THE IMPERIUM'S WORST JOBS - Part 3 | WARHAMMER 40,000 Lore / History

[@Luetin09]

Another compilation of 40K Fates and 'Jobs', we're starting to reach a limit tho on documented nightmare roles for humans within the Imperium - sp looking forward to Episode 4 - we may have to delve into the speculative - which may be no bad thing as it allows us to go forward and back in history, and off into tangents that have not been covered. So I look forward to that when we get there. AS USUAL enjoyed? Drop a like, consider the old subscribe ! thanks all !

is there any way we could get a look into the real world history of the lore? those of us who are newer to the universe have only ever known a 40k that has deeply established lore, but dont know how it evolved over time. like when did genestealers stop being their own thing and become part of the tyranids? how much information was there about the horus heresy before the book series started in 2006? like a history of the editions and codices and stuff?

I think servitor maintenance would be a pretty grim job. Every day, you're up close and personal with one of the most common horrors of the Imperium, staring into the eyes of human beings that have been reduced to unthinking, unquestioning machines. There's also the possibility that at any time, one of the sullen, expressionless faces carted into your shop could be one you recognize. Sure, it might not be the most dangerous or strenuous job, but I can't imagine dealing with something like that on a daily basis wouldn't have an effect on most people

You talking about chaos marines having a disconnect in their perception of time reminded me exactly why I love chaos marines. The fact that chaos terminators for instance most likely are veterans of the Horus heresy. The idea that a singular soldier has 10,000 years of combat experience under their belt is just such a chilling prospect. And I adore for instance how in red tithe shadraith just teleports throughout the decks of the ship with no care for normalcy, how he views the night lords before him as petulant children entirely naive. I read that book for the carcharadons but fell in love with characters like shadraith.

[@ThoseKidsAreEPIC]

Very new to Warhammer in general and loving your videos for learning more about it. I imagine a pretty horrible role in the Imperium would be the people they test medicine/drugs/augmentations on. Rapidly going through and building on withdrawals, side effects, and rejections would quickly demolish your body and mind in difficult to expect manners and after enough of this would leave you vegetative to a point where the Imperium would no longer learn anything from testing on you and they'd need to find a role for a new mindless cripple and I already know of a few types of jobs - thanks to your channel - that would likely become their destiny. There's an argument they could use criminals or heretics for these jobs, but most likely they'd want people with more baseline and average starting points to get more accurate data, so they'd probably set up controllable communities where swift romantic pairing would be encouraged or enforced since the children would mutate to pointless degrees if a parent is too far along with their jobs. So likely it would be large communities of people being experimented on, knowing their fates ahead of time, likely having to support their collapsing but still useful family members, bearing children that they know will live out the same fates, all with the knowledge that they will all eventually be condemned to cyborg like servicer fates despite doing nothing wrong to deserve such a fate.

[@lamb_link]

In all honesty, I think being the 40k equivalent of a repair technician would be an absolutely harrowing experience. Imagine reporting to a Mechanicus adept, who refers to you as at best a number and looks like something between a pale, gaunt man and some kind of cyber zombie, and being told it’s your job to swap out the blades on a meat packing plants saws, or to replace the pilot lights on a ship’s sub-warp engines or, worst of all, perform maintenance on a whole slew of servators. Now imagine crawling through whatever rusted gantries and ducts connect wherever you are to where you need to be, along with whatever poor souls share your unfortunate task, a good chance any one wrong step sends you plummeting down from such a height that the bottom can’t be seen from where you are. Then you finally get to you task, the machines still running (because it would be inefficient to to them off) and you just have to move past those running meat saw blades, one wrong step meaning you be part of tomorrow’s lunch. Or rappelling down past idling engines to swap the broken pilot light, the heat making you drip with sweat, knowing if you drop even a single tool you’ll be killed for incompetence or disrespecting the machine god. And the worst task of all, the servators. To begin, the smell, imagine the pure rancid stench that is sweat, machine grease, urine feces, and most probably blood. Then you walk up and see twisted flesh and metal mockeries of human beings staring back at you with blank empty eyes, perhaps you even recognise them. As you open them up, what was once the contained smell of human waste is put on full display, as you scrape and scrub away any leakages, likely covering yourself in its muck. Perhaps worse of all is the potential that the servator’s mind wipe was faulty and as you poke and prod it’s insides it flinches and perhaps even weeps from its eyes, all the while you feel the pressing guilt of what you’re doing, knowing you’ll probably have to do it again. You’ll likely die during any of your jobs, and even the less lethal ones will make you wish you were dead. Pure hell.

[@mobbofmobs8937]

I was looking to see if anyone else thought of that. I think that any part of making a servator has to be very grim to. First you have to deal with mostly violent criminals try to get out. Then trying to add augments to people of wildly different body types that if you mess up could at best, take a wild swing at you. Then there are all of the "extra bits" after you are done cutting and probably a bit of waste leakage just as matter of course. There is probably a lot more it's just a bit to late for me to think about now

[@piotryellow]

This one hits hard after just playing Hardspace Shipbreaker. Nicely done.

[@CosmicBackgroundRadiation01]

I’ve literally cried thinking about 3 things: 1. The thoughts of someone in a penitence engine. 2. The thoughts of someone captured and tortured by a humunculae. 3. The sheer hatred of lower beings by the Drukhari and aeldari.

[@spaceangelmewtwo9074]

Two for one with the Eversor Temple of the Officio Assassinorum. You have the Eversors themselves, which are basically just augmented, drug-fuelled nightmares like the archoflagellents who are given spikes of pain every second of every hour of every day anytime they're not in cryosleep and have a target to kill in order to instill in them as much blind hatred of their target as possible. They're the least subtle tool the Officio possesses, essentially being berserk killers who will end the lives of pretty much anyone and anything between them and their intended target. Given how mentally unstable they are, the Eversor assassins constantly record the events of their mission so that the record may be recovered when the assassin's task is complete and is put back into cryosleep. You can't exactly get a verbal after-action report from an Eversor, and even if you could, it probably would be along the lines of "I killed the first dude with a wooden toy horse, and then killed his buddy by ramming the first dude's legs up his asshole." Heavy on the grizzly details but lacking in actual information. However, this leads into the theoretical job of being the most likely heavily traumatized Officio adept who must watch the recordings in order to compile the Eversors' after-action reports.

Finally, the trilogy is complete.

Recommendations: companion servitors (the bookkeepers skull) Cogitator computation unit (I am ...) Retinue of an inquisitor (eisenhorn/ravenor/bequin trilogies) Pdf trooper (double eagle) Curst (pariah, penitent) Underhive ganger (status: deadzone) Abhuman (wraithbone phoenix) Twist (eisenhorn: malleus) Pariah (eisenhorn/bequin books)

[@LabTech41]

A video talking about the historical references of the 40K universe would be interesting. It'd probably be a lot of Roman/Greek/Persian/etc. history given the Imperium's aesthetic, but the universe draws a lot on historical events, so bringing the two together would have value.

[@bringmydreamstolife]

love the videos as always, through you my casual interest in WH 40K turned into a well chronicled hobby and passion, so thank you and keep up the good work.

[@JjayNC8L]

I like to imagine gelt more like a token than a flat out valued currency. Like a "get whatever you need and are paying for within reason" coin, that is recognized and useable as such across the imperium, and as such, valuable to anyone no matter where they are in the imperium, given ofc they are near barterable resources to begin with

[@ATF-]

John Wick coin kinda thing

[@eichler721]

Great video and series love the ones you featured here. I will say a miner working on an asteroid in space with terrible void gear and nobody caring about your life would also fit in one or the horrible jobs plus you have to deal with raiders, warp travel in a poorly kept ship and the worst food possible

[@steffithemad8327]

The worst job would be the poor schmuck that has to change the emperors diaper daily.

[@Kropothead]

Implying the Emperor poops? Oh, I’m so calling heresy on that. Any ecclesiarch will tell you that His faultless divine metabolism obliterates all matter without waste. Otherwise he’d be shitting big piles of psyker all day.

[@braylenlevi3229]

I’d imagine a mortician would be a pretty crazy job. What with all the crazy and wild ways one can end up going out in this universe. Assuming half the time there’s anything left to be sent to a mortician

[@jonlee6794]

reposting a request: is there any way we could get a look into the real world history of the lore? those of us who are newer to the universe have only ever known a 40k that has deeply established lore, but dont know how it evolved over time. like when did genestealers stop being their own thing and become part of the tyranids? how much information was there about the horus heresy before the book series started in 2006? who is matt ward and why does everyone hate him? like a history of the editions and codices and stuff?

[@johnstatler1345]

In response to the invitation I love the real historical references; I think they add a lot of value. I feel the same about identifying all the parallels to earlier literature, especially mythology. So much of Warhammer is unabashedly drawn from pre-existing material; which is a great way to make things epic and is more fully appreciated when it's more understood.

[@Pimpchimp1000]

Yay Luetin Video!

[@danieloconnell231]

I'm listening to this while I'm cleaning bathrooms. Sure puts my current task in a different perspective 😆

[@Oroberus]

Yay, 77 minutes of grim-dark social horror!

[@Inkling2B]

Excellent point about ambiguity. Not everything can be categorized so neatly. We live in a universe of unknowns.

[@kevinthegibster]

Love your channel and always pumped to see a new video drop!

[@corwinberry]

Oh Luetin what would I do without your chill ass voice helpin me get through some shitty times. Add a thanks button.

[@erdnase1872]

A series on necromunda would be amazing. Thank you for the fantastic videos.

[@terkish6203]

Thankful for your content. Have a good thanksgiving if you take part in such things. If not, then feel the love anyway. Dont know why i was not subd to you. You have always been in my recommends for every new vid.

[@psychotripnerdstuff]

Luetin I adore your 40k vids. But I would also love some history vids with the same vibe and energy. Or even just referencing more real history to help explain things in your 40k videos. Sort of like your resource worlds video. Real examples really helps immerse you into the 40k verse.

[@schneideralexander54]

You mentioned if you should a video on random history facts and I believe you have skill to execute that. I remember your video about the worst diseases in 40k where you briefly talked about the rye fungus that was causing people to trip out in France, but was over shadowed by the plague. I remember looking it up after the video and found that a similar thing happened during the witch trials. Maybe consider a video showing historical events that 40k draws from and making comparisons

[@sealking3838]

I think that Nobles might have huge Harems to pick from to fulfill their needs so that may be quite unpleasent.

[@Mentz_Abend]

1:00:10 You've done a stunning job at detailing and depicting the ever growing and insanely massive world of Warhammer 40K lore. It will be delightful to sit and listen if you also go through our own history the same way. So Yes, please do.

[@loomingzenith9279]

Every job is vital to the Imperium. To say otherwise is Heresy

[@robertshores7937]

Praise the God-Emperor another amazing video from our Lore Master Luetin. Honestly these videos are some of my favorite aside from the MOST INSANE AND POWERFUL WEAPONS videos. Keep up with the top quality content you absolute MAD LAD!
