40 Facts and Lore on Imperial Pleasure Planets in Warhammer 40K 

My faith is tellin me nooo, but my boooddyy. *MY BODYS TELIN ME YEESS*

It’s hard to imagine anyone in the imperium experiencing pleasure

Brother, get the Flamer. *The HEAVY Flamer.*

When I see a bondage nun in the thumbnail, I click like.

When Pleasure world is facing a minor incursion and The Astra Militarum go to protect it: >Pack your administratum approved water-resistant flak armour shorts boys, we're going on a bloody vacation!

How is Slannesh not ALL OVER these planets?!

that thumbnail has slaanesh plagued all over it

"Not today Slaanesh!"

holy shit 1 min ago and I am the first to indulge? Emperor protect me from Slaanesh's influence...

*Sees thumbnail* What in the emperor’s name is this?

1:48 When you beat the third Vex Raid so they run away to the 40K universe...

Slannesh has infected me with deja vu....

They really shouldn’t be called pleasure worlds, I thought they were infested with dark eldar coomers at first

So essentially these are planets that secretly worship Slaanesh.

Everyone in the Imperial Guard: “This is what i am fighting and dying for?” The Chademperor of Mankind: “NO”

"The Lore of Warhammer is a pathway to many Worlds, some may deem Unnatural" -Some Evil Bloke from a Galaxy far far away

If only they didn't abuse the Holy Terra, they could still have a pleasure planet they could call home.

That thumbnail almost made me lose No Nut November! Heresy!!! God Emperor protect me from Slaanesh’s power. 😰

A lot of the comments are Slannesh this and Slannesh that. While that may be true of those that come to Pleasure worlds, I would say the average Pleasure World native is LESS likely to fall to Slannesh. After all, they know how to process and release their emotions BEFORE they have the chance to fester into something dark. Free from repression (political or emotional) and free from the trauma of violence, Pleasure Worlders have something rarely seen in the Imperium. THEY ARE PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY!!

Your intonation is like whiskey, you have to get used to it, but you aquire the taste

Script for this video provided by Warhammer wiki - A Pleasure World, also known as a Paradise World and sometimes as a Garden World, is the playground of the Imperial nobility. They tend to be of outstanding natural beauty and the population of such worlds are dedicated to pampering the important Imperial visitors they often receive, such as members of major noble houses, members of the Navis Nobilite, Planetary Governors, important Ecclesiarchy officials like Confessors and Cardinals, Imperial Commanders, Rogue Traders and wealthy Chartist Captains. Pleasure Worlds are often very cultured places, and many have huge proportions of their populace dedicated solely to producing works of art, music or other forms of entertainment. Casino complexes, opulent restaurants and huge ballrooms are often found on such worlds. There is a darker side to Pleasure Worlds, particularly those who cater to the tastes of the more depraved guests they receive and Pleasure Worlds often host one or more Chaos Cults dedicated to Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure. Some Pleasure Worlds contain large developing cities and other major settlements. All Pleasure Worlds are considered a sub-set of the class of planets known to the Imperium as Civilised Worlds. Garden Worlds hold a unique position within the Imperium, in that they are one of the few kinds of planets with minimal technological development. The Imperial Tithes from these planets are often lower than usual or are entirely non-existent, as many are lightly populated and may have no readily available resources to extract. Instead, Garden Worlds offer the Imperium a multitude of idyllic settings, ranging from recuperative locales to private estates, in exchange for protection. They are tranquil environments, though worrisome considerations still dangle like loose threads on a beautiful tapestry. Some are rumoured to have been ancient terraforming experiments from the Dark Age of Technology, and could be environmentally unstable. Others are believed rediscovered after abating Warp Storms, and so could disappear again without warning. Still more are thought to be the lost homes of intelligent alien species, and woe to any living there should the xenos return or reawaken. Life on a Garden World The vast majority of Garden Worlds are named for their unparalleled beauty and largely undeveloped surface. Though they have all the amenities the Imperium has to offer, they do not sacrifice the peaceful surroundings to accommodate more people. Many of these worlds are places of refuge and respite, while others are monasteries or training facilities. Regardless of their use, the basics of living engender the development of a mindset or lifestyle that supports what the world delivers. Healers develop new methods to aid the afflicted. Scholars and priests research or meditate on their texts and relics. Even some of the martial orders have recognised the need for contemplation and reflection to better hone their impressive combat skills. Each of these outlooks, as well as many others, develops into a micro-culture that essentially becomes the commodity of the planet. Compared to the majority of other planets in the Imperium, Garden Worlds move at a different pace. While not necessarily slower in speed, the sense of urgency, or in some cases panic, found elsewhere rarely exists here. On most of these worlds, value is placed on being thorough and contemplative in all actions, weighing all possibilities and seeking the best from those available. Most natives have a relaxed flow to their lives, usually due to methodical planning and preparation. Since there is often very little internal or external conflict on these worlds, major changes in their schedules or plans seldom occur. Though most of these planets are firmly part of the Imperium of Man, others are privately-owned or cater to other clienteles. These worlds are often on the fringes of lawful sector authorities, and can exist outside the blessings of Terra. Those living here might hold much more relaxed views concerning Imperial law, and lifetimes of dealing with the rich and powerful can hone their social skills to preternatural levels. Though the mindset of the community determines much of their behavior, many Garden World natives exude an almost eerie and unearthly sense of calm. They are for the most part methodical, but approach problem-solving in a more holistic way, utilising both hard analysis and intuition to complete their objectives. These folk sometimes constitute some of the Imperium's finest envoys and orators, having an innate ability to put people at ease and connect with others. Garden Worlders are open people and expressive but are equally skilled at keeping their emotions under control temporarily to achieve necessary goals. They do not relish this, however, and most make a point of finding a way soon after to process the emotional content before it finds new and unhealthy ways to manifest. With these skills sets, Garden Worlders make for exceptional military analysts, healers, and diplomats throughout the Imperium. The Adeptus Administratum frequently recruits from these worlds and -- though the Imperial Tithes for psykers are normally low on Garden Worlds -- the quality of the recruits from these planets ensures that very few of them escape notice from the Scholastica Psykana. The Adeptus Ministorum has also found exceptionally talented scholars and priests on these planets and often maintains permanent bases there to find new clergy. Rogue Traders who frequent such worlds often take the finest to become part of their crews, where their skills in calm discussion can aid in commercial negotiations.

I’m not gonna lie, the way your voice falls in the exact same pattern and the fact that every sentence ends on the same tone is kinda infuriating.

Sounds like a breeding ground for slaanesh

This is the black Templar it’s time for a purging of this planet

All I see is a nunn with a ballgag and I'm just like "ok I'm down"

01:03 I didn't know Dandelion was working in a pleasure house, i mean outisde of Novigrad... was it Ciri who brought him there and left him behind? 🤔🤔

1:47 Isnt that concept art for a Vex gate from Destiny

Your voice... is kinda breaking my brain... just be natural and don’t try too hard

In a universe so dark and corrupted by violence never even thought pleasure was even a thing in 40K

And this, inquisitor, is why there is an endless stream of Slaaneshi cultists running around the imperium.

0:49, erm... Is that, Valerian Mengsk? That's kind of the wrong franchise my friend, though they are quite similar!

15:42 Thumbnail pic

Can nobody enjoy a little hobby in this world without getting corrupted

This was an awesome video. So you mentioned "long lost Xenos" could have been the original inhabitants for a pleasure planet... I was thinking about doing like a marble tile floor, and fancy ball room theme basing and palace display board for my Necrons. What's the likelihood that a pleasure planet could've accidentally been developed on top of a tomb world? I just think it's awesome to have a bunch of dead commissars and priest everywhere in piles of ash or whatnot while necron warriors are climbing out of a tile floor haha. Could this idea work?

Nice thumbnail 👌🏾😏

You know you could always live on a pleasure planet if *cough* you worship choas *cough*

That seems like a perfectly sound idea with no horrible, tenatcle-y consequences down the road

Wait! Didn't they already put this vid out before?

Really great video, thanks for making!

Slaanesh made OMS post this again. Hersey

This thumbnail is HERESY

"they also hide a sinister side" - this is where it became 40k. Everything up to that point, not so much.

Now that’s what I call slaneshi clickbait

I just wanna see the whole of the pic on the cover

This video may have been a bit more interesting if your entire narration didn't sound like you were whispering into the microphone at 3am, afraid to wake up your parents. Not bashing, it just sounds, um, 'not casual'? If that makes sense?

You know what, the reason this is unsettling is because being calm and focused makes one appear alien to the constantly terrified and/or insane populace of the imperium

40K.... where nothing is done without turning it up until the knob falls off. Never going up to eleven, these mofos take it up to infinity. The entire setting is material for a score of doctoral theses on criminal and abnormal psychology.

I'm surprised the imperium has not wiped out pleasure worlds considering what goes on there.

The Emperor of Mankind wants to know your location

My most favorite educational video on the 40k universe.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is still always room for sanctioned respite and vanity.

this video implies there are worlds in the imperium who's sole export is dakimakuras.

Came for the thumbnail

Imagine being able to escape the hellscape of the 41st century to just chill in a garden for your life

#question - would you still get the Indomitus box if was just the necrons models? #question - which would be more powerful, a cortana level unsc AI or a warhammer 40k AI from any of the races? #question - what anime would the inquisition approve for imperial citizen to watch?

2:08 does this mean we can have Hugetitania 3 in the Milf sub-sector?

Ugh! A guy just can’t sit by the beach with a piña colada without there being something sinister in this universe.

Gonna need the sauce on that thumbnail boss

All worlds within The Emperor's light are pleasure worlds.

Stay strong my brothers, 2 weeks on the nearest pleasure world is on me!!!

Nice wallpaper arts on this video 15:44 thanks

I think gw should make a story about how our earth is just a pleasure world for those who want to return to a more simple time,all the missing person cases around the world could be the work of genestealer cults

Pleasure worlds will have luxury toasters

The imperial directory is growing! FOR THE EMPEROR! What is your Duty? To serve Emperor's Will. What is Emperor's Will? That we fight and die. What is Death? It is our duty. What is your Duty? ...

LOL - I noticed Valerian Mengsk and Jaskier/Dandelion among "imperial guests" ;)

*its everything I need to know but not everything I want to know*

Gershwan always got that library voice goin on xD

Now this is my type of lore

1:48. Bro is that og destiny concept art?? Like I’m getting Venus flashbacks with the vex from this 😂

16:04 hey wait a second, this is from blasphemous.

I love the content you post but you can work on the intonation in voice delivery. You almost always end your sentences on a higher intonation while the sentences that have commas are spoken as if they end in periods. Great job on research!

I recently been listening to Warhammer 40K Audible books and wanted to know if anyone knows of any with Imperial Pleasure Planets .Thank you for any suggestions .

Lol that destiny concept art at 1:47

this is so different from most 40k stuff just like the tau

Awesome great video

This is mostly about psykers and not pleasure worlds.. the tangents are enormous with OMS :D

And the Imperium wonders why they have such a problem with the forces of chaos showing up on their planets

At first it seemed like a great place to live, then you remember that this is Warhammer 40k, and its just as fucked as every other place

This is why we need the Navigators to be shackled to the ships. They should be kept from the jewels of the Imperium and strapped to a chair or in a tank like the Precepts of a Knight. I speak only to save those of these worlds from the ruinous powers and to be kept in the Emperor's light!

Better to take the edge off living in the Imperium by clapping cheeks on a Pleasure World than falling to the ruinous powers of Slaanesh.

In the first 4ok book I read, a pleasure world is raided by the drukhari, an awesome and confusing introduction into warhammer lol

0:47 That's prince Valerian Mengsk from the Starcraft universe.

Suggestion: tyranids nice

Hell yeah, send me to the BDSM planet.

That thumb blew me . Heresy ? ha ha killing me .

This is literally word for word from the wiki. Congratulations, you can read 😑

im going to need a link to the picture at 20:35 ! i love it, i went through all the art links though and couldn't find it :(

QUESTION: Does the Grimdark tag lone no longer hold true?

Where can I find this thumbnail?

It's weird that the imperium even allows this considering slaanesh and all that lol.

well now I need to whip my self for the Emperor before this heresy corrupts me.

For the GREATER GOOD

Every empire needs the fun olanrs to keep the citizens amused and not rebelling.

And no inquisitors watch out for theses pleasure worlds? this kind of hedonism is however very favorable to the cults of chaos, especially those of Slaanesh.

1:40 THE PHRASE IS A SHOCK TO MY 40K SENSIBILITIES D:

I had kind of grown ok with thinking every inch of the universe is living hell.

Am I hallucinating or didn't you already do this video like a week ago

*life is hard, life is stressfull* ~ Emperor doing the dance on some beach

At 1:46... that's Destiny. Venus I believe, right before you fight one of the end bosses of the Vex.

"ah yes we'll send this heretic to Pleasure Planet 209, Dick Cheney will be waiting for him with a 20 gauge."
