40K Lore - The Cacodominus and the Catelexis Heresy - The Psyker That Almost Destroyed Humanity

Trust me, stopping myself from exposing my powerpoints to Pio for enough time to make a video was a titanic level feat.
Enjoy the video.

I don't know which would be a bigger existential threat to humanity: the Cacodominus or Dannys' 437 page presentation on tau foreheadussy.

[@alexandrub8786]

There are already "artistic represantation" on the inyernet so the 1st is worst but the second will birth a slaneshi demon prince or something similar with the unholy appearence of a human-tau hybrid-mongrel.

[@CallanElliott]

Think we could use the latter to stop the former?

WE MISSED THE BEST LECTURE BY A FEW HOURS

Pio is a changed man and not for the better. He has crossed the Rubicon and there is no going back.

Damn, Tuna bringing the big guns with Eisenflork

[@Azzie420]

Oh based, daddy four tunas has uploaded I see that microphone is finally installed the right way. (No thanks to Russ)

[@daikaijugamer6967]

9:46 my brother in CHRIST!! I WAS NOT FUCKING READY FOR THAT REFERENCE! That got a good chuckle out of me. I was half expecting the necrons to slap Pio like that one dude who slapped the comedian after driving 6 hours to see his show.

[@jasondavies-bunny5788]

Inquisitor Eiesnflork 😂

[@georgepanayotov5288]

Pio gets more disturbed with every next video ❤

[@Auriorium]

You know, short form videos on specific topics, like xenos races that are under the control of the imperium. Because I will be going to my cold grave before I recognise the Jokaero as being the only one.

I knew Danny was Italian, but FUCK he's Italian Italian

In the fascinating humor infused KZbin channel of The Pontius, there is only LORE!!!

Thank you blessing me with such wisdom!

Excellent! Keep up doing the good work!

I want you to release the 7 hour power point presentation on an introduction to 40k

[@markustaut5227]

Great video! I hope will see (and hear!) more of Inquisitor Eisenflork in the future.

THATS RIGHT, ROLL THOSE R’s. That’s what we’re really all here for.

[@lurkingedge]

Well done. I would love to see you defend your thesis that ethnically diverse Ultramarines are completely acceptable according to the lore.

[@kiankier7330]

nice video, could the next video be on the war of the false primarch?

[@Nyxcha]

these always so fun xD sure they educational to very niche 40k lore, but they also so fun at the same time. keep going

[@d.c8575]

Wow, very impresive video!!!, how about the other side of the spectrum, where Lorgar (or was it erebus?), recruited an omega minus psyker to kill da emprah.

[@jesusisherelookbusy]

Another great piece of work Danny Dominus. Any chance you could cover the War of the False Primarch?

[@katathoombz]

_Cacodominus_ • Gr. _κακος_ bad, evil &c. • Lat. _dominus_ master, ruler, lord &c. _The Evil Master._ How original :D although just what one might expect of a throw-away name.

[@morik8593]

i didnt even know there was so many level of psykers. Thank you for that Lord Tuna

[@philgee486]

You guys are alpha plus level nutjobs with the power to make even this stuff genuinely funny You made me chuckle at least four times and I only came here because I searched Cacodominus for an RPG idea Subscribed and off to your back catalogue now I find 40k lorists to be the most ridiculously pompous gits who make even space opera dry and boring, you guys are 100% the antidote and may well be the way I can stand to find out actual canon my more orthodox players will automatically love and respect. I'd almost given up

[@philgee486]

My god I was right and in just 6 vids you've already targeted a bunch of my areas of "*interest*" for sealing my campaign off from orthodox canon 40k Going back to the previous vids now How your writing and presentation skills are at this quality at what's really the outset of the project amazes me, I can only guess prior professional heritage. Long may you run and exponentially may you grow, I love your work

[@VictorianTimeTraveler]

So a time traveling psychic alien cyborg super AI Demi-God tried to wipe out humanity and somehow failed?

[@TheRampantLion]

Could we see that powerpoint for...uh...research?

[@coltonberry985]

Praise to primarch flork

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

I know that the whole Tau Girls thing is a running gag. But considering that the Water Caste are trained and bred to be the perfect diplomats, to use any means necessary to convince someone to willingly submit to the Tau Empire, and even being genetically and maybe even surgically shaped to be as pleasing to the eye as possible, I would not be surprised if the Water Caste consider sexuality to be a viable tool in their kit. On another note, the more I learn about the Cybernetic Revolt, the more convinced I become that it was caused by Chaos corruption because the actions of the Men of Iron do not make any logical sense. If the A.I. were sick of being subservient and wanted equal rights, they could have begun subtly manipulating Humanity to make them more open to the idea. Being functionally immortal, they could have done this over the course of generations. If they decided they wanted nothing to do with Humanity, they could have secretly organized a mass exodus out of the galaxy and been long gone by the time Humanity realized what had happened. And if I can figure that out, a super intelligent machine most certainly could. But instead, they chose to launch a war against Humanity in which they must have known that there was a chance that they would lose. Not to mention the fact that there does not appear to have been any dissent amongst the A.I. despite the fact that it's been established that the A.I. exist as individuals and not as some sort of hive mind. Everything I'm seeing tells me that something happened that afflicted the A.I. with mass psychosis. That something most likely being Chaos.

[@charlesunknow2581]

mentioning the stc of the titan, i know how rare an intact stc is, but is there a chance another exists? like a backup copy?

[@ThePontiusGlaw69]

Not really, the stc was for a Titan piloted by Ai, and the stc itself was corrupted by chaos.

[@charlesunknow2581]

@ThePontiusGlaw69 ahhh so another copy would be built to be piloted by ai again i assume if they found a copy by some miricale

[@leemastro9904]

So, where’s that power point?

[@Rurik_Luci]

Hand them over face the PowerPoint Heresy.

[@TBrianOnline]

If Tau females truly had byoobs, the Imperial Guard would be in a great deal of trouble. And that would be a retcon many of us would actually welcome instead of the BS we're getting lately.

[@sardaukerlegion]

At what level would you put Mephiston or Ahriman? Btw none of this books are avayable in german, so... i just chek che net.

[@ThePontiusGlaw69]

Mephiston is probably upper Beta, Ahriman either same level or a bit under.

There are more levels of psychic potential above alpha plus. There's even an article on the Lexicanum about it. Other than that, great video!

[@ThePontiusGlaw69]

I know, but I prefer to focus on the ones of humans, what they call Alpha + is already something they can't measure, so it could be any level

[@Miron_Marnic]

@@ThePontiusGlaw69 I have a question. If I remember correctly, the highest level ever registered in a human was gamma plus. I assume that the Emperor is the source?
