The legend of Doomguy in this multicrossover can work. An immortal warrior who's mission has been completed in the past is sleeping in his sarcophagus in the Tomb of Souls atop of the Ingmore Sanctum. He's sleeping until he's needed once again. The Primevals are the overseers of their respective dimensions, in Davoth's case, Jekkad, better known as Hell, he got created by someone else who is more powerful than him. Who is that entity? That's probably up to the next Doom game, but here, Khorne could work perfectly. Khorne in his boredoom gave life to one of his most powerful creations, a simple human guided by the eventualities of demonic invasions and the sense of justice Doomguy inherited from his family that he stayed in the Warp to corpse camp demons for all eternity.

[@Counterpoints]

Khorne has been known to love violent shitposts like his pet Orcs in the past. I don't think having a pet human is too much of a stretch.

[@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium]

I personally love this timeline because it adds levels of context for the imperium of 40k. It gives the idea that humanity was xenophobic and prone to religious idolatry long before the age of strife, it gives context for many of the titans, knights, and power armors. I can easily see many pf the power armors of fallout being early versions of the 40k power armor, some of them could even be modified and retrofitted pieces. Things like chems, whatever bloodshots nanobots are, fev, and many other things of that nature explaining factions like the assassin temples. The planet and humans of gears of war could easily be justified as early versions of catachan. I could totally Isaac Clarke and others becoming the foundations of the mechanicus's reluctance against invention and creating new technologies. This timeline just lines up super well and gives so much context for so many things. Great job homie.

[@TenebrousFilms]

I think all 40kers agree that the Event Horizon was the first warp ship, created completely by accident, which is a very human thing to do. Starship Troopers, on the other hand, feels squeezed in. The Avatar/Pandora stuff... fits, but I want to ignore it anyway for its collossal waste of time, money and talent. I've little experience with most of the games you've included, but the tyranids must've started somewhere, so it shouldn't be a surprise if our galaxy birthed something similiar. If two such hives came into conflict and one absorbed the other, I doubt *any* gods could save the universe... and as Douglas Adams once wrote, "There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

[@jonathanryan9946]

The brilliance of this isn't only the fact that 40k itself is the inspiration and in turn inspired by some of these franchise, but that 40k loves it's EVERYTHING IS CANON approach. Thus logically it's insprations and things that was inspired by it, could have happened... Or at least pretty similarly, and then the truth got blended by hearsay and time. So even if not accurate, it is accurate that people believed it was accurate because it was believable enough. Which is basically 40k's EVERYTHING IS CANON philosophy in a nutshell.

[@powerhouse6165]

I realized years ago how easy it is to slot most other fantasy and sci Fi series into Warhammer cause "Warp Fuckery" is so powerful. Glad someone took the time to prove this idea In a properly bombastic way.

That's the plan Stan! 40K isn't releasing enough video content for us to have new stuff every week so I'm probably gonna finish redoing all the old Hammer and Bolters, keep doing whatever is new with GW, but then I might start doing The Expanse, Aliens, Predator, Avatar, etc in order and just cut out the fluff and go for action scenes and plot points that are interesting to make good sci fi lore fluff for 40K pre-history

That's great! Firefly/Serenity and Fifth Element can be fitted into the 40K timeline also. There is already a popular fan fic that starship troopers and firefly exist in the same universe.

[@philroberts1069]

If you take the leap that the four elements have Fire representing Khorne, Air = Slaanesh, Earth = Nurgle, Water = Tzeentch, it also creates a new perspective on Marvel's fantastic four. It wouldn't be too hard to incorporate the infinity stones into being fragments of chaos either.

[@alexfrost2799]

[@spartakos94]

I think the events that take place in the Dune saga could also fit the timeline as they take place around early 11th millenium, and they already have mastered intergalactic travelling,gene manipulation, they have nuclear weapons, a technological/ feudal society ruled by the great Houses of Landraad, and also they despise AI as it enslaved them many years prior to the events of the Battlerian jihad.

[@PodreyJenkin138]

However there are no aliens in dune, I tend to look at these events as less history and more "stories" told or pieced together and survived way after the fact (after the dark age of tech and age of strife at least) they are fictional or mythology in nature often or nearly always not actually being 1:1 accurate and contradictory in nature, details or time They are reconstructions after the countless burnings of the libraries of Alexandria aka societal collapse, technological and social regression and massive population death Some are probably outright fabrications or so twisted as to be basically a lie, but all hint, relate and provide some truth of humanity's journey in the universe whether it's an historical event, era influence or something more thematic, esoteric or warning This fictionalization and oral history/story telling would also explain why so many stories seem to take place on terra/earth or contain references to locations on terra when they all couldn't have possibly been earth and are more likely colonies Everyone wants their story to be relatable, connecting and important and since they serve as a vehicle to remember and pass on history even if diluted many authors even intentionally or over time based these stories and tales on terra to always remember the home world and fit the trend of their contemporaries or by accident truly believed the location to be accurate as it was told to them

[@alexfrost2799]

Considering how 40k has always been a mashup of a bunch of different IPs, I've been waiting for a fan fiction like this. And it would make sense. Warhammer 40k really is just THAT far into the future that all of this can fit, albeit with minor tweaks. I love how you made the Forerunners seem like some sort of forgotten hybrid of the Necrons and Aeldari and that the Flood and Necromorphs are the essence of the Old Ones morphed and twisted by the Dark Gods. It makes their virtually-impossible nature more plausible. I'm also loving your fusion of Halo, Terminator, the Matrix, and Battlestar Galactica into isolated incidences of the same event. Same goes with Destiny, Fallout, Mad Max, and Judge Dredd. Which actually brings up some interesting theories. Did the Emperor whisper secrets to Doctor Halsey to create the Spartans since they're practically proto-Astartes? Are the Forerunners as even close to as powerful as the Necrons and Aeldari give that both species largely ignored them (Halo says they are but this fan fiction says they're not)? And are the Tyranids another evolution of the essence of the Old Ones, but without the influence of Chaos? Or are they some long lost experiment like the Krorks that spun out of control and now threaten the Milky Way Galaxy as a whole? I would love to see if you can somehow fit the events of StarCraft into this as well. Maybe another story during the Age of Technology that ended with all technology lost, with the Terrans being enslaved by the Protoss or consumed by the Zerg. And it turns into another footnote during the Great Crusade. I wanted to see if you could've expanded the role of the Predators too. Maybe their empire was relatively hidden or untouched until an expedition fleet arrived and a Space Marine Legion wiped them out. Anyway, great stuff overall. I love it!

Bro…. Every series you mentioned in this, I’ll never look at the same, awesome video!

[@brianroberts6554]

Nice, Connor!! I much prefer these vids over the ones where you treated lady Nazi Lauren Southern like she has valuable takes on anything.

[@wesleywallace9331]

This was pretty cool. I think you could work in the Starcraft story archs pretty well, too. Also, mayhaps a nod to Warhammer fantasy, or even Time of Legends.

The only real discrepancy I'd point out is when you introduce the Battlestar Galactica series into it. The technology decline from the Halo universe to the BSG universe goes from plasma weaponry and energy shields on not just naval ships, but specialized foot soldiers as well, to less powerful ballistic weaponry on naval ships, no ship shields on either side, and the use of tactics like flak weaponry as a defensive shield, just doesn't make sense to me. Now take into account the technology of the golden/dark Era of humanity, that makes 40k tech look like Tonka trucks in comparison to actual dump trucks, it makes the immersion quite unbelievable in my opinion. Great video, and I appreciate the effort put into it, but it just stops working as a theorized timeline.

Well done enjoyed how much they all flow together, was surprised however that Dune never came up considering how much Warhammer draws on it. Lasguns, Navigators, a ftl similar to warp travel, Butlarian Jihad vs Men of Iron, cyber warriors, planets dedicated to creating super soldiers, perpetual clones, abhuman mutants, etc...

Okay, so i feel entirely vindicated now, i am NOT (entirely) insane to link other fictional universes to 40k after all!

THIS IS INSPIRED!! Pity you missed the Borderlands franchise. I wonder how Sirens would fit in?

[@LamiaLover]

They could be akin to proto psykers?
