Wanna have your mind blown as a Starcraft player?
Starcraft was originally supposed to be a 40k game.
The Zerg were supposed to be the Tyranids and the Protos were supposed to be Eldar. And of course, the Terran marines look very similar to Space Marines.
The ships are viewed by the eclesiarcy and mechanium as temples of war which is why theyre literally flying cathedrals
Inquisitior? Right here.
Well if you are StarCraft fan, this would be familiar to you. Why? Cause both SC and WarCraft were supposed to be Warhammer games. SC = Warhammer 40k, WC = Warhammer Fantasy.
Blizzard were huge fans of the franchise and wanted to work with Gamers Worshop.
Unfortunately GW refused the license at some point. So blizzard changed some things and you got SC.
There is a reason why Zerg look and sound exactly like Tyranids. Protoss like Eldar.
This...Blizzard decided to steal GW IP after the deal fell through and changed it just enough not to get sued. Blizzard was super shady doing that so I boycotted SC and WC games...
@@WolvesHart79 Oh yeah because GW didn't steal from every sci-fi and fantasy source imaginary
@@TheMallen2712 Yeah, most IPs draw inspiration from other IPs...totally different from entering into negotiations to use a specific companies IP and then outright adapting that IP but deliberately making just enough changes to avoid copyright infringement lawsuits. See the difference?
You're correct on Warcraft, but Starcraft is its own thing which like 40k took inspirations from 1950s starship troopers, while also taking inspiration from aliens vs predators.
@@gamechanger8908 Again, inspiration is one thing...entering negotiations with a company that has a specific IP and backing out, only to change that IP just enough to avoid litigating, is a totally different thing.
For lore I would start with "Every single Warhammer 40k faction explained" part 1 and 2 from Bricky. It's chill and newbie friendly, explained with humour and heavily summarized, not too heavy to digest. After that, for more lore check out Luetin09. He has everything you could possible need for lore, he has a playlist on his channel for the entire 40k lore, in order.
When it comes to animation, there are a handful to go for but most are cinematic trailers for 40k games or fan animations. To start off:
Astartes parts 1-5.
Thank you for the insight! I will make a extra Warhammer 40k list.
@@FBJ_TV Yeah definitely watch Bricky videos, is a great and entertaining explanation of Warhammer 40k in a nut shell.
thats just a simple overview. Its boring to listen to plain overviews. He needs real stories to enjoy like Star Wars vs Warhammers 40,000 its like an audio book with an amazing voice actor. Theres also stories like the Siege of Vrax, The Twice Dead King, The Fall of Cadia and many more. Once he actually gets to like the story, then he'll want to know the boring stuff overview. We all started with good lore stories and only after those we decided to look up the borinh spoiler stuff.
@@tusk3260 Yes, they are overviews. They are overviews for a reason. There are 600 books about Warhammer 40k. So instead of saying "Go read like 50 books, after that you'll have enough understanding of the lore" it's much easier to say "go watch like 2 hours worth of summarized lore videos". Not everyone can invest years into studying a franchise they may or may not even enjoy.
@@omnissiah7247 What happens when you go to watch a scary movie but your annoying friend already told you watch happens in the scary parts? You find the movie because it didnht scare you because you already knew what to expect.
We hatr spoilers that spoils all the good parts before we see it for ourselves.
-
Now that he learned all the factions the easy way, he wont want to read the books because he's been spoiled!
Dude, the narrator on that first video is top tier.
Chef's kiss my man.
"Only in Death...Does duty end."
There is also "The Horus heresy" cinematic and "The armouring of a space marine", and a trailer for Space Marine 2. Also you could react to Exodite
Ah, well, one dude in the comments named a lot of them, so yup. But there is also Exodite, which is pretty dope
Warhammer 40k is such a big universe it's crazy. I'm into it for like 4 years and i know maybe 30% of it.
The mix between grimdark, gore, motivations and lore for every faction (there are a lot of factions in 40k) is very interesting to me. I think everyone can find something cool and interesting in this universe, no matter what kind of person you are.
Have fun discovering the world of 40k ✌🏻
It is so vast, that you need something like a bachelor's degree specializing in one specific topic.
You may be really good at one faction but know almost nothing of another. And it all get muddled when you consider everything is cannon, because everything is told from the perspective of characters. So the lore is what you believe it is.
Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Estimated time of getting up to speed: 3 days
Estimated time of reaching the bottom: 16 months
Estimated time of climbing back out: TBD
eldar:its not yours its thiers *BIG BOI TYRANID POPS UP*
All starcraft fans eventually turn into warhammer fans.
Keep in mind, this is only an introduction. WH40K lore is DEEP! You could make a CZcams channel of just reactions to WH40K lore videos, and, never run dry of content.
Fun fact: We, the players are the 'thirsting gods', and the carnage will continue for our amusement.
the churches on the ships arnt just decoration
they also help keep the hell away when they use it as their ftl method
doesnt help much, but since its hell every little helps
Fyi the 3 factions are
The Space Marines (Humans)
Da Orks (Orcs in Space)
The Eldar (Elves in Space)
Warp. Basically parallel universe, filled with manifestation of feelings, subconscious, toughts, dreams of every living creature, mixed into one. And since carnial needs, most brutal and basic are strongest thus they get manifested stronger - as Chaos Gods. Khorne is rage, god of anger, blood, massacre. Nurgle is illnes, deterioration, miasma and rot. Slaanesh is sex, pleasure, pain, excess and starving for perfection and beauty. Tzeench is change, lie, knowledge, power and madness. But there is much more things in Warp. Some people - psykers - can tap their minds directly to this source of power and use it to do basically magic. But often it cost them madness, corruption or death. And then - Warp is only way for starships to reach FTL - only by entering there and navigating confusing streams under guidance three eyed Navigators, they can travell between stars. That's why Astronomican is so important - being manifestation of gigantic psychic power that is Emperor (before get maimed by his rebelled son - Horus, he was ultimate and most powerful of psykers ever, able to even trick Chaos Gods) it is used to navigate trough Warp, serving as lighthouse. That's also why Inquisition is important. Relation to Warp is two way - if someone too much give themselves to those animalistic feelings - faster or later Chaos will answer (and much faster if they are psyker) - that's why Inquisition need to catch those who not follow Imperial rule. Because someone with mind override with Chaos will soon drag others, and rebellion will grow as fire. Other traitors will flock there. And in worst case scenario - creatures of Warp, that are like pieces of Chaos Gods power - Demons will manifest and open portals letting more cultists and mosters flood in. Biggest, millenia old portal to Warp, that basically engulf big chunk of galaxy is Eye Of Terror. It was created because race of psykers - Eldars - decided to party little too much - and all accumulated unspoken debauchery that bored immortals were able to procure, explosively manifested killing most of them and creating new God of Chaos - Slaanesh.
the horus heresy trailer is also pretty good, shame it wasn't included on this.
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer if you want the low voice of an storyteller with actual original stories and lore then he is your man. Longish videos 30-60 mins.
Majorkill if you want edgy jokes with an australian accent. 10-15 min videos.
Oculus Imperialis if you like to get your lore through a man roleplaying as a rememberancer (historian) of the Warhammer 40k universe. 20-30 min long videos.
Luetin09 in depth facts and some speculation about the more obscure parts of the universe, miniatures and little about the books. 25-80 min long videos.
Wolf Lord Rho mainly about talking and speculating about specific people or events by referencing the books related to them or talking about the books themselves. Both factual and speculative with the true fan boy enthusiasm. 10-20min videos.
Can't recommend all of them enough.
The mechanicus soundtrack is a bloody masterpiece, by the way.
You want to learn more on 40K? I recommend whatching Star Wars vs Warhammers 40,000 its a series made by A Fan With To Much Time it will introduce you to pretty much all the Human factions of 40k and very accurately. At the same time you have the star wars clones that you already know so you get a really good idea of how strong each factions are. Fan is an amazing voice actor so it will be a real treat for you. Here's the first episode: czcams.com/video/y5pm-cddO3c/video.html
Begin with something fun like if the Emperor had a Text to speech device. Early on it covers a lot of background lore. Moving on a few of the books and games are very noob friendly and I was a fan of Dawn of War II, Battlefleet Gothic II and the Eisenhorn book Trilogy (on audible). Ultimately the lore spans decades of work so if you still want more you can start looking up lore videos. Adeptus Ridiculus and Lutein are good places. There are plenty of books on audible and some popular titles like the Gaunt's Ghost series are well loved by the community. The table top game is well loved as well but depending on where you live (and your income) you may have a challenge getting that going.
A great fan made short is the death korps of kreig by sodaz.
That final scene really describes the galaxy well in Dawn of War III. It's just one big meat grinder. Universe always wins.
the cuthulu like alien are like zerg ! they eat planets
I know this cinematic collection is the most reacted to, but it really is just the most random selection of trailers. There really is no discernable method of selection to it. I'd probably start with GWs cinematics (9th edition, kill team, armoring and Horus Heresy) and the Dawn of War trailers/intros, maybe Battlefleet Gothic Armada (1 and 2) too. From there you'll just have to see.
ignoring the audio dramas, lore in video games, lore in codexes and on the websites, ignoring the lore in short stories published in white dwarf magazine since the late 80's, and only counting the actual published novels. There is i think around 600 books.
I have read about 50 of them since i got interested 2 years ago, but none of my friends care to listen much. So i get my fix with warhammer reaction videos on youtube.
I see a lot of people suggesting the bricky videos, they are good. If you want something a bit shorter to start with, maybe "The imperium of man" video by "the templin institute". That one only looks at the humans though, and isn't as funny as bricky.
Mind f for the day: Every faction in 40k plays the table top game in universe, to learn better fight the other factions.
I entered warhammer 40k 4 months ago. And these 2 videos of youtuber bricky "Every single Warhammer 40k Faction Explained"(czcams.com/video/xCGKPRiJp84/video.html and czcams.com/video/Y6jnsX77TCU/video.html) in the beginning helped me the most to understand how 40k works. so these two videos I recommend for better understanding of 40k universe.
bricky's videos are a nice short intro to the important faction
Likewise. And from there I found Leutin and Majorkill.
2 very different styles of content.
One for deep lore and the other for funni Aussie abridged version
best game to get into is Dawn of War base builder has few expansions as well.
Protoss is based on Eldar, but I consider Protoss a more interesting since Eldar looks just like human, which is kind of boring.
Zerg is based on Tyranid: I consider Zerg a more exotic version of Tyranid.
Terran is based on Human, Space Marine in particular, but Space Marine is generally way more interesting and terrifying than Terran. Terran marine is a bunch of Rednecks in combat suits, while Space Marine is basically genetically modified Medieval Crusaders in space.
the story to 40K is too long
I love that you are excited
Welcome to the Warhammer community
The only name you need is " BRICKY".
DoW3 trailer is still the best one for any game i have ever seen
they captured 40k so well
and then the game happened
You should check out Helsreach by Richard Boyland, a full mega epic movie about 40k
If you think that IT looks similar to Starcraft...
It because it is...
Originaly(according to urban legends) Games Workshop partnered with Blizzard to make a 40k RTS game(in the wake of Blizz's Warcraft success).
And for some reasons GW bailed amidst developpement, taking the rights to the IP with them...
So Blizz were left there with an engine, models and assets, so they tweaked and rework what they had and made their own thing (more or less) and it gave birth to Starcraft.
GW have a LONG tradition of shooting themselfs in the foot when it comes to their IP exploitation...
They are mostly outta touch with their core audience and players and focus on the wrong things.
Good thing that the univers of 40k is so darn epic and interesting, so people Loves it to death, but honestly if another Company that wasn't as inept and incompetent as GW, would buy the IP back somehow, everyone would rejoice in Glee and no one would shed a tear for GeeDub...
The horus heresy cinematic that just came out, battlefleet gothic armada faction trailers, 9th edition trailer, astartes, space marine 1 and 2 trailers, and brickys every faction explained video. I’ll wait a week for you to finish tumbling down the never ending pit that will be your recomendation screen after finishing those before giving the second dose.
Play the warhammer fantasy trilogy games my friend. You will love em.
Same shirt
React to helsreach it's a fan made movie about the book. You will love it.
"Master of mankind by the will of the Gods?" what?
Of course it's gory, this is the universe where one of the bad guys is the God of blood and skulls.
Please react to Astartes 1-5 and the The Imperium of Man by the templin Institute
Baldemort will be useful. Luetin and arch and majorkill.
Astartes is an absolute must to watch.
NO THE TEMPTATUS SCION NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Starcraft and Warcraft would not exist if Blizzard and GamesWorkshop did not have a creative differences during the development of those games. Blizzard was hired by G.W. to make a Warhammer Fantasy and a Warhammer 40K game and that fell apart so Blizzard changed a few things and made their own IP.
i dont understand. why the heck does noone ever include dawn of war 1's cinematic trailers? it was one of the best trailers imo
Come Join us Bother!
Starcraft was originally suppose to be a Warhammer 40k game
Fun fact: Starcraft was originally going to be a Warhammer 40K game. That's why the Terrans resemble the Imperium, the Protoss resemble the Eldar, and the Zerg resemble the Tyranids. Game Workshop pulled the license on the project so Blizzard just reskinned everything and named it Starcraft. GW has a notable history of making incredibly horrible marketing decisions for their brands, but breaking ties early with Blizzard was probably the worst one.
Possibly rivaled only by the decision to axe the old world shortly before the release of Totalwar Warhammer.
Dawn of War had the strongest story and the best expansions (except Soulstorm, unless you use the Ultimate Apocalypse mod, in which case it's *the* best expansion). DoW2 was smaller scale, but had the best soundtrack. DoW3 had the best-produced trailer in the trilogy, but the game itself killed the franchise.
Space Marine was a slaughterfest, and it's multiplayer inspired an attempt to make a pvp MMO, before it was reduced to team-based PvP, which sucked. Here's hoping SM2 improves on both campaign and multiplayer. That said, you are hereby requested and required to react to TheRussianBadger's review, FOR THE EMPEROR, and probably HEAVY FLAMER HERESY as well.
Without Baldermort there is no 40k check his channel out
Hehehehe.... imagine that warcraft and starcraft is..... an ant ........and whole Warhammer universe ??? Age of Sigmar and 40K ? is an Elephant :D :D :D
He has no understanding of it. U can just tell. He probably thinks StarCraft created the term space marine
Starcraft was initially intended to be a warhammer 40K games but ten games workshop fucked up I don’t remember how or why but they did and Starcraft was the result
Want to be even more confused but see the pièce de résistance of 40k animation? Go watch Astartes. You'll forever ask yourself, why isn't their more? GW, GW is always the reason.
2 rules of thumb for 40k and 2 other rules for the fans.
Rule 1) there are no Good guys, even the Tau while they look good on the outside, well think Ba sing se from Avatar.
Rule 2) Scale! 40k is all about a universe of an absurd (yet somehow believable) scale think of everyone who fought in WW2, which amounted to about 2~3% of humanity at the time...that's less than how many soldiers a given planet will use in its own defense.
Fan rules
1) we are "fascists" everyone in 40k is evil, we like a dark universe that might have some sprinklings of hope, but generally if the uniform is awesome or the monster is cool we like it.
2) humor, 40k fans have weird humor. From Orks using the power of imagination to jokes about ethnic genocide, we'll laugh at it all, inclusing ourselves in a meta joke as we take the universe too seriously for the fun of it, or not seriously at all and flipflop just to troll.
You should watch Astartes, it is the best 40k cinematic ever made!!
If you want to get into the LORE might I suggest watching WarHammer 40,000 channels Arch, Luetin09, Baldermort's Guides, Oculus Imperia,Wolf Lord Rho. Here's a fan Movie called Astartes.
OK just like to point out mechanicus has THE best and most setting appropriate ost to any game/franchise ever made.
Orks are comic relief, there is little that is actually scary about them... beside the fact that they literally HAVE to fight. A Ork that doesn't fight will get sick. And they love fighting, for them a eldritch horror infestation of their ship during FTL travel is considered in-flight entertainment for the Orks. This is a race that kills itself just as much as they kill everyone else. They aren't angry, they aren't upset, they are just happy to be krumping stuff.
These are the guys whose technology is fueled by belief, because they believe that this amalgamation of scrap metal, two pieces of wood, some string and three rubber bands is a gun, it will be a gun. Because they belief that red things move faster, they paint their vehicles red and they WILL go faster. Orks are sooooo numerous, that if they would stop fighting each other for 5 seconds and form one big blob, they could overrun every single race in the WH40K universe. But they are too stupid to realize this. They are hilarious and have some of the funniest stories in their repertoire.
Im still waiting and wishing for all christian churches around the wold just to lift and united the Galaxy in the name of Mankid.
Not a real starcraft fan, if you not aware where starcraft basically came from.
Try watching the whole video 21:10
React to the tts series
Cinematics were pretty cool, but your "reactions" need to be a little more varied than "K....k....ok....k...ok...k...k...k....k..ok....k....ok...ok....k..." Commentary would be welcome, more reaction, something...
Who wears a army shirt? Lol that's so weird.
hmm....just have to cheek ,doess he know that all the 'craft' ips of actvizz just is carbon copies of 40k basics that where jiggled around a bit and renamed to avoid law suits as they not got rights to publish in the warhammer lisence names or such ? ^^ ...so if you like starcraft or warcraft ,theres a near garantie you enjoy 40 k...though the owners of all the ips is more or lees crap piles of the same nature these days wich is a shame :/
youtube channel Templin Institute! for your quick digest faction guides, in real real good quality
