Tzeentch episode... OR IS IT? | Warhammer 40k Lore 

My favourite piece with Tzeentch is still that time he lost at a children´s card game to a wayward member of the custodes.

"How bad is 40k? It's so bad that there's a god of hope, and the god of hope is evil."

"Magnus the Red was the nerd-nerd, Lorgar was the bible studying nerd" And obviously Perturabo was the third kind of nerd. _Stares directly into the camera_

Shy's face slowly changing into a different expression, the little whispers and shadows across the screen... gotta love the subtle things added to this episode!

Someone described seeing Tzeentch to me as: “if you see a guy who says he saw tzeentch and tries to describe something, he’s a liar. If you see a guy frothing at the mouth who clawed his own eye out and is now saying something that sounds like they could be trying to say Tzeentch but their too busy making guttural noises and hiding from water on an ocean planet? That guy MIGHT have seen Tzeentch out of the corner of his eye.”

The Tzeentch video does not arrive late to the other chaos gods. He arrives at exactly the time he planned it to be.

couple tidbits i'd like to add because tzeentch is amazing: Those flamers of tzeentch? Their flames don't always burn. Their flames have built in RNG that can cause someone to smell sweet, get covered in wine, burn away their soul and not their flesh or make them immune to all fire. In a similar vein there is the Mutalith Vortex Beast, a massive daemon that has a giant rift into the warp open on it's back that radiates magical effects. It can cause people to turn inside out, vaporize an enemy, give healing properties to anyone near it or give a random nearby person the exact power necessary to kill a Mutalith Vortex Beast. The self-defeating randomness of Tzeentch is my favorite part of his lore.

I'm disappointed bricky didn't use the best quote for Ghargatuloth: 'You just had to look around you, Grey Knight, and you'd have seen it. What is Chaos? Suffering, you might say. Oppression. Deceit. But could not all these things be said of your Imperium? You hunt down the talented and the strong-willed. You break them or sacrifice them. You lie to your citizens and wage war on those who dare speak out. The inquisitors you call masters assume guilt and execute millions on a whim. And why? Why do you do this? Because you know Chaos is there but you do not know how to fight it, so you crush your own citizens for fear that they might aid the Enemy. The Imperium suffers because of Chaos. No matter how hard you fight, that will never change. Chaos exists in a state of permanent victory over you - you dance to our tune, mortal one, you butcher and torture and repress one another because the gods of the warp require you to. The Imperium is founded on Chaos. My lord Tzeentch won your war a long, long time ago.'

You didn't talk about the blue scribes :( one of the funniest duos in 40k, two brothers with access to the most powerful magic in existence, but one of them can write magic but can't understand his own writing, and the other can read spells but can't understand them so they go around the battlefield randomly throwing insanely powerful spells

Lots of folks posting favourite Tzeentch quotes, so here's mine. "I'll never serve your cause", said Dathan, "Never. I will always betray you because I am a man, and Mankind is all that stands in the way of things like you and the ultimate annihilation of everything." "Nothing stands in the way of the ultimate annihilation of everything," Tzeentch said. "In the end, everything possessed of life returns to air, and ash, and dust. Everything possessed of energy returns to lifelessness. All that matters is how things burn - not how quickly, but *how* . I need enemies, Dathan, more than I need allies. There is nothing quite so precious to me as a traitor."

According to Jungian psychology, there is the concept of the animus and the anima, as well as the inner child it's safe to say, that yes, there is just a little guy within us all.

One of the wildest things about Tzeentch is the fact that he also represents hope... he literally is behind your ear when you want things to be better. In the Ahriman trilogy Tzeentch tells him that he is his favorite human, and his favorite servant, because despite betraying the imperium, despite ruining the golden throne and dooming the human webway, and then literally betraying his genefather Magnus, and using a spell that turned so many of his loyal soldiers into dust slaves.... AHRIMAN STILL HAVES HOPE! he still hopes and plans and schemes homehow hoping that next time...the next thing will work out...somehow he will fix the spell, he will be accepted by Magnus again, he will stop the Thousand Sons' mutations, all will be perfect! Ahriman is mad enough to think there is a way out of this hell, he still hopes he can fix this shit...

Since tzeench is ever changing, they could be canonically a 12 feet tall cat girl

Am I the only one that finds it funny how He's basically just the Chaos God of fuckin Chaos and no one ever seems to question that

I think it's hilarious how often DK's first gut instinct on the quote is always so much closer to the mark than the answer he ends with.

Fun fact: a little girl and her black dog went into tzeentch’s maze Solved every puzzle and avoided all the daemons and traps And even he was baffled at what happened Some theories say that due to her innocence and ignorance of the world she was able to escape

The Changling once used his shape-shifting ability to pluck some apples from Slaanesh's nice gardens and yeet them over to Nurgle's rot garden, prompting a massive fight between the gods.

I find it funny that Shy, sovereign of sh*tposts, is scared of the Tzeenchian coruptions

“You would ask Tzeentch a question, and that question leads to three more questions, and those questions lead to the heat death of the universe, which provides four answers to those questions. Then he thinks to himself “What are questions really, and are you even asking the questions? Or are you simply giving paths to answers” (Bricky, warhammer 40k factions part 2) -Congratulations you now know everything you need to about tzeentch and at the same time you know nothing. Or Mabye you know particular information about him? Coke to think about what is information, is it simply facts form different points of veiw or is nothing said set in stone! We shall see.(just as planned)

I think Cleveland works better as Nurgle's realm, Tzeentch's is supposed to be a place of hope

Tzeentch is notable for actually having one of the biggest "pet the dog" moments in 40k. That being he thought Ahriman did such a good job being his favorite champion Tzeentch wanted to gift him with "oblivion." Basically wipe his soul from existence. Considering every other Chaos follower is destined to an eternity of damnation and suffering with their souls being devoured by daemons. It was probably the kindest thing a Chaos god could "gift" someone. His court of Daemons were completely shocked. Though he did reconsider later on.

>Barges in >”Just as planned” >Refuses to elaborate >Leaves

"I challenge you to Paradox Billiards Vostroyan Roulette Fourth Dimensional Hypercube Chess Strip Poker!"

I'm really sad the Bricky didn't talk about the Lost Human girl and her pet dog that navigates the impossible fortress 1st try. Tzeench and Fateweiver where both like "WHAAAT?"

My favourite part about tzeentch demons is the changeling that infiltrated the rock and fucked with the dark angels - until he run into a watcher in the dark, started freaking out and pissing his pants because that thing scared the shit out of him for some reason.

Shortstack dummy thicc Gretchin poster when? I'm certain this would be a big help to the 40k community.

I imagine Tzeentch looks like one of those AI generated photos that make you think you know what you're looking at but you can't make anything out

Honestly Tzeench has a really cool concept and aesthetic. He is truly peak chaos.

36:50 not even the chaos gods could 1v1 tzeentch, it took them all together to shatter tzeentch and only cause tzeentch wanted to be shattered cause it would be boring if he won the great game.

Tzeench-“I’m not in your walls, look around you, you’ve been in my walls all along”

M:“Must get more power“ T: “Hey kid you like books and being a smart ass?” M: ABSOLUTELY!!!

Ah man I was hoping Bricky would bring up the time a little girl and her dog made it through his whole maze/realm thing and nobody in Tzeech's employ not even himself or the Fateweaver can figure out how the heck she did it

My work here is done. Chaos reigns, and Bricky remains perpetually perturbed. All just as planned...

Has anyone ever ask Tzeentch, "Bro, can you not, right now?" I think he would stop wilding out like he do.

You would ask Tzeentch a question, and that question leads to three more questions and those questions lead to the heat death of the universe which asks four answers to those questions and then he thinks to himself "What are questions even really? And are you even asking the questions? Or are you simply giving paths to answers?"

The fact that, while, room was slowly corrupted by Tzeentch, Shy was terrified and Bricky was smiling, truly shows who is Chad in the room.

Interesting thing about Tzeentch is that though Khorne is said to be the one who was the first to manifest out of the four, his sacred number is '8' while Tzeentch's sacred number is '9,' suggesting that, somehow, Tzeentch has some sort of seniority over them.

tzeentch is the most powerful of the dark gods. hes so powerful he has to constantly sabotage himself so he doesnt win and ruin the game.

Note that the Genie screwing you over isn't in the original legends of the djinn. Often it was misunderstandings or the genie being unable to fulfill your request. Being punished for greed a la monkey's paw is more recent mythology.

The change of Shys face as the room changes and as shadows run across the screen is a fun addition

As much as I'm excited for Tzeench, Magnus, and the Thousand Sons, I know I'm going to be saddened to not see the Blood Ravens come after them. Even when it would very fitting with the Magpies being sons of Magnus. Post Watch Comment: This has got to be the best episode thanks to all the edits and Tzeench stuff that was added into this. Shy you are the best and we love you for all you effort. Best Episode by far and that jumpscare at the end really caught me off guard.

I love your editing Shy, Those sounds cracked me up, and the change in the colors of the flames is a cool detail too. ;)

I like the idea of a Library full of talking books calling one another out for being full of shit.

Man the wispers in the background and the subtle shadows traverisng the screen where a nice but creepy touch for the episode XD

25:14 This reminds me of Galactus. Thor essentially described him as a force of nature so primeval and undeniable, and simultaneously unknowable that he appears as a version of whatever species is viewing him. The fact that he's always been a gigantic humanoid comes from the fact that it's the human audience that's seeing him.

Okey shy, i really got some chills whenever you added some little changes on the video. Well done

Nyarlethotep seems like the inspiration for Tzeentch.

Let's have some extra lore, for more wisdom appeases the great changer! To make it through the great crystal mazes and endless Labyrinth of Tzeentch, a person has to travel through 9 gates. Each gate will have a mouth above it, the "guardian of the maze". The entity is unknown truly and will at every gate ask the traveller one of the 999 riddles of Tzaratxoth. Those who answer correct will pass through, those who do not will wander the maze forever Only once has anyone ever correctly answered and passed through all 9 gates. Many of the stories of this person show them to be a young girl, with a small black dog

Bricky: "I didn't need to know that Adeptus Ridiculus R34 existed" Tzeentch: "Hello"

When I saw the title, my brain immediately started to play the Vsauce theme and began imagining a video of the indecisive mollusk trying to convince us chaos both is and is not evil and how the parodox makes perfect sense.

Bricky: "...a crawling mass of flesh" Shy: *picture of your mother* Give Shy a medal!

I could imagine Tzeench being the most powerful of the Chaos God's since change is always happening with the other Gods. Tzeench: Hey Khorne what are you doing? Khorne: Oh I'm just adding more skulls to my throne. Tzeench: Guess you could say your throne is...changing? Khorne: Fuck you Tzeench!

Just as they were talking about Tzeentch’s connections to Egyptian culture I got a notification for a video titled something like “Why the Ancient Egyptians went Extinct” I feel like the Changer of Ways is up to something here…

Tzeentch is best described as trying to draw a music player background

Shy you memelord. Loved the tiny sounds throughout the episode as well as the small visual changes. And that ending 😙👌perfect.

Jesus... the subtle change from "normal" to smoke and green flames and Shy looking VERY worried... wow! I did not actually realize it was happening until about minute 40. REALLY well done.

You would ask Tzeentch a question, and that question leads to three more questions and those questions lead to the heat death of the universe which asks four answers to those questions and then he thinks to himself "What are questions even really? And are you even asking the questions? Or are you simply giving paths to answers?" -Bricky describing Tzeentch in a nutshell.

An important bit of Tzeench lore is that it used to be the strongest chaos god, but the other chaos gods came together to defeat Tzzench and instead of being defeated it shattered it's crystal staff in surrender, losing a lot of power. The shards of the staff supposedly spread across the universe and that was the birth of sorcery.

@30:12 "Bricky: Being in this area would make you go insane" Shy: Shows picture of Cleveland... I can confirm this.

On tonight's episode of adgear, DK goes full dgen, bricky transcends into daemonhood, and shy unknowingly summons a being with greater power than her.

I always thought of Tzeentchs realm looking like a shifting AI art scape.

Shortstack goblins are top tier Bricky is becoming less based by the minute I'm guessing he never played Twilight Princess because Midna cannot be beat Also Shy's editing is amazing

My favorite part of Tzeentch is their human persona called "Sseth"

DK "You could want something completely good, and proper, and for the betterment of the people: and Tzeench can still sort of trick you and corrupt you into WHOOPS YOU ACCIDENTALLY KILLED EVERYONE!" Magnus "..."

You can tell tzeentch had a hand in how many merch shirts were left over

The Flamers produce flames with completly random effects too! It can burn to a crisp, change you completly to something else, be a little refreshing breeze or even a healing fire😊

Man, those whispers and a running shade at 15:56 really got me a few times.

The best part of that 9mm pistole joke is that the pistole Brickie is holding isn't even traditionally 9mm.

"Kairos you're going in the well." "Ba-gock!?"

"We do a little trolling here" Tzeentch probably

This podcast is on another level when it comes to entertaining shenanigans.

Nice touch on the foreground art, I definitely didn't notice the slow encroaching energy until it was too late

I like all the subtle visual and audio changes. When I saw the shadow run by the screen, I had to go back just to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

You see Tzeentch made sure that matt ward would become a writer at GW ensuring that the Ultramarines would be over represented, while at the same time he would also influence the creation of orks so that shy would get into warhammer, thus that would make it so years later she would invite bricky in order to make Adeptus rediculus and DK would sell his soul to Tzeentchb ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN !

I still find it hilarious that my mom finds the Flamers of Tzeentch really really cute.

Somebody called For Tzeentch? TZEENTCH NUTS

I was bored so have a quote about Tzeentch i made "You wish to know tzeench but all you will find is a impossible labyrinth. He is both everything and nothing, knowable and not. His machinations both simple and convoluted. He words both truth and false. He is tzeench and to know him is to be insane" - inquisitor Pytic Lugenvin of the ordo malleus

Ah yes, Magnus adopted father and chicken Connosiour Tzeentch

2:28 he saw his Gretchen ShortStack OC for the first time.

I know that y'all aren't as into Age of Sigmar but I do want to bring up the Silver Towers of Tzeentch. They are run by nine of Tzeentch's Gaunt Summoners who are these powerful mages, they basically exist as dungeons and challenge points to entertain Tzeentch by luring adventurers in with promises of treasure and rewards, and often not fulfilling their promises. The Silver towers can travel between the Mortal Realms of AOS with little Rhyme or Reason, being in the Realm of Fire one day, only to be in the Realm of Beasts the next. They're kind of a trippy microcosm of Tzeentch's realm without being in the realm of Chaos.

14:30 Okay, adding whispers here is a Tzeetch worthy thing

HELL YEAH! I was waiting for the Tzeentch episode! I'm a Tzeentch follower, my lord has finally arrived!

On this episode of Adeptus Ridiculous, DK gets tricked by Tzeentch, Bricky gets his sense of time distorted, and Shy warps the fabric of reality to suit her sensibilities. And no one retains their sanity, if then ever had any to begin with.

completely irrelevent to the episode itself: Seeing Brickys reaction to Goblin-posting was great for me since, I literally make a living off drawing goblins.

Yooo the detail of the darkness surrounding the characters are amaizing hahaha

Tzeentch used to be the strongest chaos god, the other three had to work together to sunder him, the Blue Scribes are working to find all pieces of him to return him to his previous strength. Also suprised there was no mention of the young girl that completed Tzeentch's maze with no adverse side effects. (Alice in Wonderland reference)

14:30 - wh1sperz 18:53 - Amogus 23:35 - Clawk 27:44 - AMOGUS 33:24 - uh oh.....stinkiiiieeee 37:16 - *vibe check* 42:51 - A M O G U S 52:10 - big farded 1:04:27 - A surprise.

Highly recommend the Ahriman omnibus for really cool Tzeentch stuff. Lots of weird warp fuckery and the Changeling is actually scary in it.

When bricky gets one on shy but shy wins the war

Why does Shy have a constant look of distress throughout most of the episode. Edit: NVM. Chaos encroaches.

Thank you all for another great episode, and thank YOU, Shy, for truly making it special, right to the last second.

What if the orcs just believed they understood tzeentch?

The voices, the shadows moving, all the things happening in the backround freaked me out a lot, great episode

tzeench definetly says all the gamer words on discord

I want to inform you all that All Guardsmen Party has been updated; there aren't new chapters, but the most recent one appears to be finished (i didn't read it, i just watched the page with the chapters' titles)

9 is the final number in our system before it changes from 1 digit to 2- 9 to 10. Birdfishbro is the changer of things- not the end but the precursor

I like watching the gradual evolution of DK becoming more familiar/rooted; & Bricky slowly becoming less & less based. Character development in its raw beauty. - Shy was, is, & always will be the equilibrium of just little guys -

"Shocking amount of NSFW goblin art" Not enough if you're into it

A shortstack goblin returning would be great lol

The Dark Magician approves of this episode! Dark Magic Attack! ✨TZEENTCH SUPREME✨
