40k Lore, The Yu'Vath! Mysterious Warp Wielders! 

"Nooo! You can't constantly use the warp without getting posessed!" "Ha ha, space ball goes *bwham*"

Yu'Vath xenos slaves: "So, free or under new management?" The Imperium: "No."

Yu'Vath: uses hell as a power souce. Doom Slayer: cracks knuckles.

Sooo... the Astartes found the core of a Yu'vath Roomba on that ship.

"It would be like installing a miniature Chernobyl power plant for the purpose of cleaning your carpet." So...Fallout.

Step 1Strap electodes to slanesh for power. Step 2 Avoid getting inquisitioned. Step 3 ??? Step 4 Profit.

For me, the whole mysterious great crusade pre-heresy period is the most interesting time in 40k lore. As well as the imperium, there are uncounted human offshoots such as the Interex and Auretian Technocracy, and also loads of xeno races like the Kinebrach and Lair. Come and get me, Lord Inquisitor.

"These abhorrent little aliens deicided to poke the demon bear to see what they can get away with and before they knew it they were balls deep in monster grizzly ass and the only way to survuve was to cling on yet tighter" How did you come up with this?

These guys sound like one of the Old One's many attempts to create an anti-Necron species.

Sounds more like a cabal of sorcerer overlords rather then a single race. Very interesting. They were based near where the Severan Dominate is now right? What happens if the Duke finds some of their toys?

I like the idea of the Yu'Vath being a massive intergalactic empire who defeated their own version of Chaos long ago, taming it, allowing them to use the Warp without fear and establish an intergalactic empire built on slavery and the idea that they are the most superior race in existence (hard to argue with them when they enslaved entire galaxies) and as the last bastion of "true civilization". I also like to imagine the only reason they didn't notice their "outpost" empire in the Milky Way going silent is because they're too busy engaged in a intergalactic war against the Tyranids to care about one little minor galaxy on the edges of their domain. Mostly because I hate the arrogance of assuming that the Milky Way houses the entirety of the universes most advanced civilizations in the 41st. In a universe as alive as 40k, there MUST be intelligent life EVERYWHERE. Or at least, everywhere that the Tyranids haven't been.

Yu'Vath: Khorlexia, whats on my shopping list? Khorlexia: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! Yu'Vath: Oh right, need to pick that up for the party.

10:15 "Or I could infest my Computer with Satan" it seems the Yu'Vath went down the UAC route without the interference of the Doom Slayer and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

“That’s where the Tyranids came from” And I can’t think of a better argument for there being no more life outside our galaxy

The Yu’Vath sounds like they should be introduced as a major faction at some point.

Yu'Vath:"Satan, tell me the recipe to make waffles" Satanphone:"sure, here's the recipe to make waffles: Preheat waffle iron. Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in human eyes, milk, blood of an unborn baby, sugar, baking powder, bat wings and vanilla, just until smooth..." Yu'Vath:"thank you, Satan, you're so helpful!" Satanphone:"thanks! And remember, before removing the nails of your slaves, drive sewing needles under them! They'll feel more pain this way!" Yu'Vath:"haha! LOL, you know so many things!" Satanphone:"of course, it's my job to torture people in Hell forev... I mean, be Hellpful!" Yu'Vath:"what a nice AI, I made the right choice when I sacrificed those 66 virgins!"

Nuclear powered vacuum cleaner I’m pretty sure that the fallout universe did that.

I love the idea of a rogue trader game in the Callix sector, where you find a Yu’vath artifact and then just… everything gets fucked up, you realize how deep the tendrils of the ancient empire has wriggled into the minds of hundreds of leaders of hundreds of planets.

I yearn for the day you talk about Noise Marines.

Yu'Vath PC running Mallal-OS, maybe they had some great anti-chaos scanners on those badboys?

"We are going to *mumble mumble*" 'You what?' "Yes, we are."

Yeah, I'm thinking the Inquisition is entirely justified in keeping this knowledge from the public. In the wrong hands, one could undo a lot of the Emperor's hard work with this kind of Warp nonsense.

Someone is riding the Astartes hypewave, I see

I'd be really curious to see a video on Q'Sal. A world populated with Tzeentchian sorcerers that are surprisingly peaceful who are mostly basing their economy of trade with the other factions of the Screaming Vortex

Enlighten us, oh lore master! Enlighten us on precisely how to kill this particular batch of warp tainted xenos abominations.

I've been playing and reading about 40K for over a decade now and there's still fairly well-developed species that I have never heard of before! 40K is truly a unique universe. No other sci-fi setting is more well-developed than 40K!

*One of the more obscure races in 40k lore the Yu'Vath are tough to be extinct, but appearances may be deceiving!* I believe that *_tough_* should be *_thought_* Arch.

Is it possible perhaps that the Yu'vath were unknowingly favored by the chaos gods? Chaos looked at them and saw an adorable puppy, and therefore allowed them to do more than others civs could?

The Yu'Vath: the 40K justification for half the crap Player Characters pull.

3:20 Eldar: are we a joke! Slaanesh: sorry already did most of the work the moment I was born

If i remember correctly the warp was much calmer before the birth of Slaanesh. Considering that, during that time the Yu'Vath technology would have been much safer than it is in modern 40k. Still not safe mind you, but safer at least.

So, 40k's version of UAC from Doom? Argent energy is safe, c'mon guys!

"There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it. But let's keep going to see what happens."

Honestly your videos are the most fun I've ever had while collecting information on any type of lore ever.

A plausible way to interpret the Yu’Vath would be something like: In the distant past, before The War in Heaven, there was a society that can be called the ancient Yu’Vath. In that era, the warp was calm and they developed unfathomably advanced technologies powered by warp energy. Many of these warp powered technologies were sentient or virtually sentient. Something happened and the ancient Yu’Vath left the known universe. No way to know if they were killed or just left. However, many of their constructs were left behind. Over the eons, most were destroyed, but some survived long enough to be discovered by human explorer’s during the Age of Technology. By that point using the warp was far more dangerous than when the Yu’Vath built their things. So, the technology had been substantially corrupted by this point. when the humans began to interface with the alien devices, they granted great power to their users, but their special flavor of corruption began to set in. Before any information regarding these events made it back to the rest of humanity, the Eldar festivities reached their climax, resulting in their nearly species wide apotheosis and full on warp insanity. Once isolated, the certain adventurous humans fully embraced, bonded with, and were corrupted by the Yu’Vath technology to quickly evolve into the modern Yu’Vath. These modern Yu’Vath are the entities that produced the civilization that the Imperial Crusade later destroyed. Thus, all the evidence regarding behavior and physiology were based on studies of the modern Yu’Vath and reveal nothing about the nature of the ancient Yu’Vath.

My video of the Astartes Analysis was influenced by Arch and I also jumped on the Yu'Vath race theory, all went well until the ASTARTES Creator said that his xenos/daemon antagonists have NOTHING to do with previous 40K lore. Alas...

There are millions of other celestial and non celestial beings out there that are mentioned in lore but we will see some new races come to 40k

Well, using the warp in this manner just sounds incredibly useful to be fair... Hang on somebody's at the door.

Everyday I'm more convinced the spaceskeletonbois are the good guys.

THE RED ONES, GO FASTER~! - ORKS

It's incredible how one guy who made such an amazing series of videos (and seems to be working on more future videos!) managed to get Arch to make a video about an obscure species of xenos when we're been asking for years (and some of us who used to donate to paetron) to progress with the Primarch videos since the Konard Curze and relatively "recent" Lorgar ones was really good.

I always wanted a Chaos Xenos Codex. These guys sound like they’d be up their with the Saruthi, Loxatl, and the Lear.

Dear Mr. Arch I heard some unseteling, digusting, outright heretical things that are supousedly to happened in the new Siege of Terra: Saturnine novel? Have you read it? I am scared sad and alone and I need someone to hold my hand and tell me that all is going to be OK!

@Arch Warhammer. You do have a most excellent way with words, descriptions and a bodaceous manner of enunciation.

Astartes 5 was amazing! Me: Does a lot of research on Astartes 5 theorizing with day one information. Looked at C'tan shards, psyker stuff. warp entities, the betrayer and the like. xeno races that used the wrap or orb artifacts, and found a short written page of the Yu'Vath. like only a 2 minute read mentioning the Yu'Vath. A week later* Arch Warhammer: 35 minute video. The massive lore with 40k warhammer has let to seize to amaze me.

Personally... I think the Yu'Vath were a species uplifted and unwittingly serving a Chaos God, a God that rhymes with "inch", Tzeentch perhaps?

Love the videos man! keep up the good work

Yu'Vath: Let's use the warp for power! *UAC wants to know your location* *Doomslayer also wants to know your location*

I can't wait to see one mind sydicate copy paste this video...

or maybe they're part of a vex simulation or the joke of an asinine god.

I ordered your mug and I just got it today! Looks awesome

My personal head cannon has always been that they predated the demons and chaos gods. That they developed their tech before the demons and that they then left the galaxy when demons started appearing. When they finally learned how to harness daemons, and probably because of the Zerg rush that was happening around them at the edges of the galaxy then ended up reentering the galaxy. Needless to say, I don't think they were killed off entirely, at least not yet.

Shiny space baubles.

17:24 -- The Yu'Vath "Vore-ships?" yikes

They're a little bit Necrons, a little bit Enslavers, Geiger influence thrown in for flavor....I like these guys.... they sound like a fun bunch of dudes.... Worry not, Brother, I'll get my own Heavy Flamer.

Long time fan. Thanks for doing these.

So thats where the Spaceballs went!

Awsome, I miss the other alien races

you sir, have a interesting way of describing the pros and cons of their tech as well as the race themselves

So basically an entire race of beings who have ships like Abbadon’s capital ship, and lost due to lack of size and scale of military presence.

13:37 The Imperium favorite quote id say~ and i love it ALSO L33T

7:42 he must be talking about a planet called europe. 🤔

The amount of YES I felt when seeing this pop up in my feed is indescribable!

Got my dose of Arch warhammer lore now I'm ready for the day

Arch, unfortunately the creator of astartes said that it wasn't the Yu'Vath and more a creation of himself

The You'What!?

In light of your Astartes review, this is a great follow up

Another “gosh darn” fine episode Arch.👍🏼 You sure can spin a yarn Brother 😎

Good to know that 5 Astartes got killed by a demonic Roomba.

last time i was this early i could leave the house

It's 5:47am. Do I really need to be watching more 40k lore? Yes. Emperor knows yes I do.

I know you have a lot on your plate Arch (and we appreciate the work you do), but I would love for you to do a series of lore videos on Legion Worlds. There is so little dedicated materials describing the history, culture, geography, etc. of all of the first founding worlds. For example. Macragg is one of the most important worlds in the Imperium but I still struggle to find materials about it. The only worlds I know of in any detail are Terra, Nocturne and Armageddon. It would be especially interesting to have dedicated videos about some traitor worlds like Cthonia, Culchess, and Olympia. Thanks for all the great vids!

Literal galaxy brains. I bet all they did was watch *_Richard and Mortimer._* 🎩 🐍 no step on SNEK! 🇺🇸🇭🇰

This loaded 50 sec ago. How the emperor is comments from hours ago!?

Good shit, I was hoping you would drop this video after seeing the Astartes part 5 breakdown :D

Yu'Vath tech support must be wild. Yu'Vath Network Security Operator: Hi, this is Chad, I have a problem with my firewall. It seems to be disregarding any configuration, denies any and all traffic and has grown serrated blades from it's UTP cables and is using it to bladewhip service technicians. Yu'Vath Firewall Specialist: H Chad, this is John. Okay, let me take a look. Can you give me remote console access? Yu'Vath Network Security Operator: Yeah, sure, let me just share my screen. Yu'Vath Firewall Specialist: Ah, here's the trouble. You seem to be running a Bloodthirster as an OS. You do know Bloodthirsters are not listed as compatible by the manufacturer, right? Yu'Vath Network Security Operator: Yes, yes. I am aware. Unfortunately we recently took over the network from the previous management team and just recently discovered the issue.

Thank you, Daddy Arch

I believe Nascent is pronounced Naysent. That will be all from your local Grammar Commissar

Timely as ever Arch

Oh Arch, you always deliver!

*thought to be extinct.

"North...galaxy...." Those two words don't belong in the same sentence.

I’m of the belief that they weren’t of the milky way or they are much more well hidden than we think because having only a handful of Yu’Vath able to control multiple systems of the galaxy is strange. Either they were all that’s left of the species or they weren’t the main civilization. Both explain why there were so few actual Yu’Vath in the galaxy.

Question: couldn't they be warp entities who, somehow, found a way to remain in the material universe? This would be extremely rare (akin to the pariah gene), which would explain why there are so few in numbers. It would also explain their extreme proficiency in Warp based tech and all manners of Warp based powers. Of course it's just a mere speculation, since we know very little about them.

Ah yes, the Yu'Vath. They power their machinery with pure Warp energy, their computers run with Demon Vista and their ships are basically random structures kept together by tethers of Warp energy as well. But now to the interesting things about them... ^^

I've been waiting for this video and omg the danger of this race seems immeasurable

I see Astartes 5 reinvigorated good old Arch to new hights. great vid.

I swear you and Luetin are responsible for my many sleepless nights

as if infecting your AI with Satan is bad enough.. its also an atom bomb.. i love how he started to talk normal after the little laugh (for about tree seconds) to explain how insane they were....

Maybe, as the Yu'vath have some...form of connection to the warp, their civilization exists in multiple dimensions

These videos are soo good for killing time in lockdown

Interesting thing about those "Whisperers". Doesn't that sounds a lot like the Tyrant Star? It is another phenomenon in the Calixis sector. Maybe it is just a really big Whisperer? Maybe it is a doomsday weapon that works particulary slowly and deliberately?

utilizing the warp to a great degree AND robots. Sounds like the worst nightmare of the average inquisitor. XD

I feel like you can get rule 34 out of just the imagery Arch describes.

They believed that they could do this. Thus they could. The Yu'Vath were just really good at believing.

If you start having creepy dreams and hearing whispers in the 40th millenium, who are you going to tell that wint just kill you.

Oooooh finally, after watching Astartes I wanted to know about the Yu'Vath.

Great video as always. Fight the algorithm!

thanks ar h, I wanted to know about them since part 5

"northern edges of our galaxy" Crap man i forgot my galactic compass at home
