The whole thing with Slaneesh is such a big misconception. Only a part of their population was involved in debauchery but because they were effectively the dominant species of the Universe for billions of years this minority of their population slowly gave birth to the Prince of Pleasure over time. As the Princess would put it her birth was like an orgasmic release from billions of years of edging from the Aeldari.

The victory of Chaos is their ultimate defeat. The Dark Gods know this and this is why they're fine with Failbaddon being Warmaster as opposed to someone who could actually win.

[@talonjansen8926]

Yeah, Chaos' goal is literally having everyone else losing, maybe even themselves?

[@pixelgun4789]

I doubt it. Chaos can win. But mortal race would survive. Cultists would be still existing and children born. Rituals still happening. The other thing, is that the chaos gods migh be also fueled from other galaxies. As Anger, Desire, Desire for Knowledge and desire for Salvation is common within all sentient beings. And It would be understandable, that Chaos would have fuel from there.

[@LembarHeals]

How so? People and their souls already exist in the warp, if chaos wins do all the chaos astartes and cultists just poof out of existence? Even if them winning destroys the material universe the warp exists outside of time and space so like, theyd probably not be as powerful but theyd still exist just like they existed before their own births

It makes you wonder why they take all the water though. That's pretty key to life evolving and is not easy to replace once it's gone, as far as I'm aware.

[@VenomVsTRex]

except they extract all the water, atmosphere, microbes, and AFAIK useful metals and minerals within a certain distance of the surface as well. they do have one planet that I don't remember the name of that they *seem* to turning into a 'farm' or something for reasons that have only been speculated about. and probably pissed some pants about it too, tbh. but with just that one exception, they completely strip-mine entire worlds of all biomass and anything useful to life and then move on.

[@lucaswiseman1259]

I respectfully disagree. I believe that past the surface level it's simply diminishing returns and it's not worth harvesting as compared to just moving on

[@andylin9523]

@@VenomVsTRexthis is also the problem with lore amongst fans. The info in warhammer is obtuse and misinformation is everywhere. Just because you read somewhere the tyranids strip mine planets of the microbes is probably just exaggeration to make them seem like the ultimate threat. Doesn’t mean you’re necessarily wrong I’m sure there are plenty of hive fleets that do consume down to the microbial level but it can equally be true that many others are surface feeders and move on after the initial invasion and dinner. In the end accurate information is scarce in 40k and not everything can be an end all be all to a factions description.

About Chaos's victory. In the Book from "Slaves to Darkness" Lorgar tried to convince Fulgrim to betray Horus so he could take over the forces of Chaos and impose on humanity the world he believed the Chaos Gods wanted. Here is an interesting excerpt from Fulgrim to Lorgar on what humanity would like had Chaos won. "You would be Priest King of a realm where gods and mortals dwell in union, where ambition is righteousness, entropy sacred, excesses embraced, and slaughter is devotion. I can see it.... I can see it brother, the cities of gold and bone, the worlds of ash. I can hear the screams and taste the pyre smoke."

Orks would not necessarily go to Khorne in a total Chaos win. They have the spores and whole rebirth thing I can be quite certain that Nurgle would enjoy While they are not planners they are a psychic race and unpredictable which pleases Tzeentch Too much is also something that goes hand and hand with both the Orks and Slaanesh

[@SneakyCupcake]

i reckon the Orkz split up depending on wich role they played before. tho mostly into slaanesh's and khorne's fold. Goffs for example would ahve no business anyywhere but next to khorne while oddboyz are inherently excessive in whatever role they are in, speed freakz going fast, weirdboyz drawing psychic powers until they just explode and madboyz wich are just "orkz emotions" cranked up to 11 with adhd. for our grandfather and the scheming one there wouldnt be much left over, i can atleast see them rejecting nurgle outright and Tzeentch i feel like wouldnt have much use for them himself, psychic and rng roles yee but its also assumed that tzeentch is holding the strings to keep the great game going, so if it enters a stage where its only chaos fighting each other he'd probably need a more reliable force for himself and rather use the chaotic nature of orkz while keeping them without his own ranks.

[@marceloasensiofilho3833]

@SneakyCupcake tzeentch is a big fan of unpredictability and the whole backstabbing even when he/his forces are the ones being screwed over, the mad scientist style experiments from both mekboyz and painboyz also fit him very well While the whole growing out of the spores is very "nurgly" to me.

In the case of Necron (and specifically Silent King's) victory I can see that being in some ways even better than the Tau victory From Silent King's interaction with the Blood Angels, he changed massively over the millions of years he was alive. In the case where he achieved ultimate victory, it seems pretty likely that he would let some of the other factions live (as long as they didn't try fighting back)

[@marcingolab6227]

From what I remember, Twice Dead King suggests that Oltyx's dynasty was cursed by the C'tan specifically because they were part of the fleet sent to destroy Llandu'gor the Flayer. I don't think it says that's the fate of all Necrons. The suggestion is instead that, throughout the millions of years, Necrons can degrade (a process quicker for the lower classes, whose cybernetic bodies were the least sophisticated) and this degradation can cause madness such as the Destroyer cult.

[@Coolerx2x]

I like your takes! I would argue that the Ecclesiarchy and high lords would fight back against the Mechanicus like their ancestors fought the men of iron. With the galaxy at war, if the chaos gods were somehow banished and contained, they would make a comeback and a reboot of 40K would result.

[@Rahab84]

The Greater Good. Quick send in Inquisitor Angel. Here's the question though, if the Eldar win. Would history repeat itself, would they birth Slanessh again. But stronger ?

[@PhilipVosteen]

@Rahab84 probably yes.

[@delta9915]

Assuming they follow the path system then probably not

[@rodan9596]

I honestly don’t the Phoenix Lords or Gods would allow that. One must remember that the ancient Eldar had no Moral Guide to tell them the dangers of their Excess. But this new Eldar empire has over a Dozen immortal figures that survived the fall and remember the events leading up to it.

[@Rahab84]

@@rodan9596 Assuming that Ynnead restores the Eldar gods and isn't corrupted by Slanessh. Because let's face it Ynnead looks Slanesshy in nature as it is. But if you look at it another way. Technically because the dark prince is slowly killing the Eldar race. Would that not also be considered a God of Death. The Ynnari could have been deceived, into believing Ynnead is their God. But is in fact Slanessh, in disguise. After all it took Biel Tan getting destroyed to get this started. Also if Ynnead wouldn't revive their Gods the Phoenix Lords, wouldn't stand a chance.

I figured the version where the imperium wins would involve the reincarnation or re-awakening of the god-emperor, which maybe could be our best bet for a better future.

[@bruno17289]

The Human Victory will depends who is leading them at the time. Guilliman? Dark Age of Texhnology without AI, he slowly dismantles the Mechanicus and church. Anything else will lead to the Dark King one way or another. The Mechanicud winning is laughsble as they are their own worst own enemy and will destroy each other if left at their own devices.

[@Giuseppegranata7067]

So... For the Imperium ending we are forgetting that Roboute Guilliman and Lion el'Jhonson are alive and brething.

Gork and Mork ascending would be wild and wacky good time

Humanity if they won: We did it, Patrick! We defeated Horace Hearsay, or whatever

I actually love your videos Wes! Keep it up!

No Kin? That's going in the eBook

[@randyruger9063]

Would the Necron spare any of the fleshy races? (Tau I'd assume to avoid stirring the warp again). Whether as pets, subjects, or whatever?

[@sovereign-of-scars4372]

The video's been out for 3 minutes, how am I not first. Also, Wes, how is the King of Feathers/Cegorach conspiracy video coming along?

[@HalduBouyaNono2]

Even in a video from one of the most knowledgeable man on Earth about the lore, about imagining impossible scenarios since no faction may achieve victory alone, the Leagues of Votaan still not have their own winning scenario

[@deadman3140]

If the Aeldari "won" they'd make making the Orks into Krorks one of their top priorities.

Heresy, Wes. What the Prophet Lorgar foresaw will come to pass. Man will become one with the Neverborn. It'll all go swimmingly, I'm sure.

[@Chahkra]

The only question I have is in regard to the mechanicum. You failed to mention the void dragon and what would happen to it or its influence over that time.

[@RaptieFeathers]

Here's a positive twist on the Tyranid victory: They don't need to eat intelligent life, they just need some sort of biomass, right? Thus, the Hive Mind decides that it's more sustainable to create farm worlds. And in order to maintain stability, they use Genestealers to take out the Imperial leadership, the Ethereal caste, etc. They form an alliance with Trazyn, and support Ghaz as the ork leader. Having culled the worst parts of the existing structures, they then form a federation that fights the eternal enemy of all: Chaos. The Hive Mind then becomes the benevolent shepherd of the galaxy.

[@housecat5689]

Brother, if the Aeldari manage to end Slaanesh we would see their psykers become Magnus-class each. It would be an absolute cake-walk.

[@DrRexie]

The Tau empire sounds basically like a dystopian future where they basically say either you can play or we will brainwash you until you do comply Very 1984-esque

Another problem with Imotekh is he’s a conqueror. Once a conqueror runs out of things to conquer they tend to fall apart.
