Khaine, god of murder and battle prowess, being taken by Khorne somehow.
Chaos Space Marines have serious difficulty replenishing their numbers. Like you said, the Imperium can just create new Space Marines using geneseed and industrial might. Chaos SM have their geneseed corrupted and since they live in the warp they have little industry. CSM mainly replenish their numbers by having loyalist SM turn to their side, as well as kidnapping people and raiding SM geneseed vaults so they can combine the two and forcibly convert people into new CSM. But generally this is a very difficult process, so there's a good chance that when a CSM dies they won't be replaced. It's one of many reasons why the CSM haven't managed to destroy the Imperium in the last ten thousand years. Also no, most CSM do not respawn in the Warp. Some do, and the Demon Primarchs do, but when a CSM dies they're usually just dead.
13:34 You’re talking about Tuska Demon-Killa. And he did more than just invade the Warp. He stabbed a demon in the balls while he was at it. 1:15:30 No, he’s a “Free Boota”. And they have their own gods, Gork and Mork. One is bru’al and cunnin’ the other is cunnin’ and brutal.
Chaos: The question of why Chaos have spikes and skulls is answered with the warp. The warp is the mirror of the universe. Since the universe is so grimdark, so to is the warp and it's creatures. There are depictions of the chaos gods(I don't remember if it's fan or not) having a more ancient Greek aesthetic. The Warp has different planes both physical and not, the most prominent are the realms of chaos which is depicted as a large land mass with sections dedicated to one of the 4 gods. Also yes, daemons can't be killed, they go back to the warp. Samus is a prime example. However chaos space marines are not daemons. Same process to make a new chaos marine, just more forceful. They can become daemons like the Daemon Primarchs. Like the imperium, if there is no primarch, recycle the gene-seed. The warp is where spirits, minds, and wills gather from the universe. Take Saint Celestine for example, at first a sister of battle before she died and now always being resurrected by the warp. Eldar: The Chaos Gods are said to be formless and thus have no gender, but are referred to as male. Slaanesh and his daemons not only have a bdsm Eldar thing, but they are also hermaphrodites. The deamons are shown stitched down the middle, one side male and the other female, aka uniboob. Ask Slaanesh, he would say he has always existed. Harlequins: Every culter has their own gods, IDK about the god the Harliquins serve. But I know about the Eldar's goddess of life and medicine; being held captive, married, and experimented on by Nurgle; he sees what it does to her, she regens and secretly makes cure and gives to the Eldar. Tyranids: "This one holds a sword" Look again and notice that it's melded. 'Do they use guns?' no only the Genestealer Cults. Ork: They were created from the Old Ones, and made to be Krorks, the most resilient, deadliest, and smartest. To help fight the Necrons. Without them they fell from grace, mostly losing intelligence and being hunchbacks, and calling Krorks Tallboyz. They are all slightly psychers, they all derive power from the warp and is used in their kulture. Since they were genetically made, some retain that info and become wierdboyz. They're the ones making stuff and the more orks, the more they can make. The power of imagination. Orks are like sharks and crocs, where they continue to grow. So the biggest ork is also the oldest. They are the biggest threat, the only reason they arn't is because they're too busy fighting eachother. Necrons: It doesn't make sense however the hibernation just worked. Other than the Horus Heresy, Humanity was slowly rebuilding from a dark age. Where they lost a lot of blueprints and the mechanicus is just keeping the machines running. The Astartes are reuniting humanity across the stars, and this is before and during Horus's betrayal. The Krorks became Orks. The Eldar lost 90% of their pop. Tau: The bad of the Tau is "the Greater Good", and falling with the tyrannical nature that arises from Communism. Also Gundam = Anime = Weebs, that's basically where it comes from it's mostly how out of place they are.
So Orks. Orks are a weird symbiotic amalgam of animal and fungus, where most of the Ork's blood is replaced by a thick fungal soup in an extremely simple series of organs. This fungus takes care of most of the Ork's biological needs, to the point where it's actually theorized that Orks can perform photosynthesis to a limited extent to survive in environments that may otherwise be lacking in meaningful sustenance. This fungus is also how the Orkoid or 'Greenskin' race reproduces. Allow me to explain: The Orkoid races produce fungal spores when they breathe, fart, or shit, and they release even more spores when they die. These spores can take root basically anywhere, and eventually form fungal pods where other Orkoids will gestate and eventually be born. Generally Squigs or some Squig subspecies, like Squighawks or Squigsharks, will appear first, followed by the docile and simple-minded Snotlings and the more vicious and cunning Gretchins, or Grots as they're called, and then finally the proppa Ork Boyz will start popping out of the ground fully formed. Squigs and Orks theoretically never stop growing, but Snots and Grots are stunted at sub-human heights, which is a good thing for the Orks because the little goblins are generally better with their hands than the fat-fingered Orks.
Personally I LOVE Tau, thei designe, and how they fitt in the univers with their contrast. I love the concept of this naive and new race in this horrible dark world. For the Greater Good!
Honestly the most entertaining way to learn about 40k is a series called "If the Emperor had a Text to Speak Device" which sadly got canceled kinda after Games Workshop made a general legal threat to all 40k animation channels for using their IP which they retracted but they poached the Astartes creator during that alongside others. This also soured the creator's interest in working with 40k afterward which is sad because they had just started properly getting to a climatic point in the story here is the specific episode for Big E but it's better to watch the whole thing from start to finish. Hopefully, they continue someday as they got millions of views back in the day ua-cam.com/video/UUAAM1WE3Ng/v-deo.html
To answer your first question about the Warp, as far as I understand it, people can live in the Warp, but it usually requires special circumstances. Two examples: In order to travel in WH40k, Imperial ships will enter the Warp and then pop out of the Warp as a form of like wormhole space travel. However, these ships that do this require a Gellar Field. Its an artificial "bubble" of reality that surronds the ship and protects it while traversing the Warp. Without it, the ship would subject to Warp storms, daemons and other Warp entities that would basically destroy the ship (or at least kill, mutate and/or drive insane the crew). 2nd Example: There are Chaos Space Marine chapters and Daemon Primarchs that live in the Warp on their own planets. That also means that those planets are usually inhabited by extremely unfortunate enslaved humans and such. The Daemon Primarch of the Word Bearers currently has his own planet in the Warp, but he's not really... uh utilizing the planet to its full potential. He's currently hiding in the massive temple he built to the Chaos gods, because him and his Space Marine Legion are currently being terrorized by the loyalist Primarch, Corvus Corax. We don't really know how Corvus Corax is alive or what he is. Because the Warp seems to have mutated him into some inhuman daemon, but I digress. The Warp is not the ideal place for any living sentient species.
I want to recommend the series "If the Emperor Got a Text-To-Speech Device", a parody series that basically ups the amount of self-awareness 40K has and makes it absolutely absurd and hilarious, but tragically, from what I've heard, it got shut down by Games Workshop because GW are jerks who don't want to share their toys, even though parodies are completely legal and Emperor TTS had a disclaimer that it was a parody.
@@Victor_Nova_56 Their lawyers put out a statement regarding new policy regarding parodies at the time. I'm not sure if they actually cracked down on anyone, but basically it was the typical thing you'd see a corporate lawyer with no PR or Community knowledge propose.
When it comes to talking about gods in 40k think of it like human religions and their pantheons. Humanity has the Emperor, Eldar have their Pantheon, Orks got Gork n' Mork, etc. Also yes all of 40k was basically an arms race between children for its creation. "well my guys are biggest and strongest" "oh yeah? well my guys are even stronger and psychic." Finally when Bricky said 'master of a million worlds' that was not an exaggeration. Humanity has over a million worlds and the bureaucracy behind it is atrocious. So having a daily check in is not only impossible cuz sending a psychic message is like sending a letter irl, even if it was the passivity of sending help to all of them is impossible
Hi I'm the guy who provides looooong explanations, I hope you can bear with it for the sake of knowledge 😅 I'll mostly try to answer your questions about daemons and chaos space marines (also with timestamps because I'm annoyingly meticulous): 21:05 The gods have their own realms within the warp where they reside but isn't just somewhere you can find a path to get to. Think of it like a floating island, you know it's somewhere on the ocean, but it's never gonna be in one spot and also the island shifts and distorts like the water it sits upon. Every realm in the warp constantly shifts, expanding and contracting, changing in size and shape, places spring up or disappear, created or destroyed, etc. And when it comes to daemons and their corporeal forms, it's a bit of a complicated thing. In art and on the tabletop they're usually depicted with one uniform design but that's for the sake of being easier to identify when playing the tabletop. But within the universe daemons can take on a multitude of forms and shapes, like for example the daemon of tzeentch ghargatuloth, who's just a massive pillar of eyes and mouths, and even then it had the ability to change how it's seen by others. Probably the most common way of telling a daemon's origin is through symbols on their body or armaments, as these will use the symbol of their patron god. 22:10 He's named horus as in the egyptian god horus, with his symbol even being an eye, designed similarly and named directly like the real life egyptian eye of horus symbol. 22:34 It's... complicated. Like, 60+ novels complicated (I'm not lying, and that's after removing all the short stories and novellas from the count). 23:26 In most cases it depends on who has better strategic thinking when it comes to marine vs chaos marine fights. For the most part, chaos space marines will be juiced up by warp energy but still largely fight like their loyalist counterparts with the same weapons and armor. However in the raw strength department more often than not a chaos marine can overpower a regular one, and that's if they don't already have mutations that buff them up even more or give them wacky powers. When it comes to these fights depicted in the lore, it honestly just boils down to who the writers need to win at the time. But for the most part they're evenly matched. 25:08 There's no outright explanation as to why the chaos gods have specific colors but my personal opinion is that you can chalk it up to being another 'ease of identification' thing for the tabletop. Because it's easy to imagine the war stuff being red, the decaying stuff being green, the magic stuff being blue, and the sexual stuff being pink/purple because that's how most of those concepts are portrayed in modern culture, like red lightsabers in star wars representing the sith because it's a more menacing-looking color to have on the bad guys. 26:09 To put it into perspective, curze died WITHOUT going daemon and without his legion of marines joining chaos. He was a man with a twisted sense of justice that was just pure black and white, punishing those who he believed were criminals, and the definition of criminal to him was very loose. He would torture and maim a few people to get hundreds to obey, rather than massacre armies until they surrendered, and would kill anyone over the smallest crime. Fear was his weapon and justice was his agenda... for the most part. He was also plagued with the ability to see the future, except he saw the most horrible futures and almost no one could understand his situation, spiraling him further into madness. In fact, his death was a result of him letting himself be assassinated just to prove the point of his visions. His most heinous acts include: Killing a woman for thinking about ending it because that's self-murder, making a statue of the emperor using body parts of tortured slaves, and making his entire fortress out of *living* human bodies. And despite all that, his story is still a sad and tragic one. That's warhammer for ya. 26:44 A misconception bricky would correct later on, but angron didn't remove parts of his brain to be angrier. He was enslaved as a gladiator and forced to fight people he developed bonds with. When he refused, they wired tech straight into his brain that hurt him if he felt anything other than anger. 27:24 The best part about that? The eye isn't even part of the model, whoever painted it decided to add it themselves. 27:58 Chaos space marines replenish their numbers in two ways: Either by loyalist space marines being corrupted and joining them or by raiding storages of geneseed from space marine fortresses and going through the regular process of space marine creation. 33:13 The warp is the afterlife, every soul on death that isn't immediately contained somewhere on death is sent to the warp where they float around before being consumed by daemons. Now, daemons are a portion of their god's power given sentience and since they are pure psychic warp energy, you can't really kill them. "Killing" them in real space simply cuts their connection to the material realm and banishes them back into the warp, where they will reform. Chaos space marines are still originally mortal and not created from warp energy, so they can physically die and their soul goes to the warp. And depending on if the chaos space marine in life was exceptional enough to be noticed by the gods, he may be turned into a daemon prince and become either a partial or full warp entity. But for your regular chaos marine, dying just means you die and your soul is consumed and you cease to be. 33:35 Chaos never payed attention to us until tens of thousands of years later because we had little presence in the warp. To them, a few billion people with next to no psykers with bright souls to consume is less than an appetizer. They only started to notice us because of the emperor revealing himself, a massive psychic powerhouse that they just couldn't ignore. However, daemons were present in our history and some were even born as a result of human action. For example, drach'nyen is a daemon born from the first murder (cain and abel), and the ragged knight who was created from the anger and hate of those who were massacred for perceived sins against god (the crusades).
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyalso to add onto the warp and afterlife part. Since the warp is part of your conscience and belief, it can also somewhat shape your experience after death - of course this belief itself needs to be inviolable and unshakeable, but those who truly believed in the emperor with zero doubt throughout their life whatsoever, may or may not live in afterlife under the emperor's light. Of course, this is actually rather ambiguous in 40k and never truly explained, merely eluded to.
The cenobite theme is very strong with the Haemonculus Covens, a sub group of the Dark Eldar. They take torture to the degree you expect and beyond. I highly reccomend the Drukhari Covens video by Baldermort. It paints the picture for the Haemonculus and how they see themselves in this universe very, very well.
Prince is kind of a gender neutral term, which is why it's used for Slaanesh, in the same capacity as it is used for the local leader of vampire society in the World of Darkness regardless of their gender.
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyyeah prince originally comes from princeps, which just means leader in Latin. It was later that it was associated with male descendants of monarchs or rulers of principalities. Princeps is also used on its own in 40k, it is the title given to a pilot of an imperial titan, also called god-machines, each one strong enough to win wars on their own.
Also to the slenesh question about the cool breeze and feeling the sun and food. That part represents other species since all emotion goes into the warp
Bricky's video was, I believe, done when Tau Empire was relatively new in Warhammer 40K. And many players complained that Tau are too good and doesn't fit the Wahrammer. So later Games Workpshop made some changes. It was revealed in lore than Imperium of Man was concerned with the Tau and made some research. And what they found is that different factions of the Tau only coexist when one of The Ethereals is around. As soon as they are left by themselves - they fight each other once more. So The Greater Good is merely a psychological trick to brainwash all those factions into being slaves to The Ethereals. In that aspect The Tau are, maybe, the worst kind of evil. They enslave you without you even realizing that you are a slave. The Empire of Man's stance on this is that if you are to be enslaved - it's actually better if you *KNOW* you are enslaved rather than being brainwashed.
The War in Heaven between the Necrons and the Old ones is most likely what spawned the first 3 Chaos Gods with Slanesh coming later. The Old Ones were Pyskers and abused the warp, basically turning it into space Hell. Bricky also has a 40k podcast called Adeptus Ridiculous that goes into this stuff more with a buddy of his and it's actually quite entertaining.
I highly suggest you watch his video about of the 18 legions and they're primarchs. He goes into all of them and explains why Konrad and his legion are sick scum.
The Tau actually have splinter faction that Bricky didn't bring up called the Farsight Enclaves lead by Commander Farsight (who has a new model) and is probably the coolest Tau Character... A Badass General in a Mech Suit with a Ancient Alien Sword that steals the lifespan of those he kills.
Okay here's how it works with chaos and the chaos Space Marines and how it works with killing them okay. With chaos Space Marines you can kill them you can keep killing them as many times as you want and they will stay dead. However if they ascend to demon Hood been that gets a little complicated. Like the demon primark's they can't be killed they can be banished but eventually sometime at some point they will return because they ascended to demon Prince hood or demon Hood in general. So killing a demon doesn't necessarily mean that they'll go away forever you just banish them and eventually they will come back. If they're just a normal chaos Space Marine with the blessing of one of the chaos Gods you can kill them and they won't come back because they didn't ascend. Now you probably wondering how do they recruit will they General conversion they generally capture Space Marines and convert them to chaos but. Space Marines in general with gene seed they have a progenitor gland these progenitor glands literally make new gene seed they just Harvest them from the Space Marines every 10 years. So that they can make new Space Marines with chaos Space Marines their Gene seed are corrupted by chaos so it's very hard to you know make more. Chaos Space Marines a group of chaos Space Marines the iron Warriors tried to get around this problem. It's a subject that we don't talk about that's the one rule about Warhammer we don't talk about this subject at all the daemonculaba we do not talk about this subject that's the one rule that most Warhammer people have agreed on we don't talk about it
There are many planets in the warp (Eye of Terror) and they are populated by humans and space marines. Some chaos champions will be given a planet to rule as a reward for their service
On the question of why slannesh is the prince of pleasure. The chaos gods have no true physical form they can be and look how ever they please. Khorn may look like a giant dude on a mountain of skulls but really it’s just how his worshippers choose to see him.
honestly the best description of the warp is by magnus from the tts series "Every single thought or feeling you've ever had both consciously and subconsciously becomes reality in the warp. Every single human emotion becomes a power, every single metaphor becomes a literal meaning, everyones wish's, dreams, desires, fears, nightmares are incarnated, which is why the warp is so corrosive and horrifying since so many conflicting and contradicting ideas are floating around inside of it. and the 'GODS; in fact are collective subconscious constructs that that reflect mental crucial aspects of ALL life, Daemons are shards of their respective god, much like individual cells make up an organism. And something people seem to forget is that these god represent ALL thoughts and emption, the good, the bad and the ugly for example Tzeentch may be a cruel and devious trickster but he's also a force of progress and a beacon of hope. change after all is neither innately benevolent or malevolent, but it sure isnt as shitterling isnt the same as it was before. Without tzeentch there would be no malicious schemes but there would also be no one clever enough to save people from those schemes. nothing would ever get done we would fall into an eternal stasis of static karma and THAT is what nurgle represents: stagnancy. A lack of change. Inevitable eternal cycles of decay and renewal, but he also represents the resolve, resilience and solidarity to face those same, unsettling inevitabilities. without nurgle there will be no consistency , safety, or comfort in living or dying. infact there would be no consistency at all, and All those cycles of decay and renewal are just the circle of life. Infact nurgle is technically nature incarnate Khorne may be a merciless, mindless slaughter and hatered but thats because he proscibes to another natural concept, survival of the fittest, strength and skill are all that matters to him. He also represents justice, vengeance and honour, so unlike the others khorne would never try to trick you or stab you in the back. Without him there would be no honesty, and no strength to fight against injustice, and speaking of injustice; slaanesh may be a horrifying, cruel, torturous fiend that breaks minds and inflicts untold suffering but he... she.. it, also exudes just as much joy, freedom expression and happiness, its ironic yet it makes sense. Slaanesh was formed from the extremes of emotional experience, representing both joyful freedom, as well as crippling suffering. Without slaanesh there would be no happiness and no grief to make the happy times MEAN anything" that took me a good long while lmao. enjoy!
You were wondering if the Tyranids had already consumed the rest of the galaxy, and if the Milky Way was just their final buffet. While that is certainly a possibility and how a lot of the fandom used to think, more recent editions of the game have given hints of something much more terrifying: the Tyranid Hive Fleets could be FLEEING from something and we just happened to be in their way; just a way for them to replenish their biomass as if our galaxy was an intergalactic fast food rest stop. What in the Emperor's name could be out there that has even a galactic-scale hive-mind locust swarm running scared?

A man of culture i see
Well thats your fault for hiding blood and a skull in there.
Thing with Nurgle's followers is they dont feel the pain they should be feeling as being walking corpses unless they get cut off from nurgle. To them nothing is wrong with being diseased ridden walking corpses. Also from what i remember Nurgle actually cares about his followers which is why he's refered to as papa nurgle.
Oh wow, then that doesn't sound that bad really
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyYes, but the build-up to that is usually unimaginable agony and suffering, begging for death as Nurgle's plagues keep you alive far beyond the point where your body should cease functioning. Some are allowed to die and find peace, while others simply lose their minds, but Nurgle always listens for that little voice in the back of your head screaming 'Make it stop!' or 'I don't want to die!', and if he is moved by your request or your ability to endure without complaint, he might offer some comfort. He will almost never completely remove his 'gifts', but he might take away your sense of pain and discomfort, so you may go about your day unbothered as your guts spill out and drag across the ground, or festering sores bubble and burst across your body like boiling water. Madness is also a gift Nurgle shares, as your mind shatters and all that's left is a meaty puppet for the Grandfather, free of suffering, pain, or disgust and self-loathing for the diseased monstrosity you have become, but Nurgle also likes to show people the natural beauty of life, death, and rot, guiding them to his way of thinking by telling them 'Is it really so bad? You'll all end up like this one day. Why not embrace it? Or maybe you just want more time to enjoy the rich bounty of life before you return to the dirt and become a seedbed?' Those are the ones who call him Grandfather and Papa Nurgle. And Nurgle's favorite past-time is showering people with his 'gifts', and nothing warms his heart like an earnest 'Thank you Grandfather!' from a spoiled child who didn't appreciate his gifts before. That's what Mortarion and the Death Guard were to Nurgle; children who didn't fully appreciate his gifts until he drowned them in plagues and offered a kind hand, a warm hug and a smile to them as they were literally crying their hearts out.
Always remember children:

It’s sedation. They’re sedated from their own decomposition.
He pretends to care and if you fail him he will make you feel the pain of all those diseases remember the chaos gods are a fickle and don’t really care about you (Nurgle just pretends to care cause we all eventually rot)
@@zerowolf0006 Oh no. That's the scary thing; Nurgle might not be punishing you, because he might just be trying to motivate you with more 'gifts'. The most horrifying thing with Nurgle is the idea that as a Chaos God that he is so far beyond the mortal concept of good and evil that everything he does might be out of genuine altruism on his part.
Angron didn't actually remove parts of his Brain.
The Slavers on his Home planet did after he refused to kill his father figure in the gladiatorial Arena he was in.
They a device called the Butchers Nail in his brain that are supposed to turn you into a berserker that is in pain whenever he's not doing something violent.
But as his Brain was way more complex they had to remove parts of his brain to make them fit.
Which is really tragic as he was a extremely nice guy before that.
yup, bricky only corrected that in his all legion vid
Wasn't Angron supposed to be really empathetic before the whole butcher's nails fiasco?
@@billysmith1873 yes.
The Primarch power we saw him having was literally to take away the pain and suffering of his Gladiator brothers.

@@billysmith1873 it is hinted in the novel that his powers were related to empathy and he was much more empathic before the nails indeed
If you're wondering why the necrons went into hibernation, it's because they were just waiting for the eldar empire to fall and then reclaim what is rightfully theirs.
Yeah, their main plan got cut off as they didn't really have any way to properly counter Psykers, so instead they seeded the Pariah gene across the universe and went to sleep, expecting to wake up to a Warp-free universe....but it turns out that the Pariah gene not only makes everyone hate those people and they rarely survive to begin with, but it's also recessive and rarely manifests even if the pariah manages to successfully breed or a carrier has it.
The Necrons can force it to awaken if a person is a carrier, but it's a fairly slow and hands on process.
And fall it certainly did
Which in hindsight, banks on a lot of faith on luck.
@@awalkingfire2176 Not quite. It lasted a lot longer than the Necrons expected. By the end of the War in Heaven, the Old Ones' actions had massively screwed up the warp (this is how 3/4 Chaos gods were born) and the whole galaxy was having apocalyptic intrusions of warp-borne predators and daemons. The Necrons figured that they'd be riding out that shit in hibernation and then come back to a mostly depopulated galaxy.
Well, let's just say that most of 'em got a real bad surprise when waking up.
@@awalkingfire2176I mean, look at the track record. The Necrons beat the C'tan because the C'tan started punching each other. Then, as the Necrons slept, the Eldar decimated themselves, the Orks lost their intelligence, and the human empire rose before splitting itself in half. Their strategy of simply outlasting their foes seems to have a nearly 100% success rate.
Other effects that colours cause for the orks include:
Yellow = bigger boom

@@darkdwarf007I am going to ignore this new information
43:25 Slaanesh is basically agender and referred to with different titles depending. The Eldar might refer to Slaanesh as 'She Who Thirsts', there's also the 'Lord of Excess', 'Prince of Pleasure', etc. What you have to understand is that the artwork Bricky uses for the chaos gods is not necessarily meant to literally depict said gods, they are more a form that they take that a mortal mind might be able to understand. Tzeentch obviously is a trickster shapeshifting bastard, but Slaanesh as well is always depicted as having a glamour to make themselves appear to be whatever you desire most, male, female, whatever. They can't even help it, it's just who they are.
Yes-gender
Slaanesh is a little like Desire of the Endless in Sandman: For the godexx of excess, just one of anything could never be enough, even gender.
The Necrons went into stasis because they were very good at 'reading the stars' and foreseeing the future. They foresaw that the Eldar civilization would collapse in on itself. They foresaw that the orks would devolve without an overarching goal to unite them. Why fight them now when you can retreat where nobody can find you and wait 60 million years when they're weaker and easier to deal with?
The Necrons technically are the biggest threat to the 40k universe. The issue is they're not supposed to be awake, yet. There was no grand awakening so 90% of them are still asleep. They're a shadowy, looming presence on the horizon, but little else. They're more concerned with the Tyranids than anything else, at the moment.
They even had a small-scale temporal alliances with the Imperium, and actually, in contrast to the Eldar, treat the humanity with some respect.
Regarding Slaanesh and why they go for the extreme stuff: They have become desensitized to everything less.
This is why ya don't do drugs or stuff, you'll always be looking for harder hits and then one day *BOOM* you are an warped elder god of extreme feelings
Aye.
Strong emotions pretty much work as ”food” for the chaos Gods… and Slaanesh followers go really extreme on with their pursuit of greatest, ermmm, ”emotions”… 😅
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyYou were exactly spot-on with the parallel to Hellraiser, btw.
The Craftworlders have found a workaround called "Soul Stones." Essentially, it is a gemstone that traps a dead Eldar's soul to keep it from entering the Warp and going to Slaanesh.
They also have Infinitely circuits on there ships where they put the souls of dead Craftworld Eldar where they are safe from the Warp
Yeah, when soul traps and a virtual afterlife are the preferred option, you know shit is bad.
Also, same for when the "high elves" worship and sacrifice to the god of murder and strife because that's the one god they've got left.
I remember one craft world made a few half elves half astarties from collected space marine dna but they ended up basically making a race in itself or something like that
Basically a black soul gem
But just some interesting little things that Bricky wasn't able to cover about the Chaos Gods.
Khorne again doesn't look kindly on backstabbing and one time one of his most powerful Bloodthirsters (Big Red Demons with wings) named Skarbrand did the unthinkable.
See Skarbrand was so powerful he could level cities with a swing of his Axes, but one day whether it was Tzeentch's manipulation or his boundless rage dulling his judgment, he decided to potshot Khorne.
He hit him with a blow that could annihilate New York & all it did was barely scuff Khorne's armor. So Khorne in his anger choked the PERSONALITY out of Skarbrand then hurled him across the stars just so years later he'd land in the mortal realm & go on a mindless rampage.
Yeah I don't know why but all of Tzeentch's followers have a bird ascetic the higher you get in his favor. Like Kairos Fateweaver (the two headed one you saw) who one head sees the future and another sees the past but neither can comprehend the present.
Just to give you a taste of Nurgles duality and Slaanesh's domination (😉):
Slaanesh when she/he/it was born it not only devoured all Eldar souls they could but then went on to slaughter all but 3 Eldarian Gods.
Cegorach the Laughing God escaped into the Web Way, Khaine the God of War got his shit pushed in but was scattered into millions of shards but technically isn't dead, and the Isha the Goddess of Harvest and Fertility.
Isha was captured by Slaanesh and taken back to their realm. But before she could suffer what i can only imagine would have been a terrible fate, Papa Nurgle led his hoard personally into Slaanesh's realm and rescued her. Romantic right?
Then he married Isha and now has her test out all his different concoctions of Disease, Rot, etc.. in his constant attempt at making more powerful illnesses.
Because she being a god who represents Aspects of Life if she dies or gets permanently ill then he'd be close to perfection.
But Isha being patient and smart developes cures from her body and hands it down to her worshippers.
Omg so many gods!
And let me guess, if that daemon had attacked Khorn head on he wouldn't have been pissed? Or at least not as much
@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Yeah he would have respected the challenge. But attacking him from behind like a coward? AND being weak willed enough to let Tzeentch manipulate him into it? Was like Skarbrand spitting in his face.
I believe that Khaine and Slaanesh had actually fought to a standstill, until Khorne intervened to save Slaanesh.
@worldlinezero4783 I think it was the other way. Khorne saved Khaine because he's so much like him and Khorne either wants to fight him or keep a new rival alive.
The Tzeentch bird aesthetic is probably inspired by ancient mythologies, like Odin's ravens or bird-headed Egyptian gods like Thoth and Horus, all associated with knowledge, magic, and things of that nature.
Dark Eldar are the type of sexy/attractive women ya meet at a bar and you think they’re taking ya back to their place for “adult” for only to learn they organ/body part harvesters
VERY kinky hehe
The Eldar used to have a full pantheon of their own. Most of them got eaten by Slaanesh, save three: Cegorach, Isha the Goddess of Life (who was scooped up by Nurgle), and Kain the War God, who was instead shattered.
As for the Harlequins, they also have a duty of preserving the cultural history of the Eldar like the various storytellers of our history. They travel between various Eldar settlements (Craftworlds, Drukhari, etc.) and put on plays that serve to remind the Eldar of why they're a dying race and to not go that far ever again.
1:30:08 The whole idea behind going into hibernation on the tomb worlds is twofold. 1. The War in Heaven fucked up the galaxy, they were deploying black holes as weapons to kill entire star systems (and there have been references to even crazier weapons). The necrons went to sleep so that 60 million years later, they could wake up to a galaxy that wasn’t essentially a dead war zone with zero life in it. 2. They figured that after 60 million years, their enemies would either be dead, be weak enough that they can deal with them easily (which is the case) or they would all be dead. Time is a wonderful weapon if you can use it.
Kurze was twisted long before he went traitor. A Highlight of his legion include dropping skinned bodies onto a city when they thought they won a fight.
Suicide was illegal on his planet, so when he caught a girl trying to kill herself, he stopped her, then brutally tortured her to death over a long time as punishment.
-edit-
He could have been such a force for good had he been raised and trained on Terra, instead of the hellhole that was Nostramo (global Gotham city at it's worst). Preprogrammed with an innate desire for justice and order, but with no reference to properly dole it out.
the night lords conquered as many worlds as the other legions
but they did it with the fewest civilian casualtys
and a decent amount fewer enemy combatant casuatys aswell
they where terrifying, but they where a terror weapon and kurze knew how to use that to make people not die
they where monsters, but also the only marines with empathy
@@ashardalondragnipurake dunno about empathy, maybe the first batch of night lords from nostramo, the ones who were the actual best people from the planet. but by the beginning of the heresy, most of those were gone, nearly all that was left was the sadists. torture became the goal, not the method. wanna get the Kurze books, from what ive gotten out of his story, its a damn tragedy
@@Khazorhoth yes in the end he was working with the scraps
they still had empathy, but that doesnt help when the emotions they can understand are understood by sociopaths
kurze was forced away from the planet for too long against his will and the planet was basically made to breed scum
he needed to return and show the people terror again and they would have cleaned up fast enough
but that still doesnt change that even the psychopath night lords caused less harm in their conquest of new worlds during the crusade then any other legion
@@Khazorhoth From exceptional Astartes like Sevatar to human refuse in superhuman form like Skraivok and Mawdrym.
@@ashardalondragnipurake Um no that goes to the emperor's children actually.
Bricky has one more well-known video, its an explanation for each of the 20 different Space Marine Legions, their specialities, Primarchs and allegiance.
I think Tau’s problem is that they’re too “clean”. The style is very modern, disciplined, and straight up clean. They don’t have that dark grim aesthetic to them and also their ideals is a lot less evil, almost “naive” view of the universe. But that’s kinda what make I like them, they don’t really fall into the same categories as other races. They seems like the very few people in the 40K universe that you can possible have a chat with and won’t get shot in the face immediately.
The best thing about the tau is their naivety of the universe. It leads to them being overconfident and taking risks they really shouldn't. People will say it's not grimdark, but they forget the biggest aspect of grimdark; the loss of hope. The Tau, over time, has become jaded and cruel. They are the example to show that the Warhammer world will not get better, and there is no hope. That's how they fit into the setting, and I think people are sleeping on it.
A lot of people don't know this, but the Tau have a lot of hidden Darkness, mostly perpetrated by the Ethereal Caste.
Example: Humans are allowed to join the Tau, and are even allowed to openly worship the Emperor (so long as they accept the greater good). Sounds really generous, right? Well, the Tau secretly remove their reproductive organs, so that only humans who don't believe in the Emperor will have children within the Tau Empire. Why? Because the best way to successfully convert a foreign population to your side, is to appear to show mercy to "all" of the captured or acquired. You might like the Tau, but if they kill your Emperor-loving Aunt and Uncle, you're not going to join them, are you? But, if your Aunt and Uncle never have kids (that hate the Tau), but YOU DO, then eventually the Tau will only have living humans in their empire that love them and not the imperium or emperor.
This is pretty much how the Tau converted every race under them, by the way
@@cheeseninja1115i have never thought about them like this and i have to agree, it does fit the setting
I always like them because it looked like they found a hard drive loaded with mecha anime and went, "Yes, built that. Build _all_ of that." Mechs are cool, fight me.
That's why I dont really like how GW retcon them to actually always have been evil in their higher-ups like Covenant Prophets from Halo. Had they stayed the good guy faction, it would have made them stand out and fitting at the same time because then they would be the hopeful minority in the grim darkness of the far future and that could have led to some quality tragedy that'd paradoxically fit right in with the rest of 40k
The best way to describe the warp is that any person that isn't the absolute best of humanity that looks into the warp goes completely insane. Especially if they look into Tzentch's part of the warp. Also yes demons go back into the warp when they die unless you can destroy their soul.
Everything is just so depressing and scary, every time I think I understand how dark it is, it gets worse haha. I love it
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy It's to be expected from the franchise that popularized the term grimdark.
Another thing about daemons, they don’t actually have a physical form. If they’re not in the warp or in a place filled with warp energy, they can’t exist in the physical realm. They’re are daemon world in the physical space, they’re just covered in warp energy and usually inside the eye of terror. However daemons can possess people too, which gives them a physical form to do whatever.
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Just wait until you hear of the lamenter space marines.. or the Death Corps of Krieg
Horus, also known as Heru or Hor in Ancient Egyptian, is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities who served many functions, most notably as god of kingship, healing, protection, the sun and the sky.

@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyOrk-technology is still based in Physics, a vehicle can't drive without a motor for example, but the Whaaagh-Energy that is generated by a large Number of Orks being in one place greases the laws of Physics to their advantage, so that an axle that is held together by basically Duct-Tape still transfers power from the Motor to the wheels.
The Adeptus Mechanicus on the other hand apply the laws of Physics in construction and repair and understand them. But a lot of Technology has been forgotten sindmce the Dark/Golden Age of Technology and What the Adeptus Mechanicus knows is kept in the form of prayers and rituals. They basically recite the Instruction manuals, embellished with a lot of incense. It's debated in the Fandom if Machine-spirits really exist or if they are primitive AI or whatever.
Sorry for making such a long thing. Watch Luetin09 or oculus imperia for deeper dives into Orcs and Human technology, they are both very dilligent.
Here's the thing about Genestealers and why they are considered a bigger threat in some cases compared to like Chaos and other Xenos.
A Broodlord Tyranid (a little bigger than a 6' human) lands on an Imperial city world and hides away in the deepest darkest sewer. A human unknowingly wanders into it's lair but instead of being killed, the human is hypnotized. Instead of seeing a horrible four armed monster, the human see a beautiful angel sent forth by the God-Emperor himself, and this angel is here because he sees you toiling away at your bleak and depressing life and he wants to save you and their world from the corrupt Imperium and bring it closer to what the God-Emperor truly intended. But, before that can happen, this angel needs to you bring forth other people that can be saved.
So, this human renewed with a sense of purpose, goes to work and says "hey, I saw these gang members stashing boxes of Sisters Of Battle pinup calanders in the sewers, why don't we snag some", and one or two coworkers agree and follow him into the sewers. One is eaten by the Broodlord cus he was hungry and the other is also hypnotized. But now those two go out and each bring back two guys, this time no one is eaten, then those four go out and bring back four guys. And so on.
This will happen for years, but it's not done yet.
Once the gathering of followers is quite large, they will breed with the Broodlord, and produce various Tyranid/Human hybrids. The monstrous ones are hailed by the cult as being the closest to angels and praised for their beauty. The more human looking ones are raised by their cultist parents and that child grows up and gets a job working at a traffic center. A kid who was made fun of because he was bald, grows up and gets a job as an Arbites (Imperium police).
This crossbreeding happens over decades, while the hoard of monsters grows in the depths of the city, while the human passing ones spread on the surface finding various jobs and rising through the ranks, while their descendants hook up with ordinary people who unknowingly produce even more subtle hybrids. All the while they stockpile guns, ammo, equipment, etc.
Then once the army is sizable, the Broodlord gives the signal to the cultists and the Revolution begins. Judgement Day falls onto this world as the the roads are clogged from the traffic lights going haywire, the police are spread too thin due to bad directions and intel. With the world's infrastructure sabotaged by the cult at so many levels, the Cult's "Revolution" will make quick work of any resistance.
As the Revolution celebrates it's victory in the streets, the Cultists look up and see these beautiful golden ships and angels descending. The world is saved, and they will be lead into paradise by the God-Emperor and his angels... and if they're lucky, that's what they'll die seeing.
If not, the hypnotism will end and they will see giant "ships" made of flesh and bone spewing toxic spores that eat away at organic matter and hoards of monsters will descend on their world. They can't call for help because they sabotaged their own communication system, they can't escape cus all of the planet's ships were destroyed, they can't fight because they have little to no ammo. So they watch and they and their world is devoured, and die knowing that this was all their fault.
The Eldar have these things called soul stones that trap a soul before it has a chance to enter the warp. The stone is then placed into what can best be described as a psychic virtual world where they can have their afterlife free of Slaanesh.
I imagine it's like VRchat.
@@CordovanSplotchVTI’m glad I’m not the only one who’d imagined it in a similar way.

While chaos by itself isn't necessarily evil, it is incompatable with life in the galexy. The chaos gods desire to grow and spread by corruption of both followers and worlds. Those that willingly follow chaos are definitely evil as they are betraying the entire galexy for their own benefit. And yes chaos winning might result in the death of the chaos gods
Also the dark Eldar don't just torture because they need to they enjoy it
Then dark elves are TOO kinky hehe
something not said in the video, the true aspects of the gods of chaos are not really known, those you see in the illustrations are not their original appearance, here it is explained how they could be or how they have presented themselves sometimes: What Do The Chaos Gods Actually Look Like? | Warhammer 40k Lore
Oh snap, I gotta see that video too!
that video is not entirely correct. multiple gw authors have described the chaos gods as ''enormous concentrated saturations of warp energy in the immaterium'' and ''more akin to sentient weather than a person'', so they do not really have a physical form, they're like shapes in clouds. but how can they be hit like with skarbrand and khorne? ...its chaos, it just works. xD
and they're also not really gods, they are strong enough to be seen as gods by lesser beings, but they're not.
that being said, lets not forget we are dealing with gamesworkshop here. things they say and write and what is written and said later can make things clear or just more confusing, and will without a doubt contradict what was written and said before.
I was listening to this while driving home from a job. I wanted to mention something . Angron that Bricky was wrong about. (To be fair, i dont think he know all of the story, just cliffnotes.)
Angron didn't purposely remove parts of his brain. He was a gladiator slave, and he actually had a power to take other people's pain away, taking it to himself. (He is a primarch, he can take it). His masters used ancient tech called "The Butcher's Nails" on him. The Nails dig into the brain and kill the parts of the mind that create dopamin from its natural sources. The Nails make people only feel joy when they are inflicting violence. But because Angron is a primarch, hes built a bit differently. The nails just killed his ability to feel any emotions like joy or peace. The nails caused endless agony.
Imagine having a migraine and having machines constantly humming in your head. I'd be pretty angry, too.
(There's also the fact the Emperor stole Angron away from his fellow warriors while fighting his last stand and telling Angron that the others didn't matter. Angron wasn't too happy about that either.
Ah that does make more sense
Bricky does have space marine chapters video which is a good quick breakdown of each legion involved in current 40K and the Horus Heresy

Like that woman from a bolivian cartel that liked to seduce men and behead them before doing the deed to their corpses
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Another funny story is that the Orks ran away from Blood Angels Space Marine and because of their belief that painting things red makes you go faster, they believed that they'll be killed by the Blood Angels because they're red. The legion caught up to them and killed them. They literally got killed by their own belief.
Chaos Space Marine recruitment is somewhat complicated and vague, but a majority of them have lived since the Horus Heresy: the rest are either more recent Traitors Space Marines who joined the Traitor Legions or Chaos Marines that were made via the same process of a normal Marine, though this is much rarer as most lack the tools to do so. All in all, it varies from group to group based on need or preference.

2 new Gods have popped up in the last couple of years:
Ynnari the Reborn, the Aeldar's new private Grim Reaper & god of revenge, made from sacrificing the Soul stones that they were using to save themselves from She-Who-Thirsts
& Tau'va, the God of the Tau Greater Good, who popped into existence to save them from Daemons who turned up the first time Tau tried using a warp engine
To explain Cegorach. Much like how Slaneesh was formed, so did the Aeldari pantheon before it. Due to the Eldar being an entire species of powerful psykers with heightened emotions, they were able to create their own gods. Cegorach is one of the only survivors of the Aeldari pantheon as he fled into the Webway while Slaneesh devoured the eldar and the rest of the pantheon. The other surviving gods are Khaine, the eldar god of war and slaughter who was shattered into numerous shards that can be used for battle by the craftworlds, literally sacrificing ancient warriors to bring about burning, towering demigods. The other is Isha, she is the eldar god of healing, vitality and nature who was saved by Nurgle and now spends her time locked in a cage, forced to be the test bed for Grandfather Nurgle's newest warp plagues and diseases.
If it's an important character, their name is more likely to be based on ancient mythology than it is to be a pun. Horus is named after the Egyptian god, though if they wanted to play up the traitorous bit, they'd name him some variation of Set.
That makes sense. And idk why I forgot Horus is the name of an Egyptian God, I am so dumb
1:17:25 It's funny you say that, because the Adeptus Mechanicus actually believe that the Orks have their version of machine spirits that makes it possible for their machines to work.
Deamon is just the older greek form of demon, they mean the same thing if i remember right
And also in computing:
"In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ or /ˈdeɪmən/) is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user. "
This is absolutely not copied from Wikipedia :p
Yes and no 90bubbel60 , Daemon or Daimon in Ancient Greek originally referred to lesser deities or spirits that guide people, some sources mention that they were once human, but transformed into Daimones (plural form) by Zeus to become benevolent guardian spirits. They even had shrines for the daimones of heroic figures. Plato subscribed to a traditional thought that mentioned that every single person is born with one daimon watching over them.
It was thanks to the word being translated to the Hebrew Shedim / Se'irim (which was used for foriegn deities or idols), which was used to refer to Asmodeus, that daimon became associated with evil spirits in the New Testament's original Greek Text.
Luetin09's Dark Beginnings Necrons, Old Ones & Eldars. It covers the origins of the War in Heaven, the warp as well the origins of the Eldar and Necrons.
Thanks for the recommendation brother!
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Any time. Have a nice day.
The Imperial exploration fleet did call for an extermination fleet, but the Warp Storm cut off the Tau territory before it could arrive.
and it was low priority
I don't know why this was not mentioned in this video. But eldar people carry around items called "Spirit Stone" which captures their soul after they die. So it can later be transferred to Craftworld core, where it can join ancestors and act as a guiding force for still-living eldar's.
Which makes their Craftworld particularly important. Because if they lose it, they won't just lose their home. They will lose everything that came before them.
Daemon goes back to Greek and is related to daimon, "'lesser god, guiding spirit, tutelary deity."
The Greeks had the concept eudaimona, an inner guardian that creates happiness.
Daemon is also used in computing terminology: "In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ or /ˈdeɪmən/) is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user."
It's a word flush with associations that all are relevant in some way. :D
One thing he leaves out, to counteract their souls going to Slaanesh the Craftworld Eldar have these special gems on their person at all times & just in case they die their soul is contained in the gem instead of going to Slaanesh.
These soul gems then are recovered at all cost to prevent them from being stolen or destroyed. Cause to the Craftworld Eldar it is like losing a loved one twice cause then Slaaanesh can claim them upon its destruction.
Eldar then use them to power their ship or they can put them in these robotic bodies & giant mechs so they can rejoin the fight if they wish. It's actually looked down upon by some Eldar as the new "Bodies" are seen as unnatural or abominations.
Craftworld Eldar do this with pride because it beats getting devoured by Slaanesh & it helps their people in some way.
The Harlequins aren't just murders and savage defenders of the Black Library but are actually mediators who are free to go in between the other factions. So they are actually respected by all Eldar.
Exodites, are actually another faction of Eldar he didn't cover. They are jokingly called the Amish of the Eldar. They re-populate wild worlds but instead of horses they use dinosaurs.
Oh dang, that's amazing! Still scary for them but at least they have a chance to void the hell that awaits thanks to the crystal
You should totally watch the "WH40k Timeline by Trayzn the Infinite" by Warrior Tier. It'll answer so many of your questions. It's also written and voice-acted so well!
I second this
26:45 -It's a little error - Angron didn't remove parts of his brain on his own, he was forced to get that by slave owners when he was a child gladiator. Owners were like "He doesn't want to kill his friend? You know what - brain damage will fix it." and put into his brain electrodes called Butcher Nails that make him suffer every time he feels anything else than anger.
The gene-seed stuff goes both ways. The Chaos Space Marines restore their numbers in the same way that the Imperium does. After all, the primarch went with them over to Chaos, meaning they have the gene seed with them.
Each Chaos god also gives gifts to his/her most devoted followers which begin pretty ok, but being too devoted will begin to get you some pretty heavy modifications till you become a monstrous daemon for the god:
Khorne grants his followers with more self esteem and strenght, you will become a peak human in anatomy
Nurgle although he will make you look like a decaying corpse, he will stop you from feeling any pain, in fact nurgle followers are the happiest of all
Slaanesh should be obvious, you gonna get a lot of happiness but it will work like a drug where you will get high highs and low lows
And Tzeentch... Even tho he is the chaos god of hope, he will just mess with you, he wants change as much as khorne wants violence, so unless you constantly betray and change your ways, he will begin to change you, to the point that you might wake up one day with a tentacle in the place of an arm, he is a big troll like that
Omg Nurgle doesn't sound too bad, he really do be loving us
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy yeah, that Is why the community calls him papa nurgle
A lot of deamons of Nurgle even act pretty childish and innocent wanting to make Friends with the enemy soldiers, but once they get to hug an enemy... The enemy usually has already desolved or Is screaming as parasites burst from their body
Fighting nurgle Is a Nightmare, soldiers Will die from horrible diseases before even seeing Nurgles army at the Horizon
And yes, nurgle has created viruses that somehow rust away necrons and other machine-like lifeforms
He Is all about entropy so yeah, mostly nothing can flee his decay
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy
Keep in mind: a Chaos God can revoke its gifts as quickly as it granted them.
So in the case of Nurgle’s followers? Displease Nurgle too much and he’ll revoke that immunity to pain and his diseases. Leading to a quick and gruesome death.
There’s also a type of creature called a Chaos Spawn, where the mutations from the gods’ blessings prove too much for the mortal’s body and they’re mutated into a gibbering insane and bestial mutant monstrosity.
23:20 1-on-1 a Chaos Space Marine and a regular Marine could go either way, for a variety of reasons. Regular marines *tend* to have more reliable access to quality wargear, and is generally a bit more regimented and mentally fortified to push through pain and despair, and have strong bonds of brotherhood with their peers, but they are usually a lot more of a known quantity, with few surprises and definitive limits to what even their superhuman traits allow. Chaos marines *tend* to be longer-lived and have more experience in battle (due to the timey-wimey nature of the warp some Chaos marines are the same veterans of the Horus Heresy from 10,000 years ago and have been fighting ever since) and may have received some otherworldly boon from one of the Chaos gods, but tend to be more individualistic and less willing to die for someone else's cause if it doesn't benefit them, and sometimes their wargear is made up of scrounged relics from thousands of years ago. In the final battle, it usually comes much more down to the individual than the average.
In terms of recruiting Chaos marines, they do have their own banks of gene-seed and their own resources to recruit and create new marines, but they are usually much more limited and scrounged together. Generally Chaos lacks any of the infrastructure of the Imperium. The recruits may be aspirants who want to prove themselves to their Chaos Marine masters or the Dark Gods, or slaves who are press-ganged, mind wiped and psycho-conditioned to be slavishly obedient.
You're correct about killing daemons, technically you can only banish them temporarily back to the Warp. Chaos Marines, however, are completely mortal and can die. Some can ascend to daemonhood to become Daemon Princes (almost all of the traitor primarchs who are still alive have done so) but that is a vanishingly rare achievement.
It is possible to kill a daemon but it is a very difficult achievement requiring either a special weapon, relic, ritual, or a massive amount of psychic power to accomplish. The only person other than the Emperor or a primarch I know to have killed one was an inquisitor named Eisenhorn with the help of a special crystal that boosted his psychic power and the Emperor had an sword that could permanently kill a daemon instead of just banishing it back to the warp to await a new physical body to be able to reenter the materium.
49:20 the craft world eldar have these things called soul stones that, if on their person traps their soul in them upon death and bricky didn’t mention this but I think they power some of their stronger units.
I'm glad they have a way out well, at least for now as long as the crystals are safe
Here's a cool little lore tid bit: There's a group of Orks that Khorne keeps in his realm to fight his demons forever. They die, he just brings them back. Their Warboss is named Tuska the Daemon-Killa. Bricky doesn't mention this, but the Orks actually have their own gods named Gork and Mork. Gork who is brutal but cunnin. And Mork, who is cunnin but brutal. Also the word daemon as just the old english way of spelling demon (I think).
Happy you are continuing your 40k lore journey!
One of us, one of us, one of us!
Thank you for the kind words brother!
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy You should check out the Helsreach series, its another warhammer animation much the the Astartes video, but with a very diferent style and an actual story with voice acting.
"How do they make more chaos space marines?"
My guy, do not ask that question, you do not want to know.
Quick Note: Around a year or two ago, Games Workshop revealed and released another xenos army called the Leagues of Votann and since Bricky’s video came out before this reveal, he didn’t really touch on them. I don’t play many tabletop Warhammer games myself and I don’t collect the army (I prefer the Admech) so someone else will have to explain to you how they play, but I can provide a summary.
The Leagues of Votann are actually descendants of human colonists that were closer to the center of the galaxy when humanity first fell, however their biology is so different from humans they are considered xenos. They are basically space dwarfs called Kin and the Votann themselves are actually old AI that the Kin deeply respect. The Leagues are like mega-corporations that go around and strip planets and asteroids of resources. The Kin are also VERY stubborn and hold deep grudges against those who slight them, whether it’s a single person or an entire race. They have a slight Nordic theme to them, not full on Viking like the Space Wolves, but some symbols and stuff.
Also, ROCK AND STONE ⛏️
Did I Hear A Rock & Stone?
"Have you ever met pigeons? They're unknowable."
Exactly!
If you think they're bad-
I befriended crows. Then swapped shifts. They now come to visit me on third shift. They dont want anything now, I just shared some chips when I first started. They just chill and vibe.
And bring me pebbles.@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy
1:37 there are planets (called daemon planets) in the warp but are really strange for example there's one in the slanesh realm that just a giant obese guy in the fetal position called Oliensis.
Wait what!? That's....well I guess that is on brand haha
Ehh, there are both the chaos realms which are pseudo-worlds that the chaos gods reside in, and actual physical worlds that have been dragged into the warp and left a hole in reality where they used to be. Each one of those holes? A chaos fleet capable of laying waste to entire sectors can pop out of each of them.
And yes, Cenobites dialed up to 11 is a good way to think about slaanesh, but to be more accurate slaanesh is the god of obsession and the extreme. Degeneracy was the flashpoint for their awakening, but an obsession can be anything in theory. There are daemons of slaanesh that obsess over food and look like an extremist glutton. You can fall to slaanesh in the pursuit of perfection, an obsession with defeating a foe, an nymphomania, you name it. Ironically, slaanesh's awakening is what kicked the chaos gods into action and forced the emperor to take up the position of emperor of humanity before all of humanity was driven to extinction. Before the age of strife (Which slaanesh's birth caused) humanity had no need of Big E, and he was content to be a scientist.
36:14 “how do you create a Chaos god?
By literally f8cking absolutely everything and everyone on a galaxy-wide scale
Something to note is that the regular Eldar do have a way to avoid their souls going to Slaanesh if they die. Basically they got these spirit stones where if they die their soul goes into this stone instead of to Slaanesh. The stone is then placed into this matrix type thing where they live a sort of afterlife. However, if the stone is swallowed by a Slaanesh demon then they will be tortured for all eternity, this has happened before
During the Siege of Terra Fulgrim Primarch of the Emperor’s Children quit the field and captured billions of civilians to turned into new drugs and stimulants.
Omg! That horrible.....how were the drugs though?
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyEh, pretty good.
I would highly recommend you watch the series 'Helsreach'. It was originally a 40K book, turned into an audio drama and finally a 13-part fan animation project (similar to Astartes, but larger in scope). It's got fantastic writing, amazing voice acting, great animation and it's surprisingly emotional. Really makes you feel what it's like to be in one of these awe-inspiring battles, and what it means to be in the universe. Would love to see your reaction to it.
If you're curious about Chaos Spacemarine recruitment, I'd recommend watching the "Daemonculaba".
Any video on the topic should explain it well enough, it's probably the edgiest part of 40k.
They recruit this way but they also do recruit renegade spacemarines and forceful recruitment where they capture a bunch of people, then they do whatever dark surgeries to enhance them, then brainwash them.
Most chaos geneseed is extremely corrupted (due to residing in the warp) so they often steal loyalist geneseed and create hybrid spacemarines.
There is a neat 6 minute 19 second animation called _Imperial Fist VS Iron Warrior_ by the channel _The Grape Lords_.
Also. Daemon is the Anglicized version of δαίμων (daimôn), which in Ancient Greek means a spirit or lesser divine entity, without the connotations of being fallen or evil non-divine non-human spirit entities as demon does in Christian English.
As far as Warhammer goes though, it is Daemons are simply aspects of the Chaos Gods, much like individual molecules are aspects of the whole of the human body.
Also, the channel _Old Man - Lore, Stories, and Theory_ has a series called Five(ish) minutes Lore, which is pretty good. It has the lore on the Ork who ascended to Khorne.
there are worlds in the warp, pockets of sense and reality amidst the roiling endless nothing. Those worlds are where you find the mortal champions of chaos, the chaos space marines, the dark mechanicum, various cults, and so forth. Daemons also reside on strange worlds and endless planes of terror.
In truth 3 of the Primarchs are dead Horus who was slain by the Emperor, Ferrus Manus Primarch of the Iron Hands who was beheaded by Fulgrim whom he considered his greatest friend and lastly Sanguinius of the Blood Angels who was slain by his brother Horus during the battle of the Vengeful spirit.
There's also Alpharius cut down by Rogal Dorn at the Battle of Pluto... probably.
And all but 2 of the remaining loyalist primarch are missing/might be dead but no one knows for sure
Konrad Curze, traitor primarch of the Night Lords was also killed by an assassin. And technically Vulkan of the loyalist Salamanders died a few times but he is a perpetual and just won't stay dead.
Also 2nd and 11th...
@@The0Stroy We don’t speak of them
The tyranids are my favorite. One of my favorite things Ive heard about them is that people thing they're weak because almost every story you hear about them is about them losing, but in reality thats because when they win there's no one to tell the story.
The chaos gods have their own domains/realms within the wrap, they also cant leave the wrap and enter real space.
And thank goodness for that.
Oh similar to Lovecraft Gods that are like Uber strong, they can't leave their place
Demon primarchs are generally not truly killable, you can off them, but they won't STAY dead.
'Normie' chaos marines don't come back when killed, but there are some non-primarch 'champions' of chaos, basically certain chaos marines have been 'chosen'/'blessed' by one (or all) of the chaos gods because of things they did/do that pleased that them.
These champions are usually immortal but I'm not certain that's always the case.
One of the funniest (and disturbing) examples of this is Slaanesh's immortal champion, Lucious The Eternal.
If you kill him and take any satisfaction/pride/etc in it, you will transform into him.
If Lucious steps on a landmine but one of the people who was involved in the building of that landmine took pride in making it, that guy will become Lucious.
Man i love when people react to videos i love. I can enjoy them vicariously through you like i never saw them before!
Glad ya enjoyed it :3
"How do you get more Chaos Space Marines?"
Do not look up Daemonculaba.
Do not look up Daemonculaba.
Do not look up Daemonculaba.
Another aspect of Chaos is that Everytime someone just so happens to show the traits that they represents, it gives them power, this is true of any Warp entity including the Emperor (the power of Faith)
One of the scariest things about the tyranids is that it is believed they are fleeing something.
Cegorach is one of the Eldar gods, born through more traditional worship before the fall of the Eldar during the War in Heaven. He is also one of the... Three? Eldar Gods that survived the fall and the only god who is still free, with Isha, goddess of life and healing being captured by Nurgle to ve the test subject of all his new diseases and Khaine, god of murder and battle prowess, being taken by Khorne somehow.
Chaos Space Marines have serious difficulty replenishing their numbers. Like you said, the Imperium can just create new Space Marines using geneseed and industrial might. Chaos SM have their geneseed corrupted and since they live in the warp they have little industry. CSM mainly replenish their numbers by having loyalist SM turn to their side, as well as kidnapping people and raiding SM geneseed vaults so they can combine the two and forcibly convert people into new CSM. But generally this is a very difficult process, so there's a good chance that when a CSM dies they won't be replaced. It's one of many reasons why the CSM haven't managed to destroy the Imperium in the last ten thousand years.
Also no, most CSM do not respawn in the Warp. Some do, and the Demon Primarchs do, but when a CSM dies they're usually just dead.
13:34 You’re talking about Tuska Demon-Killa. And he did more than just invade the Warp. He stabbed a demon in the balls while he was at it.
1:15:30 No, he’s a “Free Boota”. And they have their own gods, Gork and Mork. One is bru’al and cunnin’ the other is cunnin’ and brutal.
The "Tau weeaboo" joke is a reference to how animesque (such as Gundam like he mentioned) their larger units look.
Chaos: The question of why Chaos have spikes and skulls is answered with the warp. The warp is the mirror of the universe. Since the universe is so grimdark, so to is the warp and it's creatures. There are depictions of the chaos gods(I don't remember if it's fan or not) having a more ancient Greek aesthetic. The Warp has different planes both physical and not, the most prominent are the realms of chaos which is depicted as a large land mass with sections dedicated to one of the 4 gods. Also yes, daemons can't be killed, they go back to the warp. Samus is a prime example. However chaos space marines are not daemons. Same process to make a new chaos marine, just more forceful. They can become daemons like the Daemon Primarchs. Like the imperium, if there is no primarch, recycle the gene-seed. The warp is where spirits, minds, and wills gather from the universe. Take Saint Celestine for example, at first a sister of battle before she died and now always being resurrected by the warp.
Eldar: The Chaos Gods are said to be formless and thus have no gender, but are referred to as male. Slaanesh and his daemons not only have a bdsm Eldar thing, but they are also hermaphrodites. The deamons are shown stitched down the middle, one side male and the other female, aka uniboob. Ask Slaanesh, he would say he has always existed.
Harlequins: Every culter has their own gods, IDK about the god the Harliquins serve. But I know about the Eldar's goddess of life and medicine; being held captive, married, and experimented on by Nurgle; he sees what it does to her, she regens and secretly makes cure and gives to the Eldar.
Tyranids: "This one holds a sword" Look again and notice that it's melded. 'Do they use guns?' no only the Genestealer Cults.
Ork: They were created from the Old Ones, and made to be Krorks, the most resilient, deadliest, and smartest. To help fight the Necrons. Without them they fell from grace, mostly losing intelligence and being hunchbacks, and calling Krorks Tallboyz. They are all slightly psychers, they all derive power from the warp and is used in their kulture. Since they were genetically made, some retain that info and become wierdboyz. They're the ones making stuff and the more orks, the more they can make. The power of imagination. Orks are like sharks and crocs, where they continue to grow. So the biggest ork is also the oldest. They are the biggest threat, the only reason they arn't is because they're too busy fighting eachother.
Necrons: It doesn't make sense however the hibernation just worked. Other than the Horus Heresy, Humanity was slowly rebuilding from a dark age. Where they lost a lot of blueprints and the mechanicus is just keeping the machines running. The Astartes are reuniting humanity across the stars, and this is before and during Horus's betrayal. The Krorks became Orks. The Eldar lost 90% of their pop.
Tau: The bad of the Tau is "the Greater Good", and falling with the tyrannical nature that arises from Communism. Also Gundam = Anime = Weebs, that's basically where it comes from it's mostly how out of place they are.
So Orks. Orks are a weird symbiotic amalgam of animal and fungus, where most of the Ork's blood is replaced by a thick fungal soup in an extremely simple series of organs. This fungus takes care of most of the Ork's biological needs, to the point where it's actually theorized that Orks can perform photosynthesis to a limited extent to survive in environments that may otherwise be lacking in meaningful sustenance.
This fungus is also how the Orkoid or 'Greenskin' race reproduces. Allow me to explain:
The Orkoid races produce fungal spores when they breathe, fart, or shit, and they release even more spores when they die. These spores can take root basically anywhere, and eventually form fungal pods where other Orkoids will gestate and eventually be born. Generally Squigs or some Squig subspecies, like Squighawks or Squigsharks, will appear first, followed by the docile and simple-minded Snotlings and the more vicious and cunning Gretchins, or Grots as they're called, and then finally the proppa Ork Boyz will start popping out of the ground fully formed. Squigs and Orks theoretically never stop growing, but Snots and Grots are stunted at sub-human heights, which is a good thing for the Orks because the little goblins are generally better with their hands than the fat-fingered Orks.
Personally I LOVE Tau, thei designe, and how they fitt in the univers with their contrast.
I love the concept of this naive and new race in this horrible dark world.
For the Greater Good!
The question to "whether they come back" is "it depends". Some are "blessed" by their gods to forever come back.
"How do you get morre chaos space marines?"
Me:We do not speak about daemonculaba, WE DON NOT SPEAK ABOUT THE DAEMONCULABA!!
Honestly the most entertaining way to learn about 40k is a series called "If the Emperor had a Text to Speak Device" which sadly got canceled kinda after Games Workshop made a general legal threat to all 40k animation channels for using their IP which they retracted but they poached the Astartes creator during that alongside others.
This also soured the creator's interest in working with 40k afterward which is sad because they had just started properly getting to a climatic point in the story here is the specific episode for Big E but it's better to watch the whole thing from start to finish. Hopefully, they continue someday as they got millions of views back in the day
ua-cam.com/video/UUAAM1WE3Ng/v-deo.html
To answer your first question about the Warp, as far as I understand it, people can live in the Warp, but it usually requires special circumstances. Two examples:
In order to travel in WH40k, Imperial ships will enter the Warp and then pop out of the Warp as a form of like wormhole space travel. However, these ships that do this require a Gellar Field. Its an artificial "bubble" of reality that surronds the ship and protects it while traversing the Warp. Without it, the ship would subject to Warp storms, daemons and other Warp entities that would basically destroy the ship (or at least kill, mutate and/or drive insane the crew).
2nd Example: There are Chaos Space Marine chapters and Daemon Primarchs that live in the Warp on their own planets. That also means that those planets are usually inhabited by extremely unfortunate enslaved humans and such. The Daemon Primarch of the Word Bearers currently has his own planet in the Warp, but he's not really... uh utilizing the planet to its full potential. He's currently hiding in the massive temple he built to the Chaos gods, because him and his Space Marine Legion are currently being terrorized by the loyalist Primarch, Corvus Corax. We don't really know how Corvus Corax is alive or what he is. Because the Warp seems to have mutated him into some inhuman daemon, but I digress.
The Warp is not the ideal place for any living sentient species.
I want to recommend the series "If the Emperor Got a Text-To-Speech Device", a parody series that basically ups the amount of self-awareness 40K has and makes it absolutely absurd and hilarious, but tragically, from what I've heard, it got shut down by Games Workshop because GW are jerks who don't want to share their toys, even though parodies are completely legal and Emperor TTS had a disclaimer that it was a parody.
It didn't get shut down by GW. Alfabusa voluntarily shut it down on his own initiative to avoid any issues with GW without any request to do so.
@@Gustav_Kuriga Ah. I see. I feel like that makes it weirder that he shut it down. Was GW cracking down on parody stuff at the time or something?
@@Victor_Nova_56 Their lawyers put out a statement regarding new policy regarding parodies at the time. I'm not sure if they actually cracked down on anyone, but basically it was the typical thing you'd see a corporate lawyer with no PR or Community knowledge propose.
When it comes to talking about gods in 40k think of it like human religions and their pantheons. Humanity has the Emperor, Eldar have their Pantheon, Orks got Gork n' Mork, etc.
Also yes all of 40k was basically an arms race between children for its creation. "well my guys are biggest and strongest" "oh yeah? well my guys are even stronger and psychic."
Finally when Bricky said 'master of a million worlds' that was not an exaggeration. Humanity has over a million worlds and the bureaucracy behind it is atrocious. So having a daily check in is not only impossible cuz sending a psychic message is like sending a letter irl, even if it was the passivity of sending help to all of them is impossible
Hi I'm the guy who provides looooong explanations, I hope you can bear with it for the sake of knowledge 😅 I'll mostly try to answer your questions about daemons and chaos space marines (also with timestamps because I'm annoyingly meticulous):
21:05 The gods have their own realms within the warp where they reside but isn't just somewhere you can find a path to get to. Think of it like a floating island, you know it's somewhere on the ocean, but it's never gonna be in one spot and also the island shifts and distorts like the water it sits upon. Every realm in the warp constantly shifts, expanding and contracting, changing in size and shape, places spring up or disappear, created or destroyed, etc. And when it comes to daemons and their corporeal forms, it's a bit of a complicated thing. In art and on the tabletop they're usually depicted with one uniform design but that's for the sake of being easier to identify when playing the tabletop. But within the universe daemons can take on a multitude of forms and shapes, like for example the daemon of tzeentch ghargatuloth, who's just a massive pillar of eyes and mouths, and even then it had the ability to change how it's seen by others. Probably the most common way of telling a daemon's origin is through symbols on their body or armaments, as these will use the symbol of their patron god.
22:10 He's named horus as in the egyptian god horus, with his symbol even being an eye, designed similarly and named directly like the real life egyptian eye of horus symbol.
22:34 It's... complicated. Like, 60+ novels complicated (I'm not lying, and that's after removing all the short stories and novellas from the count).
23:26 In most cases it depends on who has better strategic thinking when it comes to marine vs chaos marine fights. For the most part, chaos space marines will be juiced up by warp energy but still largely fight like their loyalist counterparts with the same weapons and armor. However in the raw strength department more often than not a chaos marine can overpower a regular one, and that's if they don't already have mutations that buff them up even more or give them wacky powers. When it comes to these fights depicted in the lore, it honestly just boils down to who the writers need to win at the time. But for the most part they're evenly matched.
25:08 There's no outright explanation as to why the chaos gods have specific colors but my personal opinion is that you can chalk it up to being another 'ease of identification' thing for the tabletop. Because it's easy to imagine the war stuff being red, the decaying stuff being green, the magic stuff being blue, and the sexual stuff being pink/purple because that's how most of those concepts are portrayed in modern culture, like red lightsabers in star wars representing the sith because it's a more menacing-looking color to have on the bad guys.
26:09 To put it into perspective, curze died WITHOUT going daemon and without his legion of marines joining chaos. He was a man with a twisted sense of justice that was just pure black and white, punishing those who he believed were criminals, and the definition of criminal to him was very loose. He would torture and maim a few people to get hundreds to obey, rather than massacre armies until they surrendered, and would kill anyone over the smallest crime. Fear was his weapon and justice was his agenda... for the most part. He was also plagued with the ability to see the future, except he saw the most horrible futures and almost no one could understand his situation, spiraling him further into madness. In fact, his death was a result of him letting himself be assassinated just to prove the point of his visions. His most heinous acts include: Killing a woman for thinking about ending it because that's self-murder, making a statue of the emperor using body parts of tortured slaves, and making his entire fortress out of *living* human bodies. And despite all that, his story is still a sad and tragic one. That's warhammer for ya.
26:44 A misconception bricky would correct later on, but angron didn't remove parts of his brain to be angrier. He was enslaved as a gladiator and forced to fight people he developed bonds with. When he refused, they wired tech straight into his brain that hurt him if he felt anything other than anger.
27:24 The best part about that? The eye isn't even part of the model, whoever painted it decided to add it themselves.
27:58 Chaos space marines replenish their numbers in two ways: Either by loyalist space marines being corrupted and joining them or by raiding storages of geneseed from space marine fortresses and going through the regular process of space marine creation.
33:13 The warp is the afterlife, every soul on death that isn't immediately contained somewhere on death is sent to the warp where they float around before being consumed by daemons. Now, daemons are a portion of their god's power given sentience and since they are pure psychic warp energy, you can't really kill them. "Killing" them in real space simply cuts their connection to the material realm and banishes them back into the warp, where they will reform. Chaos space marines are still originally mortal and not created from warp energy, so they can physically die and their soul goes to the warp. And depending on if the chaos space marine in life was exceptional enough to be noticed by the gods, he may be turned into a daemon prince and become either a partial or full warp entity. But for your regular chaos marine, dying just means you die and your soul is consumed and you cease to be.
33:35 Chaos never payed attention to us until tens of thousands of years later because we had little presence in the warp. To them, a few billion people with next to no psykers with bright souls to consume is less than an appetizer. They only started to notice us because of the emperor revealing himself, a massive psychic powerhouse that they just couldn't ignore. However, daemons were present in our history and some were even born as a result of human action. For example, drach'nyen is a daemon born from the first murder (cain and abel), and the ragged knight who was created from the anger and hate of those who were massacred for perceived sins against god (the crusades).
Thank you for all the explanations! I'm still reading through it but wanted to thank ya before I forget haha. I really appreciate it!
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyalso to add onto the warp and afterlife part.
Since the warp is part of your conscience and belief, it can also somewhat shape your experience after death - of course this belief itself needs to be inviolable and unshakeable, but those who truly believed in the emperor with zero doubt throughout their life whatsoever, may or may not live in afterlife under the emperor's light.
Of course, this is actually rather ambiguous in 40k and never truly explained, merely eluded to.
The cenobite theme is very strong with the Haemonculus Covens, a sub group of the Dark Eldar. They take torture to the degree you expect and beyond. I highly reccomend the Drukhari Covens video by Baldermort. It paints the picture for the Haemonculus and how they see themselves in this universe very, very well.
Prince is kind of a gender neutral term, which is why it's used for Slaanesh, in the same capacity as it is used for the local leader of vampire society in the World of Darkness regardless of their gender.
Oh I had no idea! Well I learned even more
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyyeah prince originally comes from princeps, which just means leader in Latin. It was later that it was associated with male descendants of monarchs or rulers of principalities.
Princeps is also used on its own in 40k, it is the title given to a pilot of an imperial titan, also called god-machines, each one strong enough to win wars on their own.
Also to the slenesh question about the cool breeze and feeling the sun and food. That part represents other species since all emotion goes into the warp
For Conrad Curze, think of Batman but without *any* of the ethics.
Batman punisher and about a half-dozen slasher villains.
Oh...OH NO!
Bricky's video was, I believe, done when Tau Empire was relatively new in Warhammer 40K. And many players complained that Tau are too good and doesn't fit the Wahrammer. So later Games Workpshop made some changes.
It was revealed in lore than Imperium of Man was concerned with the Tau and made some research. And what they found is that different factions of the Tau only coexist when one of The Ethereals is around. As soon as they are left by themselves - they fight each other once more.
So The Greater Good is merely a psychological trick to brainwash all those factions into being slaves to The Ethereals. In that aspect The Tau are, maybe, the worst kind of evil. They enslave you without you even realizing that you are a slave.
The Empire of Man's stance on this is that if you are to be enslaved - it's actually better if you *KNOW* you are enslaved rather than being brainwashed.
Horus is probably just named after the Egyptian god Horus. He has a bit of an eye motif which is fitting if you know about Horus' mythology.
18:15 It’s because the more extreme emotions give them more “food” and power, so they encourage more of that. Plus, they are what they eat.
Ah yes. One of my favorite fantasy races. *BDSM* *ELVES*
They ain't bad to look at hehe
The War in Heaven between the Necrons and the Old ones is most likely what spawned the first 3 Chaos Gods with Slanesh coming later. The Old Ones were Pyskers and abused the warp, basically turning it into space Hell. Bricky also has a 40k podcast called Adeptus Ridiculous that goes into this stuff more with a buddy of his and it's actually quite entertaining.
I highly suggest you watch his video about of the 18 legions and they're primarchs.
He goes into all of them and explains why Konrad and his legion are sick scum.
The Tau actually have splinter faction that Bricky didn't bring up called the Farsight Enclaves lead by Commander Farsight (who has a new model) and is probably the coolest Tau Character... A Badass General in a Mech Suit with a Ancient Alien Sword that steals the lifespan of those he kills.
Okay here's how it works with chaos and the chaos Space Marines and how it works with killing them okay. With chaos Space Marines you can kill them you can keep killing them as many times as you want and they will stay dead. However if they ascend to demon Hood been that gets a little complicated. Like the demon primark's they can't be killed they can be banished but eventually sometime at some point they will return because they ascended to demon Prince hood or demon Hood in general. So killing a demon doesn't necessarily mean that they'll go away forever you just banish them and eventually they will come back. If they're just a normal chaos Space Marine with the blessing of one of the chaos Gods you can kill them and they won't come back because they didn't ascend.
Now you probably wondering how do they recruit will they General conversion they generally capture Space Marines and convert them to chaos but. Space Marines in general with gene seed they have a progenitor gland these progenitor glands literally make new gene seed they just Harvest them from the Space Marines every 10 years. So that they can make new Space Marines with chaos Space Marines their Gene seed are corrupted by chaos so it's very hard to you know make more. Chaos Space Marines a group of chaos Space Marines the iron Warriors tried to get around this problem. It's a subject that we don't talk about that's the one rule about Warhammer we don't talk about this subject at all the daemonculaba we do not talk about this subject that's the one rule that most Warhammer people have agreed on we don't talk about it
Oh so they can also make more, idk why I didn't think that was an option lol
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy like I said they tried with the demonculaba something we don't talk about but generally they just convert others to chaos.
There are many planets in the warp (Eye of Terror) and they are populated by humans and space marines. Some chaos champions will be given a planet to rule as a reward for their service
Demon can't be copyrighted
Daemon can
That is literaly it, you will notice this with a lot of things regarding Games Workshop
Daemon was the greek word from which the term demon comes from
Also in greek mythology daemons were emissaries of the gods, which fits 40ks depiction
Oh wow, that makes sense but idk how to feel about that lol
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy they literally tried to copywrite the words space marine.
On the question of why slannesh is the prince of pleasure. The chaos gods have no true physical form they can be and look how ever they please. Khorn may look like a giant dude on a mountain of skulls but really it’s just how his worshippers choose to see him.
honestly the best description of the warp is by magnus from the tts series
"Every single thought or feeling you've ever had both consciously and subconsciously becomes reality in the warp. Every single human emotion becomes a power, every single metaphor becomes a literal meaning, everyones wish's, dreams, desires, fears, nightmares are incarnated, which is why the warp is so corrosive and horrifying since so many conflicting and contradicting ideas are floating around inside of it.
and the 'GODS; in fact are collective subconscious constructs that that reflect mental crucial aspects of ALL life, Daemons are shards of their respective god, much like individual cells make up an organism.
And something people seem to forget is that these god represent ALL thoughts and emption, the good, the bad and the ugly
for example Tzeentch may be a cruel and devious trickster but he's also a force of progress and a beacon of hope. change after all is neither innately benevolent or malevolent, but it sure isnt as shitterling isnt the same as it was before. Without tzeentch there would be no malicious schemes but there would also be no one clever enough to save people from those schemes. nothing would ever get done we would fall into an eternal stasis of static karma and THAT is what nurgle represents: stagnancy.
A lack of change. Inevitable eternal cycles of decay and renewal, but he also represents the resolve, resilience and solidarity to face those same, unsettling inevitabilities. without nurgle there will be no consistency , safety, or comfort in living or dying. infact there would be no consistency at all, and All those cycles of decay and renewal are just the circle of life. Infact nurgle is technically nature incarnate
Khorne may be a merciless, mindless slaughter and hatered but thats because he proscibes to another natural concept, survival of the fittest, strength and skill are all that matters to him. He also represents justice, vengeance and honour, so unlike the others khorne would never try to trick you or stab you in the back. Without him there would be no honesty, and no strength to fight against injustice, and speaking of injustice; slaanesh may be a horrifying, cruel, torturous fiend that breaks minds and inflicts untold suffering but he... she.. it, also exudes just as much joy, freedom expression and happiness, its ironic yet it makes sense.
Slaanesh was formed from the extremes of emotional experience, representing both joyful freedom, as well as crippling suffering.
Without slaanesh there would be no happiness and no grief to make the happy times MEAN anything"
that took me a good long while lmao. enjoy!
You were wondering if the Tyranids had already consumed the rest of the galaxy, and if the Milky Way was just their final buffet.
While that is certainly a possibility and how a lot of the fandom used to think, more recent editions of the game have given hints of something much more terrifying: the Tyranid Hive Fleets could be FLEEING from something and we just happened to be in their way; just a way for them to replenish their biomass as if our galaxy was an intergalactic fast food rest stop.
What in the Emperor's name could be out there that has even a galactic-scale hive-mind locust swarm running scared?
1:02:30 Eldar gods do exist but like 90% of them are imprisoned by slaanesh
Rave: You can kill all Chaos Space Marines
