For the guys and gal that might be curious, the nutrient bars and paste of the space marines serves a double purpose, not only are they easy to eat and play into the super soldier fantasy, but space marines require a larger variety of minerals like heavy metals and ceramics, which obviously aren’t present in large enough quantities in normal food.

A little curiosity on chaos food: in one of the gaunt's ghost books they explain how the forces of chaos (mostly formed of mortal in this case) spread on conquered world a type of cereal, if i recall right, that grows extremely quickly and in large crops, much more than any imperial coltivation. This allow chaos to never have food supplies issues for his armies but absolutely fucks up the ecosystem of the planet.

Super-virus Farsight enclaves used against Nids was not lost. It just no longer works. That's a thing about Tyranids - you can use bioweapons against them, but only once, since next hive fleet you face would have counter-measures against it built into everything but the most expendable biomorphs.

It is still a bit weird. A completely destroyed hive fleet is not exactly in a position to spread this information. A species can evolve because the more resilient survive to get children.

Now, in the real world, the next level is the Battalion, with a few Companies, a Lieutenant-Colonel, and whatever else they need, but 40K just skips this and goes straight to the Regiment.

I know space marines usually rely on ration bars/paste in field, but I imagine that when not deployed to a combat zone, like when they're home at their respective fortress monastery or home ship, they eat well. After all, they have serfs to attend their every need and whim, and whole worlds to draw on as fiefdoms. So I'd imagine they eat like lords at home.

[@lordgod9958]

It's mentioned that space wolves like to hunt and BBQ in a few different books so im sure other chapters have some culinary preferences on their homeworlds. What exactly is getting eaten I'm not sure tho, probably some sort of alien or genetically engineered food animal

[@hugovandyk9918]

Depends on the chapter. Some live a Spartan existence out of necessity, piety, pride or penance. Others probably see good food as their just due. The best food for the best warriors sort of deal.

[@cinderheart2720]

Since space marines need their food to be so nutrient dense so that they aren't wasting more energy eating it than they get from it (in addition to all the metal and rocks they need added to it to support their freaky skeletons), I believe some chapters give up on "normal" food entirely outside of diplomatic/cultural situations.

I wonder if the kroot have to eat their enemies raw to preserve the dna or if they have some way of preapring them.

[@CaptainKiLL83]

From what I've read the kroot go in raw..

[@morzorkatvfm]

Kroot can cook and they also preserve meat like we do. From my understanding they like cooked meat the same as you or I might and for the same reasons. When Kroot want to take DNA they eat it raw, though the meat they want for DNA tends to come from species with specific exceptional traits. That's why they eat a lot of humans because they can eat them for general nourishment without evolving, due to humans being extremely unexceptional in any one field. I believe it's also one of the reasons why Kroot eat, or rather must eat, their own Kind, to retain their shape as Kroot. I think it's either a general misconception or an oversight by the writers that Kroot hyper evolve after one meal, because if that were true the stereotypical Kroot would not exist as they'd all be weird and wacky shapes and sizes by now. Furthermore, Kroot evolution would only take the DNA that improves themselves in one way or another for a specific situation, like with their dead-end evolutions adapting to be animals, so eating humans won't make them weaker as their core DNA is superior in basically every way. Edit: now that I'm thinking of it, if Kroot want to eat but don't want to evolve, cooking would break down the DNA into an unusable form, thereby avoiding any accidental evolutions. This is a theory but it makes perfect sense.

About the AdMech, always wondered something. Asmuch as they replace their organs for machinery, they still maintain semblance of skin, flesh, brain matter, and even bones. How do they maintain it, considering they remove their digestive system? And i am not good at biology, but isn't necessary a blood stream to spread nutrients and regenerate tissue? Is possible they use skin grafts, or specific injections for the fleshy parts. Is possible too they have a replacement for the heart to pump blood (or similar) to the living bits, and something akin to kidneys to cleanse the fluids. Ofc, this is making sense of a world where space magic, terminator-like bots, and giant ever consuming insectoids live.

Background world building is to me THE FIRST THING you absolutely have to do if you want to make a fictional universe believable, and you better do it well and entirely before starting to tell stories with it. Put up some rules within, cultures, while letting some room for story evolution (the balance between what is already there and immovable and what can change can be hard to figure out, but I believe that taking the needed time to do it correctly is necessary), and there you have a chance of doing something good. The least you have to rely on things such as plot armor to have the story directed were you want, the better it is (and I think everyone knows here how good is 40K as a counterexample of it).

Pretty sure daemons eat souls though its probably acts like energy drinks more than necessary sustenance.

[@navilluscire2567]

It basically means they can gain more power...somehow, and apparently means more status for a deamon based on how many souls they've consumed or even just corrupted. Why are souls so valuable? I dunno, possibly because souls are somehow more stable forms of warp stuff than whatever daemons are made of and so with enough souls eaten or absorbed a daemon could theoretically take in more warp power without risking destroying themselves...atleast not as much of a risk if they tried to do it without such souls to more or less buffer them. But it's never really stated exactly why they are so valued, these abstract things called souls, only theories or speculation like mine above.

[@tau-5794]

Just a small correction, tyranids can eat things other than biomass, like when they consume a planet they don't just eat the plants and animals, they also take all the liquid water and an appreciable percent of the planet's crust, since certain tyranid biomorphs need specific rare minerals to be constructed. They could theoretically consume necrons, but the necrodermis would just phase back to a different tomb complex or break them apart from the inside out.

Hey Majorkill, love your videos. What does each faction do to counter titans? Some have their own titans such as the Orks and Eldar, but others don't. Thinking of Dark Eldar, Necrons and until recently, the Tau.

[@xBoB2017x]

T'au use mantas or stormsurge platforms

[@thorveim1174]

As pointed, the Tau have dedicated gun platforms for titan-killing duty, and if that fails they use large bombers. Dark Eldar tactics mean they counter titans simply buy not fighting them in the first place, and if one pops up they would likely just retreat and hit somewhere more vulnerable. But if they need to fight, some of their weapons can definitely be a threat to titans. As for Necrons, they have more than enough firepower to deal with titans without having to field something the same size: doomsday arks are just the tip of the iceberg of what they can throw at a titan (especially if you go into more obscure lore where the Aeonic Orb becomes a thing... That thing just showing up is enough to make sure that either the necrons win or the planet ceases to exist, and can vaporize titans with no issue by blasting them with the full power of a goddamn star)

other forms of corpse starch include soylen viridians, which mainly consists of pulses and algae that have been grown in vats, as well as another form of corpse starch made from insects that consume the hive's waste.

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

Actually the Tau Fire caste atleast are omnivores and they are known to hunt and eat meat atleast for ceremonial reasons. They also use slaughter houses but it's unknown if it to mainly produce food for them or for their auxularies

[@waynegoddard4065]

One minute in and he's already gone into the Warhammer 40k version of Established Titles 🤣🇬🇧🤟

[@charion1234]

I think possibly the fire cast do eat meat but I am not sure. Although I don't know why else the fire cast would have gone around with spears before if they didn't.

[@pedromunoz7144]

I think that if a tyranid ate a custodes, the custodes cells would fight back

[@Nyghtking]

If the tyranids ever manage to consume a Custodes then shit would get bad quickly.

[@Matthew-ws8md]

Because Custodes are all an individual unique creation rather than templated/mass produced or baseline, would it even matter too much if a Tyranid managed to consume one? (Apart potential access to the Emperor's seed that is.)

[@jackxiao9702]

DNA doesn’t matter I don’t think. otherwise the Tyranids or Humans would deploy an army of cloned Alpha level Paiutes

[@ryaryathompson]

Yo ty so much for single handedly getting me hooked on 40k lore and even peeping in on making my own army...... VIDEO IDEA .... What are the races "vices"? drugs?

[@jamalisujang2712]

Hmm.. I have an idea of fermenting wine in the warp to make it age faster so I can produce more compared to age it normally.

[@patrickbo2045]

That burgundy is so lit, never take that off your shop!

[@LRodz279]

Imagine you joined Khorne and the only thing you can eat is corn

[@fcomolineiro7596]

One thing about corpse starch, it isn't made of human meat directly is made of biomass that primarily ate human corpse (things like insects and worms)

[@MadisonRamanamabangbang]

What does each race taste like!?

[@mahiralraisyi3344]

Video idea: how would each of the primarchs would react and rule the imperium if they were to return before guilliman

[@forgettable8300]

Imagine you spend a thousand years training to be a chef but then still burn toast xD

[@sweatsucks7719]

I garbage picked a bunch of Warhammer calenders out of an Aussie mans rubbish yesterday

[@bunnieskitties293]

Underrated comment honestly.

[@DaemonetteBait]

Hey there Mr Kill. For your 500k I think it would be cool if you did a stream in which you design your own subfaction with the community. Wether that be a new Space Marine chapter, Eldar Craftworld or some other thing. Of course you get to decide what they eat too. Then you can sell the BattleMace versions on your selly bit.

[@trimeerious4349]

Hey I am one of many when I ask for a video about how each of the primarchs would react to and rule the imperium if they were to be the first to return instead of Guilliman

[@jerdasaurusrex557]

You forgot to add "which their spores help produce" after you mentioned grots.

[@thisrandomchannelonyoutube7731]

If you think corpse starch is bad, wait till you hear about the scrape

[@rexlumontad5644]

Mr. Incredible: "FOOD IS FOOD!"

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

"Necrons cant eat" Zahndrekh: Never stopped me before "proceeds to shove food in his nonexistent mouth"

[@whitlermountain7198]

Majorkill the kinda guy who spents a minute talking about corn while the images are slowly turning from left to right

[@NP3GA]

Day fifteen of asking majorkill to compare Abaddon and Archaeon

[@AtheAetheling]

Great video! Though I imagine some earth animals stil exist on other worlds, populations that left with other colonists before the age of strife.

[@TheRewasder97]

As much as GW loves to kick the eldar everytime they want someone to be seen as powerful or threatening, like killing an Avatar or destroying a craft world, the reality is that craft words are not to be messed around with, so being an eldar in a craft world is probably the best choice for being in 40k. One of the core Tau worlds wouldn't be bad either. You also get big tiddy eldar/tau girlfriends, so that's another great bonus.

[@tiredman99]

Hey it's okay. Glad to see you're excited about hitting 400k you deserve it!

[@sovereign9708]

I tell myself I would love to be a dark eldar leader but I’d be taken out by Vect in like two days

[@rawdonjones8814]

You're telling me that no one ever decided to take a cow off of Earth.

[@WingedDynamite]

Flayed Ones: I have no mouth, but I MUST FEAST!!! Random Guardsman: ....help...

[@graemefisher7067]

When majorkill doesn't realize he told us not to buy the hoodies.

[@kristianferencik8685]

A bit of an amendment to the nids vs nurgle story line. It was not that the hive ship started to die. It was that it got infected by nurgles disease (a special one made specifically for the nids) and it was corrupting the hive ship, turning it into a follower of nurgle. So the nids senced the disconnect and decided to nuke it to prevent any further corriptopn to the nids.

[@connormuir6792]

Hey you should do your own alt heresy it would be sweet if done somewhat seriously

[@calugareanuvasile372]

Can you make a video about geography in warhemmer fantasy and warhemer 40k

[@sunniedunbar6889]

I read Space Marines could slowly starve to death without nutrient paste/bars, as few foods could supply enough calories to keep them big boys upright and surly.

[@ravenguard0098]

Its also possible that some(if not all) of the food of the imperium/DA Humanity have been bred selectively or evolved via natural selection over the millennia meaning their could be more nutritious and other possible side effects(e.g giving more energy than normal like in the case of caffeine)be it good and bad. It would also vary world to world.

[@josephrobinson6171]

The Tau one makes no sense though. They constantly refer to hunting don't they? Their culture, especially that of the fire caste's ancestors, revolved almost entirely around hunting out on the plains/savannahs. Their military doctrine is mostly based on ranged ambushes and herding/luring enemies into killzones, like a hunter would with their prey. I imagine maybe their society moved away from that and more towards agriculture, but hunting seems like an integral part of how their society evolved. Plus they have forward facing eyes like us, so they would more likely be predators or at least omnivores like us naturally.

[@mcarrowtime7095]

I would like to promote the idea of another commenter: which chaos gods would embrace their positive aspects and help the imperium, and how would the imperium look depending on which chaos god is supporting them

[@Overlord99762]

On Kin food, I have my own theories. The lore established their rugged survivalist, waste no resource, hoarder approach to things, but also show that they have their side of acting on impulses or more on the emotional side, their grudges and how they devote any resources to settling them. My idea or headcannon is that they have mass produced rations, similar to MRE's that are given to any Kin according to their dietary needs, since I would imagine a dwarf working of fixing the hydraulics of a small flying vessel wouldn't need as much as a Cthonian miner that is constantly hauling rocks *AND STONE* . Sorry, lost my composure, however, when a victory, festivity or something worth celebrating occurs they make feasts, using resources and food items they have traded with the SPECIFIC goal of being used in such events, Eldari wines and fruits, stock of grox meats or other products from the Imperium, T'au noodles or spices they may produce, etc.

[@withlovefromlightindust591]

Hey Majorkill. Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, The Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Thank you.

[@britishpalmtree9268]

Pretty sure gulliman eats aeldari clam chowder

[@andrewharper1609]

Tyranids are the ultimate omnivores.

[@IrishCarney]

Serious commitment to merchandising to put on a hoodie in December when it's summer in Australia!

[@jasonhammontree8829]

The tau chaos necrons are the coolest factions in 40K in my opinion

[@Evilfish82]

Ha! Never officially knew the Empire ate their dead, but when I saw hive cities I thought these guys look like they eat their dead. Nice to have that confirmed, I think.

[@DocPyro]

@Majorkill44 bot spotted bot spotted bot spotted

[@BloopTheNoop]

I would love to see a custodes tyranid

[@theimperialowl1011]

You know how they talk about how Eldar can become lost on their path? I imagine an Eldar lost on the path of the chef is basically Gordon Ramsey with pointy ears.

[@RiffSilverthe1andonly]

Coarpse starch half off? Hell yeah

[@ununius7436]

That comment about that colony that used that super virus to kill tyranids.. what story is that? it sounds incredible

[@isuckatusernames4297]

now I'm interested in what happens to servitor who regain sentience

[@Tree-beard]

The Custodians eat the most delicious pasta. It's so good you won't even believe it's real, well actually it isn't. It's a sort of foam, but it's easy on the figure, you know
