As someone whose first language isn't English, I was delighted to learn the new word "bequeathed". First I googled "bequieved", bewildered by my filthy imagination of the implied meaning, just to discover that only my lack of grammar skills led me to this unholy conclusion. You truly learn something new every day.

[@dwaynehicks6838]

For someone who speaks English as a second language yours is very good, but yes I do love the word, adds a bit of flair!

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

​@dwaynehicks6838 French is taught regularly. My kids are also learning Spanish, but that be because they go to grammar schools. I went to a normal secondary school and learned French. I also speak German and Italian (learned from grandparents). But being taught something at school doesn't necessarily mean that students take it in. Education isn't valued enough in Britain these days.

[@Wolfenacht]

I think a few important pieces were missed. The Emperor was able to land his space craft without a single detection from the mechanicus, something they thought was literally impossible. The first thing the Emperor did was "touch" one of the old but very important machines (I can't recall which, i think it was a titan) and the machine just sprung to life, looking as new as the day it was created, and this machine was on it's last legs. Those are two very important reasons why they saw him as the omnissiah.

[@fraziercrawford]

It was a Knight, for anyone wondering. A very very old Knight constructed in the Age of Strife. Had to be at least 5,000 years old. Anyone hungry for inside looks into the Mechanicus should read the book 'Mechanicus' in the house heresy. This is all in the intro it's a good installment

The Emperor is , as far as I'm concerned is another chaos god and his primarchs are lesser warp daemons and imperial saints are greater warp daemons .

The funny thing is in lore Mechanicus is like Amazon, except that they also build the roads, houses and even the cars you drive. And on the tabletop in order to play them you also need to be as rich as Jeff Bezos.

[@Scholarslore]

Indeed, they build it all!

[@imurgodsgod]

My local hobby shop would let poor people ( basically everyone ) use green army men or other kind of little figurines to represent your forces, befor the match you would define your army then just play like you had the “real” figurines, it was so much fun, playing with the life like 3d maps that could be 30ft by 60 ft long if you pushed all the tables together…. Some of those 10 v 10 battles took days to play out but it was the highlight of the year, pulling out all the stops and the special secret moves and tactics and weapons, watching a toothless, bearded dirty hobo man beat 3 or 4 engineers who were rich and had everything money could buy, by just being smarter, more tatical, and way more ruthless and though out was one of my favorites ( and yes the hobo had real figures ( not a whole lot, but maybe 2k or 3k worth he built up and put together himself over the years, he carried them in a duffel bag he kept on him all the time, or the shop would let him sleep in the basement when it was cold and store stuff at the store, he was like a stray dog the shop adopted

[@v02max75]

Point of clarification about nomenclature: Pre schism, the Cult Mechanicus was the religion of Mars, and the Mechanicum (the "people" of Mars). Post/during schism, Mars split in to the Dark Mechanicum and the Adeptus Mechanicus. It can be confusing because "mechanicus" is used both pre, and post schism

[@Scholarslore]

Indeed, I got a bit mixed up with this one, the naming of the mechanicus is a bit messy, should have really double checked it tbh, but thank you for the clarification

[@dominicktomko6767]

I've posted this in previous Mechanicum lore videos on KZbin, but those that haven't read just HOW GODLY Emperor comes across to Mechanicum comes...Bro legit comes to them like the second coming of Christ; the following is a tech-priests and others reaction to the arrival of the Omnissiah; as it gives us an insight into why the Mechanicum saw the Emperor as their God, a divine being: “A silhouette moved within the light, tall and powerful, glorious and magnificent. The light seemed to move with him and as Verticorda watched the figure descend the ramp, a shadow fell across the surface of the plain on which the craft had landed. Though he was loath to tear his gaze from the magnificent figure…light from the storm-wracked skies faded until the only illumination came from the figure as he stepped onto Martian soil for the first time. Verticorda felt the collective gasp from the thousands of spectators in his bones, as though the very planet shuddered with pleasure to know this individual’s touch. He looked back down and saw the warrior standing before him, tall and clad in golden armour, each plate wrought with the same skill and love as had been lavished upon his vessel. The warrior wore no helm and was fitted with no visible breathing augmetics, yet seemed untroubled by the chemical-laden air of Mars. Verticorda found his gaze dwelling on the warrior’s face, beautiful and perfect as though able to see beyond the armoured exterior of Ares Lictor and into Verticorda’s soul. In his eyes, his so very ancient eyes, Verticorda saw the wisdom of all the ages and the burden of all the knowledge contained within them. A crimson mantle flapped in the wind behind the giant warrior and he carried an eagle-topped sceptre clutched in one mighty gauntlet. The golden giant’s eyes scrutinised the blue-armoured form of Verticorda’s mount, from its conical glacis to the aventailed shoulder plates upon which the wheel and lightning bolt symbol of the Knights of Taranis was emblazoned. The warrior reached out towards him. ‘Your machine is damaged, Taymon Verticorda,’ he said, his voice heavy and yet musical, like the most perfect sound imaginable. ‘May I?’ Verticorda found himself unable to form a reply, knowing that anything he might say would be trite in the face of such perfection. It didn’t occur to him to wonder how the sublime warrior knew his name. Without waiting for a reply, the warrior reached out, and Verticorda felt his touch upon the joints of Ares Lictor’s knee. ‘Machine, heal thyself,’ said the warrior, the purpose and self-belief in his voice passing into Verticorda as though infusing every molecule of his hybrid existence of flesh and steel with new-found purpose and vitality. He felt the warmth of the warrior’s touch through the shell of his mount, and gasped as trembling vibrations spread through its armoured frame of plasteel and ceramite. He took an involuntary step back, feeling the movements of his mount flow as smoothly as ever they had. With one step, he could feel Ares Lictor move as though it had just come off the assembly lines, its stubborn knee joint flexing like new. ‘Who are you?’ he gasped, his voice sounding grating and pathetic next to the mighty timbre of the golden warrior’s voice. ‘I am the Emperor,’ said the warrior. It was a simple answer, yet the weight of history and the potential of a glorious future were carried in every syllable. Knowing he would never again hear words spoken with such meaning, Verticorda and Ares Lictor dropped to one knee, performing the manoeuvre with a grace that would have been impossible before the Emperor’s touch. In that moment, Taymon Verticorda knew the truth of the being standing before him. ‘Welcome to Mars, my lord,’ he said. ‘All praise to the Omnissiah.’” So there you have it. I can only apologise for the many paragraphs, but it gives you an idea at how GODLY the Big E appears to the people of Mars.

[@lostlambv2939]

Very well put! Have to say I do now regret not expanding on my own paragraph as to why they saw him as the omnissiah, but hopefully people read your comment to understand it a little better!

Quick correction here good sir 13:48: The Mechanicum turned into the Adeptus Mechanicus after the Schism of Mars... which was much later than the Treaty of Olympus. The Treaty of Olympus united Mars and Terra. After it was signed, the Mechanicum were still the Mechanicum...... until the schism.... and then they became the Adeptus Mechanicus during the Horus Heresy.

[@4002372]

Hey some quick corrections; The Emperor did not have to predict the Martians would see him as Omnissiah, but he fulfilled every aspect of the ‘Prophecy of the Omnissiah’ which you can find in the book ‘Mechanicum’ The Mechanicum would not enter as an Imperial Adepta (and thus surrender its sovereignty) until the Binharic Succession, which you can read about in the book of the same name, which took place just before the Siege. As the Mechanicum, the admech was an allied state, as the Adeptus Mechanicus, they are a vassal state subject to the governance of Terra but partially independent by provenance of the a treaty of mars.

My logic here? It’s a practical matter. See, this video came out on Thursday, top of the pile no less. Got me all hot and bothered to get into this hobby further, so the best I could do was play some inquisitor. Had it been released on a Friday, I could’ve had all day to play inquisitor on Saturday!
