Bartender Reacts *Finally! Answers!* What is the Warhammer 40K? Timeline of 40K Lore by Bricky 

-"The age of Knowledge and Enlightenment" -😃 -"Has Ended" -aww 😐 This was a perfect reaction. ^^

27:00 Erebus is probably one of the most hated characters in Warhammer 40k. He's responsible for Horus's fall to Chaos and the Horus heresy, Erebus is so hated that even the other Chaos Followers hate Erebus.

one of the few universes where humanity's first fall from grace was not completely their fault. Kinda rare.

Bricky: casually skipped the Orks because they were "busy". The Orks Bois: *WAAAAARGH!!!*

“I wouldn’t want to live as a human in this world” You and literally every other fan of this setting is in agreement xD If you ask Star Wars fans or Star Trek fans if they’d love to be teleported into thier favourite setting, they’d leap for joy and say yes. If you ask a Warhammer fan if they would like the same, they would look at you and say “are you effing crazy??”

Erabus was one of the first influenced by Chaos, he was the Head chaplain of the Word bearer legion.....he helped to corrupt Horus and start the Horus Heresy.....

Short of it, Erebus is that guy in fiction that is in the background scheming and manipulating events while doing an evil laugh. He was a secret chaos worshiper that set himself up as an advisor while giving advice to push people to the preverbal dark side. The Emperor Palpatine of the setting in a way. 40K also has this thing where being nice is kind of a death wish. Like the psyker thing. Not burning them at the stake is the right thing to do during the Age of Strife but people that didn't do the burning are all dead because daemons invaded. Those that did survived. Even in 40k there are a lot of stories where people try to not be prejudice jerks and work with xenos or xenos work with them only to get back stabbed. Ruthless paranoia lets you live longer in that universe.

The whole situation with the warp seems like a perpetual cycle. The constant war and death feeds the warp making it more powerful and chaotic which spreads the influence of the chaos gods which leads to more war repeating the cycle over and over

I've always wondered if the Necrontier were Blanks. It would explain why the old ones weren't willing to help. simply because they couldn't. Also it used to be a thing that the necron would convert human blanks into more troops. but that's been retconed recently.

Dark age of technology. Where ships are so powerful they don't bother to fire twice they just rewind time to make sure it hits

Interesting how you talk about the Emperor not being so bad, while not liking the Imperium. This is extremely intentional, actually. The Emperor's personal bodyguards, the Custodians, have went out of their way to make it clear that they don't serve the Imperium, they only serve the Emperor. They're the Emperor's closest friends and confidants; and in their minds, there's a very clear separation between those things. Technically, they aren't even a part of the Imperium. Now, there's also evidence to suggest that the Emperor has completely lost his fucking mind in the 10,000 years he's spent channeling the souls of psychers while holding back the demons of the Warp. Even though he has no more real agency to do anything, he's now at the point where it would be unwise to restore him back to full power because his mind and personality is completely broken. But that's not his fault; it's a result of the burden he's been bearing for his beloved people and sons.

Couple other details to know: Humanity's primate ancestors were also made by the Old Ones, the War in Heaven ended when a Warp race known as the Enslavers showed up and either killed or chased off most of the Old Ones and their races, and the Emperor was born by a bunch of ancient human shamans seeing the threat of Chaos and ritualistically sacrificing themselves to make the Emperor to fight them. Oh, and the Orks were once the Krorks and were, at minimum, 12 metres tall*. Yes, Metres. But (supposedly) a lack of good fighting de-evolved them. *For context, a Warboss that was at least 10 metres tall was powerful enough to lead a Waaagh! that almost destroyed the entire Imperium. They even managed to invade Terra. Have fun!

Funny bit of lore on Warhammer 40k, The Emperor of Mankind knew of the Chaos gods because he had dealt with them on occasion, and in fact is where he gained the knowledge of how to create his Primarchs and the Space Marine Legions. The Emperor of Mankind wanted to base the galaxy upon Reason and Logic, which is why he massacred anyone with religious fervor, the reason being is that the Chaos Gods fed on such Religious and emotional aspects. The idea was that a Galaxy ruled by Logic and Reason would starve the Chaos Gods of the emotions and such they fed upon.

All shall be consumed eventually. Except Erebus. He will suffer for eternity. -Tyranid hivemind

8:25 Lauren: *says how the Necrons' method of killing a god is similar to Egypt myhtology method* Me: "Well to be fair the Necrons are quite literally terminator mummies so... yeah." (Also, poor Osiris lost his dick to a fish 😂)

21:13 That movie is called "Alive" and it's about a soccer team that crashes their plane in the mountains and the survivors turn to cannibalism to stay alive.

Tzeentch is my favorite chaos god too :) But my heart beat for the Imperium of Man while i am on my journey through galaxy to burn all demons because being one of the Grey Knights.

The Emperor is not a fluffy kitten either. Yes, he was trying to advance humanity, save it from extinction. However, he was UTTERLY ruthless the second you refused to obey him, and saw EVERYONE and EVERYTHING as tools and means to an end. So much so, that I really question, why would a person with zero empathy to human beings care at all about survival of their species as a whole? Like, why even bother if you give precisely zero point zero zero fluffs about humans? I have no answer to that question.

Bricky's vids are great. I love the 1000 Sons. *Magic Dust Laugh Coughing Noises*

Short time line on 40k. 30th millenium, Unification Wars on Earth. The Great Crusade followed by the Horus Heresy. The 32nd millenium, the Rise of the Beast & the return & loss of Vulkan. 35th/36th millenium, age of Apostasy. Renegade Cardinal Buccaris launches his false crusade. 39th millenium, 3 major happenings. Arrival of tyranids, awakening of Necrons & rise of the Tau Empire. There you go.

12:10 This probably isn’t all that surprising, but Nurgle actually created a zombie plague. They’re called poxwalkers and they are actually a unit you can have in the game. There’s also the video game Darktide that is basically Left 4 Dead in Warhammer.

The great thing about Warhammer is that not even death can be an escape from the horrors of the far future. Because guess where your immortal soul goes to when you die? The Warp. Where the insanity and monsters of everything chaos will chew you up and convert you into some new horror. So fight. Fight as long and hard as you can, for there is no rest in death. Glory to the Emperor.

America and other countries on earth are technically part of Warhammer lore, some of the techno-barbarian tribes the Emperor defeated were: Merica (America), Franc (France), old Albia (Britain) including many others

I am not sure, if they are good reaction videos, but my current favoritt 40K lore videos, are the "Attenborough Lore" videos. And they are about most of it, including a number of Ork videos.

Iron warriors are were its at. Don’t follow any of the gods. Cut off warp mutations. Carried the heresy on its back. And gave two huge middle fingers to Dorn and his banana boys before going along their merry way

the description of the imperium near the end there isnt entirely accurate. its accurate for some places, but the imperium spans countless worlds, all of which have different cultures. living on terra would be like living in the vatican, or in mecca, but theres plenty of planets that are more laid back. still got rules to follow, but not nearly as strictly as some others. the imperium is very diverse is what im saying

9:00: Miss bartender exposes the whole Necron mythos as the Egyptians that they look like, lol. EDIT: Girl, you need to play a Thousand Sons army; they are the chaos marines that follow Tzeentch and have sorcerers. Their aesthetic is also Egyptian. :-D

Maybe being a chaos magnetic just makes you a powerful psyker.

try the "40k timeline explained by trazyn" gives a real overseight of the 40k timeline, not with the focus on the imperium the imperium as such is a relative new thing compared to the 40k timeline as such sure the imperial sight is very dominating, but they are "just" one of many factions living in 40k so the "timeline explained from trazyn" gives a quite neutral overseigt, mentioning the most major fractions and how the actual fit in the greater picture of 40k

When it comes to shortcuts, you can use J/L to skip 10s back/forward instead of the arrow keys (which are 5s). Then you won't have to worry about skipping to the beginning or accidentally changing the volume instead et cetera.

The Guile theme really does go with everything though

21:10 he is referencing a movie that depicted a real life event where a private plane with a national rugby team from south america crash landed in the mountains of Peru. They had to resort to canibalism of the people that died in the crash to survive.

Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!

ORK BOYYYSSSSS WAARRRGHHHH

Such a Legendary guy to go to learn about Warhammer 40k.

Lauren + Bricky + Warhammer? COUNT ME IN!

Bricky got the order wrong. After the cybernetic revolt, where humanity was almost destroyed by it's own A.I., the increasing depravity of the Eldar is what made The Warp too dangerous to travel. The birth of Slaanesh is what marked the end of The Age of Strife as her formation absorbed a great deal of the excess energy that made The Warp so turbulent.

For Erebus and his involvement in the Heresy watch Janovich's Horus Heresy Series. It is very detailed.

Such heresy wounds me to my core....

This 40k Lore is great and a very great overall explanation. I would also highly! highly! recommend Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer in particular (DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG LEAGUE OF LORE EPISODE 1) It is a longer story form video but it will redefine your knowledge, love, and understanding of the death core and their tragic but glorious dedication to the Emperor by penitence of perceived sin.

If you're an actor you'd probably enjoy the tabletop RPG Wrath & Glory

I don't know if anyone else commented this, but to give an idea of what Erebus is like (This is shortened and simplified). As a child, he wasn't the greatest son. One day his parents told him, "Why can't you be more like Erebus?" So he decided to. By murdering Erebus, changing his appearance so that he looked like him, and renamed himself Erebus.

I felt like checkin out a 40k video today, and here's Lauren 👍

The women on the 6pack I would be scared she would snap it 😂. A nother brill vid all ways make my day when you make a vid

"This woman there Inquisitor, yes!"

Being part of chaos is worse than the Imperium

You like the trickster gods? Have you heard of Cegorach? Evil? clown laugh!

Oldman Reacts has some 5ish minute lore videos in characters including Erebus (Fuck Erebus) but goes deeper into it in his Mistakes of the Emperor series.

Aaaaah I see she is a fellow Tzeenchian... marvelous!

The emperor has eaten nearly 4 billion souls.😮

Golden Throne is located in the Himalayas

30:24 Allright guys, bring the flamer.....THE HEAVY. FLAMER.))))))

25:27 Hydra Dominatus

she hasnt realised nurgle is also naked

In sunday school, I played a weed in a play about plants. When the kids at school heard and tried to tease me about it, I pointed out that I was playing the bad guy. Shut them right up.

That's 3.652 billion psyker meals over 10k years for those who need the math done.

9:40 Sounds like Tyler/Wildcat lmao

The problem is you might not die immediately, uou might be put on the penitent engine, or lobotomized to be a servitor or your souls falls into the warp to be toyed by demons 😱

Yes Inquisitor, this is the video.

Hallo Leude, wie geht's euch so an diesem schönen Freitag?

Not all worlds are hive worlds . Some are really nice

The Emperor was born in Anatolia modern day Turky in the Year 5.000 bc

25:27 ....this part likely flew over your head.... those flickering images are of Alpharius and/or Omegon. Twin primarchs of the 20th, the Alpha Legion (...so there were actualy 21 primarchs). Alpharius might have actualy been the first primarch to be discovered, or never taken in the first place. 20th legion is all about deception. Even the fact that it had two primarchs instead of one was a secret. Officialy the last legion to be fully formed and reunited with their primarch, it operated long time before that under falls flags. Officialy a traitor legion, but their allegience is unknown. Every member shaped to be a mirror image of their primarch, or friend/foe they are impersonating. Multi-headed snake of sleeper cells, disconected warbands and hidden operatives entangeling the galaxy with its scales beyond counting. I am Alpharius and this is a lie H̵͈̯͖̼̒͝Y̵͎͍̩̤̪̾Ḑ̶̢̛̲̾̐̅R̶̰̠̿Ą̸̯͖̜͑͐̎ ̶͉͖̟͚̄͋́D̷̞̳̥̙͝O̴̢̪̤̦͒M̵̠̓̈́İ̵̡̻̐͗N̸̟͙̋A̴̲̩͕͎̒́͆̌͜T̶̯͊U̷̖̲̝̝͑̓͛̾̅͜S̸̠̑

Yes Inquisitor, this video here!

And the T'au ?

If you simply just turned around and said I don’t like the emperor you wouldn’t die quick probably be made a servitor which is one of the worse situations to be in in the imperium and this is a culture that normalises gelding

Wait! what!? Nurgle is Genshin Impact ahaha wth was that about? LOL!

If you don't like the empire as it is in 40k, then you are in good company, neither does the emperor haha

warhammer 40k is great c:

Erebus' deal, in short, is that he was a servant of Chaos who told Horus that in the future, The Emperor would be worshiped as a god, humanity would abandon all of the principles of the Great Crusade, and the Imperium would fall to ruin. Which was all true, but Erebus twisted the facts to make it sound like that was what the Emperor wanted, as though the Emperor would betray his own principles. Instead, by trying to prevent that horrible future, Horus guaranteed it would occur. Unsurprisingly, no one likes Erebus very much.

Go for it home chik😢😮😊

To be fair, the Emps was trying to ensure the survival of Humanity. He was playing the game for the species. He hated everything the current Imperium is now. He was against dogma and religion and opression. He wanted to give humanity a chance to grow and thrive. Erebus, through Horus, ruined that all.

Ofcourse I hate xenos. Have you seen how scary they are? My brother in the Emperor, you killed all the nonscary ones!

Hi Lauren, another recommendation would be 'The Meme Guide to Every Warhammer 40k Faction' by Auspex Tactics - hilarious and oddly mostly true.

LORE!

Cute im reporting to the nearest inquisitor 👿😂

One thing that is sort of important to add to the Eldar debauchery is that death was not as big a deal as we think of it being. At the time of the eldar empire the eldar where capable of rebirth. So death was "just another experience" an extreme one to be sure but the eldar psyche is strong enough to stay conscious in the warp until rebirth thus killing is less of an issue they also had technology to regenerate a body so a killed eldar could essentially be reborn in it's old body. The Dark eldar still use this technology.

Right off the bat, big muscley women on cups.

WWWAAAGGGHHH!!!!

Emperor propaganda? Yes Mr Inquisitor, this way

OR, you would be lobotomized, mind wiped and disected and be turned into a half cyborg slave to serve Humanity for such heresy. Aptly named, a servitor. With high chance that the mind wiping would not be completely succesful and thus your mind would fall into relapse. While in your zombie like state, half cyborg body doing chores for the citizens of the Imperium, you would have a small speck of memory of your previous life as a human, mumbling to yourself and recalling your final horrible moments before the surgery and then, returning to your routine protocol that you were assigned to. All that for the rest of eternity or until you fall into disrepair.

Babe, take some daily Zinc and L-Lysine. Might help you clear things up. Good for prevention too...

in christian belief the christian god was the weakest of all its borther gods, but he was patient and sneaky and eventually killed the other gods

It’s all imperial propaganda, but still a good video

You hope they kill you lol it could be worse, like being a servitor

Blood for the blood god skulls for the skull throne for khorne 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿

i honestly would love to serve and die for the God Emperor of Mankind .

You only think these are answers ... Lore that is allowed to exist by the imperium is already by definition pro imperium.

The Gamersupps thing made me think about how I don't like Warhammer because it's full of tacky, sexy fanservice. I like it because its really not. Its refreshingly ugly and gritty. Like the real world. But worse. Its like the feel of heavy metal music made into a sci-fi universe.

30:08 Sci Fi fans are almost universal that living in the WH40k universe would pretty much suck. Star Wars? Oh neat, space magic and star fighters. Neat. I'm down. Star Trek? Oh neat, large starships and the Federation. Neat. I'm down. Warhammer 40k? Hell is real and humanity is reduced to a theocratic totalitarian nightmare? NOPE.

Let's see... The Changer of Ways, His adherents and the ones that are not his adherents get messed with. One time Birdboy found a random hole in the warp and casually decided to throw one of his demons into it to see what happens. As for you, you only like him because of a small genetic mutation in your genes 15 generations ago. Just a single switch that would lead you to be more accepting of his influence. From there he'll use you as a conduit to ensure everyone understands Magnus did nothing wrong, because he didn't or did he? Which will lead to another fight that causes one person to get butt hurt that leads this person to commit to studying astrophysics which leads to a person designing the first reuseable craft that will allow us to reach Mars. That's good right? Wrong! Why? Well that's a spoiler, and aren't you a jerk for thinking like that? Are you seriously thinking I just stopped making up random stuff? Not at all that is how the glorious Changer of Ways works! By the way, he told me to write all of that. "Hi!" In the end everything goes just as planned, except when it doesn't but in fact it was as planned because I planned for that plan to fail in order to propogate my next big scheme. What is the difference between a scheme and a plan anyway? Why am I wasting so much time typing this? What is time anyway? *BLAM*

F@$% Erebus

tolkien didnt create that idea of elves. Like all things tolkien they were drawn from british myths, namely the tuatha de denaan Bricky gets soooo much wrong but hes funny so its ok. Though the bit about commoragh is particularly egregious. The dark eldarbwere created after the fall of the eldar and commoragh was mostly protected from the warp being a small webway port at the time, its vect that turned commoragh into what it is and he was a child survivor of the fall having seen it first hand. Also the imperium is not fascist i dont know where this idea comes from. It seems people are confusing uniforms with ideology. The imperium is actually an extremely hands off empire allowing most planets to live however they choose. As long as they pay theor taxes and worship the emepror as state religion. The other thing is this everyone is the bad giy thing is so wrong. Everyone is what you want them to be would be a better way of saying it EVERY race has a good justification for what it does whilst simultaneously commiting horrendous acts, everyone can be the bad guy OR THE GOOD GUY depending on your tastes. Everyone is the bad guy is just an edgelord take imho

I am so attracted to her❤

Chaos was always cooler anyway.

Tzeentch has to be a woman, as much as (s)he loves to create drama and never really gives an answer!!

Welcome normies

You're so pretty, tell us what's your IG? 😍

Ah yes, Bricky explaining the lore while making several mistakes because he didn't do research, classic

It's painful to watch Bricky's videos because he arrogantly spills his personal bias to the unsuspecting viewers, even in this video he has misconceptions, misrepresentations and factual mistakes. This means that people who learns wh40k from him will have all of those in place before they can or will to research the topics on their own. For example, the biggest red flag of a trash wh40k youtuber is stating that every faction is bad (or even worse - evil), because it's far not that simple - some factions are evil indeed and commit atrocities for the sake of it, some factions are messed up and have to do horrible things at a grand scale in order to prevent things that are million times worse, and some factions couldn't even be morally evaluated since they don't have that concept and driven by a single purpose of their nature. Hell, even the concept of being human is described wrong - some people live and die on the worlds where war is going on for generations, some live on a death worlds where their existence is miserable already without any outside threats, and some live on the civilised worlds that haven't seen any wars for millennia with a decent quality of life, and even on a hive world your life could be very different depending on what level you live on, and the inhabitants of the top ones really have nothing to complain about. Humanity lives, works, travels, trades between the stars, have entertainment, art, resorts for their leasure, for most of the million worlds war is somwhere out there and their everyday routine is not that different from today's earth, adjusted by local planet conditions and customs, and it's for their good billions of other people from less lucky worlds fight and die every day, holding off against the horrors of the galaxy that has already brought the whole species from their peak to the brink. Military might be brutal and extremely prejudicted, but there's no way around as they can't take their chances at anything that has a slightest chance to bite them in the ass later since even the weakest enemy can occasionally get their hands on something that could do an irreparable damage; inquisition might be ruthless, but even the slightest chimes missed might result in a whole worlds or even sectors lost in no time; ecclesiarchy might look superficial, oppressive and outright treasonous towards Emperor's ideals, but without it Emperor wouldn't have made it that far, effectively becoming a humanity's own warp god by prayers of trillions, being not only able to guide Astronimicon (which is supported by a choir of a specially selected and trained psykers who are willingly making that sacrifice), but to intervene and manifest himself throughout the galaxy to help his people in a crucial moments, ultimately being able to begin recollecting his conscience after the Great Rift was opened, and if he was left to die instead, the whole human race would've been doomed, probably along with all the life in the galaxy in general, since without such power that were able to fend off most of the threats at the same time (and feeding Chaos with its mere presence) that would've basically ended up with Necron vs Tyranid. It's not a bad guy vibe that makes wh40k unique and compelling, it's nuance and ambiguity of every faction and character in such a vast and grandeur universe.
