Xenos (pronounced ZEE-nahs or zehn-AHS) is a High Gothic term used by the people and adepta of the Imperium of Man that means "stranger" and "alien." It is often used by the Adeptus Terra to signify enemy aliens or off-world, non-Human forces.
The main starfaring, intelligent xenos species in the Milky Way Galaxy are the Drukhari, Aeldari, Necrons, Orks, T'au and Tyranids, though there are countless other intelligent alien species, most of them hostile, that Mankind has encountered over the long millennia of its expansion across the stars. - Розваги

about jokaeros: the funny thing is that while extremely gifted with technology, they otherwise STILL are monkeys in all regards, meaning don't count on them to mass produce anything, and they will sometime escape their cage, technologically improve it, and end up caught by it. Overall inquisitors keep them around as you don't wanna miss what they make, but what they make.. is random.
Also, unlike the admech, they will work for bananas. Literally. If they don't make a machine that produces bananas first.
There was that one in Pandorax that just wanted to fix a super heavy tank.
They are pretty much idiot savant artisans.
@@dakotadean7551 monke is best
They also worship the Deceiver for some odd reason, so they are also smart enough to have concept of religion, but still dumb enough to be caught in their own traps.
@@thejestor9378 Honestly though, even the smartest people in the universe still do incredibly stupid things. Intelligence doesn't guarantee good decisions.
Jokaero, literally the Space Orangutans, a species of barely sapient primate xenos that possess inherent aptitude for machinery to the point that they are allowed to tinker with human tech because sometimes, they would improve them by leaps and bounds in a way that the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus can't comprehend.
There's also some speculation that they were created or modified by the Old Ones which would make them 'cousins' to the Eldar and the Orks. And if that were true, Jokaero holds the distinction of being the one of the few among the Old Ones' creations that didn't screw up the galaxy after they died.
Respect the Monke.
The best part is they don't have any large over-arching motive for their tech and only care about the very moment. Are they hungry? They'll make a machine that manufactures bananas, and then dump it because they're not hungry
@@MidwayWuzzupman that feels more human that the humans in the imperium
also they have boxy ships which utilise some uknown physics fuckery to accelerate itself. Lizardfolk tier ideology: "will it make me better at survival? Tool go clang clang"
@@BenisDD it's even weirder than that. They use some form of solar currents with open faces and because of how specific and precise it's shaped they don't need oxygen tanks or space suits even though they're exposed to open space

Man, I really hate to "UM ACHKTUALLY" you on the Interex, but they didn't make the sword and were deathly afraid of chaos. They were initially very wary of the imperium because they were worried the imperium was a chaos faction
The Kinebrach were Nurgle corrupted and were the ones who made the blade that Erebus stole,somehow the Interex at least claimed to have contained the corruption.
Theories about their Warp taint aside,40K is very deep when You look at it from several angles,but also very simple.
Thank god you called this out. I didnt want to end being the "UM ACHKTUALLY" guy.
@@lazerhosen I mean I agree with most of what you're saying, but Orks literally are a fungus, and their tech literally does work primarily on belief and pskyer BS, maybe not quite to the extent that it's memed but it's closer to that then to the 'realistic hard science Ork tech' some people seem to want it to be.
I'm actually really annoyed by the 'actually ork tech doesn't work based on belief it's just very advanced tech" theory that's been spread by boring people who seem to want to remove this wacky fun part of 40k to make it more grimdark or whatever. Someone literally tried to convince me that the colour red doesn't make ork vehicles go faster... when it's literally in the table top rules and consistent in the lore.
@@demodave6054 normally, I wouldn't bother, but Horus's unnecessary destruction of the Interex is an important aspect of his fall, and it's important to realize this isn't just another chaos purge.
To fully complete this "UM, ACHKTUALLY", the blade Erebus stole was made by the Kinebrach, who were nearly wiped out by the Interex after a war with them, and only allowed to live so long as they were subservient to the human population of the Interex civilization. The blade itself was a Kinebrach nano-tech weapon that functioned by releasing nano-bots in to the bloodstream of whoever it was programmed to be used against. It was a feared weapon because it was a guaranteed one-hit-kill. No matter how superficial the cut, the nano-bots would make the target bleed out and die. Erebus decided to make it extra nasty by giving it to a Great Unclean One to marinade for a while so that Horus' Primarch immune system wouldn't overcome the nano-bots before he could convince the Luna Wolves to let him do Chaos bullshit to their Primarch.
"Now lets see who's under this mask"
*removes helmet*
"Primarch of the Alpha Legion Alpharius!"
"And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling Inquisitors!"
Then the image shrinks, showing the same kind of scene playing out in 30 locations at once. Cut to the pale spear moving pieces on a map of the galaxy.
I am Alpharius.
And this is a lie.
They should make "Ordo Xenos Minoris" mini series and list other non main 40k aliens. Like, as much as possible...

There's a great lore tidbit about the Watchers in the Dark and how "strong" they are.
The Changeling, Tzeentchs greatest trickster who even messes with/pranks the Chaos Gods themselves, infiltrated The Rock. There he encountered a Watcher in the Dark and immediately went like "nope, I ain't gonna mess with that one. Time to get outa here."
"Where it stopped. A shudder - a rare sensation - ran down the Changeling’s borrowed spine, the shadow of an instinctive reaction born from its time wearing mortal flesh. Skin prickled and the servos in the illusion of its power armour whirred as its fists clenched. Around it, for the first time since it had set events in motion, Fate buckled.
There was something at the far end of the cell corridor. The Changeling could not so much see it as sense the absence of the aether around it. To the daemon’s warp-sight, the thing was really an un-thing, a black void without tangible thoughts or emotions to define it.
The daemon tried to look upon the un-thing with Azrael’s flesh-eyes. It was diminutive in size, its form hidden beneath the thick folds of a bone-coloured cloak, as though in imitation of the Lion’s sons. The shadows beneath its deep cowl were utterly impenetrable, as dark to mortal eyes as its soul-presence was to the Changeling’s warp vision.
It did not move. It did not have to. The Changeling found itself taking a step back, the daemon’s flesh quivering. Fear was something the Changeling could not feel, only feed upon, but the sight of the un-thing watching him from the shadows caused the daemon an indefinable, icy discomfort.
The Changeling could not stay here. It could go no further. This part of the wider plan was unnecessary anyway, a mere addendum to the ritual that would carry the daemonic trickster away, and drag the Lions with it. The Changeling doubled back the way it had come, the cells untouched. Fate’s weave morphed, the future a newborn, fresh entity.
Behind it, the Watcher in the Dark remained silent and unmoving. It was still there, unseen, when back within the Angelicasta’s depths the Lion, the Wolf, Knight and Angel Hunter finally caught the Changeling at bay."
So, little fellas are blanks, interesting
@@Ake-TL not really.. since they don't seem to affect negatively humans around them like a blank would. they otherwise match the description indeed though.
Lordy, I love the Changeling. Always nice to have a Dæmon that actively has its own will and agenda...unless ordered by the boss...
@@thorveim1174 maybe part of their mysterious powers is that they are able to mask their blankness to the humans
Love that I know this, excellent book for those that want to read this its in a space wolves novel called "legacy of Russ" you could just read that or do what I got and get The sagas of the space wolves book which shoves a bunch of books and short stories together.
Fun Fact: The Warhammer 40K kid's books (yes they exist) features a jokaero as a main character.
...Always questioned how they worked...
@@matthewyeldig4608 The kid's books? They're actually pretty good. 12-15 year old protagonists and light on the details of combat. It's more matter of fact than embellishing.
The first book opens with a Necron invasion: "Guardsmen gets shot and disappears into a green haze"
as opposed to
"Isabel, who spent all of her adult life in the Guard, had never even considered combat against such inhuman beings as the walking metal skeletons that approached her position. As she raised her lasgun to return fire against the xenos horrors, green energy enveloped her from her right side. Burning hot emerald energy coursed through her body separating molecule from molecule, atom from atom, in such intense agony that were it not over in nanoseconds she would have begged for a las bolt to end her suffering."
@@Centurian128 Huh... I guess that works! I suppose due to my understanding of this universe, I couldn't understand how it doen't just end with, "And little Justien, having watched her best friends be hacked into mince-meat alive by Khorn demons, turned the lazgun on herself."
GW producing Kids book about 40k is like Hitler's producing child friendly Mein Kampf
@@PodreyJenkin138 They have to keep themselves in the minds of the new generation. Media is not just for 40+ year olds who grew up with it.
ah yes jokaero, if harambe was a car mechanic and somehow always makes the car better than it was
"there are no good guys in warhammer 40K"-Some guy who never heard of the jokaero
Also the Yu'Vath are way scarier than the Umbra. They actually managed to CONQUER Chaos powers, the Warp and even enslaved chaos demons and put them into robots.
Are they from Old Hammer or is it still canon?
@@sadboy_otoroshi7692 old hammer, as in, not mentioned anymore. In-universe they were stomped by the Imperium during the great crusade (as the imperium isn't too fond of warp-using xenos), but relics from them are still around, passed around by rogue traders while the inquisition smashes every yu'vath thing they can find.. That can include warp-powered constructs that have a degree of sentience (one of the big theories for Astartes is that the spheres are of yu'vath origin, and it does match quite well)
And not sure if they "conquered" chaos, but they were EXTREMELY skilled with anything warp-related, to the point constructs powered by demons they made were both stable AND safe to use by the Yu'vath.
@@thorveim1174 if I remember right the creator of astartes confirmed the spheres aren't yu vath and are supposed to be original but he did accidentally make them very similar
As a malal fanatic I claim umbra for malice reasons, no one hates chaos more than the last surviving member of the old ones and no one wants revenge against chaos like malal.

"Mind Flayers from Final Fantasy"
I, as the person who never played FF and played DnD got real confused by this.
Yeah same
@@lazerhosen I think there is a dungeon boss in FFXIV that is a mindflayer
@@lazerhosen The tentacle dogs from D&D are Displacer Beasts.
The Watchers In The Dark are one of those little side-notes in 40k that make it so interesting. They never speak, they just wander around the Rock, being helpful. They are usually unacknowledged & ignored, but there are Standing Orders that no Watcher is ever to be harmed. Back in the day, a couple of initiate scouts tried to interfere with them & went missing. It appears that they are connected to the warp somehow, but they don't like Chaos and are immune to it's powers.. Daemons won't go near them.
If a Watcher shows that it wants to help a particular Dark Angel, it's seen as an honour and that that Marine is destined for greatness. Some of the senior officers sometimes have 5 or 6 of them following, in a little procession. They particularly like Librarians and there are always several Watchers in the Librarius, although no-one knows what they're doing in there.
Down in the lower levels of the Rock, where only the Watchers go, there is said to be a chamber. In that chamber is Lion El'Johnson, recovered from his wounds, but still in a coma. It is said that when the day comes that the Imperium is in need of him, it will be the Watchers In The Dark who wake him.
Maybe they're Deep Warp remnants
Still holding out hope for an Emperor’s Children episode!
They better mention Fabius Bile!
@@Zakvadr1995 you mean fabulous bile
@@adastial2104 yeah good old Bill!
No.
Give us Rylanor
Fun fact zotes are from an entire different galaxy. Meaning the possibility of even more weird and strange xeno to follow.
Follow up fact the watchers are not defenseless. Marines are told by their older brothers to not disturb them because all the ones who did soon after disappeared and were never found despite searching the entire rock.
Watchers seemingly teleport around the ship by disappearing behind a corner, and appearing at any place on the entire ship.
@@SkitariidesignationgB They are also voids in the warp, and can scare off powerful demons.
I feel like the Imperium Xenos Guide with all it's terrible advice must be a prank by the Laughing God.
Lets be real here, when we get around doing Iron Warriors we have to have do Imperial Fists first before that. Because we kinda need to understand who Rogal is as a person and his abilities and why that specifically made him live rent free within Perturabo's head.
He's certainly not living anywhere else now, is he? /j
He shall continue to fortify his position in the bald petulant man childs head that’s why his hand is here but the rest of him is living there.
"So when an umbra dies, they psychically scream images into the brains of anyone nearby, and finally the word:
*_LIGMA_* "
Slaanesh probably did do that to the last old one
As a point on the Umbra: The are not evil.
They are only agressive when attacked. At times, they have even been... indirectly helpful.
When humans get attacked by chaos and an umbra is in the vicinity, the warpspawn is in for a non-good time.
Even demons cast shadows and the greater the demon, the greater its shadow.
And whilst the shadows the human casts will also turn into things on a level with warp spawn, all those things will attack the unborn, and block attacks aimed at the humans.
Most likely to retain their solid space shadow sources. Unless the humans attack the Umbra and its shadows, then they're just the same on the killlist as the demon is.
IIRC the going theory on the Umbra is they're chunks of an Eldar deity. (think like the fragments used to summon the avatar of Khaine) This would explain why they're so brutally hostile to anything warpspawn and not directly aggressive until attacked otherwise.
I’ve heard they might be the Hrud deity.
The Jokaero are my personal favorites. Who doesn't love space Oragutans?
Reject humanity, become Jokaero

and then this comes up
i guess i get to learn more about monkeh
Should have talked about the emancipation of Drune. Imagina a xenos race strong enough to hold 3 primarchs at bay and almost killing them all. Wish there was more lore on those creatures
Well achtually about the interex. They were fervently AGAINST chaos. One of the species in their union was previously a chaos corrupted one. The interex beat them up, purged them of the taint, and then allowed them to integrate. The sword was an artifact of that species in a museum. Interestingly, the interex initially didnt like Horus or the Imperium, as they were worried it was Chaos corrupted, literally stating that the title "Warmaster" sounds chaosy af, which it does.
Horus managed to smooooze his way into a grand meeting with them on one of their planet. As a sign of good faith, both Luna Wolves and interex warriors stood guard together in pairs. Garviel Loken and an interex guard were chatting idly, the interex started mentioning why they didnt trust the imperium (what i wrote above). Garvriel is all like, "Idk wtf chaos is. What are you talking about?" and the interex guard is like, "REALLY? It's the greatest single enemy in existence! How can your imperium be so large and advanced and not know of it?" (Yeah, why Big E?) He gets all excited and says he has to run off to talk to his superiors; this hostility has all been a misunderstanding. Just as he's walking away he gets a call that the artifact was stolen. He turns and tells Loken, You lied! you are corrupted!
Long story short, Horus didn't understand why the interex suddenly turned on them and proceeds to make the Interex past-tense.
Thexians should slowly take over Tau society by joining their empire for memes
@@Goreofadream I am awake. The thing with nsleeping inside the rock was made up for fans and paparazis to not annoy me during my vacation on Catachan
I remember an excerpt from a book (forget which one) where the Changeling (an extremely powerful Daemon) infiltrated the Rock (not that one) and outwitted the Dark Angels...only to freeze when it saw a Watcher in the Dark. It could barely perceive the creature visually and described feeling something similar to what people exposed to Blanks experience, a void that generates a great feeling of unease and discomfort. The Changeling can't feel fear, but it felt the closest thing it could to it just by staring at the Watcher. It took a step back...then turned and fled in the other direction.
For context, the Changeling, a being that regularly pranks the Chaos Gods (like cutting Slaanesh's hair while he/she/it slept and placing a Nurgling whoopie cushion on Khorne's throne) took one look at this Jawa-looking thing and went "Nope!"
i'm kind of gutted that you didn't mention the Hrud they're one of my favorite NPC race
Its adpetus ridiculous, not adeptus everything
@@Northbravo well shit i didn't notice that thanks for letting me know
Special mentions go to the Hrud (time-warping worm people), the Stryxis (skaven in space), and Yu'Vath constructs (star of the show in the Astartes animations).
@@lazerhosen I don't care, they're Yu'vath.
It’s easy to forget their are other alien races that aren’t Orks, Eldar or Tyranids.
I thought the interex were anti chaos and they thought the imerium was chaos and the stollen knife was what made the interex fight imperium?
Came here to say this too. I believe the sword 🗡 was in a war museum as a thing from when they beat chaos
@@RtxtDriver Notably, when they trounced the Kinebranch, to the point of de-chaosing them. The blade was tainted, but Erebus made it fully chaos. Otherwise, nanomachines son.
Also they call it Kaos.
if I’m not mistaken the enslavers were born when the realm of souls turned into the warp and were so devastating they were a big reason why both the necrons and eldar went into hiding

Whenever I hear about an "Umbral" alien species, my mind automatically defaults to the Umbral Choir from Endless Space 2. I assume that the Umbra of 40k have less peaceful motives and even less pleasant music.
They just remind me of the gravitals
The Umbral Choir in 40k sounds like a very very awesome Idea, Imagine the Immediate reaction the Admech would have
I must humbly request an Iron Hands episode whenever you return to Imperial Chapters.
I got my White Scars episode, so you should get your Iron Hands one - updooting :)
Who?
@@relms140 White Scars are awesome. If I wasn't set on Iron Hands, I'd probably be using a White Scars successor chapter.
I hope to eventually see an episode on mah bois, the Crimson Fists. We have the incredible honor of gracing the cover of the OG Rogue Trader rule book and we’re still coming back from the brink of extinction.
Pretty sure they're the only chapter on a metal album as well.
The umbra reminds me of critical roles one shot of the Crystal Palace, a setting of a black crystal sphere holding an ethereal nightmare shadow monster is awesomely terrifying but would be great to have as a battlefield modifier for tabletop
honestly thought The Umbra were the ball creatures from Astartes........may be right, dunno but if they are then that sheds some light on it, if only a little
If I remember correctly, the Watcher’s in the dark were the guardian spirits of the forests of Caliban. They’re tied to the Lion because they actually found his pod when it crashed in the great forest. They helped Lion El Johnson survive in the forest when he was child, because they knew how important he was got the future. They basically moved to the Rock, and the other ships of the dark angels as Caliban was being destroyed, because they didn’t want to die, and have the ability to teleport themselves long distances.

I do not know why but the "AVAILABLE NOW" cracked me up something fierce
The best part about making fan art of Umbra is that you get to experience what the Umbra are like as GW's lawyers spawn from the darkness to bury you in lawsuits.
YOOOOO MONKEEEE
One fun watchers in the dark bit was when the changeling was on a dark angels ship (I think it was the Rock) on the run from grey knights and dark angels, when it rounds a corner and sees one of the watchers. It is absolutely horrified by the watcher's existence and goes a completely different way to avoid it.
Bricky: Be the change you want to see my dude!
GW: I'd like to see you try..
*about to call their lawyers*
I fucking love me some Xenos, personally find them a ton cooler than any imperium or chaos faction. If ever there would be a new army released I hope they make more awesome whacky alien bullshit
THIS SOUNDS LIKE HERASY ! just jk some look sick af
Yeah, it's been about twenty years since the introduction of the Tau, the last new faction for Warhammer 40k, and other than the Genestealer Cults, every other new sub-faction has been from Chaos or the Imperium. I would love to see either the Hrud or Rak'Gol become their own faction, or at least a Tau auxiliary sub-faction.
HERESY
I think its important to point out that there are chaos vampires. They are cannon. They are in 40k.
Aren't those just crazed blood angels?
@@BLOODKINGbro No. But I have to admit, after checking wiki I realized they are not chaos vampires but warp vampires. They are warp entities.
The Watchers in the Dark are just the Squats (this is not a serious idea)
I'd believe it
They are immune to psychic attacks because of pure dwarvish stubborness
"Truck spills dice, *deals 216,000d6 bludgeoning damage to freeway"*
An initial idea for the Umbra being a terrain effect could be "whenever a model ends its movement phase in shadow they are attacked by an Umbra." You would need to stat the Umbras attacks and determine what would count as "in shadow". But it could be worked on.
I think my favorite minor Xenos species are probably the Jokaero because I like the whole being designed to be essentially engineers thing or The Sslyth because snake people are dope lol/
Also, not gonna lie; the Gura picture in the background had me laughing pretty hard lol.
One phrase comes to mind concerning the umbra
"Hey who turned out the lights?"
Here you go Bricky.
"This podcast are very Shy-llow." *que music*
I would literally ascend if they made an updated Jokaero model
Keep in mind that firstborns are out of scale on the table top so that watcher is closer to half a human's size. Put him next to a primaris which is what firstborns are said to be as tall as and he'll probably be a 3rd the height.

How to make an Umbra model: Spraypaint pingpong ball matte-black, put it on clear plastic elevating stand.
I have no codex for them but here are the instructions to build an Umbral mini take a marble cover it in glue and roll it over a pile of diced up sprues and unused bits from other minis then paint it in shades of black.
The Watchers in the Dark are pretty much what the name says. Before Caliban was destroyed, it was extremely close to the Eye of Terror. Those Watchers kept an eye on Chaos beast called the Ouraborus that was inside Caliban. They pretty much made sure Chaos didn't get too out of hand on Caliban, but thanks to Luther reading books he shouldn't have, he ruined Caliban and may have released said beast into the warp or somewhere in real space. So pretty much they only show themselves to people who they think are worthy of knowing the secret they guarded and that they can trust. Hence why Cypher always escapes. The Lion knew about them. I like to think they watched over The Lion when he was all by himself in the forests of Caliban.
Umbra's are actually quite common, inhabiting almost every corner and place within the Galaxy.
You just never see them because they are as black as the space they inhabit.
But that's just a thought.

The Rak'gul look like what the chaos deamons would look like if Game's Workshop had given the design task to Guillermo Del Toro
26:10 When they attributed Mind Flayers to Final Fantasy instead of Dungeons and Dragon, a piece of my soul died.
I’m suprised Bricky didn’t mention that Enslavers are the leading suspects in the reason why there are lost Primarchs.
Real fast some info on the Kinebrach:
1.) They weren't chaos based. They were a xenos with advanced technology.
2.) They weren't dying off. They went to war with the Interex and lost, and accepted a truce so they could co-exist, since the Interex are nice.
3. The blade Horus was stabbed with wasn't poisoned by the Kinebrach. The follower of Nurgle who had it whispered Horus's name to the blade, which is essentially a sentient artifact that kills whoever's name is spoken to it, to the best of it's ability. A simple follower of Nurgle nearly bested the strongest Primarch with it.
They are like Krogans
*shows picture of Klingons*
@@lazerhosen I don't know so much about Klingons but I mean Krogans are just ridiculous, don't see that much resemblance tbh
@@lazerhosen I see where you're coming from, I was thinking strictly about their anatomy
