An Ork ship got damaged during travel across the galaxy. They stopped and sent some boys out to fix the hull of the ship. It was going quite well, but then another Ork ship came around and sent their own boys to help out. Upon first meeting, the conversation went something along like this: "OI WHYZ YOUZ GITS 'AVE THOSE BITS ON YA FACE?" "WOT U MEAN? WE NEEDS 'EM CUZZ NO AIR'S IN SPACE" "WOT-" Thus, all the Orks fixing the hull died, as they realized they weren't breathing. Orks are DA BEST! Truly, my favourite faction in W40k.
@@dustinbragg1921 WOT? STUPID GIT! YA DON'T NEED AIR TO TALK, JUST YA MOUTH! 'N IF YA WANT DA OTHER GIT TO HEAR YA, THEY JUST NEED EARS. IZ BASIC SCIENZE! I THOUGHT YOU HUMIES 'RE SUPPOSE' TA BE DA SMART 'UNS! Which is basically my headcanon as to why they can still talk in the vacuum of space, and honestly it makes logical sense. For the Orks, I mean.
IMO, one of the most fun ways that Orks were written as a species with not just an alien culture but an alien _psychology,_ is that while they don't understand the concept of "friendship", they _DO_ have a concept of "favorite enemy". If you give an Ork a _really_ good fight, instead of fighting to the death, they may retreat or allow you to retreat _so they can fight you again later_ - even going as far as to make plans with their "enemy" to meet up on a certain planet at a certain time to fight some more. After all, "it's not retreatin' if we comes back for anovver go!"
@@Dokari-l9mdon't the handful of orks that fall to chaos get waxed pretty quickly by the other orks for not being orky enough? The only orks I'm aware of that live in the warp is Tuska(? Maybe)s warband that invaded the eye of terror. But I don't know the details involved in that affair.
@@L3ttuc3 it was tusks demon killa, he jumped into the warp because he found out demons are some good fighting. And I don’t think orks fall to chaos, because they have their own gods and need nothing from the other chaos gods. I think you are thinking genestealers when you say they aren’t orky enough. I was implying that ghaz would invade khornes realm to kill Angron
@@demonwolf5553If you’re lucky they kill you by very inventive torture, maybe they bring you back to life to continue the torture. If you’re unlucky they turn you into living furniture. Like, you are skinned and made into a chair or refashioned into an abstract statue, and you’re still alive and conscious forever because they made you immortal.
The Trazyn bit you were reading is really wordy, but it sums up his personality pretty well. To summarize what was written, basically Trazyn captured a bunch of soldiers, someone of high rank noticed, and they sent more soldiers to get them back. Trazyn just captured them too. Then he sent a message saying "oh, thank you for noticing my collection was incomplete and sending me more of your men to fill out the display! How generous! Here's a trap as thanks-" Basically Trazyn is 40Ks greatest troll, but also it's greatest historian. We all joke that he's a kleptomaniac, but he genuinely cares about documenting history. He's an immortal, after all. He has plenty of time to tell it. I want to reccomend "EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Trazyn the Infinite" by Isyander and Koda. I'm not sure how well their format would work with reaction streaming, but even if you don't make a vid of it, watch it for fun. It's a good breakdown of his character and it's hilarious.
The thing about Nurgle demons is they don’t see their plagues are bad but as gifts. The Grandfather (a name for Nurgle) removes the pain his plagues cause on those who follow him
Nurgle loves you for existing, and he loves the cancer in your body. What if you don’t die from it? Or you just constantly resurrect? No problem anymore. How about you feed it? And the flies in your new walking corpse? They can help you with stuff. They can be your friends. You can become a big happy family. Don’t you want others to be happy too? You have to spread this beauty! And then you can chill with those people and their tumors and bugs too! And you can spread happiness together! Nurgle is wholesome in a fucked up way and one of the better fates in 40K. Bricky kinda undersold.
@@requiemlul3140that is true that is why if I would worship a chaos god if would be nurgle because it will be pain in the beginning but it will feel great at the end compared to losing your mind by khorne,your boss can do anything to you even bad things if you do a good job tzeench,and just tons of emotion and too much if it by sleenesh
@@Vipertheskylord Warrior that worshipped Khorne eventually lost themselves in the madness of war. Only a few remain sane. Kharn the betrayer have to count every enemies he killed to not lose himself to the endless battles like his father did.
@@usernamealreadytaken9330 which is why I said lose my mind because only a few remain a little sane a tiny little part but most just lose their minds to the combat
Course as soon as they get cut off from the Warp and Nurgle they immediately become horrified of what they become until the quickly die from all the diseases and what would happen when you have your intestines out of your body like that.
Will always describe Nurgle as the ultimate abusive relationship. He will make you sick, put you on deaths door, make you beg for death, and then he will offer you freedom and all you have to do is rely and trust him wholly, but only if you behave and do as you’re told.
Yeah he is basically running a protection racket lmao. It’s basically “you better worship me and spread my plague or else you might just become maggot food.” Now I’m imagining nurgle but with an Italian-American accent like from the movies.
I just noticed that the chaos gods are basically an old cartoon protagonist group. They have the strong one, the smart one, the overweight one and the hot one.
Yes! We have the Main Character one! The smart one! The funny one! And girl! That's basically Shaolin Showdown in a nutshell. Edit: Khorn is Fred, Tzeench is Velma, Nurgle is Shaggy, and Slaanesh is Daphne.
I play TTRPGs, and I noticed that of all the 40k RPG systems, the one that feels the closest to D&D is Black Crusade, where player characters are Chaos-aligned heretics. Because in other 40k systems the players are constrained by the fact that they are loyal Imperial servants, or at least pretend to be. Whereas in Black Crusade they can rather freely hunt for "magical" artifacts, cast "spells", seek for more power, choose "gods" to worship and make deals with demons. All the usual fantasy stuff. Yes, they kind of have to be more evil than a typical D&D party, but that goes for any 40k roleplay.
22:00 the reason why the chaos gods are always awful in the lore is because if you remember the war in heaven, so much negativity, pain and suffering was brought to the warp in such a short period of time that evil overwhelmed everything else and the warp was tainted, and even after the war ended there was still suffering and pain brought by the eldar in their excess, there might have been versions of nurgle, khorn and tzeench that were more nuetral, that better represented both sides of them selves but we might never get to see these versions of them.
Important sidenote, Bricky did this video prior to reading "The Infinite and The Divine" and "Twice Dead King," which are downright overburdened with necron lore dumps, like: 1) context for how genuinely desperate the necrontyr were for immortality 2) the way necrons- as imortals- do not process time like mortals, EG having an opera that is literally 10+ years straight with only a one-year intermission 3) the fact that necrons are genuinely terrified of the mental illnesses that linger even after their biotransference, and most are neurotic messes. Also, it's a source of endless joy to me that the aliens in 40K are ALIEN, not just in biology but in how they THINK. It's not just a cultural difference. Additional footnote... this also predates the release of the Leagues of Votann, who are a neohuman faction that disguise themselves as xenos and culturally are space dwarves.
The eldar used to have an entire pantheon pre Slaanesh was born. When Slaanesh was born she killed all but three of them, Cegorach escaped and hid in the Black Library. Isha, their goddess of life was captured by Nurgle so he could test his plagues on her. And Khaine, their god of war was shattered during his duel with Slaanesh after Khorne intervened and his fragments were scattered throughout the galaxy
1:15:04 I am amazed how with zero knowledge on the tyranids, nux instantly grasped the scope of the threat they pose off quite limited info, even (probably correctly) surmising that these fleets may well be just scouting parties. Man's a genius
Fun fact: There is a reason Necrons started to show character and diplomacey and that reason are Tyranids. Necrons were mostly considered the the native counter to the Tyranid invasion since they are no food and a battle against the Necs always ends in loss of biomass even if the Nids win. BUT... MASSIVE BUT! The Nids are evolving to counter that problem, and they tested it on Chaos first. Hivefleet Kronos is now actively hunting Demons wich they cant consume either because they just pop out of existance. They are not biological. Yet Kronos evolved to hunt them down. They get fed by Leviathan as some sort of special arm of the swarm. They don't serve the purpose anymore to feed but to extinct incosumable threats. From there it's just a tiny adaptation to fighting the Necrons, even tho the Necs are a whole different league towards the nids. But they adapt!
Fun fact: there is supposedly a fifth chaos god named Malal, however it's still unknown whether or not he's actually Cannon now or still stuck in copyright hell.
@@royalripper7453 thank you, all I remembered was that Malal what's a controversial character to talk about because of copyright infringement, I completely forgot that Malal was replaced with a lesser character.
even scarier than tyranids is the fact that when a hive fleet passed through the ghoul stars and came out weird and since then tyranids have avoided the ghoul stars because something spooked the hivemind
is this newer lore? i havent been keeping up with it in years, and when i was all in it, i played tyranids n knew there lore, and this wasnt a thing back then
@@HJ10 Ye. To be fair, whatever is going on in the ghoul stars also spooks Chaos Daemons too. There's also that Pale Wasting thing that happened in M34 and of the 12 chapters that participated only the the Novamarines survived. And the only marines that operate there are the Death Spectres, the Carcharodons Astra (Space Sharks), some warbands of Renegade Astartes that roam the area with somewhat respectful relations with the mentioned Chapters, if only because both understand how much that area sucks and that bleeding each other because some decided to serve The Emperor in a way that got them Excomunicated by the Administratum is pointless. And the ocassional Chaos warband that ends up there and gets their power armored warp-tainted asses handed to them by marines or the sector's denizens.
The Orks were engineered before Khorne existed, and the Waagh reality-attenuation (cheat code) field also reroutes _most_ of the Ork psychic presence into Gork & Mork via the Weirdboys.
Nux is probably going to lose his goddamn mind when he starts delving into the abyss of lore and finds out more about how Chaos works, because it's kind of just perfect for him.
Yeah this is a very light/low depth review of the lore with a lot of context and detail removed and simplified to make things easier for the average person. I think Nux (personally) would of been better off with a more detailed lore breakdown/review as he is making some incorrect assumptions and is misunderstanding a few things, especially as of the End and the Death Vol 3 being released now, and the video being 4+ years old. - he has also fallen for some of the classic misunderstanding/joke memes, "Magnus did nothing wrong' is literally a joke rework of "Hitler did nothing wrong" as he demonstratively did almost everything possibly wrong..
Nux, There is one faction not spoken of because they are "New" and returning old faction the Voltom formally know as the squats. They have some pretty good lore as well. Also give Isyander & Koda a try, they are great for deep diving into everything
He didn't bring up my favorite facts about the orks. They reproduce by clouds of spores that release at their death, making them a fungus. Thats why they can act so dumb and fight literally everything all the time. Because when you fight them, if you don't scorch every battlefield they were on, then you'll just have to fight another crop of ork boyz in a couple of months. Another fact is that technically, the longevity of orks has never been tested. Its known they keep growing as they age and dont seem to have a foreseeable cap, but the fact that one of the oldest longest living orks is currently around 5 years old its hard to determine their full potentiol.
my favorite fact about Orks is their werid psychic abilities that makes their cobbled together BS worrk, or like how since they beileve red ones go faster, in the lore and in the game, painting their vehicles red literally makes them go faster n how humans have tried using ork weaponry and had...mixed results xD meaning thaat some weapons worked but some just do not and should not work, and they dont, unless an Ork is using it, n they make em work simply cuz they just BELIEVE it works, and so it does cuz there all at least a tiny bit psychic or something
A party of orks is currently having a good time back at Khorne's world, who knows? Maybe by now, those guys are thousands of years old due to dying and getting resurrected by Khorny Khorne flakes
Anyone who writes Orks and adds sexual innuendo to their banter outs themselves as a poser. Orks don't fuck, so anyone just copypasting human sex-creep talk is clearly just speaking for themselves, not the Orks.
@@JoshSweetvale look, im sorry but, unit u google Mexican Orcs, when u seem, even u will HAVE TO ADMIT "Oh no, yeah, those Mexican Orcs DEFINITELY FUCK" 😂 N Yeah yeah lol different Orcs, universe, lore, etc but u could drop a unit of those Mexican Orcs in 40k, and by days end, suddenly there will be a WAAAGGHHH! The likes of which have NEVER BEFORE been seen!...fn Mariachi Orks blaring out Los Tucanos, and all the Orks will have SOMEHOW grown mustaches and aquired sombreros for themselves and all their Stompss, which will have lost their giant chainsaws, which have been replaced by a Giant Chancla, and even tho none of the Orks have dicks, they will STILL keep on hip thrusting n making sexual innuendos all the way towards victory, n if they start loosing, then the oldest Ork in existence will come out to put the hurt on em, the legendary Warlord who rules all Ork kind...The Abulea Ork 😂
Their reproduction being through spores just like a fungus is also a great evolutionary reason to explain their low intelligence and high aggressiveness. Instead of rewarding members of the species for living longer, Ork reproduction rewards dying ASAP. Instead of evolution rewarding a tribe of intelligent creatures that slowly dominate their surroundings, Ork physiology rewards each wave of young venturing farther and dying in as great of numbers as possible. If such bio-physiology was possible on Earth, then such behavior would make complete sense.
Most people stop at Drukhari lore with the kidnapping, the torture stuff and the debauchery, but their society is so crazy and cool in ways. The three major sub-factions: the Kabals (most of the people that go out on raids to get slaves, but the Archons that lead the Kabals are most of the leaders and major players in Commorragh, their home city), the Wych Cults (all female mostly melee masters of gladiator combat using drugs to stimulate their skills they put on shows murdering slaves for the entertainment of others and the best are treated like how we treat high level pro athletes), and the Haemunculi Covens (perform tons of "experimentation" to create horrifying abominations, a lot of their tech, perfected cloning which is nearly impossible in 40k due to the issue of the soul and the warp). And these 3 factions work together because they need each other to put on successful raids and torture to keep Slaanesh away. But what's even cooler is the whole city is just an eternal game of thrones level of politics, backstabbing, coercion, etc. They have a unit called the Scourge which is a Drukhari that pays a ton of money to a Haemonculi to graft wings onto their back. Then if they survive the surgery they take all the new Scourge candidates up to the highest buildings in Commorragh and basically kick them over the edge. The ones that fly become the most protected people in the city as they are the only way people can send private messages with 100% security and the ones that don't fly plummet to their deaths and they start the process again. It's one of the smaller factions in 40k models wise but almost all of them ooze such a cool style if you're into them
Just started playing recently and was immediately drawn to the cool body horror aspects of the models, made me deep dive the lore of them and that's when I knew I made the right chose, I love the politics in their stories, I love the debauchery, but most of all I absolutly love the insane lore, I wasn't playing when the Mandrakes were a thing but damn I want some of them, I love the models.
@@Sepricotaku I was lucky enough to get a set of Mandrakes from the new Kill Team Nightmare set that I split with my CSM playing buddy. They are fantastic in 10th as screeners/objective players. Their lore of just being nightmare shadow creatures is amazing. Hands down my favorite models are the Incubi. I have 20 fully painted and their giant swords and cool armor is so much fun to paint. While they aren't as insane on the tabletop as they were in 9th the new detachment made them a lot better. Welcome to the Dark Kin! They are a hard army to play but are a lot of fun to kitbash and paint. Hoping they get more of the line in plastic over half the army is nearly impossible to get without 3D printing
@@johnj.spurgin7037 PREACH. Drukhari need so many models brought to plastic and could use more models. I'm really hoping we get Vect eventually since we don't have an Epic Hero for Kabals yet.

Not sure if it comes up in the video, but the Laughing God isn't the only Eldar pantheon member to survive. Nurgle rescued their health/medicine goddess from being eaten and keeps her in a cage in his garden
Just a heads up with the necrons that a lot of lore channels get wrong. The War in Heaven isn't really covered well by folks on UA-cam. The necrons are by far the strongest of the factions. The War in Heaven was won by the necrons. They fought the Old Ones, masters of the warp who are godlike beings that seed races and societies, and wiped them out. That's with the Eldar and Krorks fighting alongside them. They then turned on the C'tan that enslaved them, Godlike beings and masters of the real world. Shattered and enslaved their masters. With the Eldar and Krorks hounding the boundaries of their armies. That is 2 godlike beings exterminated back to back in the same war. During this time, they are building the means to seal the warp away. By the end of this conflict they were to exhausted to fight of the rising Eldar and the rampaging Krork. So they slept, knowing that the Eldar will destroy themselves and the Krork will devolve without an enemy to fight. They were right.
Necrons being the strongest is a heavily subjective claim, but only because trying to define the strongest in Warhammer is ludicrous. Every faction has their outrageous feats of badass. I'm biased saying this, I will openly admit, but I will say that on a one-to-one fight against the Tyranids, the Tyranids would utterly crush the Necrons. Tyranids would be greatly wounded, but their sheer numbers renders them practically unstoppable even against Necrons.
The Aeldari and Krork were starting to push the Necrons back, but if things were allowed to pan out naturally, the Necrons would have finished the Null array and cut the Warp off from the galaxy, severely mitigating the power potential of their enemies and a lot of the collateral damage from the War (Enslaver plague, proto-daemons, Warp Storms, etc etc). The only reason they DIDN'T win is that they shot themselves in the foot in order to stop all life in existence from being eaten by the C'tan, since Szarekh wanted to undo the Biotransferrence and needed lifeforms to do that.
@@Red-Check-Mark Bias is noted and I appreciate that you would admit it. I love a good debate, so les'go. Out the gate. I favor the Orks and understand my favorite faction is the colloquially known punching bag of the setting. That said, the Necrons are a hard counter to every facet of the Tyranids. Their troopers have weaponry that never runs out of ammunition and leave behind nothing after impact. Everything they have with the exception of the tesla weaponry will shred any armored bioform. This is before considering the C'tan shards they have at their disposal. Their bodies provide no nourishment for the Tyranid host so the battle is a net loss on all levels in terms of biomass. Not to mention that their basic trooper will ressurect after falling. I will concede that recently, rumors have circulated that there is a spinter fleet that can eat necrodermis. Though, if that is true, I bet it's due to GamesWorkshop not wanting to have their newest force immediately shut down. Moreover, Tyranids cannot fight them on anywhere near equal footing in void combat, which is where the majority of those fight would take place. This is because they are most vulnerable when traveling between planets. Remember most of their biomass reserves are inert in transit. Additionally, most of their bioforms need atmosphere to function. Necron ships do not have atmosphere, making boarding attempts a viciously uphill battle. The only units that pose a genuine threat are the psykers like the zoanthrope and the neurothrope, (I think that is what it's called). But the Shadow in the Wapr has no effect on Necrons. Communication and interstellar travel is still possible for them when Tyranids show up, making flanking maneuvers possible in fleet to fleet battles. The only reason that Tyranids have the numbers advantage is because GW will never allow the Necron Tombworlds to awaken in the lore. So they are stuck with a fraction of their full power at all times. Remember... all bias aside. The Necrons were THE boogeyman of the setting before their lore was updated. There is a solid, factual foundation of evidence why they are the strongest.
@fadelsukoco3092 I dunno if I would consider that shooting oneself in the foot. It was necessary. The Cryptek's predicted what would happen after the conflict and deemed the outcome acceptable.
@@nathanbrown8196 I will happily debate ya! I will go through everything you said, but I do what to circle back to point out a few things from your first comment that you had posted. I am not trying to sound rude or like an asshole for saying this, so please do not take this in that way, but you are making it sound like the War in Heaven was a spring breeze with the Necrons. "The War in Heaven was won by the necrons."
My friend: why do you love Khorne? Me; 16:55 describes it really well. Friend: but what if you try to betray him? Me: as long as you’re up front about it and come straight at him then he’ll be happy. Just don’t pull a Skarbrand (I think that was the name of the demon that stabbed Khorne in the back) moment
Here’s another Ork story told by Bricky: A bunch of imperial guardsmen utterly surrounded by Orks run out of ammunition for their Lazguns. The commander gets an idea; he points his gun at an ork and goes “BANG!”. The Ork, thinking he still has ammo, falls over dead. His company follow suit with the same results. Eventually a group of orks start coming over the hill, not dying despite being ‘shot’ so many times. And as they get closer the guardsmen hear “I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK!”
or how another time the rolled down the windows of ther spaceship to shoot the imperial ship, and they were able to breath in space up until the imperial ship asked them how were they breathing in space, which made the orks realize they were in space and INSTANTLY ALL SUFFOCATED 🤣
Fun Lore Tidbit: There’s an Eldar sub faction Bricky didn’t cover here called The Exodites. Their response to the birth of Slaanesh was to stop using Technology and live modest forest lives on feral worlds practicing Druidism and riding dinosaurs like old school fantasy elves. It’s funny because they’re basically a 65 million year old Galaxy spanning superpowers version of The Amish.
So the Ork technology running on imagination thing is actually just a meme. The real joke is that humans are so technologically backwards that Orks know more about engineering than them. To a tech priest that only knows how to build something from blueprints and doesn’t actually know how it works, Ork tech is magic.
I've got a fun story about the Orks. They are one of the top contenders of winning 40k, if there was a way to win. (They are the only faction that can take out Necron tomb worlds.) And yeah, its a pretty funny story about why even Chaos fears the orks. Commissar Yarrick, or Old Bale Eye as known by the orks, was a human Commissar on Armageddon and leader of the forces there. He'd often fight the orks head to head, going into the green hordes himself. He was probably the best expert on Orks of the entire Empire, and made his cybernetics much like Orks did. They didn't work very well... unless he was fighting Orks at which point they became insanely strong. He soon made a name for himself fighting the ork hordes to the point the orks thought he was unkillable and insanely strong for a human, which wasn't a part of his plan at first, but he used that to become a walking god among the battlefield when fighting Orks specifically (Since Orks belief becomes reality, and they thought he was unkillable, so he became unkillable while fighting them.). The Orks loved fighting him so much they revered him, something Orks don't usually do for non orks. This was because he'd often give them the biggest battles with him and his soldiers, and orks loved that. Plus he constantly was at war with the biggest Ork boss, Ghazghkull. (Ghazghkull is the prophet of Gork and Mork, or basically the ork pope.) who declared Yarrick his rival. One day, he was taken out, not by orks, but by Angron. The Orks and Ghazghkull learned about this and were SAD. Orks don't get sad, they are happy go lucky. They then got ANGRY, because some demon took out Old Bale Eye, who they coudn't do anything about and Ghazghkull mourned the loss of... before declaring revenge. And for once, Orks, who normally never cared about who they fought, who had no inclination of grief or vengence... were now angry and out for revenge. And their target was Angron; who is now hiding and absoltely crapping himself because he earned the ire of basically the entire Ork race, something NO ONE, not even the necrons or eldari or anyone, had managed to do. Even Korhn looked at him and said. "You F'ed up buddy. You F'ed up bad" and is also a bit unnerved and scared of what is to come. The Orks can easily take out Angron, then go to his respawn point in the warp and camp him for all eternity and Khorn will not save him, out of fear of reprisal from the Orks. Not entertainment, but fear. The reason even Khorn is worried? Gork and Mork are the strongest gods in the 40k universe by a wide, WIDE margin. They only fight each other because their opposite is the only one strong enough to fight. Once, and only once, all 4 chaos gods tried to attack Mork. Mork turned around for a second and casually backhanded all 4 of them at once, sending them scurrying in fear heavily injured, before going back to fighting Gork. They didn't even manage to hurt Mork at all with this ambush, thats how strong the Ork gods are. In fact, they are the natural disasters of the warp, their fight is like a tornado no one can stop, and all you can do is get out of their way and pick up the pieces when they leave. And this is a huge reason Khorn is a bit scared himself since the ork pope hates Angron and might hate him in return, and he is worried Gork and Mork might look his way and just turn him into paste with a single blow if that happens.
Except 100% of this is fan nonsense. Ork belief did not make Yarrick unkillable. There is no confirmation that Yarrick was killed by Angron (but...but heavily implied! No. Fuck that.) Yarrick was even refusing most rejuvenates. He could've just died of old age. Not to mention Yarrick wasn't even on Armageddon at the time. He was chasing after Ghaz. Neither Angron or the World Eaters are mentioned once in the Ork codex. Similarly, neither Ghaz or Yarrick or even Armageddon are mentioned in the World Eater codex. Angron manifested out of the warp on the Conqueror. The entire feud between Ghazghkull and Angron came from nothing.
Khorne *opening his door to see both Gork and Mork*: "Oh hey guys. Nice to see some fellow war gods besides Khaine." Gork and Mork:.... Khorne: "Um, uh, that's a, that's weird. You're normally much louder. And arguing when not fighting." Gork and Mork:..... Khorne: "Is this about Tuska? I mean, I thought you'd be perfectly fine with him staying on one of my Daemon Worlds for eternity but if you want him back in the materium I guess I could always just-" Gork: "Old Bale eye" Mork: "Wasn't Angron's to take" Khorne *closing and locking door*: "Ah shit, ah shit, ah fuck. Angron! Angron!! The fuck Angron?!?!?"
That lore dive on Angron missed the darkest part: the person he refused to kill was his (adopted) father, since they were the only two left standing at the end of a giant melee. As punishment, they both got the butcher's nails implanted and were sent back in to fight each other. Only one can leave the fighting pits.
No, it’s still isn’t the darkest part. Every Primarch represents some aspect of Emperor, some are more obvious then other, like lorgar being his passion, conviction, Magnus - his unrestrained psychic might, perturabo- his engineering ability and calculation and genius, et cetera Yet Angron, despite being perceived as his butcher, executioner and rage was never meant to be. His aspect was MERCY. He is insanely powerful empath, he took pain and suffering of other people onto himself, thus healing them. Nails not only crippled him, they also locked him out of helping others, and made him inflict pain on them, which he feels. Angron, uncorrupted by nails could save some other Primarchs from their pitfalls, like Kurze, Dorn, Perturabo, Magnus,Lorgar and Lion, He could be the one to prevent the heresy altogether. And this is dark. Turning a saviour, a gift of kindness and hope into a twisted mockery of itself, able to give mercy only by killing quick. And suffering for it himself.
1:39:27 yes, because the Adeptus Mechanicus were actively searching for Golden Age era tech of the Imperium. And ofc, 1 of their site discovered a Necron Toomb and accidentaly woke them up when they fucked around. Safe to say that Nuxanor is a full Necron fan and a tad bit of Chaos fan as well.
Here's a fun tidbit and theory for you: The warp reflects the beliefs and emotions of mortal souls. The chaos gods became violent and evil during the War In Heaven between the Necrons and the Old Ones, twisted by the millions of years of violence and atrocities across the entire galaxy. The Emperor's Great Crusade sought to stamp out religion, because religious belief fuels the chaos entities. Remove belief and replace with logic and reason and in theory you could kill the chaos gods. It's part of what makes the Imperial cult worshiping the Emperor all the more ironic. The Necrons sought to seal the warp using their Blackstone technologies, but ran out of time / resources before they could finish and went to sleep to try to finish the job later when they woke up. It is unclear just how well it works on the whole, but it does have a very real effect and is another example of a race trying to stop Chaos on a grand scale. The Tyranids devour all life to make more 'nids with their collective hive mind suppressing the warp. I think it is not far-fetched to think they may be the result of similar anti-chaos works in another galaxy. Kill all the bio-mass = no more souls to fuel chaos, while building up their own quasi-deity hive mind by making ever more nids. I think the bugs are just an alien bio-weapon in it's end-stages and the Milky Way galaxy is just next on the munching list. Think of them kind of like the Reapers from Mass Effect or the Rings from Halo; Wipe out life to stop something worse that feeds on it.
The irony of the worship of the Emperor gets even darker when you look at the beliefs a certain Khorne cult called the "Blood Pact" of the Sabbat worlds. Unlike most other Chaos Cultists, they don't see him as the "Anathema" or the great enemy of Chaos. To them, he's just a new Chaos God who has yet to be truly born, gestating in the corpse that sits on the Golden Throne. Given how the Warp works, they might not be wrong.
I don't believe Nids are anyone's creation really, to me it feels better if they're natural born entities. They just spawned as nature's last attempt at nuking Chaos before it'll overtake everything. Tho with chaos demons not giving Nids biomass, demons feels like one of the only true Nid predators, next to Necrons who also has no Biomass, but who also dislike Nids for stealing the future of them being organic once more. I find it kinda funny that those three have seemingly no interactions, but also counter each other the best of every faction available
@@Rukdug I think there was something semi-recently about the emperor almost becoming a Chaos God before confronting Horus, where he unbound his power temporarily and all the custodes in his presence immediately withered and died. I forget the name but it was something like The Dark King.
Bricky missed a very important aspect of the Genestealers. When the cult is large enough they become a psychic beacon that draws Tyranid swarms to the plant. The swarms basically shoot out Genestealer spores everywhere at all times as a seeking mechanism. A world gets infected, the cult spreads and bam, swarm of apex predator hungry bugs knows where to go next.
@@luizaquerubin Good towards loyal humans. Besides memes and stuff, none of them has a moral issue of genociding xenos or (believed) traitors. Not even Vulkan.
I love that the Eldari got so fucked up, that they wiped out 90% of their race and birthed a new Chaos god….then half said, “Yeah, let’s maybe not be so fucked up, so we can keep our souls.” And the other half said, “fuck ‘em, might as well”
Slaneesh isn't about pleasure or pain, they are about experience. An unyielding desire to reject the normal. Diving into the deepest fears, the highest pleasures, the worst heartbreak, all are fascinating experiences of their own right that must be pursued. All of existence must be experienced and when things to experience run out, new experiences must be created. They are not just deviants but creators, artists, inventors. It's interesting to note that she probably has the best relationship out of the other chaos gods with Tzeentch, master of change.
The imperium's first major fight with the tau had imperium ships landing, guys start getting out and IMMEDIATELY they start getting rapid sniped from 100 miles away or some shit
11:20 who's going to break it to Nux that the average Warhammer fans pushing 40 with a good enough job to afford to spend hundreds of dollars in plastic sculpts and model paints on a regular basis, lol.
Seeing nux in real time invent lore then buy into it and use that to explain other lore is both depressing and hilarious. He's going to be so confused when he starts reading lol
Nux, if you like Orks so much, here are some fun lore tidbits that I particularly love: -They can increase the firerate of any given weapon simply by yelling "dakka dakka" while shooting. -There's a Commissar named Sebastian Yarrick, who is the only human that any Ork truly fears. He got his arm ripped off during a fight so he picked up a Power Klaw off a dead Ork and just put it in his shoulder to use as his new arm and kept fighting. This display of sheer badassery has led some Orks believe he can kill them just by looking at them. And so he can. Once the Imperium learned of this, they gave him a cybernetic augmentation that replaced his eye with a tiny lazgun. -There's an Ork Warboss called Tuska the Daemon Killa. Normally, the Orks have no connection to the Warp but Tuska found out that Daemons live there and thought it would be a good fight. So he gathered his boyz, flew straight into the eye of terror, and got merced immediately. Tuska fought to his last breath, dismayed by the sudden deaths of his entire army. Khorne was so impressed by this that he resurrected the Orks just to let them fight more Daemons, getting stronger and more ready every time. Basically, they found Valhalla so they're the only concious beings in the 40k universe who got any sort of Good Ending. -This last one is my personal favorite but I'm not entirely sure if it's canon: There's an Ork who tried to leave a planet in search of a fight and somehow got lost in the Warp. Time works differently in the Warp so he arrived before he had left. So he found his past self and killed him just so he can have two of his favorite gun.
Orks get bigger the more they fight and they get smarter the bigger they are. When the Necrons disappeared the Krorks ran out of people to fight so they just got dumber over time
One important thing about chaos gods is that they all absolutely despise all other chaos gods and have at least one inconsolable opposite to every other chais god. They fight amongst each other just as much if not more than with anyone else. And the only reason neither of them has won is because when one of them gets too powerful the rest allies against them and pull them down again. That on the other hand puts all of them allying against the emperor once he started to grow in power into perspective... Just how much of a human is he really... Maybe he is a chaos god of order...
I think the problems alot of people have for the Tau are overstated. They seem like they don't fit because they aren't meant to. They aren't meant to be a successful force, the whole point is that they are naive. It's like looking at the imperium before the age of strife and saying that it doesn't fit the grimdark nature of 40k. They exist in a place in time within the universe. They are a new and hopeful faction, they haven't had time to be ripped apart and beaten down into the dark hopeless struggle for survival that the rest of the mortal factions have. Their story isn't about them successfully uniting against their foes under one big wholesome family banner, it's a strory of them trying that and facing the brutal consequences of their naivete. If there is ever a Warhammer 50k the Tau will be either completely corrupted and destroyed or it will be forced to devolve into another imperium.
About your ork warp channeling question, I gotta level with you, yes and no, yes there is indeed a small effect from their belief, and the more orks are together the more these effects become apparent, but the knowledge orks have to build and use their tech is ingrained in their dna, they were made by the old ones to be the ultimate warriors, fast producing and growing stronger through warfare. the meme however has become almost canon in the eyes of many and now many people truly believe that orcish belief works this way
The tau / dark eldar cultural exchange was wild. Tau and dark eldar exchanged a bunch of people and later on the tau got into a fight and the dark eldar came to help with these massive mutant monsters after the fight the tau realized the monsters used to be the people they sent to them lol
Who's gonna tell him about lutin09 , if nux starts watching his 40k videos he will be stuck to the screen for the next 40 years ,binging lutins lore videos that go into detail on every little thing that's Warhammer. For lutin is the loremaster himself
Then you realize even someone like Luetin barely ever touched upon the xenos. Goes to show despite how long warhammer 40k has gone, the lore is still very very very lopsided toward imperium side.
@@giannicolamatteo8155 it's not 'in general' any more than it is 'mostly'. 'Relatively small' is if you want to be polite and don't want to say 'scarce', as the real comparison is probably closer to 50:1. The gap is probably even wider if counting the total. Have a watch on Poorhammer's video when they make tierlist on factions' lores. You'll realize how grossly rare novels/stories for factions outside of space marine and imperial guards really are.
There is a funny story about orcs. Once a platoon of guardsman were deep in orc territory, but they ran out of ammo. They had no way to get more ammo so they just started pointing their guns and yelling BANG! Surprisingly it worked. They killed many orcs like this. But one small group of orcs were immune to this. When the orcs got closer the guardsmen heard the orcs repeating "I'm a tank. I'm a tank. I'm a tank" over and over again.
After nux first Warhammer video i started getting random cutscenes in my feed. Now im hooked on the lore. Not enough to empty my bank account on models, but great lore.
I love the idea of the silent king being such because while he was conscious for that whole time, he was silent and acted as the puppet biding his time
I love how the extremists of modern day map so cleanly to chaos cults. It makes it hilariously easy to reject their position. Truly I am armored in contempt. A war eternal is better than their faux utopia.
Isander and Koda's episode on the Genesteeler cult made me realize how funny they are. A cult having to defend an imperium world against whatever so that the hive fleet that may never show up has something to eat, but also have to feign imperium level incompetence so they aren't discovered.
Orks acrually dont rely on the warp. The old ones created them to be able to essentially warp reality with collective thought process. The more orks that believe something the more real it becomes. Its awesome 😂
1:07:00 - GIVE THIS MAN A PhD! That's why 40k lore was written for like 35-40 years. Such a pleasure to see a smart neophyte coming to such deep understanding of the universe and doing it on a fly/improvising.
Khorne has a bit more to him. -Like he will not lie to you. So any deals made with him or his demons they will uphold. -absolutely HATES psyker/warpy powers used for "direct" combat!!! Tolerates them for utility like transporting between worlds, but not in battle. Sees as cheatimg and making the glorious fighting into cheap and hollow victory if such powers were used. -While he realy loves the Beserking FURY! He values those with tactical and strategic minds. Something that a lot of fans of 40k forget at times. (He just doesn't like over planning/thinking that say a certain god of change does like.)
Nux should really go the distance and get the chaos started tattooed on himself. Always been fascinated with the simple design but deep meaning behind it.

"Trayzn, our ship is a total vacuum. Do orcs breathe?"
"...They have lungs."
"That's not what I asked you."
I love that exchange between Trazyn and Orikan
:D I listened to the audio book. The reader delivered those lines sooooo good!
An Ork ship got damaged during travel across the galaxy. They stopped and sent some boys out to fix the hull of the ship. It was going quite well, but then another Ork ship came around and sent their own boys to help out.
Upon first meeting, the conversation went something along like this:
"OI WHYZ YOUZ GITS 'AVE THOSE BITS ON YA FACE?"
"WOT U MEAN? WE NEEDS 'EM CUZZ NO AIR'S IN SPACE"
"WOT-"
Thus, all the Orks fixing the hull died, as they realized they weren't breathing.
Orks are DA BEST! Truly, my favourite faction in W40k.
@@jocosesonata
The funniest thing in that exchange is that they knew they needed air to breathe, but they were still _audibly talking_ in a vacuum.
@@dustinbragg1921
WOT? STUPID GIT! YA DON'T NEED AIR TO TALK, JUST YA MOUTH! 'N IF YA WANT DA OTHER GIT TO HEAR YA, THEY JUST NEED EARS.
IZ BASIC SCIENZE! I THOUGHT YOU HUMIES 'RE SUPPOSE' TA BE DA SMART 'UNS!
Which is basically my headcanon as to why they can still talk in the vacuum of space, and honestly it makes logical sense. For the Orks, I mean.
IMO, one of the most fun ways that Orks were written as a species with not just an alien culture but an alien _psychology,_ is that while they don't understand the concept of "friendship", they _DO_ have a concept of "favorite enemy". If you give an Ork a _really_ good fight, instead of fighting to the death, they may retreat or allow you to retreat _so they can fight you again later_ - even going as far as to make plans with their "enemy" to meet up on a certain planet at a certain time to fight some more. After all, "it's not retreatin' if we comes back for anovver go!"
"And we makes sure not to have red, cuz red makes it fasta. Can't have da figtz end too soon" is probably something they'd say too XD

The Trazyn bit you were reading is really wordy, but it sums up his personality pretty well.
To summarize what was written, basically Trazyn captured a bunch of soldiers, someone of high rank noticed, and they sent more soldiers to get them back.
Trazyn just captured them too. Then he sent a message saying "oh, thank you for noticing my collection was incomplete and sending me more of your men to fill out the display! How generous! Here's a trap as thanks-"
Basically Trazyn is 40Ks greatest troll, but also it's greatest historian. We all joke that he's a kleptomaniac, but he genuinely cares about documenting history. He's an immortal, after all. He has plenty of time to tell it.
I want to reccomend "EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Trazyn the Infinite" by Isyander and Koda. I'm not sure how well their format would work with reaction streaming, but even if you don't make a vid of it, watch it for fun. It's a good breakdown of his character and it's hilarious.
Isyander and Koda slaps

Or "The history of the Galaxy, by Trazyn the Infinite" because it really encapsulates who Trazyn is at heart.
Mr yoink your shit in a nutshell
The thing about Nurgle demons is they don’t see their plagues are bad but as gifts. The Grandfather (a name for Nurgle) removes the pain his plagues cause on those who follow him
Nurgle loves you for existing, and he loves the cancer in your body. What if you don’t die from it? Or you just constantly resurrect? No problem anymore. How about you feed it? And the flies in your new walking corpse? They can help you with stuff. They can be your friends. You can become a big happy family. Don’t you want others to be happy too? You have to spread this beauty! And then you can chill with those people and their tumors and bugs too! And you can spread happiness together!
Nurgle is wholesome in a fucked up way and one of the better fates in 40K. Bricky kinda undersold.
@@requiemlul3140that is true that is why if I would worship a chaos god if would be nurgle because it will be pain in the beginning but it will feel great at the end compared to losing your mind by khorne,your boss can do anything to you even bad things if you do a good job tzeench,and just tons of emotion and too much if it by sleenesh
@@Vipertheskylord Warrior that worshipped Khorne eventually lost themselves in the madness of war. Only a few remain sane. Kharn the betrayer have to count every enemies he killed to not lose himself to the endless battles like his father did.
@@usernamealreadytaken9330 which is why I said lose my mind because only a few remain a little sane a tiny little part but most just lose their minds to the combat
Course as soon as they get cut off from the Warp and Nurgle they immediately become horrified of what they become until the quickly die from all the diseases and what would happen when you have your intestines out of your body like that.
Will always describe Nurgle as the ultimate abusive relationship. He will make you sick, put you on deaths door, make you beg for death, and then he will offer you freedom and all you have to do is rely and trust him wholly, but only if you behave and do as you’re told.
Yeah he is basically running a protection racket lmao. It’s basically “you better worship me and spread my plague or else you might just become maggot food.”
Now I’m imagining nurgle but with an Italian-American accent like from the movies.
@@sirshotty7689 Now I'm just imagining Nurgle doing his own version of Marlon Brando's speech in the opening of the Godfather.
And then there’s Isha.
"You have not been corrupted, Mortarion. You have been claimed."
I just noticed that the chaos gods are basically an old cartoon protagonist group.
They have the strong one, the smart one, the overweight one and the hot one.
They're your typical gamer nerd. You got the rage quitter, the guy who bends all the rules, the guy who hasn't washed in months, and the horndog.
The difference being that you can’t really beat them with the whole truth, justice, and friendship thing
Yes! We have the Main Character one! The smart one! The funny one! And girl!
That's basically Shaolin Showdown in a nutshell.
Edit: Khorn is Fred, Tzeench is Velma, Nurgle is Shaggy, and Slaanesh is Daphne.
I play TTRPGs, and I noticed that of all the 40k RPG systems, the one that feels the closest to D&D is Black Crusade, where player characters are Chaos-aligned heretics.
Because in other 40k systems the players are constrained by the fact that they are loyal Imperial servants, or at least pretend to be.
Whereas in Black Crusade they can rather freely hunt for "magical" artifacts, cast "spells", seek for more power, choose "gods" to worship and make deals with demons. All the usual fantasy stuff.
Yes, they kind of have to be more evil than a typical D&D party, but that goes for any 40k roleplay.
@gfefighter8510 Oddly enough, though, the power of friendship might just be the key to neutralizing them forever.
22:00 the reason why the chaos gods are always awful in the lore is because if you remember the war in heaven, so much negativity, pain and suffering was brought to the warp in such a short period of time that evil overwhelmed everything else and the warp was tainted, and even after the war ended there was still suffering and pain brought by the eldar in their excess, there might have been versions of nurgle, khorn and tzeench that were more nuetral, that better represented both sides of them selves but we might never get to see these versions of them.

Important sidenote, Bricky did this video prior to reading "The Infinite and The Divine" and "Twice Dead King," which are downright overburdened with necron lore dumps, like:
1) context for how genuinely desperate the necrontyr were for immortality
2) the way necrons- as imortals- do not process time like mortals, EG having an opera that is literally 10+ years straight with only a one-year intermission
3) the fact that necrons are genuinely terrified of the mental illnesses that linger even after their biotransference, and most are neurotic messes.
Also, it's a source of endless joy to me that the aliens in 40K are ALIEN, not just in biology but in how they THINK. It's not just a cultural difference.
Additional footnote... this also predates the release of the Leagues of Votann, who are a neohuman faction that disguise themselves as xenos and culturally are space dwarves.
Also those small bits of humanity(?) like Trazyns Accountant guy.

The eldar used to have an entire pantheon pre Slaanesh was born. When Slaanesh was born she killed all but three of them, Cegorach escaped and hid in the Black Library. Isha, their goddess of life was captured by Nurgle so he could test his plagues on her. And Khaine, their god of war was shattered during his duel with Slaanesh after Khorne intervened and his fragments were scattered throughout the galaxy

1:15:04 I am amazed how with zero knowledge on the tyranids, nux instantly grasped the scope of the threat they pose off quite limited info, even (probably correctly) surmising that these fleets may well be just scouting parties. Man's a genius
Fun fact: There is a reason Necrons started to show character and diplomacey and that reason are Tyranids. Necrons were mostly considered the the native counter to the Tyranid invasion since they are no food and a battle against the Necs always ends in loss of biomass even if the Nids win. BUT... MASSIVE BUT! The Nids are evolving to counter that problem, and they tested it on Chaos first. Hivefleet Kronos is now actively hunting Demons wich they cant consume either because they just pop out of existance. They are not biological. Yet Kronos evolved to hunt them down. They get fed by Leviathan as some sort of special arm of the swarm. They don't serve the purpose anymore to feed but to extinct incosumable threats. From there it's just a tiny adaptation to fighting the Necrons, even tho the Necs are a whole different league towards the nids. But they adapt!

He didn't bring up my favorite facts about the orks. They reproduce by clouds of spores that release at their death, making them a fungus. Thats why they can act so dumb and fight literally everything all the time. Because when you fight them, if you don't scorch every battlefield they were on, then you'll just have to fight another crop of ork boyz in a couple of months.
Another fact is that technically, the longevity of orks has never been tested. Its known they keep growing as they age and dont seem to have a foreseeable cap, but the fact that one of the oldest longest living orks is currently around 5 years old its hard to determine their full potentiol.
my favorite fact about Orks is their werid psychic abilities that makes their cobbled together BS worrk, or like how since they beileve red ones go faster, in the lore and in the game, painting their vehicles red literally makes them go faster n how humans have tried using ork weaponry and had...mixed results xD meaning thaat some weapons worked but some just do not and should not work, and they dont, unless an Ork is using it, n they make em work simply cuz they just BELIEVE it works, and so it does cuz there all at least a tiny bit psychic or something
A party of orks is currently having a good time back at Khorne's world, who knows? Maybe by now, those guys are thousands of years old due to dying and getting resurrected by Khorny Khorne flakes

Their reproduction being through spores just like a fungus is also a great evolutionary reason to explain their low intelligence and high aggressiveness. Instead of rewarding members of the species for living longer, Ork reproduction rewards dying ASAP. Instead of evolution rewarding a tribe of intelligent creatures that slowly dominate their surroundings, Ork physiology rewards each wave of young venturing farther and dying in as great of numbers as possible.
If such bio-physiology was possible on Earth, then such behavior would make complete sense.
1:05:55 to 1:07:30 I used to feel like the Harlequins were a bit out of place, but this has me absolutely sold on them now.
Most people stop at Drukhari lore with the kidnapping, the torture stuff and the debauchery, but their society is so crazy and cool in ways.
The three major sub-factions: the Kabals (most of the people that go out on raids to get slaves, but the Archons that lead the Kabals are most of the leaders and major players in Commorragh, their home city), the Wych Cults (all female mostly melee masters of gladiator combat using drugs to stimulate their skills they put on shows murdering slaves for the entertainment of others and the best are treated like how we treat high level pro athletes), and the Haemunculi Covens (perform tons of "experimentation" to create horrifying abominations, a lot of their tech, perfected cloning which is nearly impossible in 40k due to the issue of the soul and the warp). And these 3 factions work together because they need each other to put on successful raids and torture to keep Slaanesh away.
But what's even cooler is the whole city is just an eternal game of thrones level of politics, backstabbing, coercion, etc. They have a unit called the Scourge which is a Drukhari that pays a ton of money to a Haemonculi to graft wings onto their back. Then if they survive the surgery they take all the new Scourge candidates up to the highest buildings in Commorragh and basically kick them over the edge. The ones that fly become the most protected people in the city as they are the only way people can send private messages with 100% security and the ones that don't fly plummet to their deaths and they start the process again.
It's one of the smaller factions in 40k models wise but almost all of them ooze such a cool style if you're into them
I am ALWAYS down for range expansions, and the Drukhari are one of the ones with a really cool model range.
Just started playing recently and was immediately drawn to the cool body horror aspects of the models, made me deep dive the lore of them and that's when I knew I made the right chose, I love the politics in their stories, I love the debauchery, but most of all I absolutly love the insane lore, I wasn't playing when the Mandrakes were a thing but damn I want some of them, I love the models.
@@Sepricotaku I was lucky enough to get a set of Mandrakes from the new Kill Team Nightmare set that I split with my CSM playing buddy. They are fantastic in 10th as screeners/objective players. Their lore of just being nightmare shadow creatures is amazing. Hands down my favorite models are the Incubi. I have 20 fully painted and their giant swords and cool armor is so much fun to paint. While they aren't as insane on the tabletop as they were in 9th the new detachment made them a lot better. Welcome to the Dark Kin! They are a hard army to play but are a lot of fun to kitbash and paint. Hoping they get more of the line in plastic over half the army is nearly impossible to get without 3D printing

Just a heads up with the necrons that a lot of lore channels get wrong. The War in Heaven isn't really covered well by folks on UA-cam.
The necrons are by far the strongest of the factions. The War in Heaven was won by the necrons.
They fought the Old Ones, masters of the warp who are godlike beings that seed races and societies, and wiped them out. That's with the Eldar and Krorks fighting alongside them.
They then turned on the C'tan that enslaved them, Godlike beings and masters of the real world. Shattered and enslaved their masters. With the Eldar and Krorks hounding the boundaries of their armies.
That is 2 godlike beings exterminated back to back in the same war. During this time, they are building the means to seal the warp away.
By the end of this conflict they were to exhausted to fight of the rising Eldar and the rampaging Krork.
So they slept, knowing that the Eldar will destroy themselves and the Krork will devolve without an enemy to fight.
They were right.
Necrons being the strongest is a heavily subjective claim, but only because trying to define the strongest in Warhammer is ludicrous. Every faction has their outrageous feats of badass. I'm biased saying this, I will openly admit, but I will say that on a one-to-one fight against the Tyranids, the Tyranids would utterly crush the Necrons. Tyranids would be greatly wounded, but their sheer numbers renders them practically unstoppable even against Necrons.
The Aeldari and Krork were starting to push the Necrons back, but if things were allowed to pan out naturally, the Necrons would have finished the Null array and cut the Warp off from the galaxy, severely mitigating the power potential of their enemies and a lot of the collateral damage from the War (Enslaver plague, proto-daemons, Warp Storms, etc etc).
The only reason they DIDN'T win is that they shot themselves in the foot in order to stop all life in existence from being eaten by the C'tan, since Szarekh wanted to undo the Biotransferrence and needed lifeforms to do that.
@@Red-Check-Mark
Bias is noted and I appreciate that you would admit it.
I love a good debate, so les'go.
Out the gate. I favor the Orks and understand my favorite faction is the colloquially known punching bag of the setting.
That said, the Necrons are a hard counter to every facet of the Tyranids. Their troopers have weaponry that never runs out of ammunition and leave behind nothing after impact. Everything they have with the exception of the tesla weaponry will shred any armored bioform. This is before considering the C'tan shards they have at their disposal.
Their bodies provide no nourishment for the Tyranid host so the battle is a net loss on all levels in terms of biomass. Not to mention that their basic trooper will ressurect after falling.
I will concede that recently, rumors have circulated that there is a spinter fleet that can eat necrodermis. Though, if that is true, I bet it's due to GamesWorkshop not wanting to have their newest force immediately shut down.
Moreover, Tyranids cannot fight them on anywhere near equal footing in void combat, which is where the majority of those fight would take place. This is because they are most vulnerable when traveling between planets. Remember most of their biomass reserves are inert in transit.
Additionally, most of their bioforms need atmosphere to function. Necron ships do not have atmosphere, making boarding attempts a viciously uphill battle.
The only units that pose a genuine threat are the psykers like the zoanthrope and the neurothrope, (I think that is what it's called). But the Shadow in the Wapr has no effect on Necrons. Communication and interstellar travel is still possible for them when Tyranids show up, making flanking maneuvers possible in fleet to fleet battles.
The only reason that Tyranids have the numbers advantage is because GW will never allow the Necron Tombworlds to awaken in the lore. So they are stuck with a fraction of their full power at all times.
Remember... all bias aside. The Necrons were THE boogeyman of the setting before their lore was updated. There is a solid, factual foundation of evidence why they are the strongest.

Here’s another Ork story told by Bricky:
A bunch of imperial guardsmen utterly surrounded by Orks run out of ammunition for their Lazguns. The commander gets an idea; he points his gun at an ork and goes “BANG!”. The Ork, thinking he still has ammo, falls over dead. His company follow suit with the same results. Eventually a group of orks start coming over the hill, not dying despite being ‘shot’ so many times. And as they get closer the guardsmen hear “I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK! I’M A TANK!”
or how another time the rolled down the windows of ther spaceship to shoot the imperial ship, and they were able to breath in space up until the imperial ship asked them how were they breathing in space, which made the orks realize they were in space and INSTANTLY ALL SUFFOCATED 🤣
Fun Lore Tidbit: There’s an Eldar sub faction Bricky didn’t cover here called The Exodites.

Nux, you gotta react to his video about every Space Marine legion. It is really cool to see every different one.
So the Ork technology running on imagination thing is actually just a meme. The real joke is that humans are so technologically backwards that Orks know more about engineering than them. To a tech priest that only knows how to build something from blueprints and doesn’t actually know how it works, Ork tech is magic.
I've got a fun story about the Orks. They are one of the top contenders of winning 40k, if there was a way to win. (They are the only faction that can take out Necron tomb worlds.) And yeah, its a pretty funny story about why even Chaos fears the orks.
Commissar Yarrick, or Old Bale Eye as known by the orks, was a human Commissar on Armageddon and leader of the forces there. He'd often fight the orks head to head, going into the green hordes himself. He was probably the best expert on Orks of the entire Empire, and made his cybernetics much like Orks did. They didn't work very well... unless he was fighting Orks at which point they became insanely strong. He soon made a name for himself fighting the ork hordes to the point the orks thought he was unkillable and insanely strong for a human, which wasn't a part of his plan at first, but he used that to become a walking god among the battlefield when fighting Orks specifically (Since Orks belief becomes reality, and they thought he was unkillable, so he became unkillable while fighting them.). The Orks loved fighting him so much they revered him, something Orks don't usually do for non orks. This was because he'd often give them the biggest battles with him and his soldiers, and orks loved that. Plus he constantly was at war with the biggest Ork boss, Ghazghkull. (Ghazghkull is the prophet of Gork and Mork, or basically the ork pope.) who declared Yarrick his rival.
One day, he was taken out, not by orks, but by Angron. The Orks and Ghazghkull learned about this and were SAD. Orks don't get sad, they are happy go lucky. They then got ANGRY, because some demon took out Old Bale Eye, who they coudn't do anything about and Ghazghkull mourned the loss of... before declaring revenge. And for once, Orks, who normally never cared about who they fought, who had no inclination of grief or vengence... were now angry and out for revenge. And their target was Angron; who is now hiding and absoltely crapping himself because he earned the ire of basically the entire Ork race, something NO ONE, not even the necrons or eldari or anyone, had managed to do. Even Korhn looked at him and said. "You F'ed up buddy. You F'ed up bad" and is also a bit unnerved and scared of what is to come. The Orks can easily take out Angron, then go to his respawn point in the warp and camp him for all eternity and Khorn will not save him, out of fear of reprisal from the Orks. Not entertainment, but fear.
The reason even Khorn is worried? Gork and Mork are the strongest gods in the 40k universe by a wide, WIDE margin. They only fight each other because their opposite is the only one strong enough to fight. Once, and only once, all 4 chaos gods tried to attack Mork. Mork turned around for a second and casually backhanded all 4 of them at once, sending them scurrying in fear heavily injured, before going back to fighting Gork. They didn't even manage to hurt Mork at all with this ambush, thats how strong the Ork gods are. In fact, they are the natural disasters of the warp, their fight is like a tornado no one can stop, and all you can do is get out of their way and pick up the pieces when they leave. And this is a huge reason Khorn is a bit scared himself since the ork pope hates Angron and might hate him in return, and he is worried Gork and Mork might look his way and just turn him into paste with a single blow if that happens.
Do the Impossible See the Invisible
Row row Fight the Powa! 🌌
Except 100% of this is fan nonsense. Ork belief did not make Yarrick unkillable. There is no confirmation that Yarrick was killed by Angron (but...but heavily implied! No. Fuck that.) Yarrick was even refusing most rejuvenates. He could've just died of old age. Not to mention Yarrick wasn't even on Armageddon at the time. He was chasing after Ghaz. Neither Angron or the World Eaters are mentioned once in the Ork codex. Similarly, neither Ghaz or Yarrick or even Armageddon are mentioned in the World Eater codex. Angron manifested out of the warp on the Conqueror. The entire feud between Ghazghkull and Angron came from nothing.
Damn.
So he took their favourite enemy.
Why only Orks could take Tomb Worlds ?
Khorne *opening his door to see both Gork and Mork*: "Oh hey guys. Nice to see some fellow war gods besides Khaine."
Gork and Mork:....
Khorne: "Um, uh, that's a, that's weird. You're normally much louder. And arguing when not fighting."
Gork and Mork:.....
Khorne: "Is this about Tuska? I mean, I thought you'd be perfectly fine with him staying on one of my Daemon Worlds for eternity but if you want him back in the materium I guess I could always just-"
Gork: "Old Bale eye"
Mork: "Wasn't Angron's to take"
Khorne *closing and locking door*: "Ah shit, ah shit, ah fuck. Angron! Angron!! The fuck Angron?!?!?"
That lore dive on Angron missed the darkest part: the person he refused to kill was his (adopted) father, since they were the only two left standing at the end of a giant melee. As punishment, they both got the butcher's nails implanted and were sent back in to fight each other. Only one can leave the fighting pits.
No, it’s still isn’t the darkest part.
Every Primarch represents some aspect of Emperor, some are more obvious then other, like lorgar being his passion, conviction, Magnus - his unrestrained psychic might, perturabo- his engineering ability and calculation and genius, et cetera
Yet Angron, despite being perceived as his butcher, executioner and rage was never meant to be. His aspect was MERCY. He is insanely powerful empath, he took pain and suffering of other people onto himself, thus healing them. Nails not only crippled him, they also locked him out of helping others, and made him inflict pain on them, which he feels.
Angron, uncorrupted by nails could save some other Primarchs from their pitfalls, like Kurze, Dorn, Perturabo, Magnus,Lorgar and Lion, He could be the one to prevent the heresy altogether.
And this is dark. Turning a saviour, a gift of kindness and hope into a twisted mockery of itself, able to give mercy only by killing quick. And suffering for it himself.

Here's a fun tidbit and theory for you:
The warp reflects the beliefs and emotions of mortal souls. The chaos gods became violent and evil during the War In Heaven between the Necrons and the Old Ones, twisted by the millions of years of violence and atrocities across the entire galaxy.
The Emperor's Great Crusade sought to stamp out religion, because religious belief fuels the chaos entities. Remove belief and replace with logic and reason and in theory you could kill the chaos gods. It's part of what makes the Imperial cult worshiping the Emperor all the more ironic.
The Necrons sought to seal the warp using their Blackstone technologies, but ran out of time / resources before they could finish and went to sleep to try to finish the job later when they woke up. It is unclear just how well it works on the whole, but it does have a very real effect and is another example of a race trying to stop Chaos on a grand scale.
The Tyranids devour all life to make more 'nids with their collective hive mind suppressing the warp. I think it is not far-fetched to think they may be the result of similar anti-chaos works in another galaxy. Kill all the bio-mass = no more souls to fuel chaos, while building up their own quasi-deity hive mind by making ever more nids. I think the bugs are just an alien bio-weapon in it's end-stages and the Milky Way galaxy is just next on the munching list. Think of them kind of like the Reapers from Mass Effect or the Rings from Halo; Wipe out life to stop something worse that feeds on it.
The irony of the worship of the Emperor gets even darker when you look at the beliefs a certain Khorne cult called the "Blood Pact" of the Sabbat worlds. Unlike most other Chaos Cultists, they don't see him as the "Anathema" or the great enemy of Chaos. To them, he's just a new Chaos God who has yet to be truly born, gestating in the corpse that sits on the Golden Throne. Given how the Warp works, they might not be wrong.
I don't believe Nids are anyone's creation really, to me it feels better if they're natural born entities. They just spawned as nature's last attempt at nuking Chaos before it'll overtake everything.
Tho with chaos demons not giving Nids biomass, demons feels like one of the only true Nid predators, next to Necrons who also has no Biomass, but who also dislike Nids for stealing the future of them being organic once more.
I find it kinda funny that those three have seemingly no interactions, but also counter each other the best of every faction available
@@Rukdug I think there was something semi-recently about the emperor almost becoming a Chaos God before confronting Horus, where he unbound his power temporarily and all the custodes in his presence immediately withered and died. I forget the name but it was something like The Dark King.
The problem with the Necron pylon plan is that it'd kill anyone with a Warp presence.
Every human, every Eldar and every Tau, and every Ork.
the eldar rune for the harlequins is just an "XD"
Nice! I was looking forward to part 2, part 1 reaction was great!
Bricky missed a very important aspect of the Genestealers. When the cult is large enough they become a psychic beacon that draws Tyranid swarms to the plant. The swarms basically shoot out Genestealer spores everywhere at all times as a seeking mechanism. A world gets infected, the cult spreads and bam, swarm of apex predator hungry bugs knows where to go next.

Slaneesh isn't about pleasure or pain, they are about experience. An unyielding desire to reject the normal.

You can thank Magnus for that.
Nux, if you like Orks so much, here are some fun lore tidbits that I particularly love:
-They can increase the firerate of any given weapon simply by yelling "dakka dakka" while shooting.
-There's a Commissar named Sebastian Yarrick, who is the only human that any Ork truly fears. He got his arm ripped off during a fight so he picked up a Power Klaw off a dead Ork and just put it in his shoulder to use as his new arm and kept fighting. This display of sheer badassery has led some Orks believe he can kill them just by looking at them. And so he can. Once the Imperium learned of this, they gave him a cybernetic augmentation that replaced his eye with a tiny lazgun.
-There's an Ork Warboss called Tuska the Daemon Killa. Normally, the Orks have no connection to the Warp but Tuska found out that Daemons live there and thought it would be a good fight. So he gathered his boyz, flew straight into the eye of terror, and got merced immediately. Tuska fought to his last breath, dismayed by the sudden deaths of his entire army. Khorne was so impressed by this that he resurrected the Orks just to let them fight more Daemons, getting stronger and more ready every time. Basically, they found Valhalla so they're the only concious beings in the 40k universe who got any sort of Good Ending.
-This last one is my personal favorite but I'm not entirely sure if it's canon: There's an Ork who tried to leave a planet in search of a fight and somehow got lost in the Warp. Time works differently in the Warp so he arrived before he had left. So he found his past self and killed him just so he can have two of his favorite gun.
Orks get bigger the more they fight and they get smarter the bigger they are. When the Necrons disappeared the Krorks ran out of people to fight so they just got dumber over time
"The Eldar were stronger than the Necrons." Is a wild take to me. They justfought 2 galaxy sized wars and won.
One important thing about chaos gods is that they all absolutely despise all other chaos gods and have at least one inconsolable opposite to every other chais god. They fight amongst each other just as much if not more than with anyone else. And the only reason neither of them has won is because when one of them gets too powerful the rest allies against them and pull them down again.
That on the other hand puts all of them allying against the emperor once he started to grow in power into perspective... Just how much of a human is he really... Maybe he is a chaos god of order...
Yep he is the Anathema and would become the Dark King a chaos god that would destroy all if Emps didn’t cut of it
I think the problems alot of people have for the Tau are overstated. They seem like they don't fit because they aren't meant to. They aren't meant to be a successful force, the whole point is that they are naive. It's like looking at the imperium before the age of strife and saying that it doesn't fit the grimdark nature of 40k. They exist in a place in time within the universe. They are a new and hopeful faction, they haven't had time to be ripped apart and beaten down into the dark hopeless struggle for survival that the rest of the mortal factions have. Their story isn't about them successfully uniting against their foes under one big wholesome family banner, it's a strory of them trying that and facing the brutal consequences of their naivete.
If there is ever a Warhammer 50k the Tau will be either completely corrupted and destroyed or it will be forced to devolve into another imperium.
If you are gomna start read 40k books, make sure Infinite and the Divine is one of the first. Easily one of the best of the franchise
About your ork warp channeling question, I gotta level with you, yes and no, yes there is indeed a small effect from their belief, and the more orks are together the more these effects become apparent, but the knowledge orks have to build and use their tech is ingrained in their dna, they were made by the old ones to be the ultimate warriors, fast producing and growing stronger through warfare.
the meme however has become almost canon in the eyes of many and now many people truly believe that orcish belief works this way

There is a funny story about orcs. Once a platoon of guardsman were deep in orc territory, but they ran out of ammo. They had no way to get more ammo so they just started pointing their guns and yelling BANG! Surprisingly it worked. They killed many orcs like this. But one small group of orcs were immune to this. When the orcs got closer the guardsmen heard the orcs repeating "I'm a tank. I'm a tank. I'm a tank" over and over again.
ive never herd this story, but yeeeaaah, godddamn orks and their weird latent psychic powers that make things just somehow work xD
“Between order and chaos, there is comedy” is not a line I expected to hear in a Nux Taku video
Can't wait for "The Beast of ORKmagedon lore"
After nux first Warhammer video i started getting random cutscenes in my feed. Now im hooked on the lore. Not enough to empty my bank account on models, but great lore.
KORN FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES!
Sperm for the sperm whale
Nux is the best reactor he actually discusses what he’s watching instead of sitting there in silence.
The tau trusted the dark Eldar once.
Once.
Fun fact: The hypothetical opposite to Grimdark is 'hopepunk'.
Angron even lost his primarch aura because of what happened to him
Waiting for nux to find Luitins channel.... 1hr video on just a lasgun? Let's goo lol
The Necrons are my favorite. Shatter your gods like glass and use the shards as car batteries!
I love the idea of the silent king being such because while he was conscious for that whole time, he was silent and acted as the puppet biding his time
Anyone else feel like we’re currently mirroring how the Eldar created Slaneesh? We’re probably not far off from creating our own Chaos god
Major understatement.
In the Vein of Fear and Hunger:Termina, the Internet itself is a Godmachine and we will achieve the great Singularity and expand as one species.
I love how the extremists of modern day map so cleanly to chaos cults. It makes it hilariously easy to reject their position.
Truly I am armored in contempt. A war eternal is better than their faux utopia.
WH40k is the tales of the ruined of once great civilization crumbled under its own weight.
@@requiemlul3140No.
We'll be consumed.
Isander and Koda's episode on the Genesteeler cult made me realize how funny they are. A cult having to defend an imperium world against whatever so that the hive fleet that may never show up has something to eat, but also have to feign imperium level incompetence so they aren't discovered.
Orks acrually dont rely on the warp. The old ones created them to be able to essentially warp reality with collective thought process. The more orks that believe something the more real it becomes. Its awesome 😂
My favourite fact about the orcs is that the spaceships have roll down windows.
That _is_ Warpcraft
1:07:00 - GIVE THIS MAN A PhD! That's why 40k lore was written for like 35-40 years. Such a pleasure to see a smart neophyte coming to such deep understanding of the universe and doing it on a fly/improvising.
Khorne has a bit more to him.
-Like he will not lie to you. So any deals made with him or his demons they will uphold.
-absolutely HATES psyker/warpy powers used for "direct" combat!!! Tolerates them for utility like transporting between worlds, but not in battle. Sees as cheatimg and making the glorious fighting into cheap and hollow victory if such powers were used.
-While he realy loves the Beserking FURY! He values those with tactical and strategic minds. Something that a lot of fans of 40k forget at times.
(He just doesn't like over planning/thinking that say a certain god of change does like.)
The irony is that I can't think of a single khorne worshipper known specifically for their tactical acumen. Shame that.
@@johnj.spurgin7037 They didn't get the memo, Tzeench stole it. Or maybe Trazyn.
Nux should really go the distance and get the chaos started tattooed on himself. Always been fascinated with the simple design but deep meaning behind it.
So glad to hear people pronouncing Tzeentch like in this video. There's this one guy who keeps calling him Tit-snitch and it drives me insane-
Who is this being that does so?
@@isaacgirouard5924 Majorkill. He does a lot of 40K lore videos as well, all of them pretty good, but that one pronunciation just. I can’t even tell of he's being mocking
He literally does it on purpose@@iamnotamouseok
17:25 Khorne is the God Kenpachi prays to, in the hopes he will come down and fight him one day.
Some say the Emporer is only alive because the orcs believe he is
Hence then needing to be purged, so Big E can die and resurrect.
Slaneesh is essentially a cenobite from hellraiser
Have NEVER clicked this fast
Edit: The topic of chaos just gave me a hell of an idea…hows about some Guilty Gear lore?
Great to see you enjoying the setting. You can also look at PancreasNoWork and Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer as they are both great at explaining the series
