This is a trailer for a table top wargaming setting called the Horus Heresy by Games Workshop, which is an origin story of sorts for their Warhammer 40,000 setting, which takes place 10,000 years later in the same continuity. Games Workshop also has its own in house publishing arm called Black Library, which publishes a vast spectrum of novels set in Games Workshop's various fictional worlds, including 50 plus novels and counting set in the Horus Heresy era. It is a true rabbit hole of fiction - once you enter, you may never truly leave. And yes - everyone and their aunt wants a movie series set in the Horus Heresy era, but it would be a truly vast undertaking and GW is new to the animation scene. It will be a while before they are ready to take on a project of such scale.
@@PoofyKittyPants Very true. I don't think the mainstream audience is ready for the full fat Horus Heresy, and without a safe bet on return on investment getting the funding for that type of long form show would be difficult. Can you imagine the pitch meeting? The danger of course is that the money men love the general idea and aesthetic, they just want to make a few 'little changes' to make the IP' more viable for the new medium', and before you know it 40K is getting the full Star Wars treatment all in the name of palatability for a wider audience.
@@Lionheart1188 Warhammer 30k. HH takes place in the 31st millennium and 40k is the 41st millennium. You can think of the Horus Heresy as the reason there is only war in the grim, dark future.
Basically, The Horus Heresy is a tabletop/board game spin-off of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game. It's basically a prequel setting that specifically focuses on humanity's re-conquering of the galaxy after tens and thousands of years of galactic turmoil. It focuses even more specifically on the genetically engineered Space Marines and their Primarchs (the generals that the Space Marines take genetic material from in order to be the superhuman killing machines that they are) in a brutal civil war that spans years, taking literal trillions of lives and plunging humanity into near extinction, wiping out almost all hope of progress and peace among the stars. The characters you saw in the trailer were: - The Primarch Horus Lupercal, Warmaster and Arch-Betrayer (the main man of this trailer, decked in black armor wielding a giant claw and mace) - Sons of Horus Space Marines (traitorous Space Marines serving Horus, they are the ones in green.) - Imperial Fists Space Marines (Space Marines who remain loyal to humanity, the ones in yellow.) - Warlord Titans of Mars (the giant robots) If you really wanna know some lore, please bear with me, as it's VAST. The Horus Heresy is mainly told through a novel series that spans over a hundred total of books, short stories, and audio dramas. Short backstory (short by warhammer standards lol): There is an all-powerful man simply called the Emperor of Mankind. After unifying earth (called terra in the setting) following years of war due to the state of the earth being turned into what's basically sci-fi mad max, he decides to venture out of earth in order to conquer lost human worlds that they used to be in contact with before terrible galactic warp storms made FTL travel impossible. These storms dissipated and the Emperor took this chance to finally begin- as he calls it- his Great Crusade. He cannot do this alone however, so using his vast knowledge of bio-engineering coupled with his immense psychic power he creates 20 sons called the Primarchs. Before his plans were fully complete, the 4 dark gods of chaos (yes, dark gods and hell exists in this universe) stole his sons from him while they were still infants in their gestation pods, and too powerful to destroy, chucks them out each into random planets across the galaxy. In the wake of this, the Emperor gathered whatever remaining genetic material was left of the Primarchs and began work on augmenting regular men with their genes. This, coupled with extra augments and organs courtesy of the Emperor's design, were the beginning of the Space Marines. So with that, the Emperor finally launches his Great Crusade and one by one he searches for and finds his sons, the Primarchs. These Primarchs were then each gifted the Space Marine legions created with their genetic material, so they take these armies in as their "sons" both figuratively and literally. The Great Crusade goes pretty smoothly, worlds are rediscovered and reconquered, alien races are exterminated, and the Space Marine legions acquire greater glory for humanity. Over the course of this though 2 of the Primarchs and their Space Marines would become more or less exterminated and all records of them stripped from Imperial history, the reason for which is left vague. At the height of the Great Crusade an epic battle was won against the largest army of Orks ever recorded at the time (yes, orks exist in this universe). After this gigantic battle, the Emperor needed to return to earth in order to complete his plans that would allow humanity to prosper without having to rely on the dangerous realm of the warp for interstellar travel. Before leaving he grants Horus, his most trusted son, the title of "Warmaster", which effectively makes him the leader of all Imperial armies in the Emperor's absence. This was met with mixed reception by his brothers, the other Primarchs. Some felt they should've been warmaster, others felt Horus deserved the title. After many more decades of crusading, tragedy would strike. On the planet of Davin, Horus would be struck by a corrupted blade that even his demi-god-like abilities couldn't heal. Falling comatose, his sons would make the rash decision to bring him to the priests of Davin in hopes they could heal him. As it turns out, the entire population of Davin was corrupted by chaos and was working to corrupt Horus as well. Now it's hard to corrupt a Primarch both spiritually and physically, but ever since Horus was named Warmaster, he started having doubts in his mind. "Why would father leave us?" "Do I really deserve this title?". Those doubts caused cracks in his psyche that the gods exploited. They manipulated Horus into thinking that the Emperor was a tyrant who desires to enslave humanity in order to turn himself into a god (This was ironic considering the Emperor abolished all religion in place of science). Horus finally gave in and was turned to chaos. Convincing his sons and eventually a whole 8 other Primarchs (who all had individual doubts about their father) and their legions, he orchestrated full scale galactic civil war that would leave humanity in ruins all the while believing himself to be "saving" the species. The Horus Heresy as this war would later be called lasted around 9 years and found trillions of humans and hundreds of thousands of Space Marines dead. Primarchs too would also unbelievably be struck down, as 2 loyal Primarchs would die in defense of humanity. At the end of it all, Horus' forces were on earth itself. The Emperor, along with 2 Primarchs, their Space Marines, and the Emperor's own personal guard, teleported upon Horus' corrupted space ship called the Vengeful Spirit. Separated upon teleporting, each man fought to get to the bridge of the ship and kill Horus. The Emperor would get there eventually, but to his horror his son, the Primarch Sanguinius, would arrive there first but tragically died trying to defeat Horus. Then the Emperor and Horus fought. Each doing damage to each other but the Emperor sustaining more due to still believing his son to still be able to reject the evil that has corrupted him. Only after Horus casually and brutally obliterated a loyal servant trying to save the Emperor did he realize that his son was forever lost. Channeling his full psychic might, the Emperor blasted Horus so hard that he was ERASED from existence. Not even the gods could bring him back. Thus the traitors fled, and the war was finally won but not without great, great cost. The Emperor, nearly dead would be installed into a life support system known as the Golden Throne, where he would be kept barely alive and slowly rotting for the next 10,000 years while humanity begins to gradually fall into a state of fear and anarchy.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's basically the short of it. Apologies if it's an absolute chore to read, the Horus Heresy is a really fleshed out story and prequel to an even more fleshed out universe. I gotta make sure people know the full scope of what they're dealing with.
Very well done 'cliff notes' version of the major events of the Horus Heresy there. It is hilarious to me that this essay really is a very concise summary of the lore - 40K (in this case 30K) really takes deep lore to a new level. While there is plenty of action and what is colloquially known as 'bolter p*rn' mass scale sci fi warfare scenes, the character work in the Heresy novels is surprisingly good too. The way figures like Horus fall to Chaos and are corrupted by inches is so well handled, especially given how oddly likeable and legitimately charismatic the man who would go on to become the infamous Arch Traitor is when we first meet him in Horus Rising, only to see him slowly devolve into a monstrous abomination over the course of the series. The fall of other Traitor Primarchs is also much more impactful than one might expect. The tragedy of Angron's tale, the insidious warping of the prideful Fulgrim, the bitterness of Perturabo, the inner conflict of Mortarion, the list goes on. And the Loyalists are similarly compelling - Guilliman's struggle with what he sees as his obligation to carry on the Emperor's work, only to find he has founded Imperium Secundus in error and thus has arguably committed an act of Heresy on a par with Horus' own. The fatalistic Sanguinious tormented by an unwanted prescience. Dorn who is forced to mutilate the achievements of his father in the Imperial Palace to try to save his vision for the future. Leeman Russ and his compulsion to face Horus one on one in the manner of his Fenrisian culture despite the recklessness of that course of action. And that is just the Primarchs, before we even look at figures like Garviel Loken, Sigismund, or the man everyone loves to hate, Erebus.
@@gregorygreenwood-nimmo4954 Thanks! Personally I've only read a few of the HH novels since I don't have the money nor time so I basically cobbled this up from months of reading the lexicanum and excerpts on reddit, watching lore videos, and the like.
Getting into the game: There's Warhammer 40,000 and The Horus Heresy (or "Warhammer 30,000", bc it's the prelude to the 40k setting). They have similar basic concepts, but play and function very differently. Heresy has much more of a narrative focus because of the nature of the setting - there's a massive civil war that is key to the time period. 40k is more of a sandbox - it's wackier, their are more factions than in the heresy, the big plot devices have been played out and now everyone's kind of just fighting over the scraps. 40k is probably easier for beginners to get into. The basic systems are a little simpler, there are bundle packs that let you start an army for a little cheaper than buying the components separately, and it mostly uses plastic miniatures (plastic is easier to work with and far less likely to bend, break or have casting flaws). However, it is designed with a three year cycle in mind - every three-ish years, a new edition comes out that rewrites the core rules drastically, and can often lead to some armies not working properly until they get their codex (army rulebook) updated. Games are generally played with a competitive mindset - you're playing to win, not build a narrative. Power creep and a constantly shifting meta with imbalanced armies are real issues that a lot of people have a major problem with. 30k has a somewhat more complicated ruleset (at least to my eyes, I've not played 30k but the new edition has me interested). The miniatures are more expensive and are mostly resin - this is harder to work with and is more prone to casting issues or breaking. However, a lot of core kits are being remade in plastic for the first time for this edition, which is a big selling point. The minis are also provided by a sister site to the main Games Workshop one, called Forge World. It has a much more narrative focus; you don't get Heresy tournaments, you get events where people come to play and see the story unfold, not with the explicit goal of winning. This is Heresy's 2nd edition, the first edition being released I think seven years ago? Because of this, and the way the rules interface differently, the game is much more balanced, there is no real meta or power creep to speak of, and playing only super-strong stuff to decimate your opponent is highly frowned upon. The Lore: It is the 31st millennium. Humanity has fallen from its peak 5,000 years ago as the main galactic power. Interstellar travel is rare, planets are isolated, and barbarism is rife. Then, on Terra (Earth), the Emperor appears. he is an immortal 10ft tall psyker (someone with psychic powers), and he unites Terra under his banner. Using his own genetic material, he creates 18 sons, called the Primarchs, and uses their genetic code to uplift normal mortal humans into super soldiers called the Legiones Astartes - the Space Marine Legions. However, the infant Primarchs are abducted and flung across the galaxy by the Dark Gods of Chaos. you see, psychic power originates from the Warp - an eerie alternate dimension, where souls go after death, and where the emotions of every living being manifest. There are four gods in the Warp, Khorne the Blood God, Tzeentch the Changer of Ways, Nurgle the Lord of Decay, and the Dark Prince Slaanesh. They flung the new Primarchs across the galaxy, forcing the Emperor to enact the next stage of his plan early - the Great Crusade, to unite humanity across the stars under his banner. Shenanigans ensue. The Emperor eventually gets all of his sons back. The first he finds is Horus, the dude in the trailer, and he grows very close to him, naming him Warmaster and leaving command of the Great Crusade to him. Yada yada, Chaos gods fuck with stuff and eventually corrupt Horus and 8 of his brothers to overthrow the Emperor, resulting in the galaxy-spanning Civil War known as the Horus Heresy. I am skipping a *lot* - really, a *LOT* - of details here, but you get the gist. Either way, the game(s) are fun, but are a little expensive to get started in initially. The hobby involves building and painting all of your minis, from the smallest guardsman to the largest Titan. Yes those are the giant mechs in the trailer. They're the size of a three-year-old and cost in the region of $1,500 dollars each. Just don't make them your first purchase and you'll be fine ;) If you do decide to take the plunge, welcome to the hobby! If not, this shit's pretty cool to stare at.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Warhammer 40,000. The Total War Warhammer is the fantasy setting, this one is the sci-fi setting. Luetin09's Beginner's Guide is a great introduction to 40K; and following on from that the Templin Institute's 40K videos are fantastic steps further into it. And if you want an animated series to consume, "Helsreach" by Richard Boylan is a feast.
There's been some great comments already. Definitely watch the Astartes video series. Bricky's series of explanatory videos are also amazing. If you want to watch the actual game check out Miniwargaming, Winters SEO, PlayOnTableTop, TableTop Tactics and so many more.
Yeah everybody wishes this was either a movie or game but it’s just a badass advertisement for one of the spinoff Warhammer 40 K table tops called Warhammer the horus heresy,which is a Civil War that takes place 10,000 years before the current Warhammer 40 K timeline. Honestly there’s almost 50 books all dedicated to the horus heresy & many many more stories in the warhammer universes in general(which is personally my favorite part of the hobby over the table top) but basics are the Emperor of man is trying to conquer the galaxy and has18(technicaly 20 but ignore that lol)sons(Primarchs)that lead his legions of super soldier space marines. towards the end of the crusade he goes off to work on a “secret project” and leaves his favorite son horus in charge, the “war master”. All kinds of issues occur but basically one of the biggest threats to the setting the chaos Gods begin to influence him,corrupt him,making him think the emperor doesn’t have what it takes or doesn’t have theirs or humanities best interest and is just another tyrant(which mighta been partly true depending on ur interpretation lol but anyway) he then proceeds to convince half of his brothers and legions to join him,starting the major civilwar called the horus heresy
Spoiler for the end of the war Basically ends with 3 of his sons dead 2 loyalist & horus (Maybe 4 but that’s complicated. looking at you Alpharius, you dick) The surviving traitors having officially joined chaos, ran to the “eye of terror” basically a giant warp tear in reality(like a wormhole) leading to the chaos realms or “the warp” & leaving the emperor so badly injured he’s basically referred to in the current setting as a living corpse having been plugged into this giant machine called “the golden throne” where he is allegedly slowly dying & also allegedly uses his vast psychic powers to help guide the imperium (The lore leave a fair amount up to theories lol)
I love you guys! How you react charges me even more! I reacted in exactly the same way. I watched it dozens and dozens of times! In this trailer, Abbadon's Dark Crusade's campaign looks amazing! "Let the seas boil! Let the stars fall!"
You just took a glimpse at what many have followed for several decades. There are numerous books out right now the details the events across the galaxy for the Horus Heresy. “This needs to be a movie!” Yes it does but it must be handled with extreme care. Passively just making a movie to satisfy a need on this particular sci fi genre will not do it any justice. A team that takes that on must…. And I repeat MUST follow the story and characters to the tee. No exceptions. This entire saga is great as it is and does not need any additional creative development. It is perfect the way it is.
If you guys are looking for a series of books that is an incredible introduction to the universe, I heavily recommend Eisenhorn. It is incredible and explains a decent chunk of the background as it goes
I want the game, the movie, the 55 season series, (Assuming 1 season per book) and anything else i can think of. The Horus Heresy is top tier material.
From a purely cinematic point of view, I think the earliest thing related to Warhammer 30-40k would be "The Last Church". Which is basically the audio rendition of an official short story. Then would come "Death of Hope" (which is fan made) and based on official novels as well ("The First heretic", "Know No fear", "Betrayer").
The Horus Heresy is an event or a period in the Warhammer universe, created by a UK tabletop wargaming company called Games Workshop. Think power armored super soldiers fighting over a clgiant galactic empire crumbling from within and going into a dark age of fear and ignorance, fighting against deamonic powers called Chaos.
In 40K lore in 10,000 years in the future man kind was having a crusade to concurs solar systems. There was an emperor of man who created 20 sons. His favorite son Horus who was the person you see in the begging of the trailer. He gets corrupted by chaos. So he has a huge civil war. Space marines against space marines. It looks like it will be a tabletop game. They have released two other videos showing some figures for Horus heresy. They have a ton of Horus heresy novels.
You guys need to understand. The Horus heresy is the background for Warhammer 40K it takes place in the 31st millennium so 10,000 years earlier. They decided to do the novelization of the Horus heresy and right now it's coming towards the end but it's at least over 50 plus novels. This is the trailer for the tabletop game which they already have stuff out but they finally decided to do some animations of it. Now if you want to buy a model of the Horus the warmaster you're probably looking at $109 plus shipping and handling. The horse Hersey is the science fiction equivalent of the war and the rebellion between God and His angels versus Lucifer lightbringer and his fallen angels. Big spoiler the Horace heresy ended with Horace mortally wounding the emperor while the emperor killed Horus. In the end the emperor was interred in The Golden Throne and that is when the Imperium went from being something that would bring humanity in the progress into a religion forming around the worship of the Emperor as humanities one true God and as a result retarding the progress of humanity
If you guys haven't seen it yet, then I'd recommend the Astartes fan film project on youtube. It has a video that stitches the five parts together, its about 20 minutes long in total. Yeah basically this is a trailer for a tabletop wargame, set in the grand past era of the Warhammer 40k setting, so rather than set in 40k, its set in 30k, when all the insane heroes and demi gods of man were about. There is actually a super long book series about this period in the history which is actually pretty good overall. The novel, Horus Rising by Dan Abnett gives a good intro to the setting. The actual wargame itself will be very fun I'm guessing. This trailer is to promote the second edition of this prequel game, and will have a launch box with the new models in it. If you have any further questions I'd be happy to answer or explain stuff. If you wanted a videogame in this setting though, then the Space Marine 2 game on next gen has a trailer and will probably be decent. Likely Gears of War-like in gameplay with some fun co op modes.
Except Horus was kind of tricked into doing it and pretty much every daemon and traitor knows him as a fool. Really, he's a cosmic joke at this point. To be fair though, it was a great joke.
The trailer is for the Horus Heresy tabletop game for warhammer set in the 30th millennium. Warhammer 40k is set 10,000 years after. You boys need to watch Bricky's video to get started and work back from there. Welcome to the darkness that is warhammer, FOR THE ALLFATHER 🤘🐺
1:10 oh, oh. Oh honey. React to every single warhammer 40k faction by bricky 4:58 and your wish shall be granted Watch Astartes. And know in awe that 1 dedicated fan made it.
I don't want to be a fan killer but it's for TABLETOP new miniatures for Horus Heresy series (like a hundred novels/books of awesome lore PRE set the events of Warhammer 40k main story line). Plastic models for Horus Heresy 18 legions/titans/primarchs (mb solar auxilia) etc. BUT there is still hope, the CA (Total War: Warhammer) said that they want to make a World War 1 game with new range combat mechanics etc, and AFTER that they are dreaming to make a Total War: Warhammer 40k or 30k (30k is Horus Heresy, it was 10 thousands years before 40k events). So, MAYBE someday we could play it some AAA game. If you want to check the scale of 40k universe you could check Bricky videos with BRIEF introduction to each faction ua-cam.com/video/xCGKPRiJp84/v-deo.html Every single Warhammer 40k (WH40k) Faction Explained | Part 1 - basically all Imperium of Man (which Horus betrayed) factions ua-cam.com/video/Y6jnsX77TCU/v-deo.html Every single Warhammer 40k (WH40k) Faction Explained | Part 2 - daemons, chaos and xenos Or some awesome Templin institute lore videos If you want to know more in a short videos about some famous 40k factions like imperium, tyranids, necrons or orks, I highly recommend to react to awesome Templin Institute 40k lore videos (they are one of the best in short terms): ua-cam.com/video/Z9xMnVfg_n0/v-deo.html Imperium of man lore ua-cam.com/video/DRaSbuV_LNQ/v-deo.html Tyranids (basically Blizzard's Zergs were inspired by the Tyranids lore) ua-cam.com/video/kCSTBnOByvs/v-deo.html - Necrons lore ua-cam.com/video/EGwQTsW7OZU/v-deo.html Orks lore All of them has awesome visuals (from 40k games or great artworks). 40k has some gret RTS game like Dawn of War 1-2 (WE DON'T talk about DoW-3 only it's awesome trailer for this shitty game) and Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 - it has awesome trailers and cutscenes. Peace to your home.
Hey Guys, love seeing people getting into Warhammer 40k. This game is a tabletop game set 10,000 years in the past compared to the main game which is Warhammer 40,000. You should watch the Warhammer 40,000 cinematic. Welcome to the Grim Dark 🙂
Its a Trailer for New minis. They turned off coments so that we cant complain after we though we would get an animated Verion of the Horus Heresy Novels
Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean. It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself. Watch atsartes. The new edition trailer. Emperor's text to speech device and most importantly The Last Church. Lotta content for you.
If you want books, read the first three books of The Horus Heresy. That'll give you the solid core of the story of the Heresy. For Warhammer 40K? As has been recommended, watch Bricky's videos.
The trailers are ridiculously amazing but yea it’s just a table top game haha. I paint the minis myself but I don’t play I just collect them. Working on my Black Templars as of now
If you wanna grasp a slight piece of how awesome this universe is, please react to *40K Lore For Newcomers - Who Are... The Space Marines?* by the channel 40k Theories. It's only about one specific faction, but that faction has a LOT of lore behind it. I'll post a link in the replies in case links are held under review.
"What requirements do I need to fulfill to play this game right now?" Sell a kidney or maybe your firstborn, cause that might get you enough money to buy a full army lol. I'm joking but only kind of. I'm currently budgeting for a new Warhammer 40k army, and if I buy new and not used, to get the full army of 2000 points would cost me roughly $800 dollars in little plastic army men that I have to assemble and paint myself. The assembling and painting is part of the hobby, but so is the cost. Games Workshop created one of the coolest sci fi universes in existence and they charge a premium for it in every way they can. Their models are really good, but even I struggle to justify spending the money to myself. Thankfully I've found some really good deals on preowned models that have cut that cost a great deal, but still, you get the point I'm sure lol.
*Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer* if you want the low voice of an storyteller with actual original stories and lore then he is your man. Longish videos 30-60 mins. *Majorkill* if you want edgy jokes with an australian accent. 10-15 min videos. *Oculus Imperialis* if you like to get your lore through a man roleplaying as a rememberancer (historian) of the Warhammer 40k universe. 20-30 min long videos. *Luetin09* in depth facts and some speculation about the more obscure parts of the universe, miniatures and little about the books. 25-80 min long videos. *Wolf Lord Rho* mainly about talking and speculating about specific people or events by referencing the books related to them or talking about the books themselves. Both factual and speculative with the true fan boy enthusiasm. 10-20min videos. Can't recommend all of them enough.
the turned off the comments section because they have done such a good job recently of pissing off and alienating their fans that they dont wanna see it get meta bombed in the comments section. I love the 40k universe, the setting is truely Grim Dark, but the company that owns it is cancer in its rawest form. gw doesn't care about its fans beyond what it can squeeze from their wallets. love the setting, hate the company.
Think of the Horus Heresy as Lucifer's Rebellion from the Bible, and you can get the general outline. The Horus Heresy is a civil war amped up past twenty, with worlds ruined (and murdered), a death toll with more zeroes than a whole classroom (heck, a WHOLE SCHOOL) has fingers and toes, and the fate of humanity on the line. No, few science fiction genres come close to WH40K. Forget Star Wars. Forget Star Trek. You want absolute, utter hell on your doorstep (and fingertips), bragging rights and a chance to die throttling a daemon (and making sure it stays dead for bloody eternity) or an oversized monster (making sure it literally eats a grenade and sports a hole all the way to its brain), WH40K is for you.
Literally GamesWork Shop, Literally E V E R Y O N E is asking for a movie/show/series of Warhammer I swear money will be thrown at you from all directions
Start with bricky 40k explained, he gives a base level touch on everything. Its long but worth while guys. Its kinda honorary introduction here on youtube for newcomers. Warhammer is a very deep rabbit hole. Warhammer 40k is a board game, video games, and book series spanning roughly 30 years. After bricky move onto lutin, baldermort, oculus imperia and templin institute. But one day i hope u return to this comment once u are into the universe and understand. In nomine Imperatoris -40k high gothic
What makes Warhammer 40K so amazing is it’s lore. The mix of sci fi and religious gothic atmosphere makes it so unique compared to other stories. It’s also war on a scale that makes Star Wars and marvel comics look like it’s for toddlers. It takes Grimdark to a whole new meaning . Basically it’s a universe where there are no good guys and that everybody has the powers of the Gods , and the aliens take nightmares to a whole new level and then on top of all it . You also have to fight the forces of Hell in the form of galaxy destroying armies of demons.

And yes - everyone and their aunt wants a movie series set in the Horus Heresy era, but it would be a truly vast undertaking and GW is new to the animation scene. It will be a while before they are ready to take on a project of such scale.
HH would have to be a multi, multi-season show on HBO. The problem would be that if it was done faithfully it should make you want to puke.
@@PoofyKittyPants Very true. I don't think the mainstream audience is ready for the full fat Horus Heresy, and without a safe bet on return on investment getting the funding for that type of long form show would be difficult. Can you imagine the pitch meeting? The danger of course is that the money men love the general idea and aesthetic, they just want to make a few 'little changes' to make the IP' more viable for the new medium', and before you know it 40K is getting the full Star Wars treatment all in the name of palatability for a wider audience.
So Warhammer 50k?
@@Lionheart1188 Warhammer 30k. HH takes place in the 31st millennium and 40k is the 41st millennium.
You can think of the Horus Heresy as the reason there is only war in the grim, dark future.
Just like a Tesseract Labyrinth.
There has never been such a badass trailer for a tabletop game, I’m here for it. My white scars are ready for the defense of Terra.
And my Emperor’s Children are ready to invade!
@@glitchyboi-nk1qv I heard you do strange things to your warriors
I have my blood ravens.
Basically, The Horus Heresy is a tabletop/board game spin-off of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game. It's basically a prequel setting that specifically focuses on humanity's re-conquering of the galaxy after tens and thousands of years of galactic turmoil. It focuses even more specifically on the genetically engineered Space Marines and their Primarchs (the generals that the Space Marines take genetic material from in order to be the superhuman killing machines that they are) in a brutal civil war that spans years, taking literal trillions of lives and plunging humanity into near extinction, wiping out almost all hope of progress and peace among the stars.
The characters you saw in the trailer were:
- The Primarch Horus Lupercal, Warmaster and Arch-Betrayer (the main man of this trailer, decked in black armor wielding a giant claw and mace)
- Sons of Horus Space Marines (traitorous Space Marines serving Horus, they are the ones in green.)
- Imperial Fists Space Marines (Space Marines who remain loyal to humanity, the ones in yellow.)
- Warlord Titans of Mars (the giant robots)
If you really wanna know some lore, please bear with me, as it's VAST. The Horus Heresy is mainly told through a novel series that spans over a hundred total of books, short stories, and audio dramas.
Short backstory (short by warhammer standards lol):
There is an all-powerful man simply called the Emperor of Mankind. After unifying earth (called terra in the setting) following years of war due to the state of the earth being turned into what's basically sci-fi mad max, he decides to venture out of earth in order to conquer lost human worlds that they used to be in contact with before terrible galactic warp storms made FTL travel impossible. These storms dissipated and the Emperor took this chance to finally begin- as he calls it- his Great Crusade. He cannot do this alone however, so using his vast knowledge of bio-engineering coupled with his immense psychic power he creates 20 sons called the Primarchs. Before his plans were fully complete, the 4 dark gods of chaos (yes, dark gods and hell exists in this universe) stole his sons from him while they were still infants in their gestation pods, and too powerful to destroy, chucks them out each into random planets across the galaxy. In the wake of this, the Emperor gathered whatever remaining genetic material was left of the Primarchs and began work on augmenting regular men with their genes. This, coupled with extra augments and organs courtesy of the Emperor's design, were the beginning of the Space Marines. So with that, the Emperor finally launches his Great Crusade and one by one he searches for and finds his sons, the Primarchs.
These Primarchs were then each gifted the Space Marine legions created with their genetic material, so they take these armies in as their "sons" both figuratively and literally. The Great Crusade goes pretty smoothly, worlds are rediscovered and reconquered, alien races are exterminated, and the Space Marine legions acquire greater glory for humanity. Over the course of this though 2 of the Primarchs and their Space Marines would become more or less exterminated and all records of them stripped from Imperial history, the reason for which is left vague.
At the height of the Great Crusade an epic battle was won against the largest army of Orks ever recorded at the time (yes, orks exist in this universe). After this gigantic battle, the Emperor needed to return to earth in order to complete his plans that would allow humanity to prosper without having to rely on the dangerous realm of the warp for interstellar travel. Before leaving he grants Horus, his most trusted son, the title of "Warmaster", which effectively makes him the leader of all Imperial armies in the Emperor's absence. This was met with mixed reception by his brothers, the other Primarchs. Some felt they should've been warmaster, others felt Horus deserved the title. After many more decades of crusading, tragedy would strike. On the planet of Davin, Horus would be struck by a corrupted blade that even his demi-god-like abilities couldn't heal. Falling comatose, his sons would make the rash decision to bring him to the priests of Davin in hopes they could heal him. As it turns out, the entire population of Davin was corrupted by chaos and was working to corrupt Horus as well. Now it's hard to corrupt a Primarch both spiritually and physically, but ever since Horus was named Warmaster, he started having doubts in his mind. "Why would father leave us?" "Do I really deserve this title?". Those doubts caused cracks in his psyche that the gods exploited. They manipulated Horus into thinking that the Emperor was a tyrant who desires to enslave humanity in order to turn himself into a god (This was ironic considering the Emperor abolished all religion in place of science). Horus finally gave in and was turned to chaos. Convincing his sons and eventually a whole 8 other Primarchs (who all had individual doubts about their father) and their legions, he orchestrated full scale galactic civil war that would leave humanity in ruins all the while believing himself to be "saving" the species.
The Horus Heresy as this war would later be called lasted around 9 years and found trillions of humans and hundreds of thousands of Space Marines dead. Primarchs too would also unbelievably be struck down, as 2 loyal Primarchs would die in defense of humanity. At the end of it all, Horus' forces were on earth itself. The Emperor, along with 2 Primarchs, their Space Marines, and the Emperor's own personal guard, teleported upon Horus' corrupted space ship called the Vengeful Spirit. Separated upon teleporting, each man fought to get to the bridge of the ship and kill Horus. The Emperor would get there eventually, but to his horror his son, the Primarch Sanguinius, would arrive there first but tragically died trying to defeat Horus. Then the Emperor and Horus fought. Each doing damage to each other but the Emperor sustaining more due to still believing his son to still be able to reject the evil that has corrupted him. Only after Horus casually and brutally obliterated a loyal servant trying to save the Emperor did he realize that his son was forever lost. Channeling his full psychic might, the Emperor blasted Horus so hard that he was ERASED from existence. Not even the gods could bring him back. Thus the traitors fled, and the war was finally won but not without great, great cost. The Emperor, nearly dead would be installed into a life support system known as the Golden Throne, where he would be kept barely alive and slowly rotting for the next 10,000 years while humanity begins to gradually fall into a state of fear and anarchy.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's basically the short of it. Apologies if it's an absolute chore to read, the Horus Heresy is a really fleshed out story and prequel to an even more fleshed out universe. I gotta make sure people know the full scope of what they're dealing with.
Very well done 'cliff notes' version of the major events of the Horus Heresy there. It is hilarious to me that this essay really is a very concise summary of the lore - 40K (in this case 30K) really takes deep lore to a new level.
While there is plenty of action and what is colloquially known as 'bolter p*rn' mass scale sci fi warfare scenes, the character work in the Heresy novels is surprisingly good too. The way figures like Horus fall to Chaos and are corrupted by inches is so well handled, especially given how oddly likeable and legitimately charismatic the man who would go on to become the infamous Arch Traitor is when we first meet him in Horus Rising, only to see him slowly devolve into a monstrous abomination over the course of the series. The fall of other Traitor Primarchs is also much more impactful than one might expect. The tragedy of Angron's tale, the insidious warping of the prideful Fulgrim, the bitterness of Perturabo, the inner conflict of Mortarion, the list goes on. And the Loyalists are similarly compelling - Guilliman's struggle with what he sees as his obligation to carry on the Emperor's work, only to find he has founded Imperium Secundus in error and thus has arguably committed an act of Heresy on a par with Horus' own. The fatalistic Sanguinious tormented by an unwanted prescience. Dorn who is forced to mutilate the achievements of his father in the Imperial Palace to try to save his vision for the future. Leeman Russ and his compulsion to face Horus one on one in the manner of his Fenrisian culture despite the recklessness of that course of action. And that is just the Primarchs, before we even look at figures like Garviel Loken, Sigismund, or the man everyone loves to hate, Erebus.
@@gregorygreenwood-nimmo4954 Thanks! Personally I've only read a few of the HH novels since I don't have the money nor time so I basically cobbled this up from months of reading the lexicanum and excerpts on reddit, watching lore videos, and the like.
Getting into the game:
There's Warhammer 40,000 and The Horus Heresy (or "Warhammer 30,000", bc it's the prelude to the 40k setting). They have similar basic concepts, but play and function very differently. Heresy has much more of a narrative focus because of the nature of the setting - there's a massive civil war that is key to the time period. 40k is more of a sandbox - it's wackier, their are more factions than in the heresy, the big plot devices have been played out and now everyone's kind of just fighting over the scraps.
40k is probably easier for beginners to get into. The basic systems are a little simpler, there are bundle packs that let you start an army for a little cheaper than buying the components separately, and it mostly uses plastic miniatures (plastic is easier to work with and far less likely to bend, break or have casting flaws). However, it is designed with a three year cycle in mind - every three-ish years, a new edition comes out that rewrites the core rules drastically, and can often lead to some armies not working properly until they get their codex (army rulebook) updated. Games are generally played with a competitive mindset - you're playing to win, not build a narrative. Power creep and a constantly shifting meta with imbalanced armies are real issues that a lot of people have a major problem with.
30k has a somewhat more complicated ruleset (at least to my eyes, I've not played 30k but the new edition has me interested). The miniatures are more expensive and are mostly resin - this is harder to work with and is more prone to casting issues or breaking. However, a lot of core kits are being remade in plastic for the first time for this edition, which is a big selling point. The minis are also provided by a sister site to the main Games Workshop one, called Forge World. It has a much more narrative focus; you don't get Heresy tournaments, you get events where people come to play and see the story unfold, not with the explicit goal of winning. This is Heresy's 2nd edition, the first edition being released I think seven years ago? Because of this, and the way the rules interface differently, the game is much more balanced, there is no real meta or power creep to speak of, and playing only super-strong stuff to decimate your opponent is highly frowned upon.
The Lore:
It is the 31st millennium. Humanity has fallen from its peak 5,000 years ago as the main galactic power. Interstellar travel is rare, planets are isolated, and barbarism is rife. Then, on Terra (Earth), the Emperor appears. he is an immortal 10ft tall psyker (someone with psychic powers), and he unites Terra under his banner. Using his own genetic material, he creates 18 sons, called the Primarchs, and uses their genetic code to uplift normal mortal humans into super soldiers called the Legiones Astartes - the Space Marine Legions. However, the infant Primarchs are abducted and flung across the galaxy by the Dark Gods of Chaos. you see, psychic power originates from the Warp - an eerie alternate dimension, where souls go after death, and where the emotions of every living being manifest. There are four gods in the Warp, Khorne the Blood God, Tzeentch the Changer of Ways, Nurgle the Lord of Decay, and the Dark Prince Slaanesh. They flung the new Primarchs across the galaxy, forcing the Emperor to enact the next stage of his plan early - the Great Crusade, to unite humanity across the stars under his banner.
Shenanigans ensue.
The Emperor eventually gets all of his sons back. The first he finds is Horus, the dude in the trailer, and he grows very close to him, naming him Warmaster and leaving command of the Great Crusade to him. Yada yada, Chaos gods fuck with stuff and eventually corrupt Horus and 8 of his brothers to overthrow the Emperor, resulting in the galaxy-spanning Civil War known as the Horus Heresy. I am skipping a *lot* - really, a *LOT* - of details here, but you get the gist.
Either way, the game(s) are fun, but are a little expensive to get started in initially. The hobby involves building and painting all of your minis, from the smallest guardsman to the largest Titan. Yes those are the giant mechs in the trailer. They're the size of a three-year-old and cost in the region of $1,500 dollars each. Just don't make them your first purchase and you'll be fine ;)
If you do decide to take the plunge, welcome to the hobby! If not, this shit's pretty cool to stare at.
THEY NEED THIS TO BE A LIVE MOVIE,
8 months later you’ve got your wish. Henry Cavil making the warhammer 40k series
@@nicko1ai427Unfortunately I don't think that will go well either.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Warhammer 40,000. The Total War Warhammer is the fantasy setting, this one is the sci-fi setting.
Luetin09's Beginner's Guide is a great introduction to 40K; and following on from that the Templin Institute's 40K videos are fantastic steps further into it. And if you want an animated series to consume, "Helsreach" by Richard Boylan is a feast.
Don't forget Bricky's every faction video
Adeptus Ridicoulus and Luetin09 are a great easy gateway into Warhammer 40k lore. and then.. there's the million books :P
This trailer is what I saw in my head as a kid when I saw the miniatures on the table.
It's a trailer for 30K a separate (not new) tabeltop game.
This comes before 40K in the time line in universe. Indeed it is like TOR.
There's been some great comments already. Definitely watch the Astartes video series. Bricky's series of explanatory videos are also amazing. If you want to watch the actual game check out Miniwargaming, Winters SEO, PlayOnTableTop, TableTop Tactics and so many more.
The Horus Hersey trailer should be considered the best cinematic trailer of 2022.
Yeah everybody wishes this was either a movie or game but it’s just a badass advertisement for one of the spinoff Warhammer 40 K table tops called Warhammer the horus heresy,which is a Civil War that takes place 10,000 years before the current Warhammer 40 K timeline.
Honestly there’s almost 50 books all dedicated to the horus heresy & many many more stories in the warhammer universes in general(which is personally my favorite part of the hobby over the table top)
but basics are the Emperor of man is trying to conquer the galaxy and has18(technicaly 20 but ignore that lol)sons(Primarchs)that lead his legions of super soldier space marines. towards the end of the crusade he goes off to work on a “secret project” and leaves his favorite son horus in charge, the “war master”. All kinds of issues occur but basically one of the biggest threats to the setting the chaos Gods begin to influence him,corrupt him,making him think the emperor doesn’t have what it takes or doesn’t have theirs or humanities best interest and is just another tyrant(which mighta been partly true depending on ur interpretation lol but anyway) he then proceeds to convince half of his brothers and legions to join him,starting the major civilwar called the horus heresy
Spoiler for the end of the war
Basically ends with 3 of his sons dead 2 loyalist & horus (Maybe 4 but that’s complicated. looking at you Alpharius, you dick) The surviving traitors having officially joined chaos, ran to the “eye of terror” basically a giant warp tear in reality(like a wormhole) leading to the chaos realms or “the warp” & leaving the emperor so badly injured he’s basically referred to in the current setting as a living corpse having been plugged into this giant machine called “the golden throne” where he is allegedly slowly dying & also allegedly uses his vast psychic powers to help guide the imperium (The lore leave a fair amount up to theories lol)
And ya warhammer lore is goes DEEP. I would say either equal to or more than most other deep lore universe
Think it's up past 70 by now for the Horus Heresy novels. I know it's past 50.
@@hunterwaguespack3963 yeah dude. It's over 40 years now :D
Fuck I feel old now after playing in the early 90's lol
I love you guys! How you react charges me even more! I reacted in exactly the same way. I watched it dozens and dozens of times! In this trailer, Abbadon's Dark Crusade's campaign looks amazing! "Let the seas boil! Let the stars fall!"
You just took a glimpse at what many have followed for several decades. There are numerous books out right now the details the events across the galaxy for the Horus Heresy.
“This needs to be a movie!”
Yes it does but it must be handled with extreme care.
Passively just making a movie to satisfy a need on this particular sci fi genre will not do it any justice.
A team that takes that on must…. And I repeat MUST follow the story and characters to the tee. No exceptions.
This entire saga is great as it is and does not need any additional creative development. It is perfect the way it is.
If you guys are looking for a series of books that is an incredible introduction to the universe, I heavily recommend Eisenhorn. It is incredible and explains a decent chunk of the background as it goes
Hi guys it's based off the series of books of the same name in Warhammer 40k and a tabletop game
I want the game, the movie, the 55 season series, (Assuming 1 season per book) and anything else i can think of. The Horus Heresy is top tier material.
I loved that Bionicle comment!
From a purely cinematic point of view, I think the earliest thing related to Warhammer 30-40k would be "The Last Church".
Which is basically the audio rendition of an official short story.
Then would come "Death of Hope" (which is fan made) and based on official novels as well ("The First heretic", "Know No fear", "Betrayer").
The Horus Heresy is a huge series of books written by best selling authors too
The Horus Heresy is an event or a period in the Warhammer universe, created by a UK tabletop wargaming company called Games Workshop. Think power armored super soldiers fighting over a clgiant galactic empire crumbling from within and going into a dark age of fear and ignorance, fighting against deamonic powers called Chaos.
The shut is amazing 🤩 I know. This definitely needs a movie and tv shiw
We would LOVE to see a show. I think it would do the best on Amazon Prime.
In 40K lore in 10,000 years in the future man kind was having a crusade to concurs solar systems. There was an emperor of man who created 20 sons. His favorite son Horus who was the person you see in the begging of the trailer. He gets corrupted by chaos. So he has a huge civil war. Space marines against space marines. It looks like it will be a tabletop game. They have released two other videos showing some figures for Horus heresy. They have a ton of Horus heresy novels.
Gentlemen, welcome to Warhammer. I'll warn you now, it's a deep well to fall into!
Dont let Netflix touch this universe. Let HBO and a reputable producer handle the series about it.
Like he said, let the 🌌 BURN!
You guys need to understand. The Horus heresy is the background for Warhammer 40K it takes place in the 31st millennium so 10,000 years earlier. They decided to do the novelization of the Horus heresy and right now it's coming towards the end but it's at least over 50 plus novels. This is the trailer for the tabletop game which they already have stuff out but they finally decided to do some animations of it. Now if you want to buy a model of the Horus the warmaster you're probably looking at $109 plus shipping and handling.
The horse Hersey is the science fiction equivalent of the war and the rebellion between God and His angels versus Lucifer lightbringer and his fallen angels.
Big spoiler the Horace heresy ended with Horace mortally wounding the emperor while the emperor killed Horus.
In the end the emperor was interred in The Golden Throne and that is when the Imperium went from being something that would bring humanity in the progress into a religion forming around the worship of the Emperor as humanities one true God and as a result retarding the progress of humanity
If you guys haven't seen it yet, then I'd recommend the Astartes fan film project on youtube. It has a video that stitches the five parts together, its about 20 minutes long in total.
Yeah basically this is a trailer for a tabletop wargame, set in the grand past era of the Warhammer 40k setting, so rather than set in 40k, its set in 30k, when all the insane heroes and demi gods of man were about. There is actually a super long book series about this period in the history which is actually pretty good overall. The novel, Horus Rising by Dan Abnett gives a good intro to the setting.
The actual wargame itself will be very fun I'm guessing. This trailer is to promote the second edition of this prequel game, and will have a launch box with the new models in it.
If you have any further questions I'd be happy to answer or explain stuff.
If you wanted a videogame in this setting though, then the Space Marine 2 game on next gen has a trailer and will probably be decent. Likely Gears of War-like in gameplay with some fun co op modes.
After seeing this, I suddenly understood why Horus and his enlightened legions rebelled against the false emperor.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
Except Horus was kind of tricked into doing it and pretty much every daemon and traitor knows him as a fool. Really, he's a cosmic joke at this point. To be fair though, it was a great joke.
@@dagonofthedepths Just because he was "artfully persuaded" to rebel against the false emperor doesn't mean he was wrong. CHAOS WILL WIN!! RAAAGHH!!
@@pabbischannel8812 the emperor literally went super saiyan and wiped him from existence tho
"bionicle movies" he says. Made my day man! Unity Duty Destiny my brothers in Mata Nui
The trailer is for the Horus Heresy tabletop game for warhammer set in the 30th millennium. Warhammer 40k is set 10,000 years after. You boys need to watch Bricky's video to get started and work back from there. Welcome to the darkness that is warhammer, FOR THE ALLFATHER 🤘🐺
This is not a game. This is a trailer for a new "season" for lore and codex for the 40k tabletop game.
You guys should watch a warhammer fan animation called "Astartes"
Its considered the best warhammer animation.
1:10 oh, oh. Oh honey.
React to every single warhammer 40k faction by bricky
4:58 and your wish shall be granted
Watch Astartes. And know in awe that 1 dedicated fan made it.
LET THE GALAXY BURN!
I'm not a die hard 40k fan but I know how significant doing the horus heresy is having read the book. Omg if the emperor is animated....
I don't want to be a fan killer but it's for TABLETOP new miniatures for Horus Heresy series (like a hundred novels/books of awesome lore PRE set the events of Warhammer 40k main story line).
Plastic models for Horus Heresy 18 legions/titans/primarchs (mb solar auxilia) etc.
BUT there is still hope, the CA (Total War: Warhammer) said that they want to make a World War 1 game with new range combat mechanics etc, and AFTER that they are dreaming to make a Total War: Warhammer 40k or 30k (30k is Horus Heresy, it was 10 thousands years before 40k events).
So, MAYBE someday we could play it some AAA game.
If you want to check the scale of 40k universe you could check Bricky videos with BRIEF introduction to each faction
ua-cam.com/video/xCGKPRiJp84/v-deo.html Every single Warhammer 40k (WH40k) Faction Explained | Part 1 - basically all Imperium of Man (which Horus betrayed) factions
ua-cam.com/video/Y6jnsX77TCU/v-deo.html Every single Warhammer 40k (WH40k) Faction Explained | Part 2 - daemons, chaos and xenos
Or some awesome Templin institute lore videos If you want to know more in a short videos about some famous 40k factions like imperium, tyranids, necrons or orks, I highly recommend to react to awesome Templin Institute 40k lore videos (they are one of the best in short terms):
ua-cam.com/video/Z9xMnVfg_n0/v-deo.html Imperium of man lore
ua-cam.com/video/DRaSbuV_LNQ/v-deo.html Tyranids (basically Blizzard's Zergs were inspired by the Tyranids lore)
ua-cam.com/video/kCSTBnOByvs/v-deo.html - Necrons lore
ua-cam.com/video/EGwQTsW7OZU/v-deo.html Orks lore
All of them has awesome visuals (from 40k games or great artworks).
40k has some gret RTS game like Dawn of War 1-2 (WE DON'T talk about DoW-3 only it's awesome trailer for this shitty game) and Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 - it has awesome trailers and cutscenes.
Peace to your home.
You MUST watch Astartes.
It will blow your mind.
You got to see the last church 👍👍👍
Hey Guys, love seeing people getting into Warhammer 40k. This game is a tabletop game set 10,000 years in the past compared to the main game which is Warhammer 40,000. You should watch the Warhammer 40,000 cinematic. Welcome to the Grim Dark 🙂
A border prince lore galore
We're all in luck - Amazon prime with Henry Cavil are officially making an entire live action cinematic universe! 😊
Bruh this is a board game XD. You should watch astartes and the 40k cinematic trailer.
Not a board game, it is a miniature wargame (tabletop)
Its a Trailer for New minis. They turned off coments so that we cant complain after we though we would get an animated Verion of the Horus Heresy Novels
What requirements? ALL OF THEM!!!
Let the Galaxy burn!
I'm pretty sure the guy who made Astardes heavily influenced this since He now works for Game's Workshop
Burn the heretic.
Kill the mutant.
Purge the unclean.
It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself.
Watch atsartes. The new edition trailer. Emperor's text to speech device and most importantly The Last Church. Lotta content for you.
"Give us a lil lore" Oh my dear friends, you have noo idea what you just got yourselves into. (Your comic fans so you'll do just fine)
This was a trailer for a new edition of a table top game
Big Big Big ups to Astartes and Death of Hope creators they blatantly influenced this... Heresy hahah awesomeness ta much :)
Dudes after get the first knowledge of this, Welcome to Warhammer 40k where ther is only War!!
If you want books, read the first three books of The Horus Heresy. That'll give you the solid core of the story of the Heresy. For Warhammer 40K? As has been recommended, watch Bricky's videos.
This stuff has been going on since the 1980's dudes : D
I really wish this was a movie
The best reaction
Warhammer 40k lore puts the amazing and huge Star Wars expanded universe lore to shame. The depth and span of it beggers the imagination.
Amazon is making a series on it starring Henry Cavill
The trailers are ridiculously amazing but yea it’s just a table top game haha. I paint the minis myself but I don’t play I just collect them. Working on my Black Templars as of now
If you wanna grasp a slight piece of how awesome this universe is, please react to *40K Lore For Newcomers - Who Are... The Space Marines?* by the channel 40k Theories. It's only about one specific faction, but that faction has a LOT of lore behind it. I'll post a link in the replies in case links are held under review.
The vid: ua-cam.com/video/mvWBqyYkboo/v-deo.html
Did ya'll watch "Astartes"? Fanmade, by 1 single person! 5x 1-3 min episodes. It rivals Pixar.
You seemed to enjoy this 😂
There are a few shows on something called warhammer + and there amazing
If you want lore there is 600+ novels set in the universe to read.
"What requirements do I need to fulfill to play this game right now?"
Sell a kidney or maybe your firstborn, cause that might get you enough money to buy a full army lol. I'm joking but only kind of. I'm currently budgeting for a new Warhammer 40k army, and if I buy new and not used, to get the full army of 2000 points would cost me roughly $800 dollars in little plastic army men that I have to assemble and paint myself.
The assembling and painting is part of the hobby, but so is the cost. Games Workshop created one of the coolest sci fi universes in existence and they charge a premium for it in every way they can. Their models are really good, but even I struggle to justify spending the money to myself. Thankfully I've found some really good deals on preowned models that have cut that cost a great deal, but still, you get the point I'm sure lol.
If you want to be scared react to baldermorts night lords video they are the scariest marines in 40k
*Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer* if you want the low voice of an storyteller with actual original stories and lore then he is your man. Longish videos 30-60 mins.
*Majorkill* if you want edgy jokes with an australian accent. 10-15 min videos.
*Oculus Imperialis* if you like to get your lore through a man roleplaying as a rememberancer (historian) of the Warhammer 40k universe. 20-30 min long videos.
*Luetin09* in depth facts and some speculation about the more obscure parts of the universe, miniatures and little about the books. 25-80 min long videos.
*Wolf Lord Rho* mainly about talking and speculating about specific people or events by referencing the books related to them or talking about the books themselves. Both factual and speculative with the true fan boy enthusiasm. 10-20min videos.
Can't recommend all of them enough.
And Adeptus Ridiculous.
Watch ASTARTES next
Bit late here but could anyone let me know when there first 40k vid is so I can watch there reactions from there
If you like the trailers then read some lore books and enjoy channels such as amber king or grimdark narrator.
There's 55 Horus heresy novels
SAD this isn't movie, It's just cinematic for new model in tabletop but I heard new warhammer 40k: Nihilus game with henry cavill is coming soon.
Have you guys reacted to astartes yet?
the turned off the comments section because they have done such a good job recently of pissing off and alienating their fans that they dont wanna see it get meta bombed in the comments section. I love the 40k universe, the setting is truely Grim Dark, but the company that owns it is cancer in its rawest form. gw doesn't care about its fans beyond what it can squeeze from their wallets.
love the setting, hate the company.
Total war and warhammer are 2 different IPs. Total war makes the game and warhammer contributed lore and designs.

Nice
"Give us a little lore" dear God you don't know what your asking for
feel your testosterone rising while watching that.
It's not a video game. GW doesn't make video games, other companies do for them. If GW puts out a trailer it's for their tabletop wargames.
Think of the Horus Heresy as Lucifer's Rebellion from the Bible, and you can get the general outline. The Horus Heresy is a civil war amped up past twenty, with worlds ruined (and murdered), a death toll with more zeroes than a whole classroom (heck, a WHOLE SCHOOL) has fingers and toes, and the fate of humanity on the line. No, few science fiction genres come close to WH40K. Forget Star Wars. Forget Star Trek. You want absolute, utter hell on your doorstep (and fingertips), bragging rights and a chance to die throttling a daemon (and making sure it stays dead for bloody eternity) or an oversized monster (making sure it literally eats a grenade and sports a hole all the way to its brain), WH40K is for you.
If you want lore go watch Luetin
Literally GamesWork Shop, Literally E V E R Y O N E is asking for a movie/show/series of Warhammer I swear money will be thrown at you from all directions
Go to Baldemort guides
Start with bricky 40k explained, he gives a base level touch on everything. Its long but worth while guys. Its kinda honorary introduction here on youtube for newcomers. Warhammer is a very deep rabbit hole. Warhammer 40k is a board game, video games, and book series spanning roughly 30 years. After bricky move onto lutin, baldermort, oculus imperia and templin institute.
But one day i hope u return to this comment once u are into the universe and understand.
In nomine Imperatoris -40k high gothic
Bricky gets so much shit wrong and his vocabulary is childish at best.
What makes Warhammer 40K so amazing is it’s lore. The mix of sci fi and religious gothic atmosphere makes it so unique compared to other stories. It’s also war on a scale that makes Star Wars and marvel comics look like it’s for toddlers. It takes Grimdark to a whole new meaning . Basically it’s a universe where there are no good guys and that everybody has the powers of the Gods , and the aliens take nightmares to a whole new level and then on top of all it . You also have to fight the forces of Hell in the form of galaxy destroying armies of demons.
this is a trailer for the tabletop game and not a video it will cost you alot of money
Gw makes ok trailers but craps op the table top players lately...
These reaction videos are becoming annoying. Over reactive “entertainers”
