Blown away by Warhammer 40k's INSANE Lore! | TNT Reactions to Bricky's Breakdown

@razor1uk610 (*appears right in front of you*) Save you from what? Never mind, I'll just read your mind... and just to be sure...

[@Cyberpunk9000]

If you are a citizen of any of the millions upon millions of human planets who may experience some contact with Xenos, do not under any circumstances, have one single thought of being open to accepting any offer from a Xenos for peace, friendship and harmony. Even just thinking about it will invite all manor of problems for your entire civilisation. These people are so powerful, that they can sense your thinking, even if you don’t come to a conclusion about it. One day, you will receive a knock on the door and wish you never opened it.

[@NorthernXY]

@Cyberpunk9000 Well most hostile xenos are Orks and Tyranids, they don't practice diplomacy (Orks once did during the Dark Age of Technology, so did Eldari). Druhkari, there aren't enough to compare, though the ones you want to run into the least. The Eldari generally stay clear of humans as they don't hide in the Webway. Craftworlds are just too important to gamble an offensive war with. Haven't heard much from the dangerous Rangdans in a while.

[@nightovizard]

Every single faction explained by bricky is also quite a fun introduction to the setting. I recommend it.

[@OSIRIS30]

By the emperor, I love seeing someone at the moment they get hooked on Warhammer. Its a crack to me.

[@terrencenoran3233]

Psykers are rare, but NEVER equate it to our numbers. In the world of 40K, numbers are exaggerated to the extreme. Rare to them is like, at least, 1.6 billion. There are cities in those million worlds whose average population is 30 times our current world population.

[@jocosesonata]

*To emphasize the sheer numbers:* 1 Hive City can house 10-100 billion. 1 Imperial Planet can have more than 1 Hive City. The Imperium has a Million worlds.

You beat me to it. Adric is a great lore channel.

Love it. Found it a few weeks ago ❤

[@alphaxbox3728]

Its good, but doesnt make for good reaction content. Since its basically a podcast. And even then, they still follow Brickys "Fun before accuracy" rule. Good to listen to while working, not so much if yoy want an actual lore dive.

[@timfarrow1545]

@@alphaxbox3728 nut thats what makes it fun for people who want some comedy with their grimdark. If you dont want humour and you want a documentary style approach then luetin07 and baldermort is channels i would recommend. If you want naration of the books then its A border prince.

[@zebrion5793]

This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to 40k lore. It's a teaser. You have NO IDEA what you're in for.

[@sethkeown5965]

Dont worry about where to start, find an interesting looking rabbit hole and dive. Have fun

[@trentonjackson4665]

The thing about the Emperor is that he is Basically immortal and has been Is suffering for 10k years on the throne protecting Humanity. the good side is he basically became a god The bad side He's Basically a god Whose mind is fractured into a million pieces suffering because of the throne.

[@zebrion5793]

In the most recent novel at the end of the Heresy, it's revealed that the Emperor could have become a legitimate god, but doing so would have destroyed terra, so he turned down the power and instead fractured off the "good" part of himself and sent it into the warp. So he's not quite a god, but close enough to one that a human probably wouldn't know the difference.

[@MFZBitch]

I think whats the most funny about it is how much of a raging atheist the emperor was. Dude would literally kill you for talking to him about religion and now there is a galaxy wide religion based on him. Always makes me think of "the entire history of the world i guess" - "you can make a religion out of that".

[@thepiousskull]

Outside of books and things, there aren't any video games or similar media that take place in the vast history before 40k. That's basically mostly setup for the setting as it exists and for a game introduction to 40k, I'd say Space Marine 2 is a great place to start. From there, games like Rogue Trader are also really good if you're into CRPGs at all.

[@fussytom3093]

36:29 watch his “Every Faction Explained” video for a deeper dive into the factions and races

[@paytonkraft7564]

Warhammer isn't so much a board game as it is a bottomless pit. Trust me. There is SO much nuance to this setting that makes it feel like you'd need a PhD to know where to begin.

[@princebusta1st1]

40k has the richest lore of any franchise EVER, there are somewhere around 300-400 books, comics, videon games and a shit ton more, its a very generous franchise in terms of material, Have fun getting in to it! 👍👍👍

[@Ghost_Void226]

I just got into warhammer 40k also and bricky was my introduction to. Your picked a great video to get you started in warhammer 40k.

[@Ognyann]

Please do more, I really enjoyed how well you get the lore!

[@altervaas]

Starcraft was supposed to be a Warhammer IP but Blizzard failed to aquire the permission from GamesWorkshop.

[@GuerillaBunny]

"This is just crazy now!" He gets it. He gets WH40k now.

[@hole-sawbear1500]

An important detail to the Eldars downfall is that they were basically immortal. After death, their souls would reincarnate, and the newborn elf would regain their memories in late adolescence. So, being killed in a freaky sex/torture musical was no big deal. You'll be back in 50-100 years.

[@Marcelo-o4i3w]

Bricky's two part 40k videos of all the factions is great, super entertaining and goes into more detail. There are two 1-hours videos.

[@chadwhitfield6946]

Yes, the Eldar had a treaty with humanity during the age of technology.

[@connormcguire484]

Man, i love seeing 40k newbies experiencing that “it” moment when that one particular thing sticks the landing and suddenly they want to know more. Welcome to 40k!

[@cerisambrook7692]

Bricky's vids are a good place to start as they're quite fun (perhaps a few too many in-jokes at times for the average newbie to get) but he can be a little shaky on the lore in truth. It's fine though, because they're a nice way to get to grips with the basics and get a feel for the universe. There are also hundreds of really good animation shorts, game intros and fan fics to discover on YT that will blow your mind. I strongly recommend you start with the incredible fanfic animation 'ASTARTES' which really captures the spirit of 40K and badassery of the Space Marines- it's not very long but a real piece of impressive work.

[@tomlangdonec]

I have watched this video and reactions to this videos so many times!!! it's a classic, I hope you do more

[@Warbob11]

Space Marine 1 Anniversary Edition would be what I recommend playing first. You get too fight the Orks. It is on sale last I checked.

[@atheist101]

You've barely scratched the surface with this video. It goes much deeper than you realize. So many things have happened in this universe

[@Syst3m04]

The best place to start is the table top. It’s relatively cheap to get into and the games are pretty quick, nice convenient way to get into it 😁

[@dreadtrain2846]

No way, WH 40k is the best!!! Just started getting into it because of these lore video's. I personally enjoy building and painting the miniatures, very Zen.

[@justicar5]

Warcraft was originally meant to be a Warhammer game, but they could not get the licence. Also The Emperor wasn't the only one with a plan, he killed.everyone else who had a plan and genocided their entire civilization

[@FlexStudioPL]

Dude I'm watching your reactions with your girl and now you jumped in my universe. Love it. You need to watch more. A lot of lore (Bricky) and animations. Good luck and stay with us! Emperor Protects!

[@helmaksi]

So far, this is the single best introductory video i've seen to get new players to join. It is a masterpiece.

[@240Ldemon]

Bricky's factions and space marine legions videos a pretty good basic intro to the lore. After that there are plenty of good channels that get into more specific things, one I would highly recommend is Wolf Lord Rho, he reads excerpts from the books and shorts stories, then talks about them. That way you can experience some of the lore directly.

[@paytonkraft7564]

The Eldar, Tau, and Necrons all use typically use alternative forms of FTL travel, but for the most part, the warp and crossing through it is your most common form of FTL in 40k.

[@steelbear2063]

Eldar still use the Webway, Necrons are so batshit technologically advanced that they simply have FTL travel in real-space because science, and Tau only kinda go into the warp, like dipping their toes as opposed to diving. The distance is shorter, the speed is lower, but much safer. And Tau have a weak connection to the Warp, so demons aren't really attracted to them.

[@Wineblood]

Orks is the warp because it's a more enjoyable ride.

[@steelbear2063]

Eldar still use the Webway, Necroncs are simply built different and travel at FTL speed in real space and Tau only kinda go into the Warp. It's slower, the distances are shorter, but much safer, plus Tau have a weak connection to the Warp and so don't attract demons as much

[@Ower8x]

​@@steelbear2063 They tried proper warp travel recently .... you can imagine how it went Yeah there is a reason why the Tau are starting to learn the truths of the 40k galaxy .... Zealotry and Xenophobia ...

[@paytonkraft7564]

@@steelbear2063 True, but for the most part, warp drives are still a rarity in Tau space and they fall back on less disastrous alternatives. At least that's MY understanding.

[@flamesnipr1213]

The beginning of the video where he says he has a huge backlog of games that he needs to play is soooo damn true

[@-Miasimon]

Eldar was the reason humanity was able to progress so quickly. Their contact jumpstarted human efforts to colonize and were also the main reason for their fall besides the AI rebellion.

[@adrianmartinez-rivera651]

The last few minutes of the video tells you recommended books to read if you want to get into the story

[@michaelconnor1542]

Another video you need to watch is Astartes. It is a fanmade short film. It is fantastic and garnered the creator many accolades and a job with GW.

[@RustyShackleford9000]

17:17 the eldar basically turned their entire race into one giant diddy party lol

[@tjmcfadden5137]

To explain that weird moment where someone else head pops up in front of Horus that is Alpharius primacy of the 20th legion who has a ton of hard to track and fully know lore as he is the head of the spying legion. Essentially one telling is he was the first primarch found but the emperor trained him in secret and let him watch the others as they were discovered

[@awokensheep588]

Welcome to 40k. Know this. Your bank account will SUFFER ;)

[@jmsr77]

There's a lot of lore because they've been writing it since the 1980s And no one is good in 40k (no, not even the Tau), there's just varying degrees of evil.

[@sojh17]

Hell yeah awesome reaction! There is no one best way to start getting deeper into it! Just follow your curiosity and whatever you think is coolest and you’ll fine some facet of 40k to engage with. Could be listening to lore/audio books while painting miniatures, can be playing video games that feature the faction you’re into at the time, seriously whatever direction you pick, even just binging videos, is valid. Just know that every content creator has their own favorites and their own perspective on events, which tbh is half the fun as I feel like just how facts and events of history are hazy in 40k, the community understanding and interpretation of the lore can take on a mythological folktale aspect of its own.

[@Ferdawoon]

Warhammer, and by extension all the tabletop miniature games, is basically Chess but with a lot of extra rules. Instead of always moving a certain number of squares, you can move a certain distance, instead of a Pawn being able to take out a tower in one hit each unit will have health and need to be attacked multiple times, you can't attack through walls or other units, etc.

[@Atzy]

11:30 The Necrons are quite heavily based on the Tomb Kings of Warhammer Fantasy. So, undead magicians from egypt, but in space.

[@thetsarofall8666]

If you are wondering, "where are the dwarves" 40k has those too! The leagues of votann are a race of short, stocky clone templates lead by massive ai cores from the dark age of technology, the votann, and its thought they were effectively an artificial race created by dark age of technology humanity to work raw materials from worlds in the galactic core for humanity's first empire. They were thought to have been wiped out by the tyranids, but recently have been rediscovered, so technically pretty "new" to the setting.

[@-Luna-tic.exe-]

Papa nurgle loves you.

[@stanisawzokiewski3308]

I love how warhammer can explore so many themes and relations and emotions and ideas by completely recontextualising them in a grim dark future our very own galaxy. Too many authors make their main characters basically the generic average modern thinking person even if they live in a world of magic and fantasy. In warhammer every character makes sense in the context they live in. They would be unreasonable in our context, but their thinking is in many ways the same us our, just in a different context. 1 x 3 = 3 2 x 3 = 6 Same method from a slightly different starting spot can have a huge difference in the long run.

[@croontangify]

good time to get into it the show will be coming in the future so this is a good rough overview to help with whatever will be involved in the show

[@Emperor_Of_Mankind]

It USED to be 1000 psychers per day to keep me alive. Now it's 4000 because ... uh ... reasons.

[@amelianyoom9545]

Bricky had some good suggestions for books for people new to the franchise at the end of the video, definitely recommend checking them out, they’re also available as audiobooks as well.

[@tb1271]

While Psykers are rare, at about one-per-billion, there are soooo many humans in the 40K universe, meeting the 1000 (or 10,000 sometimes) per day is not a major problem. Some of the lore places the population of earth alone in the Quadrillions, other lore has it at around 200 billion. But overall, people are a very expendable resource in 40K. Check out luetin09's series, 'THE IMPERIUM'S 10 WORST JOBS' for some flavour on that.

[@NikEdw70]

There are so many books to explore (or audiobooks) to expand your knowledgte!

[@minkalampinen9519]

You could watch Luetin09 whenever you want to dive deep in the lore. Luetin is a bit meandering and speculative but his style is fitting for the setting. Warhammer 40k is a deep, ancient ocean and you can find anything you like in there, anything at all from esoteric cosmic horror to space noir to military fantasy or whatever else you could dream up. This rabbit hole has no bottom.

[@joshuadunn2]

Traveling through the warp is relatively safer if you have something called a gellar field to keep the demons out. It almost always usually works. That's also if you don't somehow get stuck in the warp for centuries, or get sent backward in time or on the opposite side of the galaxy that you intended. Other than that, perfectly safe.

[@chadwhitfield6946]

Yeah, millions of ships are traveling through the warp every day.

[@fhope7106]

I recommend you watch the What if the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, which is a funny/epic series that expands on the lore from the Emperor's perspective.

Fun fact the Chaos Gods Tzeetch, Khorne and Nurgle were created in the War in Heaven because the Old One's decided to weaponize the WARP because they were losing. Now they didn't start out as gods they were weapons to be used against the Necrons and the Ctan but over the course of the War they feasted on the corruption of warp energy and became GODS. Also fun fact the SCI-FI film Event Horizon was heavily based on Warhammer 40k and is very good example of why you don't go through the warp without a Ghellarfield.
