Regarding the Necrons, I feel some nuance is lost: Yes, their bodies are resilient and easily repaired. As long as their civilization stands, that is true. However, I'd argue their "lifespans" becomes more about the state of their minds, and it is said that for each restoration from "death" their mind-engrams slightly degrade (whether this is just for Warriors or a general rule I don't know) - This means that they slowly tend towards being an inert, lobotomized husk as they exist. In addition, the risk for madness, succumbing to the destroyer-virus or accidental exposure to the flayer-virus is nearing 100% as time goes towards infinity. They are also dependent on having an uplink to a functional Tomb World, and they can also be punished by having their reanimation-privileges revoked.
Necrons attacked the old ones over the secret of immortality. Old ones' answer? Making an immortal, brutal ork race that has no business being immortal. I dont know if thats a chad move or just a cruel joke
I like to think that the Old Ones' secret for immortality was dependent on the Warp, so the Necrontyr were incapable of taking advantage of it. For their part, the Necrontyr refused to believe them, and saw the further evidence of the Eldar and Krork as more evidence of the Old Ones being dicks.
Honestly, the only reason why people would think you're a hack is that they don't want to admit that someone could like Warhammer, hygiene, and the gym.
I fucking hate the gym. If it would be full of Majorkills I would love it. But I don't have a gym like that nearby. The one that recently closed was full of thugs, and weird people, who were doing solarium so much, that they were as dark as an indian. The girls did the same, but they were all bleached blonde beside being that "tanned". It was weird, it had medicine smell, so fuck no.

I'd thought part of the reason for chaos space marines ageing so little was meant to be that time is moving much more slowly for them in the eye of terror, in the same way that ships can disappear in the warp and reappear decades or millenia later with the crew only experiencing a few weeks.
It‘s not so much that time goes slower, it just goes real fucky wucky It can go like you described, or the other way around where the ship is lost for decades only to come out the other side like a second later real time, and that‘s without even mentioning how you can even end up arriving before you left, so it‘s even possible to time travel back In conclusion, the warp was designed by tzeench, because it‘s a massive headache to even try to think about, much less comprehend
I am pretty sure that is part of it. Space Marines for themselves can live for thousands of years and warp f*ckery does its own to possibly extend - or maybe lower - that lifespan. If I recall there was a discussion between Chaos Space Marines, one of the "current time" and one hailing from the heresy. The one from the heresy stated that for him the great war against the empire was only a few centuries ago, despite having happened 10.000 years back for the other marine. So, yeah. Never underestimate warp-f*ckery, kids! I think I heard that one in one of Luetin's videos concerning time and the warp and it was a really interesting piece of lore and analysis!
I remember reading that some of the chaos space marines just float around in the warp, like they are just in stasis, and for them no time at all passes, but like they are dreaming. More like they are part of their god, and they get summoned when they are needed.
How can Malekith be the oldest elf when his mother is still kicking too. They are the oldest in existence, if you don't count the mages inside the Vortex because they are outside reality, but Morathi is still older.
@@Michael-bn1oi that's what I said xD That said, Morathi's age is unknown, shes from the time of Aenarion and Caledor, but when Aenarion found her, she's already a really powerful sorceress, hinting that she might be older than she looks. It's quite probably that she's even older than Caledor.
Wasnt the Big E born 8.000BC? Which would make him around 50.000 years old in the current setting. I am wondering if Timmy did your math right there :)
10:30 Thing with Chaos marines is the amount of "time"* that passes in the warp and the amount of time that passes in realspace have no correlation. *Strictly speaking the amount of time that passes in the warp has no relationship with the amount of time that passes in the warp either.
And now, thanks to the great rift the amount of time that passes in one part of real-space can also have little to no relationship with the amount of time that passes in another part of real-space.
@@bonanlin4972 sounds an awful lot like what happens near a black hole, what with space-time bending or some shit to the point that time moves faster or slower, depending on distance...
Yeah, but it works both way. Night lords novel mentions that Talos is nearly 300 years old despite taking part in siege of Terra, but there are marines who already lived 50k years after the heresy. I would like to read about 50 thousands years old chaos space marine who get tired from all this eternal war shit and just chilling around
From what I recall of the Tau lore, the ethereals aren't immortal, they just live a bit longer than normal tau (probably because healthcare and shit). Also, shadowsun is as old as she is mostly due to constantly popping in and out of cryostasis, as the ethereals basically just stuff her into cryo between campaigns at this point. Probably also health care though.
if a captured ork chose to fight his literal jail cell, would he live forever? if an ork just started punching itself could it sustain its life force indefinitely ?
To be honest, it becomes less about physical immortality and more about the state of your mind. Things like the destroyer-virus, the flayer-virus and simply engram-degeneration over time can make the proudest Necron Lord lose themselves. What point is there to an immortal body, if that immortality is spent in madness or just as a lobotomized twitching husk. Yes, they are "alive", but... I'd fear such a fate more than mere, final death.

Man lives on non compliant garden world during the heresy: "I could conceivably live for a century" Lion El Jonson notices the planet exists *sweating in fear of global extermination intensifies*
Eisenhorn said himself in hereticus the third book in the series that he was considered to be middle-aged. He was like 100 plus something at that point.
"The best example is the Emperor, who is 42 thousand years old" Actually he's much older, he's like 47-48 thousand years old, since h'es been conceived by the council of ancient terran shamans around thr 8th millennium b.C.
@@majorkill Ok, that makes sense. I'm ok with trimming the sides on my own, but I wouldn't touch the hair on top of my head because I'd mess it up for sure.
Throwing in a correction about the Dark Eldar, there are many Haemonculi that pre-date the Fall and can claim to be older than Vect. The Haemonculi are the original BDSM sluts that set up Commarragh in the first place, and Ancient Haemonculi from those days still exist. But they use cloning and regeneration and all manner of other stuff to survive, so maybe you don't class that as a natural life span.
O great majorkill bless me with your man stick so I can pass my diving test so I can drive to my local miniature store so I can spend my life savings on plastic crack
In 40K its depends on ones socio-economic status and life style similar to reality but taken to the extreme at least for your base line humans. (most Guardsmen, Underhive dwellers die young, regular people live just a bit longer while the Rich and Powerful live give or take a few hundred years.) Astartes live for centuries, if they can live peacefully a few thousand, in Dreadnoughts almost Indefinitely. For Mechancus it also depends on their rank but they can live for a very long time comparable to Astartes because of their implants. The Eldar can live for Thousands of years with the current oldest being Tens of thousands of years old Necrons are Immortal, Chaos Marines live indefinitely especially with Mutations. Tau live basically on the same rates as humans. Tyranids live very short lives (give or take a few hours or days depending on the lifeform) with the exception of Norn queens and Hive tyrants which are basically immortal. For Orks its literally a roll of the dice as some can live for centuries.
Watching all the lore videos really makes me want to get into the tabletop game... then I remember I don't have that kind of cash or friends who are into stuff like that. Feels bad. But the comedy in MK's videos makes the lore fun enough.
Back in 5E (2008) a friend of mine who'd played Chaos since 3E got butthurt that loyalist SM captains also got buffed to WS6 (it wasn't always a flat "to hit" goal, kids) alongside Chaos Lords, which brought our college cafeteria nerd-argument around to the "passage" of "time" in the Warp. Despite what it says on sidereal calendars, the vast majority of Chaos SMs are not "10k year veterans" and should be equal to their Imperial counterparts because: 1: the vast majority of Chaos Lords encountered *are* captains and chapter masters who turned within an average Astartes lifetime and have never been to the Eye of Terror (i.e. Lufgt Huron, and he was an exceptional CM and reluctant renegade). 2: of those who actually remember the Horus Heresy, most have just lived a twisted version of a slightly-longer-than-average Astartes life. Few of them actually have more combat experience than the average Terminator, none have more than Dante, Grimnar, and the average VenDread. This group is already represented in rules and lore: they make up the majority of Chosen in Legion-derived warbands. 3: the very few who did take an active role in the "Long War" for most of its duration also have rules and lore: they're called demon princes, with 5 canon exceptions (Kharn, Lucius, Typhus, Ahriman and Topknot the PlotSpoiler).
Aging is not a flaw in the genome per-se. All complex structures degrade over time, organic tissue is no exception to this. The only biologically immortal organisms on earth are very basic invertebrates. They do not form complex, specialized organs that need to maintain a specific cellular structure.
@@Mark-in8ju some tyranids lifeforms such as the rippers lack alot of organs such as a stomach due to how simple they need tl be to be mass produced. so I do think alot of tyranid lifeforms have a very "simple" biology, wich at the very least help with their natural lifespand, now as for them reaching anything close to 1 year or anything, that's really up to spéculations
I heard some HERESY about a Grey Knight who fought his way through the Warp to Slaneesh and when he was about to slay her with his big hot flamming sword she dropped to her knees and sucked him off so hard his armor turned chrome and he's been her Simp Knight ever since Is it possible? A Grey Knight corrupted
I read somewhere that the max lifespan a none augment human can live with reju treatment is 400 years ish. And you aren't in top shape when you reach it.
Nids also jump into the gestation pools to be dissolved back into raw biomass upon a victory, the ‘characters’ are recycled and given new life with a similar semi-personality when needed
Ah but there was a drawback to the species you could grind up, Majorkill: if you take it while sick then, once it wears off, you’ll be in a worse state then you were before taking it, usually _right on_ the threshold of death. For example: say an imperial noble has cancer. He takes this miracle cure and feels good for a while, then it wears off and all of his servants get to watch as he grotesquely morphs into a pile of sentient tumors and quivering cancerous flesh.
Don't know if you're taking vid suggestions. If you are, imperial commissars would be a good one. Probably enough material there, Yarrick, Cain, Gaunt, etc. I can just imagine the fragging jokes and about whether or not they actually help or hurt morale. Might even talk about the guard's morale for a while and whether or not commissars are even necessary. Like maybe not for a unit like the Kriegers.
Your eldar waifu will die of sadness after your death. Your space dad will also not let you see her in space heaven because she's being used to power a ship.
I'd say titans are far from immortal, since they stop waking up with age. At some point they'll just not wake up at all. While yes, they are technically alive in there, they're functionally dead.
Hey. I only came to inform everyone that he did it. The angry aussie have finally reached 248 000 subs and overtaken OMS. Its been a long road from the War of the Beard video, but he finally did it.

A lot of problems in The Imperium come from the fact that the rich and powerful can live basically forever and refuse to give up any of their power, resulting in the stagnation and regression the Imperial society is known for. Nobody has to worry about their legacy or improving things for people who aren’t them because they expect to live basically forever. So the old people linger and the young blood dies off and nothing ever gets better
Eh not really imperial nobles sometimes do a LOT of babies soo much that as a rite of passage they send them into underhives to do certain stuff find some cool tech or kill X number of xenos/humans/mutants/whatever or basically do a battle royale underhive edition to see which one returns victorious which will then become nobles and successors to their bloodline
Hey man I just bought a majorkill mini, I literally have never supported a RU-vidr with $ before this, I really do enjoy you content and as your not just begging for free money on patreon(or not just I should say :p) and you actually give a quality mini I thought I'd support the channel, plus I collect chaos aos so it's a win win
Blacked out drunk. The only way to preserve this thought of capturing, and enslaving the necron "alive", and harnessing them as batteries ala The Matrix, was to to post it here. That shit sounds awesome. I didn't put question in front of my question because it wasn't a question! I'm not queef AF! Lol!
