I love Warhammer 40k Orcs so much. Humans: "We need to spend a psyker slave to death in order to protect ourselves from the horrors of the Warp." Orcs: "Ship's got teefies to scare da demons off."

[@TheBassManBoy]

And if it doesn't scare them off that's just some in-flight entertainment. Dem demons gettin' a krumpin', theys iz.

[@Lightscribe225]

Scare em? No! Orks welcome daemons getting onto the ship so they don't get bored.

[@MegaShadow91]

Imagine being a bloodletter of Khorne, you see a random ship flying through the warp. It's not human though, it's very weird like a bunch of junk cobbled together. But you're a daemon so you don't know or care about that. You feel there's no protective field so you jump in. You materialize somwhere on the ship and all you get to see in the semi darkness lit by a few barrel fires is a glimpse of some weird green things with huge teeth before your head gets bashed in with a spiky hammer as a nob laughs his ass off at you.

[@franciscomoutinho4390]

ah, dis git ain't reely a propah lad, "daemon" just humie wankah' words, propah ladz iz callin dem "Weird fings wif da spoikes," addz da fayv or dat the Boss wantz

[@mcfarvo]

Isn't it canonical lore that when the Orks paint a vehicle a color that it does nothing to change the functional characteristics of the vessel, but that the Ork's belief that it does something actually does manifest some real functionality somehow (almost like a psyker), kinda like how a placebo can have an effect? Edit: 10:30 okay Plat knows

[@nairav9156]

I love the Idea that Minecraft netherportal travel distance was inspired by Warhammer, like Nether even looks like some sort of hell

[@kevinjordan7282]

I cannot properly express how excited I am for a video dedicated to Orks.

[@roansythen]

I've never been so disappointed. A video on WH40k Warp travel and no mention of Event Horizon?

[@meeyatttA]

10:43 Correction - T'au have an inferior method of FTL even compared to humans, which is one of the reasons why T'au empire, despite generally superior technology and more reasonable policies, is not as powerful as other factions. They do not have the same connection to the warp (Like humans or orks), nor old technology which was made specifically to traverse the warp (Like eldar or necrons). Other than that, great video!

[@averymccausland9312]

They can travel at near FTL speeds without having to utilize the warp though! Which while not having the capacity for long distance travel like other factions could arguably be a better alternative, without having to deal with warp related issues, and the Tau’s method of travel works for their purposes since they only occupy a comparatively small region of space

[@somerandomjackal8135]

Yep beat me too it! I believe the lore has been changed a couple of times, but generally its said they travel 'Just under FTL' or they 'skim the edge of the warp'. So they cant travel super far super fast, but the small area they do control is quite connected to the rest of the empire.

[@averymccausland9312]

@@somerandomjackal8135 exactly what I was thinking!

[@icholi88]

@@averymccausland9312 Not really, without psychic communication they logistically can't function or respond to threats strategically. But they do have FTL, its just incredibly limited by the fact they can't completely submerge into the warp for "long" jumps, just seconds or miliseconds at a time. So they actually have an entire class of messenger ships in their fleet because its unironically faster to hand deliver the message than wait for their light speed communication.

[@Canukles]

They sort of 'skip' along the Warp, like skipping rocks on a pond, never really seeing what's underneath. They probably still go FTL though, or they'd take centuries instead of a few years to get from place to place.

[@Ryukachoo]

Its worth name dropping Event Horizon as a movie basically describing 40k warp travel without a gellar field

[@dat_lamp]

"This is the only time Minecraft will be brought up in a 40k video." Im holding you to that promise when you get to Imperial Fists.

[@jefrosiers8880]

FTL, hah Cringe, We go through hell itself to deliver your packages! - Bricky

[@nakenmil]

Here's my go to analogies for space travel in different settings: Star Trek: space travel is like sea voyages during the Age of Discovery of the 1700s. Star Wars: space travel is basically like trucking in the 1950s-60s. (except in the EU where they get weird with it.) Warhammer 40,000: spave travel is like the Oddysee of Ancient Greece. Dune: warhammer stole our schtick, removed the drugs and added demons.

[@RiggityWRECKED]

Orks don't just *not * use a Gellar Field, they roll down the windows so Daemons can come in to GET KRUMP'D. 😂

[@jefrosiers8880]

the Navis Nobilitae are incredibly interesting to me, they are incredibly important for everything the Imperium does but at the same time Abhumans/mutants, who normally could never hold such positions in the Imperium

[@CrazyAjvar]

I mean, they stay separate and keep to themselves, because they need to breed between themselves to continue navigator lines and are considered like noble houses and live like nobility. Other less useful mutants aren't so lucky.

[@jefrosiers8880]

@@CrazyAjvar don't forget that they need to keep the oldest navigators hidden due to how much they have mutated, the space wolf book series did a great job at exploring that in one of its books

[@collecter343]

Big reason why The Emperor went back to Terra and left Horus in charge, so he could create a method of travel that wouldn't depend on the mutant Navigators.

[@rahadityap2375]

Originally, Astronomicon,Astropath,Navigator and FTL through Warp is only function for recongquer Galaxy or Great Crusade.. Emperor actual planned is building Webway connected to Every Imperial Planet or Sector that replaced warp travel

[@Hawkens4k]

[@jiffah]

the webway is a system of fortified passages within the warp. The Old ones had theirs, the Eldar had theirs (possibly the old one's) and the Imperium has an unfinished one flooded by Chaos (thanks Magnus) where most Custodes spend their lives fighting to keep it shut.

[@ImposCoE]

Orks are so amazing in Warhammer 40k. I wish I had that mentality. Staring a literal daemon in the face and going "YEEEES! Inflight movies!"

[@name7251]

Technologically the Tau are behind humanity. They don't go unto the Warp, rather make small jumps which are much slower. It's a safer method but it is worse.

[@estebanguerrero682]

I am a simple man, I watch platinum, I enjoy the video, I become a happy man

[@nietbasxoudenh3772]

fun fact with warp travel you can come out of the warp before your date of departure or more than hundred years later

[@nakenmil]

I haven't kept up with 40k lore AS much since around 2013-14, so this might very well have been retconned by now, but I believe the Tau DO require the Warp for their FTL transport, but they don't "fully dive" into the Warp, instead taking short micro-dips into it, almost skipping along its "surface". This is way less efficient that Imperial tech, and explains why they don't ever really leave the Eastern Fringe. Similarly, while the Necrons USED to have their own completely non-Warp-based FTL which no one understood (but I think it had something to do with them being able to mess with their physical mass until the laws of inertia and momentum no longer applied), this was eventually retconned to them jacking into the Webway like a neighbor splicing a fibreglass cable to get free internet (a lot less interesting, imho.) And the Webway IS connected to the warp. It's inside the warp, afaik. But if the Geller Field is like a temporary bubble of realspace, the Webway is like permanent tunnel of realspace in there.

[@cjv-x10a4]

10:53. Well, the Tau's method of FTL (the Ether Drive) is slower then the Imperium's. And they only got that after studying the Imperium's Warp-Drive after getting their asses kicked in the Damocles Gulf Crusade. They were even slower back then.🐌😅

[@maikeru7549]

I just recently got into WH40K and just binged all your vids. Please upload more, your editing is so fun and I have never had so much fun watching just W40K vids like yours and weshammer

I just found your channel it's awesome Could you please make a video about the alpha legion they're my favorite chaos legion

[@marcosantoro7465]

Great video, and great animations! There are very good love channels around, but they do tend to use and reuse the same pictures and animations. Going for this must have been a difficult, but hopefully succesfull choice!

[@araposkulo]

In the book "Deliverance Lost" the Primarch of the Raven Guard, Corvus Corax, silently got near a Word Bearers ship at which point he put the engines to 110% and jumped into the warp. When the Word Bearer's Astartes ship captain realized he was in the Warp without his Gheller Field up he "wondered not what manner of man could do it, but what manner of man *would* do it", right before a Khorne demon manifests through his abdomen ripping him into pieces. That's a pretty nice tid-bit of lore that shows you how horrifying it is to be left stranded in the Warp unprotected even for the demon-specialized Space Marines

[@doingsomethning]

I can't wait for him to talk about space hulks.

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

Fun fact: Warp Travel doesn't guarantee shorter voyages. My favorite example of this is in the Infinite and the Divine, where Orikan's predictions are entirely thrown off because a Warp Jump accidentally got an Imperial Navy fleet sent _back in time to before the launched,_ thus getting to their destination months ahead of schedule.

[@fabiomartins1534]

i need to know how you do these cinematics with the models

[@squeethemog213]

As a fan who's been into warhammer since 9th edition started. You do a marvelous job and present knowledge in such a spectacular way. I applaud your efforts and look forward to how you cover other topics in the future :D

[@tindrakappen1774]

This is Incredible !!!!

[@somerandominternetdweller]

Just because a faction has a better form of travel, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re more advanced than them. Considering the Tau lack super soldiers or demigods.

[@UnhingedChronicler]

I built the event horizon to reach the stars but she’s gone much much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos, pure evil.

I really love that you’re diving into 40K. I started the hobby a year ago myself

I never consumed anything related to 40k other than these videos and I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

[@channelx8254]

Praise be to the kingdoms of choas, the imperial truth, the greater good, and, the omnissiah! Platinum out saint has arrived!

[@costelinha1867]

I love how the humans in this setting, have the most dangerous, messed up, and seemingly INNEFICIENT way of navigating trough warp, I just imagine other factions looking at them, and it being that Invincible meme of Omni-Man saying: "Look what they have to do to mimic a FRACTION of our power!"

[@EvansdiAl]

no uploads?

[@vake1234]

3:52 lexicanum?

[@Fizzlenuke]

A bit more context on the Leagues of Votann at 9:54 They do have better gellar fields, but the real reason they are much better at traveling through the warp is because they have their highly sophisticated AI calculate routes through the warp(something humans dont have access to for obvious reasons) They also always value safety and consistency, so they do small hops through the warp one after another to reach their destination. Instead of one big dive, they just pop in and out of the warp like 5 times, Its said because of this, It takes them more time to reach their final destination, but they always arrive where they want exactly when they want to be there.

[@Cynidecia]

"40k is so grimdark and terrible and le bad!" *Said as technology is actually advancing, primaris exist, the primarchs have returrned and Chaos is panicking.*

[@Ryukachoo]

Definitely do a video on the dark age of technology, the level of advancement humanity achieved as well as the violence of the robot uprising puts a lot of things in the current setting within context

[@brasssnacks8413]

Saying Tau have advanced technology so they don't need the warp is like saying I have a bike so I don't need to use a highway. Tau space flight is SLOOOOOOOOW

[@nightsage217]

Before the downfall of mankind around M.20-M.25, they do discover warp travels, but it was a time of peak sci fi. They have better systems, using robots (soul less) to control the ship, and cryogenic process to keep travelers' activity to minimum, plus the warp is not relatively bad until the birth of Slaanesh, a literal bdsm demon god. It's multiple reasons why warp travel in 40k is so hilariously dangerous.

[@honestwarmonger4662]

Can’t forget boss grizgutz who traveled back in time during a warp jump

[@balazsvarga1823]

Another nitpick. Imperial warp travel is very good. Tau are slow, orks use the same as the humans just even more random. Eldar webway is limited. Its great, but its preset. Necrons used to have true FTL, but they got retconned into using eldar stuff. Which leaves the Imperium, Chaos and orks being the only ones who can get anywhere from anywhere.

[@tswims92]

I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that the Tau haven’t figured out warp travel yet, and essentially can only do mini warp jumps. Kind of like skipping a stone across the warp instead of fully going in.

[@forestjohnson7474]

Warhammer 40k: when literal hell make shortcut for ignoring special relativity for FTL technologies

[@bradypus55]

I like to add that the Tau, while they do have superior technology then the imperium, have trouble sailing through space with all the warpstorm and demons along the way. Because of this, their empire can only exist in this small pocket in the galaxy and only expand border by border. However, in one time in their history, they attempted to recreate the warp travel technology during their fourth sphere of expansion era which while successful, cause untold trauma to their crew and weird demons and apparition appeared. Because of this, the surviving tau crew changed into different cruel people and blamed all the non-tau crew for making the demons appear and attempted to kill them all (even the kroot! D:). While they took new worlds for the empire, their method were so violent and xenophobic that a whole other expedition (lead by shadowsun) was made to physically stop them from genociding all non-tau people and put an end to this madness. Since then, the Tau dared not try this technology ever again and a generation of xenophobic tau were born and feared by the rest of the tau empire, especially non-tau citizens. ...Also this expedition may or may not have created a merciful Tau deity but that's another story

[@collecter343]

Concerning the Tau's method, while their method is definitely more reliable and safer, I don't believe it's fast or long distance enough to compete with the speeds/distance that warp travel permits. Main reason why they're pretty much only found in one corner of the galaxy.

[@mrsweetnawful2]

Platinum when will you cover trazyn the infinite? Or creed? Cus they're ripe for your humor!

[@KalmoK]

Well they can just exit the Warp if something happens, like at the beginning of Horus Herecy. Can't remember which ship it was but their systems failed bc they were fired at when they escaped from Istvaan system, then they entered the Warp but like said had system failures, their Gellar Field malfunctioning, and had to exit bc they would've been fucked by demons. I bet it's not simple and many can succumb to madness if it fails, but propably just exit before it happens? Just saying, great videos tho. Have been your Wow channel fan for ages and was happy you also like 40K lore! Keep up the good work bro

[@CoffeeMaus]

I think the Necron's Dolmen Gates are actually the same tech as the Eldar's Webway. That being said, I don't think my Rogue Trader game's a reliable source of lore. Our Hospitaler's a catgirl, our Captain is Big Band and I am an accountant.

[@diamondhamster4320]

Well, Warp Drives are only for Imperium ships. Everyone else uses different methodes of space travel. Like Necrons just use classic teleportation Traversable Wormhole Teleportation aka Quantum Entangelment.

[@psmt1234]

One Small Note on the Tau. While yes their Pseudo FTL is better in the sense that it doesn't interact with the warp it sucks because its to slow. The Tau are basically at the maximum size they can reach without warp travel and are desperate to attain warp transit to continue expansion. which without gellar field (due to the Tau lack of gellar field tech or Psykers to create them.) This Has lead to some large scale "Event Horizon" Incidents, and the discovery of the gestating Tau Warp god Created by Tau Auxiliaries belief in the greater good.
