Funniest part about orks. The whole "purple is da sneakiest" thing was created by fans. It was a running gag among the fanbase that orks paint themselves purple because "yoov nevah seen a purple ork, hav ya?" GW hears about this and actually adds it to the Ork codex. We literally meme'd purple orks into existence.

My absolute favour 40k story was when a group of Orks were running from an imperial force, getting away then realised some big slow heavy Blood Angels terminators were amongst the enemies following them. Orks think red things move faster, Blood Angels are red so impossibly these big old terminators started to catch up with the Orks and eventually slaughter them, purely because the Orks thought they should XD

The Orks, a small tale of their powers: There once was an Ork ship, stuck in the void of space. From a great space battle it had just escaped, its hull riddled with holes. A good number of boyz, listening to their Kapt'n orders, were working on repairing as best as they could the damages. Then, a new group rejoined them, clad in rudimentary spacesuits. As the chief of this new team arrived, to the already working ork he said, in a suave and delicate tone : "HEY LADZ, WHY U'Z WORKIN' WIVOUT SUITZ ? U ALL GUNNA DIE, THERE NO OXYGEN IN SPACE !!!" And as these words were uttered, and the mind of the ork understood them, for nobody had thought of that problem amongst the repairing crew, reality was corrected, and their asphyxiated bodies since drift in space a reminder of both the incredible powers their race holds, and their stupidity.

[@aceflare2431]

One thing that a lot of people forget. If you slay a chaos being while in the warp, there is a real chance they're gone for good. Kinda like how they're at their most powerful, yet most vulnerable on home turf.

[@MrFairbanksak1]

Hmm, interesting. The same rules apply to fiends in the Forgotten Realms universe of D&D. If you kill a demon or devil while they are on the prime material plane, their souls return to their home (the Abyss or the Nine Hells), and they are banished from entering the prime material for 100 years. If, however, they are killed while in their home realm, they die for real.

[@Sorain1]

Not entirely true, but a solid rule of thumb. Basically: most demons are a tiny chunk of one of the four chaos gods. (Think, a single cell of your body for scale.) When you fight them on the material plane, unless you have something to disconnect them from the warp, they're just banished. When you fight them in the warp, you aren't fighting a chunk of that demon that it put into real space, you are fighting the whole demon. Win there and there are good odds that particular demon is never coming back, because while he's scattered into gibs, other demons eat the gibs and thus the demon you 'killed' never reforms. But, if that demon is favored, the chaos god may reassemble them manually or order no one to eat their gibs, so they'll recover in time. That being said, taking it as a rule that a demon you 'kill' in the warp is gone will usually be correct. Only the most favored (or disfavored, see that one Slanneishi demon cursed to dance forever.) demons get their god's attention like that.

[@liamoliver5848]

So if the Emperor ever came back he could theoretically kill the Chaos gods in the warp?

[@Sorain1]

@@liamoliver5848 It's rather dependent on how well he pulls himself together and how much having a mortal avatar as the basis of his existence means he can override the shaping effects of the warp reflection of him. (at least as I see it.) Essentially, there are two views on the Emperor: 1. The glorious God of Humanity that defends them, harsh because as a father he needs to be. 2. The tyrannical God of Humanity that defends them because only he gets to abuse his slaves. There really isn't a ton of middle ground because of how the Imperium shakes out. This means there are two impressions in the warp waiting to take final form. (And I'd point out that like the chaos 'gods' nothing says you can't have both good and evil aspects in one entity.) The facts we do have are that humanity is vastly more numerous and spread out than the Eldar were (and they made Slannesh, who is in the same league as the other three major chaos entities despite having so much less time to gestate/build up.) Humanity has spent roughly 10k years buying into the whole God Emperor mythos (for the most part) even if they think he is evil. None of the Chaos Gods ever had an origin as a creature of the material universe. So in theory, if the Emperor got off the throne, he could harness the insane power of faith accumulated during that time to do a lot of crazy things. (Recently in lore he burned down Nurgles gardens, without getting off the throne.) On the other hand, how much all that shaping would push at him to 'live up to the hype' is an open question. Scion (a TTRPG) had a neat take on Gods, where they got more powerful by fitting a role in fate... but also became more constrained by that role in the process. A similar situation might apply to the Emperor, where if he wants to go full on 'fight the four on even footing' he would be binding himself into the role of the God Emperor, potentially without a way to get out of it again. We know for damn sure that the miracles of the Sisters of Battle are warp manifestations, since Cadian pylons rendered Celestine just a mortal again. (Standard anti-psyker measures fail against these miracles because they're designed to counter conventional psyker powers presumably.) Killing the Chaos Gods outright might not be possible, but nothing says he couldn't rip the good parts out and make them into new Gods. (Honor from Khorne, Hope from Tzeench, Joy from Slannesh, Nature from Nurgle) That would massively weaken them and give him allies in one stroke.

[@climax050]

Thanks for this, have been a warhammer fan for some time and didn't know this very interesting piece of information. Though looking back it seems sort of obvious considering how daemons can change shapes and are often described as how much of the "true" version of themselves is actually anywhere at any particular time.

[@PoisonYoshi]

Orks is one of my favorite factions from 40K just for how ridiculous their stories and lore are. One of my favorites was about a battle between a WAAAGH and an Imperial Guard that was getting hammered. The Guardsmen had run out of ammo, and the Orks were bearing down on their defenses. The Captain of the guard, strode forward into battle as his troops stared on in confusion. What was the Captain planning? He picked up an empty Lasgun from the ground, aimed it at a charging Ork and shouted as loud as he could *BANG*. The Ork dropped dead. Amazed at this, the fellow Guardsmen picked up their empty weapons, and charged forward toward the WAAAGH, shouting *BANG* at each and every Ork they saw. With that, Orks started dropping left and right, and the Guard was regaining ground. It appeared they were going to turn this battle around until the Captain noticed one of his Guard shout *BANG*, but there was no apparent effect. The Captain saw that the Orks in the distance were marching together and chanting something in unison that he couldn't quite hear or make out. The Guardsmen began to panic as they had noticed that the Orks were getting closer and that them shouting was doing nothing. It was only once the Orks grew closer did the Captain finally hear what they were chanting... Orks: *I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK! I'M A TANK!*

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

Disregarding Chaos, they seem to be the strongest race. Chaos is supposed to be the final boss archetype of a tabletop game, so they are going to "win", destroying everything... But like I said, disregarding Chaos because they are designed to be op, the Necrons are the strongest

[@RenegadeVile]

@@RRRRRRRRR33 Maybe, but don't forget that the Necrons seem to possess technology that they can use to fend off the Warp itself, nor do they need it to travel long distance in an instant. I wouldn't be so sure that Chaos would be able to defeat the Necrons if the latter have the time and opportunity to rebuild a decently-sized force. Right now, the biggest advantage everyone have against them, is the fact thtat they're scattered, divided, sometimes still asleep, and sometimes batshit insane. If they ever truly, fully reorganize, I don't see how anyone can defeat them.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

@@RenegadeVile It's the same archetype of the Skaven in Warhammer Fantasy, Games Workshop creates this ambiguity to leave fans guessing. But like I said, Warhammer is still a game, it's not really an actual novel... so Chaos is the final boss, it's like when you have Ganon as the final boss in Zelda games, lol they are designed to be overpowered, the final challenge, multiple factions are supposed to unite their powers to face Chaos. So in a logical way, considering the context of Warhammer as a tabletop game, Chaos is the factually stronger "race" in both Fantasy and 40k, they are designed to destroy everything and then the universe resets to keep selling products for the fans, I think a more interesting "debate" would be "who is the strongest, saved by Chaos", there's a lot of arguments in this particular scenario... but if you include Chaos, that kills the argumentation, Chaos is purposefully designed to win at the end, it's a matter of (game) design, not narrative

In actuality, the Devil would be all four rolled into one. Like Khorne, Satan desires war and hatred so that more souls go to hell unredeemed. Satan is a liar like Tzeentch, who questions all truth so that souls can't grasp their situation and remain unredeemed. Satan is a tempter like Slaanesh and encourages vice and hedonism so that souls corrupt themselves and others and addict themselves to sin so that they refuse redemption. Nurgle is the only one that doesn't quite match, since Nurgle is patient and just waits, while Satan is proactive and seeks death more urgently.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the reason there are so many orks Orks are literally mushrooms. They don't breed, they spore on battlefields when they die. New orks are not born, they are grown, meaning killing an invading ork force is only the first battle if you do not sanitize the war zone

Ultimately this is the tragedy of Chaos. The Warp is gestalt made up of the minds of every soul-bearing species that lives within the galaxy, and the Chaos Gods are the personifications of universal concepts (emotion/sensation, violence, death/decay, and thought) within the gestalt. In the time of 40k, the galaxy is so fucked that the gestalt views the Chaos Gods as active, malevolent, and inescapable entities so they are and the only ways to 'beat' them would change the galaxy so fundamentally that 40k would be unrecognizable.

[@IronMan9771]

It's a vicious cycle: The more cultists and the like feed the bad side of the warp, the more the gods hunger for it, and the more they influence upstanding but weak citizens to feed them with these vile acts.

[@TheNewRedOne]

@@silveredbullet802 Actually, the humans came VERY late to the party. What happened is that 60 million years ago, there were three main races: the Old Ones, the Eldar and the Necrontyr. Long story short, the Necrontyr warred against the other two, and were at first, kicking their asses, until, panicking, the Old ones decided to create what would become the Orks, the Krorks (giant super smart orks with enormous psychic might) to fight for them. all that fighting, the souls devoured by the Necrons' weapons-turned-masters, the C'Tan, and the general chaos of the situation, distorted the immaterium into what would, in time, become the warp. The chaos gods solidified around the human renaissance, so... They didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Quick correction, they don’t have a connection to the warp like mentioned The Tyranids are a hive mind. They're in constant communication between their synapse creatures, sending billions of psychic messages non-stop around the fleet. This clouds up the warp, it's like a warp static, blocking out other psychic communication with the mass of unintelligible alien 'language. Tyranids, while not ideal for Chaos influence do have an affect on the warp. Their presence is actually a fairly big threat to Chaos, as they have no lust, no desire for Slaneesh to manipulate. Their entire existence is centered around the Hive Mind, their only quest is to feed.

Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude." Also what I like about the Orks is their currency for how simply genius it is: They use their teeths/teef. It makes so much sense. There teeth grows back and there are always other Orks around. Their teeth also rot in time, making it a self retiring currency preventing inflation.

I am a Tau player. So I went to a local gaming night thing as I wanted to get into DND, and was introduced to 40K. I never had heard of it and thought it looked cool so I asked a guy what it was, he was nice and gave an overview on what 40K and what the do on the nights. H e then said people choose a race to play and gave a really brief/simple explanation on all the races and what they are like. Thought they where cool, and made references like how the Necron ships looked like Galactica. Anyway long story short he got to the Tau and I instantly fell in love as I just loved how they look, then he told me that they focus on ranges combat and I was hooked. He did say there were quite unpopular/alot pf people didn't play then but that kind of made them cooler for me as it was like they where rare. Anyway that was like maybe 5 years ago, and it was only later I found out about the deep lore and much more info into the world and community of 40K, this is where I found out people didn't like the Tau and memed/joked alot. I felt a bit bad but I didn't let it damage my love for the race and even to this day I am a proud Tau player XD But I related a bit to that little section at the end, thanks you :D and I recently have started to meme it myself and go into all the jokes XD

I mean really, if you were forced to live in the 40k world, as you are now, I would assume you’d want to live in the Tau empire because it is at least trying to care for its citizens

[@SirRivelion]

Tau are cool, they are different. Ppl say they are "not grimdark enough", but they have their own struggles and having a "proper" sci-fi faction is unique in this setting. Don't ever let ppl bring your enthusiasm for a faction bring you down. Everyone always makes jokes about Ultramarines being Smurfs and it gets old quick. Just like Tau "lol, weeb faction not grimdark enough", but to be honest it just lets you know who is nice enough to play against. (met a fair share of dicks calling my Eldar gay, because they are elves in space, so original) Hope you have goot fun with your army of plastic dudes.

[@lucasantunes3875]

I think the reason they are seen as evil (chaos gods that is) is because that's how they are portrait in the mind of the people: the fear of them also fuels them to be evil cause of the warp. The God emperor propagate this notion and tried to prepare the emperium to deal with it but in doing so created the threat he so much feared (okay now I'm gonna give myself up to the inquisition)

[@sleepingcity85]

Some additions to the Orks: Orks are actually a mixture of plants, fungi and animals. The "base" genetic code is a plant and they reproduce through spores. The funny thing is, every skin cell of an Ork is a spore. One Ork will have multiple millions of descendents in its lifetime. Even fresh dead Orks will release spores. Why their equipments is actually working in their hands is also very cool. Every Ork is surrounded by a psionic field. This field is weak alone but amplifies if more Orks come together. As more Orks come together the field grows in strength and everything they imagine will happen. Its a blessing that they arent capable if imaging much. The Orks looked very odd and boring at the first look for me but if you get into the lore they are hilarious OP. Just not smart enough to know how OP they are. PS: Great Video! I wished you would have gone more into detail about the xenos but i watched both parts in one sitting. I guess i just want more :)

[@Seriovsky]

Interesting... how powerful can that psionic field be? Could they just simply imagine a faction out of existence? Like could they clean the galaxy of the Tyrannids? Or even get rid the Chaos Gods and make The Warp great again? Are the other races aware of that power the Orks have and tried to manipulate the Orks to use it for their benefit?

[@s.k4713]

I think one of my favourite things in the lore is how they describe ork dreadnaughts (deff dreads and killa kans). For the kans the grots that get to pilot them are super enthusiastic about it and it’s considered standard for them to find the ork who bullied them the most and stomp them to death. For the deff dreads ork volunteers sign up to be put in one for the huge power boost but come to realise being permanently stuck in a can isn’t the greatest thing in the world.

[@bradfin12]

gotta remember that back then eldar were functionally immortal when they died their soul would go to the warp and wait for an eldar baby to be born and they would come back with their memories. So torturing someone to death for sexual gratification didn't seem like that big a deal for them.

The funny thing about T'au, that you and most non T'au enthusiast actually don't know or miss is there is actually a sort of suggestion that they aren't poster boys of good. That instead they are mind controlled slaves by their leaders against their will. That the average T'au is a victim. Its suggested several times in the lore. For example, when a bunch of T'au go into the warp they are changed dramatically. They become extremely introverted and horrified by some unnamed truth. There is also the Enclave heretic group of T'au who refuse to have etherals in their ranks. There is also the fact they were mortal enemies with a race of mind controlling worms but suddenly became buddy buddy when they realized they have a lot in common. There is def a very dark side to the T'au if you look more into them. They fit warhammer by being a sort of unseen evil as opposed to openly like the rest of its world.

[@kingcrimsonisconfusing8404]

I find the Tau fascinating due to the fact that in a series that claims to be sci-fi, they seem to be the only ones that remembered, which makes them a great foil to the other more fantasy-based factions. They scoff at the idea of daemons and the superstitions of the Imperium, believe in science and reason in a way we as modern humans could understand, and generally approach the situation of the 41st Millennium in much the same way your standard sci-fi space faring empire would. Even though all of the above ironically makes them less adapted to life on the Galactic Stage.

Chaos kind of...CAN’T be stopped. It isn’t a race of people, it isn’t something that can truly be killed or stopped. They barely even constitute as something that abides by our material understanding.

[@devingendron2287]

The One and Only Michael McCormick Can’t be stopped by the Imperium (at least unless the Emperor actually does have a plan). But Chaos is still dependent on the Warp, specifically of the Milky Way (it is rather literally its sapience manifested from the collective psychic fields of every living being in the galaxy). The Tyranids block the warp and warp communication in the area of their hive fleets, the “Shadow in the Warp,” and don’t feed their emotions (if they have such a concept). Not to mention the implication that the hive fleets are just the vanguard of a much larger oncoming swarm approaching from below the galactic disk...or that the Tyranids themselves are fleeing something else behind them. If they consume all organic life in the galaxy, there won’t be any emotions feeding the chaos gods, they’ll die, there won’t be anything to feed power to them or the demons and they’ll be impotent, if they even exist anymore at all. Same goes if the Necrons wipe out all organic (or non-Tyranid) life. No souls, no emotions, nothing to feed chaos, and it dies to starvation (and that’s not even accounting for their possible ability to seal warp rifts, since the Cadian Pylons were probably their work). As for the Orks...they’re just too fucking hard to kill/exterminate, and I think don’t have a warp presence either (instead having the WAAAGHH field which functions differently. The first two definitely have the means to destroy chaos, or at least render it a non threat...Granted at the expense of first wiping out literally everyone else.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

Devin Gendron Right...I’ll need to consider this.

[@devingendron2287]

The One and Only Michael McCormick I will admit the only hope for the Imperium and Aeldar is if they work out their respective internal/systemic issues and unite together, and everything works exactly as planned (i.e. Aeldar fully awaken Ynnead, Big E manages to regenerate somehow and the surviving (and presumed dead) Primarchs return, ideally with some traitor primarchs redeemed, etc.). Even then I don’t see them destroying or “stopping” chaos, at best containing it back to Golden Age/Dark Age of Technology levels.
