40K - THE ADEPTUS MECHANICUS | Warhammer 40,000 Lore/History

[@Luetin09]

Glad to be back with another new vid, this one was quite the slog to produce but good to finish something long overdue. My goal for the rest of September is to produce a new video every week. Hopefully something that can be achievable, so stay tuned for more. If you have a topic you deseperately want covered - tell me in the comments as always. Please LIKE if you enjoyed

I have never played Warhammer. I have never witnessed a game being played. Yet, I find it’s lore, history, aesthetic & timespan to be so insanely enthralling that I am constantly watching & listening to Warhammer 40k lore videos. That’s how you know you’ve made something special. Great videos, I love the art displayed.

[@brandonkline1367]

20 years ago I found a book in the garbage can in my work's lunch room and thought, "hey that's a kick as looking suit off armor (armour, sorry)". So I pulled it out and read it. Ben Counter's Grey Knights Compendium. Then for 15 years I forgot about that wild universe until I found Leutin's videos and now I can't get enough of this blessed LORE!

[@dominicktomko6767]

I personally loved this passage of when the Emperor visited Mars for the first time; the tech-priests and others reaction to the arrival of the Omnissiah; as it gives us an insight into why the Mechanicum saw the Emperor as their God, a divine being: “A silhouette moved within the light, tall and powerful, glorious and magnificent. The light seemed to move with him and as Verticorda watched the figure descend the ramp, a shadow fell across the surface of the plain on which the craft had landed. Though he was loath to tear his gaze from the magnificent figure…light from the storm-wracked skies faded until the only illumination came from the figure as he stepped onto Martian soil for the first time. Verticorda felt the collective gasp from the thousands of spectators in his bones, as though the very planet shuddered with pleasure to know this individual’s touch. He looked back down and saw the warrior standing before him, tall and clad in golden armour, each plate wrought with the same skill and love as had been lavished upon his vessel. The warrior wore no helm and was fitted with no visible breathing augmetics, yet seemed untroubled by the chemical-laden air of Mars. Verticorda found his gaze dwelling on the warrior’s face, beautiful and perfect as though able to see beyond the armoured exterior of Ares Lictor and into Verticorda’s soul. In his eyes, his so very ancient eyes, Verticorda saw the wisdom of all the ages and the burden of all the knowledge contained within them. A crimson mantle flapped in the wind behind the giant warrior and he carried an eagle-topped sceptre clutched in one mighty gauntlet. The golden giant’s eyes scrutinised the blue-armoured form of Verticorda’s mount, from its conical glacis to the aventailed shoulder plates upon which the wheel and lightning bolt symbol of the Knights of Taranis was emblazoned. The warrior reached out towards him. ‘Your machine is damaged, Taymon Verticorda,’ he said, his voice heavy and yet musical, like the most perfect sound imaginable. ‘May I?’ Verticorda found himself unable to form a reply, knowing that anything he might say would be trite in the face of such perfection. It didn’t occur to him to wonder how the sublime warrior knew his name. Without waiting for a reply, the warrior reached out, and Verticorda felt his touch upon the joints of Ares Lictor’s knee. ‘Machine, heal thyself,’ said the warrior, the purpose and self-belief in his voice passing into Verticorda as though infusing every molecule of his hybrid existence of flesh and steel with new-found purpose and vitality. He felt the warmth of the warrior’s touch through the shell of his mount, and gasped as trembling vibrations spread through its armoured frame of plasteel and ceramite. He took an involuntary step back, feeling the movements of his mount flow as smoothly as ever they had. With one step, he could feel Ares Lictor move as though it had just come off the assembly lines, its stubborn knee joint flexing like new. ‘Who are you?’ he gasped, his voice sounding grating and pathetic next to the mighty timbre of the golden warrior’s voice. ‘I am the Emperor,’ said the warrior. It was a simple answer, yet the weight of history and the potential of a glorious future were carried in every syllable. Knowing he would never again hear words spoken with such meaning, Verticorda and Ares Lictor dropped to one knee, performing the manoeuvre with a grace that would have been impossible before the Emperor’s touch. In that moment, Taymon Verticorda knew the truth of the being standing before him. ‘Welcome to Mars, my lord,’ he said. ‘All praise to the Omnissiah.’” So there you have it. I can only apologise for the many paragraphs, but it gives you an idea at how GODLY the Big E appears to the people of Mars.

[@KillerOrca]

[@yaelz6043]

And yet it was all a lie and everything he built on his lie inevitably collapsed. He wasn't as golden God but a short non descript immortal despot with stolen warp power.

[@TorfenXII]

@@magpie5494 The Emperor is and was one if not the most powerful reality warpers in the entire galaxy. It's a fairly mundane thing to change reality to have a mechanical joint "be" in working condition, when you compare it to the other more fantastical things the Emperor has been described doing.

[@Flight_of_Icarus]

What always gets me, is that 40,000 years is such a mind bogglingly long amount of time. We sit here and mock Tech Priests for being "staggeringly ignorant" but if you were to actually compare what they would consider "baseline technological knowledge," the laws of physics and such, they would well and truly blow our modern scientists out of the water. A tech priest would have handy understandings of concepts that we don't understand ourselves right now. It's just they are unable to comprehend and innovate to the level of true Dark Age of Technology man, which is well and truly beyond us to an obscene degree.

[@logangodofcandy]

Tech priests are morons. They just do a bunch of plug n play Lego shit. Not being a tard is heresy

[@RewardedRocki]

Industrial maintenance here, I love the Mechanicus because I know exactly what they are going through. Here are a few examples: We run 25+ year old PLCs on a bunch of equipment and when they fault or "lock up" we can either try to navigate the hundreds of pages of old DOS based code to find one stuck bit and attempt to fix it (Which usually causes other problems) or we can just give it the ole "Siemens' Reboot" (Cycle power) and it will run until the next fault. When upgrading or replacing Variable Frequency Drives I started noticing that every single terminal on the drives were wired, even if it was for a relatively simple process. Also most of the drives had expansion cards for additional terminals, also all wired. I started tracing the wires out and found that usually 70 to 80 percent of them went to nothing, just dead ended on a terminal strip. When the drives were initially commissioned the installers just ran all the wires and then the engineers programmed the functions for whatever wire was next in line. So every time a drive had to be replaced the job was much more tedious and time consuming for no reason. But that is how the old one was wired so people wired the new one up the same way including expansion cards that were effectively useless. We have gantry cranes that operators are supposed to inspect before using, an operator found an issue and called us. When we boarded the crane with him, before he would show us anything, he went to a disconnect on one of the panels, turned it off, and locked it out. We asked him why he did that and he said his trainer told him to do that. He said he did not know what it did or why he had to do it but it was part of the inspection "ritual". The operator boards the crane to inspect the hoist cable, he was locking out the bridge function that has nothing to do with what he looks at. We asked his trainer about it and he said he did it because that is what his trainer told him to do. At least three generations of operator had been locking out a disconnect for no reason and they had no idea why or what it was for. It was just part of the "ritual".

[@2bHero69]

That is so very human, I love it! Little machine rituals. Thank you for sharing!

[@red_nikolai]

I used to be in a trade school for game dev as a programmer, and one time I had to teach a game design student how to use Git. I think I literally described it as a ritual to her: git status git add . git status git commit -m "Commit message" git push "git status" is not necessary but a good idea. The words don't need to make sense, just know that this is what you need to do. You can think of it like arcane spellcasting.

[@HCUhardcoreUnited]

Praise the Omnissiah. Glory to the Machine God.

[@CaptainMyron]

Civil Engineer here and i am going to expand on this. A lot of the necessary math and physics for structures has been automated though simulation programs and code-laws. A lot of the actual brain work that is required for understanding is buried in manuals and 600 pages of tomes of analysis handbooks that most in the market are unaware of. Most of the market works on specific applications and the only necessary knowledge is how to operate them. Universities teach really easy solutions and offer a basic understating, everything else is purely academic. So yeah, the adeptus mechanicus feels like a prophecy, can't wait for the age of Magi.

[@corymcdowell7295]

[@syncmonism]

The entire Mechanicus sountrack is absolutely AMAZING, and the sound design in general for that game is great as well. Never has a soundtrack for a game over-achieved so hard. It's not just great music which fits the mood of the game, it has such a unique sound that fits the setting so well, and sounds so good, it's like you don't even care if the game is good or not, you just want to keep playing so that the music won't stop! XD XD XD. To put it more seriously, the music actually sounds like it's a part of the game, brings the lore to life, and really adds to the immersion. Even without the music it's still a solid turn based tactical game.

I find the "downfall" or "decay" of the Mechanicum absolutely believable. We could hardly design a aircraft today without computer simulations, now apply this to a Valkyrie Dropship. I can also imagine AI comming up with technical solutions humans simply can not bend their mind over. Like a specific, weird, almost biological shape for a fuel injector plate in a rocket engine, or a strange microelectric circuit, that only works because somewhere in the layout magnetic fields overlap and if you try to build it any different it will simply not work.

But you are correct, I am not even an engineer and I am sure I could design a plane that would fly, after a couple hundred iterations of the design. Because with my understanding of technology and physics today, its simply not that hard. The point of Mechanicus though is that they simply dont have that understanding, they might not know about airflow around wings that creates lift and how that affects the plane, they just know that that exact shape works for that exact plane without understanding why.

[@jimdoe9827]

As @Jfk2Mr said some groups are more religious than others. Space marines tend in general to revere the Emperor as a man, not worship him as a deity. Take also into account that the Cult Mechanicus is a different religion than the Imperial Ecclesiarchy and Tech-Priests are exactly that priests, not of the emperor per sec, but of the Tiumviterate of the Machine God, the Motive Force and the Omnissiah. In this schema the Omnissiah is correlated with the Emperor, as literally the wisest human possible, the avatar of Knowledge. This is the extent of the common ground between the Cult Mechanicus and the Ecclesiarchy and accommodates a lot of juicy conflict and heretical implications.

There is some real world bases for this weird technology decay and stagnation. During the industrial revolution there was an equation for calculating power to machines from the main drive shaft from a water mill. This assumes that energy was like a fluid that flowed, completely wrong, but the math still worked. The original Tommy Gun was built under the idea that friction increases under some weird relation between pressure, wasn’t true at all and the gun was in reality just a standard blowback design but it still worked in spite of the principle not existing at all. So people can in fact make and operate something under a complete wrong idea on how it actually works.

I don't know about the gun, but the physics of energy transfer in a rotation shaft were figured out long before the industrial revolution. You can derive it easily from the first principles of Newtonian mechanics.

After watching for the first 20mins... i already can tell that i will be listening this multiple times. So much stuff coming in so quickly that I cannot absorb everything. Great work!

[@Manperor]

I freaking love these videos so much. I put them on in the background of whatever I'm doing and fill my nerd meter. Thank you for taking the time to create such great content ❤

[@johnsafox2]

Uploaded 3 minutes ago. My luck improves with every upload. And I was in the mood for something Mechanicus.

[@Streken7]

Aha, loremaster! You’re trying to sneak another masterpiece out at midnight, as if we wouldn’t notice! But we are always here, even when we should be joining the sleep gang

[@ryansmith6914]

I havent even started the video yet but when i sall that 1:50:51 time stamp i got excited, thank you for consistently good long form content. It realy is appreciated

[@pianospawn1]

Haha same. I thought "hopefully soon he'll edge his way toward 3hr vids"

[@user-wg3gc5uz1g]

Did the dragon of mars give big E the plans for the golden throne? Like a k’tan shard giving what is essentially the blueprints to a soul eating machine seems about right. Plus we know it’s partially Necron in design right?

[@user-wg3gc5uz1g]

C’tan

[@BlackMoonHowls]

@@user-wg3gc5uz1g Nice save there, editing didn't cross your mind?

[@free_at_last8141]

Very fun, thanks for another great video. I really enjoy this faction and imagining what it would be like to be a scientist in a Universe with demons, psychic powers, and possibly hostile AI fragments.

[@De_La_Evo]

Can you cover the major forge worlds? Id love more subfaction videos for the factions of 40k, the differences between them being some of my favorite lore nuances

[@Sayocakes]

Starting off with the mechanicus soundtrack ... Instant goosebumps

[@czeslawpi]

I would love a video on the Dark Mechanicum and if they can innovate?

[@RegardingAutomobiles]

I have not watched this yet but Luetin is the loremaster and AdMech is my favourite faction. I am pumped. Praise the Omnissiah.

[@TiberiusS182]

what about a deep dive on the history and inner working of the Ultramar realm

[@Dustind1211]

Awesome stuff!!! My brother and I were scouring KZbin for lore videos that were actually in depth for AdMech and came up quite lacking recently. This is what we wanted. Keep up the great work mate!

[@savant969]

Amazing work. Always felt that GW never gave Admech their due. Would love to see something about the Ordo Reductor - have done a ton of research myself but not alot of canon info out there.

[@UncleSarge]

Finally a 2 hour information block on my favorite faction. I hope i get to hear at least a little about my favorite "forgotten" unit the Thallax shock troop.

[@Luetin09]

sadly Thallax are part of the much earlier Mechanicum, but I agree awesome unit.

[@UncleSarge]

​@@Luetin09 Pre-heresy if I'm remembering right, and no indication of ever returning but lord they were dope. Fantastic video Luetin. Always a treat to see your videos, and especially on my favorite faction

[@satraelr.r.deihouwmarentar7901]

As a fan off the mechanicus ever since you introduced me to warhammer with your grey knights video… I can only say thank you Luetin for introducing me to this wonderful grim dark universe and dont feel rushed. Quality over quantity. Also, woohoo, mechanicus!

[@jmgonzales7701]

we need more for mechanicus

[@progeniesofthetoiletpaperh6433]

I hope we get a more in depth cover about Trazyn and Orikan. I know there's a lot of loretubers out there that covered them, but i like how Luetin completely dismantle the character's story and exploits.

[@AldrickExGladius]

Dude, this was amazing, as always. Great way to spend the last 107 minutes! And I look forward to falling asleep to it in the future.

[@albertovalcarenghi350]

One of my fav factions. We have been blessed with a 2 hrs video, glory to the Omnissiah

[@aSSGoblin1488]

42 years of age and i fell into a rabbit hole of lore. wtf

[@zayzo007]

& were all mad here!😂😂😎

[@thegametroll6264]

I hope you do or have done an indepth video about the astra militarum next. My gratitude for such a lengthy video on one of my favorite imperium factions other than the astra militarum the adeptus mechanicus. " Even in death, I serve the ominisiah." ❤

[@Retr0Kid]

Praise the Omnissiah! I had hoped this day would come to fruition. Bless you Luetin! 🙏⚙️💀💯

[@RexImperatorTerra]

A two-hour video on the AdMech - my cardio session today will be a physical hymn to the Omnissiah, praise be. One day please please do a video on the unsung heroes of the Imperium - the Administratum. If it wasn't for the byzantine bureaucratic horror that is the Admin, the Astartes wouldn't have bolter shells, the Militarum wouldn't have rations, and the xenos filth would overthrow an Imperium bereft of its mighty wallals of paperwork.

[@johnsmith8906]

Less than 1 minute in and already know it's going to be a banger.

[@LKLM138]

2 hours of Luetin! I didn't even notice I have been working while listening to this. Time flies...

[@Mordikay211]

Vulcan: "The flesh is weak but deeds may endure" Me: "Sure man easy enough to say for a litteral IMMORTAL!"

[@josekentucky86]

This is playing in the living room randomly, I'm busy working around the house, I've only been hearing snippets here and there. So confused as to what the hell I was listening to, sounds cool though. All i know about warhammer is that I've heard of it before, I'll be watching these videos now, the art is sick. Well presented video 🤘

[@DrEhrfurchtgebietend]

I have listened to all of your videos dozens of times and honestly this is one of your best. I have a strong preference for the pure lore; not really talking about the stories but a high level explanation of things

[@EnemyAtom65]

I'm a Fallout universe fan, so learning about 40k over the past month had been great. The Mechanicus is very... familiar...

[@CatTechSupport]

They are similar to the modern Brotherhood of Steel meanwhile Cawl is similar to the brotherhood of Fallout 1/2 and New Vegas.

[@EnemyAtom65]

@@CatTechSupport NV BOS reminds me more of 2's than 1's

[@CatTechSupport]

@@EnemyAtom65 That was Chris Avalon's plan to have them be an extension of Fallout 2's Brotherhood. Fallout 3 and 4's Brotherhood when asked about to the man that literally wrote the bases that Fallout uses as its cannon hates 3/4s rendition of them because it goes against he founding principles of it to the point Bethesda just retconned they're origin plan to spite his work and New Vegas spat in Bethesda's face uptil the TV show in which they took his writing for NV and destroyed it after every contract Chris Avalon signed has ended with the now very different Obsidian. Would recommend just about anything Chris Avalon has written because normally does a good to extremally well job.

[@MattyRlufc]

The Imperium / Mechanicus relationship is like the Romans / Socii (Allies) I'm ancient Rome. Essentially the Mechanicus is an independent federated constituent state of the Imperium with the other being that administered by the Administratum and the Ecclesiarchy

[@raidermaxx2324]

or like our brits, as an american

[@cookydemon444]

I don’t think there could any better way to start my Saturday morning than with a fresh Luetin vid running on my earphones 🎉

[@PaintingGoon]

Adeptus Mechanicus? More like.. Adeptus Leutinus. Nailed it.

[@dlodortyjobs5618]

Nearly two hours of exquisite lore.... perfect for a long drive today. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these

[@thebeaterdrumer]

Thank you for all these videos I've been obsessed with warhammer lore evers8nce I discovered your channel. It's absolutely amazing

[@Spiritryptamine]

Hey, I'm a little late to the party here, but I wanted to express how fond I am of subfaction related videos. It's so thrilling to learn about the ins and outs of say : the Grey Knights, the Death Korps of Krieg, the Mechanicus, the Adepta Sororitas, or the Legion of the Damned. Right now, all I'm hoping for is that you cover the Harlequins... Insane. Thanks for your blessed lore !

[@jesupcolt]

The Mechanicus kind of reminds me of real world cargo cults.

[@Irvosmith]

Cover whatever you want. All i know is the lore master speaks and I listen. Thank you as always

[@Bleiser3]

Great video as always Luetin! Thank you for your hard work! Best warhammer content out there!

[@karmacedon]

Great work big L. !!! I like videos you focus on imperial organisations , navigators, psykers , mechanics , inquisitors , etc .

[@FerreusIntus]

A blessing straight from the Emporer

[@tannmann999]

Love your work brother surpassed by no one. You are of the highest tier of loremaster long live the Luetin! Long live the God emperor of mankind!

[@ShiftySprinkles]

Praise the Algorithm

[@shawnhall9013]

Perfect video to listen to as i paint my kastellan robots. Thank you for the video LexMechanic Luetin

[@blakehorwill8454]

I always thought it an interesting idea that humanity relied so much on AI that most of this tec CANNOT be understood by anybody, let alone the mechanicus. The leaps in understanding from a synthetic brain that has ALL of humanities combined knowledge making creations unfathomable to humans.

[@Hrglspf]

Me too. The game Crying Suns is heavily rooted in this idea, I found it a really interesting story to play through

[@Mordikay211]

Just woke up on a saturday morning. 2 hour Luetin video with my morning coffee, let's go!
