Thank you so much for all the fantastic comments, and making me feel so welcome into the 40k "gang" ❤ You are fantastic!
Another good couple things to watch, Astartes, which is a fan animation and If the Emperor had a Text to Speech Device, which is a parody series that also contains some interesting info while also being hilarious
@@TheAngryMoth104 Thank you! 😍 I got so many things to watch, so I can't promise that these are comming super soon. But stay tuned!
The 2nd and the 11th legions were erased from all imperial records for some reason, so it's as if they never existed. Back in the day, Games Workshop made this so that players could create their own Space Marine legions.
And the player fans thought it was stupid to create your own legions
that's still up for debate because the 2nd and 11th legion are not meant for players to fill in, it just has been repeated by the community. Rick Priestley himself confirmed it. The Lost Legions are only part of the lore as an unknowable mystery to add some spice to the lore. The 1000 space marine chapters are the place for players to make their own lore
We do have some possibilities of what happened, as after the two legions were removed, there was a surge in the ultramarines numbers, and sanguinius feared he’d become one of the empty altars because of the genetic defect, referring to the two empty plinths that once held the two primarchs depictions.
I think In a hidden shrine as well the two stand in icons for the two primarchs are two figures in masks and the masks are almost completely cracked and split.
@@weaponmaster1515 Homebrew chapters are fine IMO as long as they follow existing chapter's rule set, but Homebrew legions don't make much sense.
You already have 18 very different legions to choose from and thousands of successor chapters. Even if you want to play a loyalist chapter of a traitor legions, there are options- it's not explicitly stated but heavily implied that Blood Ravens are Thousand Sons successors, Space Sharks are Night Lords, Minotaurs are Iron Warriors, etc.
@@therandomartist3201 it is believed that the ultramaris absorbed atleast one of the remenents of the lost legion. There are references to some of the lost primarchs, for example Bile mentions one of the Pirmarchs exploits.
Angron is a kind man before the nail. He has the ability to absorb pain and suffering from people around him which he often do so his gladiator brothers can sleep peacefully at night
Thank you so much for your comment. So nice to get some extra facts to add to his story. Makes it even sader that he has been turned into what he is now 😭
@@OleHerland Power sword can cut steel like butter.
Melee weapons are needed because many enemies are able to get close because of many different reasons - it could be good armor (space marine is a good example), hard to kill (tyranid or demons) or share numbers
.
Also if space marine with melee weapon able to get close....he would cause a meat grinder into your troops
One of the most ironic and tragic things about Angron? If they hadn't mangled his brain with those nails, he might have grown up to be as kind as Vulkan...maybe not as openly warm and friendly, but he'd be this amazing badass with a hard exterior and a heart of gold.
Now I'm sad. In another timeline, he could've become Spartacus in space, and the 18th Legion Would not turn into the animalistic have become the World Eaters, but instead a legion of heroic chainbreakers.
Guilliman, the primarch of the Ultramarines isn't depressed because there is war and a lot to take care of.
When the emperor was doing his crusades, he didn't want people to think that he is a demi-god / god. He really hated that. As bricky said with the word bearers, Lorgar wanted to show that he had a full planet fully worshpping him. Big E was so angry that he razed the planet completely.
Today, the entierety of the imperium is worshiping the emperor. It is a religious empire with terrible logistic.
Guilliman came back and now has to handle everything the emperor was against.
AAaaaahhhh, that makes so much sense! I wasn't thinking about that they where so against religion, and now they are worshiping the big E SO hard!
Thank you so much for your comment @ltHavok06 😍
@@OleHerland Big E is an atheist even though he himself is a literal living god that was formed in the the Warp by the souls of the willingly sacrificed bunch of shamans in ancient human times, like thousands of years BC, because they wanted to help, guide and protect humanity even back then since they saw how fucked up and primitive humans were.
The Horus Heresy explanation that Bricky gives is super memey, So ill give a super short version. Horus was manipulated by Chaos, who showed him a vision of the current Imperium (worship of the Emperor as a god, never ending war, dead Primarchs) and convinced him that this future would come to pass if he did not act against his father. Horus then manipulated half of his brother Primarchs into betraying the emperor by exploiting their own grievances (The Emperor is a bad dad) or through straight up deception. This Civil war lasted like only seven years, but effectively ruined the imperium for ten thousand years. Even during the current 40k setting, humanity hasnt really recovered from the Horus Heresy. As for Perturabo, he essentially never got recognition for how insanely talented he was. He would be given assignments that made his brothers look like they were babies in comparison, and he would always succeed, but whenever he did they would simply give him another brutal assignment. When his siblings got parades and medals and titles for their deeds, Perturabo would only get another task. Additionally, he liked to build and create things, but the Emperor would only use him for his Siegebreaking and war skills, which really disillusioned him to the Imperium.
It's important to note that he got these awful assignments mainly bc he wouldn't refuse taking one, get it done and not voice complains to Big E.
I'm positive that if Perturabo voiced his grievances to Emps, he'd give him the recognition and let him build, etc. But that's not the kind of person Perturabo is.
Perturabo would rather seethe in anger and frustration but stay quiet about it rather than complain bc complaining is stupid.
He bitches and moans to himself in his corner, but not once is he like "that last compliance sucked ASS! Can I at least get a pat on the back for getting it done?".
I can't say I hate Perturabo bc he's way too much of a bad ass and he carried the SHIT out of the traitor legions, but man he's a bitter prick...
@@edim108 oh for sure. Perty would never have asked for a different assignment, that would have been beneath him. He just expected Emperor to magically know that he didnt want to do this. I would say though that the Emperor likely should have known what Pertys attitude was and how to help him, just like he should have known what he did to Angron would bite him in the ass.
@@aaronhorn4312Angron did nothing wrong
@@XDfunnyguy Oh he did plenty wrong. He just had an actual understandable reason for it.
@@edim108 Angron did nothing wrong, was justified in having done nothing wrong, and recent lore states he continues to do nothing wrong
All of the Primarchs have something special about them, Perturabo had a curse where whenever he close his eyes he looked into the Eye of Terror (that giant warp rift in the middle of the Galaxy), he also knew how to do everything perfectly from birth. Because of this, he, as someone who loved to discover new things found very little joy in life and the people around him never even acknowledged his accomplishments. The rivalry between the Iron Warriors and the Imperial fists springs from 2 things: Perturabo *loved* to create. He was a builder and planned all these great beautiful things for the Imperiums worlds, but because of his expertise in architecture, the Emperor forced him into always fighting the sieges and backwater battles, wich Perturabo hated and got no recognition for. Instead Rogal Dorn was hailed as a hero for protecting the Imperiums worlds, and at last got the title of Pretorian of Terra, and the honor of building the Imperial Palace (wich Perturabo would most likely have done better if his work in the Heresy is anything to go by, in fact in a battle called ”The Iron Cage“ Rogal tried hunting down Perturabo and almost all of the Fists died against Perturabos fortress).
The firsts are more German/American. The Ultramarines are the Romans.
Perturabo remains one of my favorite primarchs
I think ultramarines are inspired by greek while the Custodes are the romans
@@eneram8846 you for real? The fan arts of the ultramarines are literally drawn as a roman legionnaires, hell! Robot girlyman is wearing a crown that you see what a roman emperors wear.
Wow, thank you so much for your comment! That was so interesting to read through. Makes a lot of sense that there would be a lot of jealousy between the Primarchs, and especially if Perturabo is this perfect guy. And seeing into the Eye of Terror every time he closes his eyes. Ai, that sounds really messed up! 😅
@@TheMightyCrucibleKnight184 honestly it's a mix of the two because of how much their cultures intertwined though it definitely leans towards the romans more mainly with Bobby G himself as I basically see him as Emps trying to recreate the best qualities of Caesar just like I think Horus was Emps trying to recreate Alexander
The Night Lords are traitor marines, but a lot of them see Chaos as weakness, so they are more of a renegade group rather than dedicated followers of Chaos. The Night Lords are actually a super interesting traitor legion, because in a grimdark world, they were criticized and ostracized for essentially being too grimdark. Curze had noble intentions, but no sense of balance. He believed that all crimes, regardless of severity were punishable by death. When they were a part of the Imperium before the Heresy, planets that rebelled would often stop their rebellion and begin paying tithes as the merest hint that the Night Lords were being dispatched to punish them. Of course the Night Lords would still do their thing once they got there because it doesnt change the fact that the government or the people erred and must be punished.
Oh damn, the 40k universe is nothing but horrifying. I feel like I had this innocent view on it as I started watching 40k videos, but I'm slowly starting to realize how truly scary and grim it is. So interesting tho! 👀
@@OleHerlandSoul hunter trilogy is nice
The more you learn about the Space Wolves, you’ll either love them or hate them. They’re a very divisive group. On one hand, they’re so loyal and devoted to the emperor that they follow his command and the call of battle without fail. On the other hand, their overzealous actions caused a LOT OF PROBLEMS during the Horus Heresy, and basically created the Thousand Sons as a Chaos threat.
That was Horus' fault.
Ai, sounds really interesting! DRAMA ALERT! 👀
Also they care about civilians almost as much as Salamanders
@@iron-thorne Altho I would say the space wolves care about *saving* civilians more than they care about *ensuring the safety* of the civilians, if that makes sense. The space wolves want to be the heroes who slay the evil, while the salamanders would be happy playing poolside lifeguards if it meant the populace was made safer.
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly fair point.
20:31 the thing going on with Perturabo’s wires is that he has a literal supercomputer hooked up to his brain.
He IS the computer at that point 👀😅
@@OleHerland To put it in persepctive for how hard Peter Turbo carried the traitors, he micromanaged the entire Siege of Terra, where at one point, he was plugged into the battle net and paid attention to/gave orders to tens of thousands of simultaneous engagements featuring billions of men, across an area the size of Texas or India.
He basically processed information and acted on it with the speed of a military-grade strategic AI.
Then his brothers kept fucking everything up, Chaos kept corrupting and infecting things, and Horus kept insisting on stupid decisions because the gods demanded it, so Perty just took his toys and abandoned the siege.
Not sure if it's mentioned but deep in the Imperial Palace on Holy Terra there exists a vault only known to the Custodes and Sisters of Silence (I believe) which has rooms with weapons, creatures and artefacts too powerful to be let out. In room/cell XI (11) there is a lone figure which is rumoured to be the 11th Primarch.
Fun fact: when you die in 40k, your soul goes into the warp. When a Chaos Marine dies, they go back to the warp and regenerate, able to return to the materium after some time. When the Emperor took out Horus, he also made sure that his soul was destroyed, ensuring that Horus will never be able to return.
Not....really. Chaos Marines die like normal. Their "souls" don't go anywhere. However, if they've shown themselves to be good at whatever Chaos they bring, maybe the god shines on them a bit and gives them some gifts, like turning them into a daemon...or whatever the fuck Nurgle does to them.
You're talking of demons, but Space Marines only return if they are of notable worth. Horus was straight up Alt+F4'd from existance.
@@SSD_Penumbra Yea it's all just a game to the Chaos gods. So Chaos factions can actually be stopped. But the chaos gods can just easily bring them back if they want too.
@@SSD_Penumbra Actually chaos marines can be brought back by the gods, but only if the gods really really like them. Kharn or Lucius for example are "normal" chaos marines but have both been brought back several times bc of how much favour they each have with their respective gods
@@caedes4367 Eliphas from the Dawn of War series also got brought back from the dead. He's not exactly one of the favored chosen ones on the same level of Kharn or Lucius, but the chaos gods resurrected him so he could carry out a specific mission.
(translation: he was popular enough with the fans that Relic brought him back)
Remember that Nurgle loves you for who you are.
Still a better dad than the Emperor
Papa Nurgle is the best. Started to worship him last Friday actually 👀 Feeling a lot better. Don't tell big E tho 🙄
5:45 Meme, but it is a large power pack.
9:15 Yeah, they blew it up themselves to "prevent" the Fallen
14:50 Second Legion doesn't exist, don't think about the 2nd. Are you thinking of the 2nd? Well the Inquisition is on its way, prepare to be purged.
20:25 Perturabo basically has data cables plugged directly into his brain so that he can absorb information and give orders with a thought.
23:15 Yep, the sweet whisperings of the Chaos E-girls tempted Horus to Chaos despite Big E's efforts. But simplified, Chaos gave Horus a vision of the future where the Emperor was worshiped as a God and influenced him into a rebellion that turned more and more towards Chaos as it went.
26:06 They don't give up, losing parts of them mean nothing. Slap an augmetic on the stump and put them back in the meatgrinder as the Primarch wills.
32:45 All of the legions have different physical traits based on their Primarch. The Space Wolves tend to look more wolf like with fangs, shaggier hair, sometimes turning into werewolves, the usual fair.
35:55 Yes, Rogal Dorn is missing and presumed dead in modern 40k because all that was found was his hand aboard a traitorous ship he had boarded.
37:30 He is Daemon possessed, you can make your own judgements on how "good" or "bad" he is.
44:10 The Night Lords are Chaos aligned but don't fully bow to its powers. It is a means to an end to see the Imperium fall.
45:30 The Emperor is a couple of steps down from Horus but in reality could be nearly whatever size he wanted due to psychic powers.
47:00 They see visions of Horus everywhere they look and feel everything that Sanguinius felt during his final moments. All of the betrayal, heartbreak, and all that can satisfy it is their chainsword through the heart of "Horus".
49:05 The Iron Hands are closely tied to the Mechanicus so that vibe is well founded.
51:59 Yep, Angron is a tragic tale. He seemed to be destined to be one of the more thoughtful and kind Primarchs.
55:00 If the battlefield around him is any indication I'd say its left over from the battle he just ended. But I can guarantee he barely feels the wounds due to the Nails.
58:33: Yep, Roboute is the Lord Commander of the Imperium. He is the "Avenging Son" in the current timeline and really hates his job but will fulfil his duty.
1:07:45 Most traitor legions had to purge their ranks of the loyalists among them before continuing further into the rebellion. See the Isstvan III Atrocity for some details into what went down with one such purge.
1:20:30 "I am Alpharius. This is a lie." The Alpha Legion are my favorite Legion. They are totally loyal to Chaos and there is no reason to suspect that multiple warbands are actually working towards the preservation of the Imperium.
Hang in I thought I was Alpharius 🤔
Wooooooow, you answered maybe almost all of my questions?! And, some that where just thoughts out loud! I've learned so much from your answers, and I'm feeling so grateful! Thank you a million times for taking your time to write this comment @MrLeathcheann 😍😍😍😍 Sorry for the slow response! And thank you again!!
awesome comment.
No, I'M Alpharius (this is a lie).
Fun Fact about the Emperor's Children; they spent their time during the siege of Terra hunting down humans and using bits of them to make new drugs to get high on.
There is a great series by Arbitor Ian called "Heresy 101: Legion Lore" where he explains the beginnings of each legion and their Primarch, follows them through the Great Crusade, and discusses their part in the Horus Heresy. Super great bits of history to inform the current state of the Warhammer universe.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! I gotta check out more from Arbitor, he seams like a really good person with great content! Thank you again!
1: themperor over all
2: he created the primarchs in the lab (you are right on this one)
3: from the different genes of every primarch, he created the space marine legions....a watered down version of each specififc primarch if you will.
4: the custodes are a special bunch, they are also genetical engineered, but more effort are put into them. think about it like this. the space marines are knifes from a factory....the custodes are handcrafted and forged by the greatest blacksmiths
hope it helps
It does help indeed! Thank you so much 🤩
Hey Ole! You had some questions at the 6minute mark so I'm here to answer them. The Emperor created the primarchs in a Lab by using his own genes. Every legion has something called the "Gene seed". It's basically a copy of that legions primarchs genes. Space marines are regular imperial guard soldiers that get implanted with extra organs via surgery and then they give them the gene seed. If they survive this (most of them dont) they become a space marine of that legion and get to share specific traits of their primarch. There are also legion specific things you have to do to earn this gene seed. For example Space Wolves have you do the Spartan manhood ritual basically to earn your place among them. They drop you into the wilderness with nothing and you have to survive back to the base. like 98% die cause their planet is really not a nice place :D
If your primarch joins chaos you can choose as a marine not to join, but that will be the end of you most likely
They @Sammalkives and thank you so much for your comment and telling me about this! I've just watched/posted the "PACE MARINE CREATION/RECRUITMENT - Your guide on becoming an Astartes", and learned a bit more about this.
Super interesting, and so brutal! Human lives doesn't seam to be worth that much in the 40k universe 👀
The "Gene seed" as I understand it is from the Emperor, and each seed has a "Special Ability". Does that mean that the Emperor actually posesses all of these abilities/traits? Or, is it just amped to 10000x in a lab?
Thank you again for your comment!😍
Just to clarify they don't take adult men and do the implementation process the best age for success is around preteen-early teenage years kinda like the spartan 2s from halo except their training and augmentation takes a lot longer but it makes them much better.
@@OleHerland No the emperor is basically a god. So he created a bunch of primarchs in tubes. Each primarch represent parts of his will. Angron is suppose to be representing the Emperor's empathy and kindness I think. They are not genetically related.
58:31 yes, Guilliman is the current acting leader of the Imperium.
"It blew up" - mostly through Exterminatus
Haha, for real? A LOT of blowing up 😅😂
@@OleHerland it’s because it’s their home worlds where they have the most authority and their biggest recruiting pool. So a big chunk were destroyed.
Personally when I started Warhammer, I had a hard time understanding why the Emperor's Children were traitors XD
Like, I had no videos summarizing the universe, so I just tried to guess based on the name of each legion, and some are very confusing ^^
Heheheh, 100% can understand that! 😂 So glad I have these videos to watch to get into it. Must have been a lot harder before 👀 Thanks for your comment!
Fun fact about the Raven Guard:
Corvus Corax, their Primarch, has the ability to turn off parts of other people's brain to make them sort of blind to him. He can manipulate others to just not see him. This ability was also passed onto the best of his sons.
Dark Angels: Paranoid Chads
2nd Legion: *[REDACTED]*
Emperor's Children: Purple people don't get laid
Iron Warriors: Competent Incels who hate you and everything you stand for.
White Scars: I AM SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
Space Wolves: Vikings in Space
Imperial Fists: We're going to build a wall and make the Xenos pay for it
Night Lords: War Crime enthusiasts
Blood Angels: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GODDAMN HORUSES EVERYWHERE
Iron Hands: PRAISE BE THE OMNISSIAH
11th Legion: *[DATA EXPUNGED]*
World Eaters: my blood boils with the rage of a thousand suns
Ultramarines: Basic Bitch
Death Guard: Pain? What's that?
Thousand Sons: Wizards in Space
Sons of Horus/Luna Wolves/Black Legion: Chaos Ultramarines
Word Bearers: Don't fuck with me! I have the power of God and anime on my side!
Salamanders: Warms your heart(and your body, if you're a Xenos)
Raven Guard: You can't see me
The Alpha Legion: We don't exist...Or do we?(VSauce theme plays)
The funny thing about the Salamanders is that one time when they burn that Eldar child to death in a crowd of human civilians! YEEHAW!!!!.
thats how i remember it :3
If you like Salamanders, you should definitely watch Baldemort's video on them. The second half of it is their lore, but the first part is a short story from a space marine's point of view that perfectly showcases the legion's character.
Thank you! They are nice + I am nice = perfect match 👼Hehe. Thank you for the recommendation! Put it on my list 😍
15:46 Describing them fighting as painting a work of art is very appropriate. Fulgrim would've very much appreciated such a description.
I got into 40k last year, and I have to say I’m still learning something new about it’s lore every day.
My personal legion is the Alpha legion, of course I like all the legions and their successor chapters, but the whole vibe, designs and especially the memes for the Alpha legion are very much my drift lmao
Furthermore with how over the top their plans are
for example
A basic Alpha legion plan involving a assassination of a political leader
1: Send in one assassin to take him out
2: Send in a second assassin to take out the first assassin to cover the tracks
3: send in a third marine to take out the first two at once, because the second marine was really the target all along
4: reveal that the first three steps were just a ploy to throw off enemy forces and have everyone relocated to an allied ship
5: take the ship into imperial space
6: self-destruct the ship and reveal that it was actually infested with heretics and daemons
7: return to the world
8: cleanse the entire world of heretics and reveal that the Alpha legion had been in place for years slowly taking over every political position of power from the get go
9: take on the façade of the heretics and force the Imperium to return to the world
10: wage a "War" against the Imperium itself to subtly make the Imperium presence in the system larger
11: suddenly vanish and leave the world to the Imperium as it is revealed that an Ork fleet is now on its way and the Imperium can face it properly due to the presence of the "heretics"
12: reveal half of the reinforcements for the Imperium are Alpha legion sleeper agents
13: drive back the orks
14: return home to learn that Alpharius was that one Alpha legion marine that was with you the entire time and had taken orders from another marine
15: realize that your not headed home and instead to some strange planet
16: land on the planet and you learn that you are being placed in the Alpha legion now
17: roast a chicken over a fire
18: eat the chicken
19: stay up all night telling ghost stories
20: your mom
21: get your mind wiped because your not supposed to know about the Alpha legion anyway
22: find out Alpharius was Omegon and Omegon was Alpharius
23: get a migraine
24: fuck bitches
25: Repeat
Fun fact Lorgar the traitor primarch who was all about worshipping the chaos gods was the one who wrote the bible that the imperium now lives by
The iron warriors doesn't die, because everytime someone falls they could easily replace them.
backpack is basically a mini reactor
Uuh, that is really cool! 🤩 Thanks for your comment ❤️
Space marines have extra organs all around their bodies and the thought process and blood circulation is insane compared to a regular human being. That’s why they have to strap refrigerators on their backs to avoid overheating and hoses feed the cold to all the important organs.
On the exploding planets: many (if not all) of the homeworlds of the traitor-legions/-primarchs were exterminated in retaliation for their betrayal.
Oooh, that is why! Makes sense in a way 🤔 Thank you so much for your comment!! 🔥😍
In Warhammer 40k you DO bring a knife to a gunfight for two reasons: 1)it's honourable and 2) it's actually a power knife that can cut through metal like butter
The "refrigirator" on their back is actually , the Power Supply of the suit which also houses their oxygen supply and air filtration system
the 2nd and 11th legions were originally intended to be blank spots for the 2 players of a game of the warhammer tabletop to fill in with their own legion, but reconciling that with the lore was too difficult, so they became the lost primarchs, expunged from imperial records and memory
If you're interested in the World Eaters and the Word Bearers I strongly recommend the 'The Butchers Nails' audio drama released by Black Library. It's not just an audiobook but an actual audioplay with voice actors and environmental sounds. It's like listening to the audio of a Warhammer movie. The story is an insight into the tragedy of Angron and his relationship with Lorgar. It really humanizes them and their legions and makes them feel like real people.
10:45 The swords used by Space Marines are all Power Swords. They are actually very advanced technology, and are able to cut virtually anything.
To answer your question about side switching: Right at the start of the Horus Heresy the traitor legions basically took all their space marines on a "Group training" exercise to kill whatever loyalists were in their legions right before they joined Chaos. The exercise was of course just a farce in order to round up all the loyalists at once to kill right then and there though some survived. The Thousand sons tho weren't present as they didn't join Chaos until way later. Also some loyalist legions had traitor factions splinter off like the Fallen from the Dark angels
It's also not uncommon for there to be splinted groups that were too far away to even know the events of the Horus heresy and to be apart of the traitor legions but still believe they are loyal. They are often assaulted and/or killed by the loyalists because they're from traitor legions or their own Legion brothers who trick them into thinking they are loyal to ambush them
Yeah and some of the most interesting space marines in the Horus heresy books are the loyalists from the traitor chapter, Loken, Garro
You said you are a little ill? Papa Nurgle bestowed upon you his gift!
Hahaha, love it. Papa Nurgle ❤️
You should watch If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device. It's a comedic take on 40K with a plot exactly as the title says, but it's also very true to the franchise in spirit. Sadly after Games Workshop decided fanworks are no longer permitted it was put on indefinite hiatus last year, which put me and my wife off playing the tabletop.
I second this suggestion.
10:25 Those swords are known as Power Swords. They're kinda like, glorified Lightning rods in the sense that they surge with so much like, lightning and power, they act more like an energy sword from Halo rather than a classic, old sword.
I was curious to know if that was the case. Absolutely butchered with one of those in Darktide and didn't know if they all emit lighting like that
@@Th3Downz Oh yeah! They're absolutely nuts. Some can emite plasma/lightning, or fire.
your comment on 25:19 was actually a spot on description of the iron warrios for a beginner in the universe well done
Each Primearch had a gift. A talent a special quirk that each of them had.
Angron had the ability to feel other people emotions around him. He was an empath which was very interesting.
Jagatia Khan could never feel fatigue.
And so on so forth.
And then I had more reasons to related to Angron ☹
5:43 Close. The backpack contains the power source for the armour, as well as the cooling systems for it.
51:35 That Clip is from Emperor's Text to speech device
And despite coming from a satire series of 40k is compleatly accurate
15:04 The delicious irony of your reaction pleases the gods of Chaos
Some swords are power weapons that can do more damage, some weapons also gain power from psychic abilities, great video
Really cool that there is more to the swords etc. Starting to learn more and more about them from the comments 😍 Thank you for yours! 🔥
many space marines of traitor legions didnt want to join chaos so the horus and the other primarchs massacred them in one battle killing them all but a few.
Damn, that is wild 👀 Thank you for your comment!
1:04:50 - Dust is closed in their armors. They are basically possessed armors with dust inside.
As far as I know, Primarchs (the Emperor's "sons") were created by the Emperor on Luna (Earth's Moon) and then basically thrown into the void of space as infants (such a good dad, the Emperor is). Of course, when you're hurtling through space, you tend to hit something. These Primarchs made planetfall on different worlds, eventually being adopted and shaped by the culture of these worlds. For example:
Leman Russ grew up on Fenris, a cold death world. Therefore, he knew how to survive in harsh conditions and became more like the inhabitants of the planet: wolf-like.
Konrad Curze of the Night Lords grew up on Nostramo, a world known for having no light and extreme violence. He lived on the streets and grew up to be a big buff guy (cuz he was designed by the Emperor to become so). Eventually he started tearing apart criminals in the streets, he became popular, and turned into a governor.
Lion El'Johnson landed on Caliban, a world with a knightly culture. Therefore, he was trained to be a good swordsman and duelist.
etc. etc.
So all the Primarchs have a reason to have that personality. Once they grew up and started becoming more popular, the Emperor would come along with an army to the planet they grew up on and pick them up. They would be assigned their own legion of Space Marines from the on.
As for the Space Marines themselves, they are handpicked from the homeworld of the Legions and then whoever passes the selection gradually goes through brutal amounts of genetic modification and implants to become a supersoldier. These surgeries happen everytime they advance through their training. Once they finish their training, they have all the organs and traits of a Space Marine.
46:58 Yes. Anyone they see that isn't also affected by the Black Rage, they see as Horus.
Isn't it amazing how once you finally unpause, you get the answers to all these questions you want to stop and ask every 10seconds?
"Butchered Together" is actually a great way to describe space marines becoming space marines
Hahah, that is true. With all of the stuff that goes into becoming one 😅
Bricky glosses over some important Space Wolf things. Like how they have a genetic defect that can make them basically into werewolves. They’re sort of like Blood Angels in that way but the werewolf version instead of vampires. As they age their fangs grow longer and they get thicker and more wiry hair, they have incredibly keen senses, especially smell. He also mentions that they resort to cannibalism sometimes, which is true, but that’s not unique to the Space Wolves, all space marines are capable of that.
They’re also one of the legions more likely to look out for civilians. In fact the current leader (because the primarch Leman Russ is lost somewhere in the warp) basically started a war with the inquisition and the grey knights to protect the citizens and soldiers of the planet Armageddon after a fight with demons and the world eaters. The inquisition wanted to purge anyone who had seen the demons afterwards and the Spaces Wolves said “Not on my watch!” Although some think Grimnar, the wolves leader, did it more to pick a fight than to save people. Space wolves like to fight, haha.
1:14:20 The reason why the other legions don’t take the Salamander approach is that the caring nature of the Salamanders can really fuck themselves over. Salamanders are far smaller than the other legions in size because they take so much casualties to avoid damage to civilians. They are basically an endangered species compared to other marines since it is not uncommon that they take absurd percentages of causalities (Up to 90% died in the Horus Heresy). You can’t just easily replace a space marine like some random guy, they need years of training, extreme luck to survive getting stuffed with new organs, and vast fortunes to equip them. The other loyalist legions take a colder, although more pragmatic approach, to preserve themselves at the expense of the populace so they can have a proper standing army to fight chaos. It is just isn’t practical, as ruthless as it is.
It's not that Blood Angels want to drink blood or enjoy it - they just feel compelled to do it by malfunctioning geneseed messing with their heads.
So the weapons that look like regular swords or axes, or hammers are not. That are called Power Weapins.
The is a button on the handle that when pressed sheaths the blade I'm a emergy field..
The other times if a osyker character they have a force weapon, which they use their own powers to cover the blade in some type of effecr.
Glad you are feeling better
Thank you! Got a bit of a fallback today, so had to take a day off. But hope I'm back at 💯 soon! 🤩
The Primarchs are definetly his sons. The Big E took his DNA and the DNA of their mother and instead of just the normal thing of waiting 9 months for a kid to form inside a woman one by one, the Emperor instead used 20 different "tubes" to make his boys. But yes the 20 are his boys in every sense of the word, they were just "built" in a lab instead of birthed from a woman. That's what Bricky meant.
The Custodes are...Weird... We don't know a whole much about them but what I THINK we know is that they seem to be a *mix* of "This guy was made head to toe in a gene lab, but he's still a person" and "This guy was 3 years old when the Emperor saw his potential and turned him into a custodian through top of the damn line gene-crafting." But yeah they're super special, the books often describe each of them as a biological art piece, each one a Mona Lisa of gene-crafting in their own right and there are only 10k of them. The Emperor genuinely hesitates to throw them into the fire even when necessary because he puts so much into each and every one of them.
The Space Marines are the lowest of them all, though they're still powerfull. Marines are taken as kids from the ages of 9-18ish at most and instead of having their bodies carefully and artfully manipulated like the Custodes, they're put on a surgery table, cut open, and then have geneseed organs shoved into their holes. They are the mass produced "factory machines" of the Imperium's special forces when compared to their other enhanced kin like the Custodes. In total there are about only a million of them who are loyalist scatter across the Imperium.
And that my friend, is the difference between Primarch, Custodian and Astartes.
Some are. Some were built that way by Malchior, aka, Big E's right hand man and some where cloned directly from the chapter's primarch, like Sanguinius and the Blood Angels all being related and having the same affliction.
1:07:56 not all the members of the traitors legions became traitors themselves, in fact the rebellious primarchs got rid of all the loyalists in their legion in an event named « the atrocity of Istvan III »
Thank you for the extra info! 😍
when the legions tunred traitor, they effectivly all killed 1/3 of theyr legions because they were too loyal to turn. Some survived the heresy and stayed loyal, other were loyal to the bitter end.
So to answer your question about potential loyalists on the traitor side, yes there were a few, not a lot but those loyal to the Emperor were mostly purged when the traitor legions all gathered at Istvaan 3 (this is covered in the 3rd book of the Heresy series, Galaxy in Flames) and sent their loyalist elements to the surface then massacred them from orbit, we're talking nukes, orbital bombardments, virus bombs, the lot, all of them were destroyed then those lucky few who managed to escape eventually find each other in later books and become the Knights Errant (the precursor to the Grey Knights/Inquisition) led by Nathaniel Garro, formerly of the Death Guard, then another prominent character is the main pov character in the first 3 Heresy books, Garviel Loken of the Sons of Horus (previously called the Luna Wolves, yes they had 3 names, Luna Wolves when they were loyalist, Sons of Horus after they turned traitor and purged the loyalists in their ranks then the Black Legion after Horus was destroyed by the Emperor at the final battle of the Siege of Terra)
Yeah Space Marines are like super tough. I remember a novel I've read, with a scene where imperial guards follow a squad of World Eaters (they're not with Chaos, it's just that the World Eeaters want to stop Slaaneshi cultists, and the guards too, so they follow sneakily to let them fight each other ^^), and it's incredible how the Space Marines just walk and kill everything in sight while bullets and blows just hit them without causing any damage. The first marine to die, did so only because a slaaneshi cultists rushed at him, and then detonated a bomb while hugging him, exploding both of them. And the World Eater was still conscious after that, though he died rapidly XD
You can kill Space Marines with conventional weapons, but it will take a lot of bullets, and a lot of luck, your best chance is to use heavy weapons ^^
Fun fact the iron warriors had a society inside their legion that built robots and was deemed a rival to the mechanicus a single space marine legin managed to rival the tech priests of mars building technology that the tech priests didnt want them to
each legion have their own theme taken from real life like example the white scars are Genghis Khan, the son of Horus (Horus legion before the Horus heresy) are roman like warrior with side way mohawk thing on the helmet, and the thousand done like Egypt looking
YES! So excited to get to watch this so soon after seeing your other Bricky reactions.
Thank you so much!! Really really love getting into warhammer, and these lore videos are just gold! 😍 Really appreciate your support ❤️

The traitor legion’s planets all got blown up by Lion El’ Johnson during the Horus Heresy
I propose you check out the:
"Do or Don't" series about Warhammer 40k factions
with
Do or Don't: T'au Empire
It will give you neat deeper introduction to factions Bricky showcased in his massive video
The Iron Warriors vs The Imperial Fists: The unstoppable force vs The immovable object... The ultimate sword vs the perfect shield...
24:00 the Horus heresy started when Horus was almost killed and was revived having visions of 99% of the future. Half of his brothers were going to betray them, the emperor was going to ascend to godhood and the imperium would be on the brink of total collapse. The 1% that wasn’t revealed to Horus was the fact that he would be the one to bring all of this into fruition.
Little know fact about the 2nd and 11th legion is that they where erased from all Imperial records also known as "the forgotten and the purged". Way back when Warhammer 40k was known as Rouge Traders they actually had legion names which was The Rainbow Warriors and The Valedictors.
A bit late to the party on this one but a bit of context on the return of Guilliman. In short, he only recently started ruling the imperium as it has been ruled by a group of people called the high lords of Terra for the last 10,000 years. He didn't watch it slowly slip into it's current awful state, he woke up to find an empire he once believed in suddenly rotten to the core. To give more detail:
The Horus heresy and associated wounding of the emperor occured in the 31st millenium, so roughly 10,000 years before the current warhammer setting. In the years after the emperor became interred on the golden throne, most of the loyalist primarchs went missing or were pressumed dead. Examples of this include Rogal Dorn vanishing with only his severed hand to be found (hence the needing a hand joke) and Jaghatai Khan vanishing into the eldar webway. Guilliman ended up in a fight with Fulgrim, the now demon primarch of the Emperor's Children, and during this fight gets his throat slit with a poisoned demonic dagger. Rescued by his sons and on the verge of death, Guilliman is taken to his home world of Macragge and interred within a statis field (think a place were time is halted) where he remained for 10,000 years.
During the 10,000 years that he was slumbering on Macragge, the imperium fell into religious zealotry and worship of the Emperor, something that Guilliman had fought so hard at the Emperor's side to eradicate. So, once he is awakened, he finds an imperium on the brink of collapse and rotten to the core, embodying everything he once hated and, as Bricky put it, he immediately wanted to fucking die. I'm not sure of the source for this but apparently the first thing he said when returning to Terra and kneeling before the Emperor's throne was "Why do I still live? What more do you want from me? I gave everything I had to you, to them. Look what they have made of our dream." So yeah, he has ultradepression.
Just remember, in 40k, knifes always win gun fights. The number one thing you gotta learn to get used to in 40k is just rolling with it.
The traitor legions had marines who remained loyal but they culled most of them before turning openly traitor. The Istvan massacre was basically all the uncertain elements being sent on a planet which was then virusbombed. Not all traitors did it this way but aside from a very small number not many of the loyal elements survived.
now you've drawn attention to it, yeah the Imperial Fists really do project Roman empire vibes, no idea why I never picked up on that before
No, they are his children. There was a woman involved in the creation of the primarchs. Erda and the Emperor are the parents of the primarchs. They were formed with both of their genes.
Wow! Thank you so much for your comment! Interesting fact to know 👌
But formed in a lab with added warp fuckery :) and Erda was not a normal woman, she was an immortal (Perpetual) like the Emperor
To answer your questions about the sons of Horus. Look up Istvaan 3 and then istvaan 5
The current state in the Imperium, I think (it changes rapidly these days, and the new version this summer will probably change things ^^) is that there's a gigantic warp breach taht have teared the galaxy in half, and notably, have cut out half the Imperium from the Astronomicon (the mega psychich light house emitted by the Emperor that guide ships through the warp). That half is known as the Dark Imperium, and creating that is like the biggest win for Chaos since the almost death of the Emperor.
Roboute Guilliman was brought back to life (kinda, he was in a stasis field in a state near death for millenia) by a combination of super advanced tech and eldar sorcery (which is heresy so it's kept secret), and have lead a new Crusade to save the Dark Imperium. Until now, the biggest thing he did was saving the Blood Angels from a super huge tyranid invasion.
So for the moment, Roboute is like the number one of the Imperium, as he's the closest thing they have of a living God (though he hate being worshipped, the Emepror and the Primarchs hated religion and banned all og them ^^), and he's leading a huge crusade to reunite the Imperium and repel Chaos.
The II and XI Legion are lost, we don't know much about them. All kinds of theories are floating around (built from eastereggs and fluff) but the reality is, there is no answer. the original writer (Rick Astley) wanted to create a mysterious atmosphere so he wrote two lost legions. People ran with the idea and started to create their own legions with their made up colours.
They are also inspired by the lost Roman legions (like most things in Warhammer are inspired by real history, religion or other franchises).
The Black Rage of the Blood Angels makes them think it is still the Horus Heresy ,that THEY are Sanguinius , their Battle Brothers are the long dead Marines that took part in the Siege of Terra and final fight and that the Foes are Horus and his fellow traitors.
I think it was the short story that was released when GW killed off Captain Tycho, a Blood Angels lore and game character, that when the Rage over took him, he saw one of the Chapter's Chaplains and a old friend of his as Primarch Dorn, that is how mentally they are affected .
I highly recommend watching a lore video on Captain Tycho, a very tragic character.
The Alpha Legion is my favourite, but just a bit ahead of the World Bearers
The reason so many planets have blown up is because the home worlds of all traitor legions were destroyed after the heresy
Okay, Your question of "needs a hand";
Rogal Dorn went missing during a catastrophic mission on a Space Hulk (Massive ship) with the only part of him being found was his hand. The hand was enshrined on the Phalanx and each new Chapter Master is allowed to enscribe their name or heraldry onto the skeletal remains.
TTS series goes into more detail.
So many questions, lets talk about that:
1) Yes the swords are effectiv. Many species go direct in melee. And the swords are not ours. They have energy swords.
3)The emperors children are fallen because thes didn`t try to get perfect as a distant goal. They think they have to be perfect and this right HERE.
4) The Iron Warriors are so bitter, because they are experts of sieges. So they get posted only to brutal sieges, where you not get much honor. So they did not feel respected. And with the genes of the biggest incel of the galaxy, well...... ^^
7) Dorn needs a hand, because after a battle he was disappeared and the onls thing his sons found, was his hand.
8) The night lords ware totaly chaos. I don`t even know if they have any loyalists in the horus heresy.
10) Yes the Iron hands are so much in love with the mechanicum, that the church of the imperium didn´t get the priests of the Iron Hands an roarius. That is an amulet, that show respect.
13) The primarch of the ultramarines ist the first primarch, who is retuned in warhammer 40k to the empire. He was thousands of years in a stasis field because he was deadly wounded and it takes many time until he could safe.
14) All planets from the chaos legions are destroyed, because the autors want show us that the forces of chaos leads to doom every time.
Because that the homeworld of the dark angels is destroyed too. And the traitors was only a part of them.
15) Yes the Thousand Sons are not mora than dust. See the legion had ever the problem, that many crazy mutations be an part of their. After the burn of Prospero this get so worse, that one witcher try to make a spell to fix that. And the result of this was not what he wanted. ^^
16) The Legion of Horus are calld first the Luna Wolves, as Horus get Warmaster, they get renamed as Sons of Horus. And yes there was Sons of Horus (and many of the other traitor legions) who dont want to betray the empire. But, they get murdered from ther primarchs.
17) Yes the emperor hate religions. But since he is on the golden throne he could`nt say: "Hey shut up."
18) Well the other space marines has not forgotten their way. For the empire it had never a high priority to save individual humans. The emperor had genozided entire regions on terra if they aren`t able to be on line.
The Salamandas was the exception all the time.
PS: My list of favorite Legions are:
1) Space Wolfs
2)Salamanders
3)Death Guard
4) RavenGuard
5) Blood Angels.
Glad to see you checking out more warhammer and bricky content :)
Thank you so much! I'm super exited about and happy about getting into Warhammer. And these Bricky videos are just fire! 🔥😍
@@OleHerland If you want more Warhammer content, I think that Weshammer videos are awesome ^^
@Ole Herland also if you like the horus heresy lore, there's this really good fan creation called the roboutian heresy. It's version of the horus heresy except each of the primarchs and legions switch sides, and they give an actually good alternate backstory for each primarch and legion to justify the change
you'd be so surprised how much melee and cqc combat there is in 40k
That is really interesting! Got a video on my list that I'm going to check out on the subject 🤩
So the thing about melee weapons in 40k is that they're generally very technologically advanced. While there are decidedly mundane variations for the rank and file, it is surprisingly easy to get a chainsword with adamantium teeth that cuts through flesh and blood like water, or a power sword that uses a weaponized forcefield to part the molecules of the target like Moses and the Red Sea. And then there's the Thunderhammer, a monstrous two-handed warhammer with a built in forcefield generator that takes the concept of a power sword and applies it in the form of overwhelming blunt force.
Melee weapons are no joke in 40k, and they're usually being carried by things that are either able to dodge bullets or just shrug them off like spitwads; there is a reason Space Marines use .50 caliber automatic RPGs as their main weapon, because there might be some Sith Lord with a vibroblade running at you shooting lighting bolts from his eyeballs.
To answer your question about the ''hierarchy of power'' of the Imperium
- The Emperor is top tier, he's a ''perpetual'' (immortal) and the strongest ''psyker'' ( basically ''space wizards'' who channel the energies of the Warp dimension). Even though, he hated to be called a ''god'', he's pretty much godlike.
- The Primarchs are his ''sons'', created by combining his DNA, the DNA of Erda ( a female perpetual) and adding some forbidden ''Warp magic''. ( it is theorized that the Emperor captured some ''lesser'' Warp gods and infused the Primarchs with them.) They're basically demi-gods, with insane physical strenght, speed, healing, intelligence, charisma and some have some special abillities. Like Corax could become ''invisible'' to the human eye, Magnus is a powerful psyker, Konrad Kurze could see visions of the future, Sanguinius had wings & could fly, Leman Russ had the ability to not be affected why psykers etc. The Chaos Gods then kidnapped them from the lab & scaterred them all across the galaxy.
- The Custodes are the elite bodyguards of the Emperor. They're originally baseline humans, who are subjected to a complicated process, that turns them into uber-warriors. It's very difficult to create a Custodes, even for the Emperor, he never managed to ''mass produce'' them. On the other hand, every Custodes is like a one-man army. In one story, 5 of these guys took on an entire Chaos Marines army and won!
- The Astartes (Space Marines) are created by taking a baseline human and subjecting him to a grueling, painful and dangerous procedure, where he's injected with ''gene seed'' ( genetic material from a Primarch) and they also implant a bunch of artificial organs & cybernetics in him. For example, they have 3 lungs, 2 hearts, can survive toxic atmospheres, feel no pain etc. This process is less complicated then the one for the Custodes, but still very difficult and doesn't always work. Many candidates either die or turn into horrible mutants and it works only with males, because the Primarch ''gene seed'' isn't compatible with female DNA.
Among the Astartes, the ''Grey Knights'' chapter are considered more powerful, because every one of them is a psyker and they're created with ''gene seed'', that is supposedly from the Emperor himself. They're a special unit that fights only Chaos Daemons.
TL;DR
Astartes= Super soldier
Custodes= Super soldier, turbocharged & on steroids
Primarch= Demi-God warrior with genius intellect
Emperor= Immortal, militant, autocratic Space-Jesus
When it was showing the shaker cup I was struggling to stay focused 😅
You got such a baseline view of 40k from the last 2 of Bricky's videos. Now you're getting into the insane depth
The funny thing about Night Lords is that they caused probably the least casualties. By doing some horrific torture they caused planets to surrender without much warfare.
Also if you are new to painting minis Duncan Rhodes has great tutorials for beginners. Thin your paints and two coats.
Space Wolves can become Werewolves when triggered they turn into something called a Wulfen.
Hey Herland! I have some post Heresy lore and then some current day stuff, too.
After the Heresy Legions of Space Marines were reduced in size, down to 1,000 member limits. However, each remaining loyalist legion was allowed to spawn off as many "Successor Chapters" as they wanted. The Black Templars are probably the most famous of them because of their methodology and complete disregard for their size limit. Successor chapters are still made from the Geneseed as the original legions Primarch. The BT comes from Rogal Dorn as the Flesh Tearers come from the Blood Angels. Successor Chapters often have very different cultures than that of the parent legion.
In recent events where Roboute Guilliman has been resurrected and returned to the setting, Chaos has split the galaxy in half thanks to a Warp rift opening massively.
Guilliman has launched the Indomitus Crusade in response with fleets larger than some seen even since the Heresy. After returning home and saving it from Mortarion and a massive death guard invasion, Guilliman proceeded to help the blood angels be saved from anhilation by the largest of Tyranid Hive fleets known as Leviathan. Here, the Blood Angels and every successor chapter they could muster fought for their home solar system and world until Guilliman cut a swath in the fleet in a last-minute arrival.
The Chapter Master of the Blood Angels is Dante, a 1,500 year old Space Marine has now been tasked with ruling the second half of the Imperium that can no longer see the Emperors light (the Astronomicon). As Lord Regent of Imperium Nihlus or "The Dark Imperium," Dante is a broken man with one more duty at the end of days.
Abaddon the Despoiler is hot off the heels of breaking Cadia and opening that Warp rift I mentioned earlier (The Cicatrix Maledictum) as the current leader of the Black Legion. He is now currently working with the Demon of Invention known as Vashtorr the Arkifane. He makes all the demon tech of Chaos war bands. Vashtorr has created Space Hulks that are converted into working space ships called The Arks of Omen. These are massive smashed together sections of other previous ships, and now they can fly and deploy armies. 13 of them are flying through the galaxy wreaking havoc and stealing treasures that Vashtorr needs to rise as the 5th God of Chaos.
Also it's looking like Lionel Johnson of the Dark Angels will return soon.
Hey @dariusfafoutakis8021, and thank you so much for the lore! Really interesting to read through. So much to learn and understand. Hope I'm able to get things better with time. There is just so much 😅
@Ole Herland It's a lot that's why I try and break it down step by step without flying off into stories or connected factions or whatever. It's kinda best to go faction by faction before you see how it all fits together. Same with Terminology, don't get super hung up on it at first. It will be easier once you hear stories or animations and it all comes together.
Well, the swords in Warhammer 40K tend to have a power field around it that disrupts atoms. It’s like a high frequency blade from metal gear rising revengance
Are you interested in watching Luetin's videos, they have a lot less jokes but go *much* further into the lore
There's also Weshammer who has a lot of list videos about warhammer and videos going in depth about a specific character
Second this, especially his 'Orks: Wars is Life'. There is also a cool animated series on the whole Armageddon wars and Black Templars there thats on CZcams which I can't recall the name of right now, watching both videos is like Orks perspective vs humans perspective
If it helps, pick a favourite loyalist legion AND a heretic legion, for me loyalist is Imperial Fists (more so for the Crimson Fists) and heretic is Nightlords
For anyone new wondering how “Scorched Earth” The Lion and, by extension The Dark Angels, are: HE IS THE REASON ALL THE TRAITOR PRIMARCHS DON’T HAVE HOME PLANETS ANYMORE!
The emperor decreed no INE talk about the 2nd and 11th legions
in all the Crusade, the iron warriors were the ones that got the worst treatment. They accepted any task given to them without complaint because they did not want to seem weak. They were handed long, bloody, inglorious siege campaigns that no one else wanted. They were without a primarch for a long time, and watched jealously as other legions were celebrated, honored, and held in high regard. They found no pleasure in the wars they fought, and were growing increasingly bitter and envious of the other legions. Then they got Pertarabo, thinking they would feel the fatherly love that Guilliman or Horus gave to their legions. After witnessing his legion in action for the first time, Pertarabo ordered decimation on his legion. 1 in 10 astartes were to be beaten to death by their squad mates. not because they failed, but because they didn't measure up in Peter Turbo's eyes. And Perty hated his sons. they were numbers to him. He expended them like the legion expended normal soldiers to clear minefields. Perty prefered autonoma body guards because he trusted them more than his own sons.
6:32 The Primearch's ARE the Emperors children, but they were not naturally born, they were created in a tube with The Emporers genetics mixed in with various different DNA, including some animal DNA. As for how a Space Marine is made, the sons of a Primearch, they go out and take a human child, put them through some of the most rigorous training, then they add a whole bunch of new organs to the child, pump him full of super drugs, and lastly the DNA of their respective Primearch.
