Are you going to be ok? Is it serious?

Hope u get well soon daddy

If I look... gnarly chest infection." Mortarion, after Typhus took the Death Guard into the Warp and infected it

@@davkav2468 not serious just a pain in the ass, had to edit out like 30 coughing fits for this one

great times

yeah becasue "Spoice travelz boorin"

Have you heard the tale of Tuska Daemonkilla?

Ok I'm getting heavy weshammer vibes from this comment

@@jabzbubz3046 lol I literally just watched that short again before watching this video. It’s def WesHammer vibes

Space hulk: the movie

@Atman Gotango The film is not set in 40k. I don't know so many people thing like that? Show mw some source to prove it.

You'd think people would be up for that as it blends in with the theme of 40k.

@@Tacoguy1000 The problem is, it feels like an edgy arsepull 20 years later. Well after it was established psykers appeared thousands of years after warp travel began. Also, psykers are very rare, and extremely controlled. How can galactic commerce exist if every warp capable ship needs a supply of spare psykers to use as batteries? It just does not make any sense.

@@charly03090309 From a logical standpoint, I totally see why it's so stupid to put this in out of nowhere. But, from a setting's perspective, I don't know, with 40k being a pit of misery and constant suffering, I thought people wouldn't have any issue with this considering all the other goofy grim stuff like a penitance machine and the sort.

@@Tacoguy1000 Goes to show that you can't just use `cause it'll be grimdark` for everything. More so when it conflicts heavily with well established lore, and besides...warp travel is already grim enough so it just like adding more spice to an already very spicy meal. You just kinda ruining it at that point. Those Gellar Fields get fucky at times anyway, not like they have a perfect 100% success rate anyway. Sides more interesting when the ancient very advanced tech that is keeping you alive starts to fail, than the fact your psychic meat nugget of a battery needs to be changed out at the worse time.

Speaking of, I don't know the lore THAT well but, why aren't gellar fields used against demons in real world? If there is a demon invasion, why aren't gellar fields used against demons, not just on ships but planets?

is that the realm the dark eldar mandrakes pass through?

Probably also where the cythor fiends live as well

@@TheKlink it's exclusive only to necrons, and even they don't fully understand it, so I doubt it's the same thing

@@shell_of_myself All of sudden I'm getting flashbacks to Majorkills "Ghoul Stars" video and his theory about a third dimension with non-warp gods possibly within it.

@@TheKlink That would be Aelindrach.

When I read twice dead king they were shown to be able to travel across a large portion of the galaxy over a few weeks, would probably take a year or just above if they were travelling from one end to the other albeit this was when they accessed the same dimension flayed once squirm in

I heard at least some Necrons can use the Webway

Are you talking about the inertialless drive or the phasing?

​@@woulfhoundinertialess drives by the description.

@@nil981 well that doesn't make sense if takes years for them to reach there destination. The inertialess drive should let them get there instantly.

"Hell is but a word. The reality is far, far worse."

One of my favourite lines. Q

"I am home"

"Where we're going, we don't need eyes to see"

One of the best Movies of all time

i love that book

This seems like the best explanation until the next retcon comes out; different methods for different purposes.

@@BlemmiganGallivanter I also (like Majorkill) didn’t account for the Ghostwind as it doesn’t seem to be commonly used outside of Flayed Ones

Battlefleet Gothic 2 also shows Necrons using both Inertialess Drives (replacing full ahead and acts the same way as the micro Warp jump but a lot faster and shorter range ) and Dolmen Gates

ERE WE GO ERE WE GO ERE WE GO

It’s the orks galaxy we just live in it

orks never lose, death in battle is a victory in itself

So basically, it's just a win-win for the orks. If they make it through, they reach the intended fight. If they don't make it through, who cares, because these spikey gitz look like they know what's good.

Remember the feeling on the first visit to a amusement park, that’s how Orks feel when they’re about warp travel.

100%

Ok, but still is not my friend. No source or links to prove the connection. Only the main plot in the movie about spaceships accidentally travel through demonstrations and one of these is the hell. Yes is just like in 40k, but just the same plot. This is like to say Warhammer Fantasy is in one Universe it WoW, becasuse in the both have elves, orks, dwarfs, udeads, demons and magic. Its like to say all movies with vampires( for example) are set in one Universe because in all toy have vampires.

@@vencislavgynev8282 🤓

@@vencislavgynev8282 the creators of the movie stated that they were big fans of the game and based it on the game. im sure you can find it somewhere

Domination of Necrons! As it should be. Glory for the Infinite Empire!

So anytime you are fighting with Orcs you are risking a runaway feedback effect. You fight against a small tribe of Orcs, the fighting attracts other tribes which creates an even larger fight, which attracts other tribes from far away... You end up with a World War event and then Orc ships from other parts of the galaxy start jumping in.

@@dariozanze4929 sounds like a helluva party

Also, I think the Tau represent a race that actually does things fairly properly and cleanly. They are actually growing and adapting as a society, possibly mirroring a younger humanity. So them innovating ftl travel is in line with them because they are evolving and innovating in the way humanity should be, whereas humanity just does what it does and refuses to adapt. I like how it mirrors where humanity is at in 40k.

@@fopipilop The Tau are basically a singular Stellaris player in a galaxy full of fallen empires and primitive civilisations, but no other normal empires.

Eh, cool i guess? I mean, it sounds pedantic and Primarch simp-y, but holy fuck, GW needs to either release Angron, Fulgrim, or a loyalist primarch and advance the story. GW is literally reviving a *20-YEAR DEAD FACTION* to avoid doing anything productive, but that’s just me.

@@gagetaylor54 pretty much I hate how the table top takes priority over the story

You're not first

@PJ Rivera that is how Squats were original though?

@PJ Rivera pretty sure they aren’t allied with the imperium

Technically they can maintain and repair it, they also have spaceships with normal warp travel tech like humanity has, they just aren't crazy about actually using it.

The FTL's of the races also work well to echo their themes. Humanity's FTL works well enough most of the time, but creates nightmarish conditions through a mixture of not understood technology and expendability. Eldar's method used to be the best form, but is deteriorating and dying off slowly despite the great efforts of their race. Orks are indifferent to what would ail other races, and actively endanger themselves for fun. Necrons posses the highest level of non-warp tech, though it is fragmented between the dynasties and is threatened by the instability of time and the troubles psyche of its wielders. Tyranids do BS stuff that makes them a good plot device antagonist. Tau are the newborn race, just beginning their foray into the galaxy proper, and use reliable and safe tech that doesn't match the quantity or quality of the other races, but its lack of volatility provides them the maximum use of their smaller size as well as prevents unnecessary casualties in support of their greater good.

@@aqwannos Tau haven’t used warp skimmer drives since the last couple of editions. They use FtL drives and stasis booths.

@@kelman727 well it still demonstrates that they are developing the tech that other races have, but for them its new rather tjan incredibly old and archaic

@@yaelz6043 being a lot brighter in the warp I can see why they wouldn’t use a warp drive even if they have there own hectic eldar gellar field

This is the moment I'd tell you that's not how physics work but then I realize we're talking about 40k

So its not true FTL because they can only come out of wormholes that they find which will be absolutely everywhere just like the eldar webway

Pretty sure necrons can also use wormhole for transportation. Pretty sure Trazyn uses a wormhole to escape from serenade to his own planet in the infinite and divine book.

@@Marth667 lol probably, though GW has done a fairly good job keeping the whole "upstart empire" going with them, so I don't see them littering the galaxy with millions. It will be probably be a max of 100 for the next IRL decade at least.

@@Jan_Iedema Oooh cool to know, thank you!

Yeah, the orcs are having fun there. Anyone who does try to stab them gets their shit pushed in, anyways.

Human FTL is like someone quietly weaving and slipping through a crowded room. Ork FTL is like a big burly dude storming through it and knocking people aside.

Ah so instead of making sure your not seen its make no one want to look at you

He's to dangerous to be left alive!

Navigator Houses really don't want to go out of the job

That was the entire reason the emperor never told anyone about the webway project. he knew the navigator houses would do everything to sabotage it

Stargate or Star Wars Hyperdrive?

@@TheWarmachine375 well, considering going out of their job also mean the imperium is now free to exterminate them as mutants, they got a good reason too

What we call problems, they just call entertainment.

@@J040PL7 🤣🤣🤣

If you think about it they could make a gellar device by constructing something and believing it works. But... why would they?

I want to but there isn’t a whole lot of lore about him, maybe I’ll include him in a bigger video

@@majorkill That's fair, a brief appearance in a book from the 90's isn't a lot to work with.

I looked into the Angel after hearing about him in a Majorkill comment section, and there really is next to no lore. Sweet concept though

@@majorkill what about a video about the different kinds robots the empire or the mechanus use.

@@majorkill Palpatine: *"Do It."*

NEEERRD.

@@franciscorui without a doubt.

Technically you could enter and exit close to a system, just extremely dangerous and inefficient even by 40k standards. Read somewhere that being reckless with it can leave a warp tear that can leave a psychic scar for years.

@@collecter343 right, if we're going by that standard, then just about anything is possible.

I guess you can think of that in terms of DUNE lore: The Guild Navigators in Dune are essentially supercomputer brainiacs that make all the monstrously difficult calculations necessary to "plot a route" along which space will be folded. I guess 'Nids do something similar, but maybe not quite as efficiently? As a hive mind, it might just be simpler to go "Cool, that's close enough; now on to the buffet!" Also, folding space would require insane amounts of energy, so I doubt they can do it in quick succession.

Only if you totally discount energy use (which really matters to nids)

The whole 90% thing is not a hard set rule, the main thing is that they have to slow down before getting too close. Too close in galactic terms are distances of hundreds of billions of kilometre, you could miss a planet by a solar system sized gap and in the galactic big picture you pretty much just scraped by. It’s not like a consume 90% of a set distance it’s more like they’re going so fast only consuming 90% of the distance is how they control their travel to arrive in a specific place. They need to slow down in order to get their bearings right enough to actually get where they wanna go instead of missing it by hundreds of light years or crashing into the planet at relativistic speeds vaporising the planet and part of the fleet and bringing a single tear to every tyrannid eye because of all that lost biomass

Don't know if they were retconned out, but there was also the Nicassar race that joined the T'au. They are nearly energy beings with extreme connection to the Warp, and as such use Warp energy for basically all of their tech, and work with the Water Cast (the navy) for transportation within the T'au Empire. They did also have some warships when Battlefleet Gothic used to be a thing.

@@PhailRaptor The Nicassar are the Psychic Pancake bears that are allies of the T'au, but they don't help with Transport within the Tau Empire they help the Tau navigate outside the empire. Also you're mixing up the Water and Air Castes, Water are the Diplomats and Merchants, the Air Caste is the Navy

Ogryns.

A true intellectual here who's willing to ask the important questions in life.

It's the Eldar of course! Everyone knows that!

A tie between some poor soul modified by Slanesh or some rotting Nurgle body that swelled up.

You mean the Man Emperor of Mankind

They use that and a version of the horizon drive.

Aren't several planets inhabited by traitor legions inside the Warp? They can't create a gellar field large enough to protect a planet. Why would they need them for their ships if their houses planetside are fully exposed to Warpyness?

@@Finraen While planets may be protected by Chaos Gods that they're pledged to, Slaanesh's raiding party wouldn't want to have a bunch of Khorne spawned Daemons to come in and sacrificing them to the Blood God.

Really?

FTL stands for Friendship That Lasts.

@@robertnelson9599 nice

He's op

Emperor was stealing and repurposing parts of the Eldar webway, he was not recreating it from scratch

the eldar, specially the harlequins and waysingers, can make temporary gates, but they can't permanently rebuild the tunnels

the death guard were going to come in through that portal the anti matter drives made when they went boom

But in the reality it is not.

The Imperium doesn't have access to the webway . The Eldar does , ist also the only thing keeping slaneesh away from them

The Imperium could've had this, if Magnus hadn't tried to warn the Big E about Horus' betrayal.

@@augapfel6993 then it's learning teleportation

@@samw.7929 It always good to theorized so maagggnuuuussss!!!!

@@samw.7929 Magnus or not the Imperial Webway will be breached. Tzeentch has enough power, time, and resources, to shatter the barrier of Terra, or atleast the Webway. He already had known of the Imperial Webway plan due to Kairos' true sight of the past and future. Even if there wasn't a Magnus-level entity present, he'd find a way to tear the webway. No one in the galaxy can compare or be at the level of prescient power that Tzeentch and Kairos combined have. Tzeentch just prepares other do the dirty work, but when he does do things by himself, the sheer terror and power he can unleash is unimaginable. It's kind of a shit plan of the Emperor to gamble most it all on the webway when one of his enemy is literally the Architect of Fate & Sorcery. The Emps failed to secure Magnus, he should have locked him and his legion on Terra during Nicaea. Many of the Thousand Sons literally have demons as familiars and Emps still never locked them up on Terra the moment they appeared on Nicaea. Many psychers across the galaxy already know the shitshow that will happen long before the HH began or something like a crisis will happen. For 50 years before the start of HH psychers cannot peer into the empyrean to see the future as they were blocked by "something", and many can feel something bad brewing in the Warp (A Thousand Sons). Yet the Emperor never had Magnus close to him or Terran reach, he chose to send him multiple systems away from Terra that will take YEARS to travel even with warp travel, and will take even more due to the warps storms during the HH. Everything is Emps fault honestly, this webway shit could have been prevented if he planet-locked Magnus on Terra. Hello Emperor? If Magnus is that Important to the webway then why the fuck did you not translocate Prospero to the Alpha Centauri system? Just transfer the planet from the Prospero system to the nearest system to Terra using your god-level psychic powers, Magnus and his sons did it why cant he? All this shitshow is because of the Emperor.

No wonder the Star Child picked him
