From the moment Wes understood the weakness of his flesh, it disgusted him. He craved the strength and certainty of steel. He aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.

Headcanon: all the forgeworlds have varied colourschemes, but only in the ultraviolet and infared spectrums, so that you can't see them without optic enhancements

I'd love to see a similar video about the different sept worlds of the Tau, one of the most overlooked parts of the lore by both the fans and GW

You've got what my grandfather called a "Cavalry Body". Because in the Horse Cavalry a tall torso gives you more shock and reach with a saber, but long legs are a hindrance on horseback, making it hard to rise in the saddle to deliver overhand cuts, and generally are awkward in both the gallop and the trot, due to longer stirrups. He told me this when I was a kid and he was teaching me to ride a horse, because I'm the opposite of you, shorter torso and long legs and I had gotten discouraged while learning to ride at a trot because it was just exhausting. Just thought you might think that was cool

Dude, I love how you make your lore videos. I love lore, but your videos are unlike the large majority and I absolutely love it.

I wrote my own Forge World for an Only War campaign I played in for a bit. Vulcan’s Bounty was a II Primus grade forge world that apecialized in Las Weaponry and had a traditional view on innovation. It was burned to the ground by the Word Bearers and the imperial Guard regiment is a broken people that are slowly dying out.

This raises an interesting question, how many Forge Worlds does AdMech have taking into account that the Imperium has around 1 million planets?

I always look forward for the lore covering Adeptus Mechanicus. They are my favorite fraction in wh40k and today is a good day to hear about blessed planets of the Omnisaiah faithful servants. All hail to the machine god.

The flesh is weak, but my love for 40k lore is eternal

I just realized that if a tech priest figured out how to make STC they could add any tech they wanted and have it be accepted.

I wonder if the local mechanics count as the Ineptus Mechanicus

Kind of funny to pump up Forge World Graia so much and not mention that it was saved twice by a single Ultramarine. And is currently now known for really mid autoguns.

The only forge worlds I knew from this video beforehand were Mars, Graia (from the Spacemarine game) and Ryza (from the Titanic defense of Ryza video from Luetin09)

I would love you to do a video about unique chaos cults/chaos space marines warband ^^. Thanks for the great content as always, Wes.

I would love to see a video of the notable human and xenos alliances that have occurred. Like the Tanith working with the Eldar or Cain working with Tau against a Genestealer cult.

id love to hear more about the various Astra Militarum/Imperial Guard units, in particular the old ones they don't make minis for anymore like the Praetorian, Mordian Iron Guard, Tallarn, etc.

"The Ever Staring Cyclops" and "Furnace of Shackled Stars" are such metal titles (Pun intended). Great vid, really want more Admech stuff if you need the excuse Also, I desperately want some of those tank sized tech priests in tabletop. I like Kastelans and Dunecrawlers as much as the next guy, but I would love to field something like the magos on the 10th ed codex

Honestly these are the best types of deep dives, not the same repetitive generalised overview, but an actual inlook at their methodologies Personally, I'd love more - if there was enough time in the day I'd ask for many many more diving slightly more in depth, such as perhaps 2 or 3 forge worlds but a minor story time regarding them in a video

Great video and i have to say Lucius has always been my favorite Forge World. Behind them i don't know if i have a number 2.

I really like the longer episodes. Perfect for getting sleepy to or a train ride home.

Can Weshammer do a video about Bruva Alfabusa and TTS? It would be funny for him to discuss the Fabulous Custodes.

Mechanicus needs more models with spider legs! You can always see just a swarm of legs underneath the robes of Belisarius cawl as well as some of the other tech priests like the Dominus. I want to see a combat unit, either an infantry unit, or a combat walker with more spider legs! The Dune crawlers, so cool! Mechanicus has such a unique feel, I want to see more of the quirky creepy unit that give such flavor to the army

Ive made a custom forge world called plagos, the sunken shrine. They have green and brown robes with bronze armour. Their unique quirk is that there forges are all underwater, and the planets oceans cool there engine's

Perfect timing! Starting to build my first army, and pretty much immediately gravitated towards the mechanicus, but had no idea how to really make them unique. I had no idea there were so many forge worlds! I'll probably watch this video a few times to decide which one I really want to model after, or maybe i'll take some inspiration and create my own forge world.

Definitely Rysa, my personal forces require me to be building and productive, I would be absolutely devastated were I to be stuck in a situation where I was disallowed to build novel designs.

Great vid Wes, I always love hearing about the Mechanicus. I don't care what you cover next, I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Omnisiah, how I LOVE these videos! The Adeptus Mechanicus is one of, if not, my FAVORITE faction EVER! Your lore videos are AMAZING! Out of all the forge worlds, Stygies 8 is also my favorite one! I would like to see a lore video on the Iron Hands. Since the Mechanicus and the Iron Hands are about the flesh is weak! Anyway, nice job 👍!

Would love for you to do a deep dive into the Grey Knights. Going through Their origins, name characters the brotherhoods there's just so much to the faction. I know you touched on it in your shorts but a deep dive would be Epic!! Thanks again for all your hard work you rock 🤘

I hope we one day get to see an Adeptus Mechanicus centric CRPG. I love Rogue Trader and I hope it might open the door to more rpgs in the 40k Universe. Flying around uncovering warp routes, scanning planets, and so on, made me sometimes dream of doing something similar just as a part of the Explorator Fleet. Uncovering Archeotech and fighting Heretek in the name of the Omnissiah.

I like how i watched weshammer shorts on YT not even that long ago. then the community just let him cook, and next thing you know hes got merch and long form vids with quality content. Im happy for him:). Not that long ago this man wasnt even top 20 WH40K youtubers and now hes easily top 3 in growth and overall on top of the food chain. LET HIM COOK!

Perfect vid to watch while doing school work :D!! And rewatch at home when I can use Wi-Fi worth a damn :P

Honorable mention for Orestes Prime, from the novel Titanicus. Its a youngish hive world that has an honest to Emperor Titan repair facility who's bays are built vertically into a dead volcanoe and acessed by walking up TITAN SIZED STAIRS. The Mechanicus and the Legio had a heavy presence in the captial hive that surrounded the facility. In the novel it gets invaded by a chaos Legio and theres an engine war, and efforts of the locL mechanicus to get the upper hand result in heresy. Its juat such a good book

Adeptus Mechanicus were already my favourite faction in 40k. But Dyson Spheres and world stripping Halo-Machines? HOLY MOLY! My Favourite here is Metalica.

More spoopy stories! :3 Like Cast a hungry Shadow.

I appreciate the transitions between factions in your script 👌

It is my dream that one day GW will release a full encyclopedia dedicating to describing places of the Galaxy of 40k. Name dropping important planets, space stations, space landscapes, maps of towns, geography details, forge worlds, space marine homeworlds...

Loved this. Your content is always a pleasure to watch and listen to.

I'd really like to know your take on Constantine Valdor : what he was, what he did, what was his place, what he thought and what he is doing right now among other things.

Once more, excellently digestible info. Plenty of new lore even for a long time 40K fan! Visual aid choices are spot on too!

Though only one truth prevails in the Mechanicus order: *nobody skips Toaster-f*cking day.*

I haven't came so fast to a WesHammer video since he got that handsome haircut

Wes this was a great lore video, will this become the start of a series of each races subfactons?

I would appreciate it if you made more videos on the Mechanicus, it would also be nice if they were longer too.

Excellent depth on the research 👏

Forgeworld Metallica also has a thriving rock-and-roll scene.

I agree with you. The Martians hide behind machines, but dig little and they are more human than most. Great video thank you for your hard work. It really does pay off 💯❤️🤖

You should cover the various Ordinatus, they are one of the most powerful weapons of the Mechanicus, they are even rarer than the emperor class titans.

You manage to convey excitement but your voice is still calming and you go in such detail even veterans can enjoy so much. The octet bless you!

Would love to see a video about the unique weapons of the mechanicus.

Another fantastic video ^^ I know Xana II became Dark Mechanicus and we're still waiting to get more lore on them, but can't say I wasn't hoping for it to have a little mention here. Next time!

Im so glad you made this. I didnt even know there was lore for separate forge worlds. Dont let content arguments get you down, yours is novel

Ryza because when so much of the mechanicum was divided or faced treachery they rallied the loyalists and held the line against the Warmaster. Also Crucius is my favorite titan legio.

PLEASE do Guardsmen faction next, the rest are so underrated and under talked about it’s just crazy considering how cool they are, when we hear Guardsmen it’s always just “Cadia STAND!” or “The Commissar will probably get killed from trying to hold you back from death charging into the enemy line rather than them executing others” which for the latter is not even always the case, as evidenced by Vraks.

Wes, my greatest hope is that you make an Adeptus Arbites video deep dive. Keep up the great work

Yay, new Weshammer video!

Awesome video! Tons of great lore I had no clue about

I used to imagine each Forge World aligned with a sector/Chapter, each one in the DAOT a capital their empire now sector was built around

Ryza remains my favorite of the forge worlds as a result of the Battle of Ryza in the horus heresy, if you take time to read about how that went.

Great video thank you please keep up your great work

Great material. Thanks man.

Would love to see a video on the Emperor’s Spears!

I've been praying for an upload Thanks mate this faction is one of the more interesting ones in my opinion anyway 👍🙏

I'd love to see a vid on the Lathe worlds Hadd Het and Hesh, since they're some of the coolest forgeworlds in the setting :)

Good to see you again Wes. Be safe this holiday season and make sure to take Santa's mojito when he hits Clearwater lol 😆

Hey man hope the spooky nights were good and it's good to hear that awesome voice again.

Thanks for the video!

Heya Wes. Got to agree with you. Love the Stygese 8 Mechanicus. They sound really cool and I wish more of the Imperium would embrace the Xenos tech. Especially the Aeldari stuff :)

Metalica is my favorite forge world. I attached to them because of the white, red and black but when I found out they absolutely abhor flesh and have a literal metal planet I loved them. I’m not even an AdMech fan

Ok.... The Crown of Miracles/Grand Crown(not sure, this is my first exposure to it) has to be the coolest most terrifying(for primitive species, or real humanity right now) concept I have seen in sci-fi for a long time

I've been pretty deep into collecting space marines since I started playing when I was 12, but if I were to only get into 40k now, the mechanicus are my ideal image of grim dark and would definitely be my go to army

i am also all torso, i wish you had mentioned that you shirts are good for ppl like us!!

You da man, Wes. Please keep making content.

Weshammer being the most informative WH40k lore guy. I go to A Vox in the Void for stories, Wes for lore and ebjoy them both immensely.

Thank you so much for your content I really like it. I especially enjoy your deep dives such as these. My request from the dj is please make a video on Caiphus Cain. He’s the best and he fights fkn everyone

Awesome deep dive, Wes. Mechanicus are my favorite faction.

All surprisingly unique. I actually did not expect that. I would like to see the survivors of that last world that got wrecked by the tyranids, to colonize a new world and focus exclusively on combating the tyranids in the future

Little disappointed that you didn't cover Lathe-Het, Lathe-Hesh, and Lathe-Hadd. Still, top quality vid as always Wes.

I'm surprised this video is only 30 mins long, this seems like a topic that could have easily been an hour long video.

I liked those sukers from Gryphonne IV. It is like the Eldar. Wanderers in space. Would like to know more about this loss to the Hive Tjx

First Wes video. Definitely slaps. Props my guy.

A good time to brush up on Forge World lore since I plan to make a Forge World Crime Lord Warrior/Arch Militant character for my more personal story focus playthrough for Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader.

Im surprised there isnt a branch of the mechanicus that try to maintain the human form, but stuff it with as much metal as possible Afterall, its easy to say a 10ft tall, 6 armed behemoth of a techpriest is superior to a human But human shaped and sized human that hits as hard as an ogryn, is as smart as a supercomputer, fast as an astartes or whatever else is proof of thr superiority of metal over flesh

Slap me with that Mechadendrite knowledge Wes... I need it.

I would love to see a video on the chaos/loyalist space marine chapters/war bands that are as large as a legion

Okay dude, I remember shitting on your video style like a year or two ago, and honestly you've become one of my favorite Warhammer youtube channels

Can you make vid deep dive about the assassin temples ALL of them

A video on the Dragon Warriors and other little known Chaos marines would be awesome.

I'd love a video about the named Orks, besides Ghazghkull Thraka!

I would love to see a video on the Dark Mechanicum or even just the Obliterator Virus

My favorite custom faction ive ever made is a combination of Deimos and Lucius. A ragtag group of tech-priests got separated from the Imperium during the Horus Hersey, and after "playing factorio" with what few servitors they had left on a distant world, they eventually created a Dyson Sphere around the blue dwarf of the solar system they found themselves in. Capable of physically traveling through space on its own continental sized engines and having been rigged to be a x10 death-star laser, it is able to fire into the heart of chaos-tears in space and close them shut like a heated knife searing a gaping wound closed. Home to a great host of Thallax Legions hidden deep within mechanical vaults, master crafted and perfected to make them as loyal and mentally steadfast as Astartes Dreadnoughts. They act as the foot soldiers and guardians of one of the mightiest Titans ever created, the Morte Scorpione. An ungodly sized Titan modeled after ancient beasts of the world the tech priests first crashed on 10,000 years ago. Said to stand an entire head taller than Abominatus, and even claimed to have fought the cursed machine and beaten it in combat thousands of years ago, it now sits in the center of the largest mechanical bay being repaired for the past 4,000 years, its eyes still ever watchful and peering out into space with a burning vengeance. It is said that its machine spirit is the one who aims and shoots the great vengeance laser, actively seeking out chaos-tears and incursions in the night sky, looking for any fetid trace of Abominatus to send its disgusting hide into oblivion for the last time. Their existence is barely even known by Mars, only ever hinted at in ledgers by explorers of Triplex Phall or Deimos who happen across them in their travels near chaos space. Tales and stories of techpriests witnessing the void of space lighting up like a Sun rising over a planets horizon, blotting out every star in the sky like a solar system sized meltagun, a great silver blue beam shooting out into the multicolored tendrils of chaos space and burning it away in its entirety, leaving behind a crackling web of "inter-dimensional scar tissue" in spacetime. lord knows ill never actually have the models for it.. but you know.. a techpriest can dream cant he? a techpriest can dream..

Graia:"I do not believe in your existence" Enemy:"Ah, I see your logic. Nothing I can do now. Guess I'll have to turn back" 😂

Death world lore!!! Also as a man named Wes who’s 6’2 with 32 inch legs, i really feel being all torso, that ad hit home

I was hoping we could see some info on The Lathe Worlds in the Calixis Sector

True Mechanicum > Adeptus Mechanicus. Give us those beautiful Hereteks with necron gear and unspeakable mechanical horrors, GW.

I could literally kiss you right now Wes, that’s how happy I am

heya wes, is there anything you can cover on the confuit war, or a more specialised video on the electropriest and corporskarii

"I'm all torso baby" 😂 love it

I'd love to hear about some of the more obscure wars that ended up being incredibly important. Like, stuff you don't normally hear about.

Also Lucius supplies my favorite guard, regiment, Death Korps of Krieg.
