Intro by Henrik Sigeman
/ archwarhammer - Hry
Every time Arch talks about the Eldar bringing a god into existence he sounds like he is personally offended and angry at them.
Zellder I can't blame him, they're a bunch of lay-abouts with nothing better to do with their time but cause trouble including creating a God of murderfucking
as if you never did something stupid out of boredom. i think they are adoreable
he was their. he is upset about it because they wouldn't invite him. they just kept stealing his books.
You're not personally offended by it? I can't think of anything of more heretical than birthing a chaos god, and HERESY REQUIRES *BLAM*!
Same thing for when he talks about feminists or women
Light speed is too slow, we're going to have to go right to Ludicrous Speed.
They've gone plaid
Space balls any one. XD
the speed of smell
But sir! We will miss the target by a week and a half!? And I don't think the ship will be able to take it!
I'm surrounded by assholes
It really puts Horus, Failbaddon and so into into perspective when you realise that Magnus (arguably) did more to disrupt the Emperor's long term goals than the lot of them combined, while simply trying to deliver a helpful warning.
Failbaddon the spanked?🤣
That is just how much of a failure Magnus is.
Uncle Arch's story time! Yaaaaay!
Yaaaaay, it's story time again! :D
yes lets purge you first!
The only lap one isn't afraid to sit on yay
Read us another story Uncie Arch! Please! Just one moar!
"Come children; sit upon my huge lap while I tell you a story of The Emprah, who was also huge."
I always thought the ship "Event Horizon" was the first ship to poke her nose into the warp with no so great results
Lol, I just watched that movie for the first time last month and I was wondering if they borrowed the whole concept from Warhammer.
Where we're going you won't need eyes
That's what happened before they developed the gelar field.
6:46 ""A lot of butts" you say?" ~ Slaanesh
Emperor : (shouting when the webway was breached) : MAGNUUUS !!!!!!
MAGNUUUS !!!!!!
The Emperor of Mankind How are you doing Emps ?
Slime Man You know, shitting out some warp storms now and again...
+The Emperor of Mankind Now that's private information.
The Mother Fucking Emperor Well, we've been sitting on this fucking toilet seat for 10,000 years. Pretty intense!
So the Webway is a VPN.
Khaine VPN! The sponsor of today's video!
Dang ... spoilers
Astates marching straight into a craft world, what a glorious thought.
And we Eldar would cut them down if they tried! lol
+The Exarch As you say that an angry marine whispers in your ear "fuck you"
Yeah Marines usually do get angry when they lose
The Exarch I meant that they snuck up behind you while you were monologing and put a bolter to the back or your skull
Pillage their lands,Burn their Temples,Steal their women! :D
I wonder if there are actually Necrons sleeping on Cadia? Oh jeez, imagine if Abby finally gets a foothold on Cadia. Laughing in triumph, he begins the process of bringing forth the full might of his forces out of the Eye when suddenly monoliths begin to erupt from the ground, warriors and Immortals rise from the ground, and he turns to find himself face to face with a Phaeron.
@@danieldomeisen2632 CADIA STANDS! (in our hearts)
@@danieldomeisen2632 For as long as a single cadian trooper lives on, cadia will remain defiant to the depravity of the ruinous powers. CADIA STANDS!
Abaddon: Yes i did it! I finally conquered Cadia after 13 Black Crusade.
Necrons: Awakening protocol activeted.
Abaddon: CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!
Well it's easy pickings now if chaos pushing the black stone fortress into the planet is cannon.
Kyle Trathen considering the galaxy has been literally turned into the universes asshole due to the great rift ( the great rift is the crack, the two halves the cheeks and the eye of terror the hole) I'd say it's safe to say that Cadia has been lost
Ahhhm, Arch, I'll have to stop you right there. There are webway portals of INSANE sizes. Eldar transport entire Battlefleets through the webway, consisting of ships up to glorianna class sizes. And to add to this insanity, as you said, the Eldar actualy did stuff a Craftworld in there: The Black Library. That Thing is a houmongous construct (bigger than most Craftworlds) , Floating through the Webway. The Eldar also have the tech to expand the openings, or even create new ones, by using bone singers and Farseers. And the Dark Eldar can even build up short streches of new tunnel without using psychic power(carryable Webway Portal), and don't even need a Portal to anchor that tunnel .As for the whole Slaneeshy birth Thing: The Craftworld Eldar that are alive today refused to BDSM Slaneesh into existence and left the rotting corpse of their once great empire. Thats why they're still alive
not to mention, the black library is only the second largest thing in the webway. There's also Commorragh, ostensibly a city of the dark eldar, in reality more like an actual planet. Certainly larger than a craftworld.
93Avenger93 Well, Camorragh was built in there and not stuffed into it.
Wasn't that established that entire planets can be captured and carried into the Webway?
Don't the Necrons do that also, with stuff like world engines?
the necrons cannot enter into the webway, i don't even think they use the warp to travel, not their tech/style. but it's 40k so they do even more rediculous things to keep us fans happy. :)
In the new lore the Emperor was constructing a short stretch of brand new webway which connected to an abandoned Eldar city in the webway and through that to the wider webway network. However while the Emperor had the technology to create a gateway and construct tunnels in the warp he had not yet discovered how to replicate the material the Eldar used to construct their tunnels which is completely inert to the warp and doesn't erode so the human tunnel walls had to be constantly maintained through the psychic effort of the emperor (which made building it on Terra at the centre of the Imperial palace damn stupid if you ask me). After the Magnus psychic communication distracted the emperor and damaged the new webway tunnel hordes of demons were able to invade through the cracks (known as Magnus Folley's)and so the War Within the Webway was fought with Custodes/Sisters of Silence troops fighting a multi year rear guard action. When Horus reached Terra the Emperor was forced to give up trying to salvage the project by sending in hordes of troops until the breaches could be repaired and instead seal the webway portal shut through the Golden Throne. When the Emperor dies however the seal will be broken and there will essentially be a open Warp portal on Terra allowing daemonic invasion directly on to the ground.
The only thing keeping Terra from being overrun and subsequently obliterated by demons is the Emperor and the only thing keeping him alive is the Golden Throne which is, correct me if I'm wrong, slowly failing to operate correctly because they're unable to do proper maintenance on it.
The Imperium is sitting on a gigantic timebomb and probably doesn't even know it.
However since the tunnel is only open due to the Emperor's concerted efforts, then once he dies, the portal should become unstable and therefore collapse. It might stay open for a length of time, say a few months, even years, but eventually it'd collapse.
@Incensement Well, kinda. The Mechanicus and the Emperors caretakers are pretty desperate at this Point, so they've hired Eldar scientists and Dark Eldar Homunculi to teach them how torepair the Throne.

Heresy!
@@samueljosephs6793 tell that to the Custodes, go on I dare you.
- knock knock
- who's there?
- Magnus
- Magnus who?

Magnus when the he broke the wall of psychic powers in the Imperial Temple.
Magnus: I'M THROUGH!!!!
*waves of Daemons rush through for 15 odd seconds*
Magnus: Oh well off to see father.
Teleports inside Palace
Magnus: Father I have grave-
Emps:MAAAAAAAAGGGGNNNNNUUSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Magnus: Uhhhhhhhh.............
@@TeRenner123 lol
Issac Aurthur: "Is moving at less than c a joke to you?"
So basically the Emperor puledl off a HODOR stunt
gawd damn
Hold the portal! Hold the portal! Hol the potal! Ho the potal! Ho potal! Hopotal! Hopoal! Hopol! Hopol! Hopol! Drrrr!
And then the orks made an even better webway out of there dung!
With the ability to swallow entire planets into its poopy goodness!!
"Murder Fucking" count : Not enough
I do believe that the necrons don't need the webway to move around atm. Although they do have a few of those handy dolmen gates.
Afaik, they are the only race with ships which have the ability of faster than lightspeed travel and they can use their knowlegde of other (pocket) dimentions to more around. Although I don't know how easy this is to use these dimensions to move entire armies or if it's mainly limited to a very select group at a time (like obviously the deathmarks).
I do know that their teleportation/phasing tech is pretty powerfull as it will transport necrons over huge distances back to their tombs for instance.
Someone could make a video about all the different ways there are to more around in this universe. As there are quite a few.
They use inertia drives.
I believe their usage of phasing technology on ship to be appear anywhere in the galaxy is retconned and they get those dolmen gates instead of awesome teleportation
Inertialess drives would be so goddamn broken. It would essentially allow you to teleport wherever the fuck you want in the goddamn *universe*.
Still less stupid than the taus not having any FTL whatsoever.
Kaian -a-coel It is broken and that's how necron vessels move. Also they are the only ones able to sustain the inertia travel conditions.
I believe they are the only species in 40k that have jump drives, allowing them to literally step from one side of the galaxy to the other
For some reason I just love the term "murderfucking" and I don't know why
Uhm.. actually... entire space ships do fit through the webway... commoragh the city of the dark eldar deep within the webway is an actual harbor for capital ships. There is even artwork showing eldar battleships flying through its skies with imperial star cruisers impaled onto of commoraghs spires.
Now i dont know about ALL of the webway but this means that there ARE portals big enough to fit entire space ships through, atleast to the size of imperial cruisers.
Craftworlds also dispatch fleets this way too. Though i think Arch is maybe mixing up the portals that open on planets to the ones that open in space? As ones on planets are referenced more than the ones in space.
no they have titans go through the portals aswell. they transition. Arch is wrong about this detail.
i love the D.E. imperial capital ships can't even feel pain... i love them so much. XD
The Dark master Maybe not the ships.. but think about the legions of weeping tech priests crying their bionic implants out!
yesss YES! XD
Terriple thought, what if orks find to way to get in webways.
Eh, at least it they break it they got DAEMONS to kill
What happens depends on how large the WAAAGH is
Why bother? You can have a bigger fight on Armageddon right next door.
my Waagh is based off of this concept xD Its a speed waagh,and after discovering a very old ritual, using the teleyporta on many shokk jump dragsta, and several warp'eads they are capable to brute force it open, they dont get to pick where they come out tho. However it seems that use of webways in this way brings them to gates recently used or too large amounts of Waaagh Energy.
The orks dont mind this tho, as eldar are good fer two fings. Deyz is fast, and nuffink is betta den going Fast. ANd dey know how ta put up a fight!
They had travel in the sea of warp and somehow oh sh-
And to know that Magnus prevented the Emperor to prevent the Heresy by wanting to prevent the Heresy by saying the Emperor what was about to happen.
That sentence gave me a headache.
*reads* ROTFL!!!!
all thanks to the Emprah's superior intellect, planning, foresight and knowledge of his supreme beings of sons...
23:02 I've heard the opposite; the space around the Eye of Terror is naturally unstable and makes it very difficult to navigate through it and it is the Cadian Gate that is the stable passage, which would let Chaos forces leave at leisure if they managed to take it.
Hey Arch, how many subs will it take for you to embrace Matt Ward as your Lord and Savior, and to do a full 50+ min video on how fantastic the Grey Knights are?
Too soon!
I don't know if a human being can even be pushed to such bounds.
Wtf did he ever do to you!?!?
DeafLord18 he talked that that pinnical of retardedness, Sargon of Mosad
I thought Matt Ward had been banished to the Warp.
Gather around children and join me in singing the songs of reawakening and renewal. Raise the Arches of lore and spread his name further and wider.
For the Algorithm!
superb. especially liked the Necron mention. it's an often overlooked area of the webway
14:12 I would like a video on the Imperial Webwhy
the story is this
empror secluded himself to build it
horus went heretic
magnus broke it to try telling the empror
deamons are still trying to enter the throne room
+Cody Archer "oops."
MAGNUSSSSSSS!
+The Emperor of Mankind *Don't worry bro, it'll be fine in a couple a millennia, I just introduced Tzeentch to marijuana and you can guess where its going from there.*
that shit will be trippy....
About my 20th vid into this playlist and only jus realised I haven't subscribed.. Nice work man!!!!...
Wonderful video as always. I really hope you have the opportunity to cover the Dark Eldar sometime in the near future.
Yet another Arch video that I did not know existed but needed.
would love to see an dark eldar lore video. origins and stuff. keep up the good work arch!
Dude I like your Videos so much. I'm glad you covering 40k fluf again!!!
Fucking MAGNUUUUUUS!!!!!
For the Emprah!
Text to speech device.
Everything is going according to plan *tzeentchy laugh*
Just to confirm, that elder 'friend' is the creature, that shall go unnamed, that is located on mars and is supposedly the source of the Mechanicum's religion?
Mag'ladroth, yes.
What???
question- what happened to sublight, hyperdrives and faster than light engines in the 40k universe?
Voted up just for the bdsm part at 11:31. Keep up the good work, Arch.
A certain entity the Eldar try to a(VOID) at any cost. Clever Arch, very clever.
Dammit Magnus. Even when you try doing good things you still fuck up majorly.
that's the whole tragedy of the figure and what is making him such a likeable little critter
Sooo... this is all Magnus' fault?
Wasn't it all Erebus' fault?
***** luther made a tiny-whiny troop that happened to serve chaos...
IamDeadToast Erebus and Kor Phareon....that's pretty much as far as you can trace back Chaos in the Imperium (well, Fulgrim found the Laer sword independet of that, so that could have caused it too... but the HH wouldn't have happened that way)
"Locked away because... Fucking creepy!" may have laughed a bit too hard on that one.
i freaking love Arch
I definitely prefer your way of explaining the intricacies of the Warhammer 40k Universe. Also, way to go Horus. Leave it to The Problem Child to Dick Up FTL travel. The Emperor should have opened the tap on his incubator.
I love when Arch talks of Slaanesh :D
Yay! Moar Arch videos!
Arch I can't stop saying it great video
I too thought Webway Gates were all small until I saw the one in Battlefleet Gothic. A bunch of battleships could drift sideways through the thing at max speed and none of them would hit each other.
"Debriiiis" The tongue rolling is the main reason people watch Arch.
My man Arch! 40K lore yay!
So, in regards to the imperial webway, the book Watcher of the Throne puts it as a mix of the two. Like, there WAS a portal on Terra, but shit was hella tiny, so they just opened it bigger. They also encountered the Impossible City on the other side of the portal, which was the primary battleground if the War in the Webway.
Arch, just gotta say that the eldar dont have the atlas infernal anymore, inquisitor czevac (or however it is spelled) now does
Enjoyed that. Thank you.
The Webway is a rubber tube where you stick marbles in as a concept.
The spoiler you mention at the end of your video. Have you, or do you plan at all to do a video on it? Cause I'm intrigued
well i'm like 90% sure it has something to do with necron survivors
I think the spoiler is to do with the secret identity of the machine god
Big E has a note book somewhere with his plans in it, and it goes something like: Destroying Chaos. Step one, conquer the entire galaxy. Step Two, Break into the eldars place. step three, steal their shit. step four, profit.
Ooo, I'm interested in the tech priest ally lore and implications. When are you going to do a vid on that?
oh please tell more Arch, our collective dingdongs fill with warp energy with anticipation :P
1: Thanks for the video's there both funny and informative(a rare combintion)
2: Question what happends to captured eldar(useally by the inquistion) that are on ships that travel to the warp?
Does a single or small group of eldar draw enough attation to make warp travel even more deadly?
Fuck yeah, you're the man Arch!
My one complaint is that a geller field in the warp would be a beacon to the Desmond on the warp. A pocket of real space in the warp would be a light house in a pitch black night. That is all.
please make a necron lore video next. And thanks for all the amazing videos so fat
Fun Fact guys! According to the Cult mechanicus and Skitarii 7th Edition Codexes, the mechanicum of Stygies VIII (who are known for a heretical fascination with the study of alien technology) Have not only discovered a webway gate, but after a very large battle with an eldar warhost, have secured it and infact have used it!
I always wondered why haven't the Emprah simply make an alliance with the Eldar. Are there even reasons other than "We dun' wanna" on both sides put in fancy way?
The Webway would make a excellent source of liminal space horror.
I thought the eldar or atleast the dark eldar had entire craft worlds hidden in the webway
Dude, I was eating when you got to the book X_X
Can someone explain something to me? Why are there 4 or 5 Webways that say Commorragh? Is it just all of them link solely to there, or is it a split plane?
I love your vids :)
In the necron codex its suggereted that the necron with the help of the c'tan could manipulate the law of space and Time like the theorical alcubier drive at some point in the war in heaven.
“Or going to an airless moon.”
As if our moon is just bursting with oxygen.
I'd love an in depth necron video not just on past lore but current. I'm not familiar with current necrons or their space or influence. Do they still invade worlds? Have fleets? Or are they just kipping all the time?
I love that he used the sentence 'murderfucking a god' twice. TTS is truly its own canon now.
And Again! Great Story!!
Will you do a lore video of the Rana Dandra... the Eldar warp lexicon?
Talk about the (x) most heinous tortures, regimes, utterly dystopian worlds, rulers and the like. Fluffy fluff.
I remember reading something really funny about the tyranids and eldar.
Apparently a craftworld was under attack by a splinter fleet of tyranids. The eldar fought long and hard but eventually managed to send them packing. They werent expecting a roided up zoanthrope literally eating away at the craftworlds infinity circuit. And as such the eldar all died horribly. Or were sent to be slaanesh's new pet/sex toy
The Void Dragon sends his regards.
Would love some more details on the Black Library
Big E: "Ok, im NOT a creepy, sweat goblin, But! Little girl give me your skinn so I can make a book!"
"Because fu**ing creepy!" lmao too funny.
Could the next episode be on the Ghazghkull Thraka, Commissar Yarrick, and the war of Armageddon?
interesting but i must say that now the necrons posses their own technology who allows them to ftl wothout depending of the webway in fact they have something call inertialess drive which are allows them to travel faster than imperial ships
An Eldar lore video on the same day Eternal Crusade gives us Eldar to play... Are you a Farseer?
MAGNUUUUUUUUS!!!
"To add further unpredictability, there are drastic time differences between the warp and real space. Time passes at very variable rates between both realities. Only once a ship jumps out of the warp can it learn how long its journey has taken in real time.[1b] Generally, however, one day in the warp relates to twelve days real time. Sometimes, ships and fleets within the warp can be caught in time bubbles for hundreds of years. This can lead to some strange, but extremely rare, events such as armies being sent across the galaxy to defend a threatened planet only to arrive many years too late"- GW
hey arch I heard a concept like the Web ways but uses principles like that of the alcubierre drive
Anyway we can get a quick video on the Red Scorpions? (The chapter that I play)
Hey Arch, how in the Dawn of War games do the Webway Portal work lorewise? Cuz you could build them essentially, is it like basically adding a door to the Webway, or does the Webway near/on the planet connect to the portal and then connects to the other portals they build across the planet?
Ludicrous speed, go!
Idk if you mentioned this in another video but I want to get into the horus heresy books but there's more than one series which should I read?
Which came first? The Webway or the Stargate. Would the Webway be considered a permanent form of wormholes?
please do the black library. I really want to know more about it.
Arch, have you seen new video that Extra Credits made about GW video-game policy. It does explain a lot.
hehehehe that old friend mr void dragon
any ways i think the emperor alwaysw knew what was going to happen and was trying to complete his web way before the great fuckupery happened and could retake controll, and thats why he ignores so much of what happened.
how do the webway exist?
someone at GW reads "The eye of the world" back in the day.
any thoughts on the adeptus mechanicus and the hints that the machine god may be the Void dragon, one of the last T'can
Other perils of warp travel include: Arriving at your destination before you chronologically set off. Exiting the Warp in the past or future, potentially thousands of years of time travel. Gellar Field failure in transit, exposing the crew to the raw power of the Warp, leaving them open to be mauled by Daemons. Flying directly in to a Warp Storm.
I wonder if members of the Imperial Navy have to sign a waiver?
in theory... you could have a ship fly into the warp today and have it exit yesterday crewed intirely by daemons and being possesed by one itself only to knowingly attack itself, to force itself to make an emergancy warp jump to excape and thus complete the paradox. the emperor is their waiver.
I wonder that temporal paradox works. If the ship from the future stops the ship in the past entering the warp in the first place. Or why Abbadon doesn't just get Tzneech to send a Black Crusade in to the past! Ironicly before the Ordo Chronos was founded.
Are you going to do a video on the Necrons any time soon?
check out his war of the heavens video
Ah yes, another lore video!
where can I find out more about said acquaintance and the mechanicus? :P
