Reacting to Every single Warhammer 40k Faction Explained | Part 1
After going through Brickys Space Marine Factions in a nut shell we took a look at Every Single Warhammer Faction Explained Part 1. Lots more to the imperium than i knew. The Grey Knights sound like a faction that would be right up my alley!

Thanks for stopping in and checking out the Video! I Hope you enjoy it and I Hope you are having a wonderful day!
There is an ultra marine movie that came out in 2001 there are a few recent series but they are locked behind the warhammer+ subscription paywall
The shamans is most most widely accepted theory
The innocence proves nothing motto actually makes some sense when you learn more about the 40k universe. Some people unknowingly perform heresy/demon worship or rituals and believe they haven't. They can be victims of parasite style possession while being unaware.
@ERRATAS0343 Monopoly is just a board game, this is a board game with an extensive and fleshed out lore and universe with over 50 books just on the Horus Heresy. It is definitely that deep 'bro'.
@ERRATAS0343it's also a shit ton of books and lore. Like, Horus Heresy alone is like over a hundred books by now.
@ERRATAS0343 🤡
Bricky is a great intro to the universe but it also gonna make you confused on some things as he goes for entertainment over accuracy. Still, theres no better way to get a quick intro. I highly recommend leutin09's the emperor of man parts one and two. Theyre 90 mins each but youll learn a TON about the imperium. Itll really help you understand a lot of future videos. People are gonna start reccomending warrior tier and a vox in the void etc, which are stellar channels but its best to get more into the lore first. Then youll be able to enjoy channels that tell stories better since youll actually know whats being talked about. New sub btw! Im always down to watch someone get sucked into 40k!
awesome thank you for the recommendations ill be sure to check out leutin09's channel
Leutin is kinda unofficially known in the fan community as "The Loremaster"
Inquisitors answer only to themselves and the Emperor, human Pyskers can be recruited and trained to become Inquisitors too so not only do you have a person who can do anything but also have the Pysker power to read your mind and explode your head to bits with a just a thought.
Space Marines get their recruits by taking normal human boys 10 years old and putting them through brutal and traumatic trails to see who is strong, the Grey Knights do the same but they look for boys who are Pyskers.
The Custsodes are known as the ten thousand because there are only ten thousand of them.
The Emperor is the only Pysker to be able to use his Pysker powers in the presence of blanks/Sisters of silence. Not even his Primarch son Magnus the Red who is one of the most powerful Pyskers can't use his Pysker powers when in the presence of blanks.
Just a very very very minor nitpick. Even though the inquisitors only answer to the Emperor, if a Custodes were to "request" something from the inquisition...technically they can refuse....but...😂😂😂
So yeah, that's it, otherwise, yeah
@@momqabt yeah I can imagine Inquisitors of having "accidents" when working with Space Marine Chapters especially Dark Angels.
The birth of the Emperor is a highly debated topic, and no one seems to have a straight answer on where he came from lol
35:07 the gun jams when you dont pray to it
43:59 to answer the chain of command question, It's difficult, as you suspect the chain of command is quite convoluted, it's going to depend on how high ranked the highest ranked member of each imperial army is as to who would command the army as a whole.
The adeptus mechanicus usually sit in a position of we don't take orders but also don't give orders, usually imperial forces will request aid from them and they will decide for themselves if it's worth it for them to help or not, they are generally pretty cooperative with imperial forces because there are tech preasts scattered throughout all levels of imperial society to keep the imperium running and a threat to the imperium is also a threat to imperial technology.
Space marines sit in a weird spot because of the horus heresy. Prior to it, space marines were top dogs they were in charge of the armies and horus himself was warmaster, then horus did the thing and big E got messed up, the inquisition was created, the high lords of terra took full control of the imperium and the the primarchs started dying/disappearing this left the space marines in this spot of having to technically answer to the high lords of terra and the inquisition while at the same time being genetically linked to the primarchs and the emperor, the space marines are literally believed to be angels of death by the average citizen, they don't take orders from most and will often take control on arrival unless there's an imperial officer of very high rank or an inquisitor and even then it is not uncommon for battles to happen between space marines and imperial forces because one side or the other didn't like a decision the other made.
Sisters of battle and imperial guard are both lower ranked in terms of imperial command it's not often you will have a case of either one of them telling a space marine what to do and they are definitely not telling an inquisitor what to do.
But this is just a rule of thumb. Like i said at the start, it ultimately comes down to who's there and whose operation it is
Might be coming in a bit late with this, but to elaborate on the Adeptus Mechanicus: They are not only the industrial basis of the Imperium of Man, but scientific as well. The core dogma of the Omnissian Cult is the pursuit of technological progress, knowledge and its comprehension. Particularly of knowledge that was once known, and is now lost to humanity, mostly in the form of STCs (Standard Template Constructs) - Basically blueprints for various machines and technologies from before the time of the Imperium of Man. What isn't really mentioned is how fractured and incohesive the various circles within the cult are. What time isn't spent managing industry and machinery or researching artifacts of old is spent by discussion and bickering about what constitutes the "Rightful path of Comprehension". The only things that the Cult mostly universally agrees on is:
1) AI (Artificial intelligence, or as they call it, abominable intelligence) is forbidden from being researched and produced.
2) Integration of warp sorcery and energies into machinery is forbidden.
3) Research, usage and reproduction of alien technology is forbidden.
I say mostly, for even these fairly respected tenets tend to be challenged by the most radical Tech-priests within the cult. Such individuals are usually branded a so-called "Heretek", expelled from the cult and declared the enemies of Adeptus Mechanicus, and of the Imperium at large.
Besides that, there is a millennia-old schism concerning whether innovating on your own should be considered heretical or not, and various sects within the cult have their own interpretation of the matter. While usually the cult is very conservative, newer media shows them being more and more open to experimentation (The Current Archmagos of Mars, as in: Tech-pope, is pretty chill about innovating on his own), and to shunning the dogma of conservative attitudes toward technology (The new 40K: Rogue Trader game has a whole game-spanning questline built around this premise).
56:30 blanks have a negative soul, so warp effect literally die around them because there is no soul to mess with, their job is to hold deamons in real space so the custodes can “kill” them vs just banish them
7:13 The tabletop stuff can be expensive to get into if you try and buy a whole army at once for full scale 40k. But something like Kill Team, which is just small squads against each other, is much more accessible - and considered by many to be a better game.
Also it's funny that people seem to forget - you don't HAVE to paint anything. I mean you could play the game with a box of army men if you wanted as long as your opponent doesn't mind. The minis don't actually add anything to the gameplay, it's purely cosmetic. Sure, it's nicer to have a painted army but GW don't come round your house and kick the door in if you don't. It's only a matter for official tournament play. Tbh I'd say it's probably worth playing the game a bit BEFORE buying any minis - no point investing if you find you don't enjoy it.
13:10 That's not necessarily canon any more. It comes from the first Realm of Chaos supplement book back in first edition 40k in 1988. But a lot of lore from that time isn't the same as it is now, so it's not really considered the 'true' story. There's a whole lot about the Emperor's biological children in there too, which isn't a thing any more. They haven't updated it with anything else since then, though, and they probably won't - it's probably truer to say his origins are a mystery. There are other theories, like he was a kind of bio-weapon engineered in the Golden Age of Technology and stuff. But it's all speculation. With that said GW do like to dig into 1st edition to bring back stuff in updated forms so who knows?
43:19 Generally it would go roughly Space Marines > Sisters of Battle > Guard. Space Marines are largely semi-independent and mostly go around doing what they want, but they have the authority to take charge of whenever they like over Guard or Planets. I think Ad Mech are sort of their own thing, and it depends on the battle. But often the battles might come under the charge of a particular commander, or a smaller group maybe under an Inquisitor (because they're really top of any tree). But on the other hand the factions are often at odds with each other in the universe (or even amongst themselves) so it really depends on the scenario. (Sisters of Battle can be suspicious of Space Marines for instance). There's a lot of politics and infighting in the Imperium.
The Cult Mechanicus is allowed to worship the Onnissiah and has complete autonomy over the Forge-Worlds they occupy by the decree of the Emperor himself and under the terms of the Treaty of Olympus.
Basically their autonomy and position is requisite that they are to provide the imperium with the technology, materiel, and weapons the Imperium requires to maintain itself in all things.
There are a couple of animated series like Hammer and Bolter, Angels of Death, Iron Within, etc. on Warhammer+, Games Workshops own streaming service.
really ill have to look into those
If you wanna know more good space marine faction, the lamenters are another good space marine faction
51:00 oh man.. RIP Geoff. he had a warlord titan yes, was like a little baby to him. good times..
yea very sad. to young to pass and he was a great guy
Battlefleet Gothic is the ship combat game.
One inaccuracy that bricky mentions in this video as that he kinda refers to custodes as space marines which is not true. they are not space marines. it like saying that your house kitten is the same as a bangled tiger. custodes do not use gene-seed like space marines do. they undergo a completely different process of modification. space marines are usually taken in at about 8 to 10 years old and have organs implanted into them. custodes are taken in at an even younger age and their modifications and organs are actually grown inside them. where space marines typically study only the facet of war, custodes also study science, art, and even state craft. just to show how much of a different level these guys are on.
34:42 yes and no, the "prayer" of the mechanicus is mostly like the technical manual of the machine, like instead of just pushing the on switch they burn incence and chant for 5 minutes to revere the saint on switch and then push it... the machine spirit is like an imaginary friend born from the interpretation of what the machine do by the priest, it's like the morons who says they feel ghost just because some shit fell in their apartment... on large scale though like spaceship and titan the machine spirit is basically the ai of the thing even if they'll never admit it cause ai is heretical since the war with the men of iron...
43:20 the answer is no one "take charge" cause those faction weren't created to act together to begin with but there is still some possibility... imperial guard will do what they can to follow what the space marines says cause they are the angels of the emperor, for regular human or guard seeing a space marine is like seing an angel or valkirie for us it's so rare that some people don't believe in their existence, like some religious myth. so if they show up it's like trying to follow a messenger from god himself, but in the end you don't "have" to follow them because they don't really care if you do... sisters are even worse they were created waaaaay after space marine or guard and think that it's their duty to clean everything that is not emperor-sexual, they will not hesitate to attack even space marine if there is even the tiniest hint of heresy or lack of faith... in the improbably situation of those faction being in the same spot they will do their shit solo while "trying" to not hinder eachother...
Chain of command is dependent on situation. Marines and guard may be subservient to planetary defence command or ground force command. But some inquisitor can take command by himslef, or some legendary hero. Sisters and church do their own missions working alongside other regiments and factions. Mechanicus and Titans have a privelege to choose who to help or not. Allied forces can petition them for aid for example. Different assassin ordos work on their own. Noble families' personal guard fight for their masters and no one else. Navy nobilites are separated from ground forces, so they also do their own job, most of the time with ground forces. 40k is a neo-feudal regime, where allegiance is more dynamic than we used to.
My own personal equivalence for Inquisitors is the SPECTREs from Mass Effect: Charged with keeping the peace by any means necessary and answerable only to the top tier of government.
that seems like a good comparison
The Emperor's origin isn't fully known, it's theorized and told by unreliable sources but never stated as fact. Personally I like the shaman theory and it makes the most sense to me as that would also make him a perpetual and would explain why it took so long for him to come forward.
I love my Custodes
A great reaction to a mere glimpse of 40k lore. You mentioned 40k licensing & how they could've got into more media. I have a question for you. Have you ever seen the movie, Event Horizon? A sci fi horror from the 90's. This was originally written as a fan story about the invention of Warp travel. But when shown it & asked if they would license it, GW said no! So the script was ever so slightly (merely the names of a couple of items & the Warp) altered for the movie to be done. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. This is Warp travel gone WRONG!
yes ive talked about it a little bit in a couple of my 40k reaction vids. Event horizon is one of my fav horror movies
@@JohnMatrixTV You also mention costs of an army. Either Grey Knights or Imperial knights are the cheapest armies to put together (a couple of hundred $ for a medium sized army). Mostly because you will have so few models in your army. Please check out some of Leutin's lore on the Grey Knights. He's the source to go for for indepth & VERY accurate lore vids. & I've been a BIG TIME collector since '89 & could give University level lectures on most of 40k. Leutin knows his stuff
@@andrewmoss3681 the grey knights would prob be the faction i would start with on the table top and i def plan to check out those videos i just havnt had time to sit down and go through them yet.
@@JohnMatrixTV best of luck getting through it 🤣
@@andrewmoss3681im looking forward to it
Was it TB you were talking about when mentioning a streamer that bought a figure?
it was Incontrol
They tried bringing out a few computer games in the 90's but they flopped becuase not many people had pc's back then. I think that kinda scared them from doing other media for many years. Glad your getting into it. 👍
You also kinda hit on somthing there...£££😁 It used to be about the hobby and creation, building your own scenery, models ect. Now days its all kits and cash.
P.S. The inquisitors are great and often work with heritics and xenos to achive their aims.
There’s a mechanicus game that plays like xcom. If that interests you it’d be a decent way to dig a little deeper into their deal. The OST is fire too. Bricky used some songs in this video even.
Battle fleet: gothic 1 & 2 would be good games for an introduction into 40k space combat and you can learn a little about several races through it.
You seem to know several good 40k games, but I don’t recall you mentioning these 2 so they are my recommendations to add to your repertoire.
i have battlefleet gothic 2 but havnt jumped into it yet. i saw the xcom game with the grey knights but i saw the reviews for the game were not very good so i havnt really taken a look at it much. whats the mechanicus game called?
@@JohnMatrixTV warhammer 40,000: mechanicus.
I think I’ve seen the grey knight game before but never played it myself. If it supports mods maybe one of them can fix some of the issues the game has. I’ll check for that before buying it if I see it on sale then I suppose.
@@DarkCrimsonBlade alright cool ill give it a look and might grab it while the steam sale is still going on. TY
if your looking at a more in depth look at the 40k time line brick just released 1 not long ago
So about why there isn't more, Games Workshop is like really dumb with how they handle the IP There are actually a few animated shows, but they are on a Warhammer specific streaming site. They are not in any way of a quality to be worth the cost. They really want to do everything themselves or at least hand the series to major fans, which is why almost nothing is ever done. On one hand it's great that they are not handing out the license left and right,* on the other hand, it sucks that we don't have more content.
More content would bring more people to the hobby, that is practically a fact, but I guess GW just doesn't want to risk giving someone a license and having them mess it up.
The fact that Total War Warhammer (fantasy not 40k) somehow got made is a miracle.
*Unless it's a freaking shitty microtransaction laden mobile game. Seriously the amount of shitty Warhammer 40k games is shocking.
Basically, they want to keep as much as possible in-house so that they don't have a chance of losing the IP.
Ok, next video lol!
Before I start, thanks for the like on my last comment.
Long time player and lover of all the lore. If you have any burning questions, please ask.
Subbed! Now it's time to watch.
Ok, Origin of the Emperor;
Every story is both the Truth and a Lie.
Many stories exist as to Imps birth, all are true and all are lies.
Games Workshop has left it ambiguous and thus, all the stories are fan fiction.
Cheers.
Thanks for the sub man i really appreciate it!
I follow everyone that starts walking this path.
I am the OSHA standard Guardrail that lines the winding path up to the top of 40k Mountain. 😊
@@JohnMatrixTVI had a msg about how to get into 40k but it vanished into the warp.
Poorhammer 40k is using proxies for everything. I started with colored popsicle sticks hot glued to Quarters. That was over a decade ago.
@@beatooze8025 lol
Pls Watch what is Warhammer 40k? timeline of warhammer from bricky
ill check it out for sure
Astartes don't pray. They don't think emperoror is a god. Except Black Templars but they're nutcases.
40k is nowhere close to Star Trek in terms of the "vastness" of the lore, its just Games Workshop doesnt know how to unify it into one setting. Star Trek didnt have that problem until Discovery came out...
Also, if youre not a wargamer or collector of minis, its probably best you just get into the 40k RPG, like i did, especially if you have any background in RPGs
