WHAT IF CHAOS RULED THE 40K GALAXY? | WARHAMMER 40,000 LORE / SPECULATION

OH GOD please pls pls please GM let us have just one damn Space 4x game like this, like Endless Space 2, where we get to actually play a vast galaxy size map--obviously nowhere near ES2 I mean ES2 hugest maps would be like a segmentum tops--and much like the Risk style play of Dawn of War 1 Dark Crusade and get to do an actual galaxy wipe. I've craved this game since forever and it saddens and baffles me that there's a 40k game in literally EVERY SINGLE DAMN GENRE, EVEN CHESS FFS *except* the one damn genre the whole setting was practically made for: space 4x. The closest we ever got was Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 and Gladius, but the one is literally just a single world setting (so basically it's like any other 40k game, scaled down even because Inquisitor Martyr and Rogue Trader I can fly around, in others I can fight over sectors) the other is just giving me clusters of systems. I know I know, it's practically impossible to actually do this in a realistic way for the same reason we can never see an easy win for any faction within the next couple thousand years, but still. Space 4x I'd want in a heartbeat. I guess it would just be really weird to pull off because traditional space 4x rely on Risk-like territories, or even RTS like contiguous national territories, as opposed to 40k where everyone except like the Tau is fairly distributed all over the galaxy. So you'd have worlds within everybody's territory and I don't know how to deal with that. You'd basically have active threat borders and active wars at all directions at all times and it'd make any remotely accurate depiction a rather interesting inversion of traditional space 4x because it'd make the starting the most absolutely hectic, chaotic, desperate struggle for everybody to survive, followed by massive hegemonic blobs in a slow, long attrition grind likely looking like Chaos, necrons, nids etc. slowly just steamrolling the entire galaxy hundreds of worlds at each turn in a slow but steady grind. I really don't know how you should do that one accurately but I would love to play a total galaxy wipe non-canon 40k space 4x where you could more or less decide how 40k itself actually ends. Who knows. Maybe even the Tau could convert the Eldar and Mankind to Greater Good and slowly impose order on the whole galaxy lol.

37:16 a good explanation would be that they literally never had a clue about chaos. Remember that the Eye of Terror is where the Eldar homeworlds once were. The network of pylons surrounding it was probably just part of the conflict between the Eldar and Necrons.

[@varelmarais2222]

Thinking about it a little more tho, it's totally plausible that the chronomancers could've seen into the future and found that, maybe not what's known as Chaos now, but _something_ would emerge from there. Or maybe that area is where the Enslaver Plague of all things started and they were fighting them too, who knows lmao

[@Schmierhaar]

From recent snippets in White Dwarf magazines, we learned more specific details about the Eye of Terror. Apparently, it was a wound in reality that was torn during the War in Heaven. Then the Necrons closed the wound again with the pylons, but unfortunately, the core of the Eldar Empire happened to be were the old rift was located. The birth of Slaanesh ripped the wound open again, and that's the Eye of Terra we know today. I had the impression that many fans hated this kind of retcon, but I'm okay with it

Looking at what would be required for the Tyranids to dominate and achieve their "win" status would probably be the most obvious interesting followup, considering how they're always presented as one of, if not 'the' ultimate threat the galaxy faces. But on the other hand, the sheer improbability and herculean feat of the Tau achieving theirs would also make a very fun topic to explore, considering just how high they would need to be punching above their weight class to even reach a hundredth of what would be required.

Good video. Only piece I think you may have missed is Eldar assisting the Imperium against chaos. Eldrad, Yvranne, ... even the Avatar in Shadow Point. Numerically, I'm not sure this amounts to much, but strategically it could be a force multiplier toward both races' goals. Granted those are likely esoteric interactions compared to direct conflict between them. Eldrad or a unified Aeldari in concert with the two returned primarchs' acumen pairs up well. On the other end, while I doubt the Godblight would be something to kill the Emperor - at least in GW's continuation of the lore - it could severely weaken the Emperor or raise the stakes in the Great Game (if the Emperor is ascending).

If Chaos was a parasite, then the death of its host would be only a Pyhrric victory for a short amount of time before it would look for another more healthy host lest it die along with it.

[@JustSomeDamnGinger]

Love this. Chaos is such an interesting faction as a whole. The Imperium achieving total domination would be interesting because I don't know if they would be able to adapt to an existence without war. Even if they somehow evaded any chaos corruption, they would likely still be armed to stop revolts. I suppose then the risk would just be humanity going back to regional factions.

[@ДАРТАНЬЯН-з2щ]

Ironically if Imperium won and defeated all its enemies it would have to reform greatly to be able to operate in oeace time. If they don't do it or fail it - Imperium will be destroyed by rebellions and revolutions from within because without outside threats people ( and planetar elites too ) will see no reasons to support opressive regime. The enemies of Imperium are the dire threat to it, by there are also the very thing what keeps it together.

[@sormiliha]

There would still probably be villages, towns, or even worlds where everything would go on just as normal. Even in warp some worlds seem to be just weirdly normal. Warp is sort of infinite so it fits all kinds. Most of it of course would just be torture. But even chaos knows that without hope torture is meaningless.

I think Chaos absolutely would just destroy the Galaxy if they were capable of it. What makes me say this? They've done it before. Chaos in 40K is canonically the same Chaos in Warhammer Fantasy. The Chaos Gods are not just fighting across the galaxy but across countless unknown dimensions, realms, and verses. They would claim ultimate victory over the other forces of the galaxy and destroy everything in an orgy of bloodshed and mayhem because they could simply turn their attention to another of their playgrounds.

Thank you for this video Loremaster, I just love hearing about chaos stuff.

[@LS1056]

I find it as a paradox, a hypocrisy. For chaos to become unified, the warp needs to bound. Probably the gods to die and be formed a new. If anything I think it would take a thing to draw the union of the gods. I would assume another God forming or something that distorts warp, like Necron or Tyranid. Even then the gods would still make plays. I mean didn't Tzeetch stop himself from winning to make it interesting? I feel like they would never unify at current form and lore. Unless GW decides to go, "You're all friends now"

Chaos would be bored as sin if they won honestly

[@novibes5619]

Both the necron and the tyranids are both the 2 players most set up for the ultimate victory. In most factions when discussing what they would need to win it almost always an “if”. If the Imperium could gain a small respite from the endless onslaught ,if the Eldar could be free from the ever present threat of Slannesh, if Chaos could ever unite, so on and so forth with almost every faction. But for the Necron and the Tyranid it’s no longer an “if” but a “when”. For the Necron you have 2 opposing factions the Silent King and the Storm Lord. So once the inevitable showdown happens between them the Necron would be, save a few small dynasties, completely united. On top of this for each tomb world that comes back online the balance of power shifts tips more and more in the Necron’s favor. For the Tyranid it’s pretty simple their ultimate victory comes when the main swarm arrives. Of course though, if we even live long enough to see the Warhammer 40,000’s end times, the faction that wins will always be the one that drives the most model sales, and the lore will simply change to reflect that.

[@dembro27]

In my mind, the only faction that could conquer the galaxy is the Tyranids, and it's surprisingly easy for them to do so on paper; they are ridiculously overpowered. Defeating all mortal foes is feasible for them, which just leaves the Warp. Even if they didn't have their Shadow in the Warp effect, the scouring of all other life in the galaxy should weaken Chaos substantially, perhaps even to the point where the Chaos Gods lose sentience or, at the very least, can no longer influence realspace. And once they were victorious, they wouldn't need to worry about administering an empire, maintaining the happiness of their citizens, or any of that nonsense. They'd just move on to the next galaxy.

[@toastie8173]

I think what you said at the end could relate to a similar situation as in Isaac Asimovs The gods themselves, where humanity starts trading matter with beings in a different universe with different atomic laws, so that both essentially create energy for free, but they discover that bringing matter from another universe also brings a bit of their laws over, so the threat becomes that the local change in the strong nuclear force would cause the sun to go supernova. Maybe real space also bleeds into the warp same as the warp bleeds into the materium. Seeing as daemons hate reality, maybe the gods dont want to pollute their realm with physics any more than necessary.

"greetings, inquisitor. yes, its this one inquisitor. yes, the same one as always, inquisitor. the emperor protects indeed, inquisitor. bye inquisitor."

[@mylesjohnson7351]

It says in the new core book that the living in the imperium is the worst existence imaginable but I feel like if chaos would be far worse some people in the imperium have horrible fates done upon them but if chaos ruled that would be the norm

[@jwb_666]

Just got home, sitting down to have dinner, your timing is perfect! Also the answer to the title is obviously a Utopia

[@rijadsabic]

Don't know about other factions, but Chaos for sure will never succeed in ruling or conquering the Imperium. Because within the Imperium there is force more chaotic than Chaos gods, force more hectic then Eye of Terror, more complicated than any Tzeentchian scheme and that is Adeptus Administratum. Sorry Abbadon but you are missing one paper, denied, get out.

After the revolution, who's going to clean up the corpses on Monday? Robute Guilliman - Probably

[@Marinealver]

Oh Warhammer 40,000 is going to go away and we will get some new franchise where each faction has their own Galaxy, Chaos will have a Galaxy, Necrons will have a Galaxy, Orks will have a Galaxy, Tau will have a Quasar or Magellan Cloud or something. Eldar will have some sort of wraithbone connected craftworldls orbit around a dyson sphere of wraithbone.

praise thy lore master for this cherished content after a hard day on the tools. emperor be with you sir. cheers

[@michielmeeuwisse1282]

Really cool idea for a series, cant wait to see the others.

[@mesajongte]

Luetin, you are so precious! Never stop doing what you do best. I play your videos to put me to sleep but it has an adverse effect. Your words are so enthralling that my mind is fixated on it and I become more awake.

[@connormccool9984]

What a thing to open KZbin to after a few beers, it’s the unexpected ones that are the best 👌

[@shmeeeeeep8797]

Love it love it love it! Asurani/Aeldari next. How could they possibly build back to galactic dominance?

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

“Yes, Lord Inquisitor, this vox channel right here.”

[@snoox27]

What a way to start my saturday morning

[@Tpazmachine]

Pure excellence. Thank you. Your content and quality draws me every time where I can allow myself to just listen/watch without care and enjoy an immersion from another point of view. I don't know what else to say, it means a lot :) Well done.

[@derekburge5294]

If it weren't for plot reasons, the end game of the galaxy would simply be 'crons and 'nids, guest starring the orks from time to time. *I would love that so goddamn much.*

[@mozkuthehermit5909]

"Chaos gods pay momentary atension" Tzeentch having adhd with the universe

[@Michael-zr8xl]

We have been blessed with yet another master piece.

[@ShahbazBokhari]

Excellent. Even though not a single thing over the last 20 years has ever made me see Chaos as anything but being anathema to civilization and yes, Evil, I always welcome an hour of lore rambles.

[@ChrisFrosin]

No surprise really that id love to hear your thoughts in necrons once again ruling the galaxy 😁😁😁😀

[@aaronhanten6830]

I would love to see a Tyranid domination video, you could go into the fact that there are hive fleets comes from different directions and that they actually surround the galaxy. Hope you pick this.

[@myriad9597]

Would be a short video, "Despite all the resistance, the 40k galaxies biomass was eaten. The end.".

[@elfomarcio]

For all its silliness and over-the-topness (look i invented a word) i often feel like warhammer 40k is one of the only sci-fi works that truly makes you fell how freking huge a galaxy really is, compared even to more “scientifically accurate” sci-fi

[@ABlankAndrew]

Around 19 minutes in, the concept of the Cabal predicting that Horus would eventually come to resent Chaos and commit a second “heresy” is fascinating to me. Perhaps the human spirit is so strong that with enough time, even full chaos corruption can be conquered

[@colcaboom1626]

You know I am just gonna say it: In the scope of the great game the Empire's primarchs are and have always been utterly non-factor. And without the emperor, if the primarchs all showed up tomorrow, things wouldn't change much for Chaos.

[@octavianpegasus6681]

i absolutely love the idea of a series like this! The Tyranids would be a fun thing to tackle next, follows the topic of chaos rather well

[@anexistanthuman2435]

I can answer the tyranids one for you: they eat everything and move in to the next galaxy

[@fix0the0spade]

The Necrons sit around in the now empty Galaxy thinking, "well this is nice,"

[@Storiaron]

​@@fix0the0spadenot really, they want a nice species with soul so they can try and transfer themselves back into a living body. So the necrons would be angrily going back to sleep

[@matthewpekelny9761]

When you eventually do if Humanity ruled the galaxy (again), I'd like to see it from 2 angles. First from the angle that it happened because the emperor somehow returned to his full strength, and that was what started the snowball that lead to humanity coming back on top. The other is if it was some other factor, but the Emperor remained on the golden throne. The emperor coming back is the only thing I can see conceivably lead to that outcome at all so I am not sure what that other factor that might be, but in any event I imagine an Emperor controlled galaxy and one controlled by some other human person or group being rather different places.

[@grimcurios]

A man can dream of a darker future... and I like it.

[@greasybumpkin1661]

More of this series pls!

[@vladimirmihnev9702]

In the dark grimnes of the Orks there is always someone to crump

[@foliss7575]

The Necron blackstone pylons around the Eye of Terror weren't there to contain the Eye, they were there to contain the Aeldari Empire . . . . It was basically a defensive line around their most threatening opponents before they went into slumber. Wether they were actively used during that period is largely irrelevant since the point of the slumber was to wait for the Eldar to weaken, and then fracturing a weakened opponent with rings of null zones would be a fantastic long term strategy. That these defenses caught the EYe of Terror seems more like a happy accident to me than anything else.

[@komiks42]

I see it as necron realising the danger of warp, and deciding that they should plan against it. Was is Eldar that they feared might unleash it? Or annyone else? Dosn't matter, it might be a problem in the future and better to have plan against it.
