A related parallel that I enjoy in the mythos is that, during the war to unite Terra, the Emperor went up against a particular techno-barbarian called the Priest-King of Maulland Sen. The Emperor disapproved of the Priest-King's experiments into cloning and genetic manipulation, only to go on to do those same things. It's a short bit of lore, but it is essentially foreshadowing how the Emperor slowly betrays the more altruistic ideas that exist in humanity trekking the stars in favor of imperialistic crusade.
Only a few minutes in the video, but Iirc, the emperor also goes on to ban genetic manipulation and gene therapy in the adeptus mechanicus when the treaty of Mars was signed.
4:56 Then the emperor genetically engineered 20 pickled grandpas, calling them Snokes. They were designed to be his greatest puppets, but only one survived and succeeded in becoming sliced in half while sitting in golden slippers.
Nice video! Always great to listen to your 40k stuff as I hobby. I'd love to hear maybe like, an oral history of the early years of 40k, the actual game. Like, I know it was originally Warhammer fantasy IN SPACE, but at some point they pivoted into making the setting it's own thing. Stuff like how squats used to be a train based army, or the gradual switch away from generic terms like space marines and imperial guard to more copyrightable terms, and funky original lore stuff or even just pictures of some of the first kits and white dwarf stuff that were expanded massively into the setting and lore we know today. Anyway, keep up the awesome work!
In the Beast Arises series, Warsmith Kalkator of the Iron Warriors theorises that becoming a god was *always* the Emperor's game-plan. Kalkator has never met the Emperor, but he knows enough about daemonology to understand how you might go about achieving such a thing, since an independent daemon prince is basically a lesser deity. For example, anointing millions of soldiers with your chosen rune and then sacrificing them all in a bloody civil war would probably do the job.
KENOBI!!!! More of this, I’d love to see some primarch magic cards personally, I built Kharn when he was released, working a Morty deck and a Lucious deck but they are still on the table being built
I remain perplexed that anyone can have a passing familiarity with this stuff and come to the conclusion that the Emperor was anything but a raging twat.
I have always enjoyed your takes on MTG (as a fellow D&T enjoyer) - but in the last 2 months I bought myself my first 40k minis and have been consuming a lot of lore about the universe, I have to said I thoroughly enjoyed 40k Lore with dick jokes by PK. Whatever follow up videos you make, I will be watching them.
I wish I could enjoy the books. I couldn't get past how many of them require a 40K Encyclopedia to understand the context. Too many scenes of "And then X guy from Y faction shows up" that I know the author expects me to recognize them but I just don't. Even if I did though it doesn't feel as fun to read a story that's a series of names. Like the new Ork book for example- no clue who those other fellas are but the book implies that I should feel like "Oh shit, those guys are here?"
I dont think that's very fair. Sure, a handful of the books might be like that - but the large body of Black Library is written in such a way as to allow non-entrenched people to understand and follow. Just because a faction or name is mentioned, it doesn't mean your meant to know everything about them. That's not how any dense fantasy or science fiction works.

The human supremacists/purists being ruled by a bunch of mutants and cyborgs is a good bit.

A refreshing take on a 40k lore dump. It's what I follow your content for. Please continue with more
A run-down of all the Primarchs would be great. Spending half that video talking about Best Boy Sanguinius would be the greatest.

I would definitely watch a breakdown of each Primark. Sounds like grim dark The Bachelor
Primarch dating sim when? Come on GW, you're leaving money on the table!
KENOBI!!!!

If you know the lore already, this video is amazing and great fun. I love to see more.
Glad you enjoy it!
As someone who is not invested in 40k whatsoever, this is exactly the type of way I want to experience it!
This was great, no notes. I'll listen to basically any 40k lore you decide to do in this style.
Woooooow the intro 40,000/40,000
I thougth this was going to be about senrtain something shard left porposefully on mars
Underrated channel
definatly break down the primarchs in more detail !
i like when the emperor says that the primarchs are his version of fuckin pinnochio
Hold on honey, I need my 15 minutes of PK discussing 40K
Umm yes, I would love to hear you rag on all the Primarchs for a solid 20min video. 100% would watch on repeat.
E is a great example of Nope.
Please break down the Primarch like hot chips. Thanks Vince!
YEEESSASS MORE 40K content let’s goooooooo!!!!!
Kind of want to see a game between Vince and Majorkill.
I remain perplexed that anyone can have a passing familiarity with this stuff and come to the conclusion that the Emperor was anything but a raging twat.
But Vince 13:32 the ultramarines have no genetic flaw besides being super boring
Their flaw is that they are cringe.
Oh fuck yeah I’m here for this

I want to see you break down the primarchs in a way that is more interesting than say a bag of Hot Chip
Love it!
I enjoy storytime with Milk Daddy.
Good stuff.
