I mean, IIRC Lion had Emperor's personality and Sanguinius had Emperor's looks, so it kinda checks out. I mean, as a Primarch Lion was probably a peak human being and totally handsome, but lets be real, anybody is ugly compared to Sanguinius.
29:46 Context Horus is RECORDED to be the first Primarch found by the Emperor since Chaos split them all up across the galaxy, but Alpharius's book claims that he was the first as he landed right in Terra, and was kept a secret until his brothers were all found (and Omegon pretended to be him when Horus "found" him) So basically, Alpharius and Omegon, the Begining and the End, are simultaneously the first and last primarch found
18:36 One thing that isn't mentioned is that during their peak the Eldar could not die. When they died they just came back in the webway. That's why it was straight up ok to just murder eachother, death didn't even matter to them.
@@heisnotlongbutthinnot exactly. Now, when any aeldar dies, Slannesh yoinks their soul almost immediately and devours it, and the only way the craftworld aeldar escape this is through spirit stones that act like a safety net, catching their soul before Slannesh does and keeping it safe. They can’t be reborn from the stone, but it’s better than letting Slannesh get it. Meanwhile the Drukhari Haemonculi covens can regrow your entire body should you die as long as you gave them a small biological piece of yourself to them beforehand, though this is more creating a copy of yourself and not quite rebirth
@@RhantheSlayer it is a rebirth because by means that we dont know, they can snatch theyr souls back from slaneesh or before it gets to them IF they work fast enough. Many Dark Eldar are also vat grown so many are probably let go if they even have souls at all.
You're right about their immortality, but it wasn't through the webway, it was via the warp. The webway is essentially a pocket dimension sectioned off from the warp eons ago, and it is fairly well insulated from the immaterium through unknown means (The Emperor was only able to create a crude facsimile of the original barrier for his section, and look how that turned out). That's why the Drukhari survived the fall, while Slaanesh can exert a pull on their souls it cannot directly get at them. Compare that to the fate of any Aeldari within 1000ly of the eye when it opened. They died instantly and had their souls sucked right out
@@firmak2The Dark Eldar get away with it because they discovered a way to keep their souls attached to any body part as long as it is still alive. It's not uncommon for Dark Eldar to leave behind a finger or toe with the Humonculus guys to regrow their body from it. Craftworld Eldar are shit out of luck, without their Spirit Stones, or if the Spirit Stone is broken, when they die they go straight to Slaanesh. How the Exodites managed to avoid Slaanesh is currently unknown. And the Harliquins have their god, Ceggeroch to thank for that. He punked their souls from Slaanesh.
You do realize the humans were super close to being a 2nd fall of the eldar when Big E nearly became the dark king. The humans are juat as responsible for the state of teh galaxy. Besides, all of the elves directly responsible for the birth of slaanesh are dead in hell for all of Eternity. Contrary to popular and incorrect belief, the craftworlders had absolutely nothing to do with the birth of slaanesh. They off in the far reaches of the galaxy being normal people. 🖕
Ciaphas Cain is basically a story of a man with the biggest imposter syndrome in the history of mankind. It's told via logs, anecdotes, and commentary from other sources and sometimes some fact-checks from the man himself (he gets praised a lot and some of his actions get misconstrued as noble, but according to Cain, it's not and he just happened to suffer from success). The books have good humor mixed with some worldbuilding.
Ooh man, that one is a MUST WATCH. Great artistic style, great storytelling, passionate people behind it. Its so good. "The Last Church" is a must watch even if u dont know shit about WAR40k and are just watching some sci-fi film that happens to be a fantastic film. Its just so GOOD and so well done. And its a fanmade project if i recall correctly. Chills dude, chills! Cant recommend it enough.
Magnus was actually trying to stop the Horus Heresy. But instead of traveling to Terra to warn the emporer, he sent a psychic message that broke all the wards against chaos and the warp that protected Terra. It fucked up the webway project and let it be attacked by demons. It also caused the emporer to send the space wolves to bring in Magnus, which caused a battle and forced Magnus to turn to Tzeentch to save his legion.
@@ti8ickif you want to know more about the Emperor, and the more in depth parts of the lore in a still digestible fashion, I suggest you react to some stuff from the Templin Institute. They have a ton of very well done 40k videos, and and they are done beautifully, telling all the lore for a specific topic in less then 25 minutes more or less.
i was hooked pretty much the moment i knew what it was about. XD i've never played it but...... *_SHOW ME THE FURY OF YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!_*
Wasn't it revealed in the Siege of Terra series that it was one of the Emperors co-supporters, Erda, who yeeted the primarchs across the galaxy because she didn't agree with his plan?
The less said about Erda. Even for 40K, the Deus Ex Machina stink is strong on her. Came from nowhere to "fix" the scatter problem. Abnett is normally much better than Erda. So I believe that this solution was forced on him. How she was dealt with and by whom. Deus Ex Machina turned up to 40.
"Realm of Chaos" is also the title of an incredible album by the British band Bolt Thrower. All of the album artwork was done by Games Workshop, and, the songs are all WH40K based.
As many others have suggested I would say Lutein. I'd also recommend Brickys podcast Adeptus Ridiculous, maybe not on stream but if you just want to listen to something fun while learning. They have dedicated episodes for each primarch and their legion. Also Iron within, iron without
For an explanation on why the Emperor had to sit on the throne throughout the heresy. His Webway project was more than just giving humanity a safer ftl travel, he was planning to move humanity into the webway. It would've rid humanity of their need of the warp completely and the Chaos Gods would starved to the point of redundancy. After he named Horus Warmaster, he left to go finish this project but he didn't tell any of the Primarchs about the Webway project, which caused Horus to get suspicious. Horus was stabbed with a chaos infused dagger that gave him a vision of what the galaxy became. All he saw was the Primarchs all gone, and humanity being religious fanatics worshipping the Emperor as god. Horus saw this as a betrayal, thinking the Emperor would kill his sons and position himself as the god of humanity despite what he told the Primarchs of him wanting an atheist society of logic and reasoning. These visions were given by the Chaos Gods which started the well of madness that led Horus to become the Archtraitor. As Horus was beginning his plans to bring down the Emperor, convincing some of his brothers and such, Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Suns Astartes Legion, found out about Horus becoming a traitor. During this time, there was a conflict between the Primarchs in which there was a policy brought about where Space Marines couldn't use Librarians/Psykers in their legions. Magnus was highly against this since the Thousand Suns had the highest ratio of Psykers and he himself had been surrounded by the Warp since he arrived on his planet of Prospero. He sought to use the Warp to contact the Emperor about Horus's betrayal, something that was banned for him to do but he ignored it seeing this as too crucial to travel the long distance to physically reach the Emperor on Terra. The psychic backlash of his message shattered the Emperor's Webway project, causing a massive crack that opened directly to Chaos. The Emperor did all he could to try save the project, sending many of his Custodians to fight the infinite armies of daemons but it was useless. And so with a heavy heart, the Emperor gave the retreat order, forever ruining his plan to save humanity from the warp forever. This Webway project led directly to Terra, more so it led directly deep inside the Imperial Palace. The Emperor had to remain on the Golden Throne, a powerful artifact that boosts the psychic power of whoever sits in it in order to keep the gateway to the now corrupted Webway closed. If it were to open, Chaos would have a direct pathway into the Imperial Palace in Terra and all would be lost. The Emperor is the only human that can utilise the Golden Throne and not be annihilated by its power. At least, he is now. It's been confirmed that Magnus could sit on the throne and not be destroyed, making his own fall into the traitors side all the more tragic since if he remained loyal and could take the Emperor's place, the Emperor could've helped in the heresy. In order for the Emperor to battle Horus and end the heresy, probably his closest friend Malcador took his place on the throne. Malcador was over six thousand years old and was the greatest human psyker behind Magnus and the Emperor, and by the time the Emperor had defeated Horus, Malcador's soul and body had been destroyed by the sheer psychic strain. The Emperor still holds it closed to this day. The ever looming threat of Chaos directly under where he sits on his Golden Throne.
Ciaphus Cain is absolutely awesome. Sandy Mitchell is hilarious and brings the much needed comedy to balance out the tragedy in the 40k universe. On top of that they bring out the real horror in any faction the Imperium faces. The Gaunt's Ghosts are also fantastic and offer a great window into the 40k universe (and the crusade happening throughout the series is home to one of my favourite mysteries). One thing I can say about the katest developments in the 40k Universe is that despite 40k literally coining the term "grim-dark", the heros and characters present could well lead to a light at the end of the tunnel.
Hey this is random and totally not relevant, but I really appreciate you have pretty clean content. Makes me comfortable that my kids watch it. I am very wary of what is being consumed now and your stuff was really nice and respectful compared to others.
Roughly 11.000 BC Shamans lived on terra and they had a feint connection to the warp and they felt that the warp was evil and not good for humanity. So they gathered. All Shamans of the World gatherd (near what today is Antalya in Türkiye), took over 100 years. And in a ritual they all sacrificed their lifes, combined their powers and put them in a boy who was born nearby in that night. That was the birth of the Emperor. In one of the Books its mentioned he calles himself Nerot. This is information from the 1st Edition so its possible not correct anymore.
Eisenhorn is split into three books, and all are really intense. It's the even-darker underside of the Inquisition, filled with intrigue and crazy demon-xenos stuff. For something a bit more action packed and approachable, Helsreach is one of the all time classic 40k novels. If you want a good heroic speech, it'll deliver. The fan-made film that uses the audiobook is amazing.
This is one of the most lore dense settings around. If youre having fun, believe me, this is just the beginning. Ive been a fan for 25 years and I'm having more fun with it than ever. 🙂
First of course, much appreciation to Bricky and to you for adding another fun, perceptive layer to this! Yeah, Luetin has some videos clearing up the sea of souls and warp, the origins of the Emperor, and the Horus Heresy. I say "clearing up" but with some of that, especially the life of big E, it's expanding on a compelling story or theory. The Emperor can be hard for even the primarchs to be sure how to perceive and interpret him sometimes (like when Guilliman was revived and returned to Terra). Naturally the Horus Heresy books have expanded the lore a lot, and so, there were some big and small scraps of info in the decade or so before that series. They even changed some details about the final battle that Bricky described, which of course he couldn't have known! Bricky also hints at another twist of the order the primarchs were found in. Aside from ideally being good reading, the Heresy novels had to answer at least some big questions from the bits of previous lore. Why didn't big E just make more primarchs? Where was the Emperor, or why was he stuck on Terra when he could've kicked any primarch's arse (at least before chaos buffs)? Well the next paragraph is only a bit more specific than what Bricky said, and so, only slightly spoiler-y if at all! Well, Magnus tried to warn dad that Horus was being corrupted by chaos. The warning cracked open the secret webway project that Magnus and most other primarchs were unaware of. Forces of chaos, loads of daemons, flooded in. The Emperor helped his golden gang fight them off, but he mostly had to use the throne to keep the chaos in his webway from spilling into the throne room, Imperial palace and Terra by extension. I hope that helps! I know I go on about Arbitor Ian lol, but he has a lore video on the Horus Heresy, and he's got one on the creative history of it too, like a Making Of documentary haha! They're around 40 minutes so no worries if it's too much for stream or you've seen them or wanna save things for when you read! :)
Bricky is amazing at telling the lore, and there is Baldermort's guide to warhammer he is amazing. Also, you should check him out. He does a deep deep dive into everything
The 2 missing legions are not known about and never will be. They serve as a avenue for the fans to create their own Legions/Chapters with their own lore, miniatures, stories etc. Essentially allowing fan creations to fit within the universe.
There are theories on the Emperor. Some say he is a Starchild. Some say he must not die or he becomes a Chaos god due the humanity worshipping him. Welcome to 40k an ocean of lore.
Bricky is great fun and i'm absolutely loving seeing you watch his videos. TBH tho I'm way more excited for you to get into the real meat of the lore through some of the Loremasters like Leutin, TheAmberKing, etc, since Bricky skips over super important things, or just portrays them incorrectly. Either way, it'll be a wild ride!
Thank you! I totally understand that Bricky lets a bunch of details out but honestly it’s way easier to memorize things this way, if I started with the real meat my brain would overheat lol I’ll get there! I’m taking my time and enjoying this journey so much
Translation: she knows the current YT trend is warhammer and she is going to slowly milk it for VIEWS. If YT was pushing air fryers and how to change oil in a lawn mower she would be reacting to that too. She is not suddenly going to turn in to your dream warhammer unicorn waifu.....it's just more typical simp farming
@@ValyrianPrinceexplain how that's racist. It's an observation not criticism or derogatory in any way. I think you're in the wrong franchise. I recommend dustborn, shadows or concord. I think you'll find those communities more in line with your mental space. Peace
@@MargotDobbieThey definitely need the playerbase aswell. It’s always the people to claim to be the most inclusive and accepting that usually are the most racists and hateful people.
I can 100% agree with his suggestion for The Infinite and The Divine, I think I've even recommended it in a different video of yours. I think it's probably the most "fun" grim dark story I've read and while I haven't read his other suggestions I think I'd still put the Dark Imperium trilogy above a lot of the other books I've read, they were what really solidified my love of Warhammer 40k.
Thinking of the warp as an ocean is very astute considering her limited insight. Very very much like an ocean. It self isn't inhrerintly evil it just just a body of energy. It's what resides in the warp which is dangerous. Much like the ocean you can swim sail for days safe. But there's shark infested waters all around.
I would suggest looking into Isander & Koda they have videos about most of the legions and Factions of 40K explained in a funny and easy way. They are also kind of in depth too.
If you’re loving the darkest depths of the grim dark future then you need to check out Helsreach, it was initially a series but I believe someone has put all parts into one video making it a movie. If you want a visual tale of the 3rd war for Armageddon then this is a film you need to see! 😊
I always love watching people get bit by the 40k bug and descend into it's madness, also for orks imagine them like this, you drop an ork at a walmart, it goes and tapes together five nerf guns that fire real rockets, why? Because that orks believe it does that and that's how they work, kinda.
The Emperor didn't kill Horus' soul, or so it's implied. SPOILERS: His last words to Horus were +I wait for you and I forgive you+. Then he killed him with one of the athames that turned Horus in the first place, and a blast of energy. It remains to be seen if Horus' soul was truly destroyed.
The Latin word "terra" means soil or earth and originates from the Proto-Indo-European root ters-, meaning "to dry." This term was directly adopted into various Romance languages, such as Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and French, with little to no change. In English, the word used is "earth," which comes from the Germanic root "eorþe," sharing the same concept of soil. The transition from Latin to the Romance languages happened during the Middle Ages, reflecting the cultural and linguistic continuity of Latin. I researched some things, but because it is my mother language and this "Terra" is in my native language I researched it, I also know that my line comes from Latin so it was easy.
The Gaunts Ghosts Series is amazing, it helped me to convince my wife to 40k and now she is nearly as addicted as i am. Also for really deep dive into the lore i would recommend Arch but for a lot of his videos it is better to get some knowledge before, like you do from Bricky and Luetin does an amazing job as well.
The Emperor being put on the golden throne is for multiple purposes, for one, its a powerful life support device that could stave off his death from the wounds he suffered fighting Horus, secondly, Magnus' mistake that destroyed the Emperor's web way project created a rift to the warp that, should the throne be turned off, would consume Terra, and third, so long as the throne is active, Warp Travel is easier thanks to the psychic beacon it emits acting as a lighthouse when in the warp
Magnus The Red being the second most powerful "human" Psyker after the Emperor saw a vision of Horus falling to chaos in a vision. He tried to contact the Emperor through a message in the warp to let him know of this vision and as a warning, but in the process of doing so caused the destruction of the Webway project the Emperor was working on. It just got sadder after that.
Love that you’re learning the memes!!! It makes me feel like a kid at show-and-tell showing my favourite toys and watching everyone love it and start playing with it😄😄❤️
I am gonna be straight. When I saw the first video from this channel, I thought "Just another person that does not care and will just ignore or go "waow" at random things". I am glad I was proven otherwise, seems you really try to understand the universe, and that is something many of us Warhammer fans appriciate. I honestly think that is the main thing for many of us, that it is not important to know or get it, but at least give it a real try instead of what I often see, is outright dismissal or not caring.
I am absolutely loving W40K! I have been devoted to it for the past 3 or 4 months and I've been documenting everything I learn haha Thanks for watching! 😊
Good done. First UA-camr in a long time, who remember thet not all Chaos Gods existed from the beginning AND look the entire video until the end. 🙂👍 A good thing for your Tyranids fun could be the audio-vid "Genestealer cult. " But a warning, its really dark.
Men and women of the guard, Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours.
Idk how well Bricky is caught up with his 'Thousand Sons' lore, but the ocean analogy is unironically perfect cause the Thousand Sons referred to the Warp as "The Great Ocean"
1 or 2 things that bricky missed was from what i picked : 1) Emperor is the most powerful psyker in the galaxy bar none. Not just mankind. 2) She who thirst is a she not also a male. 3) Emperor known as Neoth but thats not his true name. 4) Salamanders ain't black they have charcoal ashy skin. So they don't have jamaican accent :) 5)Great crusade was an excuse to look for his sons. Because they are too valuable to discard on a whim. 6)Magnus the Red Aka faultless giant was a loyalist until his mistake tho it should be cleared that dude had very good intentions. Even tried to save horus when he was in the warp from chaos tricks. 7) Emperor is a perpetual top one at that. What golden throne does basically keeping him from regenarating. So hes at this weird constant dying and regenation cycle. In fact hes very much alive and much more powerful at this point. Thx to steady diet of psykers and trillions of worship. On recent lore he's awakening slowly as a god. Like another Chaos god like being but for the order.
There's lots of solid fan theories regarding the emperor and how he came to be. My favorite is Where the emperor and his ' only " bff" heard of planet which has a cave on it tied to the first ones/ the warp etc. Blah blah blah blah His friend says that if it werent for him taking him to the that cave, making the promises they did inside there. That the emperor would not have the power he has today. blah blah blah
I don't think the true magnitude of horror can be fully portrayed. I feel like only imagination can do it justice. The Cherubim alone would cause outrage 😂. I'd love to see Necron Flayed they're brutal.
The rugby players in the mountains is a real story. Basically the Uruguayan rugby team was travelling by plane, the plane crashed in the Andes mountains, by the time rescuers arrived (a long time) the survivors had to cannibalise the dead to survive.
I really appreciate the lack of thirst trap on this channel. It's honestly refreshing. I'm pretty new to 40k myself it's been so much fun learning the lore over the last year. All the best with the channel.
21:09 the chaos gods don't really have a gender in the same way that we would see it, however they are depicted and worshipped in manny different ways and have manny different titles
The Leagues of Votann in a nutshell: They were genetically-engineered humans made to be stronger, durable, and with heightened senses during the Dark Age of Technology. Because the areas that the "Kin" (as they call themselves) reside in are near-impossible to access by other races, they were mostly lost and forgotten to time. Because of this, the Votann were spared from all of the major events that happened in 40k. A pocket empire did arise calling themselves the "Squat Empire," but were slaughtered and devoured by a Tyranid splinter fleet. The Kin have access to fully functional Standard Template Constructs (or STC) that were created during the Dark Age of Technology, which are capable of automatically mining, building cities and even terraforming a planet. Kin center these STCs around their culture, calling them their "Ancestor Cores." The STCs were ALSO lost and forgotten to time. The Leagues live in relative isolation, hiding their civilization from the rest of the galaxy, usually seen every so often and are usually ignored. The Votann ESPECIALLY hide their tech from groups like Adeptus Mechanicus, who would stage a large-scale crusade if they ever discovered that the Votann have fully functional STCs. The Leagues are also hidden from the forces of Chaos, because their souls are very dim (much like the Tau). The downside of the Leagues, is that their Ancestor Cores are starting to degrade over the past 10,000 years, which is slowly affecting the Kin, which causes them to take initiative to set out into the galaxy. They have trading agreements with both the Eldar and the Tau (but keep the better supplies to themselves) and have an uneasy peace treaty with the Imperium.
And, from what ive seen recently, they have a nasty habit of devouring entire planets with mining super-ships to claim the resources, irrespective of the poor saps who might happen to be living on it at the time.
One thing Bricky kinda got wrong is that during the War in Heaven, the chaos Gods didn't exist as we know them today. Basically the warp was relatively calm as he said, and there were minor "beings" that would nomnom you if you were careless. But when the War in Heaven concluded like he said the Warp got super stormy and violent and hellish and it was a couple of eons after this that the chaos Gods came into being, and according to a lot of the older lore it was actually humanity that gave the Gods the forms they have because... Reasons.
I absolutely recommend the “emperor of mankind“ Series by leutin09. There’s I believe six parts to the series in each is quite long at about an hour and a half a piece, but Is a wealth of information, not only about the emperor, but about the empire of Man. Lots of theory and conjecture, based on obscure bits of.lore
For a good next step in exploring 40K, I recommend Arbitor Ian. He has his own quick timeline and focuses more on the lore. His Horus Heresy in 40mins, or the every faction explanation is very good.
"The infinite and the divine", is really good. The first time I listened to it, it was a bit confusing. But I just listened to it again, and it is really very clever and funny. Who would have thought that a story about two Necrons could be so funny.
29:46 Bricky threw a bone here. For context: "Officially" the first Primarch that Big E found was Horus, but there is a wacky theory that says that the one that he found first, on Terra, was Omegon of the Alpha Legion. Alpharius, his twin brother, was the one that got yeeted to space. For whatever reason the existence of Omegon was kept in secret by The Emperor and his right hand, Malcador. Alpharius was found later by Horus and developed and strong bond with his primarch brother. When the Horus Heresy begun Alpharius was one of the first to join his cause. Later he was killed by Rogal Dorn in the Battle of Pluto. Seizing the opportunity and because of his loyalty to The Emperor, Omegon took the identity of his brother and became Alpharius, Primarch of the Alpha Legion. Since then his Chapter has been sabotaging the traitor cause from inside. This is why he wrote: "I am Alpharius. This is a lie". Of course, this is a theory. Anything related to the Alpha Legion is just conspiracies and speculations.
honestly the four books bricky picked are perfect to start out Horus rising is great as a sort of prequel and more lore around space marines Cain gives you a more upbeat saturday mourning cartoon feel for the guard while Gaunt's Ghost is the more in the trenches brotherhood and courage story
A bit of a warning, "Horus Rising" is the first of 70 books recounting the horus heresy. I'd consider it somewhat deeper lorewise. "Eisenhorn" is a great pick for a new fan. Awesome story, not too much background knowledge needed. And the start of 3-4 different series...
true Horus Rising is the first part in a 70 book series but it's just space marines no sub factions and you don't really need much background knowledge when your literally reading the prequal to the story. I can't say much about Eisenhorn as i haven't listened to it yet I just finished book 70 of the heresy and cain's current list of books @@Ilithilich
I agree that Horus Rising is a great book, i just would not reccomend it to a beginner. Yes, it's THE prequel, and relatively light on lore, because it's set "before" the current lore. It's space marines versus enemies you'll never hear of again. It sets up a huge story, with tons of intrigue, great characters and huge stakes.... but it takes 70 books to really pay off (over 25 days non-stop listening). I highly recommend the entire series, IF you know 40k and are really interested in the horus heresy. When i started 40k, the Horus Heresy was a rumour, only partly recorded in art books and cardgames. Part of the fun is slowly building out the legend and filling in all the gaps and theories. Definitely read it.... just not yet. There's so much more than 70 books about deep background lore.
@@Ilithilich fair point to me it's a good pick simply cause it's somewhere you can start book wise a place where you can branch off into different books and start to explore what you like and what not
"For him on Terra, we march." Honored Tank Commander Starken from the Baneblade "Wrath of Saint Sieglinde" of the 887 Superheavy Tank Regiment of Krieg, 1st Company. My Homebrew Tankcommander of my Baneblade of the SHT Tankcompany i field from Time to Time. Or at least on of the 4 Tank that make such a Company.
Also a problem with Warhammer lore is that there are SO many cool to learn about. You can bounce around the universe learning about things. Choose something you're interested in, and go piece by piece. However for basic timeline. You learn how the emperor makes his kids + with who. How he loses them, how he finds them. then eventually the horis heresey. Because that is how the emperor ends up on the golden throne for good ( some may say....) (Maybe the emperor is transending into a the 5th chaos god) Who knows. Then .... start choosing factions or people you like and dive into it.
The emperor ALSO benefits from worship, just like the chaos gods. With trillions worshipping him, he’s become quite powerful, although wishing he wasn’t
21:16- It’s both and neither at the same time! Remember how Bricky said in the beginning that the Warp makes total sense while also making absolutely no sense!?! Yeah!
the infinite and the divine is honestly my favorite thus far. It is hilariously petty at every opportunity. the one downside is the book expects you to know what certain ships and units look like. For example a couple times the book will say something like "trayzen stepped on top of the death scythe and teleported away", I didn't know what a 'death scythe' looks like. is it a ship, a building, a unit? beyond stuff like that the book is honestly a solid 9/10 would recommend
The Gaunt's Ghost series is amazing. 12 or 13 books, and you grow attached to many of the characters. I recommend the Heresy/Siege of Terra books too, but keep in mind that it's a LOT of reading if you're a completionist. There's maybe 5 novels in the series that could be considered filler, even though they're linked to the overall story.
fyi Philip Eisner, the guy who wrote EH's script has said that his inspiration for the film's core concept, "ship uses hell as an ill considered space shotrtcut", comes from the 40K Warp.
There was also another part to the war in heaven. The Eldar gods had a little fight with each other, one of them named Illith told Kaine she had a bad dream that his followers would shatter him(hehehe foreshadowing what happens to him later). So naturally Kaine being the Eldar god of war decided to do the logical thing and tried to kill everyone causing a war between the Eldar and Khaine. There is more to it than that, and there's a part where Khaine starts a war over a sword shortly after that, because of course he does. 😂😂
I've read somewhere the Emperor started as a common human being "with some psycher powers" (maybe one of the first psychers) and evolved. He got to the point of borning again after dying, then started to "guide humanity, appearing as a prophet, or a great scientist, general or engineer, throught the times, but "anonimously" because he didn't wanted to be revered as a diety". So.. The irony is: he almost gets killed, is treated like a god AND humanity sacrifices 1000 souls/day to keep him "alive" while not knowing he'd be born again right after.
I think there was a piece of lore that in like 8000 bc a bunch of powerful shamans were afraid of the warp and decided to commit a ritual suicide and merge their souls into one being. And that was The Emperor's birth. He was keeping low profile and showed himself only in Mad Max era. But all of that is an old lore, so it's really unclear if that's still canon. p.s. I think Eisenhorn books is probably the best choice for first warhammer reading, definitely not Horus rising because well Horus Heresy is a historic event inside the setting. It's like reading about some historic events in Harry Potter's world before the Harry Potter books.
Some people really like this theory. It's one of the oldest, too. But honestly I'm not too keen on it myself. That's what's fun about 40K -- a lot of the time, you can make up your own theory about things if you want to. 🙂
Some times human psykers are born and manifest their powers usualy around 8-9 years and they can become psykers at any age if they are exposed to enough psychic energy making the mutation to activate or in situations when your emotions become very powerful like obviouslie in the battle field.
7:02 yep, in every warhammer setting "the great game" as it is called is a well established fact, the four greatest powers of Chaos are fierce rivals, and oftentimes even when one of the gods turns their atention to the material realm he has to look out for the other three not taking advantage of it. there are also other beings in the warp who would wish to become the fifth player in this game, but so far none have succeeded
if you want to know more about the Emperor, and the more in depth parts of the lore in a still digestible fashion, I suggest you react to some stuff from the Templin Institute. They have a ton of very well done 40k videos, and and they are done beautifully, telling all the lore for a specific topic in less then 25 minutes more or less.
It's crazy how popular Warhammer has become these last few years. But i think it has much more to do with just animation series and Cavill's decision to make a movie. I think the whole theme is becoming an inspiration. We love "regression" and "intolerance". The Emperor Protects.
1. The history of the Emperor is deliberately mysterious. We know very little for sure about his life. It's believed that he was born around 8000 BC in Anatolia, modern day Turkey. An old story suggested that he was created by thousands of early psykers called Shamen committing mass suicide and combining their souls to create a super-being. We don't know his 'real' name. The mystery is absolutely deliberate, and will probably never be fully addressed. 2. I strongly recommend the Ciaphas Cain novels as your next foray after Eisenhorn. They follow a highly atypical Commissar in the Imperial Guard, and give a very human perspective on the universe, and the audiobooks are _excellent._
@@ti8ick based on the support that other content creators have gotten reacting to them I’d say myself and the rest of your fans would greatly appreciate the reaction :)
The Lion being called "Ugly Sanguinius" has to be the biggest heretic move ever made 🤣
Insert "We already have _Sanguinius_ at home" meme
I mean, IIRC Lion had Emperor's personality and Sanguinius had Emperor's looks, so it kinda checks out. I mean, as a Primarch Lion was probably a peak human being and totally handsome, but lets be real, anybody is ugly compared to Sanguinius.
That's mad, as someone who knows his warhammers, I was looking at The Lion thinking 'why is Sanguinius looking so ugly?'
I dont think there are credible sources for that @@ЯАга-я4л

29:46 Context
Horus is RECORDED to be the first Primarch found by the Emperor since Chaos split them all up across the galaxy, but Alpharius's book claims that he was the first as he landed right in Terra, and was kept a secret until his brothers were all found (and Omegon pretended to be him when Horus "found" him)
So basically, Alpharius and Omegon, the Begining and the End, are simultaneously the first and last primarch found
"Everything is canon, not everything is true."
Alpharius walks into a bar. Alpharius is already inside the bar. Alpharius is still standing outside the bar.
Alpharius is tending the bar.
Alpharius is the bar.
May I be enlightened? I do not understand the joke :(

18:36 One thing that isn't mentioned is that during their peak the Eldar could not die. When they died they just came back in the webway. That's why it was straight up ok to just murder eachother, death didn't even matter to them.
Wait isn`t this still the case? Or are craftworld eldar, ecodites and Drukari also biological immortal
@@heisnotlongbutthinnot exactly. Now, when any aeldar dies, Slannesh yoinks their soul almost immediately and devours it, and the only way the craftworld aeldar escape this is through spirit stones that act like a safety net, catching their soul before Slannesh does and keeping it safe. They can’t be reborn from the stone, but it’s better than letting Slannesh get it. Meanwhile the Drukhari Haemonculi covens can regrow your entire body should you die as long as you gave them a small biological piece of yourself to them beforehand, though this is more creating a copy of yourself and not quite rebirth
@@RhantheSlayer it is a rebirth because by means that we dont know, they can snatch theyr souls back from slaneesh or before it gets to them IF they work fast enough. Many Dark Eldar are also vat grown so many are probably let go if they even have souls at all.
You're right about their immortality, but it wasn't through the webway, it was via the warp. The webway is essentially a pocket dimension sectioned off from the warp eons ago, and it is fairly well insulated from the immaterium through unknown means (The Emperor was only able to create a crude facsimile of the original barrier for his section, and look how that turned out). That's why the Drukhari survived the fall, while Slaanesh can exert a pull on their souls it cannot directly get at them. Compare that to the fate of any Aeldari within 1000ly of the eye when it opened. They died instantly and had their souls sucked right out
@@firmak2The Dark Eldar get away with it because they discovered a way to keep their souls attached to any body part as long as it is still alive.
It's not uncommon for Dark Eldar to leave behind a finger or toe with the Humonculus guys to regrow their body from it.
Craftworld Eldar are shit out of luck, without their Spirit Stones, or if the Spirit Stone is broken, when they die they go straight to Slaanesh.
How the Exodites managed to avoid Slaanesh is currently unknown.
And the Harliquins have their god, Ceggeroch to thank for that. He punked their souls from Slaanesh.

Ciaphas Cain is basically a story of a man with the biggest imposter syndrome in the history of mankind. It's told via logs, anecdotes, and commentary from other sources and sometimes some fact-checks from the man himself (he gets praised a lot and some of his actions get misconstrued as noble, but according to Cain, it's not and he just happened to suffer from success).
The books have good humor mixed with some worldbuilding.
Re-read the books lol

Also you should see The Last Church. It's a wonderful story that throws some light on how the Emperor wanted humanity to be.
Ooh man, that one is a MUST WATCH. Great artistic style, great storytelling, passionate people behind it. Its so good. "The Last Church" is a must watch even if u dont know shit about WAR40k and are just watching some sci-fi film that happens to be a fantastic film. Its just so GOOD and so well done. And its a fanmade project if i recall correctly. Chills dude, chills! Cant recommend it enough.
Magnus was actually trying to stop the Horus Heresy. But instead of traveling to Terra to warn the emporer, he sent a psychic message that broke all the wards against chaos and the warp that protected Terra. It fucked up the webway project and let it be attacked by demons. It also caused the emporer to send the space wolves to bring in Magnus, which caused a battle and forced Magnus to turn to Tzeentch to save his legion.
what happened with magnus was downright tragic u_u
He did "Nothing" "Wrong"
He did several things wrong, but I can't claim I would have done anything better. Probably would have fucked things up even more.
it's also important to mention that the entire battle on Prospero and Russ' orders were caused by Horus' betrayal.
Magnus did a whole lot of wrong shit. Man, our own webway? Humanity wouldve even been just a tiny bit less fcked

Luetin does a great vid on some of the theories around the Emperor's beginnings, the one you mentioned is definitely worth checking out.
Will do!
I think Luetin is up to at least 5 videos on the Emperor, and some of em are like 2 hours. You'll have plenty to sink your teeth into! 😁
Luetin's lore video's are THE gold standard for 40k lore!! 😎👍
@@michaelriddick7116 but MajorKill is the Bogan Standard for 40K Aussie humour lore.
Wasn't it revealed in the Siege of Terra series that it was one of the Emperors co-supporters, Erda, who yeeted the primarchs across the galaxy because she didn't agree with his plan?
The less said about Erda. Even for 40K, the Deus Ex Machina stink is strong on her. Came from nowhere to "fix" the scatter problem. Abnett is normally much better than Erda. So I believe that this solution was forced on him. How she was dealt with and by whom. Deus Ex Machina turned up to 40.
"Realm of Chaos" is also the title of an incredible album by the British band Bolt Thrower. All of the album artwork was done by Games Workshop, and, the songs are all WH40K based.
As many others have suggested I would say Lutein. I'd also recommend Brickys podcast Adeptus Ridiculous, maybe not on stream but if you just want to listen to something fun while learning. They have dedicated episodes for each primarch and their legion.
Also
Iron within, iron without
Luetin's video is coming up next! WTF is Warhammer 40k followed by The Emperor of Man. Already followed Adeptus Ridiculous on Spotify lol
No mention of Lord Baldermort?
For an explanation on why the Emperor had to sit on the throne throughout the heresy.
His Webway project was more than just giving humanity a safer ftl travel, he was planning to move humanity into the webway. It would've rid humanity of their need of the warp completely and the Chaos Gods would starved to the point of redundancy. After he named Horus Warmaster, he left to go finish this project but he didn't tell any of the Primarchs about the Webway project, which caused Horus to get suspicious.
Horus was stabbed with a chaos infused dagger that gave him a vision of what the galaxy became. All he saw was the Primarchs all gone, and humanity being religious fanatics worshipping the Emperor as god. Horus saw this as a betrayal, thinking the Emperor would kill his sons and position himself as the god of humanity despite what he told the Primarchs of him wanting an atheist society of logic and reasoning. These visions were given by the Chaos Gods which started the well of madness that led Horus to become the Archtraitor.
As Horus was beginning his plans to bring down the Emperor, convincing some of his brothers and such, Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Suns Astartes Legion, found out about Horus becoming a traitor. During this time, there was a conflict between the Primarchs in which there was a policy brought about where Space Marines couldn't use Librarians/Psykers in their legions. Magnus was highly against this since the Thousand Suns had the highest ratio of Psykers and he himself had been surrounded by the Warp since he arrived on his planet of Prospero. He sought to use the Warp to contact the Emperor about Horus's betrayal, something that was banned for him to do but he ignored it seeing this as too crucial to travel the long distance to physically reach the Emperor on Terra.
The psychic backlash of his message shattered the Emperor's Webway project, causing a massive crack that opened directly to Chaos. The Emperor did all he could to try save the project, sending many of his Custodians to fight the infinite armies of daemons but it was useless. And so with a heavy heart, the Emperor gave the retreat order, forever ruining his plan to save humanity from the warp forever. This Webway project led directly to Terra, more so it led directly deep inside the Imperial Palace. The Emperor had to remain on the Golden Throne, a powerful artifact that boosts the psychic power of whoever sits in it in order to keep the gateway to the now corrupted Webway closed. If it were to open, Chaos would have a direct pathway into the Imperial Palace in Terra and all would be lost.
The Emperor is the only human that can utilise the Golden Throne and not be annihilated by its power. At least, he is now. It's been confirmed that Magnus could sit on the throne and not be destroyed, making his own fall into the traitors side all the more tragic since if he remained loyal and could take the Emperor's place, the Emperor could've helped in the heresy. In order for the Emperor to battle Horus and end the heresy, probably his closest friend Malcador took his place on the throne. Malcador was over six thousand years old and was the greatest human psyker behind Magnus and the Emperor, and by the time the Emperor had defeated Horus, Malcador's soul and body had been destroyed by the sheer psychic strain.
The Emperor still holds it closed to this day. The ever looming threat of Chaos directly under where he sits on his Golden Throne.
Turned into a blood angel when naming the primarchs, everyone was horus
Hahahahah 😂
@@ti8ick you should watch Event Horizon, because it takes place before the Golden Age Technology.
Ciaphus Cain is absolutely awesome. Sandy Mitchell is hilarious and brings the much needed comedy to balance out the tragedy in the 40k universe. On top of that they bring out the real horror in any faction the Imperium faces. The Gaunt's Ghosts are also fantastic and offer a great window into the 40k universe (and the crusade happening throughout the series is home to one of my favourite mysteries).
One thing I can say about the katest developments in the 40k Universe is that despite 40k literally coining the term "grim-dark", the heros and characters present could well lead to a light at the end of the tunnel.
23:50 A mysterious man who lived in the shadows of Terra for Millennia finally revealed himself to the populace. His name was Henry Cavill!

Thank you so much, I'd still be careful because I might be dropping an unedited swear here and there haha
@@ti8ick Not an issue considering what most content is now a days. No one is perfect. God bless.
I just realised when he described the derenged Elders at 16:05 it was world where WOKE won.
Roughly 11.000 BC Shamans lived on terra and they had a feint connection to the warp and they felt that the warp was evil and not good for humanity. So they gathered. All Shamans of the World gatherd (near what today is Antalya in Türkiye), took over 100 years. And in a ritual they all sacrificed their lifes, combined their powers and put them in a boy who was born nearby in that night. That was the birth of the Emperor. In one of the Books its mentioned he calles himself Nerot. This is information from the 1st Edition so its possible not correct anymore.
Eisenhorn is split into three books, and all are really intense. It's the even-darker underside of the Inquisition, filled with intrigue and crazy demon-xenos stuff. For something a bit more action packed and approachable, Helsreach is one of the all time classic 40k novels. If you want a good heroic speech, it'll deliver. The fan-made film that uses the audiobook is amazing.
Leutin09's series is there for that(The Emperor's speculated origin).
Good luck with those videos.
This is one of the most lore dense settings around. If youre having fun, believe me, this is just the beginning. Ive been a fan for 25 years and I'm having more fun with it than ever. 🙂
First of course, much appreciation to Bricky and to you for adding another fun, perceptive layer to this!
Yeah, Luetin has some videos clearing up the sea of souls and warp, the origins of the Emperor, and the Horus Heresy. I say "clearing up" but with some of that, especially the life of big E, it's expanding on a compelling story or theory. The Emperor can be hard for even the primarchs to be sure how to perceive and interpret him sometimes (like when Guilliman was revived and returned to Terra).
Naturally the Horus Heresy books have expanded the lore a lot, and so, there were some big and small scraps of info in the decade or so before that series. They even changed some details about the final battle that Bricky described, which of course he couldn't have known! Bricky also hints at another twist of the order the primarchs were found in.
Aside from ideally being good reading, the Heresy novels had to answer at least some big questions from the bits of previous lore. Why didn't big E just make more primarchs? Where was the Emperor, or why was he stuck on Terra when he could've kicked any primarch's arse (at least before chaos buffs)? Well the next paragraph is only a bit more specific than what Bricky said, and so, only slightly spoiler-y if at all!
Well, Magnus tried to warn dad that Horus was being corrupted by chaos. The warning cracked open the secret webway project that Magnus and most other primarchs were unaware of. Forces of chaos, loads of daemons, flooded in. The Emperor helped his golden gang fight them off, but he mostly had to use the throne to keep the chaos in his webway from spilling into the throne room, Imperial palace and Terra by extension.
I hope that helps! I know I go on about Arbitor Ian lol, but he has a lore video on the Horus Heresy, and he's got one on the creative history of it too, like a Making Of documentary haha! They're around 40 minutes so no worries if it's too much for stream or you've seen them or wanna save things for when you read! :)
Bricky is amazing at telling the lore, and there is Baldermort's guide to warhammer he is amazing. Also, you should check him out. He does a deep deep dive into everything
The 2 missing legions are not known about and never will be. They serve as a avenue for the fans to create their own Legions/Chapters with their own lore, miniatures, stories etc. Essentially allowing fan creations to fit within the universe.
There are theories on the Emperor. Some say he is a Starchild. Some say he must not die or he becomes a Chaos god due the humanity worshipping him. Welcome to 40k an ocean of lore.
There's a fan theory that the chaos gods are actually just one god with split personalities, because whats more chaotic than fighting yourself?
Bricky is great fun and i'm absolutely loving seeing you watch his videos. TBH tho I'm way more excited for you to get into the real meat of the lore through some of the Loremasters like Leutin, TheAmberKing, etc, since Bricky skips over super important things, or just portrays them incorrectly. Either way, it'll be a wild ride!
Thank you! I totally understand that Bricky lets a bunch of details out but honestly it’s way easier to memorize things this way, if I started with the real meat my brain would overheat lol I’ll get there! I’m taking my time and enjoying this journey so much

I can 100% agree with his suggestion for The Infinite and The Divine, I think I've even recommended it in a different video of yours. I think it's probably the most "fun" grim dark story I've read and while I haven't read his other suggestions I think I'd still put the Dark Imperium trilogy above a lot of the other books I've read, they were what really solidified my love of Warhammer 40k.
Thinking of the warp as an ocean is very astute considering her limited insight. Very very much like an ocean. It self isn't inhrerintly evil it just just a body of energy. It's what resides in the warp which is dangerous. Much like the ocean you can swim sail for days safe. But there's shark infested waters all around.
This girl is a youtube algorithm genius.
I would suggest looking into Isander & Koda they have videos about most of the legions and Factions of 40K explained in a funny and easy way. They are also kind of in depth too.
If you’re loving the darkest depths of the grim dark future then you need to check out Helsreach, it was initially a series but I believe someone has put all parts into one video making it a movie. If you want a visual tale of the 3rd war for Armageddon then this is a film you need to see! 😊
The Rugby team ate dead bodies after an air plane crash because there was no other food available. They made a movie about it.

I enjoy how happy you look when you see Nurgle... Not something I suspect he is used to (but he does love is follows after all.)
The Emperor didn't kill Horus' soul, or so it's implied. SPOILERS:
His last words to Horus were +I wait for you and I forgive you+. Then he killed him with one of the athames that turned Horus in the first place, and a blast of energy.
It remains to be seen if Horus' soul was truly destroyed.
The Latin word "terra" means soil or earth and originates from the Proto-Indo-European root ters-, meaning "to dry." This term was directly adopted into various Romance languages, such as Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and French, with little to no change. In English, the word used is "earth," which comes from the Germanic root "eorþe," sharing the same concept of soil. The transition from Latin to the Romance languages happened during the Middle Ages, reflecting the cultural and linguistic continuity of Latin.
I researched some things, but because it is my mother language and this "Terra" is in my native language I researched it, I also know that my line comes from Latin so it was easy.
The Gaunts Ghosts Series is amazing, it helped me to convince my wife to 40k and now she is nearly as addicted as i am. Also for really deep dive into the lore i would recommend Arch but for a lot of his videos it is better to get some knowledge before, like you do from Bricky and Luetin does an amazing job as well.
Your expression during the AD, so funny
The Emperor being put on the golden throne is for multiple purposes, for one, its a powerful life support device that could stave off his death from the wounds he suffered fighting Horus, secondly, Magnus' mistake that destroyed the Emperor's web way project created a rift to the warp that, should the throne be turned off, would consume Terra, and third, so long as the throne is active, Warp Travel is easier thanks to the psychic beacon it emits acting as a lighthouse when in the warp
Magnus The Red being the second most powerful "human" Psyker after the Emperor saw a vision of Horus falling to chaos in a vision. He tried to contact the Emperor through a message in the warp to let him know of this vision and as a warning, but in the process of doing so caused the destruction of the Webway project the Emperor was working on. It just got sadder after that.
Love that you’re learning the memes!!! It makes me feel like a kid at show-and-tell showing my favourite toys and watching everyone love it and start playing with it😄😄❤️
I am gonna be straight. When I saw the first video from this channel, I thought "Just another person that does not care and will just ignore or go "waow" at random things". I am glad I was proven otherwise, seems you really try to understand the universe, and that is something many of us Warhammer fans appriciate.
I honestly think that is the main thing for many of us, that it is not important to know or get it, but at least give it a real try instead of what I often see, is outright dismissal or not caring.
I am absolutely loving W40K! I have been devoted to it for the past 3 or 4 months and I've been documenting everything I learn haha

Idk how well Bricky is caught up with his 'Thousand Sons' lore, but the ocean analogy is unironically perfect cause the Thousand Sons referred to the Warp as "The Great Ocean"

1 or 2 things that bricky missed was from what i picked :
1) Emperor is the most powerful psyker in the galaxy bar none. Not just mankind.
2) She who thirst is a she not also a male.
3) Emperor known as Neoth but thats not his true name.
4) Salamanders ain't black they have charcoal ashy skin. So they don't have jamaican accent :)
5)Great crusade was an excuse to look for his sons. Because they are too valuable to discard on a whim.
6)Magnus the Red Aka faultless giant was a loyalist until his mistake tho it should be cleared that dude had very good intentions. Even tried to save horus when he was in the warp from chaos tricks.
7) Emperor is a perpetual top one at that. What golden throne does basically keeping him from regenarating. So hes at this weird constant dying and regenation cycle. In fact hes very much alive and much more powerful at this point. Thx to steady diet of psykers and trillions of worship. On recent lore he's awakening slowly as a god. Like another Chaos god like being but for the order.
There's lots of solid fan theories regarding the emperor and how he came to be. My favorite is Where the emperor and his ' only " bff" heard of planet which has a cave on it tied to the first ones/ the warp etc. Blah blah blah blah His friend says that if it werent for him taking him to the that cave, making the promises they did inside there. That the emperor would not have the power he has today. blah blah blah
loving your bricky reactions! keep up the good content.
Let´s hope we get a warhammer 40k movie or series with Henry Cavill and this franchise gets more love from more people.
I don't think the true magnitude of horror can be fully portrayed. I feel like only imagination can do it justice. The Cherubim alone would cause outrage 😂. I'd love to see Necron Flayed they're brutal.

The rugby players in the mountains is a real story. Basically the Uruguayan rugby team was travelling by plane, the plane crashed in the Andes mountains, by the time rescuers arrived (a long time) the survivors had to cannibalise the dead to survive.

The Leagues of Votann in a nutshell:
They were genetically-engineered humans made to be stronger, durable, and with heightened senses during the Dark Age of Technology. Because the areas that the "Kin" (as they call themselves) reside in are near-impossible to access by other races, they were mostly lost and forgotten to time. Because of this, the Votann were spared from all of the major events that happened in 40k. A pocket empire did arise calling themselves the "Squat Empire," but were slaughtered and devoured by a Tyranid splinter fleet.
The Kin have access to fully functional Standard Template Constructs (or STC) that were created during the Dark Age of Technology, which are capable of automatically mining, building cities and even terraforming a planet. Kin center these STCs around their culture, calling them their "Ancestor Cores." The STCs were ALSO lost and forgotten to time. The Leagues live in relative isolation, hiding their civilization from the rest of the galaxy, usually seen every so often and are usually ignored. The Votann ESPECIALLY hide their tech from groups like Adeptus Mechanicus, who would stage a large-scale crusade if they ever discovered that the Votann have fully functional STCs. The Leagues are also hidden from the forces of Chaos, because their souls are very dim (much like the Tau).
The downside of the Leagues, is that their Ancestor Cores are starting to degrade over the past 10,000 years, which is slowly affecting the Kin, which causes them to take initiative to set out into the galaxy. They have trading agreements with both the Eldar and the Tau (but keep the better supplies to themselves) and have an uneasy peace treaty with the Imperium.
And, from what ive seen recently, they have a nasty habit of devouring entire planets with mining super-ships to claim the resources, irrespective of the poor saps who might happen to be living on it at the time.
@@Musabre Yeah, they're heavily capitalistic and only care about production.
One thing Bricky kinda got wrong is that during the War in Heaven, the chaos Gods didn't exist as we know them today. Basically the warp was relatively calm as he said, and there were minor "beings" that would nomnom you if you were careless. But when the War in Heaven concluded like he said the Warp got super stormy and violent and hellish and it was a couple of eons after this that the chaos Gods came into being, and according to a lot of the older lore it was actually humanity that gave the Gods the forms they have because... Reasons.
In which book is it mentioned? And, can you suggest me a few books in the Age of Strife, (if there are any?), and Unification Wars?
I absolutely recommend the “emperor of mankind“ Series by leutin09. There’s I believe six parts to the series in each is quite long at about an hour and a half a piece, but Is a wealth of information, not only about the emperor, but about the empire of Man. Lots of theory and conjecture, based on obscure bits of.lore
That's gonna be my next long video!! So many people have asked to watch it, I'm so hyped!
For a good next step in exploring 40K, I recommend Arbitor Ian. He has his own quick timeline and focuses more on the lore. His Horus Heresy in 40mins, or the every faction explanation is very good.
"The infinite and the divine", is really good. The first time I listened to it, it was a bit confusing. But I just listened to it again, and it is really very clever and funny. Who would have thought that a story about two Necrons could be so funny.
21:10 Gender is merely a suggestion to Slaanesh
29:46 Bricky threw a bone here.
For context: "Officially" the first Primarch that Big E found was Horus, but there is a wacky theory that says that the one that he found first, on Terra, was Omegon of the Alpha Legion. Alpharius, his twin brother, was the one that got yeeted to space. For whatever reason the existence of Omegon was kept in secret by The Emperor and his right hand, Malcador.
Alpharius was found later by Horus and developed and strong bond with his primarch brother. When the Horus Heresy begun Alpharius was one of the first to join his cause. Later he was killed by Rogal Dorn in the Battle of Pluto. Seizing the opportunity and because of his loyalty to The Emperor, Omegon took the identity of his brother and became Alpharius, Primarch of the Alpha Legion. Since then his Chapter has been sabotaging the traitor cause from inside.
This is why he wrote: "I am Alpharius. This is a lie".
Of course, this is a theory. Anything related to the Alpha Legion is just conspiracies and speculations.
This is why the Alpha Legion is still sooooo confusing to me lol
I want to believe.
we need to get her on adeptus ridiculous and get DK to teach her something
👀
nice Content - seeing a young girl learning about WH40k is wholesome. I hope you enjoy much much mor of this and read some Books.
honestly the four books bricky picked are perfect to start out Horus rising is great as a sort of prequel and more lore around space marines Cain gives you a more upbeat saturday mourning cartoon feel for the guard while Gaunt's Ghost is the more in the trenches brotherhood and courage story
A bit of a warning, "Horus Rising" is the first of 70 books recounting the horus heresy.
I'd consider it somewhat deeper lorewise.
"Eisenhorn" is a great pick for a new fan. Awesome story, not too much background knowledge needed. And the start of 3-4 different series...
true Horus Rising is the first part in a 70 book series but it's just space marines no sub factions and you don't really need much background knowledge when your literally reading the prequal to the story. I can't say much about Eisenhorn as i haven't listened to it yet I just finished book 70 of the heresy and cain's current list of books
@@Ilithilich
I agree that Horus Rising is a great book, i just would not reccomend it to a beginner.
Yes, it's THE prequel, and relatively light on lore, because it's set "before" the current lore.
It's space marines versus enemies you'll never hear of again.
It sets up a huge story, with tons of intrigue, great characters and huge stakes.... but it takes 70 books to really pay off (over 25 days non-stop listening).
I highly recommend the entire series, IF you know 40k and are really interested in the horus heresy.
When i started 40k, the Horus Heresy was a rumour, only partly recorded in art books and cardgames.
Part of the fun is slowly building out the legend and filling in all the gaps and theories.
Definitely read it.... just not yet.
There's so much more than 70 books about deep background lore.
@@Ilithilich fair point to me it's a good pick simply cause it's somewhere you can start book wise a place where you can branch off into different books and start to explore what you like and what not
"For him on Terra, we march." Honored Tank Commander Starken from the Baneblade "Wrath of Saint Sieglinde" of the 887 Superheavy Tank Regiment of Krieg, 1st Company. My Homebrew Tankcommander of my Baneblade of the SHT Tankcompany i field from Time to Time. Or at least on of the 4 Tank that make such a Company.
Also a problem with Warhammer lore is that there are SO many cool to learn about. You can bounce around the universe learning about things. Choose something you're interested in, and go piece by piece. However for basic timeline. You learn how the emperor makes his kids + with who. How he loses them, how he finds them. then eventually the horis heresey. Because that is how the emperor ends up on the golden throne for good ( some may say....) (Maybe the emperor is transending into a the 5th chaos god) Who knows.
Then .... start choosing factions or people you like and dive into it.
The emperor ALSO benefits from worship, just like the chaos gods. With trillions worshipping him, he’s become quite powerful, although wishing he wasn’t
21:16- It’s both and neither at the same time! Remember how Bricky said in the beginning that the Warp makes total sense while also making absolutely no sense!?! Yeah!
I was hoping you would cover this one!
We will know we really got her when she starts watching battle reports
the infinite and the divine is honestly my favorite thus far. It is hilariously petty at every opportunity. the one downside is the book expects you to know what certain ships and units look like. For example a couple times the book will say something like "trayzen stepped on top of the death scythe and teleported away", I didn't know what a 'death scythe' looks like. is it a ship, a building, a unit? beyond stuff like that the book is honestly a solid 9/10 would recommend
All the books he recommended are great, but I think Eisenhorn is the best to start with.
Moby - "Extreme ways" is a pretty fitting background number for the 40K timeline
The Gaunt's Ghost series is amazing. 12 or 13 books, and you grow attached to many of the characters. I recommend the Heresy/Siege of Terra books too, but keep in mind that it's a LOT of reading if you're a completionist. There's maybe 5 novels in the series that could be considered filler, even though they're linked to the overall story.
Event Horizon is a great movie that gives me terrors from the warp like vibes
I remember watching it in the early 2000s and barely remember it. Guess it's time to rewatch it with the 40k knowledge I currently have
fyi Philip Eisner, the guy who wrote EH's script has said that his inspiration for the film's core concept, "ship uses hell as an ill considered space shotrtcut", comes from the 40K Warp.
There was also another part to the war in heaven. The Eldar gods had a little fight with each other, one of them named Illith told Kaine she had a bad dream that his followers would shatter him(hehehe foreshadowing what happens to him later). So naturally Kaine being the Eldar god of war decided to do the logical thing and tried to kill everyone causing a war between the Eldar and Khaine. There is more to it than that, and there's a part where Khaine starts a war over a sword shortly after that, because of course he does. 😂😂
I've read somewhere the Emperor started as a common human being "with some psycher powers" (maybe one of the first psychers) and evolved. He got to the point of borning again after dying, then started to "guide humanity, appearing as a prophet, or a great scientist, general or engineer, throught the times, but "anonimously" because he didn't wanted to be revered as a diety".
So.. The irony is: he almost gets killed, is treated like a god AND humanity sacrifices 1000 souls/day to keep him "alive" while not knowing he'd be born again right after.
I think there was a piece of lore that in like 8000 bc a bunch of powerful shamans were afraid of the warp and decided to commit a ritual suicide and merge their souls into one being. And that was The Emperor's birth. He was keeping low profile and showed himself only in Mad Max era. But all of that is an old lore, so it's really unclear if that's still canon.
p.s. I think Eisenhorn books is probably the best choice for first warhammer reading, definitely not Horus rising because well Horus Heresy is a historic event inside the setting. It's like reading about some historic events in Harry Potter's world before the Harry Potter books.
I heard a couple of theories but not this one. I guess it's going to remain a mystery, which is also not a bad thing
Some people really like this theory. It's one of the oldest, too. But honestly I'm not too keen on it myself. That's what's fun about 40K -- a lot of the time, you can make up your own theory about things if you want to. 🙂
I really like that you actually asked the original creator for permission, that's awesome.
Infinite and the Divine was the 1st 40K book I read and it's still the best one.
Some times human psykers are born and manifest their powers usualy around 8-9 years and they can become psykers at any age if they are exposed to enough psychic energy making the mutation to activate or in situations when your emotions become very powerful like obviouslie in the battle field.
From now on, the Lion shall only be known as “Ugly Sanguinius” and I’ll hear no debate
24:33 welcome to 40k, get in line :)
7:02 yep, in every warhammer setting "the great game" as it is called is a well established fact, the four greatest powers of Chaos are fierce rivals, and oftentimes even when one of the gods turns their atention to the material realm he has to look out for the other three not taking advantage of it. there are also other beings in the warp who would wish to become the fifth player in this game, but so far none have succeeded
if you want to know more about the Emperor, and the more in depth parts of the lore in a still digestible fashion, I suggest you react to some stuff from the Templin Institute. They have a ton of very well done 40k videos, and and they are done beautifully, telling all the lore for a specific topic in less then 25 minutes more or less.
It's crazy how popular Warhammer has become these last few years. But i think it has much more to do with just animation series and Cavill's decision to make a movie. I think the whole theme is becoming an inspiration. We love "regression" and "intolerance". The Emperor Protects.
1. The history of the Emperor is deliberately mysterious. We know very little for sure about his life. It's believed that he was born around 8000 BC in Anatolia, modern day Turkey. An old story suggested that he was created by thousands of early psykers called Shamen committing mass suicide and combining their souls to create a super-being. We don't know his 'real' name. The mystery is absolutely deliberate, and will probably never be fully addressed.
2. I strongly recommend the Ciaphas Cain novels as your next foray after Eisenhorn. They follow a highly atypical Commissar in the Imperial Guard, and give a very human perspective on the universe, and the audiobooks are _excellent._
You should check out some 40k audio dramas. Vox in the Void and Warrior Tier both make top tier 40k YT content
I think you’d love the Vox in the Void’s “Gav and Bob” series.
Oh yeah, people mention these channels all the time! I wonder if I should react to them or just watch on my own time
@@ti8ick based on the support that other content creators have gotten reacting to them I’d say myself and the rest of your fans would greatly appreciate the reaction :)
If you want a mechanicus story, vox in the void abomination is a good one.
