    I always like seeing the sharp delineation between 30k and 40k put into contrast, and one such element is the Feudal element. For all Warhammer is described as a middle-ages inspired franchise, in-universe the modern Imperium is more akin to a authoritarian and fascistic military dictatorship that attempts, attempt being the key word because Administratum, total control over every aspect of life.
    And I also loved that you covered the "Lords of Cursed Tears", with Occulus even slowing slightly when covering the Tech-Thralls. Truly, such a horrid practice shakes a viewer ten thousand years down the line.

  • @KaiserAfini
    @KaiserAfini 4 роки тому +2

    Tagma were the elite elite troops of emperor Constantine V of the Byzantine Empire. Since these are the elite troops of every forge world techno empire, they utilized the plural, taghmata. In context, the word means "to set in order". Therefore, they fix the things that impede the ultimate role of the Mechanicum: the quest for knowledge. Which says a lot of how the tech priests see war on a philosophical level.

    I find it interesting that among so much decentralization after the Heresy, the Mechanicus was made less autonomous and more beholden to the Fabricator General. I wonder if they eventually killed off the Jovian and Saturnine factions who didn't fall...perhaps roll them into Cawl's faction to explain the foreign innovations

      @jesseberg3271 4 роки тому +3

      Everybody else.
      A full scale war between the Mechanicus and the rest of the Imperium would be so disasterous for both that they would essentially destroy themselves. Whole Segmenta would be lost to Orks, Tyranids, Chaos and Necrons. Even the Eldar could probably end up stronger than humanity after such a war.

    The old Mechanicum's governing system is very similiar to "Feudal Japan". A Chronicler could be forgiven to be confused by such a name, it was a society made in ancient Terra, where man of different kind were isolated from each other by oceans, not stars.

  • @Matihood1
    @Matihood1 4 роки тому +3

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the "g" in "magos" and "magi" is supposed to be soft, like in "graphic", due to these words deriving from Latin.

    • @rogerwhite5061
      @rogerwhite5061 4 роки тому

      In the case of Magnus the Red then the G is pronounced that way but Magi would be pronounced like Mage with the J. It is a good point but Magi doesnt come from Latin but rather is Zoroastrian and would've come from old persian and assyrian , those languages giving us the J pronunciation. if you look at the entimologicall site they'll confirm its zoroastrian origins, and then the greeks picked up the pronuncian who gave it to the Romans and hence down to us. Sorry for being overly verbose. Also Mechanicus organizations follow more greek than latin it seems while terra follows more Latin , though both greek and latin get used in High Gothic it seems.

    • @MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen
      @MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen 3 роки тому

      @@rogerwhite5061 I did a little digging around in etymological dictionaries and references, and they all point towards using a sound equivalent to the hard g in modern English. There is a little wiggle room, but it's mostly a continuum from /gh/ to /kh/, with the hard g in the middle somewhere - though there's no way in hell I'll be using a /gh/ when I place Archmagos Cawl on the battlefield :D

    I'm looking for some discussion or clarification on pronunciation.... Wondering how Black library audio dramas actually pronounce some of these terms, because myself (an American) hears some of these and think they are incredibly goofy and straight up wrong. I also like buying my physical copies of books and don't have the income to spend that extra money on the priced up audio dramas, though I would enjoy a listen. To me it's chalked up as content creators being European and possibly having English as their second language , though I always joke the English for having invented the language are the absolute worst at speaking it! Conflicts of pronunciation I hear the the most and am the most puzzled by are Skitarii, Arbites, Princeps and Legionnes. I read and say Ski-tar-ee with an emphasis on the ee sound since it's spelled with double ii. I hear Ski-tar-ee-aye (like aye captain) and think WTF. Arbites, which I think is silly in either pronunciation and prefer to refer to them as The Arbitrators, I hear pronounced by content creators as ar-bi-tays, while I read ar-(like a pirate)bites. And then there's the content creator pronounced legio-nays, which I just think is hilarious. To me It's just a goofy spelling and to be said like legions. Also I hear princeps pronounced prin-Keps, not prin-Seps, which equally baffles me....

    • @UnCivilEngineerIRL
      @UnCivilEngineerIRL 10 днів тому

      Most of those words are kinda Latin, or pseudo Latin, inspired, so that should probably inform the correct 'in universe' pronunciation.
      The Imperium is heavily influenced by (albeit heavily exaggerated), Roman Catholic aesthetics eg Cathedral styles, robes, even some equipment like rosarious (rosery beads).
      Maybe put the words into Google translate and set it to Latin 🤷‍♂️

      @WASDLeftClick 4 роки тому +2

      Personally your accent combined with the pattern of speech you affect is a major part of what makes your videos great man. As an American from the South East it doesn’t quite sound like any one accent I’ve ever heard, which in a way makes your in-character narration really feel like a person from the far-future who’s accent is completely different from any in existence today speaking a slightly different version of English. Ignoring of course that English, assuming it even survives the 38k years, would be completely unrecognizable to the modern speaker just as much as Old English is. Basically I’m saying your videos have a certain authenticity to them that is only rivaled by the likes of Lord Baldemort when he’s not breaking character.
