The Warhammer: Mechanicus OST Keeps Surprising Me 

When the internet dial-up beat drops

A prayer in the form of direct neural stimulation. So cool. Thank you for sharing that bit of lore

That's just how it sounds when they talk too. Binharic is a secret langauge only those in the Mechanicum can understand.

Also the way the admech sees the world around them. For any normal human their architecture looks blant and brutalistic, while in actuallity its all filled up with, for all intense and purposes, wifi nodes which they can see and interact with, meaning simply put their actuall architecture is VR based with the noopshere strings making it all up. Likewise they exist simultaniasly in the real world aswell in the noosphere, aka their version of internet/matrix

@@emprahsfinest7092 Not only them to be fair. You need to have proper augmentations and learn how to use them. Of course they don't just give them out for free, so you either need to be working for or be Mechanicus or be someone from Inquisition whether an actual Inquisitor or Acolyte

Agreed. Biomedical engineer here, I have unironically prayed to the Omnissiah when I was stuck on a coding assignment, literally changed nothing about the code, then hit compile. It worked.

@@shae98sc2 That RNG must have been hit different...

@NewSheo living the dream of every programmer, doing something that should not change anything unless there were neutrinos involved (extremely rare) and actually getting a different result

Praise the Omnissiah!!!

Brothers, imagine the machine in the factory that is as big as middle class american house, that was there since 1930-ies, that is almost one-of-a-kind (as often the case with really heavy factory machines, very very few of them are made), that nobody understands exactly how it work and only couple of grey-haired tech-priests know how to make it work, any documentation was lost or partially lost and it was not complete anyway, it have references to long gone factories and long dead magos... When you dig deeper it is even better: design engineers follow standard documents to the letter without knowing why certain rules are in place, following standard documents is more important than following common sense and even questioning these standards can get you fired for tech heresy. Nobody really understands why certain constants are what they are e.g. cos phi is always 0.7 for transformers and constant for temperature regulator is 0.5 - speaking of which what these constants even mean? (okay I actually know that regulator constants come from system of differential equations - like at least 20+ of them for anything resembling real system that could not even be solved analytically, or at least could not ~25 years ago when I studied that stuff in University). Real-world engineering is uncomfortably close to Cult Mechanicus... Our machines are just too complex even for very smart humans and physical principles behind them are even more so... There are entire branches of applied engineering sciences that nobody even heard of except very few people actually working in this field...

cool, I thought it's all synths (except the choirs and the organ - which I think was recorded in a real church)

@@ArinJager1 2:08 these parts in the soundtrack are the engines.

Also old computers processing things and starting up!

If I remember correctly a lot of buildings have servitors built into the walls and are constantly chanting, I wouldn’t doubt the admech do this as well for their ships, even the admech knights are constantly chanting when under fire that your able to hear it as it passes by

The Caestus Metallican is an Ark Mechanicus, the Imperium’s largest ship class that has ever been built, so not thousands of servants, but millions. It’s a flying small country.

@@24fretsoffury "thousands upon thousands" would come up to be millions...

@@MrTLSfan that’s generally how math works, yes.

I mean they do have an actual binary-language, add in the lack of biological speech organs and all of it synthetized through augmentics.

When you can hear a game just by thinking of the game, the OST is the shit.

Personally, I listen to the whole Mechanicus OST while I assemble and paint my necrons :-) Dance of the Cryptek is one of my favorite tracks for the necron side ^^

As an Admech Collector this music is a godsend. While I do listen to a variety of music while painting, this is perfect for painting my shiny boys.

The Magos Biologis approves.

may the god machine smiles upon you my friend.

Тоже самое

Darktide I found disappointing but Vermintide is also fabulous, though I feel like Mechanicus offers more long term richness.

Amiga/DOS-era games are kind of all over the place with their music, trending towards heavy metal and general orchestral epics.

And then there's the Orks.

And then there's the old Chaos Gate.

😂😂🥰

have you ever listened to Deus Ex OST? It reminds me of Mechanicus OST, but with a little more modern vibes. Both are cult classics.

Its on my list for Feb to film

Oh damn, he did Ixion? Another reason to try that game out.

Seconded.

Don't forget reciting psalm 11101-01 !

I keep seeing this so I'm adding it to my list

I remember reading an interpretation somewhere that the use of skulls has a duel meaning. The first is that the skull serves as a sort of unifying symbol. It is the face of humanity when you strip all ethnicity, creeds and status; it is what we all possess and proves we are as one species. The second is the skull represents the ultimate service one can commit to the God Emperor and his Imperium, which is self sacrifice. Martyrdom is the truest sign of faith, and what better to express this in symbolism than the human skull, for it both is obviously human and if all goes well, will outlast the rest of your body by a hundred fold. This long-lastingness of the skeleton serves as a analogy that your actions will long outlast your life, and that even in death, through your sacrifices in life you serve the Emperor in your actions echoes. This also why its considered a great honor for a persons brain/skull to be used for a servoskull. Servoskulls represent this echo of sacrifice in a far more literal sense, and being a skull they are the face of the Imperium they don't come from the same ilk that most servitors are born from.

Interesting. Wrath of the Righteous has some of the most detailed character creation I have seen in the fantasy genre, without making it messy in the process. So there is certainly potential there.

😂😂😂😂 bro

Cathédrale of Angoulême ! French team 💪

Dayum! That's why?

you will!
