This video ended up with more hot takes than I originally planned for. To clarify some things that I feel might stir some debate : The Necron's aren't weak because they have bad weapons or low numbers, it's their extreme infighting that keeps them mostly out of the setting The Imperium is a pretty Grim place to be, but as shown in novels such as the Eisenhorn Trilogy as well as the infinite and the Divine, there are numerous worlds full of culture and life. Only some Imperial worlds (generally hive worlds) are horrible oppressive places to be. The point about there being "goods" guys is based on them being compared to the bad guys, a tyrannical oppressive regime is utopia compared to HELL Thank you for coming to my TED talk, now here are some bewbies : www.patreon.com/majorkill

[@Turk3YbAstEr]

The group of fleeing Orks getting caught by blood angels terminators is funny, but still makes sense. Orks see red as faster but the WAAAGH can't make the space marines run at a higher speed, so how did it happen? The WAAAGH slowed down the Orks until they were slower than the terminators. Space marines weren't running any faster due to the WAAAGH, but they were now the faster of the two groups there, since red is da fastest color.

[@lumpofmeatsack2013]

[@bakedgoods7116]

I always asked myself why the Orks haven't conquered the Galaxy yet, with their absurd physiology and reality warping powers and I read the antics they do like this and I'm like, oh...that's why.

[@insanergamer]

@@bakedgoods7116 because if they "conquered" the galaxy, they'd have nothing to fight but themselves. Pretty sure MajorKill goes over it, but the krorks degraded to the modern orks because of a lack of conflict.

[@lilporky8565]

And I think that THIS is what happens with Yarrick, though the degree to which it does is up for debate. Yarrick gained a reputation among orks by his own merits as a soldier, then the WAAAGH causes itself to falter in his presence due to said reputation being ingrained into ork consciousness. Henceforth, a self-fulfilling prophecy is created.

[@maxlisbin5643]

I would like to add that, for the most part, red sub-factions tend to be faster - blood angels have lucifer pattern engines (which were alot stronger in 7th) and their jump packs, Saim Han Eldar focus on speed, Even White Scars incorporate alot of red into their color scheme. it's not universal, but it is present to a significant degree.

[@charleshalcomb5638]

It is noted that the Orkz cannot kill him BECAUSE they believe he's unkillable. That doesn't mean a Tyrannid couldn't walk up and chomp his head off, just that Yarrick won't be dying of an Ork shoota any time soon

[@industrialcamo]

You're correct. But what about a bomb-squig too stupid to be aware of it's own mortality?

[@GodlordBazi]

@@industrialcamo Well, the Waaagh functions more like a psykic soup in which bigger masses of Greenskins are swimming. Everything this collective of Greenskins believes becomes reality to some degree within this soup. Therefore, a group of Orks that has never heard of Yarrik could easily kill him, whereous a bomb squig sent in by a group of Orks that DID hear of Yarrik and believe the stories to be true would most likely just wound him, but if the Waaagh energy is strong enough, he wouldn't die.

[@GodlordBazi]

@@cibo889 Depends. Yarrik is not a super human. He is a tactical genius and a skilled strategist, but in combat, he is just a mere human - and a very old one on top of that. His augments aren't that helpful either, they're mostly aimed towards keeping up the myth about him in the Greenskin's minds. That doesn't help at all if the Orks he has to face never heard of him before, though. If he's able to use his wit in order to dispatch the Orks one by one over time with traps or ambushed, then perhaps he could kill a group of Orks indeed. But locked up in a cage with them, two Orks would be more than enough to kill Yarrik.

[@GodlordBazi]

@@cibo889 Well, the fight between Ugulhard and Yarrik is the exact reason why I'm saying this. Ugulhard beat the shit out of Yarrik in just a few seconds, which is no surprise since an old human is no match for an Ork warboss. It was actually Ugulhard who ripped Yarriks arm off during the fight. After that, he thought Yarrik to be dead and didn't bother about him anymore, but Yarrik suppressed his pain, got up again and decapitated Ugulhard in front of his Orks. That's the actual reason why the Orks believe Yarrik to be immortal, because it seemed to them like he rose from the dead and took revenge on their warboss at that moment. Yarrik cut off Ugulhard's claw after he was dead already and attached it to the stump Ugulhard left him with in order to remind the Orks of what happened that day. He knew exactly what he was doing, since he was one of the Astra Militarums leading experts on Greenskins back then, that's probably why he was allowed to keep that claw despite using xenos tech being a capital crime. That whole scene showed that Yarrik is not really a good fighter anymore (if he has ever been one at all, we don't know much about that), but an outstanding strategist blessed with willpower beyond peer.

[@daroldharold6665]

@@GodlordBazi war bosses regularly kill space marines with relative ease, yarrick held his own against ugulhard for about a minute which is extremely impressive for a normal human. In the books yarrick has been shown as a skilled fighter. (Incase you don’t know, there has been 2 yarrick novels released)

If anything the Tau are far closer to being representations of Plato's Ideal Republic. It's a hierarchical society led by ascetic philosopher kings who separate people into solidified casts that best represent their spiritual/physical needs and gifts. The "Greater Good" is literally a ripped version of Plato's ideal of the "good" that all societies led by wise-men pursue, i.e a kind of harmonious, selfless civil virtue where everyone does what is needed of them in their perfect station to ensure eternal order and prosperity for the larger whole.

You can argue that the results are, and I think you'll find wide support across the political spectrum (including many communists) but if you thin the things you describe are inherent and exclusive to communism, I have some bad news. India was ruled by monarchs and THEN my rulers appointed by the British (a constitutional monarchy with limited democracy at the time) Many nations have practiced forced sterilization (including the US, which was actually the first nation to attempt it on a large scale between the 1890s to 1920s, though it was STILL practiced until the 70s.

There's also the myth that Khorne "saved" Khaine from Slaanesh. That's not the case and hasn't been since 8th edition, where it was stated in an excerpt of the Craftworlds Codex that Khaine fought Slaanesh to exhaustion, rendering her too weak to consume the war god as she had the other eldar gods. Instead, she rent him into thousands of shards that he wouldn't challenge her again, each shard falling to rest in a craftworlds infinity circuit. This is great because it doesn't take power away from Khaine and just hand it to Khorne, it shows the war God being the badass he's supposed to be, even against a seemingly insurmountable foe.

For a real-world example, its like the craft secrets of masons or blacksmiths in the middle ages (which some people actually did consider a form of magic) combined with rather absolute religious indoctrination. The knowledge exits that could make the Imperium a paradise secure from all hostile foes. But that knowledge is either locked away in thousands of hidden or forgotten vaults or is dispersed in the heads (or whatever body cavity the mem-coils are crammed in to) of a million tech priests that are frequently in violent doctrinal dispute with around 60% of the other tech priests and thus sharing of that knowledge to build something grand doesn't happen...

I'd bet there are places and entire worlds where despite the official line xenos are tolerated or even places where there are formal alliances. But all it takes is one overzealous Inquistor to show up and order an exterminatus or one farseer to order a planet wiped because of a vision that maybe it would save one craftworld and suddenly everyone is back to square one. The Aeldari are too proud. The Drukhari are too sick. The Orcs too bloodthirsty. The Imperium too dogmatic. Chaos too... Chaotic. Even the Tau I think are too ambitious.

Its something you see really clearly with The Guard, you read a Ciaphas Cain novel it gives you a good idea of how The Guard would function (and how pleasant a lot of Imperial world's can be), briefing, sensible tactics, competent, experienced officers, but much of the rest just shows the Guard walking slowly into enemy fire and being massacred on mass 'cause Grimdark, The Fall of Cadia's literally meme set piece followed by meme set peice (and bares zero resemblance to the worldwide campaign, Imp. Navy shot Abbadons fleet out of space) and the rule sets haven't let you create seriously customised IG armies since 4th edition which really enforces the meme image, for the most varied fighting force (see any Sabbat World book) in history, an awful lot of em look like Cadians now.

However, the Ork belief that he's unkillable doesn't actually make him unkillable, it's more like a debuff to the Orks facing him. It doesn't make him stronger but makes the Orks weaker or less combat effective. Yarrick can still be killed like any other human, he just has a sizable combat advantage against the Orks.

The current biggest dynasty, the Sautekh, are currently considered one of the biggest threats to the Imperium alongside Chaos and the Hive Fleets.

​@@idkusernameeggatron4652 At a fundamental level, Space Marines are Human, both in spirit and genetics. They are Humans who have been modified to be living weapons, to have a specific purpose, unlike the rest of Humanity, but that does not mean that they stop being Human at all. For practical purposes, They have been indoctrinated on a physical level. Although the Space Marines have a reputation for being asexual, the reality is that their biological augmentations only inhibit, but do not eliminate, their sexual appetites. In fact, it can be said that this depends more on the gene-seed in question, most of the Space Marines are asexual, but the Space Wolves continue to feel sexual urges. Lukas the Trickster has in fact had multiple children even after becoming Astartes. Which indicates that they are not infertile, most simply lose interest in reproduction and love.

[@AAhmou]

I do believe that the biological enhancement would in fact influence the genetic structure, sure that may not make them less human.

[@DamnedUsernameThing]

I'm pretty sure they are genetically augmented but it doesn't make as big of a difference as the biological augmentations from the implanted organs. Space Marines are known to resemble their Primarch, but considering they recruit from worlds all across the galaxy... Well you aren't implying that all Space Marines that are ever recruited just coincidentally happen to look like their Primarch, are you? Particularly with the Alpha Legion, where Space Marines resemble their Primarch so closely that everyone in the legion can act as a body double for Alpharius. Now keep in mind that Space Marines are typically recruited right when puberty starts, which is when an individual's body most drastically begins to alter. The process of becoming a Space Marines must modify their genetics if they all start to look like their Primarch after they're done. Because definitely none of the organs are specifically designed to make that happen.

My points is that while hive worlds make up a good chunk of the Imperium's pop, it isn't anywhere near close to being 99%. As the vast majority of the Imperium's planets are civilized worlds; which can easily have pops of up to 10 billion or more.

The argument that there are no good guys in 40k is in technicality correct, and it should be. "Good guys" are what serves as our proxies. As people or faction to root for. But in actuality one persons good guy is another persons villain. 40k clashed different ideologies together and explored how these ideologies would interact. Because of that you can pretty much choose any faction in 40k and go with them as being the only good guys. Yes, including Chaos and Tyranids. But that doesn't make them "good", it only means that their ideology is close to yours.

its good to know that there's something good in W40k; that was one of the things that turned be off from immersing myself in 40k's lore. if there was nothing good why is there reason to fight outside of some imperial dick-measuring contest of whose suffering from power creep the most or who's the most evil, or what place is the most horrid place to live. I might even throw some money your way via patreon subscribtion

I feel like the "no good guys" approach is still pretty fun. It's like the catharsis of playing as the villains, but you have many options to choose from. Do you want to be a jackboot cracking down on rebels? A bloodthirsty craven lunatic? A band of green drunken football hooligans? A galactic terminator uprising? An alien parasite? All that and more, pick your favorites and go nuts beating the snot out of the other guys. At least that's what I liked about it. That and the Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors fans smugly painting loyalist models in those colors.

@@redeye4516 your not wrong, from a gaming perspective. I was thinking of more of an (albeit stupid, considering that this is ultimately a game with a rich lore attached to it, that is meant to entertain people in the way you mentioned) immersion/lore/narrative-cohesion perspective. if there are no good, are there really any bad guys? a universe with only evil, can only end with its own self-destruction. however, the answer of whether there's good in this universe is answered in this video, and without it, the answer is kind of obvious, because evil needs good to feed upon and sustain itself. in W40K, as I use to believe before watching this video, 50 shades of evil rules the galaxy and good is powerless and at its mercy in one way or another. they can look cool sometimes, but everything in W40k is bound to be bad in some form or another. before this video, I wasn't asking for paragons of virtue or pure-hearted protagonists, just some kind of redeeming quality; I'm not into misery porn (the world is kind of overstocked with it thanks to certain political entities). Thanks to this video, there kind of is one

Algebron, Primarch of the Math Eaters says: "If 1/100 of worlds are hive worlds with an average of 500 billion of people each, and 99/100 of worlds are regular worlds with an average of 1 billion people each, 5/6 of people live on hive worlds. Variables for the variable god, constants for the constant throne, let the galaxy multiply, raaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Craftworlders actually have to keep their emotions in check to stay off of Slaanesh's radar while alive. That's what the highly disciplined lifestyle of "the path"™ is all about. Spirit stones are just to keep the soul from entering the warp upon death. And as pointed out in the video, this is very old lore.
