10 Interesting Things in Warhammer 40k Lore You've Probably Never Heard Of (Part 2) 

You should consider making a timeline video. Like, seriously, what year is it even? Lol

Hi

only reason im up at midnight ya lad

Diplomat is a spy that does a lot of talking.

Calmly

This is what happens when tyranids feed on a constant diet of tau water caste.

All consuming insectoid/reptilian killing machines? , sounds like regular politicians and diplomats to me

Thats why the lore was removed, it was dumb as shit made by the devs before wh40k blew up

Doo Doo de Doo. Your Emporer requires updates.

"Remove cartridge. Blow in cartridge. Reinsert and power back on."

“Unscrew back panel, use screwdriver to remove and replace the 3 AA batteries. Use paper clip to press the factory reset button.”

@@rayzerot I read "cartridge" as "cartilage"

Lorgar:*cums*

*AN* altar-boy hunt? Singular?

@@robolencca-0126 Its a planet wide hunt *GRIM DARK*

@@robolencca-0126 A bit of an overkill....a bit

Altar boy hunt. Lmaoooo

Well inferior in that they could not engage in resurrection protocols.

I think Pariahs are probably the most well known of these due to DoW1.

@@cp1cupcake no wonder I can still remember Necron Pariahs(cuz I first got into 40k shortly before 5th edition necrons come out)

"nothing is canon, but not everything is true"

@@medramonmasquedecendres2966 Thats literally the opposite of the actual quote

@@medramonmasquedecendres2966 that literally makes no sense how youve phrased it

Or you can just label everything as ‘imperial propaganda’

Luetin09 literally just said this in a recent video on his channel. This comment is definitely stolen because this is the very first time I'm seeing it used outside of a Luetin09 video literally right after Luetin09 said the same thing. The comment isn't even that relevant to the subject matter contained within the video so you had to have posted it solely for the likes instead of actually posting it to just state an opinion or a fact concerning 40K. This comment would have been better suited to have been made for some of the past videos on this channel so the fact that you only just posted it tells me all I need to know.

Considering a kaiju is just a massive creature, he probably has thousands

@@elperronimo nah he definitely would have just 1, I'm pretty sure he's well aware what they're capable of, therefore doesn't want his entire collection to be destroyed by a huge ass monster.

@@vothbetilia4862 Plus, doesn't he have a tendency to only collect a few of each type of creature/lifeform. Like I could see him grabbing a few squads of each type of space marine. But even if he could kidnap all the space wolves for example (he probably can), he wouldn't because he just doesn't need that many of them for his collection. Just a handful of each type is all he needs to represent the whole. So I could see him keeping a dozen or so Kaiju, but thousands would just be a waste of space for him.

@@Loserstakethebait That and they've got to be pretty expensive to feed.

@@barklordofthesith2997 They’d be frozen in stasis

This is why i want GW to let the Demi-Humans to join the Imperium.

A zoat diplomat is in Space Marine by Ian Watson.

They do work for the Inquisition, after all. I wouldn't be surprised if the Inquisition wanted to build a Castigator titan, without the Adeptus Mechanicus' Guidance, so that they could have a Tighter Iron Fist around just about everything, in Order to Enforce their laws, most likely in a Heretical way...

they damaged it, the remains were taken by the Admech by the end of Dark Adeptus

Nobody wants a Man of Iron on steroids. The low level AIs of Imperator class are nasty as it is, an unshackeled AI in a walking doomsday device with a penchant for rebellion is even worse

@@Liminal.Headspace Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Titans use AI. From my understanding, the self awareness of the Castigator, or any Imperial Tech in use, comes from its Machine Spirit, which only became a thing after The Mechanicum rose to power. Princeps link to a Titan, on some pacific rim type shit so it stands to reason that 99% of titans aren’t able to do a whole lot without the neural input of a pilot(s) A Machine Spirit in any practical sense is just a Re-Skin AI. Both can be low or high level, with varying degrees of capabilities. The difference is that The men of Iron, or true Sentient AI were formed by human hands, and at some point, their own self improving/replicating tech. A machine spirit is shaped by the literal belief that a machine has a soul. That’s why Sentient Machine spirits are so rare, the kind of technology needed to produce one is rarely found. The more powerful a machine spirit is, the more demented it tends to be from my experience researching it

@@ianharrison5758 Low level doesn't mean quality, it refers to integration and hardware acces. The Machine Spirit is integral to the machine itself, whatever it maybe. You can't use it without using the AI, but it also can't use the hardware without you. Castigators are fully autonomous. Sentience itself is irrelevant, the Machine Spirits are clearly sentient to a degree, but they can't act without a human link. AIs in WH40K are also slightly or highly psychic. The ban on AI in WH40K is deceiving, only fully autonomous AIs were banned. Sentience is a complicated topic, autonomy is very straight forward.

Imagine if it had the gift of a chaos god

They still exist just are extremely rare and significantly weaker.

tbh it’s annoying at times but tbf it’s also a great part of the appeal: everything is grim. everything sucks.

Isn't the plague war a massive w for the imperium? Morty got fucked and has to get disciplined by gpa nurgle. The death guard lost shit loads of Marines and the cauldron of nurgle was Destroyed or something.

@@crandoodledaddy.6243 burned, not straight up destroyed, but yes, it was a big W for the imperium, and so does Indomitus crusade

@@briantarigan7685 Its nice that the imperium atleast got one true W at this point, they definitely needed one.

@@briantarigan7685 I was talking bout the cauldron the priest blew up that kugath was using. But yeah garden got burned some too I forgot that.

would be nice if the Exodites ever got new models to include a titan class dino of them

It was the best to exterminatus. ... Imagine if the Tyranids get hold on some of their DNA. (not to say they don't have Kaiju sized units themselves already)

@@jonumine6250 Even better , everybody in the galaxy is getting that boost of troops for the meat grinder that is 40k , the more the better ( if handled correctly in lore ) .

In fairness, the Old Ones already made Kaiju. They were called the Krork.

Clones

Maybe him getting so many was the reason not enough could be found

In an empire of a million worlds, one in a billion would still equal a ton of them. Eisenhorn starts his own gang of blanks at one point. As for finding them, I don't know.

They are like 10 people ...cloned into thousands ... and its most likely that blanks are not affected by the cosmic bad luck afflicting the other clone armies created. Because they are not connected to the warp which causes the bad luck to the clones of regular humans.

@@somethinglikethat2176 There is probably a shitton of imperial propaganda along the lines of: "Do you get mild headache when being in a five-meter radius of your newborn child, or can you percive something similarily unusual about it? Report to local Autorities as soon as possible! The Emperor protects!"

I’m sure he’s got a lot of other topics to cover in actual lore then alternate fan universes

Im sure you’re gay

@@inzanemonkey0510 He already covered Dornian Heresy

@@inzanemonkey0510 Roboutian heresy vid is gud vid and you know it

Oh because it is coming. ;)

Source pls

@@loowick4074 the RU-vid channel Aborderprince, he does a lot of 40k narrations

If it is the story I am remembering it was a really old short story collection called Into The Maelstrom from 1999 but I could be remembering wrong

@@loowick4074 Battle of the Archaeosaurs by Barrington J. Bayley, part of the Dark Imperium Antalogy (2001)

@@marrvynswillames4975 thanks.

Horus would not be seen as a Primarch, maybe a son like commander now called the Arch-heretic for his betrayal of the Emperor and leading traitors during the civil war.

Inquisitor Spinoza remember that in her school, they used to teach that the 9 primarchs were made to fight the 9 devils, through she got the lash for asking "why the Emperor didn't made 100 primarchs, instead of equal number to the devils?"

@@marrvynswillames4975 Yeah, i'm no expert on WH40K but i'm pretty sure that the avg human in the Imperium knows nothing (or very little at best) of the Horus Heresy. I'm not sure how well the Astartes are versed on it as well.

Not that strange considering War of the Beast era Orks were far more intelligent than the Orks nowadays, and that Orks in general have higher sapience than Tyranids.

But, Imagine the 2 of them in One room 🙂

Y e s

@@The-Real-JD *angry Mechanicus noises*

It was more about the AI... still dumb because I am sure it could still be operated by regular humans ... if with a lesser effectiveness.

@@MrFallenone but how do they turn the A.I off?

@@lucasbeck1391 well they build it but with out ai, as I understand stc are blue prints. But I guess the mechanics would possibly call the modification heresy to so fuck if I know.

For real you are right, grimdark can kinda fuck off, sometimes good grimdark is having something good just out of reach

Say fact again

@@planetside9714 lol I actually didnt realise how many times I putt it in there

@@_NIKOS9_NIKOS There's a "That's what she said!" joke in there somewhere.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

needs a blue pill

in a certain way, now the Silent King's dynasty got something similar in the tabletop, they have blackstone in their body

Plus, Zoats look pretty cool, and less conventional.

through, no faction got really a reason to do diplomacy with someone whose only objective is eat you, even if the idea is "this one is too strong for we fight head on", the nids will just avoid for a time before attacking

The only time I’ve come across a Zoat in the lore was way back in the Space Marine books. The squad of Imperial Fists the book followed were deep in a hive ship having straight up murdered everything that so much as moved in their presence so the Zoat was sent to try and talk to them it even said something about even space marines joining them the “Lambs of the emperor” (Lamenters… even the Tyranids talk shit about them). As it turns out the heart of the Hiveship was in the next “room” so diplomacy was a final attempt to not have the hiveship killed by a group of angry super soldiers. It actually did ok until one of the marines pointed out that this was the first time anything had talked to them so it was trying to hide something. Then it make a huge mistake and killed that marine who was a close friend of Lysander who was standing next to it and promptly punched its head clean off…. Fun times.

Old One-Eye is sort of a name lol

@@marrvynswillames4975 True. Zoats are probably used prior to the Nids being identified in a given galaxy. Like Zoats would work great to sway people to follow the Nids prior to seeing what the Nids actually are. But once a galaxy becomes aware of them and their motives, the diplomats would just get slaughtered on sight by every race.

Wait, demons on lightbikes!? What's that book?

@@Naptosis well, not quite, they manage to invade a virtual world being used as a training ground. The book is called Into the Maelstrom, its a collection of short stories.

Indeed! Actually made a wh40k vampire OC some months ago..cringy perhaps but I like giving the non main xeno’s more attention

The Journal of Keeper Cripias say some remained allied with mankind, but where purged anyway after the war

Not Entirely purged, for example the Kastelan robots are still around and used. And if I remember correctly the men of iron are still around, but not in use for the most part. However there some speculations that the Squats will potentially use them.

@@vothbetilia4862 I watched a video a long time ago that depicted a ship that was lost in the warp for ages that was AI. It was 'friendly' to the humans as it was not part of the Men of Iron war, but i say that in the context of it not attacking them. It did however, verbally tear them a new azzhole. It mocked the Skitarri preist for chanting to the Omnissia & belittles the humans/humanity that had fallen so far from the race that it willfully called "master" at one time. I don't remember whom penned the whole thing but i was very impressed with the writing.

With the Blackstone Fortress release a few years ago, there was a Man of Iron pretending to be a Mechanicus robot (I think a Kastelan). I got the impression from his story that he liked specific humans but didn't really care for mankind. He also really wishes for someone who wouldn't try and kill him on sight because its been a really really really long time since he could find anyone to talk to.

I believe if you look up “Battle of the Archaeosaurs” aborder prince has a video on it.
