    Which Halo Device do you prefer?
    The one that destroys all sentient life in the galaxy or the one that turns you into a fat cannibalistic demi god. Tough choice
    What isn't a tough choice is clicking this link : majorkill.com/ and picking up some the best damn miniatures the world has even seen

      @@vulkanofnocturne You can make small calculated jumps of a few lightyears without the Astronomicon, but anything bigger is just the navigators just trying to navigate the Warp by ear. Or you can set up small versions on planets like you suggested with a Pharos device, though most were lost in the Age of Strife.
      The Astronomicon itself requires the constant effort of The Emperor, The Golden Throne, 10,000 psykers at any given time and 1,000 of which burn out per day. Setting up mini versions of that outside the Astronomicon is beyond the tech and psyker abilities of the Imperium at "current" in any sustainable way.

    My favorite part about the Halo Stars is how it shows that we've only really scratched the surface when it comes to the 40k universe. The idea that there could be even greater threats than Chaos lurking within the universe is so hard to wrap your mind around and just goes to show that whenever the Imperium thinks they have things under control, they really don't, not in the slightest.

Then the Forunners developed the Halo Rings but instead of destroying the galaxy they destroy the region. Basically the Lovecraftian horrors of the stars are supper evolved flood (a Old One creation) maybe due to it being so demonic the emperor can’t see it. Then the races of Halo are just survivors of the initial blast. Humans had a similar idea to the emperor but toned down and made there little area. There travel might be a solution secretly made to avoid Warp or Webway travel due to the Flood. The Dark Eldar don’t go over there since they see the stars and go hell na. Now we have Halo

    Halo lore, specifically it's beginning, is similar with 40k when it comes to ancient beings creating sentient life to populate the galaxy. But in halo their names precursors and one of their children races (forerunners) killed most of them because they gave a totally legit title to man instead. Those who survived turned themselves into dust Wich the galaxy later snorts...
    But the dust was corrupted and became the flood Wich cults formed around it and thus it spread. Caused man and forerunners to fight with old man dieing out, the flood caused said fight because vengeance. The forerunners were getting punished so hard they had to build the giant onion rings you see today to kill themselves and repopulate the galaxy thus the flood starved, except those the forerunners kept alive because why not.

    "Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?"
    You get a hold of the Eldar, tell them we're going to perform a small culling war on the Dark Eldar, in a dual front war attempt to kill she who thirsts, and in the "year" that we are doing this with the Eldar in the Webway, we put every human on every world into hibernation. With Relatively "all" the Eldar confined to the Webway, and all the human's down, Galactic Scale, No emotions = no Warp food. the only thing left are a "few" Astartes Chapters with orders to simply extermanatus anything actively predating us during this down-time, to keep the Tyranids and Orcs from taking advantage, and the Grey Knights, who enter the Eye of Terror and make sure everything there dies, or "molded" into something more usable. Then we bring worlds back "online" one by one, maintaining control of the Eye of Terror as we do so. This is how we do the Eldar thing, and Craft Warp Gods instead of letting our sub-conscious have all the fun.

I've been playing D&D for over 20 years, but my Rogue Trader character is still my most advanced, detailed character, at over 40 MS Word pages long of stats, exploits, kit, and crap. It's just a shame my RPing friends never got into the 40k IP, and wanted to play Rogue Trader.
    Anyway, it was a great deal of fun to hear about the outer edge of where human ambition can go, before it gets reminded that the galaxy is huge, and there are nightmares made manifest out there.

Halo Device hosts can take a massive amount of punishment before they keel over and will eventually resurrect themselves from all but the most catastrophic damage, in some cases coming back from even that. Then there's the possibility that they'll go on the run. Even if they are aware of the side effects there's no telling if they'll retain enough of themselves to go through with being "retired", and with their memories being steadily overwritten, the urge to go rogue will likely be very persuasive.
      Long story short, it's impractically tricky for this plan to be put into action and plenty of things can go wrong.

    I’ve been developing/theory crafting my home brew marines chapter for a while and wanted to do a chapter influenced/allied with (maybe)the exodites, in search of ancient knowledge and with a monster slayer type vibe
    Only issue was finding a region where all this could be possible… helo Halo stars!!

    7:36 honestly would be tempted to take the Halo Device, considering my pessimistic view of world i would put it on second i saw it and become a monster after five years.
    Also what if Halo Devices were actually made during Dark Age Of Technology or during what ever time to turn people into true Ghouls?
    Incredible power, mentally and physically becoming a monster, wanting to eat human flesh are all checks.

    The halo stars ohh yes you finally got to them they are one of my favorite parts of 40k. And the warhammer hentai yes worth it entirely. The black templars are frankly nuts like our major kill host.

    Hey , just wanted to say that i think you really nailed the intro this time, and that you got really good at those "facing the camera" intros. Have a great day !

    I'm out. TTS is gone, and I feel nothing but rage and hate for warhammer. I really liked your videos, but I need to forget that warhammer even exists.
    Could you please use your influence to call for a crusade? This injustice must be ended.

    I find the Halo Devices fascinating. And the description of one Halo Device in particular to be incredibly unsettling in a very interesting way. The Psycharus Worm is described as “Appearing like a tarnished brass maggot some six inches in length, the worm is cold and greasy to the touch”. That description just oozes menace and makes it seem so sinister.

    My desire for humor wills me to subscribe.
    But my loyalty to Arch stays my hand.
    I know how they must of felt before the Heresy. To stay loyal to the Emperor or follow the charismatic Warmaster.

    Also, the Rogue Trader rpg's setting is placed in the Halo Stars (Koronus Expanse).
    We played a campaign once there, and the players could only conquer 1 planet where the native population was a gullible star trek race who desperately seek out to befriend some aliens, and the rest of the Expanse is basically a hellhole compared to that system.
    But even that planet was infested with hordes of Wanamingos from Fallout, and had a webway gate leading to Commorragh, (those dope xenos build their greatest city around the gate) so you can imagine what the not-so-chilly parts of the Expanse looked like.

    Maybe one of the lost Primarchs got ahold of some halo devices.

    in my opinion this is one of the best Warhammer 40k lore channel, is not boring, is not long and is complete.
