***Read this first***
*First:* No this is NOT replacing the main 40K Theories series, this is a supplementary series.
*Second:* Yes I know I have glossed over a lot of the specific details, but as stated this is meant to be more of an introductory video to newcomers to ease them in gently without being overwhelming.
*Third:* Specific topics will be covered in greater detail such as the history of the Imperium, who the Space Marines are (Including the different chapters) etc in their own specific videos.
*Fourth:* The first few videos of this series will be brief overviews of each faction, again to ease newcomers to the lore gently in without overwhelming them.
While the content of these videos may not be giving much to hardcore 40K lore buffs, we hope that those new to the fandom can learn something and enjoy.
Thank You.
40K Theories ok
40K Theories thank you! My girlfriend has been asking me to share my interests with her for months but I've always been hesitant to share 40k with her because there wasn't any way to introduce her to it without overwhelming her. This is incredibly helpful!
Marionette Du Auguste
You can have a girlfriend and play 40k at the same time? Is this change - no, change = heresy - you are a heretic!
Jokes aside, good for you. More things for you and your girl to do together.
Anu Cheeki Breeki vi Damke!
Nicely done! :D
40K Theories it's cataCAN jungle fighter
i remember when i first started learning about 40k a year or two ago i couldn't make heads or tails of it
MrAwsomenoob yeah me too but I was introduced through Dawn of war so I started with very basic lore
I’ve just started playing the dark imperium set...soooo much to learn
The fucking pseudo-latin bullshit is very confusing at first.
@Lord Skeletor well 40k theories lore for new comers is a good place to start. But look on channels like Luetin09 or Arch warhammer if you wanna go balls deep into the lore. Just a reminder that while arch makes good lore videos it is a pretty political channel so steer clear of certain vids if that's not your bag. here's a few playlists just find something that looks interesting and go from there. Good luck brother!

I thank my bro for getting into the series
Time to donate more toasters to the cause!
Good job with the intro video to 40k. I enjoyed how it was broken down and will definitely use this to help introduce people to Emperors grand light.
This should be required viewing for anyone new to 40K
I know most if not all of this stuff. I just came to hear Reimleiz mechanically silky voice
Aww
40K Theories Do I see a dino tech priest blushing?
I already know the lore
Not gonna stop me from watching the shit out of this
A sucsessfull launch of a series 40k theories team
Thank you
Agreed. Last time I played Warhammer the table top version was....10-12 years ago. Since coming back into it, I have seen alot has changed, and it is diffuclt for me to process it all. So I am looking forward to this series somewhat like a refresher course haha.
I'm going to recommend this video to any newcomer to 40k, it is that good.
What about the food of the Imperium? Also Taco Tuesdays, Thursdays or Fridays?
Wednesdays
Mondays
Armored mecha tuesdays of course
HERESY!
Armored mecha It’s SHIT! Literally
When you already know the subject matter of the video but watch it anyway.
Thank you so much for this series. I'm looking forward to learning more about the cultural, socio-political, and general badassness of this universe!!!
Thank you for this.

Inquisitorial notice: this video has been deemed heretical due to an insufficient amount of praise of the Emperor and the Imperium as a whole. =][=
The Emperor protects
I prefer to worship the emperor by slaying the traitors of mankind, daemons and foul xenos, rather than constantly bowing down and asking for help, rather than yourself helping the imperium survive and buy some more time for the emperor to rise again.
I deem your way of worshipping of the emperor as fruitless and therefore heretical.
Only through servitude your soul shall be redeemed.
But feel no shame as long as you're willing to redeem yourself brother. I myself have done my fair share of mistakes i had to pay for, i was originally meant to toil my life away in manufactorum, while my brothers went to war because i was deemed too weak, so i went doing deliberate crimes just so i could get into the penal legions, from where i made my true purpose come true. Only a combat knife and sorry excuse for armor allowed me to along with my colleagues to stop several planned exterminatus from happening, 20ish orks, 14ish eldars and other filth. If only those khornate wankers stopped trying to convince me to join them, makes them too easy of a target.
I even got nicknamed by the orks as ''that jumpy git'', if only they finally pissed off.
The best thing since the dark age of technology
Sadly the technology for sliced bread has long since been lost.
Ask cawl, he most likely copied xeno tech again....
RoflcoptertrollingHD that is HERACEY!
Glad to hear the normal 40k theories stuff is continuing. There are many questions about the nature of the warp and existence after death that need to be addressed.
Here's a thought for the day: a quote from the novel Deathfire made by Salamander librarian, Ushamann, to the shipmaster, Abyssian, who is considering giving up his soul to a daemon.
"There is no surrender for you or I, shipmaster. A soul is not consumed and then at peace. It will burn forever in eternal torment."
So there we have it - more evidence that every human with a soul suffers for eternity in the warp after death. Consumption by a daemon means to suffer eternally at its hands, which is consistent with Eldar souls being consumed by Slaanesh and then suffering for eternity.
Everything is canon, but not everything is true.
Just because Librarian Ushamann thinks so, it is not true automatically.
The vast majority of souls almost certainly just dissipate in the Warp, not being promised to any demon and thus with no one on hand to fish them out of the entropic environment of the Immaterium. Eldar souls go to Slaanesh when they die because their hand in creating Her binds them to Her essence, although the creation of Ynnead has put a stop to this for now. But yeah, most people die, end up in the Warp, and have their souls ripped apart absolutely.
I was alweys thinking that imperator titan was bigger than 50m thats underwelming tbh
I'm glad I found this channel. This is my first video and I'm a new sub. Can't wait to explore all the content that you have.
Thank you for doing this I can now show moar easily my friends the way to the Emperor's side.
I mean TB's lore in a minute is great and all but very small.
your videos are always helpful for understanding the lore of 40k!
This stuff is fascinating. I love the artwork and the lore. We need this on HBO, once Game Of Thrones ends.
This is the best video to introduce 40k, clear and simple, good work!
This was a fun episode. Hope to see more
Really enjoyed this video, looking forward to more in this series!
Thanks for this, I knew most of this but it gives me a rather good frame of reference. So thanks again
I thouroughly enjoyed this! Cant wait to hear more
This is a great way to get more acquainted with the Warhammer 40k universe. That along with the Warhammer 40k (Horus Heresy) Lore in a Minute and a dash of Bruva Alfabusa.
Well done, Remleiz!
Thanks for this series Rem! I'll be playing a one shot of Wrath and Glory this weekend and I've sent this series to a friend who knows very little about the setting(outside of my ramblings I've bothered him with anyways)
A great initiative to possibly recruit more people to bask in Nurgle's glory and give their souls and body to him! Welcome! Nurgle is the only god who will ever truly love you!
neverAskMeWhy07 the emperor isn't a god so he'll love you more!
HERESY
praise the holy emperor and the amazing voice of those who ex plane the confusing lore of 40k.
thank you Remleiz for your work
Cheers for this .Good job
Excellent story mate!!
Thanks for the vid sir.
Thanks for this, I can now explain 40k to my friends.
Good stuff! I haven’t payed in over twenty years but I do read a lot of the books. This is great knowledge for anyone that is just starting.
One funny thing that happened to me in my current Stellaris game is that Mars turned out to be an agri-world.
For when you want to introduce someone to 40k, but using TTS as their entry point is too silly for them.
What’s TTS?
@@lukelandis3090 text to speech
there's some stuff I didn't know about the imperium but hopefully your newcomer series will be a success
( p.s even though the emperor isn't simular to God in real life but he still has powers )
*Knocks on the door.*
Inquisition, open up.
Praise the Omnissiah!
Galvars now we are talking!
I noticed that their are alot of new people in the hobby so this is a good thing.
I gotta admit this is probably the best explaining lore about 40K cuz it's like a history documentary in a way perfect for newcomers I will it recommended to a few friends who have been slightly interested in it I tried explaining the lore once but I'm no Arch or you or other people who are lore Wizards I'm just a 17 year old with big least an a intermediate/just about to get to expert level of knowledge and not the greatest at explaining things so yeah
PS is there an actual name for the Imperial Navy that's adeptus and some other word because it feels like an odd man out at least to me
Exilent video this will be handy for introducing new people to the game
So, there's two all-female military factions (Sisters of Silence & Sisters of Battle) and two all-male military factions (Space Marines & Custodians).
...so, uhm...
...why was there a thing about that before?
i have 2 questions about the iron halos, i know that these nifty things can reduce the force of anything that comes in it field even some energy attack, first off, can a space marine have multiple halos(like say 3 one where you'd expect the halo and 2 attached to the shoulder pads) and would the power of the field be stronger, larger, or more efficient in what it does, second thing can it be used like a weapon, it uses a gravity field that improves defense almost similar to power weapons, could the halo be used to improve the striking force of melee strikes. i'm just wondering
Since 'segmentum' is borrowed from latin, the plurar is 'segmentæ'.
Idea for a 4k theory: which regiments are raised from Terra?
Lucifer Blacks
Anyone have a link to an HQ image of 13:50? I really want it for a desktop wallpaper.
Where can I find the source of that image in 4:04?
Thanks for the video. I never paid attention to this before but the solar segmentum is located in an area of the milky way galaxy that is completely different from where non fiction analysis & science says earth is located in the milky way galaxy. Earth is supposed to be located on the Orion spur. Where as in 40k, terra does not look to be located on the Orion spur. Even still it may be close. This may in fact conclude that 40k does not exist within in the same linear dimension of time as our earth. This would explain why physics in 40k are different from our form of physics, it would also explain why 40k describes the galaxy in the form of east or west. In our dimension, because the universe is dynamic and not static there is no 2 dimensional concept of east and west in outer space. Where as in 40k there is a constant north, eastern Fringe, and so on. Thanks again for the video. This has stood out to me today more than before. For those that argue that 40k exists in the same linear dimension of time as our own earth, I suppose they could argue that the earth, galaxy, or universe has taken some type of shift or change in the future that defies the current rules of physics.
Thx
tl;dw
The best faction ever.
Ollanius Pius what
So uh, did you shit your pants when facing down Horus?
Ollanius Pius the man himself has spoken
Would be even better if emps din't get stuck on the golden throne.
1:22 MAN-Emperor!
The fist picture of Big E was not head bobbing like I expected....
TL:DR, The inquisition is the Imperial internal auditing.
dear 40k theories, i really enjoy this series of videos because i am a bit of a newcomer to the warhammer 40k universe, and i hope the you will make more.
i also have some quistiosn for you.
1) are there any warhammer 40 novel that you would reconmend for a newcomer, I am very interested in the universe but not that much in the tabletop game, so i would like some good stuff to read.
2) could you make a video about what would happend if the imperium of man would ally them selv with other xeno races, llike the eldar of the tau, and what effect that might have on the galaxy?
sincerly yours.
M. U.
I plan to keep making more of these newcomer videos don't worry :)
In regards to a novel series to ease yourself into the 40K lore I'd recommend either the Eisenhorn series or the Gaunts Ghosts one.
From what I heard his last words were and I quote FUCKING HORUS
Great video for a newbie, me 😁
Emperor Protect!!!,Sith army's will help ofc,we are good!!!
arch love it...personally would have started with the warp
I'm not Arch...
Could someone help me?. I been trying to get my friend in 40k and I showed him this video but they said they understand VERY little of it.
“What is a throw?” Lead me here :P
Not strictly a question about history so much as general lore, but this has been bugging me since forever.
Psykers are the future, right? Big E was trying to shepherd us through our transition into something more like him, evolving into 'the new man' by the long and painful route his creation shortcut through millennia before.
So why the hell does everything (even the bits the Emperor personally mandated while he was still... fleshy) about the Imperium seem purpose-built to kill, neuter, cage and waste Psychics at every available opportunity? Seriously, from the look of things I'd say it's incredibly rare for a Psyker to ever reproduce. That's a real crappy way to guide Mankind through their evolution, if you ask me.
because everyone hates psykers
nobody knew about big Es plan (save maybe sanguineous and magni magic) and they were just too fucking hated to be open about it
and nowadays psykers have a bad habit of falling to chaos so they need to be controlled
Because every Psyker is a potential gateway for a demon invasion. Until either the majority of the population are Psykers or the Imperium have an effective way of screening for and shielding all its Psykers as the Emperor intended, then every Psyker will be treated as a dangerous threat. Which is exactly what they are.
Man oh man, is he going to be pissed when Girlyman somehow deus-ex's his bony ass back to life.
"Okay boys, tell me wha-OWW! What did you do, you raging fucktards???"
IIRC, initially everyone one chill about psykers being a thing; Then the whole eldar fucking up big time happened, demonic posessions happened and psykers became potential extreminatuses.
13:38 - I call them "red shirts".
What about the FAB CUSTODIES
LOYALTY INTENSIFIES
OH!
So it's not a new fast food chain.
Now I feel silly.
The Imperium and the Emperor need to work to replace the Emperor, his days are numbered so a more powerful psychic is needed. Perhaps perform a mass sacrifice of psychics as they did thousands of years ago to create the Emperor
But what about the cyberdongs?
So long as there are toasters, cyberdongs will be there to slap them.
While this covers a lot of ground rather well, I question whether the best way to introduce people to 40k is by beginning with the organized details and specific historical events.
Until someone is already familiar to some degree with the medievalism of the setting and the seemingly unavoidable set of factors that create it, it's going to be hard to connect with much of 40k's lofty top-down information.
I thought the sisters of silence were gifted with the antipsychic ability.
Can I use this as an intermission to my shitty twitch streams? Of course with credit.
Not sure why the Custodes, would let some random person have an audience with the Emperor, it's not like he has much to say!
But if I would be granted an audience and if 40K is possible alternative future, like many other franchises, are possible alternative realities, I have but one question, Was Half Life 3 ever made & so when, were, was their DLC, please oh mighty lord of Mankind, answer me this, and if not to the Warp with you!?
here's another tought for a day for all of you:"Open mind is like a fortress with it's gates wide open and unguarded."
"knowledge is power guarded it well"
2:33 forgot about that
For The Emperor!!!
Hello im new I want to learn more about this Warhammer40k for memes. Hope my reason isn't silly
Sound work.
Isn't this stuff more arch's domain?
In the grim world of 40k there are Dark Mechanicum Forge Worlds that make nothing but flesh lights and dildos. This is canon.
astra mili what?
AND SALAMANDES!!! YOU FORGOT THE SALAMANDERS IN THE LIST OF FAMOUS CHAPTERS!!
Chapter Master Tu'shan None but the average citizen and the guard truly appreciate our chapter.
It is true brother, but regardless of praise or the lack thereof, it is our righteous duty to continue in our service of the Emperor. VULKAN LIVES! *stomp stomp*
Chapter Master Tu'shan Our chapter are not glory seekers like our cousins. We know what our purpose is and we do it well. Knowing lives have been saved are enough for a son of Nocturne.
9m seems a little stumpy for a IK?
If only the mechanicus stoped makeing weapons and starded working on peaceful solutions we would have a much safer 40k univers.
Well... here we go, I guess.
Thank you for this. But I think the style was a bit slow to my liking. Others are of course welcome to chime in on this, but I found myself wanting to skip parts just because they took so long to say :)
Hey look it’s 2020 America
SPACE WOLVES!!!
(Shape shifts)
FUCKING FURRIES!!!
Who is?
Arbites dredd
Short answer: A dystopian hellhole. Slightly less short answer: Some imperial worlds are decent or even utopian, but most have at best sub-modern standards. Long answer: ERROR. Comment exceeded maximum character limit.
Look out arch.
Arch is too busy BEATING THE LIVING SHIT out of those Feminids - lol
SUPREME EMPEROR MITTENS Screw Arch and screw the Feminids! 40k doesn't need people using it as their soap box and ranting about political views.
H240909 thats not very nice.
It's not but its how I feel and I'm not going to apologize for it
H240909 if someone doesnt speak of these things then they go unnoticed and progress further and we dont want that
I'd just like to say this channel is great, but this one was let's say poorly done. When he mentioned the warhound titan he showed us a image of a reaver ( I'm aware that a warhound was in the background) but if you were new to 40k you'd think the reaver was a warhound, also he didn't mention the steal legion or the dark angels
I didn't mention every Imperial Guard regiment or Space Marine chapter because this is just a basic overview for newcomers to the hobby, otherwise the video would go on for several hours just mentioning all the thousands of chapters and regiments
Emperor-class titan is 50 m tall? =.= Better not to dwell in this area, because there are too many different sources and contradictions...
Whats a warhammer?
Its a hammer... that you wage war with.
A big hammer.
The navigators are a pretty blatant ripoff of the Guild Navigators of Frank Herbert's timeless series, Dune. I dont really mind. If you're gonna rip something off, you might as well do it from one of the gods of science fiction writing.
The fucking pseudo-latin names for all of this shit is very very confusing to the newcomer. Nick Rekieta's stream last night got me into the lore of 40k, and he mentioned your channel. These videos are great!
When making a mini knife ( Nepalese kukuri)
I cut my thigh open
Kinda proud
"Millions if not billions of worlds"... I'm pretty sure the Imperium only has approximately one million worlds
You should curse more like Arch Warhammer.
THERE ARE ALREADY TOO MANY CHANNELS DOING THIS SHIT, GIVE US MORE THEORIES INSTEAD, OR EVEN ADVANCED LORE VIDS.
You'll still be getting the theory videos every Monday as usual. This beginners series is mainly just to cover the main factions/most important characters as a reference point or refresher course to those new to 40K or coming back to it, as I have been requested to do these multiple times by multiple people on social media.
InB4 "better than arch *insert generic shit insult here* hammer
TTS did better ;)
