Some things Bricky didn't mention: Nurgle is also about rebirth and cycles. Once something dies and rots, it breeds new life such as diseases, maggots, and other things of that nature. Nurgle and his followers see his diseases as gifts. He's also referred to as Grandfather as well as he actually does genuinely love his followers and none of them can actually feel pain. Also, my man, your laugh is contagious and its always awesome to see newcomers who want to learn more about the world and it's factions
he is also about equality and "final justice", because no matter where you come from, rich or poor, weak or strong,.... you all end up the same. Rot takes all
One way to get a cheap army sometimes is people will sell whole armies they don’t play anymore on eBay. If you don’t like the paint scheme you can just paint over it.
When it comes to minis, my personal fav is Angron's newest model. He's the Primarch of the World Eaters legion and they fell to Khorne. Angron's story is also one of my favorites. Such a tragic tale that could've been avoided if the Emperor was a better father lol. World Eater models fairly recently got updates and look way cooler than before. Angron's model is just * chef's kiss* Side tangent: Bricky kinda messed up his description of Angron. For context, all the primarchs were scattered as children and landed on different worlds. And Angron landed on Nuceria, a planet of basically a more advanced Rome. Angron was captured by slavers and was forced to fight in gladiatorial combat. When he refused to duel his only father figure in his life at this point, his masters implanted the "butcher's nails" into his brain which meant that he would feel constant pain if he felt any emotion other than anger. His sanity was shattered and the nails would basically give him a "high" every time he was slaughtering something. So combat was his only real escape from the pain
After this, we usually direct newcomers to Bricky's "Every Space Marine Legion Explained" video. Looking forward to your reaction to it, and discovering this franchise in general.
One thing about the Craftwold Eldar (aka Asuryani) and one of the things I find most interesting about them that wasn't mentioned here about the is how their society is structured around the Path system. Each Eldar society is defined by how they avoid Slaanesh, and the Craftworlders do it by each choosing a role (called a path) in their Craftworld and dedicating themselves fully to its mastery before moving on to another to ward off temptation. Many of the Craftworld units and characters are defined by the paths they have previously walked, Warlocks for example (the eldar mages shown in a bunch of the art) have to have walked the path of the warrior and the Seer before becoming a warlock.
I like to see the Tau as newcomers that discover how messed up their galaxy is. Like those that opened a dreadnought for studying and realised that this enraged and tortured leftover of a human is older than their entire civilisation. Must mindblowing! I just love this aspect of them. Everyone as fallen once, they just didn't fall yet.
Trazyn is great - when the whole galaxy is at war, he is like "War? What war? I'm building a museum here!" He is the collector of the most awesome and weird stuff. He has Krorks, he has pieces of Necrontyr (most likely - his own) flesh, has whole units of Space Marines, Guard, some Custodes, Perfect Clone of Primarch Fulgrim, Tyranid Hive "of funny size". He has a whole planet cored and turned into unending galleries of curious artifacts. He has whole scenes and battles held in temporal loops so he can observe them over and over. He is a maniac when comes to collecting and is not above using his forces to obtain some specific artifact or person. He once proposed to Imperium that he take the Golden Throne with the Emperor to his museum... Of course, Imperium said no. But he surely will love to steal it...
Something ill say about orks is that its probably the best fun you can have playing Warhammer. Ive been collecting them for a few years now and have almost 300 models. My favourite aspect has to be using multiple different model kits to make customised models that add a huge personal flair to my army. Orks gives you alot of freedom in terms of playstyle and building the models
I think Orks are the easiest to kit bash, because the "thrown together" look is on brand for the faction. I love this, because people with a decent sized Ork army are usually packed with those custom characters, troops, and vehicles. Orks are my favorite faction to see other people's armies for.
Tau are not that nice. They are heavily divided into casts - to the point of genetic drift into subspecies. Also all those alien races? Sure, they are part of their Empire... But even lower than all casts. Tau is not above manipulating other races. Tau is not above using them as cannon fodder. Tau meeting new race is like "Hello! We bring you Greater Good! Do not resist!" They met a race of insect people who they were not able to talk with - oh, why not construct helmets to override their minds to communicate with them? What do you mean we just brainwash them like that? They are our friends now!
Thousand Sons (K-sons) Rubric Marines: That's the name of the chaos space Marine unit that you were interested in. A squad will run you about $65 to $70 Canadian. So about 50 to 60 American. A squad I believe contains 10 models with upgrades for lieutenants and/or sorcerers. Cheers. -Alpharious-
Harlequins are much more than "killer clowns" - they are bards of Eldars, keepers of stories, and artists. They see the world as a stage and play. Especially battle - they treat it as theatre - filling every move, shot, or stab with as many meanings and theatrics as possible. Cuts of swords on enemy bodies turn them into artistic "flowers", the last line of the poem is recited to the face of the dying enemy, a song sung in the rhythm of a heart freshly cut from the enemy. All connected to Eldar history and myth. The most dangerous act is the story of the Fall. Because that means one who will play the role of Slaanesh. That puts that Harlequin on verge of calling actual chaotic demons onto the battle. Because of that they are both avoided and revered - called Solitaires. There are only a few of them and stories say they are on par with human Primarchs when comes to fighting, and their minds are so fortified mentally against Chaos and Warp, they are "blank-like".
I highly suggest you check more videos on the orks. 40k orks are one of the most beloved races by the fanbase due to their sheer insanity. If you want some lore on one specific ork, I either suggest a vid on Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thrakka "The Prophet of Gork and Mork" or the vid on Tuska Daemon Killa by Arch. Both are rather infamous orks, especially the former
If you are looking to play 40k cheap, I would recommend Kill Team. It's a skirmish level game in the 40k setting using the same models, focusing on single squads instead of whole armies, meaning most factions can have a playable force with a single box of minis.
Also, the subreddit r/miniswap. At its worst, it is the same price as the stuff you find on ebay, but I trust the sellers on the sub way more than ebay sellers. At best, you can get some steals off of there. Lots of members have a deep and broad bits bin or a huge pile of shame they are willing to part with.
Craftworld Eldar has something called "soulstones" - basically a trap for the soul. In case of death, it catches the soul of Eldar just before Slaanesh can eat it. It's the worst insult and horrifying for the Eldars to destroy soulstone with the soul inside. There is a limited source of soulstones on some planets in Eye of Terror - so not only there is little of them, but gathering more is literally - hellish dangerous. Then those souls are collected in Infinity Circuits on Craftworlds. Those are like a "makeshift afterlife" for them - they sometimes serve with advice to the living. In the worst-case scenario, those souls can be put into battle machines called Wrights (mostly walkers and spaceships) - but it is seen as basically insulting the dead, and Eldar souls themselves feel trapped inside those.
As someone else said. If you want to dip your toe into the 40k hobby, then I highly recommend starting with 1 model you just love for whatever reason, and paint that. Pick it based on ‘the rule of cool’ and what you are drawn to. If you find you enjoy the process and want to improve and do more, then give ‘Kill Team’ a go. It’s a small squad v squad skirmish game rather the army v army scale of 40k proper. You can have a full kill team to play with from one box of 5-10 individual models. The KT models can all be used in 40k proper too.
Loved the vid. I enjoy reactions to Warhammer lore from an perspective outside of the hobby. I'd love to see you react to Luetin09's "ORKS - WAR IS HELL" here on youtube for some more insight to orks in this setting. Also give Warrior Tier's "Ogryn story" a watch. It's story from an Ogryn's perspective who are a subspecies of large humans that have the mental capacity of children, but are intensely loyal to protecting regular humans around them. It's really short, really well done and most people reacting to it can't help to me moved.
He has "Ever Space Marines Legion Explained" and "Warhammer 40k Timeline". In a similar style, there is also "The Horus Heresy in under 9 minutes" by Sandman of Terra.
Some context about the dark eldar and the orks: 1. The dark eldar aren't necessarily forced to commit their horrific acts. You see the eldar have these devices called a soul stones and while i don't know the details, i know that it keeps eldar souls from being devoured by slaneesh. Due to this, it can be easily assumed that the dark eldar commit their horrific acts simply for their own amusement and indulgment with their senses. Its basically like an addictive drug to them, which is why that if there is any faction in 40k i have no sympathy/respect for, its the dark eldar. As for the orks: Since didn't really make it clear, orks have the power of orkish belief where if enough orks believe in something, it comes true, though it only works to certain degree. This why chaos daemons are scared of orks, because when an ork defeats them, the orks believe they're gone for good, so they are. Also, i heard that if you defeat a daemon that's currently in the warp, they're also permanently gone.
I have two armies, i play necrons and death guard. Yes, collecting the armies to ply tablebtop is costly, i bought models one at a time over time, you can still find friends and just play small scale games and just work your way up.
Bricky didn't cover it in the Video but there is a 4th major event, (When he made the video it had just happen), the 13th Black Crusade & the Fall of Cadia. when Abbadon split the Galaxy in half
Your resident commission miniature painter here again, highly recommend you check out the Space Marine Legions explained video by Bricky, it'll give you more insights into the legions as a whole and their motivations in the 40k setting. Though I've painted a lot of models in the setting I absolutely enjoy the aesthetics of the World Eaters and the Space Wolves. Both are expected to get new models in the near future and have cool signature models that are fun to play in game. Can't deny how cool the Orks are as well though so I definitely recommend checking out those models as well. Who knows, maybe you'll let me paint one for you. Cheers man ✌️🐺
"Expensive" is a really subjective thing. If you would buy whole army that is worth 2000points on table top (units, vehicles, characters,.... all have value in points. generaly stronger ones are worth more points and weaker ones less. that is a way the armies are balanced. opponents would agree on fighting cca 500v500, 1000v1000,.... and its up to them how they spend those points) all at once, it is going to be very expensive. But thats not the way most people do this. I have been collecting my 2 armies (Alpha Legion for chaos and Death Spectres for loyalist space marines) for several years now, i usually buy one box every one or two months and than spend weeks custommising every model in a squad and when its spread like this it is not bad. Most hobbies take some investment and i even spend more money on PC games and cigarettes than on Warhammer. And after like 3-4 years i have 2 solid 1500 points armies, 1 kill team and several display pieces
Also something he didn't mention about Korn is that throne he sits on he legit can't leave it cause his paralyzed from the waist down after a fight with one of the other chaso gods...Also ORKS ARE BEST KRUMP THE REST!
So to put it into the layman’s terms, in the warp it is absolutely and completely irrelevant and yet it is still relevant by its name and definition (CHAOS) or the realm of chaos where a single step in the warp could either result in you taking a normal step in real world space and time or it could result in you say taking a hundred or a thousand years into the past or future or even to the point where what was for you a single step wouldn’t be happened an entire century would have passed by in a blink of an eye, all the while it’s denizens are equivalent to say fish where a shark may be one of the top predators in the ocean and are nightmare fuel, but a shark can only live for so long on land and the same principles apply to the creatures of the warp where yes they have the power to alter reality or physics to their whims to the point where it looks more like magic than anything else but is in reality the complete and utter collapse of reality itself, laws have no values, time has no purposes and space has no place. But as powerful as they are, demons or sharks in this case are only able to survive outside the sea of souls by transplanting themselves into a living vessel via possession who unfortunately ends up as a sort of living aquarium for said shark
He's actually wrong about the Starcraft thing (well high chances to be fair). Long story short Warcraft was supposed to be a Warhammer Fantasy game but both companies where not really feeling it, so it fell through. Internet problem with Starcraft is, there are interviews you can find sighting one of Blizzard's co-founders stating this was the case. In StarCraft's case it's all hearsay. Plus, the 2 games were released 4 years apart and Blizzard's team wasn't cool with just making someone else's IP anyways so why would they just agree to the same mess again? So bit of unfounded rumor at this point. At least to me. Regardless I do think they were.... inspired by 40k let's say. Still a good game. Well until Star Craft 2 Legacy of the Void expansion where the plot goes wonky, but I don't like late franchise Blizzard writing.
@@formattedorc There are many different videos on UA-cam, but trailers are released every 3 months, so videos with all trailers are often outdated. This video is the most relevant - ua-cam.com/video/kzQRjgA7yqg/v-deo.html
In some ways I'd even argue that it's MORE interesting. The much smaller scale, and the greater variety of alignment makes for much more interesting stories. It's no longer "everyone is mega-evil, choose how evil you wanna be," instead there are plenty of factions doing evil or at least very questionable things for pretty understandable reasons. And the fact that it's all set on a single not-Earth planet (with a donut) means that there can be much more of a focus on characters, especially those who might get overlooked. Also, Fantasy has dinosaur super-soldiers riding other dinosaurs armed with solar cannons, under the guidance of 9 billion IQ giga-brain frog wizards and dinosaur super-soldier heroes so insanely strong that they kinda just 'became' demigods. And rats. Many rats.
