I've been playing and reading about 40K for over a decade now and there's still fairly well-developed species that I have never heard of before! 40K is truly a unique universe. No other sci-fi setting is more well-developed than 40K!
The diversity is my favorite characteristic of 40K; every planet, space station and merchant fleet has its own race, history and culture that all fits together like a crazy 4D mosaic.
Star Wars, Star Trek, literally any sci-fi novel series that includes multiple non human species. 40K STRONK sure but it is a massive mishmash of bits of every other sci-fi universe that predates rogue trader, many of which are universes just as diverse and developed as 40K, some more so for any that go extra-galactic or multiversal.
I'll bet that siphoning energy from the Warp for real-space uses attracted the attention of the Ruinous Powers because doing so weakens them in the long term. Nice play, Inquisition!

@Zig Zag I already had commented on Astarte's and reactions saying it was the yu vath days before arch made a video, and a few other people commented aswell so no it wasn't him the first to come up with it
@@alexmag342 He didn't say that Arch was the only one to come up with it, merely pointing it out. Either way it doesn't matter, We all get a surge of relevant content
Didn't the author state that the spheres in Astartes Part Five were an original creation of his and had nothing to do with actual lore? There was a leaked e-mail to that effect. It's nothing new. The Yu'Vath have nothing to do with it and Arch surely knows this, since many people commented on it since the release of the last episode.
Is it possible perhaps that the Yu'vath were unknowingly favored by the chaos gods? Chaos looked at them and saw an adorable puppy, and therefore allowed them to do more than others civs could?
My video of the Astartes Analysis was influenced by Arch and I also jumped on the Yu'Vath race theory, all went well until the ASTARTES Creator said that his xenos/daemon antagonists have NOTHING to do with previous 40K lore. Alas...
For having nothing to do with Previous 40k Lore.......his Xenos do bare an amazing resemblance to the Yu'Vath. This is like someone doing a Predator fan film and the antagonist strangely resemble the Aliens/Xenomorphs

@@Ami-vh7sr I said it before and I will say it again. Astartes is a piece of unquestionable ART. As a piece of art, the beholder can observe this piece from more than one perspective without knowing the artist original intention or message. Everything pointed at the Yu'Vath, however "Canon" says its not. Still makes for a cool alternative story!
Well they were honest about that little bit at least. Could compare it kinda to way more potent version of nuclear power I guess, safe as long as you weren't exposed too much to it.
If i remember correctly the warp was much calmer before the birth of Slaanesh. Considering that, during that time the Yu'Vath technology would have been much safer than it is in modern 40k. Still not safe mind you, but safer at least.
A plausible way to interpret the Yu’Vath would be something like: In the distant past, before The War in Heaven, there was a society that can be called the ancient Yu’Vath. In that era, the warp was calm and they developed unfathomably advanced technologies powered by warp energy. Many of these warp powered technologies were sentient or virtually sentient. Something happened and the ancient Yu’Vath left the known universe. No way to know if they were killed or just left. However, many of their constructs were left behind. Over the eons, most were destroyed, but some survived long enough to be discovered by human explorer’s during the Age of Technology. By that point using the warp was far more dangerous than when the Yu’Vath built their things. So, the technology had been substantially corrupted by this point. when the humans began to interface with the alien devices, they granted great power to their users, but their special flavor of corruption began to set in. Before any information regarding these events made it back to the rest of humanity, the Eldar festivities reached their climax, resulting in their nearly species wide apotheosis and full on warp insanity. Once isolated, the certain adventurous humans fully embraced, bonded with, and were corrupted by the Yu’Vath technology to quickly evolve into the modern Yu’Vath. These modern Yu’Vath are the entities that produced the civilization that the Imperial Crusade later destroyed. Thus, all the evidence regarding behavior and physiology were based on studies of the modern Yu’Vath and reveal nothing about the nature of the ancient Yu’Vath.
I do like the way you wrote the explanation, We do know that the Ancients Had A incredible knowledge of the Warp and how to use it, and it certainly wasn't the roiling semi-Sentient mess it is in the 41th millennium
Sounds good but has the technology still worked and these planets haven't been overrun by demons. Poking so many hole in the imaterium should be a bonfire to any demon in the northern half of the Galaxy. A single planet could have more warp connections than the whole Imperium. Most likely they haven't been very aggressive or otherwise the imperium wouldn't have won with such a tiny armada when your enemy is facing excitation and has multiple planets to draw resources from plus highly advanced technology.

Oh, that hack who speaks like a robot? His lore videos really annoyed the hell out of me. I had more fun reading the wiki itself than listening to him read it to me.
My personal head cannon has always been that they predated the demons and chaos gods. That they developed their tech before the demons and that they then left the galaxy when demons started appearing. When they finally learned how to harness daemons, and probably because of the Zerg rush that was happening around them at the edges of the galaxy then ended up reentering the galaxy. Needless to say, I don't think they were killed off entirely, at least not yet.
Astartes 5 was amazing! Me: Does a lot of research on Astartes 5 theorizing with day one information. Looked at C'tan shards, psyker stuff. warp entities, the betrayer and the like. xeno races that used the wrap or orb artifacts, and found a short written page of the Yu'Vath. like only a 2 minute read mentioning the Yu'Vath. A week later* Arch Warhammer: 35 minute video. The massive lore with 40k warhammer has let to seize to amaze me.
I know you have a lot on your plate Arch (and we appreciate the work you do), but I would love for you to do a series of lore videos on Legion Worlds. There is so little dedicated materials describing the history, culture, geography, etc. of all of the first founding worlds. For example. Macragg is one of the most important worlds in the Imperium but I still struggle to find materials about it. The only worlds I know of in any detail are Terra, Nocturne and Armageddon. It would be especially interesting to have dedicated videos about some traitor worlds like Cthonia, Culchess, and Olympia. Thanks for all the great vids!
Question: couldn't they be warp entities who, somehow, found a way to remain in the material universe? This would be extremely rare (akin to the pariah gene), which would explain why there are so few in numbers. It would also explain their extreme proficiency in Warp based tech and all manners of Warp based powers. Of course it's just a mere speculation, since we know very little about them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the main reason the Immaterium in the WH40k galaxy is so distinctly fucked up is because of the War in Heaven and the Old One's many colorful attempts to weaponize said plane. Before that war, the Warp was (relatively) benign yes? If that's the case, then it stands to reason that Warp-based technology would be far less hazardous to develop in some other galaxy...and might explain why an extra-galactic civilization based on said tech would quickly fall into decline when trying to stake a claim in the WH40k galaxy.
Or maybe the xenos plan is so nefarious and cunning that they managed to convince the guy creating the Astartes videos in to thinking that his is an original idea... They seem quite good at that kind of thing...
@@jacobfreeman5444 Well they were in the warp for about 30 seconds before transported to that planet. At the end you can see all 5 of them blink on the pillars. So they ain't dead just yet, and visions could be read wrong.
It's the Ordo Chronos. Those filthy heretics have been commenting early for years now. They insist that they use some 'Patron', method, but it's really just warp fuckery.
If this isn't a joke then... More like how in the emperor's name don't you know about youtubers using patreon and subscribestar so people who pay get early access to videos by keeping them as a link to view only on a page you have to pay money to see. Seriously... Countless youtubers have been doing this for years.
I’m of the belief that they weren’t of the milky way or they are much more well hidden than we think because having only a handful of Yu’Vath able to control multiple systems of the galaxy is strange. Either they were all that’s left of the species or they weren’t the main civilization. Both explain why there were so few actual Yu’Vath in the galaxy.
Interesting thing about those "Whisperers". Doesn't that sounds a lot like the Tyrant Star? It is another phenomenon in the Calixis sector. Maybe it is just a really big Whisperer? Maybe it is a doomsday weapon that works particulary slowly and deliberately?
Ah yes, the Yu'Vath. They power their machinery with pure Warp energy, their computers run with Demon Vista and their ships are basically random structures kept together by tethers of Warp energy as well. But now to the interesting things about them... ^^
as if infecting your AI with Satan is bad enough.. its also an atom bomb.. i love how he started to talk normal after the little laugh (for about tree seconds) to explain how insane they were....
So the Yu'Vath took the Romulan idea to have a black hole within each ship and topped it with the dangers of the warp and added a good deal of Skaven carelessness?
I think it would be a cool small detail to somehow link the knowledge of rogue A.I to the concept of why they chose demons to host their technology instead of perfecting A.I and hence may have foresaw a species willing to go far enough to find out the hard way.
If the Yu'Vath are truly extra-galatic, might it be that in their home galaxy the warp is not in as much turmoil as it is in our most holy of galaxies? Allowing the warp to be harnessed easily and without danger. This also being the reason that they have not succeeded in this Galaxy, their technology being much to dangerous to create and use, completely destroying them as they did.

So yeah, on the face of it, the Tyrannids are just looking for more biomass, but what if they are here because they are fleeing or fighting off an enemy in another galaxy as suggested by Koen? That is more like what GW has done with the lore over the years. It means new factions, lore, and models to sell.
@@genericpersonx333 I think you mean new factions and lore that will never see the light of tabletop because GW is selling superer superer super soldiers.

Yu'Vath Network Security Operator: Yeah, sure, let me just share my screen.
Yu'Vath Firewall Specialist: Ah, here's the trouble. You seem to be running a Bloodthirster as an OS. You do know Bloodthirsters are not listed as compatible by the manufacturer, right?
Yu'Vath Network Security Operator: Yes, yes. I am aware. Unfortunately we recently took over the network from the previous management team and just recently discovered the issue.

I've been playing and reading about 40K for over a decade now and there's still fairly well-developed species that I have never heard of before!
40K is truly a unique universe. No other sci-fi setting is more well-developed than 40K!
SDF Macross: laughs in communal hive mind bugs that make Tyranids look small by comparison and Eldritch horrors that drain life forces for sustenance.
The diversity is my favorite characteristic of 40K; every planet, space station and merchant fleet has its own race, history and culture that all fits together like a crazy 4D mosaic.
Star Wars, Star Trek, literally any sci-fi novel series that includes multiple non human species. 40K STRONK sure but it is a massive mishmash of bits of every other sci-fi universe that predates rogue trader, many of which are universes just as diverse and developed as 40K, some more so for any that go extra-galactic or multiversal.

Someone is riding the Astartes hypewave, I see
Arch came up with the idea that it's the Yu'Vath in Astartes so I don't think that's the ONLY reason.
@Zig Zag I already had commented on Astarte's and reactions saying it was the yu vath days before arch made a video, and a few other people commented aswell so no it wasn't him the first to come up with it
@@alexmag342 He didn't say that Arch was the only one to come up with it, merely pointing it out. Either way it doesn't matter, We all get a surge of relevant content
Didn't the author state that the spheres in Astartes Part Five were an original creation of his and had nothing to do with actual lore? There was a leaked e-mail to that effect. It's nothing new.
The Yu'Vath have nothing to do with it and Arch surely knows this, since many people commented on it since the release of the last episode.
@Cole Sultemeier yes he did "Arch came up with the idea that it's the Yu'Vath in Astartes", but I agree with the latter
Is it possible perhaps that the Yu'vath were unknowingly favored by the chaos gods? Chaos looked at them and saw an adorable puppy, and therefore allowed them to do more than others civs could?
That is now how chaos works, at all.
Enlighten us, oh lore master! Enlighten us on precisely how to kill this particular batch of warp tainted xenos abominations.

@@jehovasabettor9080 Khane disagrees with you.
My video of the Astartes Analysis was influenced by Arch and I also jumped on the Yu'Vath race theory, all went well until the ASTARTES Creator said that his xenos/daemon antagonists have NOTHING to do with previous 40K lore.
Alas...
Unfortunate indeed. Killing speculation in the egg is saddening.
For having nothing to do with Previous 40k Lore.......his Xenos do bare an amazing resemblance to the Yu'Vath. This is like someone doing a Predator fan film and the antagonist strangely resemble the Aliens/Xenomorphs
good effort nonetheless

Astartes is a piece of unquestionable ART. As a piece of art, the beholder can observe this piece from more than one perspective without knowing the artist original intention or message.
Everything pointed at the Yu'Vath, however "Canon" says its not.
Still makes for a cool alternative story!
So, 40k's version of UAC from Doom?
Argent energy is safe, c'mon guys!
Well they were honest about that little bit at least. Could compare it kinda to way more potent version of nuclear power I guess, safe as long as you weren't exposed too much to it.
@@Ghostly_One1 The UAC is like an army created by a Radical Inquisitor, damning themselves to fight the enemy on equal footing.

Nooooo! You can’t just destroy the argent filters humanity needs them!
Haha foot go smash
If i remember correctly the warp was much calmer before the birth of Slaanesh. Considering that, during that time the Yu'Vath technology would have been much safer than it is in modern 40k. Still not safe mind you, but safer at least.
A plausible way to interpret the Yu’Vath would be something like:
In the distant past, before The War in Heaven, there was a society that can be called the ancient Yu’Vath. In that era, the warp was calm and they developed unfathomably advanced technologies powered by warp energy. Many of these warp powered technologies were sentient or virtually sentient. Something happened and the ancient Yu’Vath left the known universe. No way to know if they were killed or just left. However, many of their constructs were left behind.
Over the eons, most were destroyed, but some survived long enough to be discovered by human explorer’s during the Age of Technology. By that point using the warp was far more dangerous than when the Yu’Vath built their things. So, the technology had been substantially corrupted by this point. when the humans began to interface with the alien devices, they granted great power to their users, but their special flavor of corruption began to set in. Before any information regarding these events made it back to the rest of humanity, the Eldar festivities reached their climax, resulting in their nearly species wide apotheosis and full on warp insanity.
Once isolated, the certain adventurous humans fully embraced, bonded with, and were corrupted by the Yu’Vath technology to quickly evolve into the modern Yu’Vath. These modern Yu’Vath are the entities that produced the civilization that the Imperial Crusade later destroyed. Thus, all the evidence regarding behavior and physiology were based on studies of the modern Yu’Vath and reveal nothing about the nature of the ancient Yu’Vath.
I do like the way you wrote the explanation,
We do know that the Ancients Had A incredible knowledge of the Warp and how to use it, and it certainly wasn't the roiling semi-Sentient mess it is in the 41th millennium
Look up the Halo Artifacts and how they grant "immortality"
I like this explanation, at least
Sounds good but has the technology still worked and these planets haven't been overrun by demons. Poking so many hole in the imaterium should be a bonfire to any demon in the northern half of the Galaxy. A single planet could have more warp connections than the whole Imperium.
Most likely they haven't been very aggressive or otherwise the imperium wouldn't have won with such a tiny armada when your enemy is facing excitation and has multiple planets to draw resources from plus highly advanced technology.
The Yu'Vath: the 40K justification for half the crap Player Characters pull.
"There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it. But let's keep going to see what happens."
Honestly your videos are the most fun I've ever had while collecting information on any type of lore ever.
There are millions of other celestial and non celestial beings out there that are mentioned in lore but we will see some new races come to 40k

We're all part of a vex simulation
@@maxnovakovics2568 most likely.
My personal head cannon has always been that they predated the demons and chaos gods. That they developed their tech before the demons and that they then left the galaxy when demons started appearing. When they finally learned how to harness daemons, and probably because of the Zerg rush that was happening around them at the edges of the galaxy then ended up reentering the galaxy. Needless to say, I don't think they were killed off entirely, at least not yet.

Awsome, I miss the other alien races
I know you have a lot on your plate Arch (and we appreciate the work you do), but I would love for you to do a series of lore videos on Legion Worlds. There is so little dedicated materials describing the history, culture, geography, etc. of all of the first founding worlds. For example. Macragg is one of the most important worlds in the Imperium but I still struggle to find materials about it. The only worlds I know of in any detail are Terra, Nocturne and Armageddon. It would be especially interesting to have dedicated videos about some traitor worlds like Cthonia, Culchess, and Olympia.
Thanks for all the great vids!
So thats where the Spaceballs went!
I ordered your mug and I just got it today! Looks awesome

Question: couldn't they be warp entities who, somehow, found a way to remain in the material universe? This would be extremely rare (akin to the pariah gene), which would explain why there are so few in numbers. It would also explain their extreme proficiency in Warp based tech and all manners of Warp based powers.
Of course it's just a mere speculation, since we know very little about them.

In light of your Astartes review, this is a great follow up
7:42 he must be talking about a planet called europe. 🤔
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the main reason the Immaterium in the WH40k galaxy is so distinctly fucked up is because of the War in Heaven and the Old One's many colorful attempts to weaponize said plane. Before that war, the Warp was (relatively) benign yes? If that's the case, then it stands to reason that Warp-based technology would be far less hazardous to develop in some other galaxy...and might explain why an extra-galactic civilization based on said tech would quickly fall into decline when trying to stake a claim in the WH40k galaxy.
last time i was this early i could leave the house
for some reason the thought of getting together with fellow guardsmen and burning some books at an aliens at a bbq seems unironically wholesome to me.

I believe Nascent is pronounced Naysent.
That will be all from your local Grammar Commissar
I’m of the belief that they weren’t of the milky way or they are much more well hidden than we think because having only a handful of Yu’Vath able to control multiple systems of the galaxy is strange. Either they were all that’s left of the species or they weren’t the main civilization. Both explain why there were so few actual Yu’Vath in the galaxy.
"North...galaxy...."
Those two words don't belong in the same sentence.
Not literally, but in 40K they do talk of the 'galactic north', the 'eastern fringes of the galaxy' etc.
Interesting thing about those "Whisperers". Doesn't that sounds a lot like the Tyrant Star?
It is another phenomenon in the Calixis sector. Maybe it is just a really big Whisperer? Maybe it is a doomsday weapon that works particulary slowly and deliberately?
Ah yes, the Yu'Vath. They power their machinery with pure Warp energy, their computers run with Demon Vista and their ships are basically random structures kept together by tethers of Warp energy as well. But now to the interesting things about them... ^^
I see Astartes 5 reinvigorated good old Arch to new hights.
great vid.
They believed that they could do this. Thus they could.
The Yu'Vath were just really good at believing.
Yu'vath are orks confirmed
With their level of mastery over the warp, I wonder if they could just dispel any warpstorms in their way
"They infused their computer with Satan." That was funny, but I love the "glass butt plug" thing lol.
"40k's equivalent as a Windows Vista boot disc." Good God!
I feel like you can get rule 34 out of just the imagery Arch describes.
as if infecting your AI with Satan is bad enough.. its also an atom bomb.. i love how he started to talk normal after the little laugh (for about tree seconds) to explain how insane they were....
Pffft, I used Zeus own lighting to cook me some eggs this morning. Everything is feasible with the proper level of technology
If you start having creepy dreams and hearing whispers in the 40th millenium, who are you going to tell that wint just kill you.
Oooooh finally, after watching Astartes I wanted to know about the Yu'Vath.
So the Yu'Vath took the Romulan idea to have a black hole within each ship and topped it with the dangers of the warp and added a good deal of Skaven carelessness?
Maybe, as the Yu'vath have some...form of connection to the warp, their civilization exists in multiple dimensions
Xenos + Warp = DOUBLE HERESY
I think it would be a cool small detail to somehow link the knowledge of rogue A.I to the concept of why they chose demons to host their technology instead of perfecting A.I and hence may have foresaw a species willing to go far enough to find out the hard way.
If the Yu'Vath are truly extra-galatic, might it be that in their home galaxy the warp is not in as much turmoil as it is in our most holy of galaxies? Allowing the warp to be harnessed easily and without danger. This also being the reason that they have not succeeded in this Galaxy, their technology being much to dangerous to create and use, completely destroying them as they did.
