What is Warhammer 40,000? | Timeline of 40k Lore 

ey i didnt know you liked warhammer, love your videos too :D

My guy, make a sculpt of literally anything 40k. Really love your content and happy you like Bricky, my beloved

There are so many goopy spoopy nids you could sculpt for Halloween season

@@noobhunter217 i would love some spooky scary necron bois, but ngl in 40k are a lot of things that goes good in halloween

This man understands!

Indeed. Getting hit in the head with a brick is what makes most people think playing warhammer isn't such a bad idea.

Actually, it's the serie "astartes" that got me into warhammer. But yeah I love bricky's warhammer video

yeah, him n the reactions to his videos have managed to drag me back kicking and screaming

I was attracted to the hobby by 2 things. Bricky's lore videos, and orks (specifically evil sunz)

Yes very much it was him in 2020 that got me in to Warhammer and I'm happy about it

Killing 99 lesser demons with Lasgun but turns out the last 1 is Greater Daemon or Chaos favourite Champion

that s indeed a sick line qutable for alot of things too would definetely use it if a new virus outbreak happens again

This is kind of important, why wasn't this mentioned?

@@radumotrescu3832 It's one of the parts of the lore that manages to exist but be entirely irrelevant to the modern lore. Remember that the soul stones are a technological replacement for the natural system that the birth of Slaanesh broke. It doesn't get mentioned a lot because 1) It isn't the modern state of the Eldar, 2)Most people forget about it because it has a replacement that works the same way only slightly different so they occupy the same memory unless you're really thinking about it

@@radumotrescu3832because it is an important detail for the fall of the Eldar, not for the entire history of 40K. That’s like asking why doesn’t school teach us about Matthew Perry in the United States? Well he is a big part of Japan’s history… but in American history, he’d be lucky to find himself a footnote.

Fo Sho

He's been uploading a lot of 40k on adeptice ridiculous

Who is Bricky? Do you mean John Warhammer?

I've never played 40k, not even a stand alone videogame. I still rewatch Bricky's Warhammer videos every so often.

​@@camiloandresbarretorojas7404If you're a fan of the XCOM series I would recommend checking out the Mechanicus game. If you're a fan of RTS's I would recommend the first 2 Dawn of War games. Lastly if you're a fan of Bomer Shooters I recommend Boltgun. Other than that, most Warhammer games are kind of eh to offensively bad.

Amen 🙏

I forgot that was "schlatt's" flavor

Sorry bro but RussianBadger already beat him to the punch

What's the song

@@korbanhooker7603 thank you, you chad.

@@korbanhooker7603 thanks man👍

Slaanesh's birth scream essentially blew away the warp storms that had isolated pockets of humanity and that had built up over the course of their increasing hedonism.

Was looking for this. The emperor was waiting for the storms to break and be blown away so they could do the crusade.

@@tlcronus Seems less that he waited for it and more that he got blindsided by it to me. I mean, he launched the Unification Wars and the Crusade with tech he'd basically scrounged up from behind the couch cushions in an incredible hurry. If he'd really been planning for this for thousands of years, he'd have been a lot better prepared. He was kind of like the student who's just realized that this paper is due tomorrow and it's 50% of the grade and he hasn't even started yet.

Another slight correction: Knorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle were not around in the War in Heaven. They came MUCH later, in fact more near our modern times. I believe Nurgle is the oldest (though apparently some sources place Khorne earlier still), truly forming from nascent energies during the time of the Black Plague on Earth. The rest came about later.

@@spamhere1123 It is implied that Khorne's initial "spark" emerged with the first murder.

But they can bé killed, they killed one at least, it just backfired badly when you kill an entity on which the universe rests upon

​@Bnvnu who was it?

@@rgama1173 Llandu'gor the flayer

@@Bnvnu Yes. And because of this the Necrons have the flayed ones. Not the best trade. ^^

@@Bnvnuthe exception proves the rule i guess

_Only_ 30ish minutes

Well, he DID skip everything between the horus heresy and the modern imperium. That's quite a lot of info. Stuff like the scouring, the great forging, the interregnum, the age of apostasy, the discovery and rediscovery of the t'au, the discovery of the tyrannids ang kryptman's exterminatus extravaganza, and of course the black crusades and the reawakening of the necrons. Hopefully a timeline vide of the age of imperium comes next

​@@1estel1ch.42sure, but as a first introduction to w40k? This is amazing, it sets the world well enough for you to have an idea of the major players, and you can tell that more stuff happened, it just wasnt covered, because if you cover some, why not the other?

Arbitor Ian has another aprox. 30 minutes break about it!

And she’s locked and loaded

Yup. Now remember what happens to real world children raised in environments with “no consequences” and we can start to see why and how things went so wrong.

I see what you did there lol as a copy of weshammer

I am Alpharius. This is a lie.

I saw that, it was an excellent little nod to the deeper lore

The bolt pistol to the head talking about the “true” number of primarchs is also top tier

Could you Tell me where I could find out about this?

​@@ifinnalychangedmyprofilepi4888their podcast adeptus ridiculous has an alpharious episode and like alpharious the podcast has lies ;^)

And oh what a flavor it is!

@@Idontevenwanachannel I just ordered 🤭

@@Nathesium I’m a simple man, I see abs, I buy

a good thing that he got it. you wouldn't catch me dead with these things but good for him

why? try talking with someone holding that and not making them uncomfortable.

While Darktide isn't the best of games, it damn well embraced the setting perfectly and gave us some amazing tracks.

Sk8ter (Bricky's editor) did a phenomenal job on this one! These two make a fantastic team when it comes to the pacing and overall vibe of these videos.

​@@simoncroft73the song at the end was from Darktide?

​@@gabrielchin4161I think it's called Immortal Imperium

@@antonytansom7877 thank you

Try the Lex, search for M41 - Events There you go. All the events collated from the codexes and books, on mostly one page

I second that!

and also mention the leagues of Votann

Please let this happen man

Would be wonderful. Although there’s a LOT to talk about and even this is a super quick run-through a bunch of stuff. I really recommend listening to his podcast, Adeptus Ridiculous, if you want more.

The warp storms that caused the Age of Strife can be more accurately viewed as the incubation of Slaanesh.

No better time than right now. The new patch is a huge step up.

It's seriously fucking awesome right now, I couldn't stop playing it, even in my dreams.

Orcs are fun. But the Krork were actually the MAIN reason the necrons “Noped” out after the war in heaven. A species that gets stronger and more intelligent the more war you give it??? Yeah, screw all that. The silent king decided to let the Eldari keep assassinating all the most powerful Krork for millions of years, and denying them open confrontation. Which led to a de-evolution of the Krork race into orcs. Denied anyone but themselves to fight, and their best and brightest constantly being assassinated… It was a problem after 60 million years of Eldari “containment” programs. Fortunately for the orcs, the Nids are giving them a “propa fight” and certain orc strains appear to be evolving forward once more. Not to the point they used to be. An ancient Krork would be MORE than a match for any space marine. But enough to be different from the usual orc hordes.

He did cover Orcs a few times on Adeptus Ridiculous.

kroks are literally 2 time the size of a primarch, Ghazkull is already and half Krok by this standard and he is still growing@@ghironsingh

Came here for this comment! Just subscribed to bricky and immediately thought Amazon prime could just refer to him!

Give or take about 10k years

30k was when Imperium was a fascistic empire hellbent on manifesting destiny across the galaxy with legions of gene enhanced warriors.(Also the Imperium was just better off, no threats 20 primarcs +Emperors and millions of astartes.) 40k Imperium a post fascistic theocratic society which literally collapsed beyond repair after the Heresy, clinging to life in a constant fight or flight reflex that is willing to sacrifice everyone to sustain its existence.

​@@kesmeseker9593honestly? Well put

@@kesmeseker9593 a note on 30k, I get the feeling that many of the upper echelon of Imperium command was more on the "true-believer" vs "cynical opportunist just out for personal gain" side of this Imperiums Ideology, and also for that reason this empire was hellbent on manifesting destiny across the galaxy, Not and excuse or disagreement with you calling it fascist (its appropriate), I just think calling both 30k and 40k facists, misses alot of nuance of how different the two where,

Both settings are grimdark, but the 30k guys haven’t realized it yet.

What was the music he used at the end

​@@Icemage25Immortal Imperium

Just wanted to say thank you. You didn't have to break down the timeline but it's very helpful for a 3rd person kinda on looker into 40k. There's so many events and major moments it's kinda hard to tell EXACTLY when they happen without direct purchase of books, audible. Etc. Thanks Brick

Every time I hear the Tekken soundtrack it makes me laugh, cheeky bastard XD

I read '' chaos '' instead of cohosts I think there's some horus heresy going on.

yo u may wanna censor at 17:01, might've slipped thru in the edit

Well. Gonna go play some Darktide now. 😆

The minute the montage of "There is only war" popped up, I got so hyped

"That weapon in your hand has killed 99% of the Alien population in this galaxy! Unfortunately for you, you're fighting the remaining 1%!"

You should check out the pinned comment sir, he is involved in a whole podcast all about 40K. Plenty to slack the lore thirst and they've been at it for...jeez is it almost three years? Lol lots to listen to and discover

Well thank you good sir! I can't believe I missed that. Sure is a lot of content to go through holy shit. I will be locking myself in for a while. Thanks again!

Same. I never got into the table-top game, so I didn't think there'd be much left for me in Warhammer without that I don't think I've ever been so wrong before lol

He really went far with it

From what i understand that is true but Slaanesh's gestation from the Eldar's debauchery was effectively heralded by the excess warp storms and his/hers actual birth and the resulting death of 90% of the Eldar cleared the storms up

I don't know if you know this but bricky is on a podcast calls adeptus ridiculous where he goes over warhammer lore in a very simplistic and casual manner. I personally enjoy it quite a lot.

@@baldrtheboulder8927 I do but never started listening to it yet, thanks ✨🌸💖

A little bit more info about how the C'tan came to be. The Necronty basically made them. Ther were barely sentient, eating only from the energy of stars, as he said in the video, but the Necrontyr found them, and put them into machine bodies with very advanced AI, to give them sentience, and it all went down from there

When you realize that every faction and everyone within the factions is a shade of gray, it becomes much simpler. At that point it's really about breaking it down into chunks and going from there.

i'd recommend darktide. it had a rough launch but i can finally say its at a good point to give it a go. i hear it's like left for dead, for reference

@@ExtraRaven_it’s essentially left for dead with a warhammer reskin overtop.

Mate, that's the exact same way I got into Warhammer. Difference being is now I play Space Marine, Vermintide 2, Darktide, and Arma 3 with a ton of mods

"I'm gonna burn these Xeno's like I burned the custody papers!"

@@Yolboc “It says we can’t do that in the Codex!” “WELL I CAN’T READ!”

From what I can see in this fandom there are people that take the game too serious. Some take offense and want to change it, others take it to heart in a bad way. Bricky got the right mentality.

​@@GsusCrustI have to say that it was Bricky who got me to embrace 40k lore (outside of Orks and Kriegsman, because those are both meme gold) but he made me actually understand and embrace the depths that I had previous felt were just derivative)

You should look up adeptus ridiculous, that's a.o. bricky going more in depth with lore

Dude there are literally so many. Luetin09 for instance.

tbf Leutin is a big less bombastic then Bricky.@@trazyntheinfinitearchivist7866

​@@trazyntheinfinitearchivist7866I think he's referencing Bricky's podcast Adeptus Ridiculous

@@gabrielchin4161 Ah. My bad. Didn't see the sarcasm.

I feel called out.

@@gabrielchin4161 I should hope so! If I project any harder trying to convince myself I don't enjoy watching vtubers from time to time, i'll turn into a movie theater! 🤣🤣

Couple other details to know: Humanity's primate ancestors were also made by the Old Ones, the War in Heaven ended when a Warp race known as the Enslavers showed up and either killed or chased off most of the Old Ones and their races, and the Emperor was born by a bunch of ancient human shamans seeing the threat of Chaos and ritualistically sacrificing themselves to make the Emperor to fight them. Oh, and the Orks were once the Krorks and were, at minimum, 12 metres tall*. Yes, Metres. But (supposedly) a lack of good fighting de-evolved them. *For context, a Warboss that was at least 10 metres tall was powerful enough to lead a Waaagh! that almost destroyed the entire Imperium. They even managed to invade Terra. Have fun!

What’s up in france?

He has a podcast called Adeptus ridiculous where he goes over all parts of 40k lore like this video, and has episodes on that
