No one who died in the service of our Discord, died in vain. I mean, it seems strange anyone would need to die at all for our Discord, but I don’t make the rules. discord.gg/templininstitute
Imperium can survive... providing that Gulliman manages to turn it from the rotten carcass it is... the one Horus would laugh at... into something thats actually... An Imperium in which someone can entertain an original thought.
News Anchor: And now the state of the Galaxy with Jim Troy Jim Troy: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh* News Anchor: Thank you Jim and now to sports.
The Imperium just hasn't been the same since Commissar Ciaphas Cain, *HERO OF THE IMPERIUM* retired for the (at least) second time and finally passed away (for real this time, full state funeral and everything, not just 'missing in action' like all the _other_ times he 'died' then turned back up asking 'does anyone have a cup of tanna handy?', honest).
Maldus Alver they are doing fine for now But they are no major player and far too small to withstand a full attack Especially if you check further into the lore they are getting in the way of another tyranid hive fleet It wont be pretty for long
State of the Galaxy: Everything is on fire, Orks are partying, Tyranids are broke, Eldari are finding religion, Gulliman is banging his head against the wall, Chaos is arguing over the last slice of pizza, Tau are shut in their rooms watching anime, and the Silent King just woke up the kids because its past noon and they need to get their chores started.
Don't forget that the Druhkari's are also partying while under the influence of illegal substances while also banging with each other, the Harlequins are at the library trying to be the best librarian of all time meanwhile the sons of the emperor are still nowhere to be found. Lion is still sleeping on his bed because his alarm clock don't work anymore, Russ getting lost in space due to not having a map, Corax is travelling somewhere in the galaxy because reasons, Vulkan is still hiding somewhere, Rogal Dorn just left a p.s. note to his sons in a form of his hand, and Jaghatai Khan is having a drag race in the insane asylum turned night club of the Druhkaris.
I would more describe it as a barrel of flaming grox manure that's approaching a galaxy-sized fan at mach 4. And it's also somehow possessed by a greater daemon of Nurgle.
In Summary: "Basically, life sucks, there's only war, and you're probably gonna get eaten by Tyranids." - TotalBiscuit, May the Emperor guide his soul to peace.
Long story short... Chaos is stronger than ever, the orks are uniting, the Necrons are waking up, and the Tyranids are arriving Sounds like an average day in the Imperium
@@slaaneshshewhothirst9136 Nah... Give it another decade or two. What gives me hope is these revelations about Emperor becoming more and more godly as of late. I mean, we have long known he has his own kinda demons, but recent books make me hope for future (maybe 10th edition..?) drastic changes in Imperial faction rules.
“What’s the warhammer 40k universe like?” “See that dumpster on fire over there?” “Oh wow that bad huh.” “Look behind it.” *car crash killing all drivers involved one of the car’s engine is on fire* “Oh no! Will they be okay!?” “look behind it.” *massive train wreck which has destroyed an entire city block causing massive destruction and human suffering* “Oh...g-god, this is terrib-“ “Look behind it.”
It is the 42nd Millennium: -The Imperium is falling apart but being held together by the return of Gulliman and the introduction of the Primaris Marines. Its possible other heroes return like another primarch or shoot Kaldor Draigo is already confirmed to have left the warp. Whose to say that Russ or the Khan or Vulkan might not make a return? -Chaos has won a great victory, snatching it from the jaws of another defeat at Cadia. The planet may have fallen before the guard did but Cadia still fell. The Great Rift means Chaos has the upper hand. That being said Chaos forces have begun to divide and spread out to achieve their own personal goals, giving the Imperium the opportunity to hold the line and regroup. -The Eldar have begun to unite making them suddenly a much more potent force in the galaxy. The question remains what exactly will they do with that force? I don't know but it probably won't be good for Chaos. -The Tau have started to encounter Chaos forces on a regular basis and they just might have started to experience the warp. There is a lot of potential here...stay tuned. -The Tyranids are still an intergalactic threat but to everything in the galaxy (with one possible exception) not to any one faction. Chaos is an annoyance to them. Everything else is food...except for... -The Necrons are finally ready to take their rightful place as the true masters of this Galaxy after being exceptionally patient. The Silent King is back! The Pariah Nexuses (yes plural) have been activated and their influence is expanding. Will the Necrons actually be able to cut everyone off from the warp and then harvest them like they have started doing in different parts of the galaxy? Probably not but if anyone can stop the forces of Chaos and shut off the warp from the materium it is the Necrons. If all else fails they still have the Celestial Orrery which makes them theoretically the most powerful faction in the Galaxy. -The Orks...won. The Orks won a long time ago when the galaxy descended into endless war. The only races that have any chance of exterminating the Orks are the Tyranids and maybe the Necrons. To them the galaxy is one endless brawl and they are enjoying the heck out of it. While other races fight for victory, the Orks are taking an endless victory lap because all the Orks want is constant war and the galaxy is happy to oblige.
@Manish Erande what he is suggesting is to give the emperah a way to speak to us easly without having to diverte much (if any) of his attention from his war with chaos
JohnnyZenith he can even without a communication device, and did talked to people a few times in the history of the imperium, he just hasn’t for a like a few thousand years so people are rightfully to think that his silence is willing rather than cause he is unable to
Hearing how Papa Smurf returned and is now promoting his even more perfect space marines would make the Emperor shit so many warp storms as to make the rift look minor.
State of the Galaxy in Warhammer 40,000: Everything sucks we are been screw by every front by ruinous powers Warhammer 40000 fans: so busines as usual i see
and as a tau player, i weep for i still have no deny the witch rolls 5 editions later. and as a tyranid player, i weep for i no longer have without numbers. and a sisters of battle player, i weep for its about damned time we unleashed the cleansing flames of the holy emperor!
well give me an indestructible body, immeasurable strenght that can b*tc slap slaanesh and other chaos gods, can move/teleport anywhere and flames that can burn anything to the molecular level (so I can shout *BURN IN HOLY FIRE* nonstop) and I'm good to go
The fact the Tyranids can now feed and have a fleet devoted to hunting and devouring Chaos incursions the Chaos Gods have a real problem of an invasion into their realms.
Forget the Primarchs, who would just a month ago have ever thought that the Silent Kings was coming back?! The guy is literally like the God Emperor for the Necrons! imo the chances that the Emperor too might get rejuvenated in the future are higher than ever :D
This must be really footsteps of end times of W40K. In the end times of classic warhammer, the black library brought back Nagash first and much later to that, the soul of Sigmar a.k.a God Emperor of the empire. Therefore, it is not impossible for this trend might repeat in W40K setting.
It's very unlikely we'll get a full murder of the universe like Fantasy, 40k is still extremely profitable, while Fantasy's playerbase was shrinking year on year when the End Times came. GW seem to be overhauling 40k without completely rebooting it, so we may see things happen like Slannesh vanishing like he/she/it did in Fantasy moving to AoS.
9:06 It's speculated that the"Greater Good Daemon" that saved those T'au is not the result of the T'au's belief in the Greater Good but rather the result of Humans in the T'au Empire worshiping the Greater Good ideals (makes sense considering how T'au don't have much if any psychic influence).
"Segmentum Specificus" Bro you gotta go check out the new Guillermo Del Toro movie... Specific Rim. I kid I kid this was a fantastic video and I love this channel.
Some of that golden age of technology tech would be quit useful. Guns that shoot out energy that created small temporary black holes, accurate and reliable teleportation tech, robots with the strength of space marines and numbers of imperial guard, augmentations that could turn a whole planets worth of people into killing machines, swarms on nanomachines that consumed everything that we wanted them to, Super intelligent AI's(this one might as well be ignored for... reasons), ships capable shooting something INSIDE the warp. Yeah this stuff would really be useful.
Unfortunately most of this requires A.I to run which is problematic, plus I’m not sure unleashing programmable robots against Necron is the wisest course of action
The Emperor of mankind is waiting for the tyranid hive fleets too personally enter his Golden Throne Room cuz when they do he's got the master ball ready
One thing I like is when people make material about the series they usually include actual heroes in their work. They do their part to brighten the darkness.
The main superpowers are Necrons and Tyranids, The Necrons have Highly advanced technology and according to the Szarekhan Dynasty Lore so far their crypteks are highly skilled with blackstone and gift even their insignificant foot soldiers with a sliver of the elusive black material, they should find closing the great rift and stifling chaos a tuesday. Not to mention the fact that the entirety of the Galaxy Is essentially the Necron Empire, not just through sheer strength but in numbers too. Necromunda is NecronUnda . Tyranids are also anti-psykers in their own right, or also known as blanks. They produce the shadow in the warp which blocks all other psychic or daemonic influence and can rapidly evolve. The most obvious but severely understated threat of the Tyranids is the fact that to date each Hive fleet has approached from a different angle, with Leviathan invading below the galactic plane, don't get me started on what Tiamet are doing with colonising a star system and building a massive beacon/gestation pod for an emperor level threat/who knows what? 9th Edition will likely focus on Szarekh uniting the galaxy under his banner/allegiance to defeat the Tyranid threat, the Tyranids after all are the reason as to why he returned. Only the united power of all the races in 40k will be able to evn stand a chance against the might of the foe that is the Great devourer. It is all too likely that the Imperium (Humanity 40,000 years from now, circa M42) will refuse to fight alongside them due to their zealotry and xenophobia (racism to aliens). Can’t see things going down too well with the Necrons and Eldar either, I guess we’ll have to see.
The Tau didn’t stop The Death Guard, the Death Guard who were led by Typhus were called back for the Muster to Charge into Ultramar, if Typhus wasn’t called back by Mortarion, the Tau would’ve gone extinct.
@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen TYep, the main strength of the Tau is that they are too strong for being easily and quickly beaten, but not enough strong to be a significant threat, and thus, not worth diverting resources
I wonder, why did the Death Guard attack the Tau in the first place. Were the Tau's clean and ideal society some kind of blasphemy to Nurgle, or did they fear their developing might, and sought to wipe them out before they grow too powerful?
I remember reading part of this one fanfic called WH50K, and in it, the galaxy had been divided into a bunch of petty imperiums by the warp. Funny to see that sort've happen in canon.
The primarch that’s probably one of the smartest but one of the weakest in combat (at least when compared to the other primarchs). Should be interesting how he handles the current state of things aside from introducing slightly stronger space marines lmao
Paerigos I guess you’re right. If he tries to enact something similar to his imperium 2 plan (with sanguinius as leader) then he’s definitely gonna need another primarch alongside him. No way he can do it alone. The lion el rumours are probably fake anyway
DerScharfSchutzE almost every other primarch outclasses him in combat. The only thing that boosts him to mid tier right now is the armor of fate, and big e’s sword
I wonder if the imminent end of all galactic life will finally allow the common human population to know that it’s FIGHT OR FÚCKING DIE time. Or if the inquisition will become even more trigger happy to keep the incoming shitstorm suppressed
The state of the galaxy in Warhammer 40k is, on the best of days, one of the following: - [absolute] - beyond FUBAR - forgetting to clear the browser history on your parents pc
With the Tyranids crippled, the Chaos Gods fighting amongst themselves (the Great Game) and the Orks doing what Orks do best, the greatest threat to the Imperium of Man and the galaxy itself I think are the Necrons without a doubt. Slowly their tombworlds wakes, and remember they unleashed devastating wars upon the Old Ones and the Ctan (Star Gods)
@@JetfireQuasar Yeah, this. Why haven't they at least formed a cool alliance with the Eldar? They may be alien, but they arent inherently evil (lets not talk of the dark eldar).
Hive Fleet Cronos will end up saving the galaxy, it can close warp rifts so let it get big enough and it will re-unify the two halves of the galaxy and bring the eternal paradise the Hive Mind clearly brings:)
It has to be smart because if it bites off too much for it to chew it dies. Plus with Silent Kings return he’s know all about the tyranid threat and prolly has the best methods to exterminate them quick enough that they don’t adapt.
They did my Tyranids dirty and I'm livid! They used to be a huge threat, second only to chaos, but now they're considered a joke, both in the lore and the tabletop.
The Tyranids are still a massive threat in the long term, it is in the short term that they are not really a threat. Most of them are still outside of the galaxy, and they have Hive Fleet Kronos.
So, lets see if i get this correct: Humanity: Empire failing, some sort of collapse imminent. (probably for the best. We were spread out too much to begin with) Tau: Working on another FTL tech besides the Warp and the Webway. Currently plagued by visions of a godling. Eldari: Regrouping and looking for a way of disconnecting from the goddess they created. They might have found a way but time may tell. Orks: Doing alright. being orks and busting heads. Chaos: Pulled out some major victories but pride and greed is causing squabbles. Teranids: Beginning to show signs of starvation as its getting harder and harder to find biomass. Necrons: Reawakening is in full effect and more crypts are activating. This is all happening at the turn of the 42nd Millennium. Lets see how things play out. Rumors are abound and anything can happen.
@@Lightscribe225 Oh. Ooooooh. Ooooooooh noooooooooo. yikes. If the Tyranids adapt to survive in the immaterium and utilize Warp energies, shit's fucked everywhere.
I do like the interesting turn of events that yes Chaos is ascendant but that also that the Imperium and the Eldar have both gained something they have't had in a long time... hope.
10:43 actually, the rift has reawakened the emperor somewhat. And the Lion is now back. Combined with the possibility of Tau'va existing, Ynnead being awakened, Ghaz kicking Angron and Abbadon's collective teeth in, and both necrons and tyrannids starting to take a more active role against chaos, I see it as a reverse great crusade situation. At the height of the great crusade, humanity was on the verge of victory, while every other race and group teamed up to stop them. Chaos is now on the verge of victory, and everyone is teaming up against them.
You guys are really on-point lately, have to admit I was a little worried for a while, but you have shown myself and I imagine many others that there is nothing to worry about. Keep up the good work guys!
I read an interesting article of all the lore in games and books about the return of the Emperor. If he comes back, Chaos will once again tremble in fear, for the Emperor is the Anathema, the Avatar of pure and true Order, he did not kill Horus sooner out of love for his lost son, but now the Chaos Gods have no Horus, and the Emperor will not hold back. If even the Chaos Gods feared him... I can't imagine the battle
“The Great Devourer, the Tyranid Hive Mind, sweeps across the Galaxy, leaving nothing left but scoured bare rock. Nothing can stop them.” Grazghull “‘Old me beer”.
Sons of the Imperium, of Terra, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we foresake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this Galaxy, I bid you stand, Men of the Imperium!
"and even if I speak with the authority of the Emperor himself" ... Wait what, the God Emperor supports the Templin Institute :O ? Now that will give you patreon supporters :I
I love your videos on the warhammer 40k universe. They are so well done expecially when explaining things to the basic level. Please keep doing what you do :)
Damn this is so interesting. Why isn't there a TV show set in the 40k universe already? I mean seriously all you have to do is look at the Astartes mini-series on youtube to know that the 40k universe has an enormous amount of potential to rival shows like star trek or even star wars.
A 40k TV series is already in production. Apparently, it is going to be based on the Eisenhorn trilogy and is being made by Frank Spotnitz who was the director of The Man in the High Castle. I really hope they don't tone down the grimdark cuz I read the books and all I can say is that it gets dark really fast. Source on the Eisenhorn TV show can be found here: variety.com/2019/tv/news/warhammer-40000-series-eisenhorn-in-the-works-the-x-files-frank-spotnitz-1203270041/
*A shirtless human figure sits cross-legged within a sanctum located on Craftworld Ulthwe. The size of your average Guardsman, his body is ravaged by scars and fresh wounds, the product of an arduous journey through the Warp and thousands of years of torture. Oddly enough, his skin is also a mix of pale human flesh and draconic scales black as night. Great, black, bat-like wings sprout from his back, torn in some areas and broken. Both are signs of his heritage, royal you could say. His eyes are closed as images of the events in the galaxy at large whirl through his mind, supplying him with all the information he needs concerning it's status. All the while a psychic glow emanates from his form, closing up his wounds slowly but surely, an ability that eluded him in the Warp but now thrives in the Materium. The figure smiles at this. Already his power erupts, free of the shackles of Chaos that have long imprisoned him, keeping him from his full potential. His home. His brothers.* *His father.* *The figure's smile disappears and twists into an expression of discomfort, wincing as his wings snap back into place with a series of sickening crunches. That isn't the whole reason behind his pain. Far across the galaxy, on Holy Terra, the figure feels his progenitor's everlasting agony, a pain that would slay scores of normal beings and bring even the Primarchs themselves to insanity before death claims them. The figures forces through it, though, as even the pain he feels is a mere shadow of the actual thing, and he sends a psychic message through the morass.* "Worry not, father. I'm coming home. The lost son is found." *His eyes, red as blood, snap open as a presence intrudes upon the sanctum. An Aeldari, tall and willowy like much of that race, enters the room and walks towards him. The diminutive Primarch smiles widely, instantly recognizing this particular figure.* "Te'shara, my dear. Do you have news of any Imperium ships, or did you just want to spend some alone time with me?" *The Aeldari female chuckles* "If only it were the latter, my love, but alas I only have news. An Imperial detachment will be rendezvousing with us in a short while. We let them know that a son of their God Emperor is on board, and they wish to prove the veracity of our claim. They may scoff at your stature, but once you give them a demonstration of your might, nothing overly dramatic of course, their doubts should be erased." "Excellent. I look forward to getting that much closer to seeing my father. Your people wouldn't have happened to mention my name in the transmission, would they?" *Te'shara shakes her head* "Your people wouldn't recognize it as one belonging to any of the known Primarchs, anyway, or even the lost Primarchs. Only the Emperor would know your name, Septimius." *Septimius sighs deeply* "Blame....her....for that. If it hadn't been for....can I say it?" "Only the title we use, darling." "Yes, of course. If it hadn't been for She-Who-Thirsts, I would've been able to join my brothers in our father's Great Crusade. Winning glory, spreading our glorious Imperium to every corner of the galaxy, exterminating the forces of Chaos wherever we met them. I would've been remembered by the citizenry and my sons like my brothers were. The loyalists, anyway. Not for ill like those misguided traitors. Perhaps the Heresy wouldn't have even happened, had I been there to stop Horus from turning...." *A saddened look comes over Septimius' face, but disappears as quickly as it came, replaced with determination* "No matter. That is the past. I will make up for the lack of my presence then by aiding my father and his empire now, when their need is even more pressing then it was in those days." *Te'shara steps closer and places her hand on Septimius' face* "I know you will, my love. I saw your mind while you were first starting to heal when we brought you aboard. You know the long conversing we had together, learning about each other's lives. In a few short days, we learned all there was to know about each other. Remember?" *Septimius smiled deeply* "I do. When I awoke and saw you, it felt like I had known you all my life, and you mine, even though it had only been eight days since my arriving." "Precisely. That is why I know you will succeed. You have the drive, the raw power, and a sharp mind, as well as a compassionate heart and a giving nature, all of which are suitable qualities for a leader, especially in these dark times." *Septimius and Te'shara both stood there for a moment, staring into each other's eyes. Wordlessly their feelings were communicated, and for the first time, they both leaned in, poised for a kiss.* *A voice invaded the confines of Septimius' chambers, or at least seemed to given the context of the situation* "Septimius, our Craftworld has reached the Imperial fleet. They await your coming." *Septimius and Te'shara broke away from each other, frustrated* "Damn it, Eldrad! You couldn't have waited a minute longer?!" *Eldrad chuckled knowingly* "From all the emotions I felt radiating from the two of you, I think I would've needed to wait a full hour to satisfy your wishes. That certainly would not be feasible, wouldn't you agree?" *A low draconic growl escaped Septimius' throat, and then he sighed* "No, I suppose not. Let them know that I will be ready shortly." "Will do. See you then." *Septimius looked sheepishly at his Aeldari lover* "Guess intimacy will have to wait." *Te'shara shrugged* "Fret not, my dragon prince. I'll be coming along. We'll have all the time we want, I promise." *Septimius snorted in amusement* "Don't make promises you can't keep, dearest." *He throws on his robes and armor, and picks up a power sword of Aeldari design, a gift from Eldrad, one that both knew would come in handy in the days to come* "Alright then. Let's go." *As both walked towards a large landing bay, Septimius ruminated. All these threats plagued the galaxy and the Imperium, and he wondered how he would rise to meet them. He did know one thing, though: He would reach home. From there, he would gather his sons, he would gather whatever brothers of his that were present on Terra and their legions, and he would rise to meet all who would challenge the Imperium of Man, his father's shining kingdom brought low by civil war and incompetence. He would make up for his 10,000 year absence by pouring out his wroth upon all who would stand against mankind. For he was a prince of his people, bound by duty and honor to protect them from all who would ensure their demise. He was Septimius Primus, 21st son of the Emperor of Man, the Dragon King, and he would help the Imperium, and his father, rise again*

I think this statement coincides well with the history of the Imperium, concerning our own Earth's ancient history: "Even if it's false, you have to believe it, because that's all the information we have."

Man I love listening to WK40k lore. I've never played a single 40k game, but I love it's lore. I can't wait to hear your guys' coverage of the Death Korps of Krieg
Warhammer. Where the idiot ball gets passed around across all characters and factions because grimderpness. And that’s the whole appeal that has kept me hooked for years.
I just like to imagine a humble shopkeeper or fishmonger in these times. There has to be one, just going around doing a job. Might be a fun sketch, a plain life surrounded by absolute chaos
It's always darkest before dawn ™ There are huge beacons of hope right now. Firstly the Tyranids are getting seriously hampered. This is amazingly good, since they are the biggest threat from the material world. Secondly we see inter-racial alliances. That's how evil will be opposed. The Emperor Protects.
Could the realm of Ultramar forge Alliances with various "good" Xenos _[cue blasphemer comments]_ such as the Tau and the saner Eldar? And could Humanity once again embrace technological advancement and not stagnation? In particular just getting some alien tech from alliances instead of having to research it themselves (something possibly beyond the current Human culture), particularly interstellar travel from the Tau - not as fast, but not as deadly and a lot more reliable. Such an alliance would be incredibly powerful as the three different powers have vastly different strengths and weaknesses and could really complement each other, instead of just being more of the same troops to the grinder. Humanity has vast numbers and resources, they are the logistical giant, and they have the ace of their super soldiers (but not in large numbers - yet, but if they could make more _now,_ that's a game changer). The Tau have greater technology and _are innovative,_ something that Humanity has lost due to misinterpretation of the Emperor's message (and should he ever return, he is going to be pissed at his acolytes). Imagine Imperial guard human waves equipped with battlesuits… And the Eldar are great psychics, and while they don't advance technically, they still have some legacy technologies (particularly webways - but also some weapons tech) that would greatly increase the capabilities of Humanity and particularly the Imperial guard as well. If the three groups could embrace the concept of a _'Greater Benifit'_ to long term cooperation, and not backstab each other for short term gain (and in Humanity's case keep their religious zealots from the other regions out of the picture) they could become so much greater than just the sum of their forces. Add in some devious plans to set the Orcs and Necrons to do their dirty work in fighting Chaos and particularly the Tyranids - courtesy of the Eldar mindset ["Now these plans don't include screwing over your allies do they?"] and the Galaxy just might have a chance. _However it would probably need the return of the Primarchs Sisko and Picard…_ *But of course that wouldn't be 40K grimdark.*
It's also likely that Lion El'Johnson will come back alongside Gulloman. It's something that has been suggested for a long time, being held in the deepest part of the Rock for so long.
I would suggest starting by reading a little 40K fiction. A very good starting point is Dan Abnett's Inquisitor series. The Eisenhorn Trilogy - Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus - followed by the Ravenor Trilogy and the Magos which ties all the books together (there is also the first novel in the connected Bequin series called Pariah, but Abnett has not gotten around to writing the rest of that yet) are all excellent, and give an insight into what Imperial society looks like away from the battlefield. Another good series of books, also by Abnett, are the Gaunts Ghosts series. It has been described ( a little unfairly in my opinion) as Sharpe in space, and follows the experiences of an Imperial Guard regiment called the Tanith First and Only, the only survivors of a dead world as they fight in the lengthy Sabbat Worlds Crusade. It is excellent military sci fi with a fantastic cast of characters you will grow very attached to... and that will then die horribly. Be warned. More generally, you can't go wrong by just picking up the 9th edition 40K core book and reading the lore section. It is hefty and provides an excellent overview of the 40K setting and everything that is going on at the current point in the timeline, as well as going over important events from the history of the setting. The artwork is also darkly beautiful. If you are looking for something after you have done that, and are maybe a little bit bonkers, there is always the Horus Heresy novel series. Start with the opening trilogy - Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy in Flames - and then go from there. The main book entries are numbered on the Black Library website to help you read them in the order they were published (though there are additional short stories as well), and Audible has them all on audiobook if that is your preference. The series is coming to a close now with the Siege of Terra sequence, but the full Horus Heresy series is well over 50 books and counting published over the course of the last 15 years. That should hold you for a while.
Gregory Greenwood-Nimmo Eisenhorn is a bit of a weird introduction though. In the first book, there is a ton of description and emphasis on the Sarauthi race and the strange portals they use. The reader is left with a Tim Burton impression of 40k, or feel like they just watched a 1960’s Star Trek episode. It’s good, but is it a good introduction? Why not a book that has a ton of description on a race that’s actually a big part of 40k?
@@kr0w119 You can never encompass the scale of a fictional world the size of 40K in any single novel, and there is such a variety of playable factions that a book that only deals with one doesn't necessarily get across the essence of the setting.. Eisenhorn and its sequels gives a good feel for the scope and character of the 40K universe at large, and does so while being a very well written piece of science fiction that will be engaging even for someone entirely new to 40K .
@@myself2noone Except 40K does have this problem with actual, no fooling daemons and evil gods. And a wide variety of just supremely messed up hostile alien species. And a parallel dimension made up of psychic power and intense emotions. Plus, the Foundation series Galactic Empire fell into ruin and Seldon's Foundations were a contingency intended to limit the period of galactic barbarism resulting form that, but the Imperium is still more or less holding on, as nightmarishly dystopic as it is. With all that said, I think a mutant like the Mule from the Foundation Trilogy is the sort of thing that Inquisitors would have nightmares about - mind influencing powers on that scale would be truly terrifying, even for operatives used to dealing with the horror show that is the 40K universe.
I like to imagen the Warhammer 40K Galaxy as Rome (both the city and the civilization); things are lookin bleak to say the least, but they'll never go down without a fight.

In short: The Great Rift was terrible for everyone, except for Chaos (for obvious reasons), and the Orks (who are having a jolly good time).
And the necrons, who haven’t woken up from their siesta yet.
The Imperium just hasn't been the same since Commissar Ciaphas Cain, *HERO OF THE IMPERIUM* retired for the (at least) second time and finally passed away (for real this time, full state funeral and everything, not just 'missing in action' like all the _other_ times he 'died' then turned back up asking 'does anyone have a cup of tanna handy?', honest).
Maldus Alver they are doing fine for now
But they are no major player and far too small to withstand a full attack
Especially if you check further into the lore they are getting in the way of another tyranid hive fleet
It wont be pretty for long

True. Who knew the Tau's slow version of FTL would be a positive?
State of the Galaxy: Everything is on fire, Orks are partying, Tyranids are broke, Eldari are finding religion, Gulliman is banging his head against the wall, Chaos is arguing over the last slice of pizza, Tau are shut in their rooms watching anime, and the Silent King just woke up the kids because its past noon and they need to get their chores started.
*[CONFUSED SCREAMING]*
This is unexpectedly good description
Don't forget that the Druhkari's are also partying while under the influence of illegal substances while also banging with each other, the Harlequins are at the library trying to be the best librarian of all time meanwhile the sons of the emperor are still nowhere to be found. Lion is still sleeping on his bed because his alarm clock don't work anymore, Russ getting lost in space due to not having a map, Corax is travelling somewhere in the galaxy because reasons, Vulkan is still hiding somewhere, Rogal Dorn just left a p.s. note to his sons in a form of his hand, and Jaghatai Khan is having a drag race in the insane asylum turned night club of the Druhkaris.
Dear GODS, I never realised how much the WH40k galaxy resembles an eternal frat-house from hell.
Correction: Guilliman is banging his Eldar waifu while he smacks his head to the wall
The state of the galaxy at any point in time in Warhammer can best be described as a "dumpster fire".

@@TheCorrodedMan try Xeelee Sequence. The Interim Coalition of Governance are even worst.
It is the 42nd Millennium:
-The Imperium is falling apart but being held together by the return of Gulliman and the introduction of the Primaris Marines. Its possible other heroes return like another primarch or shoot Kaldor Draigo is already confirmed to have left the warp. Whose to say that Russ or the Khan or Vulkan might not make a return?
-Chaos has won a great victory, snatching it from the jaws of another defeat at Cadia. The planet may have fallen before the guard did but Cadia still fell. The Great Rift means Chaos has the upper hand. That being said Chaos forces have begun to divide and spread out to achieve their own personal goals, giving the Imperium the opportunity to hold the line and regroup.
-The Eldar have begun to unite making them suddenly a much more potent force in the galaxy. The question remains what exactly will they do with that force? I don't know but it probably won't be good for Chaos.
-The Tau have started to encounter Chaos forces on a regular basis and they just might have started to experience the warp. There is a lot of potential here...stay tuned.
-The Tyranids are still an intergalactic threat but to everything in the galaxy (with one possible exception) not to any one faction. Chaos is an annoyance to them. Everything else is food...except for...
-The Necrons are finally ready to take their rightful place as the true masters of this Galaxy after being exceptionally patient. The Silent King is back! The Pariah Nexuses (yes plural) have been activated and their influence is expanding. Will the Necrons actually be able to cut everyone off from the warp and then harvest them like they have started doing in different parts of the galaxy? Probably not but if anyone can stop the forces of Chaos and shut off the warp from the materium it is the Necrons. If all else fails they still have the Celestial Orrery which makes them theoretically the most powerful faction in the Galaxy.
-The Orks...won. The Orks won a long time ago when the galaxy descended into endless war. The only races that have any chance of exterminating the Orks are the Tyranids and maybe the Necrons. To them the galaxy is one endless brawl and they are enjoying the heck out of it. While other races fight for victory, the Orks are taking an endless victory lap because all the Orks want is constant war and the galaxy is happy to oblige.
In summary: Everything is more grim and dark and the war is even more endless than before . . . Yay . . .

If the Emperor had been given a Text-to-speech Device, this would never of happened
@Manish Erande what he is suggesting is to give the emperah a way to speak to us easly without having to diverte much (if any) of his attention from his war with chaos
the emperor was given a text-to-speech device, TTS is cannon, everything GW publishes is fannon.
When you think about it it's dumb. They could easily have the tech to speak to the emperor.
JohnnyZenith he can even without a communication device, and did talked to people a few times in the history of the imperium, he just hasn’t for a like a few thousand years so people are rightfully to think that his silence is willing rather than cause he is unable to
Hearing how Papa Smurf returned and is now promoting his even more perfect space marines would make the Emperor shit so many warp storms as to make the rift look minor.

Forget the Primarchs, who would just a month ago have ever thought that the Silent Kings was coming back?! The guy is literally like the God Emperor for the Necrons! imo the chances that the Emperor too might get rejuvenated in the future are higher than ever :D
The emperir returns and the collective "ah shit" of every race bar orks, tyranids, and some other minor ones will birth a new chaos god.
This must be really footsteps of end times of W40K. In the end times of classic warhammer, the black library brought back Nagash first and much later to that, the soul of Sigmar a.k.a God Emperor of the empire. Therefore, it is not impossible for this trend might repeat in W40K setting.
ERAZUR Didn’t Sigmar lose and everything was destroyed?
With the way the Silent King acts, I wouldn't doubt he'd be the one to resurrect the Emperor to fight the Tyranids and Chaos, together.
Can the Necrons and the Ruinous Powers possibly destroy themselves?
I just hope that we are not getting a "End Times" for 40k, just imagine the absolute shitshow that would be
If its a slow and well done end times it'll be good
It's very unlikely we'll get a full murder of the universe like Fantasy, 40k is still extremely profitable, while Fantasy's playerbase was shrinking year on year when the End Times came. GW seem to be overhauling 40k without completely rebooting it, so we may see things happen like Slannesh vanishing like he/she/it did in Fantasy moving to AoS.

*Even it was on fire already**
For any other universe - this would be the most important and dire day in their entire history. But for Warhammer 40k, it was Tuesday.
Imperial Catachan Commander: We are surrounded, that simplifies things.
Some of that golden age of technology tech would be quit useful. Guns that shoot out energy that created small temporary black holes, accurate and reliable teleportation tech, robots with the strength of space marines and numbers of imperial guard, augmentations that could turn a whole planets worth of people into killing machines, swarms on nanomachines that consumed everything that we wanted them to, Super intelligent AI's(this one might as well be ignored for... reasons), ships capable shooting something INSIDE the warp. Yeah this stuff would really be useful.
Unfortunately most of this requires A.I to run which is problematic, plus I’m not sure unleashing programmable robots against Necron is the wisest course of action
the imperium would'nt be using the warp now if it is'nt for that one guy who destroyed it all..

State of the Galaxy in Warhammer 40,000:
That's simple: *Never ending war*
Gee I wonder if it could be ENDLESS WAR!!!
One thing I like is when people make material about the series they usually include actual heroes in their work. They do their part to brighten the darkness.
The main superpowers are Necrons and Tyranids, The Necrons have Highly advanced technology and according to the Szarekhan Dynasty Lore so far their crypteks are highly skilled with blackstone and gift even their insignificant foot soldiers with a sliver of the elusive black material, they should find closing the great rift and stifling chaos a tuesday. Not to mention the fact that the entirety of the Galaxy Is essentially the Necron Empire, not just through sheer strength but in numbers too. Necromunda is NecronUnda
.
Tyranids are also anti-psykers in their own right, or also known as blanks. They produce the shadow in the warp which blocks all other psychic or daemonic influence and can rapidly evolve. The most obvious but severely understated threat of the Tyranids is the fact that to date each Hive fleet has approached from a different angle, with Leviathan invading below the galactic plane, don't get me started on what Tiamet are doing with colonising a star system and building a massive beacon/gestation pod for an emperor level threat/who knows what?
9th Edition will likely focus on Szarekh uniting the galaxy under his banner/allegiance to defeat the Tyranid threat, the Tyranids after all are the reason as to why he returned. Only the united power of all the races in 40k will be able to evn stand a chance against the might of the foe that is the Great devourer. It is all too likely that the Imperium (Humanity 40,000 years from now, circa M42) will refuse to fight alongside them due to their zealotry and xenophobia (racism to aliens). Can’t see things going down too well with the Necrons and Eldar either, I guess we’ll have to see.
NecronUnda. I love it XD
The Tau didn’t stop The Death Guard, the Death Guard who were led by Typhus were called back for the Muster to Charge into Ultramar, if Typhus wasn’t called back by Mortarion, the Tau would’ve gone extinct.
True that! But then again, if any other faction or even subfaction gave it their all, the Tau would die fast.
@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen TYep, the main strength of the Tau is that they are too strong for being easily and quickly beaten, but not enough strong to be a significant threat, and thus, not worth diverting resources
Blue iz a lucky color
Spook The only reason the Tau still exist is because the rest of the galaxy has more important things to kill.
I wonder, why did the Death Guard attack the Tau in the first place. Were the Tau's clean and ideal society some kind of blasphemy to Nurgle, or did they fear their developing might, and sought to wipe them out before they grow too powerful?
I remember reading part of this one fanfic called WH50K, and in it, the galaxy had been divided into a bunch of petty imperiums by the warp. Funny to see that sort've happen in canon.
The Imperium won't fall, Sly Marbo exists.
Hey... Gulliman is back... there is some hope left.
The primarch that’s probably one of the smartest but one of the weakest in combat (at least when compared to the other primarchs). Should be interesting how he handles the current state of things aside from introducing slightly stronger space marines lmao
@@mrfister1234 Well Imperium needs better management more then anything else right now.
Paerigos I guess you’re right. If he tries to enact something similar to his imperium 2 plan (with sanguinius as leader) then he’s definitely gonna need another primarch alongside him. No way he can do it alone. The lion el rumours are probably fake anyway
@@mrfister1234 Weakest in combat ?????? No ?
DerScharfSchutzE almost every other primarch outclasses him in combat. The only thing that boosts him to mid tier right now is the armor of fate, and big e’s sword
Heresy! Heresy I tell you!
Inquisitor, this is the work of Chaos!
I wonder if the imminent end of all galactic life will finally allow the common human population to know that it’s FIGHT OR FÚCKING DIE time.

With the Tyranids crippled, the Chaos Gods fighting amongst themselves (the Great Game) and the Orks doing what Orks do best, the greatest threat to the Imperium of Man and the galaxy itself I think are the Necrons without a doubt. Slowly their tombworlds wakes, and remember they unleashed devastating wars upon the Old Ones and the Ctan (Star Gods)
Don't worry GW needs to keep selling minis, somebody will stop the necrons

@@lynallott3404 Maybe but keep in mind that the Imperium is extremely xenophobic
@@darkholmemega8707 xenophobic to the point where it gets thrown out the window if humanity benefits from cooperation.
@@JetfireQuasar Yeah, this. Why haven't they at least formed a cool alliance with the Eldar? They may be alien, but they arent inherently evil (lets not talk of the dark eldar).
Hive Fleet Cronos will end up saving the galaxy, it can close warp rifts so let it get big enough and it will re-unify the two halves of the galaxy and bring the eternal paradise the Hive Mind clearly brings:)
Destroy the Chaos! Destroy the Chaos! Go Tyranids!
It has to be smart because if it bites off too much for it to chew it dies. Plus with Silent Kings return he’s know all about the tyranid threat and prolly has the best methods to exterminate them quick enough that they don’t adapt.
They did my Tyranids dirty and I'm livid! They used to be a huge threat, second only to chaos, but now they're considered a joke, both in the lore and the tabletop.
That's rough buddy
The Tyranids are still a massive threat in the long term, it is in the short term that they are not really a threat. Most of them are still outside of the galaxy, and they have Hive Fleet Kronos.
So, lets see if i get this correct:
Humanity: Empire failing, some sort of collapse imminent. (probably for the best. We were spread out too much to begin with)
Tau: Working on another FTL tech besides the Warp and the Webway. Currently plagued by visions of a godling.
Eldari: Regrouping and looking for a way of disconnecting from the goddess they created. They might have found a way but time may tell.
Orks: Doing alright. being orks and busting heads.
Chaos: Pulled out some major victories but pride and greed is causing squabbles.
Teranids: Beginning to show signs of starvation as its getting harder and harder to find biomass.
Necrons: Reawakening is in full effect and more crypts are activating.
This is all happening at the turn of the 42nd Millennium. Lets see how things play out. Rumors are abound and anything can happen.
Actually Tyranids have developed a way to eat daemons.
@@Lightscribe225 Oh. Ooooooh. Ooooooooh noooooooooo. yikes. If the Tyranids adapt to survive in the immaterium and utilize Warp energies, shit's fucked everywhere.
I like how Orks are the *_only_* faction doing alright in all this mess.
I do like the interesting turn of events that yes Chaos is ascendant but that also that the Imperium and the Eldar have both gained something they have't had in a long time... hope.
10:43 actually, the rift has reawakened the emperor somewhat. And the Lion is now back. Combined with the possibility of Tau'va existing, Ynnead being awakened, Ghaz kicking Angron and Abbadon's collective teeth in, and both necrons and tyrannids starting to take a more active role against chaos, I see it as a reverse great crusade situation. At the height of the great crusade, humanity was on the verge of victory, while every other race and group teamed up to stop them. Chaos is now on the verge of victory, and everyone is teaming up against them.

I read an interesting article of all the lore in games and books about the return of the Emperor. If he comes back, Chaos will once again tremble in fear, for the Emperor is the Anathema, the Avatar of pure and true Order, he did not kill Horus sooner out of love for his lost son, but now the Chaos Gods have no Horus, and the Emperor will not hold back. If even the Chaos Gods feared him... I can't imagine the battle

I was looking for something like this yesterday! Awesome!
When the Emperor ascends to the realms of the gods we will see who laughs at the ends.
In short it is still deadly, grim and unforgiving as always.
*A shirtless human figure sits cross-legged within a sanctum located on Craftworld Ulthwe. The size of your average Guardsman, his body is ravaged by scars and fresh wounds, the product of an arduous journey through the Warp and thousands of years of torture. Oddly enough, his skin is also a mix of pale human flesh and draconic scales black as night. Great, black, bat-like wings sprout from his back, torn in some areas and broken. Both are signs of his heritage, royal you could say. His eyes are closed as images of the events in the galaxy at large whirl through his mind, supplying him with all the information he needs concerning it's status. All the while a psychic glow emanates from his form, closing up his wounds slowly but surely, an ability that eluded him in the Warp but now thrives in the Materium. The figure smiles at this. Already his power erupts, free of the shackles of Chaos that have long imprisoned him, keeping him from his full potential. His home. His brothers.*
*His father.*
*The figure's smile disappears and twists into an expression of discomfort, wincing as his wings snap back into place with a series of sickening crunches. That isn't the whole reason behind his pain. Far across the galaxy, on Holy Terra, the figure feels his progenitor's everlasting agony, a pain that would slay scores of normal beings and bring even the Primarchs themselves to insanity before death claims them. The figures forces through it, though, as even the pain he feels is a mere shadow of the actual thing, and he sends a psychic message through the morass.*
"Worry not, father. I'm coming home. The lost son is found."
*His eyes, red as blood, snap open as a presence intrudes upon the sanctum. An Aeldari, tall and willowy like much of that race, enters the room and walks towards him. The diminutive Primarch smiles widely, instantly recognizing this particular figure.*
"Te'shara, my dear. Do you have news of any Imperium ships, or did you just want to spend some alone time with me?"
*The Aeldari female chuckles* "If only it were the latter, my love, but alas I only have news. An Imperial detachment will be rendezvousing with us in a short while. We let them know that a son of their God Emperor is on board, and they wish to prove the veracity of our claim. They may scoff at your stature, but once you give them a demonstration of your might, nothing overly dramatic of course, their doubts should be erased."
"Excellent. I look forward to getting that much closer to seeing my father. Your people wouldn't have happened to mention my name in the transmission, would they?"
*Te'shara shakes her head* "Your people wouldn't recognize it as one belonging to any of the known Primarchs, anyway, or even the lost Primarchs. Only the Emperor would know your name, Septimius."
*Septimius sighs deeply* "Blame....her....for that. If it hadn't been for....can I say it?"
"Only the title we use, darling."
"Yes, of course. If it hadn't been for She-Who-Thirsts, I would've been able to join my brothers in our father's Great Crusade. Winning glory, spreading our glorious Imperium to every corner of the galaxy, exterminating the forces of Chaos wherever we met them. I would've been remembered by the citizenry and my sons like my brothers were. The loyalists, anyway. Not for ill like those misguided traitors. Perhaps the Heresy wouldn't have even happened, had I been there to stop Horus from turning...."
*A saddened look comes over Septimius' face, but disappears as quickly as it came, replaced with determination* "No matter. That is the past. I will make up for the lack of my presence then by aiding my father and his empire now, when their need is even more pressing then it was in those days."
*Te'shara steps closer and places her hand on Septimius' face* "I know you will, my love. I saw your mind while you were first starting to heal when we brought you aboard. You know the long conversing we had together, learning about each other's lives. In a few short days, we learned all there was to know about each other. Remember?"
*Septimius smiled deeply* "I do. When I awoke and saw you, it felt like I had known you all my life, and you mine, even though it had only been eight days since my arriving."
"Precisely. That is why I know you will succeed. You have the drive, the raw power, and a sharp mind, as well as a compassionate heart and a giving nature, all of which are suitable qualities for a leader, especially in these dark times."
*Septimius and Te'shara both stood there for a moment, staring into each other's eyes. Wordlessly their feelings were communicated, and for the first time, they both leaned in, poised for a kiss.*
*A voice invaded the confines of Septimius' chambers, or at least seemed to given the context of the situation* "Septimius, our Craftworld has reached the Imperial fleet. They await your coming."
*Septimius and Te'shara broke away from each other, frustrated* "Damn it, Eldrad! You couldn't have waited a minute longer?!"
*Eldrad chuckled knowingly* "From all the emotions I felt radiating from the two of you, I think I would've needed to wait a full hour to satisfy your wishes. That certainly would not be feasible, wouldn't you agree?"
*A low draconic growl escaped Septimius' throat, and then he sighed* "No, I suppose not. Let them know that I will be ready shortly."
"Will do. See you then."
*Septimius looked sheepishly at his Aeldari lover* "Guess intimacy will have to wait."
*Te'shara shrugged* "Fret not, my dragon prince. I'll be coming along. We'll have all the time we want, I promise."
*Septimius snorted in amusement* "Don't make promises you can't keep, dearest." *He throws on his robes and armor, and picks up a power sword of Aeldari design, a gift from Eldrad, one that both knew would come in handy in the days to come* "Alright then. Let's go."
*As both walked towards a large landing bay, Septimius ruminated. All these threats plagued the galaxy and the Imperium, and he wondered how he would rise to meet them. He did know one thing, though: He would reach home. From there, he would gather his sons, he would gather whatever brothers of his that were present on Terra and their legions, and he would rise to meet all who would challenge the Imperium of Man, his father's shining kingdom brought low by civil war and incompetence. He would make up for his 10,000 year absence by pouring out his wroth upon all who would stand against mankind. For he was a prince of his people, bound by duty and honor to protect them from all who would ensure their demise. He was Septimius Primus, 21st son of the Emperor of Man, the Dragon King, and he would help the Imperium, and his father, rise again*
The only reference I found about this was on quora. Are you the author?
@@eviltwinzak Why yes, as a matter of fact. It's my own little headcanon for 40k haha.
@@jedidragonking5070 link to the fully fanfiction please
@@brandonhughes4571 Sorry man this is just something I wrote off the top of my head. There is no full fanfiction unless someone out there had the same exact idea as I did.
@@jedidragonking5070 dang it wait why don't you make this into a fanfiction story I could give characters or something what ever
the owner of the channel also makes good voiceovers he is really good at it to a point he doesnt need another person doing voice stuff for him am I am only one thinking like that ?
thanks! The main difference though is it takes me a bunch of tries to sound okay, while our main narrator Stephen can nail it in one take.
@@TemplinInstitute sure he does after Larissa I thought that voice overs wont be at the same level but he nailed it and with time now we are used to it but you have improved yourself quite well I am following your channel probably from the very first video thats why I immedielty noticed your improvement.
One more thing why dont you make videos about DAWN OF VICTORY lore I followed it when it was beign developed years back then and I know that it has a great Lore. Dont think that people forget what you guys tried to achive many didnt including me you should let other folks know about it as well.
As a fellow youtuber who also dreams to create great videos like yours keep a up the good work mate...
Note: Thanks for Stellaris Invicta 2 I asked about this subject on Twitch couple weeks ago and just days later it was announced I felt soo lucky...
I think this statement coincides well with the history of the Imperium, concerning our own Earth's ancient history: "Even if it's false, you have to believe it, because that's all the information we have."
Am I dreaming? TWO 40K videos within a week? NICE!!! More pls!!!
Jesus, its christmas for the Warhammer Community in this channel lately. Thanks for the great content
Imperium, Eldar, Dark Eldar: "Well this sucks"
Tau: "Be careful who you disrespect in high school"
Necron: "Ah shit here we go again"
Tyranids: "New weight loss program works, doctors hate them"
Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and Nurgle: "Surprise motherfucker"
Khnore and Orks: ":D"
HERESY! Humanity stands tall!
THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!!!
Man I love listening to WK40k lore. I've never played a single 40k game, but I love it's lore. I can't wait to hear your guys' coverage of the Death Korps of Krieg
Warhammer. Where the idiot ball gets passed around across all characters and factions because grimderpness.
And that’s the whole appeal that has kept me hooked for years.
The galaxy burns. The fight goes on.
Just install a text to speech device into the golden throne
I just like to imagine a humble shopkeeper or fishmonger in these times. There has to be one, just going around doing a job. Might be a fun sketch, a plain life surrounded by absolute chaos
It's always darkest before dawn ™ There are huge beacons of hope right now. Firstly the Tyranids are getting seriously hampered. This is amazingly good, since they are the biggest threat from the material world. Secondly we see inter-racial alliances. That's how evil will be opposed. The Emperor Protects.
11:16 respect my authoritah!
The short answer is: we're all gonna die :D
The long answer is : We probably will all die one way or another
"Well, let's look on the bright side, Jimmy: at least things can't possibly get any worse from here."
Oh yes they can, pull the galaxy in to the warp! The veil between the materium and immaterium is weak. If the Elder or Tau make there gods kaboom.
@@mr.rousseau.4655 I don't think the Tau can create entities in the warp, considering they have no psykers in their population
I learned everything I knew about WH40k in TTS. Does that count?
Love these videos show the best parts of the lore
We will spay and we will neuter until there is nothing left!!!!!!

The Furry crusade.
Terrible to On Fire, but that is an improvement. Before Guilliman came back, it was On Fire to Truly Fucked!
Could the realm of Ultramar forge Alliances with various "good" Xenos _[cue blasphemer comments]_ such as the Tau and the saner Eldar?
And could Humanity once again embrace technological advancement and not stagnation?
In particular just getting some alien tech from alliances instead of having to research it themselves (something possibly beyond the current Human culture), particularly interstellar travel from the Tau - not as fast, but not as deadly and a lot more reliable.
Such an alliance would be incredibly powerful as the three different powers have vastly different strengths and weaknesses and could really complement each other, instead of just being more of the same troops to the grinder.
Humanity has vast numbers and resources, they are the logistical giant, and they have the ace of their super soldiers (but not in large numbers - yet, but if they could make more _now,_ that's a game changer).
The Tau have greater technology and _are innovative,_ something that Humanity has lost due to misinterpretation of the Emperor's message (and should he ever return, he is going to be pissed at his acolytes). Imagine Imperial guard human waves equipped with battlesuits…
And the Eldar are great psychics, and while they don't advance technically, they still have some legacy technologies (particularly webways - but also some weapons tech) that would greatly increase the capabilities of Humanity and particularly the Imperial guard as well.
If the three groups could embrace the concept of a _'Greater Benifit'_ to long term cooperation, and not backstab each other for short term gain (and in Humanity's case keep their religious zealots from the other regions out of the picture) they could become so much greater than just the sum of their forces.
Add in some devious plans to set the Orcs and Necrons to do their dirty work in fighting Chaos and particularly the Tyranids - courtesy of the Eldar mindset ["Now these plans don't include screwing over your allies do they?"] and the Galaxy just might have a chance.
_However it would probably need the return of the Primarchs Sisko and Picard…_
*But of course that wouldn't be 40K grimdark.*
Imagine... a space marine equipped with T'au weaponry...
It's also likely that Lion El'Johnson will come back alongside Gulloman. It's something that has been suggested for a long time, being held in the deepest part of the Rock for so long.
Man 40k is weird, I'm interested in it but have no idea where to start.
I would suggest starting by reading a little 40K fiction. A very good starting point is Dan Abnett's Inquisitor series. The Eisenhorn Trilogy - Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus - followed by the Ravenor Trilogy and the Magos which ties all the books together (there is also the first novel in the connected Bequin series called Pariah, but Abnett has not gotten around to writing the rest of that yet) are all excellent, and give an insight into what Imperial society looks like away from the battlefield.
Another good series of books, also by Abnett, are the Gaunts Ghosts series. It has been described ( a little unfairly in my opinion) as Sharpe in space, and follows the experiences of an Imperial Guard regiment called the Tanith First and Only, the only survivors of a dead world as they fight in the lengthy Sabbat Worlds Crusade. It is excellent military sci fi with a fantastic cast of characters you will grow very attached to... and that will then die horribly. Be warned.
More generally, you can't go wrong by just picking up the 9th edition 40K core book and reading the lore section. It is hefty and provides an excellent overview of the 40K setting and everything that is going on at the current point in the timeline, as well as going over important events from the history of the setting. The artwork is also darkly beautiful.
If you are looking for something after you have done that, and are maybe a little bit bonkers, there is always the Horus Heresy novel series. Start with the opening trilogy - Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy in Flames - and then go from there. The main book entries are numbered on the Black Library website to help you read them in the order they were published (though there are additional short stories as well), and Audible has them all on audiobook if that is your preference. The series is coming to a close now with the Siege of Terra sequence, but the full Horus Heresy series is well over 50 books and counting published over the course of the last 15 years. That should hold you for a while.
Gregory Greenwood-Nimmo Eisenhorn is a bit of a weird introduction though. In the first book, there is a ton of description and emphasis on the Sarauthi race and the strange portals they use. The reader is left with a Tim Burton impression of 40k, or feel like they just watched a 1960’s Star Trek episode. It’s good, but is it a good introduction? Why not a book that has a ton of description on a race that’s actually a big part of 40k?
@@kr0w119 You can never encompass the scale of a fictional world the size of 40K in any single novel, and there is such a variety of playable factions that a book that only deals with one doesn't necessarily get across the essence of the setting.. Eisenhorn and its sequels gives a good feel for the scope and character of the 40K universe at large, and does so while being a very well written piece of science fiction that will be engaging even for someone entirely new to 40K .
It's not really that wired. It's more or less The Foundation without Hari Seldon.
@@myself2noone Except 40K does have this problem with actual, no fooling daemons and evil gods. And a wide variety of just supremely messed up hostile alien species. And a parallel dimension made up of psychic power and intense emotions. Plus, the Foundation series Galactic Empire fell into ruin and Seldon's Foundations were a contingency intended to limit the period of galactic barbarism resulting form that, but the Imperium is still more or less holding on, as nightmarishly dystopic as it is.
With all that said, I think a mutant like the Mule from the Foundation Trilogy is the sort of thing that Inquisitors would have nightmares about - mind influencing powers on that scale would be truly terrifying, even for operatives used to dealing with the horror show that is the 40K universe.
Every view without an upvote causes the Emperor to shed a single microscopic tear.
what if i watched it multiple times after liking it the first time?
@@8vantor8, the first upvote carries through.
The Imperium will team up with the Galactic Empire and invade Pandora.
