Trying to understand this as much as I can after the excitement I have for the new Space Marine 2 game coming out, this feels like watching a movie where some simple human has a chance to gain all knowledge of the galaxy and immediately being destroyed because no one person should carry all of that information. It’s hard for me to really care for any one faction/person with the seemingly unending amount of them. Which is cool in its own way.

In my limited knowledge of the sci-fi fantasy that is 40k, I have pretty much concluded: Space Marines = Knights Templar Imperial Guard = Regular humans Primarchs = Legendary heroes Eldar = Elves Necron = Undead Leages of votan = Dwarfs Orks = Orcs Tau = Eastern empire Tyranids = Monsters Chaos marines = Evil sorcerers

So we actually do know where the orcs come from they come from the krocks made by the old ones to help defeat the necrons the krocks are bigger and more intelligent knowing how to use there warp power of thought however when the necrons fled to there tomb worlds they struggled to find worthy opponents and devolved into orcs

[@SoCalStyles]

More Info on the League please!

[@lfyoung]

What little I know about this game’s lore. The emperor is able to come back to life and has done this by dying and being reborn. So it feels like the people want him to stay half dead and sitting on the golden throne. Instead of letting him die and being reborn again just so they can kill people every day and have the ability to travel around in the warp.

[@lilpunk-_-]

no actually the imperium is desperately keeping him alive with sacrifices of psykers (the mages who get their power from the warp) because his own psychic power is what keeps the astronomicon going, which is what allows for imperium space travel. so basically if the emperor dies, all will most likely be lost to chaos.

there is actually an old explanation about from where orcs come from, they was maded by the old ones, as Krorks to fight Nercons. The Krork is 12 meters tall, and was wearing mega-armor that rivaled Astartes power armor in terms of sophistication, and each of them, as Aeldari had psychic powers, wich is still present in Orks, in their unknow power of believe.

[@Xariann]

I am a litte bit confused. Humanity worshipped the God Emperor before the Emperor took over?

[@XSpulunkyX]

There was a bit of a time hopping in the video. Essentially, Warhammer 40k is set in the year 40,000. At this point, the Emperor is seen as a God Emperor, though he's basically a corpse on a throne (at least physically). The Imperium of Man is a mess and a shadow of its former glory, mostly relying on tech which was developed thousands of years prior. It worships the Emperor as a God Emperor. The Emperor was alive and thriving in the 30th millennium, around the time he revealed himself. At that time, the Emperor forbade humanity from worshipping him as a God. Part of the Emperor's mission was to restore humanity to the technological peak it experienced around the year 20,000. 10k years before the Emperor showed up. Essentially, the Emperor wasn't known to mankind until 30k. Then the Horus Heresy happened. 10k years pass and we're in the setting of Warhammer 40k.

[@Xariann]

@@XSpulunkyX Thank you, I started wondering about the time hopping a bit into the video (which is still rather good!). Appreciate the explanation.

[@paza0859]

@@XSpulunkyX I'm a newb and curious about that story, do you have any book or youtube channel to recommand to understand the origins of the emperor and why humanity went from a gold era 20th millenium to garbage 30th millenium until the emperor showed up ? Cuz i see a lot of videos/lore about the actual/recent events happening in 40k but it's hard to find "old" lore on the past (20th/30th millenium) and why it became this way with the imperium. I found a lot about the big warp rift opened in the middle of the galaxy, the tyranids etc... on the other hand. As i played the Dawn of war series and in particular Dark Crusade i'm curious about the other factions

This video doesn't do the T'au Justice, their "greater good" mean collectively improve the living standards for everyone. Their Cass system work like: Everyone is below the state, ran by the Ethereal, but everyone below the Ethereal are all equals, and an improvement in living standards goes for all. This is why many backwater humans planets join the T'au Empire, because it's offer better living quality to common folks, regardless of their race, because racism in the T'au empire is consider primitive and stupid. The T'au isn't a warring faction, their primary mean of expansion is diplomacy and using their technology, which is peek efficiency at sustainability to improves productions of goods for daily lives, food production, medicine production ETC, and they were so advances at making these tech and simplify them so much, that they were so cheap, and they practically just giving these aways for free, basically. So when the T'au encounter and do economic trades and diplomacy with some human worlds that is far from the Imperium, they be like: "You know you can enroll in our university for basically free or at very subsidies prices right"? and massive amount of Human among other aliens just sign up, and for the longest time, the Imperium which doesn't give a duck about poor peoples let this happen, simply because they don't care, and if you wonder living standards for most human in the Imperium is, the 99% in trillion, lives on "Hive World", and common folks are so poor, they can afford to buy animals meats or vegetables, instead they ate literal proceed human corpse meat paste, I'm not joking, that is the regular standards of living in 99% of the Imperium.
