The Senatorum Imperialis (officially the Lords Temporal, Martial and Ecclesiarchical of the Most Divine and Righteous Imperium of Mankind) collectively form the Council of the High Lords of Terra. The Senatorum is an Imperial governing body led by twelve leaders of the most powerful organisations of the Imperium. This body rules the Imperium in the Emperor's name. The Senatorum itself is composed of tens of thousands of Imperial dignitaries, nobleman, lords, and other officials, but these rarely meet and instead the "High Twelve" conduct the vast majority of affairs.
The task of the High Lords is to interpret and enact the will of the Emperor. Accordingly, the position of High Lord was the most powerful in the Imperium until the reemergence of Roboute Guilliman, who declared himself Imperial Regent, or the Emperor's Living Voice. - Zábava
My favorite thing about 40k is that no one can count.
They destroyed a hiveworld with 20 hive cities of 5 billion each, that's like 2 million dead.
There are 20 primarchs, except there's 18, except one of them is 2 people so 19
There are 4 chaos gods and Vashtoor is attempting to become the 6th
There are 9 high lords in the High 12
Yes? I don’t see the problem.
In the grim darkness of the far future everybody has dyscalculia.
In 40K, the equation 7 x 13 = 28 is just basic math.
Well, if research and invention are heretical in 40K, chances are math is as well
@@michaelconnell1010 7 x 1 = 7 + 7 x 3 = 21 = 7 + 21 = 28.
Makes perfect sense.
I love when 40k really dives into the Gothic aesthetic. The art of the High Lords looks like someone kidnapped the performers at a Renaissance Faire and surgically attached some metal bits, but somehow the look really works.
Here are a few examples of how the High Lords of Terra work:
"Should we outlaw the use of laxatives to everyone but us?"
"WhaaAat? They can't do that! That's ILLEGAL!"
"I'm the law!"
"I AM THE LAWN!"
“If everyone else is using laxatives… that’s not enough for me! Outlaw laxatives!
"Wait... what if we throw this boot... at Decius' head"
"we outlawed steak last Tuesday you old shit!"
But my men need laxatives so they can poo before battle!
Tonite on Ridiculous Gear: Shy becomes the new Abbess Sanctorum which gives her full control of the Purgator Mirabilis which worries the rest of the high lords. DK begins smoking a ton of the Devil's lettuce to literally become the highest lord of terra and Bricky becomes the Grand Provost Marshal of the Adeptus Arbites so he can become the Law so he can try to limit Tedd zero's power
Ngl to this day I love the idea that Shy is a vat grown charib in a ministorum building who developed sentence on accident and got herself a bolter and now she's in controll of a room where she's forcing Bricky and DK to dig up ancient and forbidden knowledge.
Wouldn’t the Highest Lord of Terra be The God Emperor of Mankind?
@@Iacobus-Magnus He got that Slaneesh zaza
@@Iacobus-Magnus Depends how much weed he smokes
@@IdioticSynergyI think it would be edibles for Big E. I'm not sure he has lungs
The Fabricator General is indeed enormous, he needs a special lifter, and multiple grav sleds to move...
He is currently missing (Vaults of Terra 3)
He has probably been replaced by now. It's been over a decade since then. But his replacement is most likely simular.
Remember that the custodians do have to stand on his conduits occasionally during meetings
that was a wild trilogy
I neeeeeed to know who finds the skull !!
His replacement will not be Cawl. Cawl doesn't want the job anyway.
The fabricator general is describe in The Beast novels to be a brain inside a machine the size of a 10 story building. He usually sends a representative because its hard for him to move.
That's metal as fuck (literally), he probably just spends most of that machinery computing gigantic numbers of materials used, produced, in demand, in stock, etc.
That makes me both how and if there have been *any* different Fabricator Generals because
A) how does one kill something that big, and/or does something like that even die?
B) how do you even replace, let alone move, or get away with killing something of such size?
If Cawl has taught me anything, it’s that the Mechanicus are functionally immortal unless directly killed. I’m pretty sure that the machinery was built around him and is stationary. And the Mechanicus are both very superstitious and paranoid. Someone is *defiantly* going to notice.
The first Eisenhorn book has a character who’s part of the Arbites. Basically they’re above the local space cops who only have authority on one planet or system, but they’re not quite on the level of the Inquisition whose authority is basically beyond question. “Space FBI” is a good description.
Actually the arbites exist outside normal law.
A high ranking arbite can even arrest an inquusitor
@@velphidrow8317 Pretty sure that’s not the case. It’s been a while since I read Xenos but I’m pretty sure the only reason Eisenhorn even humors the arbites and local law enforcement is because if he doesn’t he’ll either have to kill them or get bogged down in legal disputes for so long his quarry will escape.
@@starwarsnerd100 nope. They can
It's only the higher ranking members and they often don't do it, but it's technically in their rights
@@velphidrow8317 I would pay good money for an animation consisting solely of an Arbites and an Inquisitor trying to arrest one another.
@@VallornDeathblade The fact that you think an Inquisitor would only just _arrest_ an Arbites is quite humorous. :)
Mad respect to the inquisitor for finally breaking down the arbitrary boundaries between personal defense and air defense.
Also, I literally simp for the Lord Solar.
No doubt he’ll eventually have a tank named after him like Lord Solar Macharius.
I had a dream that i was one of the guards to the entrance to the High lords table.
I escorted a VIP into the room and loudly proclaimed: "Behold The High-Lords of Tera".
They were old smoking their joints
I laughed myself Awake.
U can't because the palace guards were all neural conditioned.
You can laugh a little but not that strong.
@@huntermad5668 that's a dream for ya
The brief tangent about actors playing primarchs and Charlie Day had my brain flash to:
Charlie/Cruze: I mean like, okay, I did betray the imperium and eat those people, but he DID nuke your mom when he caught me...
Mac/Guilliman: He- Wait, did you actually nuke my mom dude?
Dennis/Lion: Okay, yes, I nuked your mom, but it wasn't my fault she was in your city when I was nuking it.
Mac/Guilliman: YOU NUKED MY CITY AND MY MOM!?

@@azathoththe3rd Dee/Corax: Alright, I want in on this action!
Everyone: Shut up, bird!
Frank/Perturabo: "So anyway, I started blasting"
Angron after getting stomped on by a titan and Lorgar after putting on red daemonic armor: “Do I look suspicious?”
Fulgrim: “JESUS CHRIST, KONRAD! YOU KILLED A *KID!”*
Konrad Curze: “…eh.”
the master of the administratum: "you think you can do my job better than me? do you even know the protocols and regulations involved in administering this grand imperium?"
roboute fucking guilliman: "do not cite the administratum's interplanetary and intersystem protocols and functions, whelp. i wrote them myself."
Former master, the current one stared down the minoraurs and ordered them to withdraw
The high Lords of the Terra have a chapter called The minotaurus to take down renegade space marine chapters, who may have iron warrior Geneseed.
I love the Minotaurs for their spartan look and the fact their so aggressive. There’s a story about a time in which they were paired with another chapter to deal with some chaos, when the battle ended, one of their Contemptor dreadnoughts emerged covered in gore. To which one of the marines of the other chapter shot at it thinking it was a chaos spawn, ti which the contemptor got so pissed he charged at them, killed some marines and tore open a Leman Russ tank. And wasn’t stopped until the chapter master ordered him to stop.
I have a theory, Minotaurs use what was determined to be Chimeric gene seed. I believe their siege ability comes from Iron Warriors, but I think the other part is Thunder Warrior. They use cybernetic and psycho indication more than any other chapter that we know of, possibly helping in solving the physical and mental degradation. The iron Warrior gene seed is incredibly stable and meant for mass production, maybe also helping the stabilization process. Lastly, they always act in full chapter movements and use similar tactics of Thunder Warriors
I may have a biased look against them as a Lamenters fan…😅
Didn't they curbstomp the Lamenters once?
They’re also notorious assholes
Bricky saying "Synoid" instead of "Synod" makes me giggle everytime.
I can still hear the sounds...
Bricky's many mispronounciations are part of the charm
“High Lords of Terra, we are gather here today to discuss the most pressing matter to the Survival of the Imperium of Man, such as we have never seen before. Should we outlaw the use of laxatives to everyone but US? Because my poo has been really hard and dusty lately.”
-casual High Lords meeting in the 41st millennium.
Guilliman: *Facepalm* Why did this happen?
The Emperor of Mankind: You asking me, Papa Smurf? I was napping.
The Grandmaster of Assassins killed the other high lords because they were about to surrender to the Beast. He killed everyone just to make sure no one would betray the Imperium.
It was not right when they surrender I believe, it was shortly after the beast war. He had to makes plans, get the assassins together, then do it. But yeah he killed the high lords because he truly feared the imperium would die under their rule so he took action.
papa malc would be so proud.
On Trajan losing most of his hair, my personal headcanon? He’s been pulling his hair out dealing with primarch’s coming back. I remember in some of the books he DOES NOT like or trust Guilliman or any of the primarchs. He knows he has to work with him, but he is constantly thinking “When is the mother fucker gonna push me to far?”.
And for actors to play Lorgar, I vote Nick Cage. No one can do bat shit crazy like him.
Lorgar is more "zealous and bullheaded" than btshit insane
I really need to suggest the book The Emperor's Legion to you guys. It's set on terra during the great rift and guillimans return. It focuses around the high lords, the custodes and what happened on terra and its reaction to the rift opening. It is an amazing book (and its sequel is awesome too as it involves the coup attempt) not to mention there is a character that I just know you two will absolutely simp over.
I suspect Bricky has read at least the second book considering he notes lots of the high lords were assassinated by Fadix. He also plays custodes so he knows their named characters.
They'll fall for Aleya quite hard.
@@cousinzeke4888 I can already see the poster tbh.
@@consolescrub4031 I had considered this. However he could have uncovered this information when researching the high lords for this episode. For example on Haemotalion's Lexicanum page it points out that Fadix had the conspirators killed. Personally i hope he hasn't yet read them so we can experience his reaction.
@@manticore117 Fair enough. I think DK would probably like it even if one of the big twists is spoiled. Meeting the minotaurs might also be interesting for them considering what they have just read about how Custodes are really good at killing space marines. That said, kind of hoping for a more xenos book next personally as a change of pace (Severed would be my recommendation for the necron fans although something good and dark eldar like Clonelord might be good too as I think they would appreciate Ramos). Otherwise, Helsreach or Xenos are always classics worth tapping the sign and I was pleasantly surprised by Shroud of Night for dealing with Shy's favourite legion.
It should be noted that "the Fabricator-General" is the Fabricator-General of Mars; sort of like how the Pope is the Bishop of Rome, different Forge Worlds have different Fabricator-Generals, although some Forge Worlds have different titles.
Thumbnail looks like they're abouta drop the hardest album on why they should outlaw the use of laxatives to everyone but them
Just a fun fact Bricky didn’t mention: Lord Solar is just another name for Warmaster most Warmasters prefer in 40k because of Horus.
Also in that artwork I really do think that thing on the left out of frame is the fabricator general, it looks like it's made of torn up fabric and definitely has one of those spike legs seen on techpriests. Also if Cawl can dwarf guilliman I don't see why the fabricator general wouldn't also be that large.
A minor *UMM ACKSHUALLY* about Leontis. He doesn't command the entire Imperial Guard. Each segmentum of the Imperium has its own Lord Commander, five in total. Leontis is a High Lord because the Segmentum Solar is home to Terra, so he is directly responsible for directing the Guard in defending Mankind's homeworld and the Emperor.
Bricky says Admech are his second favorite Cover When the Chaos Knight codex exists
Bricky, in the throne of terra book series, the high lord of the Mechanicum is in fact several stories tall, so your assumption of him being the walking steam train might in fact be correct
So we know that Titans are supposed to imitate the Holy human form… is the inquisitorial representative’s outfit with its little shoulder cherubs supposed to imitate the form of a blessed Titan?!
*10:16*
I just really appreciate how Shy helps out Bricky in moments like this.
Shy has a very nice way with words.
The idea that they are convening on the Fabricator-General is explored in depth in TTS, where the Fabricator-General is absolutely massive...
Skaven Episode?! YES YES YES! THE SKAVEN ARE AWESOME!
From the plagues of Pestilens to the Magitek of Clan Skyre, they have variety and each one of then is a funny, scary sneaky asshole.
Mighty skaven are greatest-best yes yes!

What about elf clowns?
I'm kind of impressed that the Lored Solar has no augmentations, in 40k that makes him a legend.
I agree that the war of the beast was probably inconsistently written but the scene where the space marines come to take him to face justice was pretty good to me. I think around 150 marines went into the temple to get him but the detail Bricky skimmed over is that it was an EVESOR temple. Guys come in, he gives the villain monologue and 100 tubes containing frozen evesors pop up. The tubes are basically leaking liquid nitrogen so the room becomes all foggy too which is the last place you want evesors jumping out at you from given the assassins had been in the nitrogen and didn't show up on thermal imaging while the the space marines definitely did.
I find the Beheading in general to be very well written. An entire series of the High Lords goofing off only to be killed off one at a time was so releasing. Especially the fabricator general.
30:16 bro sends you to the emperor same day shipping
Let's be honest, Bricky is the High Lord of Foreheads and Neckbeards
I believe you mean High Forehead
Reading Nemesis, it’s interesting that Malcador was the first Master of Assassins. He wasn’t an “assassin” as they are, but I guess he was more powerful than they all could be, so I guess that tracks.
It’s a really fun novel btw, if you enjoy Assassinorum or Execution Force, it’s an intimate look at the first “execution force” of assassins, as well as an early Crime novel intertwined.
If anyone tells you that you can skip some of the Horus Heresy but you are enjoying the setting, read the “side quest” novels, like Battle for the Abyss, Damnation of Pythos, Nemesis, Descent of Angels, etc. as they flesh out the setting waaaaay more than the “main” HH novels.
Oh and the Garantine, the Eversor assassin is fucking terrifying.
Malcador was personally dangerous, for certain, but he was probably a good pick for Master of Assassins because he had a high-level view of the Empire, and the political awareness and foresight to determine if a problematic personage needed a quiet visit, a rough reprimand, or a bullet to the head.
Wait...what are yall dusty butt cheeks doing?

"the nundam is kind of goofy"
*Points at the entire rest of 40k*
At least it was Guilliman who reach Terra to reform the High Lords. If it was 30K Lion, lots of heads will be lopped off by him personally. The more mellow 40k Lion have more pressing issues to deal with in Imperium Nihilus. Guilliman did appoints his own sets of people (include those he knew would turn).
If it was corax, hed have killed all the high lords and tried to abolish the position if he could
@@sirkelendor5429 nope corax very much understands the need of positions like those, not to mention it's how his father wanted humanity to work.
@@tarektechmarine8209 he understands the need of them, but their ways and methods are those of detestable tyrants. He would end them and most likely try to replace them with more fair rulers, as his legion does
Y'all put this out at just the right time. I started Watchers of the Throne 2: The Regents Shadow which starts off with the reformation of the High Lords
“ Lord Commander Solar” is the replacement position for “ Warmaster” In the Imperium. Since SOMEBODY had to go and ruin that position with their diaper baby shit fit.
what a fun and interesting episode, thanks Adric. i actually never knew much about the highlords outside of tts
50:31 The Chartist Captains are the Rogue Traders. The name relates to the Imperial charters they operate under.
To give a slightly more detailed happening of the beheading. High assassin guy was placed in charge of the high lords by the then chapter master of the imperial fists (who was actually the chapter master of the fist or first exemplars because the the last chapter master of the imperial fists and last actual original imperial fist was killed by the beast) and told to keep them from in fighting which caused huge problems for the war. Well the second the fists were gone and peaced the infighting and plotting happened again which kind of broke the assassin leader because they literally just saw what they could do together and that the infighting had caused… so he set up a plan to kill/control/replace the high lords. Those he couldn’t control he had killed (assassination and tricking into committing suicide) those he could control he did (he kept the inquisition rep he was in love with prisoner and legitimized the fabricator general who did tech heresy and moved his mind to a computer.) and then replaced them all with people loyal . This lasted for a century until assassin leader went insane. Fists came back to deal with it. Where yeah.. 1 man standing.
They are sitting in the hand of the Fabricator general, and he's also the painter of the portrait.
"Stand still in my hand, Meatbags. We must immortalize this moment in the name of the Omnissiah."
I don't think the Spear of Illumination is a Custodian's Weapon per se, but an ancient relic that the custodian kept
🎵Greetings Custodes! How are you this day? Have you brought me any cool ancient tech to displaaaaaay?🎶
Honestly it would be great if whoever the current Mars Fabricator General got a Mini, it would be nice to have a major named mechanicus character other the Cawl. Or they could bring back Kelbor Hal as a daemon prince of the dark mechanicus, that would be nice too.
32:09
Now... here me out, if Macharius with the winged helmet was Alexander the Great in space. That means Lyontes is going to be Aurelian, aka the unificator of a divided empire.
"Astartes-pattern baldness" broke me.😂
The office of those fired High Lords very much remain. They just got new people in those rolls.
The captain general of the adeptus custodies is Kitten otherwose known as Sun Cat, and you cannot change my mind.
Sentient walking newspaper, tube of custard, golden banana and... lipstick-looking brotherfucker... also man-cat of fallus...
TTS is confirmed to be an alternate universe where kitten won instead of Valoris
Anti-air gun shoulder pads is one of the most 40k things ever.
about the artwork of the highlords of terra, i also love that immensly and i really want to see a lord solar painted in that colour scheme.
not sure if they later talk about it, but i am pretty sure Leontus is not a high lord of terra.
while a lord solar technically can become highlord its usually the Lord Commander Militant that fullfills that role and contrary to morvenn vahl which was in her community reveal directly called highlord, they didnt call leontus a highlord in any media i could find.
i think the artwork is more supposed to represent the leaders on terra preparing for the new front of tyrannids. since thats what the trailer the artwork is from is also about.
Wait what did Decius do? All I know about him is his portrayal as the Manclesiarch in TTS and he seemed like a good boy there.
Same. All I could find is that he was accused of chaos worship but even in regular 40k this doesn’t make sense.
I think it has been awhile since I've laughed as hard as I did in regards to Paul Rudd and Lorgar...goodness me! Always enjoy your contents and I shall endeavor to continue to listen and support for as long as I can. Unfortunately my hearing loss is getting worse and you're beautiful voices are going away...lmfao.

When I visited my friend in Texas we went to the GW store and I saved a Baneblade from the incinerator. They were gonna chuck it to make room for new stock. As a little inside joke I mounted heavy flamers on it’s sponsons and made a little battle scarred Texas flag to mount on the top of the turret with a toothpick that I made into a flagpole.

Looking on CSM and Mechanicum covers, I just can't wait how Dark Mechanicum would look like
I feel like the solar guy is what the emperor would love. The pinnacle of a normal human. Just pure and absolute and powerful
I absolutely LOVE the kingmaker, such fun book, almost done with it
Love this. For next book club let’s do BlackStone. The book that features Drake of House Drake the Rouge Trader!
DK really should have been leading with skaven, that's where the cheese is my boy. Feet pics are like mold spots for added flavor
dude, noticing the Fab-Gen in the top-right corner legitimately startled me, i thought it was just ambient metal joints you see everywhere in 40k art
Wait, Decius is dead?? Oh my, first Dominique and now him too?? 😢
Celestine must have taken offense to the Manclessiarch preaching the revised Lecticio of the Man-Emperor. 😢
Yes he was corrupted by chaos and began to work to tzeench iirc
New episode that fast?! Nice!
As a White Scars fan, I fully support Jaghatai being played by Tony Soprano
Malcador the Sigilite was Grandmaster of the Assassinorum and Drakan Vangorich took over the High lords after killing them off, he was very effective but mentally unstable which considering he was basically running the Imperium on his own isn't too surprising.
I cannot be the only one who was yelling Shaft Hat at the screen when Bricky was asking about the Ecclesiarch
Bricky in and out knowledge trips me out sometimes. He didn't know who Pauly Shore is lol
Bless Shy for the fast edit
From that artwork, Lord Solar reminds me of Karl Franz from fantasy
RATS!!! RATS!!! WERE THE RATS!!!
All in favor of a dedicated morvenn vahl episode say "I"
i am once again askling your you to read the watchers of the throne duology. seriously, the second book covers how it was like durring the reforms
Love your podcast!
that custodes is not a custodes, thats an ogryn from darktide in gold armor.
Lord Solar wearing a helmet that protects him from harm and on an iv drip of de-aging juice: "Remember soldier, if you eat your vegetables and exercise, you'll grow up big and strong like me! Now fix bayonets and charge!"
His horse who does not have the protection of said helmet, and who has been blown up hundreds of times over hundreds of years, who's probably just 14 braincells and half a rib at this point, only to be duct taped back together just to do it all again tommorow: why won't I just die...
I feel there's analogy about how the imperium treats its soldiers here.
47:52 Maybe it's a weapon designed and hand crafted BY the custodes and not craft FOR the custodians. Like "hey you're not allowed to eat my cake but I baked this one for you."
I cannot believe they refrained from any “just a little guys” when talking about the lord solar
*distant noises of the shattering of an ancient intestinal tract*
Damn, DK really whipped out the "Bubblegum Crisis" reference, that is some vintage quality.
I was rewatching the episode on the navel fleet just the other night while i was in bed. Passed out right when they were speaking about the high lords of terra in that episode too and thought they should get to that episode soon. Then bam what happens. The very next one is on the high lords. In my head much it seems.
1:13 We've all experienced firsthand that level of "Oh no".
The Inquisitorial Representative appears to be taking part in a 2-person cosplay of an Imperator Titan with the Abbess stand-in.
The fact that decius got decapitated by celestine will now always make me sad when i rewatch tts
*That's* Kitten? Damn. He got that Dad of War bod
Did I miss the mention of the Commandant of the Schola Progenium as one of the rotating high lords? He's my fave, because, maker of commisars
DK needs to hit up PancreasNoWork for that skaven lore. That man knows fantasy like knows about the imperial guard
CLANRATS YESYES in reality I am SOO exited for bricky to see the skaven stuff, god I’m exited for that episode!!!
If Cawl gets named Fabricator General, we'd have models for 4 High Lords of Terra, the other 3 being:
Lord Solar Leontus
Abbess Sanctorum Morvenn Vahl
Captain-General Trajann Valoris
Last time he was asked about that, he flatly rejected the notion through.
Too much trouble and so little time for his research. His pseudo personality "AI" Through...
The Lorgar meme is good. Needs the rune dome.
If you could go more into detail on the hexarchy or Guilliman's scourge I'd love that! We'd get a lot of 'JESUS' out of DK
Navigator houses also have persons that have no third eye and they often work as politicians and secure work and power for their house.
This is mainly due to the short lifespan of navigators, well because warp eye…
Wow, can't believe that through this in depth discussion on the High Lords of Terra the takeaway from it all is that Paul Rudd is Lorgar.
Hell ya bubblegum crisis reference!! Way to go
