[@qiushuang239]

Rubashow Orks in WH40K have something known as a crowd mentality, as in, if a mass mob of Orkz believe something to be true. Such as painting a wagon red makes the wagon go faster, it will eventually becomes real if enough orks believed in it, this is the reason why Orkz are so resilient and can make weapons out of a pile of scrap. Now if enough orks believe that painting themselves purple makes them sneakier, it will eventually become true as orks starts to appear out of nowhere in purple armor.

The best part about your videos Arch is that I can come back and reward the old content over and over and over again. I've seen this one at least 4 times I think.

[@Commentoidiota]

The way I introduced my friends to the 40k lore was by starting with the base alien species (not the 'nids though) and then the Imperium. I told them the story of the different Primarchs stopping before the Heresy, and not telling them what happened at the council of Nikea. After that I started with the Council, and the major events of the Heresy. Then I talked about the aftermath of the Heresy, the second founding, and the black crusades. I think it is a good way to explain the Horus Heresy. I also took care of explaining the primarchs in their chronological order of discovery, so that when a primarch met another and something cool happened (like the Lion sucker-punching the Wolf King) I would tell about it during the tale of the second primarch to be discusset (Lion El'Johnson in this case) Hope that makes enough sense

Don't know if You didn't know that or didn't find it relevant to the topic, but Konrad Curze name is based on Joseph Conrad, a Polish writer and a character in his most famous work "Heart of Darkness", Kurtz who is an ivory trader from Europe that set himself up as a demigod to local African tribes and forged a shortlived empire based on the natives' fear of him and his technology. Quite a few similarities to the Primarch. It's also noteworthy that the novel also inspired the cult classic movie "Apocalypse now", which in turn contains the iconic scene of Air Cavalry conducting a raid to the tune of Ride of the Valkyries that itself was copied several times, eg. in James Cameron's "Avatar" or the anime/manga "Gate: and thus the JSDF fought there". All in all, Conrad Curze is a part of quite an extensive tree of shoutouts.

I remember when I first found your videos it was your bretonnia lore video a year ago. That was the first of many of your videos I would watch and your pretty much the reason I'm into both Warhammer fantasy and 40k. But the whole point of this comment was to just thank you for introducing a newcomer so well to this amazing universe.

[@Kalnafein]

Ave Dominus Nox!

[@soccerandtrack10]

hello.

[@magimon91834]

Arch, I must say once again you take rambling and turn it into a masterful style of storytelling like you always do. this video is amazing it took a character that I always kind of disliked one that I never really had too much love of and made me understand him and in that understanding love him. I hope you keep on making these this was great

[@aeranthial439]

no spoilers I came here for arch Warhammer audio books

[@JoeHammerGaming]

excellent video can I have some more please?

[@Weephoot]

Excellent video as always Arch, looking forward to more primarch stories.

[@BaBaBonkerz]

Thanks for always putting in so much effort man. Really is awesome to sit down after a hard day and listen to a lore vid.

Cloaker you mean the thought gangsters

[@strangerlucky5753]

Almost like in Cuba lol

[@TheM3MoRi3z]

WOW! THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD!! I reaaaally enjoyed that. Being a more superficial fan of warhammer 40k, I don't usually read the books or dive heavily into the lore. I use Arch for that, and he definitely fulfilled that in this video among all his other awesome lore videos. Wooot for Arch! :DDD happy 40k subs!

[@johnathanblackwell9960]

By far your best video to date!

[@Jarppih]

Listened to this twice now. Keep them coming, dude. I'll promise to watch every one of these.

[@amaniandrus260]

i can just see this guy slow walk hunting some guy running shitless for his life

[@squizmasterzero9342]

By far your best lore video. i've watched this to many times :)

[@Safeguard1]

This lore is beyond funny, I'm seriously dying! "Murder-f**k my boss." OMG

[@BioroidPilot]

Hey I just wanted to thank you for making these. a friend who was into 40k got me to look around and the emperor had a text to speech device became my first experience. after watching I wondered more about the lore and came across these, my first being your explanations on melee weapons. and thanks to this I have been getting more and more into 40k as of late. so thank you for making them

[@Hellsong89]

Only things that got me into this was Archs voice+ the absolutely hilarious way he presents things, with out giving shit about political correctiveness an i do like the kinda dark, gore, but hilariously comedic lore of this universe, where others seem rather sterile in comparison... i thought star wars was dark with its slave traders, organized crime, drugs, war, corruption and so on.... but then i heard about 40k universe, bloody hell my definition of dark got upgraded and fast!XD I do like the art on the video, but thanks to length of these lore videos, i can do so much crafting while just listening and laughing my ass off, with out need to come on pc to chance next video all a time...

[@grizzly3260]

I can not say how much I love this video,I have heard it close to a hundred times . It was the first video i ever watched on 40k and the first Arch video aswell. I want to thank you Arch for such a masterpiece of wording,Its what made me a lover of 40k and a fan of your s.

[@duhman360]

An hour of Arch lore!? Praise be to the emperor!

[@codycronauer1256]

Watching this video in its entirety, I was rendered in utter focus, awe, and interest. Nearing the conclusion I came to the realization that, this is the reason I have come to love/hate KZbin. I love the fact that anyone with a computer, internet connection and a love for a hobby; can make a video that I will find enjoyable, entertaining and will make me look forward to more content from these creators. And the fact that KZbin has made its future focus to limit, demonetize, isolate/throttle or even completely de-platform the very people that have brought them to be what they are today, infuriates me to no end. Impeccably amazing video Arch, you have earned a subscriber and fan.

[@cyberguy3376]

I like this guy's way of thinking

[@sigismunddorn4617]

That title goes to The Lion hehe :P

[@reinerackerman8681]

Bravo Good sir. This is one of thee most amazing lore videos I have seen on KZbin. It's kinda scary that I relate to the night hunter in some ways...

[@mattward4916]

Praise Tzeentch a new lore video, and it's over 1 hour

[@Hyperdin]

One of your best pieces so far, Arch. Keep up the good work!

[@barrybend7189]

Damn Konrad makes sinestro look tame by comparison.

[@HUinstinct]

Arch you are an amazing storyteller. You are now the source of all my bedtime stories because i can't fall asleep without one.

[@NodDisciple1]

Will you ever do a vid on Gavriel Loken?

[@karkkosvolfe]

Arch should keep making videos

[@yesmlord9483]

Ever thought about doing lore (History) on Games Workshop itself?

[@moistmoist8067]

the night hAunter war/russian/aidan/doctor/doyle Ugghh I came while reading that.

[@naggash5348]

I grew up with the games workshop universes, had to drop it cause life/shit happens, i'm finally able to get myself into this again and oh boy does internet makes it better, these lore videos you make might be my favorite things to listen to. It feels like i'm catching up with the past. Bought whole new hobby gears and painting while listening to these vids are the most peacefull stase i have achieved in a fucking decade. Thanks.

[@robyoung1519]

Great video Arch. Honestly didn't care for Curze, but then the Horus Heresy novels happened... Now I'm thinking little Konrad's almost hilarious in his own twisted kind of way

[@chrisclough3117]

Holy fucking shit! That was a fucking amazing story! And, I feel it necessary to say, that it was masterfully told, especially for a summary! The best way for me to illustrate the quality of the storytelling is, as strange as it may seem, by talking about my mouth. My mouth was constantly shifting, due to my rapt brain's involuntary need to process the emotional extremes it was envisioning, in just about every way one can think of. Just about every emotion, from happiness to dread, pensive to inspired, had to be expressed by my face and mouth regardless of my awareness of such things. The telling was so simple, yet so visceral. (Of course, I admit that the content of the story itself did have a lot to do with my liking it, mind you from a psychological thought-experimenter's perspective, to be sure.) Thank you. You've made my week. This is a story I'll remember for a very long time!

[@RomanianReaver]

Actually Conrad is more like The Shadow than Batman

[@kennethbedwell5188]

Even though this is a year old this is an amazing review Arch. I really hope you do a similar one's on the more interesting Primarch's

[@executorvarkathblack2715]

I hour lore video about a SINGLE character...............It's gotta be Arch's birthday, now to round up the heretics who thought that 1 hour lore videos are dead and give them some eye candy worth shoving up their arse.

[@Akaryusan]
