How do Tau Orks Tyranids and Necrons Travel in Warhammer 40K 

I'd rather spend several weeks in the interstellar void than a minute in the Warp. Tau get FTL travel right.

I don't know, having only 20% of the speed sounds like a decent downside to not getting eaten alive by your nightmares. or randomly disappearing for a few centuries.

The orks just make a red button on a box and label it Lightz Sped. Punch it chewie.

Humans in the Warp: Oh blessed Emperor, protect our souls from Chaos and its minions. Orks in the Warp: Great, our onboard entertainment is here!

I always like to imagine an enormous ork ship finally clawing it's way out of a planet's atmosphere, only to have every single ork on the ship to die almost immediately by decompression

"I am your host" *inserts tyranid parasite*

Actually, it is a nice chance, the "alien spaceship" found on Tauns moon was old imperial explorator fleet scout. We know only about one faction FOR SURE, wich wisited the Tau system between their hunter-gatherer period and their first attempts for space travels, and that was imperiums scout fleet for explorators, wich marked Tau for extermination to prevent further problems, but wich extermination was delayed by warpstorm, wich rendered void travel for few milenia inoperable in the region.

QUESTION: "If an ork can believe something such as red vehicles drive faster and it happens does this mean an ork believing their leader is strong and large makes their leader even stronger and larger? Is this possibly a reason some ork warlords get so huge?"

Tau would love to get their hands on necrons tech :)

The necron FTL system sounds like a reactionless drive. You really want to be careful NOT to add these into your scifi settings because if you have reactionless drives all you have to do to destroy a planet is accelerate a missile the size of a volkswagon to .99 C and then let it hit a planet.

Tau use gravity wells, tyranids slingshot off planets gravity, necrons just float through space, and orks go through the warp. You’re welcome

This is simple. Tau use the faster than light method to travel through space. Necrons use advanced yet ancient technology to slowly advance through space. Tyranids are using the "Shadow of the Warp" power to get where they need. Orks...well, look for a "Rok" crashing on your planet made of rock and metal. 🏃🏃

Event horizon is a pretty good movie. From what I have been told that is basically what happens if you travel the warp without a shield.

Dark age of mankind should have couple of ways to travel FTL

You would think the Imperial Navigator houses would be foaming at the mouth to exterminate the Tau, because if Rouge Traders anr their merchant vessels could access interstellar travel, albeit at 1/5th the speed, without zero chance of daemons or warp predators infesting their ship, and without having to deal with a navigator house, then they would take it and leave the navigator houses bankrupt.

with super ludicrous speed

Isn't the Tau micro warp jumps very similar to how humans used to first travel long distances in the early Dark Age of Technology? I know the Adeptus Mechanicus don't touch alien tech as it's 'heretical' but couldn't the Imperium reverse engineer Tau tech to revitalize some of it's own? Or is Tau tech not mature and advanced enough to match that of humanity's tech level of the Dark Age?

The description of the Tau FTL method started reminding me of the nightfighter’s FTL method from the Xeelee Sequence

It's old lore but the Tau use an engine similar to the Craftworld's FTL (non-warp) drive. It's very old lore, as in 1st edition lore, but the Craftworlds can "slip" along what amounts to creases in space time. Its very slow compared to Warp Travel but it is a lot safer it is also faster than light. The Tau use a similar process "skimming" the immaterium. But there is some doubt as to the function of such a drive because ANYTHING that is even CLOSE to the warp is subject to demonic incursions. So in the end it is likely that the 3rd edition 40K reference to the Tau FTL drive is in fact similar to the Craftworld slip drive and that it does not deal with the Warp. It is well known there are plenty of other FTL methods in 40k but that the warp is the most expedient. The Kroot use a non-warp FTL drive as well. Necrons don't use warp travel they use Quantum Tunneling and Quantum Teleporting as well as the Webway. The Necrons are well aware of the webway, they invaded it and defeated it's creators. They keep their own "webway" in the form of the Quantum Tunnels they've made. Orks don't use geller fields. They don't need them. As explained in the 1st and 2nd edition books about Orks, the ork chant of Ere We Go is in fact a psychic focus for the Ork shared psychic field. It makes a barrier about the ship in the form of the Orks communal psychic power. The orks don't think about it that way but that is irrelevant, orks don't think about much at all except Odd Boyz who think about odd thingz. Even if demons do penetrate the ork communal field the orks don't care, that's just more fighting and dusting it up.

LOL, at 10:04 we can see a nice picture from Battlestar Galactica, where there is a cylon fleet with basestars and raiders, and a resurrection ship in the middle of it. (At 0:31 also we can see a picture of a sole cylon resurrection ship).

Tau can make Warp Catapult for their new FTL Tech and here's how the basis of this technology work: gravity in Immaterium are repulsing force(since realspace and warp are uses laws of physics like Yin and Yang) so the strength and range of Warp catapult are depends on the strength of gravity well where this tech is used Orks: they don't worry about warp entities eat them Necron Inertialess drive are invented cuz Inertia is the reason special relativity prevents anything with mass move faster than light

"How do Orkz travel through space"?Oh this is gonna be good

I do like in warhammer that some of the races using different style but similar ftl. Personally jump drives and hyperspace in other sci-fi factions are my personal favorite.

So necrons basically use the war in heaven era drives, that they developed to match the old ones.

*Spacehulk comes out of the warp* Orks: it's free estate Boyz and a free party

Orks Travel by space Hulk,Tyranids use specialized ships,tau have a variant of the warp drive that is slower,but exposes less to the warp,necrons have tech which makes their ships so light,that they travel at ftl

Question: Could Tyranids eat and consume daemons from the warp? Also, how will the new Primaris marines be incorporated into the existing chapters that have accepted them. Will they have their own company or be incorporated into the existing ones to fill in lost numbers?

The ship in your intro is actually a Cylon Resurrection Ship from Battlestar Galactica.

Im glad that tau ships are less likely to get lost in the warp as they sort of ping pong off of it. If I remember right most of humanity doesn't really know how to keep void shield equipment in proper condition and it only takes a microscopic breach to let the demons in.

Question: How do Necron portals work? (Monoliths’ and Night Scythes’ connections to tomb worlds)

Supposedly the allies of the Tau like the Demiurg and the Kroot developed their own warp tech before the Eldar which are very similar to Imperial tech using navigators and Gellar fields.

What about the Tau allies, though? They have several spacefaring allies, some of them (the Nicassar) potent Psykers. And at least some of the Gue'vasa have to have some understanding of warp travel...

The Tau have Nicassar as allies and they are powerful psykers and explorers. Then you have another highly adopted void and space-faring race the Ji'atrix.

Last time I checked, Necrons aren't Cylons

The Dark Eldar and Rak'gol would be nice to include in a potential part 2 video.

"Conventional warp travel"

Why does your voice calm me so? Also thank you for increasing my Warhammer 40k knowledge. It has been enjoyable.

Question: what would the process be if the imperium stumbled upon a world like ours, and how would it change us?

I LOVE your channel! I have a ton of fun playing 40k because of the lore & you give me 1 more way to consume 40k Tau greater goodness!

Orks know how to use warp travel... That's like saying a drowning person knows how to swim. I think they just like to go fast, falling out of the warp willy nilly, upon which they seek a waaagh

Didn't they change the Necron space travel lore in 5th ed when they added the dynasties and non-C'tan characters? Unless they changed it again, Necrons currently use Dolmen Gates to break into the webway and use that for their interstellar travel. I'm not a fan of the change but canon is canon.

I though they had decided to give Tau there own travel tech in newer fluff. Not just skimming the warp.

We Necrons just put immortals on the back of the ship and fire gauss blasters in sync to propell us at near lightspeeds.

Necrons use Domain Gates to access the Webway much like how the TAU uses the Ether to access the Warp

If the humans and tau were to join together, then absolutely noone else would be able to stand to them.

Gimme some of them Tau theories! 😀

Hasn't the necron FTL been retconned when they were redone? And they now supposedly use the webway like the Eldar.

It honestly sounds like the Tyrranid gravity manipulation is the best likely-achievable form of FTL by any race willing to do research (which is just the Tau at the moment). It's just a matter of the Tau getting any kind of opportunity to observe and measure the phenomenon and process. Bypass all the dangers of the Warp, travel more reliably but still incredibly quickly, and if you carefully target the exit point far enough outside of the system, minimal impact on either side. Maybe keep the warp-skimmers for getting into and out of system. Too bad the Imperium is so anti-learn-anything-new.

sooo necrons use the cylon resurrection ships too? XD

QUESTION: how fast is necron space travel compared to other universes like stargate and star wars. The infinite acceleration thing you mentioned in this vid reminds me of the mass relays from mass effect. If the necrons have that kind of tech with just their warships thats insta travel making it way out class web way tech in every way.

Never knew necrons could just get rid of physics.

I've been playing tyrannies ever since I started Warhammer and I didn't even know they bend space time

Warp Drive - Safe but slow. Better to arrive late than not at all. _vs_ Hyper Drive - Fast. But it's one Hell of a short cut. _vs_ Jump Drive - Instant phase shifting fun.

wait are void shields based on mantic fields or plasma. either one a railgun with a extremely magnetized slug could get threw no problem. also neurons actually aren't braking physics thats how real life warp travel works. it doesn't really take you to another plane of existence.

Question: if a pariah, physic null, kills lucuis the eternal will he/she still be taken over by lucuis? What about about a tyrinid, or an ork or any other race aside from humans?

I imagine it is the hive mind that folds space to make the distance to a planet smaller. The sensing ship sounds like what it uses to find the psychic calls from genestealer cults, (which likely the psychic beacon of humanity probably drew them to the galaxy in the first place. Somewhat of an automatic response perhaps. Perhaps normally the genestealers completely subvert a galaxy first and have a big psychic beacon when it is completely edible, thus tyranids are pretty unused to the resistance ;) they are trying to eat all the outlying systems and work in to what they think is completely occupied terra. Using "think" rather metaphorically. tyranids may be just adapted to consume planets entirely naturally ;)

I refuse to accept that Orks could cooperate long enough to do something as sophisticated as build any sort of space faring vehicle. I barely accept that they could even build mechs or other automotive armors.

Speaking of space hulks what is or was the most dangerous space hulk ever seen.

Question: how do orks work in space to build a rok? I have never heard of them having void suits and even they need oxygen and can be killed by the extreme cold of space.

Question: can fulgrim still bone? i mean if he is an accurate snake, he would be missing something......*wink** wink* or did slanesh put something extra in for him?

Whats that about the cylon resurrection ship at the beginning? lol Thx for another video, keep them going!

The tyranids cant get rid of gravety Actually the can but its mutch harder to collect floating bio mass and if they got rid of the gravitational field the tyranids would lose the atmosphere and all the micro organisms in it whitch provide the tyranids with valuable bio mass

What always surprised me is that no one ever developed a warp drive (not that one the Alcubierre version) in 40K.

I have two questions bugging me. Regarding Navigation in the Warp.As far as I know, the Imperium uses the vegetable formally known as the Emperor to make some kind of a Lighthouse in the Warp so that Ships can Navigate there.1) You whould need 3 Fixpoints in a 3D Space to pinpiont your location and derive a Vector from that. What are the Other pionts? I Suppose the Eye of Terror whould also be pretty visible. Is that used?2) What do the Other Races use to Navigate? Do they also use the Emperors Lighthouse? What did they Use bevore that?

Could you do a video on all the different necron armies?

How do Orks survive travelling through the Warp? Imperium has Navigator mutants and even the Astronomicon for navigation, and it's still risky and unpredictable. Orks have none of those, they should be dead in seconds. Or at the very least get lost.

This is it, the greatest video on RU-vid...

Sooo the necrons have a sorta hyperspace-warp field hybrid?

Honestly id rather go hitchhiking with tau than humans as they don't go balls deep into the literal mental dimension and hope the void shields hold.

very interresting, realy love ur 40k vids guys, have been a huge 40k-geek ever since stumbled upon my first book, and over 10years, uncounted miniatures and hours of reading, the lore still grabs me like barely any other sci fi universe ever did ^^

I do love WH40K lore, even if I don't play. I gotta say though that the Toblerone's, sorry Necron's obsession with pyramids makes me laugh. Its like a 40yr old who just can't let go of his childhood teddy bear.

I imagine the orcs just have a gearstick with lots of speed and then at the bottom it just says infinity for warp travel

10:08 Thats a Cylon Resurrection ship from Battlestar Galactica

What I don't get is why the Empire doesn't use the tell signs of a Tyranid invasion. The star gets manipulated that should be measurable, with that the direction of attack. So why no put some nasty mines in the most likely corridor off attack?

Tau could have used other species like human defectors to pilot their warp ships though.

question: has the t'au found some Stantdard template construct? i mean, it would be very of their interest

I've always wondered why the use of super weapons isn't for more common in 40k. Literally you have these massive targets moving through space, no one has ever thought to use the 40th century equivalent of a nuke or laser/plasma based gun? I get not fighting in the warp, but even Starwars had the common sense to put giant weapons on the planets themselves either that or a shield which they have in 40k. I mean here in 2020 we have things like railguns, they don't have some equivalently scaled up weapons?

T'au: "we can travel at the speed of light" Imperium: "cute"

*Humanity has PTSD with the damn AI, so......*

The picture at 10:10 is not Necrons, its a Cylon Fleet from Battlestar Galactica.

10:18 Isn't that a Cylon resurrection ship with a Basestar and raiders around it? :P

Suggestion : imperial battleships

Here is something I don’t get about imperium warp travel... we all know it is unsafe, even if the chance of fatal failure might be low... so why do the primarchs frequently engage in it without eventually a failed jump killing them? Plot armor?

I thought necrons had ways of breaching the webway?

Question: Eldar do not have any means of warp travel besides the web way?

I'm genuinely surprised that with all of the Angry Marines and Pretty Marines content, you still have yet to cover the most abusively powerful, overwhelmingly superior chapter ever devised by the creative playerbase... The Movie Marines. Get to it guys, the fans deserve it. ;)

Ork mechboyz make a rocket ship out of cardboard and staples, and can reach the Andromeda galaxy.

oh, I always though orks can just gather up and think real hard to believe they can travel faster than light then boom! they arrived at their destination

U would think it would be all hands on deck trying to Chinese blueprint (copy) the necrons ships. The emperor wanted to break humanities reliance on the warp and the necron apperantly had the answer

Can you actually describe the gods of Chaos, Eldar, the C'tan, old ones, and the emperor. Which groups outweigh others, which race of gods can die and how. Because I feel I heard somewhere that Chaos gods can be slain, so does that mean necrons might be able to kill Slaanesh releasing the eldar gods?

Space hulks are ancient ships in updated lore not amalgamations anymore

Wait, what causes the shadow in the warp then? Also, I recall reading in some books about nid fleets dropping out of the warp

time 2:56. "Watter caste sciencists. I would like see some, especially for the reason, water caste is comprised of buerocrates, organizators, ambasadors and (possibly) social sciences, when Earth caste does all the ingeneering AND SCIENCE for the machines goes even better, than they were before. SPACESHIPS, TANKS and ETHER DRIVES are a product of earth caste sciencists, not watter caste. Regarding the necron FTL - i heart a theory, that it is possible only because their robotic physique, thanks to which they can withstand imnense pulls and pushes onboard the ship.

could Tau and Tyranids been corrupt ? That would be sick to see reversed tau like dark eldar. Probably they will scream : For the greater EVIL 👿

I love your warhammer vids

The one thing about Necrons V Tyranids is the Necrons have the tech but the Nids have greater numbers. So I don't know if it is cut and dry Necron victory.

Imagine if the imperium got it’s hands on Star Wars tech like a hyper drive or a blaster

Necrons can time travel, literally the most powerful race

so u say the tyranids cannot get rid of gravity. How do you explain capilary towers then

So the Tyranids farts their way all over the universe? They are not from milkyway right?
