Another compilation of 40K Fates and 'Jobs', we're starting to reach a limit tho on documented nightmare roles for humans within the Imperium - sp looking forward to Episode 4 - we may have to delve into the speculative - which may be no bad thing as it allows us to go forward and back in history, and off into tangents that have not been covered. So I look forward to that when we get there. AS USUAL enjoyed? Drop a like, consider the old subscribe ! thanks all !
is there any way we could get a look into the real world history of the lore? those of us who are newer to the universe have only ever known a 40k that has deeply established lore, but dont know how it evolved over time. like when did genestealers stop being their own thing and become part of the tyranids? how much information was there about the horus heresy before the book series started in 2006? like a history of the editions and codices and stuff?
i still think the best job is "random farmer on a random feudal world who will probably die of illness at 30 without ever being aware of the greater horror"
the real winners are any feudal world members, i mean lifes rough but you know exacly whatll happen peasant? disease but itll be a good run guard? peasants but maybe more violent noble? treachery more than likely but very slim really the knights are more fucked than anyone despite being, ya know knights
@TerritoriesOfMan12 yes, there are several and their designation is civilized world. Not hive, not forge not anything, not that important and they make the bulk of the imperium.
@@valtersplume3726 Turns out when you restrain someone and lock them in a pitch black, soundproof box for a decade, it screws them up pretty bad. Compared to the confinement, isolation and sensory deprivation, I honestly don't think the pain would do that much. If anything, it probably helps keep them sane a little longer, giving their mind some kind of sensation to focus on. The only thing I'm wondering is how they pilot that thing if they can't see or hear anything outside of their sarcophagus.
@@screamingcactus1753 Most likely purely on instinct, I imagine their gut feeling is so honed that they could perceive threats to such a degree that they could respond to it appropriately.
I think servitor maintenance would be a pretty grim job. Every day, you're up close and personal with one of the most common horrors of the Imperium, staring into the eyes of human beings that have been reduced to unthinking, unquestioning machines. There's also the possibility that at any time, one of the sullen, expressionless faces carted into your shop could be one you recognize. Sure, it might not be the most dangerous or strenuous job, but I can't imagine dealing with something like that on a daily basis wouldn't have an effect on most people
Honestly I feel like this seems horrific only from our standpoint, where the idea of a servitor is abhorrent; for most Imperial citizens seeing a servitor is not much different than it is for us to see a, I dunno, a lawnmower
always love reading the ones where the authors clearly forgot how young children are when taken to be space marine initiates. Stuff like "they only take the most hardened warriors or criminals" can't really be squares with the lore that says you have to be less than 13 and ideally even younger to start the process
@@AsbestosMuffins it depends, when first finding Primarchs they seemed to be less worried about that, it might be more ideally be that young but others can, and on top of that in 40k things are so screwed up that by 13 you could be a hardened criminal with a few murders under your belt.
1000x yes to more history bits. History is fascinating, and many connections and comparisons between it and the lore can be drawn. And at least to me, it's just fun as well.
LT, these videos are amazing. *Thank you* for doing all the leg work so us plebs can enjoy this amazing and deep verse. Truly the greatest iterator of our age.
hes got a level of granularity that you really dont get from any other channel, very articulate always has cool artwork, i would looove to see some AoS vids form him
Maybe a census clerk? Like the guy who goes door to door trying to figure out what the population numbers are like, and how many of what class/occupation there are. I feel like that would be a maddening, never ending task. Probably extremely confusing too: "Here is your ink, quill, dataslate, and munitorum issue sidearm" "...Why do I need the autopistol?" "You're going to the underhive"
A pretty bad job i can think of is the people who clean the streets after a huge chaos/xeno invasion, where they have to pick up the corpses and bodyparts of dead guardsmen and traitors/xenos alike and sometimes they are still alive, idk i saw it in the Calgar comic and i feel really bad for those people Sorry if this was mentioned before but just putting out ideas
@@beziik2357yes. After a successful defense of a hive city for example. Probably can’t or won’t bother to get all the little nooks and crannies of the crammed construction, leaving rotting and maybe alive flesh from both humanity (tainted and untainted) and xenos that the whole street gets to enjoy during the following weeks/months.
Having my brain transplanted into a lamppost with a sole purpose to open a door for bypassers 24/7 for the next 10 000 years would rate pretty high up there.
I only just discovered this channel and the 40k lore/universe and man it’s an dark yet amazing world Edit: in the grim dark future of 40K lore it’s nice that veterans welcome this noob to all of it. Glory to the Imperium of Man. Also, why are the miniatures stupid, expensive unreal. Unreal
@@TheBearInTheChair Don't listen to him, tabletop is just amazing. It has it's flaws but it is still the biggest of it kind game in the world. I too started with lore but i eventually fallen in love in tabletop by battle report videos.
@@graullas8981, would love to get into miniatures. Just playing into y'all's meme, atm. Would love to get back into tabletop, it is just for personal reasons other than the entry cost (I miss TheTrove) that I'm not, legit lost my marriage over a D&D campaign. And they say you all are super serious about what happens in game.
It never fails to amuse or amaze that within the imperium, which regularly deals with lovecraftian horrors of the warp, unrelenting tyranids and orks, and the sheer hell of being a drukhari slave, the concept of “worst existence” doesn’t fall to a guardsman having to fight a genestealer cult, or a space marine having to endure decades or centuries of constant battle, but it falls to simply being a regular person having to interact with other regular people.
Just finished Vorbis Conspiracy last night. It was terrific. Several wonderful writers like Guy Haley, Chris Wraight and new talent that were genuinely good to great. The overlapping stories and slow reveal did give you a great sense of place. Very immersive. Can recommend.
The first two videos in this series where what got me into 40k. Over a year later, I get to enjoy the 3rd installment and for that, I am grateful Loremaster
This is how I know Luetin09 is such a lore digger. Don't get me wrong; I am purging the heretics and xenos all day long for the emperor. But when you are on the THIRD video of "shitty jobs" - The shine on the emperors armor starts to fade a bit.
I want to say that I enjoy you sharing your history knowledge. I knew what guilds were, but I never realized it was to maintain quality standards, ensuring financial stability for the members. It makes sense. I would love you sharing whatever you're passionate about. Great video, as always.
In the novels Pariah and Penitent, both by Dan Abent we are show two horrible jobs. One is the War Bind, a cybernetic veteran of a old war which seem to be very long live and lives has bandits. The second was the Cursed. A underclass that ran a fowl of the authorities who must make a living of take on the sin of others. They tattoo themselves with a description of the sin and do anything within their power to make amends for it, be it hire goon or a bodyguard.
I really want to hear a story about Tyranids trying to take this chop shop system. It would be like the entire system being made of the Macragge orbital defenses.
I like that you mentioned the corpse harvesting parties right after they showcased the new models for them, that and ive loved the water guild designs when I first saw them
Ah yes, no matter how cold it is outside. A Video from Luetin about the Horror of 40k always warms my Heart. It might also be the Tea but mostly the Horror.
Id imagine being an imperial guard medic or field surgeon would considerably unpleasant if you think about it. Your the one tasked with stapling back together the bodies of guardsmen who managed to survived bolt rounds.
In all honesty, I think being the 40k equivalent of a repair technician would be an absolutely harrowing experience. Imagine reporting to a Mechanicus adept, who refers to you as at best a number and looks like something between a pale, gaunt man and some kind of cyber zombie, and being told it’s your job to swap out the blades on a meat packing plants saws, or to replace the pilot lights on a ship’s sub-warp engines or, worst of all, perform maintenance on a whole slew of servators. Now imagine crawling through whatever rusted gantries and ducts connect wherever you are to where you need to be, along with whatever poor souls share your unfortunate task, a good chance any one wrong step sends you plummeting down from such a height that the bottom can’t be seen from where you are. Then you finally get to you task, the machines still running (because it would be inefficient to to them off) and you just have to move past those running meat saw blades, one wrong step meaning you be part of tomorrow’s lunch. Or rappelling down past idling engines to swap the broken pilot light, the heat making you drip with sweat, knowing if you drop even a single tool you’ll be killed for incompetence or disrespecting the machine god. And the worst task of all, the servators. To begin, the smell, imagine the pure rancid stench that is sweat, machine grease, urine feces, and most probably blood. Then you walk up and see twisted flesh and metal mockeries of human beings staring back at you with blank empty eyes, perhaps you even recognise them. As you open them up, what was once the contained smell of human waste is put on full display, as you scrape and scrub away any leakages, likely covering yourself in its muck. Perhaps worse of all is the potential that the servator’s mind wipe was faulty and as you poke and prod it’s insides it flinches and perhaps even weeps from its eyes, all the while you feel the pressing guilt of what you’re doing, knowing you’ll probably have to do it again. You’ll likely die during any of your jobs, and even the less lethal ones will make you wish you were dead. Pure hell.
I was looking to see if anyone else thought of that. I think that any part of making a servator has to be very grim to. First you have to deal with mostly violent criminals try to get out. Then trying to add augments to people of wildly different body types that if you mess up could at best, take a wild swing at you. Then there are all of the "extra bits" after you are done cutting and probably a bit of waste leakage just as matter of course. There is probably a lot more it's just a bit to late for me to think about now
I love this breakdown. I’m not a Warhammer guy but I love listening to your stuff. I studied church history and this is one of the real problems (opportunities?) in history- especially church history. There are these little fragments of “the commoner” that paint such a fascinating picture.
Its not exactly church history (well it is because its about rome i guess?) But you might like "invisible romans" by robert knapp, nice view of ordinary romans.
Genuine question, how do you listen to these if you aren't into 40k? Technically if you listen to enough and build a mental database of compounded information you receive from these videos, you are warhammer guy.
@@ATF- I mean, a few things. 1. I find @Luetin09 is a great "talker" and explainer. It's presented in a compelling way. The content itself- the stuff about Warhammer- I find really compelling. Again, I have no desire to read the books or get into table top. But, there's a whole ecosystem of people that take it seriously and speak of it seriously. I love history. I love politics. I love how government, religion, politics, etc fit together. Warhammer seems to have a lot of that going on. It's inspiring to me as a DM in Dungeons and Dragons. I'm all about "what can I learn, what can I steal?" IT's been exciting and interesting to get into (tangentially) the world. And hey, any hobby that youtube videos have to start with "this is just my speculation" is winning. ;)
I would say an Iron Hands aspirant Marine. Your existence will be brief, harsh, filled with self-loathing, and if you fail (which is very likely to happen), you'll be turned into a Servitor. And even if you succeed, you will be even less human than most Astartes, as the Iron Hands firmly believe that _"The Flesh is weak."_
Though it is loss on the Iron Hands themselves, the irony only makes it worse as their own primarch would've disagreed with such beliefs and believed that his sons should've learned to trust their own flesh, not abhor it.
You talking about chaos marines having a disconnect in their perception of time reminded me exactly why I love chaos marines. The fact that chaos terminators for instance most likely are veterans of the Horus heresy. The idea that a singular soldier has 10,000 years of combat experience under their belt is just such a chilling prospect. And I adore for instance how in red tithe shadraith just teleports throughout the decks of the ship with no care for normalcy, how he views the night lords before him as petulant children entirely naive. I read that book for the carcharadons but fell in love with characters like shadraith.
thank you very much for all your work with 40k youtube movies you make I've been into warhammer fantasy for almost 25 years but you're the one who got me hooked on 40k
That last mental image of sisters of silence dragging away screaming and crying children just to torture and murder them gives a whole new perspective to the black ships.
Content suggestions: - Perpetuals - all those who seemingly cannot die (Emperor / Vulkan / etc) - Where are all the Primarchs?? Which of the Primarchs are still alive, where are they, and what condition are they in?
if you plan to spin around to the Best Jobs in 40k, after reading the Veringatua Crime Books, being a Probetor isn't a bad life, you get grade 4 housing, defect free cybernetics, a modicum of protection from the criminal syndicates, and some side hustles depending on how bent you are, as long as you can put up with the never ending drudgery and crime
A video talking about the historical references of the 40K universe would be interesting. It'd probably be a lot of Roman/Greek/Persian/etc. history given the Imperium's aesthetic, but the universe draws a lot on historical events, so bringing the two together would have value.
I’d imagine a mortician would be a pretty crazy job. What with all the crazy and wild ways one can end up going out in this universe. Assuming half the time there’s anything left to be sent to a mortician
Two for one with the Eversor Temple of the Officio Assassinorum. You have the Eversors themselves, which are basically just augmented, drug-fuelled nightmares like the archoflagellents who are given spikes of pain every second of every hour of every day anytime they're not in cryosleep and have a target to kill in order to instill in them as much blind hatred of their target as possible. They're the least subtle tool the Officio possesses, essentially being berserk killers who will end the lives of pretty much anyone and anything between them and their intended target. Given how mentally unstable they are, the Eversor assassins constantly record the events of their mission so that the record may be recovered when the assassin's task is complete and is put back into cryosleep. You can't exactly get a verbal after-action report from an Eversor, and even if you could, it probably would be along the lines of "I killed the first dude with a wooden toy horse, and then killed his buddy by ramming the first dude's legs up his asshole." Heavy on the grizzly details but lacking in actual information. However, this leads into the theoretical job of being the most likely heavily traumatized Officio adept who must watch the recordings in order to compile the Eversors' after-action reports.
I’d love to hear about what you learned in ancient European history (talking about guilds at ~1 hour mark). Inspiration is inspiration and content is content.

I love this series of yours, remind8ng us what the Imperium is at its lowest and darkest on an individual level. It fleshes out the vision we have of it, and focuses on t8ny details sometimes. As an avid Lorevore of 40k, this is Caviar.
Took me bout a month and a half on and off but just caught up on all 114 videos in yer 40k lore round up. Use to see the little figurines at hobby stores not knowing what they were and if it werent for my friend 10 years ago uttering "Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne" offhandedly it would have never planted the seed of ambitious i had for the this verse. Thanks Mr. Luetin now I gotta lot of reading to do.
I’ve literally cried thinking about 3 things: 1. The thoughts of someone in a penitence engine. 2. The thoughts of someone captured and tortured by a humunculae. 3. The sheer hatred of lower beings by the Drukhari and aeldari.
Electrician here- Being an Electrician, Plumber, or any other trade, even in 40k they’ll still need welders. Pretty sure if I was plucked into 40k, I would either die in the first month or be pretty successful making my self useful in fixing their basic tech- assuming I could kind of understand it and it still works on basic principles.
Not tp mention, to become an electrician in 40k, you'll likely require to be layed into Mechanicum priesthood. Which would require replacement of both your legs, your throat, your cranium, cyberware interface to attach mechanodendrites (think Doc Oc tentacles). After that your mind would be... adjusted to make you get rid of "unnecessary" memories, like your childhood or loved ones. "Useless" emotions, like "joy", "pity", "regret" would also be scrubbed away. Congrats, now you are soulless cyborg electrician. Praise the Omnissiah!
@@andreykuzmin4355 ‘salty mechanicus noises and still finding a way to drink beer on the job site while fixing 5000 year old wiring that was initially installed wrong’ ‘Also charging 500 credits an hour and being a giant tech cyborg douche to everyone’
I'll be honest. Ship breakers would be like a "side hustle" for a Rogue Trader or a Mechanicus team. Maybe take the best bits for yourself and leave the rest for others. Kinda like a used car salesman, which the owner would shortchange or screw over potential buyers.
Implying the Emperor poops? Oh, I’m so calling heresy on that. Any ecclesiarch will tell you that His faultless divine metabolism obliterates all matter without waste. Otherwise he’d be shitting big piles of psyker all day.
Lutien, Ive had an idea for a job that might be terrifying. Gellar field technician. I dont know what kind of warp stuff happens around the field generator, but it might be a hot spot for demons and other entities. Its also high stress, when at any moment, the field could drop, and demons could rush in. I am unaware of long term effects due to being around the generator, so I was thinking it could be a tech priest with a team of expedanble slaves keeping the field up and running. Those are my thoughts, let me know what you think.
After hearing all the dark jobs in the Imperium, it makes you ask the heretical question….is Chaos right after all? The way the Imperium treat its citizens is horrific and almost seems to deserve all the wars it faces.
Oh, I got a candidate for Ep4 (or 5, or wherever you're at in writing ^^) : being the "donor" in the Rite of Duplessence. One of those "honors" of the Imperium I wouldn't wish on my enemies, and one of - if not *the* purest expression of the Mechanicus's obsession with the preservation of knowledge and it being more valuable than anything, life or human decency never even a factor. A horrifying fate embraced as a great honor, for the Omnissiah ! Not quite a job, but still kinda is because it's not like the Mars boys do anything but work ... and I never see anyone speaking of this favorite tidbit of mine, so there. For reference, the Rite of Duplessence is at the very least explained in the Into the Storm book for the Rogue Trader RPG. So hey : sort of a timely thing too. Fun vid as always, I thoroughly enjoy your takes on the verse, numerous digressions and clarity when it comes to speculation. Love your stuff, may it keep on going.
@Leutin09... am surprised you had a decent explanation of the Sister's still being Hyman! I'm truly honored to have had you include my idea! Even more so given your comments seemingly coming from the post on the last! Maddd Respect! FOR THE EMPEROR AND SANGUINIUS! 🛡⚔️🩸🩸🩸⚔️🛡
You said in the past that you wanted to diversify the vids that you did. I'm all for it, I like the style of your videos, regardless if they're 40k related or not
I like to imagine gelt more like a token than a flat out valued currency. Like a "get whatever you need and are paying for within reason" coin, that is recognized and useable as such across the imperium, and as such, valuable to anyone no matter where they are in the imperium, given ofc they are near barterable resources to begin with
My Audible membership has been amazing. Over the last two years I've been through almost 50 Warhammer audiobooks during my daily commute. I don't look at it as a boring drive anymore; it's a chance to get more lore.
reposting a request: is there any way we could get a look into the real world history of the lore? those of us who are newer to the universe have only ever known a 40k that has deeply established lore, but dont know how it evolved over time. like when did genestealers stop being their own thing and become part of the tyranids? how much information was there about the horus heresy before the book series started in 2006? who is matt ward and why does everyone hate him? like a history of the editions and codices and stuff?
21:30 speaking of gellarfields I leaned well enough from the all guardsmen party is NEVER , NEVER, EVER get refurbished gellalfield generators especially from nubby
Saw the released one hour ago on this immediately assumed a year ago and had to do a double take. I've really been watching too much of the archive. Emperor praise you for your work
To be fair, *the* very worst fate imaginable in the 40k 'verse would _probably_ be getting captured alive by the Dark Eldar Haemonculi, who would then proceed to turn you into something like a somehow still living and fully conscious tapestry of raw flesh and exposed nerves.
For those individuals who prefer a simplified/ complete story with a less ambiguous ending, I'm in the process of summarizing the entire Hourus Heresy series. I'll be going book by book condensing the 12 hour novels into shorter length videos that give an understanding of the Horus Heresy, primarily for beginners but also a overall summary of events for the less cohesive parts of the stories, stay tuned for more details but I hope the series will be a good primer for anyone wanting to read the Siege of Terra series!
Honestly being an inquisitor would probably be a pretty crappy job for the average person. While yes they get a lot more luxuries than your average imperial citizens, just think of the mental toll such a job would take on someone. It would be like having to make the infamous moral question of who to run over with the train, the 5 innocent people or the 1 convicted criminal. Now imagine multiplying those numbers by 100 or 1 thousand and then having to make those decisions every single month, hell probably more like every week. This isn’t even mentioning the massive mental toll it must take on the inquisitor’s to be dealing with chaos so much. As Stringstorm’s song goes “for every burden there is someone to bear it, behind the greater good the sins we commit.” All too often a physical toll is looked at when referring to the worst jobs but often the mental toll a job might take is overlooked.
You really have to wonder what a Penitent Engine truly is, is this just a 40k invention or pulled from a Golden Age STC? When you hear things like "Torment Amplifier" you really have to wonder if this machine ever had a use before the rise of the Ecclesiarchy and the formation of the Sisters.
It's humanity just the absolute worst parts of it. Though I wouldn't consider astartes and primarchs human but more mutant creatures of an unknown being ( We still don't know what Big E really is)
Luetin I adore your 40k vids. But I would also love some history vids with the same vibe and energy. Or even just referencing more real history to help explain things in your 40k videos. Sort of like your resource worlds video. Real examples really helps immerse you into the 40k verse.
