The FTL's of the races also work well to echo their themes. Humanity's FTL works well enough most of the time, but creates nightmarish conditions through a mixture of not understood technology and expendability. Eldar's method used to be the best form, but is deteriorating and dying off slowly despite the great efforts of their race. Orks are indifferent to what would ail other races, and actively endanger themselves for fun. Necrons posses the highest level of non-warp tech, though it is fragmented between the dynasties and is threatened by the instability of time and the troubles psyche of its wielders. Tyranids do BS stuff that makes them a good plot device antagonist. Tau are the newborn race, just beginning their foray into the galaxy proper, and use reliable and safe tech that doesn't match the quantity or quality of the other races, but its lack of volatility provides them the maximum use of their smaller size as well as prevents unnecessary casualties in support of their greater good.

Regarding the Tyranid warp travel thing... Couldn't they just, you know, fold space again after the first 90%, you know, traveling 90% of the remaining distance?

[@monkeybusiness673]

I guess you can think of that in terms of DUNE lore: The Guild Navigators in Dune are essentially supercomputer brainiacs that make all the monstrously difficult calculations necessary to "plot a route" along which space will be folded. I guess 'Nids do something similar, but maybe not quite as efficiently? As a hive mind, it might just be simpler to go "Cool, that's close enough; now on to the buffet!" Also, folding space would require insane amounts of energy, so I doubt they can do it in quick succession.

[@mduckernz]

Only if you totally discount energy use (which really matters to nids)

[@AverageAwesomeDude]

The whole 90% thing is not a hard set rule, the main thing is that they have to slow down before getting too close. Too close in galactic terms are distances of hundreds of billions of kilometre, you could miss a planet by a solar system sized gap and in the galactic big picture you pretty much just scraped by. It’s not like a consume 90% of a set distance it’s more like they’re going so fast only consuming 90% of the distance is how they control their travel to arrive in a specific place. They need to slow down in order to get their bearings right enough to actually get where they wanna go instead of missing it by hundreds of light years or crashing into the planet at relativistic speeds vaporising the planet and part of the fleet and bringing a single tear to every tyrannid eye because of all that lost biomass

What about Mandeville points "Before a starship outfitted with an Imperial Warp-Drive can enter the Immaterium, it must first travel at sublight speed to a star system's so-called Mandeville Point. This is the closest distance that a voidship can safely enter or exit Warpspace from its origin or to its destination system, respectively"

Mankinds faster than light travel is literally just like opening a nether portal, walking forward a bit, and opening another one into the real world

[@RyanCR3000Omega19]

You should have said: At the end of the day, The orcs are the only one that are good in every departement of ftl travel

[@Living_Life242]

I loved how in the Dark Heresy rule book, there’s entire sections going over space travel for the various factions. Imperials with the cellar fields and warp engines piercing through a hellish dimension that can spit you out after a random amount of time, sometimes even before you left. The Eldar with their beautiful ships made of wraithbone, with massive sails that ride on gravitational waves, etc. etc. The Orks? “‘Ere we go! ‘Ere we go!” And that’s all it said! 🤣

[@cergic]

Love the event horizon reference.

[@valeon7303]

Ok so for the necron lore, ita actually sort of both according to Battlefleet Gothoc Armada; for jumps between neighboring systems, they use inertaless drives to take them there. For super long distance, they can use dolmen gates and appear in an entierly different sector of the galaxy, at preset destinations.

[@omenmarin7903]

The chaos realm of warp is made up of the collective thoughts of every single being alive, even if not sentient, as long as it has a soul, it exist in warp, so by micro seconds, if all sentien beings thoughts are alight, thinking all the same, for just for a micro second, it can create new gods and these would died the next second making a big ass explosion of energy, imagine that but happening 24/7 unstoppable, that's how the warp kinda works, now when that energy is able to be stable and take a shape or form base on thoughts, a demon is created and its power will depend entirely of random bullshit cuz GW don't explain shit or at least that's how I think it works......... hey if GW and official sources don't explain shit, we might as well explain ourself right?

[@EMPERORSPROTECTION-TERRA4LIFE]

They sort of do explain stuff in different books. I read somthing about whisps of smoke ish stuff swirling around and forming faces that make screams then dissappesr as quickly. There's loads of mad explanations but yeh it is a bit weird. I feel the new book explain a lot like darkness in the blood and rhe guilliman books with the emps and mortarion.

[@kelman727]

They retconned out the warp skimmer drive a few editions ago. They use FtL drives and stasis booths. The wormhole was caused by massed use of anti-matter drives, not the Death Guard.

[@grumpymonk2460]

the death guard were going to come in through that portal the anti matter drives made when they went boom

[@nuller87]

You should do a video on the most radical (crazy mofo's) Inquisitors. Good mention would be Fyodor Karamazov. Just the fact he sits a top the Throne of Judgement and show NO mercy towards actual innocent people, as they're guilty of wasting his time, and will be burned to ashes. His actions are some of the most insane I have read.

[@chiefkeef74]

No wonder the Star Child picked him

[@eviljoshy3402]

I think the movie Event Horizon is the best example of the bad shit that can happen when a ship goes into the warp.

[@jtfbreedlove]

Speaking of Orks, Tuska the demon killa liked killing demons so much he & his waagh got the attention of got the attention of Khorne and are cutently engaged in a perpetual demon war outside his citadel.

[@bastiwen]

So basically Star Wars Hyperspace travel is a mix of Human warp travel and Eldar webway travel since you can technically use you hyperdrive anywhere to travel through this sort of parallel dimension but it's really dangerous to not use a hyperspace lane for multiple reasons like crashing through a star or a planet, running out of fuel and being lost in hyperspace away from everybody, weird entities (at least in legends, which is the real canon to me), etc.

[@omarilee7011]

Majorkill, you should make a video on the Octarius war that going on ,since I know that a lot awesome moments in this war , I hope you appreciate the suggestion .

[@isthissparta1485]

The Orks actually developed a unique FTL system during the War of the Beast to transport their war moons around without the warp, using subspace instead. The Mechanicus spent most of the war infiltrating and reverse engineering the system in case they ever needed to move Mars

[@HollowEffect1621]

I think the "female audience" is just the couple times a week I forget to switch from my wife's profile lol

[@nateharder2286]

My headcannon for the Necrons is all the different types of FTL exist and they they treat them like car brands.

[@cushvonrich4873]

Doesn't the T'au FTL version just safe for T'au because they have an insignificant presence in the warp but all their auxiliary, notably human and kroot, get fuck up by deamon ?

[@eichler721]

I think the Necrons should have all the methods. The Inertia less drives are what they had before the C'tan and bio transference. The Bifrost thing and Phasing is what they used after the transference and the gates both Dolman and wherever they adapted after the Old Ones damages their Phasing and Bifrost methods which could have a central thing like the Celestial Orrery does.

[@imorbit0236]

I love it how its basically Canon that Event Horizon is part of the the 40k Universe, and everyone agrees on it

[@vencislavgynev8282]

But in the reality it is not.

[@alterego9082]

Honestly the funniest FTL travel method is from Hitchhiker's guide to galaxy

[@molybdaen11]

I like how all other races uses some kind of magic teleportation while the necrons just went full spaceballs and move with insane speed, ignoring all the problems comming with that.

[@mtpender69]

I now know why I suffered a brain hemorrhage... I tried to understand Necron lore.

[@justaaron2558]

Love the Event Horizon reference.

[@bluenine85]

I think it's worth noting that demons are more vulnerable to physical melee attacks than ranged attacks, so the orks get to do what they love best while it is at peak efficiency, CHOP CHOP WAUGH

[@ErikVonStrix3]

Something else to keep in mind about the webway travel: there are also predators living in it that if encountered you would question if you would rather find a daemon instead

[@celsetialarchives5909]

Really?

[@ageeau]

So happy to see the nod towards Event Horizon!

[@ReverendMeat51]

"Necrons are OP" - said nobody who's ever played Necrons

[@ravenRedwake]

Necrontyr could almost be considered the first evolution of humans or tau, and had super vast technology even before they got converted which shot them up even further when they basically got the synthesis ending to Mass Effect/Became Promethians like in Halo.

[@thevoidlookspretty7079]

I find it way too funny that the Crons have several fast, reliable FTL methods, while humanity may have one, depending on if you call Warp travel reliable.

Somewhere, the Event Horizon still cruises through the warp...

[@GusMortis]

Event horizon is an awesome movie, and a gellar field training video.

[@jamesgordley5000]

So for Necrons, it's basically a spectrum of hard (theoretical physics based) sci-fi FTL, plus the occasional stolen Webway gate.

[@sassyquin707]

I like what you said about equal tech for ftl. I agree

[@drakonna6281]

I could be wrong but i believe for a while the orks had a more advanced method of FTL through subspace when the beast warped a weaponized moon too close to terras confort, unclear how fast that is but seems to be close to instantaneous travel

[@SgtThiel]

As I understand when the eldar can't use the webway to reach a certain place, they also use warp translation and gellar fields like humans do. Love the videos Majorkill

@Majorkill Whoh woah woah (that's English for stop a horse) Majorkill, did Timmy write this part of the script? Human ships can't just pop in and out of the warp wherever they want. Ships need to travel at sub-light speed to a systems Mandeville Point to safely enter and exit the warp. You can jump in to a system at a place other than the Manderville Point but you need some major warp sorcery and sacrifices to chaos to pull it off.
